18: New skill [Piercing Arrow], amazing charm, enjoy ear cleaning

“This is LV6 Assault, truly fast and strong… And these three arrows were too many; only two arrows would have been enough to kill this Mid-Level Mutant.”

“Especially the first arrow, under the enhancement of Assault, it directly pierced through its skull.”

“So, if Assault levels up again, it should probably have the killing power to instantly kill both Mid-Level Infected and Mid-Level Mutant.”

“It’s just that the feeling of instantly consuming 25% of my stamina isn’t great; there’s a severe sense of depletion in a very short amount of time.”

“But it’s not something I can’t adapt to.”

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Bai Xuan immediately took a few steps forward, reaching out to touch it.

“Obtained skill ‘Penetrating Arrow’.”

“Skill: Penetrating Arrow LV1 (0/100)”

“Effect: Active skill, consumes 20% stamina, granting the next arrow fired +70% Penetrating Power.”

Seeing the new skill he gained this time, Bai Xuan’s eyes lit up.

“It’s a skill related to Archery.”

“Very good… This way, my ranged attack capability has also been greatly enhanced.”

A smile played on his lips, a faint glow appeared on the recurve hunting bow in Bai Xuan’s hand.

He checked the time; there were still twenty minutes left, so he continued hunting.

Arrows were fired one after another, and Attribute Points and Skill Points steadily accumulated.

“Hmm? It’s a Mid-Level Infected. Another drop of evolutionary blood, very good. It seems my luck is good today.”

“I’m one step closer to collecting ten drops of evolutionary blood and breaking the limit of an attribute.”

After killing this Mid-Level Infected, the time was up, and he exited the game.

Fifteen minutes later.

“It’s nine o’clock, and there are quite a few people here.”

“Yes.”

Bai Xuan looked at the people queuing in front of him, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

“Let’s ask how long we have to wait.”

“Okay.”

The cashier was also a young woman, dressed in a light green, thin Hanfu. At this moment, she was responsible for serving water.

Soon, a glass of water was brought to Bai Xuan.

And when she saw Bai Xuan, she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Oh my, he’s too handsome!

“Excuse me, how much longer do we have to wait?”

Hearing Bai Xuan’s words, she didn’t react immediately.

Mainly, Bai Xuan’s handsomeness was simply too visually impactful.

She was completely dazed.

She really hadn’t expected that such a handsome man existed in the small Lehan City.

However, after two seconds of stunned, she reacted and quickly replied:

“Soon, about ten minutes more.”

“Handsome sir, beautiful lady, please have a seat and drink some water first.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Bai Xuan politely took the water and thanked her.

As for the cashier, seeing Bai Xuan reach out, her fingers couldn’t help but move, seemingly wanting to brush against his.

However, Bai Xuan’s speed was too fast; she couldn’t touch him at all.

But Bai Xuan also noticed this, and his eyes deepened a few shades.

It seems he really needs to protect himself.

Because he was too handsome, there were always women trying to take advantage of him.

Jiang Yuxi, who was beside him, also noticed this small movement. Her gaze towards Bai Xuan had long been impure.

“Good Brother is truly getting more and more handsome.”

“Keep the good things within the family, and the early bird catches the worm.”

“It seems I need to make my move soon. If Good Brother is snatched away by bad women outside, I’ll regret it to death.”

Looking down at his fair, well-defined muscular arms, then at his long, fair fingers… Jiang Yuxi couldn’t help but swallow.

As his four-dimensional attributes reached the number five, Bai Xuan’s physique had already reached the human limit. His five sensory abilities had long been greatly enhanced, not to mention Bai Xuan also had the passive skill Agility.

Although Jiang Yuxi’s swallowing sound wasn’t loud, Bai Xuan heard it clearly.

This made Bai Xuan sigh inwardly.

The friendship had changed; his Good Brother had designs on him.

It was truly difficult to be a handsome man.

Bai Xuan had few friends, so he naturally cherished his friendship with Jiang Yuxi.

Although this friendship was never entirely pure, it was becoming increasingly impure now.

“Forget it, it doesn’t matter. Let nature take its course.”

Outwardly, Bai Xuan appeared relaxed, chatting casually with Jiang Yuxi.

Although there were more male customers in the shop, there were also women.

These people naturally couldn’t help but size up Bai Xuan, and Jiang Yuxi also couldn’t help but steer the conversation in that direction.

“Good Brother, your changes recently are truly getting bigger and bigger.”

“Once you started working out, it’s like you’ve been reborn.”

“Your mortal body has transformed into an immortal body, this skin, this figure, these features… It’s truly indescribable.”

“As your Good Brother, I’m truly getting more and more worried.”

“Worried about what?”

Bai Xuan asked casually.

“Worried that you’ll be targeted by bad women.”

“They say it’s not about fearing a thief who steals, but fearing a thief who keeps you in mind.”

“Good Brother, don’t be too confident. You think you won’t be deceived, but that’s only because you haven’t met a bad woman with enough intelligence and strong enough methods.”

“Good Brother, I think you’re a bit too concerned about my personal life.”

“What?”

“I treat you as my brother, but you still have feelings for me?”

Bai Xuan looked at Jiang Yuxi with a half-smile.

This expression on Bai Xuan’s face truly had an indescribable, unexplainable charm.

Mysterious, powerful, roguishly handsome, and alluring.

“You…”

Jiang Yuxi almost couldn’t hold back.

But she also knew she couldn’t reveal herself; what would happen if she did?

“We’re Good Brothers. Is it wrong for me to care about you?”

“You’re truly ungrateful.”

“Alright then.”

Bai Xuan reined in his expression, ending the topic.

Soon,

it was Bai Xuan and Jiang Yuxi’s turn.

“Handsome sir, what service would you like?”

The technician assigned to Bai Xuan, seeing how handsome and heroic he was, her eyes were practically sparkling, and she was secretly overjoyed.

“Ear cleaning.”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Handsome sir, please lie down.”

As the technician began the ear cleaning, the soft feathers brushed across his face and ears.

This tingling, numbing sensation was truly enjoyable.

His eyes slightly narrowed, Bai Xuan felt that it was indeed comfortable.

And as various tools probed into his ear canal—scraping, scratching, turning—his entire body relaxed.

Ear cleaning was indeed comfortable; for Bai Xuan, it was even more comfortable than a massage.

Well, it was also possible that Bai Xuan hadn’t experienced a master masseur’s techniques yet.

But that wasn’t important.

What was important was enjoying the present moment.

This forty-nine yuan ear cleaning was truly worth it.

“Handsome sir, would you like to try other services in the shop?”

“Facial cleansing and eye washing are also very comfortable.”

“How is facial cleansing done?”

“First, we massage, then wash with facial cleanser, and finally apply a face mask.”

“Are there any other services you recommend?”
