Chapter 118 - Visual Animals
However, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet seen how this attribute would be useful in the mysterious Dust World. As a result, he did not put it as a high priority.
As for the intelligence attribute, Wei Xiao Bei just directly increased his learning to 10 points, using up 92 evolution points and increasing his intelligence to 10.04 points.
Next, Wei Xiao Bei used 265 evolution points to increase his judgement sub-attribute to 11 points.
The best way to describe judgement was an attribute that made use of one"s understanding and knowledge to make an a.n.a.lysis and come to a judgement.
For example, if a person"s judgement and reasoning was very high, then that person would be much more suited towards detective work or criminal police work. If a person"s intuition and perception were also high, then the person could already be a famous detective like Conan.
Frankly speaking, these three sub-attributes complemented the reasoning sub-attribute under intelligence.
As for the perception attribute under awareness, it referred to a person"s ability to perceive stimulus and information from the world. A person with a high perception would have an ability very close to clairvoyance and super hearing. The movement of the gra.s.s and the wind would not be able to escape this person"s attention at all.
As for intuition, it was a very mysterious attribute. A person with high intuition could foresee incoming danger. They could even judge whether a person they had just met was a threat to them in just a single glance.
By increasing these sub-attributes, Wei Xiao Bei would be able to tell the difference in the strength between him and an opponent when encountering danger. It could even tell him whether he should run away, how he should run away, and where he should run away to. He could even possibly escape before the danger came or even nip it in the bud if possible.
As a result, Wei Xiao Bei increased his perception and intuition to 11 points, using up 422 evolution points.
Finally, he placed the remaining 56 evolution points into willpower, increasing it to 12.95 points.
Willpower was a good sub-attribute. Although it was not helpful in direct battle, its use was hard to predict when fighting strong enemies.
In simpler terms, if a normal person encountered a wolf, their legs would weaken making them lose their ability to defend, and end up being eaten by the wolf.
A person with a high will power, on the other hand, would not go weak in the legs. They would even dare to fight off against the wolf and survive in the end.
This was one of the many uses of willpower. It allowed a person to maintain or even increase their battle power when fighting enemies that were several levels stronger than them.
After extravagantly using up all his evolution points, Wei Xiao Bei"s status panel had huge changes.

After combing through his status panel, Wei Xiao Bei slowly opened his eyes. At this time, his skin had already stopped absorbing moisture. His body"s liquid reserves were now full of abundance.
Wei Xiao Bei was able to roughly calculate that the amount of water that he had absorbed minus the amount absorbed by his cells was more than twice his body weight. However, he did not feel the weight at all.
It seems that the dryness endurance special skill is really special.
After turning off the shower, Wei Xiao Bei did not even use a towel to wipe off. He only lightly stimulated his skin and the water was completely absorbed, making his skin perfectly clean and dry.
He lightly smiled knowing that this skill was truly not bad. The only troublesome thing was that after he absorbed the water, he felt his insides swell somewhat, so Wei Xiao Bei had to release the extra moisture.
Wei Xiao Bei lightly sighed at the fact that the dagger and weapons did not follow him back to reality.
If those things had truly been brought back, Wei Xiao Bei had to think of how to hide them and it would just increase his troubles for no reason.
After returning to the bedside. Wei Xiao Bei was slightly hungry. He changed into a white s.h.i.+rt and black trousers. If it was not because of his body size, he did not look out of the ordinary.
Being low-key was the way of the king. Wei Xiao Bei longed for people to not stare at him when he went out.
However, his wishes were fruitless. Just after he opened the door and walked out, he saw Zhang Tian Tian and Li Lan Xing sitting down on small stools and gossiping in an extremely intimate way.
Zhang Tian Tian"s name truly fit her. Her smile would make other people have a sense of sweetness. .h.i.t them, but it was not an annoying feeling.
Li Lan Xing on the other hand carried herself a litter higher. Just from the style of how she did things, if she was placed in ancient times, she would be Hua Mulan.
The sound of Wei Xiao Bei opening the door attracted the two people"s attention. When Li Lan Xing saw Wei Xiao Bei, her expression became complex, and she spoke something besides Zhang Tian Tian"s ears.
Although Wei Xiao Bei"s listening ability was higher thanks to increasing his perception, he could only hear a few words, but his intuition was telling him that her words definitely had something to do with him.
Following Li Lan Xing"s whispers, Zhang Tian Tian"s fair cheeks immediately reddened as she glared at Li Lan Xing.
In contrast to this, Li Lan Xing did not not exercise restraint, she even pulled Zhang Tian Tian up and shouted towards Wei Xiao Bei, “Xiao Bei, are you preparing to leave?”
Seeing Li Lan Xing, Wei Xiao Bei"s thoughts were a bit complicated. The hallucination of being together with Li Lan Xing was too real. Up till now, Wei Xiao Bei had not yet forgotten about it.
Also, Li Lan Xing"s boyfriend, Huang Da Jun, died inside the Dust World.
Although Huang Da Jun did not die in his hands, Wei Xiao Bei still intended to have him eventually killed. As a result, when he saw Li Lan Xing, he felt that it was slightly difficult to form words.
He felt a bit guilty, but more than that, he felt a strange feeling from within, as if he had been caught stealing something. He also felt a strange heat from his body as if he was about to have another hallucination again.
In short, Wei Xiao Bei blanked out on the spot until Li Lan Xing stood in front of him after pulling Zhang Tian Tian with her. Her face was full of smiles as she spoke, “Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei?” The fair fingers waving in front of him gave him a misconception. He slightly opened his mouth thinking about biting them.
Luckily, Zhang Tian Tian summoned her courage and her crisp voice rang out, “h.e.l.lo, Brother Xiao Bei. Thank you for helping me before.”
After saying this, the young maiden"s face blushed as Li Lan Xing teased her.
Only then did Wei Xiao Bei come to his senses. He stopped his impulses just in time. Naturally, even if Zhang Tian Tian did not interrupt, Wei Xiao Bei would still eventually snap himself out of it, albeit a little slower.
“That was just a trivial matter. Is something the matter?”
Wei Xiao Bei"s expression did not change. He asked with a smile as if this was a normal conversation with a neighbor.
“No, nothing. Are you going out?” Zhang Tian Tian asked.
“Yeah. I am going to my master"s place to do something,” After saying this, Wei Xiao Bei gestured with his hand and left, but he was able to feel the pa.s.sionate gazes from behind him.
After opening the gate, he walked out. Wei Xiao Bei bitterly smiled in his heart. How could he not know the things that were acc.u.mulating in Zhang Tian Tian"s gaze.
If it was before he entered The Dust World and he was still working at the Da Hao Real Estate, Wei Xiao Bei would have felt very happy.
As a man who had yet to marry nor talk about love, being able to obtain a beautiful girlfriend was much more joyous than earning a lot of money.
After all, men were visual animals. Mature men who had lots of experience in love would probably demand for kind, honest, or good-hearted women, but the rest would still look at the face when finding a girlfriend.
Moreover, although Wei Xiao Bei had come in contact with Zhang Tian Tian a few times, he instinctively knew that she was a good girl.
In this society that was filled with money, finding a good girl like her was very hard.
Wei Xiao Bei naturally knew that with his current strength, earning a lot of a money and standing out was not a problem.
However, he had a slight premonition that if he stopped going into The Dust World a huge disaster would strike. This was not from his intuition, but a feeling that appeared when he obtained the status panel.
Moreover, as he came and went into the Dust World, his life was constantly at the boundary of life and death. This simply prevented him from giving his partner proper happiness.
