I Have Infinite Skill Points

The girl's skin was as pale as cream, her black hair flowing like ink, covering her cheeks so her features were indiscernible.

But this sight did not strike the two as sensual; instead, a chill crept up their spines.

Wang Lan raised his head to look at the delivery man. "What's this? Is this some new promotion from your store?"

"I... I don't know... This... this, I checked it when I sealed the package... Could it be that some seafood has come to life? I'll call the police... call the police!"

"Hold on a second!" Wang Lan reached out and placed his hand on the girl's neck. He felt an icy touch but, thankfully, a clear pulse. This meant the girl was still alive...

Damn, to lie there almost naked on ice-covered seafood for so long, not only did she not freeze to death, but she still has such a strong pulse?

Wang Lan gently brushed the hair away from the girl's cheek, revealing a beautiful profile before his eyes. In that instant, disbelief crossed Wang Lan's face.

At that moment, the girl on the ice blocks suddenly opened her eyes.

BOOM—

A loud noise erupted, and the container of fresh seafood exploded.

A Water Sword instantly struck towards Wang Lan's face.

Wang Lan's figure blurred, leaving afterimages as he dodged the incoming Water Sword. Before he could steady himself, a whip-like leg, as white as jade, swept toward him.

Wang Lan swiftly blocked with his hands, catching the kick.

But the girl's offensive didn't stop. In a blink, her moves swept in like a peacock spreading its tail. Every single one of the girl's techniques was a Basic Combat move, but they were incredibly sharp.

Even with all of Wang Lan's silver later-stage Basic Combat strength, he felt like he was being oppressively overpowered, unable to catch his breath. With such martial prowess, wouldn't she be top-notch even amongst professional Star Martial Warriors?

"I say, Monitor Xie, you're quite the actress, aren't you! In school, you seem so weak in combat, yet now you display such formidable strength. Just who are you, and are you here to assassinate me?"

"Monitor Xie? Are you..." Suddenly, the Xie Sisi before him halted, her eyes alternating between confusion and sharpness, as if shifting rapidly between two modes.

"Hmm?" Wang Lan's eyes narrowed as a huge amount of fresh blood suddenly surged from Xie Sisi's shoulder. Blood gushed out like a fountain.

"A gunshot wound? What is going on with you? If you don't start talking, I won't be so polite."

"Wang Lan... save me..."

No sooner had Xie Sisi spoken than her body softened and she collapsed. Wang Lan did not immediately rush to catch her, waiting until she had actually fallen to the ground and lost consciousness before he went up to check her injuries.

The bullet had struck her shoulder. Since she had been hiding in the freezer, the ice had numbed the wound, so it hadn't bled much initially. However, the fight with Wang Lan had accelerated her blood flow, causing the wound to suddenly erupt with blood.

Given the amount of blood, Xie Sisi would not survive five minutes.

Obviously, the possibility that Xie Sisi had come to assassinate him could be ruled out. Would she come attacking with injuries? Therefore, there's another explanation—Xie Sisi was being hunted.

Damn, could this be like something out of those movies? Our gentle and frail Monitor Xie appears to be a student of the Star Martial Class, but behind the scenes, she's a member of some assassin organization?

But what do I do now? The bleeding's not stopping, just like the proverbial flood of aunt Flo. After a moment's hesitation, Wang Lan still placed his hand over the wound on Xie Sisi's shoulder.

As the Star Power surged, the pained furrow in Xie Sisi's brows eased slightly.

The sound of a car horn starting up rang out. When Wang Lan looked up again, the delivery man had already jumped into the vehicle and started the engine.

"Hey, wait—"

Wait for nothing. That fight scared the hell out of me. The delivery man had only one thought—to get away. Who knew what terrible things he'd accidentally witnessed, and who knew if he'd be silenced for it?

Watching the truck speed away into the distance, Wang Lan swallowed his explanations, lodged deep in his throat.

Wang Lan lifted his hand; the bullet from Xie Sisi's shoulder had been expelled during the healing process, and the wound had completely healed without even a scar.

But due to the severe blood loss, Xie Sisi remained unconscious.

Looking at Xie Sisi lying on the ground, Wang Lan felt his blood surging. Her figure, it was just too good. Having lived two lifetimes and currently at this age of burgeoning youth, this really could be the death of him.

In his mind, an iconic line surfaced unbidden, "My lord, she's still warm!"

Bending down, he picked up Xie Sisi and headed for the elevator.

"Xiao Ai, clean up."

"Got it! Wang Lan, do you need me to call the police?"

"No need."

In Wang Lan's room, as he rapidly worked on his laptop, a faint sound suddenly came from the bed. Wang Lan stopped and turned around, on guard, towards Xie Sisi.

Xie Sisi's brows were tightly knit; then abruptly, she opened her eyes.

Then she quickly sat up to check her body.

Wang Lan couldn't understand. She was only wearing lingerie; what was the point of her checking her body like that? But women seemed to have their own ways of discerning whether they'd been violated. Anyway, Xie Sisi's expression relaxed after three seconds with a long exhale.

"Xie Sisi, you still haven't explained things to me," Wang Lan said.

"Ah?" Xie Sisi only then realized that Wang Lan was in the room, looking over in a daze.

The series of actions Xie Sisi took upon waking up seemed too amateurish to Wang Lan. The previous suspicion that Xie Sisi was someone trained by an organization began to waver.

A professional warrior would first check their surroundings to ensure safety upon waking up, not check their own physical condition. But Xie Sisi behaved in the opposite way.

If she were trained professionally and still ended up like this, Wang Lan thought she shouldn't have survived long enough to graduate.

"Wang Lan? You… why are you here? Wait, where am I?"

"This is my house."

"Your house? How did I get to your house?" Xie Sisi's question made Wang Lan's nerves twitch on the spot.

How did you get to my house... Don't you have any idea?

"How you got to my house is something I still haven't figured out, but shouldn't you explain how you ended up with a gunshot wound?" As he said this, Wang Lan's gaze sharpened.

He opened his palm, revealing a bullet lying quietly in the center.

"A 0.6 cm caliber self-loading pistol with an effective range of under fifty meters. Such pistols are generally police issue. Military standard pistols are 0.8 cm caliber. If it were some unofficial organization, they likely wouldn't use such a small caliber firearm."

"I…" Hearing Wang Lan's words, Xie Sisi's face became frantic.

"I didn't want this… I was drugged… When I was groggy, I felt someone undressing me… I woke up in shock and saw a man with a face like a pig.

"I… I instinctively used my Star Martial Skill to injure him… Then I jumped out the window and escaped. And then… someone pursued me. Then I heard police sirens chasing me too…

"My head was a mess, and I felt dizzy… I ran for my life, but the guard kept chasing me relentlessly. He told me to stop, but… I was too scared…

"For a Star Martial Warrior to attack ordinary people with Star Martial Skill, by law, they're charged with intent to commit murder. If the victim doesn't die, it's attempted murder. Then… he fired his gun.

"I kept dodging, and then I took a bullet in my shoulder.

"After that, I hid inside a warehouse in a shopping center. I heard someone inside talking about making deliveries. I saw a box, then hid inside it. It was so cold… but… my head was so dizzy. Soon, I didn't know anything else. When I woke up, I was here."

"What you said… Why don't I believe it?" Wang Lan scoffed, his arms crossed. The story sounded as thrilling as a movie script, even more so than most scripts.

"I'm telling the truth… I'm not lying."

"Wang Lan, please save me… I don't want to go to jail, I just wanted to defend myself… I didn't intend to use Star Martial Skill. But… I was so weak at that moment, I couldn't resist without using Star Martial Skill."

"Are you sure?" Wang Lan stared into Xie Sisi's eyes, sensing the plea in her gaze. "Then… tell me why you're pretending?"

"Pretending?" Xie Sisi looked puzzled at Wang Lan.

"You're pretending even now. Your strength isn't just not below mine. It's actually even above it. You managed to fight me and even had me suppressed, despite being wounded in the shoulder and frozen for so long.

"This kind of strength, among national high school students, is rare. But in school, your combat skills appeared so weak! If it isn't pretending, then what is it?"

"She's not pretending!" Xie Sisi suddenly spoke up, but instantly gave Wang Lan a chilling sensation.

Xie Sisi's appearance hadn't changed one bit, yet her gaze became unusually sharp.

The same face but a change in her eyes gave the impression of a completely different person.

In that moment, Wang Lan's Star Power began to circulate quietly through his body.

"Split personality?"

"Something like that, but you don't need to worry, my emergence is harmless to her," the other's voice was even colder than Jiang Xinyu's.

"My appearance originates from an incident when she was nine years old. That year, I was nine, our parents worked night shifts, and my brother stayed at his school. It was my mother's birthday, and I personally made a bowl of dumplings to take to my parents' factory."

"You could make dumplings at age nine?" Wang Lan asked in surprise.

"What's so surprising about that? I learned how to chop vegetables and stir-fry when I was six. People like us from the lower strata of society start doing household chores to help our parents from an early age."

"What happened after that?"

"I encountered a pedophile. He tied me up in the green belt under the overpass and tried to…" As she reached this point, Xie Sisi's eyes flashed with intense killing intent.

"And then what? You emerged?"

"Not at that time. She was incredibly scared, especially when she saw that man's... thing. She only had one thought in her mind: wishing for someone to come rescue her…

"Just then, an accident occurred on the overpass. A dump truck tipped over, and its concrete mixer barrel rolled down from above. He abandoned me and ran, but the barrel crushed him to death."

"Eh… You were okay?" Wang Lan stared wide-eyed; the plot was even more dramatic than a TV drama.

If he hadn't run, it wouldn't have hit him. Yet, he effectively sealed his own fate by running right into its path, and the rolling mixer barrel crushed him to death on the spot.

"Later, the guards came and rescued me. Following that, she had a fever for half a month. During that illness, I came into being."
