Chapter 32: Chapter 32 - Split Personality

Chapter 32 - Split Personality

Wei Xiao Bei, meanwhile, did not know anything about Li Lan Xing’s unusual condition . He closed the door to his room and checked the hardtack in the pot .

It should be ready .

He turned off the fire, poured the thick paste made from hardtack into a large bowl, placing it on top of the coffee table . He stirred it, cooling it down with an electric fan, and touched it after ten minutes .

The temperature is just right .

However, Wei Xiao Bei did not immediately eat this tasteless hardtack congee . Rather he extended his hand and grabbed a copper wire on the kitchen bench .

When he grabbed the copper wire, bubbling sounds came out .

After five to six seconds, Wei Xiao Bei let go and pounced on the coffee table, scooped up the hardtack congee and poured it inside his mouth, chugging it .

“Ah,” Wei Xiao Bei sighed while eating the green colored congee . Satisfaction apparent on his face .

Of course, this wasn’t because Wei Xiao Bei had a split personality .

After releasing so much electricity, Wei Xiao Bei entered a state of extreme hunger . Only by eating food could he alleviate this kind of hunger which caused his brain to send a signal of happiness from being full .

However, the expired hardtack was truly tasteless, this was even amplified after eating Zhang Tian Tian’s sauteed meat .

This was the cause of Wei Xiao Bei’s contradictory appearance .

Soon, the congee made of six pieces of hardtacks had been cleanly eaten by him after releasing electricity two more times .

However, when he looked at the rest of the piled up expired food, he knew that today would be full of hardships .

“Wei Xiao Bei, are you there?

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

A banging sound on the door came after the deep voice .

This voice sounds familiar .

Wei Xiao Bei heard a familiar voice while he was busy trying to get rid of the expired food . When he opened the door, a fatty stood there while from time to time, wiping the sweat on his body .

This person was his landlord .

“Uncle Li, please come in and have a seat . ”

The landlord did not live in the apartment . His last name was Li, first name Chao Yang; currently more than 40 years old and jobless . There were four apartments in this street that belonged to his family and he  relied on the rent to live . He was a bit stingy and loved to take advantage of anything . However, Wei Xiao Bei did not come into contact with him all that much .

“Thanks but no thanks . I have come today to collect the rent . What is that smell?”

Li Chao Yang’s nose twitched as he doubtfully extended his head to take a look inside the room .

The smell of the room had become slightly bad after cooking five pots of hardtack .

Wei Xiao Bei awkwardly smiled, “Cooking food, but my skills are a little bad . ”

As he said this, Wei Xiao Bei took out the money and gave it to Li Chao Yang .

Luckily, Li Chao Yang did not care about other people as long as they did not burn down the room .

However, Li Chao Yang’s words before he left, made Wei Xiao Bei’s mood take a dive, “Oh right! Xiao Bei, the prices of goods are currently rising fast . Uncle Li also need to live, so starting next month, the rent will go up by a hundred yuan . ”

Wei Xiao Bei looked at Li Chao Yang’s leaving back, wishing that he could just kick that fat ass of his .

A hundred yuan?

The original rent was 600 yuan, including utility expenses . This amount was already not cheap . Adding another hundred next month would make it 700 yuan .

Does he still want others to live!?

However, even if the rent increased to 1000 yuan a month, Wei Xiao Bei, for the time being, would still choose to stay there .

I really need to think of a way to earn money .

If I really have no choice, I could probably borrow from master .

Wei Xiao Bei thought about his money problems, while swallowing down the thick hardtack congee .

When he had eaten through around two thirds of the expired food, his phone rung .

It was his second senior apprentice brother calling to ask why he still hadn’t gone to the dojo .

He quickly replied that he previously had something to do and that he would be there soon .

Wei Xiao Bei wiped the sweat off his forehead after hanging up . He looked at the time and saw that it was almost 3 o’clock .

No wonder  his second senior apprentice brother called him .

He looked at the pile of expired food and decided to give up finishing them in one go . He thought that he should at least keep a bit of food in his apartment in case of emergencies .

Let alone the fact that he had eaten ten pots of hardtack congee, just looking at the remaining bags of hardtack made him want to puke .

He quickly got on the bus after leaving the apartment and moved to thecorner, closed his eyes, and looked at his status panel .

Although releasing electricity increased the voltage, the growth rate of the electric current was much more lower . However, after releasing electrical energy for more than 50 times, the special skill had increased a lot .

Now, releasing electricity could allow him to release 34 volts, leaving just two more volts before he exceeded voltage safety levels . .

However, 34 volts could already generate pain on the people he touched .

The electric current on the other hand had increased to 9 . 5 milliamperes, but the safety limit was 10 milliamperes .

However, 8 milliamperes was enough to cause a spasm in every part of the human body .

In other words, Wei Xiao Bei currently only needed to release electricity to give others a serious electric shock .

The only troublesome thing was the upper limit of the voltage and electric current . The growth rate of the skill was getting lower, and maybe, it would even take longer to level it up in the near future .

Wei Xiao Bei thought about this for a while as he scanned the inside the bus randomly .

Eh?

Is that?

A skinny, vulgar business man wearing gold framed glasses was currently squeezed up against a girl’s back and shaking his butt from time to time . The girl was currently blushing hard, as she tried to move forward, attempting to evade the man .

Any man could guess what was happening when they looked at the situation .

This was, without a doubt, a real molester .

If it was twenty years ago, whoever did this in public would immediately become the target of scorn, to the point that they would be beaten up .

But now, as long as people, themselves, were not the target, they would not dare brave the dangers to stop this .

If it was Wei Xiao Bei before, he might at least try to stop the molester, but it would end there .

After all, society was too complex . Even if he did good things, it would lead to a bad end most of the time .

However, the current Wei Xiao Bei was different . He now had a strong body, great skills, and unshakeable courage .

He pushed aside the people, who were intentionally watching the scene, and placed his hand on the businessman’s shoulder .

It was a blistering hot summer . Even if the businessman was wearing a suit, it was impossible to block the electric current’s assault, after all, his T-shirt was was already soaked in sweat .
