Chapter 96 – Catching a Housefly

Wei Xiao Bei’s evolution points quickly decreased and his hand-eye coordination increased.

9.44, 9.45, 9.46, 9.47……

Wei Xiao Bei felt something warm flow into his eyes. It was slightly painful, but he knew that these were the effects of putting in his evolution points. As such, his attention did not go anywhere.

When his hand-eye coordination reached 12 points, only 334 evolution points remained. Wei Xiao Bei stopped putting in evolution points, opened his eyes and stood up. He looked around his room, then suddenly, he extended his right hand and pinched. A housefly that had just landed on his bedside was quickly grasped between Wei Xiao Bei’s fingers.

The poor housefly was then squeezed to death.

However, Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help become happy knowing that placing his points into hand-eye coordination had brought him this kind of benefit.

When he was in the army, he liked to hide behind the shelter and read light novels with a flashlight. As a result, he became a bit short sighted with a bit of astigmatism.

If he were to give an estimate, he would say that it was at least have a grade of 200.

However, he was still able to see things, so he did not get a pair.

However, as soon as his hand-eye coordination reached 12 points, his myopia disappeared. His vision had even became sharper than before. Even when the lighting inside the room was not good, he was still able clearly identify the hairs on the housefly.

Moreover, his eye movement, hand movement, and the cooperation between them became extremely precise. If it hadn’t, he would not have been able to simply catch the housefly.

The takeoff speed of the housefly was fast. As soon as he had extended his hand, the house fly took off. If he had not clearly seen the direction of where the housefly had taken off, catching the housefly would have only been a dream.

After this experience, Wei Xiao Bei now, clearly understood that every sub-attribute truly had their benefits.

Next, Wei Xiao Bei increased his flexibility, reflex, and balance. Raising them all up to 12 points, costing him a total of 304 evolution points and leaving him with 30 evolution points. He did not bother using the final 30 points as it would not have created any huge changes, deciding to save them instead.

Because these sub-attributes increased to 12 points, his agility also increased to 12 points.

Wei Xiao Bei moved his arms and legs to feel the changes in his body. He now had a better grasp on his own strength, but it was a pity he was not able to test it out because he was inside the room.

He removed his tattered clothes and threw them on the bed, changing into a sleeveless shirt and a pair of shorts before he left.

It was already 8:00 in the evening. When he left the room, he noticed that all the doors along the corridor were closed. The sounds from the thin walls of the rooms could all be heard.

There were sounds of fake fighting from TV shows, people playing games, and even sounds of flirting.

Wei Xiao Bei laughed as he walked to the courtyard. If at that moment, he was a 10 year old, he would have probably knocked on all their doors to prank them, but now that stage was only a fleeting memory.

In reality, when he approached the gate, he had an impulse to just jump over the wall.

Since he had increased his agility attribute, he was confident that it would have been easy.

However, it was already too late at night. If he truly did this, people who saw him in the streets would think he was a thief.

After leaving the courtyard, Wei Xiao Bei ran east.

As it was already 8:00 in the evening, the amount of cars passing by the apartment street had decreased. On the other hand, the amount of people doing night runs had increased thanks to Cui Hu City becoming a major city. As a result, no one would look at Wei Xiao Bei and think there was anything strange.

A turn at the end of the apartment street lied a residential district. The living conditions at this place was a lot better than the living conditions in the apartment street. This was also the place where people who had achieved a small amount of success in their lives made their homes.

Further ahead was a farmer’s market and Cui Lan Park.

Inside The Dust World, the residential district, farmer’s market, and Cui Lan Park did not exist.

At the very least, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet seen any signs of them existing.

Cui Lan Park was a public park.

Since it was free to enter, there were naturally no ferris wheels, rocket bungees, or anything in that category. The only thing this place provided was a place to train, clean air, and greenery all around.

Wei Xiao Bei had been here on a walk in the past, so he was quite familiar with the place.

8:00 in the evening was also the golden time when most of the nearby residents would come out to exercise.

Entering the place and going forward, you could already see the old and young. Some of them were playing chess, some were jogging, some were even training martial arts, sword arts, and other practices.

After going a full round of the park, Wei Xiao Bei came to a stop near the rock garden, where there were fewer people.

Wei Xiao Bei took a huge stride and charged towards one of the rocks. When he was reached to about 5-6 meters away, he suddenly increased his speed and leapt on the rock. After taking three steps, he somersaulted to another rock 3 meters away.
