In a dim corner, Wen Yu slowly opened the wooden box in his hands.
Inside the box was a fluid bead that glowed like a water droplet, gently swaying under Wen Yu's gaze.
As his fingers lightly touched the object in the box, a chilling sensation coursed through his fingertips, and at the same time, a notification sound clearly resonated in his mind.
“Enlightenment (S-rank, Item): The rune technology system of the Immortal Heroic World, a high-tech product created after merging with nano-electronic technology. Once the host consumes it, it will automatically collect auditory information around them, analyze the languages of different intelligent life forms in the air, and quickly master the common language of various intelligent races.”
Upon seeing the description of the Enlightenment item, Wen Yu couldn't help but swallow hard.
The function of this small item was self-evident; it perfectly eliminated the language barriers between various races with just one item.
Moreover, the strategic value of this thing was not just limited to that—communicating with other life forms in the same world, and even with the demonic clan.
For strong individuals, its effects might be minimal—strong beings can use mental waves to tackle language issues. But what about lower life forms?
How many unnecessary battles occurred because of communication problems...
Holding the Enlightenment in his hands, Wen Yu couldn't help but ask, “This thing is quite precious, right...?”
“Ha ha.”
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine let out a sneer, as if looking at a naive person.
“Stuff you'd find in a maternity supply store, how precious do you think it is? This thing is merely a toy to accelerate the growth of descendants in the Immortal Heroic World.”
An S-rank item was dismissed as something akin to “children's literature” on Earth, and at that moment, Wen Yu really didn't know what to say.
However, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine summarized it well.
“There’s a saying in Huaxia that’s quite interesting: technology is the primary productive force. Of course, in my view, the importance of population and technology is basically the same, being second only to the pinnacle of powerful beings.”
“You're a lone ranger, so you might not understand what I'm saying, but you must know that technology doesn't enhance individual combat ability; it enhances the war foundation of a race.”
“The battle against the demonic clan isn’t just about strong beings; it also involves the foundation and potential of the race. No matter how strong you are alone, what difference does it make? Can you guarantee you won't die? Can you find time to stop the demonic clan from extracting the earth's core essence? Once the origin power is drained and the demonic clan retreats from Earth, won’t you just be waiting to die here?”
“Perhaps these things seem less important to you without your own strength, but if you show this to someone of the first tier, using the method of creating Enlightenment, swapping it for a foundation level skill is definitely not a problem!”
Wen Yu simply listened to the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine’s reasoning, but the phrase “using the method of creating Enlightenment to swap for a foundation level skill is definitely not a problem!” made him perk up immediately.
“Wait, the method of creating Enlightenment? Do you have the method for that?”
“Ah... you really..."
The Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine was utterly shocked by Wen Yu's thought process.
He couldn't grasp the deeper meanings, but his sensitivity to benefits was truly beyond the imagination of the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine!
After a long pause, the Heaven-Piercing Demon Vine weakly explained, “I already told you, the clothes and the token are your biggest gains from this journey to the Heavenly Palace. Forget it, let’s go to the Lord's Mansion. Once we get there, you'll understand.”

As Wen Yu walked into the maternity supply store, happily communicating with the staff.
