Chapter 117 – Lots of Evolution Points

If Wei Xiao Bei’s vitality had not been strong enough, he would probably have passed out in just 10 minutes.

His body quickly dried up, though, it was on a molecular level. A normal person would not have been able to endure this kind of change.

At this time, Wei Xiao Bei finally understood that anything inside The Dust World, whether it was treasures or materials, they all carried their own dangers.

Finally, the process of drying reached his brain. Even if Wei Xiao Bei’s will was greater than before, he could not help but stop thinking as he blacked out. In reality, all this time he had already lost his vision from the drying process.

He first became dizzy and then finally lost consciousness. He could not feel the things outside nor could he feel the changes inside his body.

After who knows how long, Wei Xiao Bei eventually woke up.

When he woke up, he felt as if he was a traveller that had been lost in the desert for months. His body was extremely dehydrated with every organ in his body sending him warning signals. Only his skin was in a better situation as it continuously absorbed the moisture in the air.

However, the moisture in the air had not been much. It was simply not enough to satisfy the dehydration of his entire body.

Wei Xiao Bei exerted a lot of effort to just open his eyes. He was surprised at how fuzzy his vision was. Anything he looked at seemed to give the impression that his eyes had been covered by a gauze.

Even in this situation, Wei Xiao Bei was able to perceive with difficulty that he had returned to reality. At the very least, the poster of Zhang Liang Ying was not tattered anymore.

Because of extreme dehydration, Wei Xiao Bei had a hard time controlling his body. He felt that if he lost consciousness now, he would never wake up again.

With great effort, Wei Xiao Bei finally got up from the bed. After getting off the bed, his body swayed as he charged towards the bathroom.

He immediately turned the knob on the shower.

Following the sound of water moving through the pipes, warm water flowed out like a waterfall onto his head.

So pleasant!

Even if he did not open his eyes, Wei Xiao Bei could feel that as the water came into contact with his skin, his skin would greedily absorb it.

His body slowly absorbed the water, alleviating its dryness The feeling was so intense, Wei Xiao Bei thought that this was surely the most pleasurable thing in the world.

However, it was not enough. Wei Xiao Bei moved the nozzle close to his mouth and excitedly swallowed the water until his stomach was full of it.

After stuffing his stomach full of water, the moisture rapidly spread from inside out throughout his body as the water passed through his intestines. At the same time, his skin was absorbing water, spreading the water from outside in. With this kind of efficiency, he quickly obtained victory.

Under the help of the water, the cells in his body began to resuscitate like a tree when spring arrived.

Wei Xiao Bei had finally suppressed the dryness in his body. His eyes had also regained clarity, and his vision recovered.

However, this was not the end. As he stood under the shower, he could feel that his skin was still absorbing moisture, but he did not know where it was being absorbed to.

Since his skin was still absorbing water, he did not leave yet. He once again closed his eyes and looked at his status panel.

His trip to The Dust World this time was filled with countless danger, and he had even almost lost this lie. However, the bigger the investment, the bigger the gains.

Right now, his status panel displayed a total of 1631 evolution points.

This was the highest amount of evolution points he had ever earned in a single trip to The Dust World

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei had used this chance to once again confirm that he would return to the place where he entered The Dust World when his time inside was up.

However, what made him happy was that after bathing in the Yong’s Blood, he had gained two special skills.

Dryness Endurance, greatly increase the body’s endurance against dryness. (This skill formed after Wei Xiao Bei bathed in the Yong’s Blood. Every time the body bathes in Yong’s Blood, the effect of this skill will increase a bit)

Moisture Absorption, allows the user to use the skin and other body parts to absorb moisture in the air, aiding Dryness Endurance. (This skill formed after Wei Xiao Bei bathed in the Yong’s Blood. Every time the body bathes in Yong’s Blood, the effect of this skill will increase a bit)

Although these two special skills were not as mighty as releasing electricity, it would increase the amount of time Wei Xiao Bei could continue fighting by a few folds.

It must be known that the amount of time that Wei Xiao Bei stayed in The Dust World had now exceeded 5 hours. In other words, it would still increase in the future.

The amount of drinkable water in The Dust World was almost non-existent. Wei Xiao Bei still could not live without water yet and because of this, the special skill was truly a great help!

This was much more valuable than the 450 evolution points.

Moreover, the moisture absorption skill was also not bad as it increased the length of dryness endurance.

Moreover, these two skills could still be upgraded in the future.

Everytime he bathed in the Yong’s Blood, these two skills would improve a little.

If his moisture absorption increased to a certain level, he might just be able to absorb all the water in a certain radius. If this were to happen, Wei Xiao Bei would be a drought creator.

Although Wei Xiao Bei did not count on this skill to drain a person of all their moisture, just creating a drought would be a lot already.

If you thought about it, this ability might even allow him to remove all the water in Lake Cui, allowing him to largely decrease the powers of the monsters hidden inside.

After all, even monsters in The Dust World required certain environments to live in.

Otherwise, those Fiendish Man Fishes would already be jumping on dry land.

In short, Wei Xiao Bei was extremely satisfied with these two abilities.

Next, he thought about how to use his evolution points.

If he did not use his 1631 evolution points, it would turn into a huge waste.

Only when these hard-earned evolution points were used would he be able to guarantee his safety inside The Dust World.

This time, Wei Xiao Bei did not hesitate. He concentrated on his agility’s sub-attributes.

The sub-attributes under agility were too important. His recent trip to The Dust World had allowed him to fully acknowledge this.

Let alone other points, just the ability to escape against a fast monster was already an absolute advantage.

Thinking about it, if his agility had only been at 9 points when he had entered The Dust World this time, his encounter with a Giant Black Scorpion would be enough to drive him to drown in liquor.

He placed 200 points in every sub-attribute under his agility.

Seeing his evolution points decrease by 800 points, he did not ache over it, but only regretted how his evolution points were not enough.

If it was possible, Wei Xiao Bei hoped to make all the sub-attributes reach 20 points.

After this, his agility increased to 15 points. Wei Xiao Bei immediately felt warmth spread all throughout his body. Wherever the warmth flowed, the muscles became more flexible, and his body became more graceful

15 points in agility should now be enough to support his 17.5 point strength.

At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei felt that his body was so graceful that he could run around on the ceiling.

His eyes became even clearer and his hands became more nimble. Wei Xiao Bei believed that if a housefly flew by in front of him, even without it stopping, he could easily catch it between his two fingers.

This was the benefit of raising his agility and its sub-attributes to 15 points.

After spending 800 evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei still had 831 evolution points left.

This time, Wei Xiao Bei needed to ponder over how to use them.

After probing his new special skills, he was surprised to find out that he could not put evolution points in them.

He did not need to put any points in release electricity for now. If he wanted to allow his electricity break through the moist air, he needed to raise it to 1000 volts.

Increasing it to 1000 volts would require more than 1800 evolution points. For Wei Xiao Bei, this was too much of a commitment. The profit to loss ratio was too bad.

He felt that 100 volts and 62 milliamperes was enough for now.

After all, this special skill was much more useful in reality than in The Dust World.

As for his Bajiquan, he had just increased it. He still needed a bit more time to adapt to it, train his Qi, and open his meridians.

Naturally, if he directly placed the evolution points into his Bajiquan now, it would indeed level faster, but the amount that he would need to put in was too uncertain. If he placed 800 points in and there were no results, it would be a waste.

After all, placing in evolution points would only increase his realm of understanding. Training his Qi would require him to take it step by step.

He temporarily also placed the charm attribute to the side for now.

After being in contact with his status panel for so long, he knew that charm was not just purely the so-called ‘attractiveness index’.

It was, after all, formed by the sub-attributes courage, persuasiveness, charm, leadership, and appearance.

This so-called attractiveness index was in reality only about the appearance.

Charm was the style of execution, an imposing manner of decisiveness. Persuasiveness was a person’s eloquence. Character was a person’s temperament. Leadership was a person’s ability to lead.

If Wei Xiao Bei was in the era of the Hegemonic Struggle, then he would have placed his evolution points into his charm attribute first.
