Chapter 445: Chapter 445 – Passing Fish Eyes For Pearls

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

 Wei Xiao Bei hung up and promptly left the rented house. He walked into a public phone booth on the street to give a call to Wei Xing Wu and make some arrangements.

This included things like his hospitalization records for a broken leg.

There were many rules in this society of economics. However, many of these rules could be changed and bent. For example, placing the hospitalization record of a broken limb into the computer files of a certain private hospital.

This was very important for Wei Xiao Bei, as the police were very likely to investigate and confirm the timing of his hospitalization. This would create some trouble for him.

Of course, even such an arrangement had flaws. For instance, Wei Xiao Bei’s family did not know of him breaking his leg. Some civilians also seemed to have witnessed him in perfectly healthy conditions. The truth would be revealed if anyone approached these witnesses.

However, at this point, Wei Xiao Bei could only do his best. Unless he was determined to be a suspect, it wasn’t too likely for such in-depth investigations to happen.

Having made these arrangements, Wei Xiao Bei went to a handicapped supply depot to purchase a walking stick before making his way to the Bai Ta County Police Station.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei’s preparations had a strong effect. When the police responsible for recording his statement saw him limp in with a walking stick, he immediately eliminated Wei Xiao Bei as a suspect from his mind.

It couldn’t be helped. This was the benefit of Wei Xiao Bei’s broken leg.

Think about it. How could a handicapped person with a broken leg exterminate an entire group of enemies, or attempt an abduction?

That was far too much of a joke.

Of course, if Wei Xiao Bei was only an ordinary person and was still lying in bed with a broken leg instead of walking about with a walking stick now, he would probably be listed as one of the three most likely suspects.

Either way, Wei Xiao Bei easily left the police station after giving his statement. He used his sharp hearing to obtain quite a lot of information while he was at the police station. He quickly straightened out the flow of the events.

After he dealt with the group of degenerates and left, Wang Li Di’s father tried to contact his son for some business. However, the call didn’t go through and he couldn’t find Wang Li Di no matter where he looked. As such, he called the police and they located his position through his phone. They found the phone in his living place and broke in.

Of course, the greatest problem here was that Wei Xiao Bei had damaged the lock with his dagger.

It was clear that the situation was unusual when they saw the marks on the door lock.

In the end, forensics found large amounts of bloodstains on the wall.

Though no corpses were found, seven people had gone missing and this was enough to start a case.

The various acquaintances of the seven people were called for statements and even people like Wei Xiao Bei, who had had conflicts with the people on the street, were called into the station. One of those people was a relative of Wang Li Di as well.

Wei Xiao Bei felt like this was a fairly big trouble when he left the police station. This was still a problem after all. If he let the investigation continue, trouble might eventually find him.

Wei Xiao Bei immediately started thinking for a way to deal with the trouble after returning to the rented house.

Finally, a spark went off in his head and he came up with a brilliant idea.

Muddy the water, passing fish eyes for pearls!

The Fledging Life Altar still had 2500 pieces of flesh left. Wei Xiao Bei had absorbed the flesh of a Dang Kang when he created that Digging Pig.

That should be enough.

Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes. The foundational lifeform template appeared in his mind.

The completely recovered Fledging Life Altar could possess five foundational lifeform templates. At this point, Wei Xiao Bei had finalized three of these templates. They were the Weakling Pig, the High-Temperature Bird, and the Digging Pig.

After examining the first three templates, Wei Xiao Bei turned his attention onto the fourth foundational template.

It was currently empty, but as Wei Xiao Bei’s mind turned, an embryo started to form and grow. Skin appeared, along with bones and organs, until finally, it became a humanoid.

Yes, just a humanoid.

If he was to create this humanoid and release it onto the street, he would scare a great deal of them to death.

After all, the humanoid looked like a plastic model now.

Of course, this wasn’t the end of it yet. Wei Xiao Bei activated [Precise Calculation] and exhausted a great deal of his brainpower to fine-tune and add details to the humanoid.

As time passed, the humanoid slowly started to resemble an ordinary person.

It took an entire morning and afternoon for the foundational template in Wei Xiao Bei’s mind to be completed. The sun had already set by then.

This was the foundational lifeform template that Wei Xiao Bei had sculpted with Wang Li Di as the reference.

Of course, to avoid trouble, Wei Xiao Bei had adjusted the looks of this foundational lifeform to be extremely plain. Simply put, he had looks that one would easily forget without paying attention.

Let’s try making one for now.

Wei Xiao Bei closed his eyes and extended his left hand. The crack in his palm opened and a cluster of tendrils spewed forth, creating a two-feet wide ball of flesh on the ground.

The ball of flesh quickly split apart. In just twenty seconds, it broke and a humanoid climbed out from within.

With Wang Li Di as the foundation, creating this Fourth Foundational Creature only consumed a small amount of flesh. It took no more than thirty pieces of flesh, less than what one would get from absorbing an ordinary human.

This Fourth Foundational Creature quickly grew to the size of a human after eating the remains of the ball of flesh.

Wei Xiao Bei did some vague measurements in his mind. The human wasn’t too tall and stood at one meter and sixty centimeters. He wasn’t too muscular or scrawny either, as perfectly ordinary as Xiao Bei needed.

Then, Wei Xiao Bei threw a [Status Appraisal] at the Fourth Foundational Creature. The status results indicated that his attributes were very similar to an ordinary human, with no special abilities. His only two abilities were [Driving] (Intermediate) and [Chinese] (Intermediate).

Of course, he possessed the Intelligence attribute, much like your ordinary human. However, this didn’t mean that it had the intellect of a human. Indeed, intellect and intelligence overlapped in many aspects, but they were not the same thing.

Simply put, intellect gave one the mental capacity to create new knowledge, while intelligence was one’s ability to comprehend and understand things.

If one had to make some sort of comparison, an individual with high intelligence would naturally be smart, but they would not necessarily have very high intellect.

The Fourth Foundational Creature for example. His intelligence was slightly weaker than the average person, but it did not have much intellect.

Of course, this was more than enough for Xiao Bei’s purposes.

Wei Xiao Bei named this Fourth Foundational Creature, Person- taking the meaning of its existence to be an ordinary person.

Wei Xiao Bei had him make tea and pour it, along with a couple more tests. He then extended his left hand, shot out tendrils and wrapped the Person into a ball of flesh once again.

Modulation !

Wei Xiao Bei didn’t need to waste evolution points and conduct an Enhanced Modulation on Person. He only needed to make it such that his appearance and body measurements were the same as Wang Li Di.

It was a very fast procedure. After all, Person was a template finalized with Wang Li Di as reference. Wei Xiao Bei only needed to recall Wang Li Di’s appearance in his mind.

Soon, the ball of flesh broke apart and a person who looked just like Wang Li Di appeared in front of Wei Xiao Bei.

The cost of the modulation was low, at only twenty points. Most of these points were used for enhancing the Person’s muscle strength.

Wei Xiao Bei took out a set of clothes and made the Person wear them. He then lay down on the couch and had the Person exit the room. He continued to give orders, having the Person avoid video surveillance and climb out of the residential area.

Though this was somewhat difficult for the Person, the enhancement to his muscles made him barely capable of obeying these orders.

Upon leaving the neighborhood, the Person followed Wei Xiao Bei’s orders, getting in a taxi and heading toward Shui Mi Town of the Bai Ta County.

It was just past dinner time when the Person arrived at Shui Mi Town. Many wives and aunties were sitting by the street, weaving sweaters as they gossiped amongst themselves. Naturally, Wang Li Di’s mysterious disappearance was their favorite topic.

Of course, some of the most eager gossipers were constantly throwing out giant bombs, spreading all sorts of weird rumors- Wang Li Di started a fight over unfair distribution of spoils, Wang Li Di being killed by his father and many more. Some also claimed that Wang Li Di had been abducted and the culprit was demanding two million from his father as ransom.

Either way, everyone was happy to see this tragedy happen.

It couldn’t be helped. Wang Li Di and his family had a notorious reputation in Shui Mi Town.

If it wasn’t because the Wang family was boiling in rage at the moment, they would even come up with more ridiculous tales.

Most people here had been bullied by the Wang family and knew that they were people you did not want to anger.

Just as everyone was having fun speaking, a taxi stopped by the street and a man in black clothes stepped down from the car. A woman with sharp eyes couldn’t help but speak with a tremoring voice: “It, it, it’s Wang Li Di! He’s back! ”

All the women turned to look. Though it was dark out now, Shui Mi Town still had streetlights. They could all see that the person stepping out of the taxi was Wang Li Di!

The street immediately broke out into a panic. The women put away their stools and sweaters. In just an instant, all the wives had run into their homes and shut the door.

Wei Xiao Bei couldn’t help but sigh when he saw this unfold through his connection with the Person. It seemed Wang Li Di was truly one of those so-called ‘street-cleaning tigers’.

The reason the Person intentionally appeared in Shui Mi Town instead of returning to Xiao Keng Village was to show his face around and let the people know that Wang Li Di was back!

Before the police of the town could send people over, the Person put on a mean face and stopped a pedestrian on the road. He then had them lead him back to his house, as neither Wei Xiao Bei or the Person knew the way back to Wang Li Di’s place.

The taxi driver that had wanted to make some small change after his dinner couldn’t help but curse at Wang Li Di in his heart. That said, that was all he would do. He wouldn’t ever dare to argue against Wang Li Di for his missing pay.

The driver took off once the Person got out of the car. He might even lose more if he decided to stay instead.
