However, Wei Xiao Bei had a bad feeling now that he had this passive skill.
What kind of effect was [Thrown Fruit Fills Carriage]?
Wei Xiao Bei focused his attention on the description but got no feedback. As such, he took out his phone and went on the web.
Thrown Fruit Fills Carriage: Pan An’s beauty is unparalleled. For every trip made, old women will cast fruit until the carriage is full.
The modern explanation for it was that Pan An was extremely beautiful. When he rode his carriage down the street, even old women would be charmed by him and start tossing fruits into his carriage until it was full.
M**********!
Cold beads of sweat couldn’t help but appear down his back when he read the description.
He finally understood what [Thrown Fruit Fills Carriage] roughly meant.
It wasn’t hard to figure out at all. When he walked down the street, all sorts of old ladies, aunties, wives, and girls would swarm him and give him all the things they had in their hands.
He might just get on the news the moment he stepped onto a public street.
He was sweating profusely just at the thought of it.
Fortunately, information that flashed through his mind quickly took his attention away.
This information had appeared on its own in the status panel. In essence, now that all of Wei Xiao Bei’s sub-attributes had reached 20 points, he had obtained a new feature, [Sacrifice].
[Sacrifice] (Feature): Obtained once all sub-attributes have been increased to 20 points. The host may sacrifice any skill or ability. Depending on its quality, the host might have a chance of improving another skill or ability. Note: The success rate depends on the strength and quality of the two chosen abilities.
Sacrifice a skill or an ability to improve another skill or ability?
Wei Xiao Bei fell into deep thought after seeing this description.
Who knows what sort of changes would occur through using this [Sacrifice] feature?
Wei Xiao Bei then took a proper look at his entire status panel.

....
After examining his status panel thoroughly Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but sigh softly. He had unknowingly increased his power to such a formidable degree.
He could even fight against a 4-Star creature now. Of course, whether he would defeat it or escape with his life depended on luck.
That said, this [Sacrifice] feature should be different from offering Immortal quality dishes.
Deciding which skill and ability to sacrifice and improve was undoubtedly a massive test for Wei Xiao Bei.
The variable success rate was a very easily understood concept.
Speaking plainly, if Wei Xiao Bei sacrificed the Unfathomable [Electrical Work] to improve the Intermediate [Military Boxing], he was certain that the chance of improving [Military Boxing] would be 100%.
Conversely, if he sacrificed [Military Boxing] to improve [Electrical Work], the success rate would probably be below 0.1%.
It was as simple as that.
However, it was because of how simple it was that Wei Xiao Bei needed to conduct very fine calculations before he could make his decision.
If he acted recklessly and failed, the loss would be immense.
Wei Xiao Bei first categorized all his skills and abilities.
He split them into the must-retain and the maybe-retain categories.
The skills and abilities that must be retained included [Intermediate Power Burst], [Power Crush], [Unobstructed Path], [Limb Regrowth], [Full of Vitality], [Indomitable Spirit], [Enlightenment], [Response Search], [Early Warning], [Bold and Decisive], [Practice What You Preach], [Electrical Work], [Bajiquan], [Cooking], [Language], [Life Altar], [Release Electricity], [Electricity Control]. [Electromagnetic Field] and [Web of Roots]. These twenty-one skills and abilities formed the foundation of Wei Xiao Bei’s power and could not be given up upon.
The ones that might be retained were [Eagle Eye], [Lithe as a Swallow], [Reactive Rebound], [Ten Lines At A Glance], [Persuade Through Reasoning], [Air of Brilliance], [Pan An’s Beauty], [Shooting], [Military Boxing], [Three Emperor Cannon Fist], [Fake Concealed Weapon], [Medicine], [Driving], [Fire Resistance], and [Desertification]. These eighteen abilities and skills were relatively useless to Wei Xiao Bei. Some of them were not very helpful, such as [Shooting], [Military Boxing], [Fishing] and [Pan An’s Beauty]. In particular, Wei Xiao Bei felt like sacrificing [Pan An’s Beauty] was probably the best option, as it drew too much attention to himself. It did not suit his principle of keeping a low profile.
There was no doubt that the abilities and skills to be sacrificed would come from one of these eighteen.
Wei Xiao Bei had already sensed that the appearance of the [Sacrifice] feature was undoubtedly the key to improving skills that could not be further improved!
Of course, Wei Xiao Bei required careful thought if he wanted to maximize the value of Sacrifice.
After all, even the most useless ability had not been easy to obtain for Wei Xiao Bei. Sacrificing it recklessly would be a foolish move. It would be alright if the improvement succeeded, but if it failed, then he would be feeling a great loss.
Take [Military Boxing] for example. It was a skill that was completely useless to Wei Xiao Bei. However, he had no idea if he could obtain it again once he had sacrificed it.
If sacrificed skills were very difficult to regain, then even the weakest of his skills had tremendous value.
After using the related skills to boost and accelerate his logical skills, Wei Xiao Bei thought for over half an hour. The veins in his forehead almost appeared as if they were about to burst.
Finally, Wei Xiao Bei made a decision and decided to sacrifice [Military Boxing]!
However, some things had to be done before he sacrificed the skill.
He focused his attention on [Military Boxing (Intermediate)]!
As his attention gathered on the skill, the gray fonts of the skill quickly turned dark gray. After a hundred evolution points were used, a trace of dark red appeared in the dark gray. Like a drop of ink in water, it quickly spread out and finally turned [Military Boxing] into a light red.
[Military Boxing] improved to Advanced!
Wei Xiao Bei instantly felt as if he had been practicing [Military Boxing] for over three to four years. He couldn’t help but get up from the rock and jump to the side of the pool, where he started practicing the moves.
Wei Xiao Bei still could not calm down yet, even after finishing a set of boxing routines. This familiar boxing reminded him of his time in the army. Who knows how his comrades in arms were doing?
In this day and age, everyone had to fight for a living. Even the closest of comrades could not stand the ravaging of time and distance.
Wei Xiao Bei remembered back when he had just returned home after his retirement. He often sent letters and made phone calls to his squad leader and squadmates. They often wrote and called back, but ever since he left his home to work, all of their communication abruptly stopped.
This mostly had to do with him not doing well after retiring from the army and cutting off ties with his squad mates out of embarrassment.
Indeed, this was a crucial reason why he had done so.
Of course, there were other reasons as well.
In all honesty, even if Wei Xiao Bei had been doing well in life and work, his ties to his old social circle would slowly weaken as he built new social connections at work and business.
This was life.
After keeping silent for a moment, Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. He had been affected by the [Military Boxing] after all.
That said, Wei Xiao Bei prepared to take a bit of time to visit some of his closest squadmates. He should probably arrange this around the time he would go visiting the major martial arts schools to ask to look at their secret tomes.
After deciding on this course of action, he focused his attention back onto [Military Boxing].
After consuming another 200 points, [Military Boxing] improved from Advanced to Expert.
Then, Wei Xiao Bei continued to improve [Military Boxing].
Master, Perfection, Greater Heights, Unfathomable!
He finally turned his attention away once the skill was at Unfathomable.
At this point, he had consumed over 2600 points to improve [Military Boxing]!
This was no small sum. It was enough to increase any sub-attribute of Charm by 13 points.
Still, this investment was well worth it.
Wei Xiao Bei could feel that his [Military Boxing] had reached an unimaginable peak.
Groin kick into a neck chop!
Wei Xiao Bei used a [Military Boxing] move and the tree he used as the target was instantly snapped in half!
Wei Xiao Bei had controlled his strength to be at the level of an ordinary person when he did this move. However, upon reaching the Unfathomable level, [Military Boxing] naturally produced a special force that snapped the tree in half when the strike landed!
Wei Xiao Bei estimated the might of [Military Boxing] and was shocked to discover that it had over 50% of the power of the Unfathomable level [Bajiquan].
This meant that [Military Boxing] was truly powerful after reaching this level.
Simply put, even if Wei Xiao Bei’s attributes were only at the level of an average person, the use of Unfathomable [Military Boxing] would make him as powerful as a 2-Star creature.
Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but be overjoyed when he realized this. He had to acknowledge the power of the status panel.
Of course, improving [Military Boxing] to Unfathomable cost 2600 evolution points. If he had used the points to increase his attributes, he would have been able to increase the two sub-attributes of Strength above 20 points, thereby allowing him to possess the power of a 2-Star creature as well.
