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 .
