nChapter 18 – Hunger

nAlthough it only seemed like a water jet, Wei Xiao Bei did not let down his guard. He quickly leaned his head sideways, but it still slightly touched his cheek.

nWei Xiao Bei immediately felt pain on his cheek, as if his cheek was burning.

nWithout any hesitation, he used all his strength to swing down the club again.

nThis powerful attack created a dent in the fish head leader’s skull, causing blood and brain juice to splatter everywhere.

nThis attack had used all of Wei Xiao Bei’s strength, and all that splattered out landed all over his body.

nLuckily, he had already been through a similar experience, so he did not vomit on the spot, nonetheless, he was still disgusted by it.

nThis attack, naturally, had left Wei Xiao Bei powerless, so he directly sat down on the ground, ignoring how dirty it was. He wanted to take this chance to rest his body.

n“Ss!”

nHe unconsciously touched his left cheek. There was a sharp pain despite his light touch, and blood had stained his hand.

nHe finally understood that the power behind the jet of water from the fish head leader was nothing to laugh at.

nNormally, water at high pressure could at most send a person flying, but the water jet sprayed by the fish head leader was like a knife of water.

nIf Wei Xiao Bei did not quickly decide to lean his head, then a hole would have probably appeared through it.

nHe would then lose the power to retaliate and instantly become a corpse.

nCompared to normal fish heads, this fish head leader had given him 40 evolution points.

nThis really reflected the fish head leader’s strength, after all, this kind of secret water jet attack would leave most opponents dead or disabled.

nWei Xiao Bei, after regaining his strength, could suddenly smell a fragrance in the air.

nThis smell… it seems familiar, but it’s also a little strange.

nWei Xiao Bei frowned. After taking in the fragrance for a few moments, he squatted down and used his knife to cut open the fish head. He dug around for a little before pulling out a solid blue meatball from the fish head leader’s throat.

nThe fragrance came out from this solid blue meatball!

nThis seemed to be very similar to the Thunder Worm Electric Ball, but instead, this one smelled more like water.

nWei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and concentrated on the status panel in his mind.

nSpecial Skill: Release Electricity (Maximum strength 8.5 volts. Maximum current 1.8 milliampere. This skill was formed after Wei Xiao Bei ate the Thunder Worm Electric Ball. Maintaining a constant output for a long period could allow this skill to level up. Using this while exercising would stimulate strength and slowly increase agility.)

nEvolution Points: 100

nItems on hand: Fishman Water Ball

nHis evolution point had reached 100 thanks to the fish head leader giving him 40 points.

nThe blue meatball in his hand was called the Fishman Water Ball in the Items on hand category.

nMoreover, the real name of a fish head was Fishman.

nWei Xiao Bei concentrated on the Fishman Water Ball, and an explanation popped up.

nFishman Water Ball: The source of an Elite Fishman’s strength. Elite Fishmen used this to shoot up to three sharp water jets per day. Not poisonous.

nThree sharp water jets!

nWei Xiao Bei recalled the previous situation, a lingering fear appeared in his heart.

nLuckily, I was able to deal with it decisively; otherwise, if that Elite Fishman sprayed two more jets of water, I would have most likely not been able to dodge them.

nNot poisonous?

nWei Xiao Bei ignored the body on the ground, returning back to his room and immediately swallowed the Fishman Water Ball.

nCompared to the disgusting flavour of the Thunder Worm Electric Ball, the Fishman Water Ball tasted like a flavourless ice cube. In a flash, it melted into an ice-cold liquid as if it had been thrown into a furnace, disappearing as he swallowed it.

nWei Xiao Bei lied down on the bed after swallowing the Fishman Water Ball with a feeling of anticipation.

nThe Elite Fishman’s ability to shoot out a jet of water was not bad. If he could obtain this special ability, then his future battles would be a lot more easier.

nAfter lying down for a while, his body still did not exhibit any change at all. The only thing that had changed was that his evolution points increased from 100 to 120 points.

nWei Xiao Bei sat up and sighed. Without a doubt, the Fishman Water Ball did not give him any special ability and only converted into 20 evolution points.

nThis meant that the Elite Fishman had given him a total of 60 evolution points, so all in all, it really was not that bad.

nWei Xiao Bei pondered for a bit. If he fought with a single Fishman, he would win 100% of the time, but the amount of energy he used would be a lot. If he met an Elite Fishman or a group of more than five Fishmen, he would definitely be in danger.

nWhich attribute to put the evolution points in was his final problem.

nIn the end, Wei Xiao Bei concentrated on his muscle attribute.

nHis muscle attribute immediately increased from 12 to 13 points.

nAfter using 100 evolution points, his muscle attribute increased by 1 point, making his strength 11.5 points.

nWei Xiao Bei could distinctly feel all his muscles contracting and spasming.

nWei Xiao Bei’s forehead was instantly covered in beads of sweat from the pain he was feeling. He curled his body into a ball and rolled around on the bed trying to distract himself from the pain.

nAfter 10 minutes, Wei Xiao Bei sat back up with his entire body drenched in sweat.

nHe felt incredibly weak after his muscles spasmed out of control. His muscles did not seem to expand that much compared to before, but he could feel that he was definitely stronger than before.

nThe result of increasing his muscle attribute was very clear! The amount of strength he was able to exert had become stronger.

nThis was a progressive growth, leaving Wei Xiao Bei with a bit of expectation for the next evolution point allocation.

nHunger did not only appear due to using his special skills, allocating evolution points resulted in the same.

nWei Xiao Bei immediately ate four pieces of hardtack and drank two bottles of mineral water. Only then was he able to supress his hunger.

nThere were still 20 evolution points left, but Wei Xiao Bei did not touch them and decided wait until he accumulated more.

nAfter resting a bit, Wei Xiao Bei once again went back behind the courtyard wall to stand guard.

nThe ones that returned this time were not only the first three that left, but all five of them!
