The City of Terror

Chapter 45 – Increasing the Health Attribute

After this, Wei Xiao Bei felt a lot of things flow into his head.

He quickly put down his bowl and left the dining room, arriving at the inner practice ground.

There was no one in the inner practice ground. His master had left for some business, while his apprentice brothers were teaching students outside.

After taking a short break and drinking a bit of tea to aid digestion, Wei Xiao Bei practiced Bajiquan routines and then practiced the Six Harmonies Great Spear for one round.

After letting out a tired sigh, his face showed happiness. His understanding towards Bajiquan became deeper, and the things that he did not understand before, had now smoothened out.

Although the difference between him and his third apprentice brother was still huge, an expert level in Bajiquan had given him an equivalent of 7 years of training and knowledge.

However, it was not enough!

Wei Xiao Bei looked at his remaining evolution points. When Bajiquan leveled up, it consumed 200 evolution points, leaving him with 1103 points.

Previously, when he increased its level from beginner to intermediate, it costed him 50 evolution points, and from intermediate to advanced cost him 100 points.

From this observation, he guessed that the consumption for each level was twice the previous level.

In that case, he needed 400 evolution points to once again level Bajiquan.

Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate anymore. He stood in place and closed his eyes, concentrating on Bajiquan in his status panel.

His evolution points quickly decreased like a continuously falling sand in an hourglass. His Bajiquan had shown changes once again.

Bajiquan (Expert) – Bajiquan (Master)

Master!

The first moment Bajiquan leveled up, he quickly practiced his routine once more.

This time it was not only just smoother than before.

Wei Xiao Bei could clearly feel the incredibly changes in his Bajiquan.

For a while, he had forgotten to check his evolution points, and stood in his original spot with a stupid expression, enjoying the aftertaste of his Bajiquan’s changes.

After a long time, his second apprentice brother, Liu Jian Cheng, came into the inner practice hall to get water. He immediately called out to Wei Xiao Bei, who was still standing there like an idiot, returning him back to his senses.

Liu Jian Cheng teased him and then went back out. Only then did Wei Xiao Bei take a look at his status panel again.

He did not need to increase his Bajiquan any further at the moment.

Right now, Wei Xiao Bei had a bit of an epiphany. He was indeed stronger after levelling up the skill, but he still felt that something was lacking, that just levelling it up was not enough.

What he needed was actual battle experience. Bajiquan was after all a Guo Shu, a real technique used to kill people!

When he thought of his master’s words, he wanted to quickly enter The Dust World, but suppressed his desire after looking at his status panel.

Right now, he had 803 evolution points left. In other words, leveling up from expert to master used up 300 points. It was less than Wei Xiao Bei’s estimate by 100 points, so it was a good thing.

Next, he prepared to place points into his sub-attributes, but felt that it was such a headache deciding which sub-attribute to increase.

Strength, agility, vitality, intelligence, awareness, charm... Under these main attributes, there were a total of 19 sub attributes!

Looking at so many sub-attributes almost made him dizzy.

He first ignored the five sub-attributes under charm.

According to the description of the charm attribute in the status panel, the charm attribute did not mean how pretty you were, but actually meant the ability to influence others.

This was the reason why it had courage, persuasiveness, character, leadership, and appearance as the five sub-attributes.

Appearance naturally meant having a good looking face, but it did not mean that the person had a high amount of charm. If the person’s courage, persuasiveness, character, and leadership were low, it would mean that their charm was also low.

A good example of someone with a high level of charm would be the French Emperor Napoleon. According to legend, when Napoleon escaped from the Island of Elba, the Bourbon Dynasty dispatched soldiers to apprehend the defeated emperor.

When the emperor met the soldiers, he waved his hand and said, “I have returned!”

Immediately, those soldiers who came to apprehend him cheered, “Welcome back Your Majesty!”

The soldiers and the masses strived to follow and support the emperor’s procession. When he entered Paris, an army of 140,000 people and a volunteer army of 200,000 people followed him.

With that said, it was clear that the charm attribute was an extremely useful attribute!

However, Wei Xiao Bei currently did not have any plans on becoming a politician or an actor. He also did not count on the charm attribute to capture the monsters in The Dust World.

Moreover, he had planned to return to Lake Cui to catch fish. After all, the Fiendish Man Fish could increase his character and appearance sub-attributes.

Because of the above reason, he had also placed aside the intelligence and awareness attribute that were more needed by detectives and police.

He also felt that he currently did not need to increase his strength.

Now, he had to choose between agility and vitality. In the end, he chose vitality and the health sub-attribute.

There was no need to mention the benefits of the health attribute. A high vitality meant that whatever injuries he received in The Dust World, it would not affect his fighting poewr that much.

Wei Xiao Bei currently cared about this point the most.

Soon, his evolution points continued to decrease, as the health attribute increase.

It took half a minute before 800 evolution points cleanly disappeared.

He looked at his status panel once again.
