Chapter 483: Chapter 483 - Skill: Pan An"s Beauty
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
While the others were doing their training, Wei Xiao Bei was strolling about in the middle of a forest of metal pipes. As he moved, the light bulbs connected to the top of the pipes constantly flickered with light.
This was the iron pipe forest that Wei Xiao Bei had specially designed to train his [Electromagnetic Field]. As he moved between the iron pipes, the electromagnetic field would cut through the metal and create electric currents. These currents would light up the bulb and even activate the electronic heater of the restrooms.
In doing so, Wei Xiao Bei could better train his [Electromagnetic Field] skill.
The only problem with doing so was the intense consumption of electricity. It caused Wei Xiao Bei to become hungry.
Of course, in his current situation, he had no reason to worry about food at all.
In contrast, Zhao Guang"s training was the most ordinary. He held a large spear in his hand and was slowly practicing, so slowly that it looked as if he was practicing Taichi instead.
The five gangsters felt like their world had been turned upside down when they saw this.
Of course, the one who attracted most of their attention had to be Andre.
How powerful was he? That stone lock was the size of a human head. It had to be over two hundred and fifty kilograms in weight!
This foreigner could easily lift it and even do squats with it.
However, the five of them couldn"t be shocked for long. Wei Xiao Bei walked over when he saw that Zhu Xin Yi had gathered the gangsters.
"Do you remember the things I taught you last night?"
These gangsters weren"t exactly bad people. They were just youngsters that had been influenced by delinquent and gangster movies with a streak of playfulness that led them to where they currently are.
They could be entirely new people if they were properly trained and disciplined.
Wei Xiao Bei only taught them some rough fundamentals of the martial arts and was far less detailed and attentive than when he taught Huang Kun and Xin Yi. What came next would have to depend on their talent.
If they had talent, Wei Xiao Bei would teach them more carefully. If they didn"t, he would just treat it as a bit of social service. Correct their behavior and prevent them from doing evil and criminal things in the future which might lead to them walking up the gallows.
That said, the gangsters did become very interested in practicing martial arts after seeing so many unbelievable things in the training field.
They hurriedly nodded when they heard Wei Xiao Bei"s question.
Wei Xiao Bei didn"t quite believe them. Though the things he taught last night were pretty superficial, ordinary students would require plenty of practice and several days to remember it all.
However, when Wei Xiao Bei had them practice it, he was surprised.
These gangsters, no, he should call them youngsters, these youngsters that were a few months younger than Huang Kun had decent talent in martial arts. Though they could not compare to Huang Kun and Zhu Xin Yi, they were much better than the students of the dojo in the past.
"Mm, not bad. Your eldest apprentice sister will be in charge of teaching you today."
Wei Xiao Bei was pretty busy. Naturally, he couldn"t always be teaching these young men. As such, he called for Xin Yi to help.
Zhu Xin Yi probably had the most martial talent of them all. Even without Wei Xiao Bei"s cheat-like status panel, her mastery of Bajiquan had reached the peak of the Expert level. It seemed like she was about to breakthrough Expert and reach Master level.
She had already broken through to negative jing and was firmly stabilized at the intermediate level of negative jing. In all honesty, without his status panel, Wei Xiao Bei would not even have one-third of Xin Yi"s martial talent.
Zhu Xin Yi nodded at her master"s words and took the five teenagers to a side of the training field.
The teenagers couldn"t help but be overjoyed to see the pretty apprentice sister being the one to teach them. They had completely forgotten the horrifying scene from earlier.
Perhaps they had yet to a.s.sociate the Zombie Dog with this pretty apprentice sister.
In the next few days of basic training, the teenagers finally got a taste for the actual sparring that their apprentice sister talked about.
Five Green Dwarfs holding knives suddenly appeared and charged wildly toward them.
From that day onwards, the teenagers were plunged into h.e.l.l-like training. Xin Yi, on the other hand, couldn"t be feeling any happier.
Perhaps it reminded her of when Wei Xiao Bei had her do her h.e.l.lish training.
Setting aside the torturous training of the youngsters, Wei Xiao Bei left the dojo and drove his SUV to Feng Tou Mountain.
Some things were not as easily dealt with in the dojo. Though outsiders couldn"t see what was happening in the dojo once he shut the doors, Wei Xiao Bei was worried that a slight mistake might destroy the dojo.
As such, it was better to find an unpopulated place with n.o.body around.
Feng Tou Mountain in the winter was undoubtedly the best place for what he was about to do.
He parked the SUV in the parking lot several kilometers away from the feet of the mountain. He then quickly arrived at the valley behind the mountain.
Wei Xiao Bei lay down on the huge rock by the pool there, as if enjoying the rare warmth of the sunlight in winter. In truth, he was checking his own status panel.
He had obtained a bountiful harvest on his last trip into the World Tree Dust World. Disregarding the World Tree Sap, just the evolution points and the thirty-four Fountain Fragments he had obtained was an unimaginable bounty.
23,402 evolution points.
This was probably the most evolution points Wei Xiao Bei had ever acc.u.mulated since he entered the Dust World.
He focused his attention on [Bajiquan] to give it a try. The skill at the peak of Unfathomable still couldn"t be improved. It was the same for [Electrical Work].
Since that was the case, Wei Xiao Bei turned his attention away and activated [Deductive Reasoning], [Bold and Decisive], [Early Warning] and a few other skills to a.n.a.lyze himself.
After twenty or so minutes, Wei Xiao Bei finally deactivated these abilities and focused his attention on character.
As his attention was focused, the evolution points started to be consumed as his character sub-attribute started to rise.
16.49, 16.50, 16.51, 16.52…
As time pa.s.sed, his character quickly reached 20 points.
After investing 352 evolution points, his Character finally reached 20 points and he obtained a new ability.
Air of Brilliance: There is a chance this skill can be obtained by increasing character to 20 points. This skill allows the host to naturally obtain some degree of goodwill from creatures of the opposite s.e.x and reduce their hostility. However, there is a chance of increasing hostility from creatures of the same s.e.x. The effect of this skill is related to the main Charm attribute and its extension skills.
Hmm?
Compared to the other skills he had obtained through increasing his sub-attributes, this new [Air of Brilliance] was undoubtedly more unique.
It could naturally obtain goodwill from creatures of the opposite s.e.x, but it could also cause creatures of the same s.e.x to develop hostility.
The image of a handsome pretty boy being stared down in a hostile manner by a bunch of brawny men immediately appeared in Wei Xiao Bei"s mind.
It made sense if he thought about it. Be they male or female, someone who was exceedingly handsome tended to attract envy and jealousy from people of the same s.e.x.
That said, the fact that [Air of Brilliance] would attract the hostility of same-s.e.x creatures was almost hilarious.
This skill was a pa.s.sive skill, after all. This meant that all male creatures that Wei Xiao Bei met in the future, be they men, bull, horse, or chicken, might all be slightly hostile towards him. It was just a difference in how hostile they were.
In Wei Xiao Bei"s eyes, this skill might have been pretty useful back before he was at 3-Star. Now, it was a bit useless.
That said, if he did use this skill properly, he might be able to obtain some rare opportunities he might never have encountered.
Wei Xiao Bei didn"t want to waste too much time on this skill. After some thought, he s.h.i.+fted his attention away and focused on the sub-attribute of Leaders.h.i.+p.
He had acc.u.mulated quite a lot of evolution points this time. He was prepared to do a comprehensive improvement of all his attributes that were lagging. Of course, this was also a decision he made after using all his judgment and a.n.a.lysis skills.
Wei Xiao Bei had a feeling that once his sub-attributes were all increased, there would be a surprise waiting for him.
Of course, even Wei Xiao Bei had no clear idea of what the surprise would be. He could only estimate if it was going to be a good or bad outcome.
As his attention was focused, Leaders.h.i.+p started increasing.
After consuming 264 evolution points, Leaders.h.i.+p reached 20 points and he obtained a new skill- [Setting Example].
Setting Example: There is a chance this skill can be obtained by increasing Leaders.h.i.+p to 20 points. When the host is fighting, working or attending to other matters, the attributes of subordinate creatures and allies will be enhanced. The effect of this skill is related to the host"s total attributes.
This [Setting Example] appeared to be much stronger than the [Air of Brilliance]. It was similar to an aura ability.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei focused his attention on the last sub-attribute that had yet to reach 20 points.
Appearance!
Just like what it seemed to mean, the appearance sub-attribute was how good you looked on the outside.
Your appearance was decided entirely on this sub-attribute.
Humans with higher appearance would be more handsome and pretty. If other creatures had a very high appearance, then they would be very pretty in the eyes of humans.
A very cute creature would probably have high character rather than appearance.
After consuming 342 evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei"s Appearance increased to 20 points.
Pan An"s Beauty: There is a chance this skill can be obtained by increasing Appearance to 20 points. The host will possess incredible attractiveness to the other s.e.x of the same race. Note: This skill is a pa.s.sive skill and has a chance of triggering [Thrown Fruit Fills Carriage]. (TL: Pan An is a historical figure, a man of such beauty that even old women tossed fruits into his carriage as gifts until the carriage itself was full.)
Wei Xiao Bei couldn"t help but laugh bitterly when he saw the description for [Pan An"s Beauty]. It would be good if he had obtained this ability before he entered the Dust World. It would make him popular with women and he wouldn"t need to worry about finding a wife.
