The City of Terror

“Mister Wei, no need to be polite. You are my guest, please take a seat.”

Saying this, the buff man extended his hand and asked him to sit.

Wei Xiao Bei was startled as he could not resist the power of the other party’s hand.

“Are you Lord Shing Wong?”

Wei Xiao Bei could not help but ask.

“That’s right, this god is a Shing Wong.”

The buff man laughed. If his chest was exposed and his sleeves were rolled up, he would look very similar to the Black Whirlwind Li Kui.

“Mister Wei must have thought that I would be a white-bearded old man right?”

Shing Wong sat beside Wei Xiao Bei and took the tea that the maid had served and smiled.

The one Wei Xiao Bei thought was not only a white-bearded old man, but he also thought that the Shing Wong was a big-bellied long-bearded middle-aged man. He had truly never expected this.

Naturally, no matter what Wei Xiao Bei thought, he did not dare say it out loud, “I’ve let Lord Shing Wong seen my poor performance.”

When Wei Xiao Bei returns to the real world to check the records in the library, he would notice that the Shing Wong of the Bai Ta County was a butcher.

According to the records, when he was a child the Shing Wong was from an impoverished family and became a butcher when he was an adult. His skills were extraordinary. He killed countless animals and earned a small fortune. Moreover, his brain was quite fast as he used many different methods to make his household rich.

However, he had suddenly had a change of heart one day and set down his butcher knife, vowing not to kill anymore lives. Later a calamity had struck and he distributed his wealth to the people, saving many others and obtaining the title of a living Buddha. After his death, he had been conferred the title of the Bai Ta County’s Shing Wong by the Heavenly Court.

No matter what Wei Xiao Bei was thinking at the moment, this butcher was indeed Bai Ta County’s Shing Wong.

After this human and god chatted for a while, Wei Xiao Bei remembered his original purpose of coming and took out the white talisman, giving it to the Shing Wong.

The Shing Wong looked at the white talisman that Wei Xiao Bei was going to give, and then his expression became gloomy as he sighed. He extended his hand and tapped the talisman. In an instant, the talisman grew brighter and became a meteor that left the hall, disappearing into the skies. In just a few seconds it disappeared without a trace.

“Thank you for bringing that thing back little brother. This god is unable to properly return the favor, I can only give you some things.”

The Shing Wong became silent and instructed a maid to get something, giving it to Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei looked at it and saw a wooden plate. There were a few characters carved into it: Bai Ta County Shing Wong.

With the Shing Wong in front of him, Wei Xiao Bei did not dare use [Status Appraisal]. Afterward, they chatted a bit more before the Shing Wong left.

The Shing Wong did not urge him to stay and eat a meal, but when he was about to leave the Shing Wong Temple, the scholar had brought a few puppets and brought more than ten big hemp sacks with him.

When the scholar explained, Wei Xiao Bei understood that this was the present that the Shing Wong had given to him.

After thanking him, Wei Xiao Bei placed the hemp sacks into his storage bracelet and left the Shing Wong Temple.

This time, Wei Xiao Bei’s business with the Dust World was finished. He returned to the rented house and left the Dust World.

When he woke up, the first thing he did was use [Status Appraisal] at the wooden plate.

Name: Wooden Plate Blessed By Bai Ta County’s Shing Wong (Rare)

Description: This item was created after the Bai Ta County’s Shing Wong used one year to collect incense fire. As long as the user is within the confines of Bai Ta City, hanging this inside the house would change the atmosphere of the house and strengthen the bodies of people living inside. If an incense was burned to pay respects, everyone inside the house would be blessed with good fortune, longevity, and avoidance of disaster.

After seeing the wooden plate’s description, Wei Xiao Bei felt that it was not a bad object. However, it did not suit him at all.

Soon after, Wei Xiao Bei hung it on the wall and immediately felt the change in the house’s atmosphere. He felt that it had become more peaceful.

Naturally, if he truly wanted to activate the wooden plate’s full effect, he needed to burn an incense stick.

Feeling the effects of the wooden plate, Wei Xiao Bei once again put away the wooden plate. He already knew where he would put it.

Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei took out the hemp sacks from his storage bracelet. After opening them, the fragrant smell of rice wafted out.

The scent was extremely familiar. Wei Xiao Bei immediately understood that this was Spirit Rice.

When Wei Xiao Bei checked all the hemp sacks, he sighed as he thought that the quality of things from the Shing Wong Temple was too different.

In the hemp sacks, other than a large amount of Spirit Rice, there were also some crops, fruits, seasoning, and many others.

Compared to the things that Wei Xiao Bei collected from the Bai Ta Hills, the things that the Shing Wong had gifted him all carried a special spiritual influence. There were a lot of high-quality goods and there were even some rare quality goods. It was simply incomparable.

These things might not seem much, but for Wei Xiao Bei, they could be called priceless.

Only the Shing Wong Temple could provide so many ingredients. If it was the rest of the wilderness of the Dust World, even if there were ingredients like that, it would be incredibly rare.

After checking the ingredients that the Shing Wong sent to him, Wei Xiao Bei immediately focused on the internet. Every time he enters the Dust World, he feels that his knowledge was not enough.

In truth, if he wanted to get a scholarship, there would not be any problems for him no matter where he wanted to study.

In the next few days, Wei Xiao Bei spent his time learning biology.

The reason was simple. When adjusting the design for the foundational creatures, Wei Xiao Bei noticed some problems.

For example, due to size, the Digging Pig was not able to exert its full power to the limit when it charges.

On the other hand, the High-Temperature Bird also had a problem.

Although they respectively had the foundations of a Dang Kang and a Bi Fang, Wei Xiao Bei was lacking in biological knowledge, so these loopholes had appeared.

Because of this, Wei Xiao Bei needed to study more.

However, there were too many branches under biology that gave Wei Xiao Bei a headache.

Modern biology was not a simple topic. Because biology was quickly advancing, the number of branches increased a lot more. There were biomechanics, biochemistry, biophysics, and more than a hundred others.

Among them, just the topic of heredity was branched into more than twenty.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei’s learning energy should be placed in this direction while balancing it with other branches.

From his point of view, the Fledgling Life Altar could be considered as an advanced gene research device. As long as it obtains the flesh of other creatures, then it can be used to breed creatures. Moreover, genes could be altered.

Naturally, because the Fledgling Life Altar did not have enough power, there were some powerful creatures that it could not breed. Even if it had obtained their flesh, the bred creature could not reach the same level as the original.

On the other hand, once he learns biology and made a breakthrough in his research, he could use the Life Altar better. This was something Wei Xiao Bei had already pondered on.

Although the monsters of the Dust World could not be simply explained by science, as long as they were physical creatures, biology can be used.

After studying for two days, Wei Xiao Bei felt his headache.

With so much to study, every single branch’s knowledge and research depth was like an entire library. With Wei Xiao Bei’s 22.5 intelligence, it was getting a bit difficult.

With so much to study, Wei Xiao Bei felt as if time was not enough. This was especially true for deeper things.

In the end, Wei Xiao Bei could not help but focus on this status panel and decided to increase his learning attribute.

After all, Wei Xiao Bei had an ample supply of evolution points. Previously, he had cleaned up the Gargoyles giving him more than 10,000 evolution points. After using enhanced modulation on the Digging Pig, he had used up a few thousand evolution points. However, in the end, he had gotten rid of the demonic centaur, gaining 2000 evolution points, making his total evolution points equal to 11380 points.

Following the evolution points being quickly consumed, his learning quickly increased.

After using 3400 evolution points, his learning had increased from 23 to 40 in one go.

For every 20 points increase, he would gain a new ability. Following the rules of evolution, Wei Xiao Bei’s [Retentive Memory] had leveled up into [Ten Lines At A Glance].

Ten Lines At A Glance: This ability was leveled up from retentive memory. With retentive memory as the foundation, this ability greatly increases learning speed. This ability can only be obtained by evolving retentive memory.

It was a very powerful new ability. Perhaps it could be known as a strengthened [Retentive Memory].

After gaining this ability, Wei Xiao Bei did not feel his head hurt anymore from learning. His learning speed became even faster. He only needed to sweep everything with his eyes and everything could be remembered. After understanding half of it, he only needed to recall it and be able to grasp everything.

Just like that, Wei Xiao Bei had an easier time learning new things.

The only problem was that its screen was too small. The number of characters and pictures that he can see was very few.

Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei simply went out to purchase a new notebook. The only request he had was a bigger screen. The bigger the better.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei’s request had made the sales clerk dumbstruck.

The notebook was originally made to be small and easy to carry. It was better if the screen was smaller. At the very least, it would not be as big as a desktop computer that had more than 30-inch screens.

Moreover, even if there were 30 inch big notebooks, Bai Ta County couldn’t have such a product.
