Chapter 53: 053 Six Potential Points
“I… don’t know.”
Wei Dong sighed and plopped down next to Bai Xiao.
“My dad won’t let in on the company’s core secrets. I just tried to ask him, but he still wouldn’t tell. All I know is that my dad’s company deals in pharmaceuticals, just like those health products they advertise on TV. They’re supposed to make you healthier, younger…”
“As for more than that, I don’t know.”
He shrugged his shoulders, showing a helpless look.
Perhaps Wei Nan thought Wei Dong was still too young and impetuous, possibly unable to keep secrets, which is why he didn’t tell him. Of course, there’s another possibility—that this secret cos with trouble and danger, and not knowing might be better than knowing.
...
Bai Xiao didn’t continue the topic—with Wei Dong himself knowing so little, there obviously wasn’t much useful information he could get.
At 8:20 PM, Bai Xiao left the company campus.
It was Wei Dong who drove him, taking him all the way to the Sunshine District.
“See you tomorrow.”
At the entrance to the Sunshine District, the black sedan’s engine was still running, and the windows on the driver and passenger side were rolled down. Wei Dong turned his head towards the entrance of the district.
“See you tomorrow.”
Bai Xiao waved back and then walked towards his rental ho.
He and Wei Dong had talked a lot just now, specifically about the experintal personal job panel rules. He wanted to try, if he hired soone to stir up trouble in a bar and then personally resolved it, whether it would count as fulfilling the duties of a security guard. Wei Dong didn’t ask why Bai Xiao wanted to do this; he just told Bai Xiao to do whatever he wanted.
Buddy will help you.
Conveniently, Wei Dong actually had connections in Huai Shui City. He once knew a rich second-generation who owned a bar, which might be a good place to conduct the experint.
Furthermore, as a thanks to Bai Xiao for earlier, Wei Nan asked Wei Dong to buy a high-end car in a few days to give to Bai Xiao. As for whether Bai Xiao would sell it or drive it himself once he received it, that was up to him.
Indeed, Bai Xiao’s intervention earlier had indeed been a big help.
Sunshine District, rental ho.
Bai Xiao walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower.
Suddenly, his whole mind cooled down.
Turning off the shower, he walked to the mirror and looked at himself.
[Your job “Fighter” Experience 10!]
This was a career information prompt he received after his fight with the hooded man had ended. Bai Xiao reflected on the previous few sparring sessions where it seed he hadn’t gained experience, but this ti he did. He analyzed the main differences between the fights and quickly ca to a conclusion.
Fighting for life or death!
Both parties had fought viciously, with the intention to put the other in mortal danger. Such fierce battling was what brought experience to the Fighter profession.
This was also another way to level up the Fighter profession.
He could maybe use this in the future.
In front of the mirror, Bai Xiao took a deep breath and thought to himself silently.
“First, pass the elite class and get the Federation Ninth Rank Certificate.”
“That way, I can easily get a new job from Brother Dong, Martial Arts Coach. Right, I wonder if the level of my certificate will affect the experience of a Martial Arts Coach? If I am a Martial Arts Coach with a professional first-level certificate, I definitely can’t match a coach with a professional fourth-level certificate…” Bai Xiao naturally ca to a reasonable speculation.
“No matter what, the higher the job certificate level, the better!”
He made up his mind, quickly left the bathroom, and started his work as a security guard for the day. Bai Xiao was as diligent as ever, even more so than usual. Because, based on the rate of experience acquisition for each profession, the security job was the next fastest breakthrough—he estimated three to four days, relying solely on regular work hours, both the security profession and patrolling skills should advance to the next level.
Both of these would advance from level two to level three.
Six potential points could be allocated to Bai Xiao.
With these six potential points, coupled with about a hundred experience points he’d gather in three or four days, Bai Xiao’s sandboxing and boxing would be pushed to the Perfect Realm! These additional three hundred experience points from the potential points would be more than enough!
The critical part was, if Bai Xiao reached perfection in one of the combat skills and then went on to apply for the Federation Ninth Rank Certificate, he could beco one of the top professionals at the fourth level in the Martial Arts Association! In doing so, becoming Wei Dong’s martial arts coach, he would gain more professional and skill experience.
This is definitely a progressively positive feedback loop!
July 8th, White Bird Training Base.
Bai Xiao’s mastery of the initially learned breathing techniques beca increasingly exquisite, and he mastered five movents on the Blackbird exercise fra, only the most challenging one left unlearned. Today, Chu Ming ranked second in the class, had just begun the White Bird Breathing Technique, and almost mastered one movent of the exercise fra.
However, Chu Ming, who ranked second, still had a significant gap compared to the top-ranked Bai Xiao. Bai Xiao was already aiming for the Visualization Boxing Manual, whereas Chu Ming hadn’t even mastered the exercise fra, widening the gap between them. Despite initially competing secretly with Bai Xiao, Chu Ming, putting his best effort, could not catch up.
All of this was witnessed by Liu Yang.
In the evening, Bai Xiao, utilizing Wei Dong’s connections, began the experint.
He swiftly joined Wei Dong’s friend’s bar as a staff mber, then provoked custors pretending to be thieves or drunkards to initiate trouble, after which Bai Xiao would intervene to enforce justice and secure the bar. Afterward, he ended up gaining zero experience, accomplishing nothing.
The first strategy proved unsuccessful.
Half an hour later, he proceeded with the second prepared strategy.
In just one day, using his connections, Wei Dong identified several of the most chaotic bars in Huaisui City, allowing Bai Xiao to choose. Without a mont’s delay, Bai Xiao rushed there and joined one of those bars speedily, and this ti, he genuinely thrived!
The second strategy really worked, the chaotic environnt was ideal for a bouncer to perform his role. That night, Bai Xiao handled three unexpected incidents in grand style, resulting in quick advancents in his security profession and skills.
[Your profession ‘Security’, experience 35]
[Your skill ‘Patrol’, experience 34]
Consulting the professional panel again.
[Profession: Security LV.2（193/200）]
[Skill: Patrol LV.2（195/200）]
Acquiring the six potential points was within easy reach.
That night, Bai Xiao thanked Wei Dong. Unexpectedly, his gratitude was t with Wei Dong’s harsh scolding. He told Bai Xiao that he had rely helped with a trivial favor, incomparable to the previous day’s help with reclaiming the latest pharmaceutical for the company. He warned Bai Xiao not to ntion thanks anymore or else he would cut ties, telling him to shut his mouth!
At that mont, Bai Xiao felt Brother Dong had a bit of a dominant boss vibe to him.
Loved it…
July 9th.
Training base, gymnasium, area three.
In the corner, a tall wooden mannequin soaked in tung oil was under heavy attack, with a series of deep, thudding noises echoing.
Around, so elite class students also practicing on wooden mannequins couldn’t help but shift their attention there. They saw a strong-built, dark-haired young man, freshly buzz-cut, with a rugged facial contour and sharp eyebrows.
He was constantly punching and pulling back, using his elbows as well.
The punches were simultaneous heavy and fast, leaving trails of afterimages.
Bang!
Bai Xiao struck the wooden mannequin, causing it to tremble violently, its base slightly tipped.
He took a deep breath, his eyes vacant as he stared ahead.
This was the most he had ever done since activating his Fighter profession.
[Your profession ‘Fighter’, experience 16!]
