Chapter 120: Chapter 89: Agility 3.0, New Skill

He tiptoed back home and lay on his bed, listening to Don Quixote snore. He silently chanted in his mind:

’Add points!’

BUZZ!

He allocated all 0.6 attribute points at once, which immediately sent a sore, tingly sensation through him. Then, he felt as if a strange ’barrier’ between himself and the world had been stripped away. This was followed by a massive improvement to his dynamic visual acuity.

He could now seemingly ’see’ the flow of time itself.

He casually tossed a few pens from his desk into the air, and before they hit the ground, he caught every single one with just one hand.

’If there were a fly in front of me right now,’ Li Wei thought, ’I could probably catch it with chopsticks.’

By his previous estimates, an agility of 2.4 was already close to the level of a world-class athlete, perhaps even approaching a world record.

Now that he had boosted it to 3.0 in one go, it meant that in terms of agility, he had reached the absolute peak of human potential.

[Stage Mission 2 Complete: Two attributes have reached 3.0. Reward: Free Attribute Points +0.3, Draw 1 New Skill]

[Knight: Silver Body (Extraordinary) 1/4] --> [Knight: Silver Body (Extraordinary) 2/4]

[Free Attribute Points +0.3]

[Agility has reached 3.0. Drawing skill...]

[Congratulations, you have drawn the skill—Wall Walker]

[Wall Walker: You can remain on any surface capable of supporting your weight, regardless of its angle to the ground.]

This was the second incredible Extraordinary skill Li Wei had drawn!

He did a kip-up off the bed and studied the wall in front of him.

It was a perfectly normal wall, forming a perfect right angle with the floor. Logically, it should have been impossible for a person to just stand on it.

Li Wei took a deep breath, activated [Wall Walker], and placed one foot onto the wall.

It was a bizarre feeling; as he placed one foot on the wall, he felt as if he and the wall had become one.

He placed his other foot on it as well and stood steadily on the vertical wall, facing outward into the room.

A slight discomfort in his core muscles told him that his strength was still a little too low to hold the position for long.

He dumped the remaining 0.3 attribute points into strength, raising it to 2.3. Only then did the discomfort ease somewhat.

His perspective had shifted ninety degrees. The bed, desk, and wardrobe, which had been beside him, were now lying on their sides to his right. The familiar furnishings looked alien from this new angle. Taking in this brand-new view, he tried to take a step.

He lifted his foot, then set it down. The sense of adhesion was seamless.

Walking. At first, his steps were tentative, but they soon became smooth, even leisurely.

He paced along his bedroom wall, walking from the door to the window and back again. Through his socks, he could feel the fine, slightly rough texture of the wallpaper.

He stopped on the wall beside the window, gazing out at the quiet night and the distant coastline. The shore was now at his ’side,’ laid out in a strange, horizontal view.

"Hahaha," Li Wei laughed. "This is amazing!"

He paced back and forth on the wall like a child, until a bolder idea struck him.

He looked up, his gaze falling on the ceiling. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

He walked to where the wall met the ceiling. He lifted a leg, stepped upward, and his body traced a short arc as his feet planted firmly on the ceiling. His hair dangled below him.

Hanging upside down.

Blood seemed to rush to his head, bringing a slight feeling of pressure, but his 3.0 constitution instantly regulated the discomfort. The sensation quickly faded until it was almost negligible. ’Judging by the earlier discomfort in my core,’ he thought, ’it seems a constitution of 3.0 is what’s needed to use this skill perfectly.’

Gravity’s direction had completely reversed. He was now upside down, his feet seemingly rooted to the ceiling, standing firm.

The bed was now above his head, like a small, square, dark island. The desk, the chair, the open book—all of them were ’arranged’ at an angle that completely defied everyday experience. The ceiling light beside him resembled a bizarre cluster of crystal flowers. The door had become a vertical chasm leading upward. Every familiar object took on a grotesque, almost comical posture, as if a mischievous child had violently spun the entire room one hundred and eighty degrees and frozen it in place.

’Truly amazing,’ Li Wei thought.

As he walked back down the wall, a strange idea suddenly occurred to him.

"What if I jump?" he muttered to himself. "Will I just fall off, or will it be like jumping on flat ground?"

To avoid causing a commotion and waking Don Quixote if the experiment failed, Li Wei walked to the spot on the ceiling directly above his bed.

He gave a small jump. Immediately, he felt some indescribable force connecting the soles of his feet to the ceiling, pulling him firmly back. It seemed that as long as the [Wall Walker] skill was active, whatever surface his feet were on was, for him, the ground.

When his feet were back on the actual floor, Li Wei deactivated the skill. The sudden return to a normal perspective brought on a wave of dizziness and disorientation. It looked like he would need some time to get used to this skill.

「Another week passed in the blink of an eye.」

Don Quixote was incredibly busy today—so busy that when a pipe burst again in the Bronx building, he had no time to deal with it. He had to ask Li Wei to go take a look.
