Chapter 78 - Intelligence Increase
At this time, Wei Xiao Bei felt that his mind became very clear. Now, he felt like he could make clear inferences on things that he had never paid attention to before.
9 points in learning and 10 points in reasoning gave him a total of 9.5 points in intelligence!
9.5 points was not a small amount.
Although the average intelligence of the adult male population was 10 points, this was an average based on the entire population of earth. It did not mean that an adult male would necessarily have 10 points of intelligence.
That was just a common misconception.
In simpler terms, an outstanding university science department graduate would have intelligence of 9 points. A normal university graduate would have around 6 to 8 points.
After removing most of the geniuses and mentally disabled, a mediocre adult male should have around 7 points of intelligence.
A 9.5 in intelligence was around the level of a specialized accountant with more than three years of experience.
Naturally, this also, was not the most accurate comparison.
However, it was enough for Wei Xiao Bei to use.
I have 172 evolution points left. What should I do with them?
Because of the increase in his intelligence, Wei Xiao Bei was able to develop a basic idea on where to place them.
As a result, he did not hesitate and placed the points into balance.
His balance was only 8.36 points and it was the lowest out of his agility attribute.
Balance was not a simple attribute. He already noticed that with his height and size, his body would sway whenever he runs. This had lead to a decrease in his speed and even weakened his own martial power.
If his balance was bad, he should not even think about attacking an enemy.
His evolution points quickly decreased to 8 points, which in turn increased his balance to 10 points.
Wei Xiao Bei was extremely satisfied with how he used his evolution points.
He did not only eliminate his lack of intelligence, he had also slightly made up for the weakness that appeared with his increase in muscle density.
As a result, many changes happened to his status panel.

Other than his charm attribute, most of his attributes had exceeded a normal man"s standard. His strength and vitality had even surpa.s.sed them by a large distance.
"Gulp. Here"s the payment boss."
Wei Xiao Bei gulped down the last mouthful which left him full and satisfied. He took out the money from his wallet and paid up. Then he stood up and walked to a distant clothing store.
It was easy to imagine that there were no famous brands close to the apartment street.
He chose a clothing store that was currently holding a sale.
Now that it was autumn, the weather was not blistering hot, so people from the clothing industry knew that there was already no market for summer clothes.
With Wei Xiao Bei"s current physique, he could not wear his past clothes, pants, or even shoes anymore.
He tried on the store"s largest size t-s.h.i.+rt. Since it was comfortable and cheap, 20 yuan for a s.h.i.+rt and 25 yuan for a pair of shorts, he bought 3 sets and paid 135 yuan.
After leaving the store,he turned right and walked 10 steps, reaching a store that specializes in shoes. The shoes were 100 yuan a pair. Wei Xiao Bei bought two pairs, one, size 43 and another, size 44. This was because he was afraid that when his st.u.r.diness increased in the future, he might need a new pair.
This should be good enough. Today"s purchases should be enough to cover the bare minimum.
Wei Xiao Bei wore the imitation Jordan t-s.h.i.+rt he had just bought and got on the bus.
His money was once again in a dire situation.
He extended his hands and grabbed onto the rings, as he sent himself into a daze while thinking about the many things that happened. He planned to go speak to his master after, about fighting once more in an underground arena.
His previous earnings in the underground fighting arena was like a sand hill on the beach. With just the blow of a wave, they would immediately disappear.
Moreover, he had not even had the chance to spend the money on luxury items.
The more he thought about this, the more pa.s.sionate he became.
"Why are you like this?" Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from the front of the bus.
A hoodlum-like male voice sounded after, "What do you mean why am I like this? Let me tell you this little missy, do not falsely accuse a good person! Tell me! If you can"t even say anything, I will bring you to the local police station! I am someone with status!"
The voice sounded very familiar. Wei Xiao Bei immediately dispersed his thoughts and came back to reality.
It was the male voice that was familiar and not the female one.
"You, you hoodlum! You touched my b.u.t.t!" Following the girl"s accusation, the bus was filled with whispers, believing that it was indeed the man who was in the wrong.
However, society was too detached; most of the spectators would only whisper to each other, but no one would stand out to help catch the molester.
The molester seemed to be worried at first, but after seeing that no one came out to uphold justice, his guts became bigger.
Soon, the sounds from the front of the bus were filled with curses and slander, and even the laughing sound of the molester.
f.u.c.k!
Wei Xiao Bei, whose thoughts were interrupted by the man, became angry. He released his grip on the rings and began to advance towards the commotion.
