Chapter 44 – Expert

This scene lasted for twenty minutes.

After seeing the lake return back to normal, Wei Xiao Bei let out a sigh and turned around.

He did not even understand why he sighed. Was it because the black beetles had disappeared, or was it because of the mystery of Lake Cui?

On his way back, the closer he got to the street, the more he felt like someone was watching him. However, every time he tried to carefully inspect his surroundings, the feeling vanished.

Overall, he was very tired and exhausted.

As soon as he reached his room, he threw himself on the bed. The fatigue that had been suppressed surged all over his body, making him almost immobile and quickly putting him to sleep.

He did not know when he left The Dust World, and the red-clothed woman on the rooftop gradually disappeared.

While eating Cheng Si Si’s knife-shaved noodles, Wei Xiao Bei’s gaze was somewhat lifeless like a robot. He kept on picking up the noodles and shovelling them in his mouth in a continuous cycle.

But it was not like something had happened to him, he was just checking out the rewards he had reaped from The Dust World.

Agility: 9.78 (Hand-eye Coordination: 9.03, Flexibility: 11.03, Reflex: 11.03, Balance: 8.03)

Skills: Shooting (Intermediate), Military Boxing (Intermediate), Electrical Work (Beginner), Bajiquan (Advanced), Fishing (Beginner), Three Emperor Canon Fist (Beginner).

Special Skill: Release Electricity (Maximum strength 35 volts. Maximum current 9.8 milliampere. This skill formed after Wei Xiao Bei ate the Thunder Worm Electric Ball. Maintaining a constant output for a long period could allow this skill to level up. Using this while exercising would stimulate strength and slowly increase agility.)

Evolution Points: 1303

Items on hand: None

Something that needed to be explained was that Three Emperor Canon Fist turned into a skill when he had learned it.

Naturally, the Three Emperor Canon Fist was only at a beginner level. It was still far from the already advanced level Bajiquan.

His trip this time to The Dust World consisted of wasting a bit of time in the Fishman Village and continuously killing those black beetles.

As he kept on smashing the beetles, the more he retreated, and slower he became, making his efficiency decrease. This had also made him extremely lethargic. It seemed the amount of time he could stay in the Dust World should not exceed 2 hours.

If four beetles gave him 1 evolution point, then he must have killed more than 5000 to earn 1253 evolution points.

For Wei Xiao Bei, this amount of evolution points was a lot.

Killing a normal Fishman gave him 10 points, an Elite Fishman 40 points, and a Fishman Guard 60 points.

This meant that in his recent trip to The Dust World, he had killed the equivalent of 125 normal Fishmen, or 30 Elite Fishmen, or 20 Fishman Guards.

After inspecting his status panel a bit more, he became extremely happy. His recent gain was truly something rare.

It  was like he was a beggar. Normally, he would get 30-40 yuan a day. But suddenly, one day, he bumped into a millionaire and was given 1000 yuan.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei’s indescribable smile, Cheng Si Si was bewildered. She even thought that something was on her face and hastily wiped his face.

“Junior apprentice brother? Junior apprentice brother?”

After finding out that nothing was wrong with her, Cheng Si Si quickly went in front of Wei Xiao Bei. She waved her hand in front of him a few times before he came back to his senses.

“Ah. What’s wrong? Little Senior apprentice sister, don’t disturb me from eating.”

Wei Xiao Bei simply did not notice anything wrong. He even thought that she was playing tricks on him.

“What’s wrong? That should be my question.”

Cheng Si Si was curious about the current Wei Xiao Bei. She even ignored at how he called her little senior apprentice sister. “Speak, why are you smiling like that? Could it be that you found a girlfriend? What’s her name? When are you bringing her here to let your senior apprentice sister take a look?”

Wei Xiao Bie’s forehead let out beads of sweat at Cheng Si Si’s question.

This little senior apprentice sister is a little too overbearing.

Although he already knew this from their first meeting, at that time they were not that familiar with each other yet, especially because she had not yet shown her true colors.

Right now though, everyone was familiar with each other and were already unreserved when speaking. Meanwhile, his little senior apprentice sister started to reveal her true nature. It was very possible that during grade school, middle school, and high school, she had been controlled by her teachers and her father. Now that she was in college, no one could control her. Her sorrow had turned to joy. As a result, the refined lady had gradually turned into a rather destructive tomboy.

“No, your junior apprentice brother is a bachelor. I want money, but I don’t have any. I want someone, but there is no one. What girlfriend, if I had one, she would probably still be in mother-in-law’s belly.”

Wei Xiao Bei mocked himself with a bitter smile.

“How could that be? You look a bit manly now, you know. Whatever, wash the dishes after you finish. This senior apprentice sister of yours is going out to buy things.”

Cheng Si Si realised that she spoke carelessly, making her blush. She threw down her last words and dashed out of the dining room.

What was wrong with little senior apprentice sister?

Wei Xiao Bei muttered in confusion. However, this was also a good chance. With his little senior apprentice gone, he could think about how he could use his evolution points.

He now had 1303 evolution points after hitting the jackpot.

If he placed them in any sub-attribute, he could increase them by 13 points!

From his point of view, his attribute would have earth shattering changes.

After thinking for a bit, he rejected the idea of placing the evolution points in the sub-attributes.

        This could indeed increase my attribute by a huge amount, but it’d still be too limited.

Wei Xiao Bei thought for a while before deciding to increase his Bajiquan by another level to increase his battle strength. He temporarily ignored the Three Emperor Canon Fist.

By concentrating on Bajiquan, his evolution points quickly decreased.

This time, Bajiquan took a slower time to evolve. One breath, two breaths, three breaths… Bajiquan changed only after three breaths. Bajiquan had changed from advanced to expert.
