138: The martial arts skills arrived, and I felt a little melancholy.

Because during the day, the arc light from welding dazzled his eyes.

When Shen Bei went to bed at night, it felt as if a piece of sandpaper was stuck under his eyelids, making him uncomfortable.

Tears flowed uncontrollably.

He dripped some eye drops and placed a warm towel over his eyes, which barely provided some relief.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, he finally settled down.

The next day.

Shen Bei recovered, feeling refreshed and energetic. As soon as he got up, the settlement panel appeared as expected.

Shen Bei looked at the words appearing in the corner of his eye with extreme seriousness.

He knew that yesterday had been quite a struggle for him, and if there weren't some substantial rewards, it would truly be unacceptable.

['Yesterday's Settlement Panel Rewards are as follows:']

['Completed the job of distributing medicine flyers, rewarded with Money +200, Medicinal Effect Duration +20%']

Whoa!

Shen Bei glanced at it; yesterday's flyer distribution job had a basic salary of 50.

For every elder who took a flyer to the venue, whether they were conned into buying medicine or just went to collect eggs, there was an additional commission.

It was about 150 yuan.

However, the amount from the 'black eating black' scheme was ignored by the settlement panel.

A bit of a loss…

However, Shen Bei didn't care.

The main thing was that the rewarded Fifth Dimension Attribute was quite good.

As expected of a job involving selling medicine.

It actually rewarded an increase of 20% in Medicinal Effect Duration!

For consuming Medicinal Pills, this was undoubtedly icing on the cake.

Let's look at the next entry.

['Completed the steel structure auxiliary work, rewarded with Money +200, Strength +1, Physique +1. Anti-Strong Light +100%, Anti-Heat +20%.']

Shen Bei's gaze fell on the second reward, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Anti-Strong Light +100%?

Hiss!

Shen Bei couldn't help but gasp.

Is this Fifth Dimension too abnormal?

In other words, he could now look directly at the sun!

He would also not fear any strong light emitted by Martial Artists, nor would he be temporarily blinded!

It's important to know that in Martial Artist battles, especially for Martial Artists with higher spiritual attributes, many Martial Skills they Cultivate can unleash intense light.

Being able to blind an opponent's eyes at the start of a battle, in a fight where every second is filled with death, the consequences of being blinded are unimaginable!

“It was worth all the suffering; this flexible cost-effectiveness is truly impressive!”

“People always say 'I'll blind your dog eyes,' but it seems useless against me now.”

Shen Bei's excited mood showed in his eyes.

He was stronger by another point!

Now, counting it, among the Fifth Dimension Attributes, two attributes have reached 100% resistance:

One is 100% resistance to electric shock.

Fifty percent of that came from doing odd jobs as an electrician.

The other fifty percent came from Shepherd Yin Hong's Myriad Thunder Baptism.

The other is 100% Anti-Strong Light.

There's also 90% Anti-Poison, just a little bit short.

“I need to find an opportunity to increase this Anti-Poison attribute.”

The Anti-Heat attribute didn't need checking; he had also acquired it last time in Lei Laohu's workshop, totaling 70%.

“Still need to keep working hard!”

Shen Bei jumped out of bed.

After washing up and a simple tidying, Shen Bei saw a handsome man in the mirror.

He came out of the cafeteria after breakfast.

He saw Qi Chuanyu, with a toothpick in his mouth, bragging to Liao Zhongyang.

“Big guy, do you have any friends who know about cars? Help me inquire about cars priced between 2 million and 2.6 million, with an engine power of 3.0T or above, a good-looking exterior, preferably white, German car brands are best because of their reliable quality, and the interior should ideally be full leather with a panoramic sunroof. Preferably an SUV for good passability. Automatic or manual doesn't matter, the key is good looks and practicality. If you know anyone, recommend a few to me.”

Shen Bei was stunned.

When did this guy get so rich?

Shen Bei tentatively asked, “Did you sell all the Medicinal Pills the school gave you? Don't you want to improve anymore?”

“No, I didn't sell them,” Qi Chuanyu said calmly.

“Your house was demolished?” Shen Bei thought of his own old house.

Qi Chuanyu said casually, “No, I just want a few luxury car phone wallpapers.”

Shen Bei: …

Shen Bei's furious fist slammed into a big tree.

Liao Zhongyang shrugged, “See, I didn't even bother with him.”

What a waste of time… Shen Bei thought this guy suddenly got rich and could also drive a good car.

It turned out to be for phone wallpapers.

Then why did you describe it in such detail!

What a waste of emotions and mood.

“Haha, everyone's here? Come, come, the biggest joke of the year is here!”

At this moment, Niu Yanben, dragging Du Ziteng, ran over with sharp laughter.

Shen Bei looked at Du Ziteng, who was full of suppressed anger and had a dark face, and asked, “What happened?”

Niu Yanben laughed loudly in ridicule, “He fell for a young girl, tried to confess by giving her breakfast like others, but she rejected him and called him a psycho.”

Shen Bei's mouth twitched, “Rejected him? It's not that bad, at least he could get a good guy card, why would she curse him?”

“This guy…” Niu Yanben said, holding his stomach and laughing, “He originally planned to go up and say 'I want to confess,' but he blurted out 'I want to have you,' and the little girl kicked him flying.”

Shen Bei and the others all spat in unison, serves him right!

Du Ziteng sighed, “I messed up at the crucial moment, no wonder I don't have a girlfriend.”

Shen Bei comforted him, “What's there to be afraid of without a girlfriend? I have a girlfriend, but I've never won at chess.”

Du Ziteng: ???

Are we on the same chat channel?

Qi Chuanyu patted Du Ziteng's shoulder, “My legend, your reappearance.”

…

These past few days, Shen Bei had been daily staking out the Labor Market.

He would occasionally take on small odd jobs.

He didn't trigger the Fifth Dimension Attribute, but other attributes had increased.

For Shen Bei, no matter what kind of odd job, he would accept it without refusal.

As long as it could activate the daily panel, it was growth.

He was transforming, growing, and strengthening step by step.

On this day.

The national allocation of Materials arrived at Lingnan City Martial Arts University.

Originally, this batch of Materials was not supposed to exist.

Because of recent changes in national Martial Artist management, an additional batch of Material resources was temporarily added to ensure student Martial Artists could maximize their chances of survival in the catacombs.

Training was training, not a mass suicide.

Therefore, most of this batch of Materials consisted of close-fitting battle armor and battle weapons.

These equipments could provide a certain degree of protection, but not much.

After all, they were all standardized equipment.

Better equipment also existed, but it required special Materials from the catacombs to forge.

This required Martial Artists to venture into the catacombs themselves to collect those precious Materials.

It could be said that this batch of equipment was better than nothing.

These equipments did not require money to purchase, only academic credits.

Academic credits came from students' usual performance at the Martial Arts University.

For example: completion of class hours, exam scores, conduct, contributions, and so on, scored across multiple dimensions.

Apparently, Shen Bei was extremely unqualified in terms of academic completion.

Even during exams, some invigilators couldn't stand it and pointed at a question, asking Shen Bei: Before answering, think about the intention of the question setter.

Shen Bei immediately threw out a famous saying: “I think the question setter wants me to die.”

The invigilator immediately vomited blood and almost ended up in the ICU.

From then on, everyone started wondering if Professor Gu Xinrou's teaching level was too polarized…

Although Shen Bei's academic performance was subpar, what he lacked in one area, he made up for in another.

Shen Bei's contributions to the school were evident to all.

One solo suppression of a catacomb.

One king of champions in the National Freshmen Exchange Competition.

So, when Shen Bei checked his points, he was a bit stunned: over 13,000 points!

“How many points did you just say you have?” Shen Bei asked Niu Yanben.

Niu Yanben, with a proud and smug expression, repeated, “Didn't I just tell you, 1,200 points, second only to Yu Qiuyi, ranked second!”

Shen Bei said, “Oh, you're third now.”

Niu Yanben: ???

“What are you bragging about? Let me see yours!”

Niu Yanben was still a bit unconvinced.

At a glance, when the five-digit points appeared in his eyes, Niu Yanben was completely dumbfounded.

“Damn it, it's true that being good at fighting is better than being good at studying!” Niu Yanben snorted.

Shen Bei agreed with this statement.

A Martial Artist, must fight!

However, Shen Bei still had a little admiration for Niu Yanben.

Don't look at this guy with his dyed blond hair; in terms of coursework, he was truly miles ahead, leaving the rest of Zha Tian Gang far behind.

Even Qi Chuanyu felt inferior.

Other students were exchanging equipment.

These equipments were all very cheap.

Weapons were a bit more expensive, but any normal student could afford to exchange for them.

Shen Bei didn't care for these shoddy goods.

But he chose a small hidden weapon.

“Shadow Needles.”

Its total length was no more than three inches, as fine as a strand of hair; if not for careful observation, it would be almost impossible to distinguish it in a cluttered environment.

The Materials used to forge this hidden weapon came from the whiskers of the Shadow Ghoul Fox, a creature found in the catacombs.

The entire needle body was a deep dark purple, as if it could absorb the surrounding light, making it even harder to catch with the naked eye.

“It's quite suitable for me; I can stop using coins.”

Shen Bei exchanged some with academic credits; 100 needles only cost him one hundred points.

He had so many points he couldn't spend them all.

Afterward, Shen Bei received his exclusive Materials.

It was still the same, a fingerprint lock on the box, and the wax seal intact.

Shen Bei returned to the villa dormitory.

He opened the box directly.

Inside lay a Martial Skill book.

“Hidden Breath Technique?”

Shen Bei's mouth twitched when he saw the name.

“This… isn't quite suitable for me, is it?”
