Skill Card
"Now my attributes only have constitution and speed that have not reached 1. With 100 evolution points, which can be converted into 0.5 attributes, I can evenly distribute them between constitution and speed, raising all attributes to 1."
"Having balanced attributes means being mediocre, but it also means not having any weaknesses."
"The Pig-faced Butcher's strength, endurance, and constitution far surpassed mine, but I seized the opportunity thanks to my advantage in speed."
"Even though he was a level above me, he still met a fatal end. The strength of one's abilities always depends on the lowest point."
"In this dangerous world, there can be no flaws."
"So, the choice is clear."
With a thought, Wu Mei focused on speed and constitution. The next moment, the evolution points quickly decreased, and his constitution and speed attributes also rapidly increased.
A warm current circulated within his body, and he felt his body trembling as if it were being torn apart. This warm current was not gentle at all, only filled with naked violence.
It seemed to want to tear his body apart and then reassemble it. The intense pain made him want to scream, but he couldn't muster any strength.
However, he didn't dare. If the sound attracted terrifying monsters, he would be completely defenseless in his current state.
After about five minutes, the tearing sensation in his body slowly disappeared, replaced by a comfortable feeling accompanied by a surge of power.
At this moment, he felt that his body had become a flawless physique.
Looking at the Pig-faced Butcher, Wu Mei saw the Butcher's Blade next to it, and a new row of data appeared.
Item: Butcher's Blade
Level: Ordinary
Skill: Bloodletting
"A weapon, this is a good thing, a weapon with an inherent skill."
A hint of delight appeared in his eyes, and Wu Mei bent down to pick it up.
Gently caressing the Butcher's Blade, an overwhelming smell of blood hit him. It weighed about ten pounds, not too heavy, and felt just right in his hands.
"Good stuff."
Looking at the Pig-faced Butcher lying at his feet, Wu Mei swung the blade down at it.
Crack
A strange crisp sound rang out as the Pig-faced Butcher's corpse shattered into countless ashes.
Wu Mei was stunned, looking at the pile of ashes. Just a moment ago, it was still a body of flesh and blood; how did it turn into ashes so quickly?
Confusion filled his eyes, but suddenly, his expression brightened as he saw something in the ashes, emitting a faint fluorescent glow.
Using the Butcher's Blade, he dug it out of the ashes and found it to be a card with the image of the butcher flickering on it.
In the image, the butcher was cooking, looking very excited—a bizarre feeling.
A blue attribute panel appeared before Wu Mei's eyes, displaying some information.
Skill Card: Culinary Arts
Level: Basic
Learning Requirements: None
Seeing this item, Wu Mei was completely dumbfounded: "What is this? How can there be skill cards like in a game? Is this place really an artificially created mysterious land?"
A sense of fear welled up in his heart. Such a bizarre thing could not possibly be naturally formed; it was clearly something produced by a certain system.
A fear of being manipulated spread through his mind, but after a moment, he suppressed it.
"Forget it, I won't think about it. Whether the being that created this place is a god or a demon is not important; at least it doesn't have much to do with me right now. What's most important is to stay alive."
Picking up the skill card, Wu Mei's attribute panel changed.
Skill Card: Culinary Arts
Level: Basic
Learning Requirements: None
Learn: Yes/No
Seeing the new row of data, Wu Mei directly chose "Yes."
The skill card exploded, turning into countless gray lights that rushed into Wu Mei's body.
This time there was no pain, and some information appeared in his mind. A peculiar feeling emerged within his body, letting him know how to cook.
At that moment, he looked at himself, and a new set of data appeared.

"The changes are significant; learned skills and possessed items are reflected on the attribute panel. It seems there are still many mysteries about this that haven't been revealed."
"Gurgle"
A sound of hunger came from Wu Mei's stomach, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
"It's been almost half a day, and I haven't had a bite to eat or drink. After several battles, I can't take it anymore."
"It seems I need to find something to eat quickly. What can I eat in here?"
With hunger in his eyes, he looked around, like a starving wolf with a green glow in its eyes.
After a quarter of an hour, Wu Mei searched the entire basement and found many items.
A box of mineral water, several tattered backpacks containing some seasonings, an iron pot, a diary, and some medicines and outdoor supplies, which obviously belonged to the human victims who were hung here. There was nothing else.
However, what puzzled Wu Mei was that the box of mineral water was still pure, without any bacteria or murkiness, and the data displayed on the attribute panel was normal, even marked with an "edible" bracket.
"It's been decades since this place was last used, yet this box of mineral water hasn't gone bad. How strange."
"But these things can't satisfy my hunger. I'll have to find a solution among those things." His gaze turned to the corpses hanging around the room.
Although the corpses were horrifying, in addition to the humanoid monsters and humans, there were also quite a few beast-type monsters.
Now for survival, Wu Mei had no choice but to select the edible corpses.
Soon he selected a wild boar-like corpse with two heads, which had no smell of decay and should be fresh.
He took it off the iron hook and placed the 300-pound beast on the ground. He bent over and picked up the butcher's knife.
He opened a bottle of mineral water, slowly poured it out, and cleaned the butcher's knife. The blood stains on it quickly became clean, leaving a snow-white blade.
After cleaning the knife, Wu Mei looked at the corpse of the creature that had died for an unknown amount of time and began to cut it up.
He aimed directly at the belly, where the muscles were soft, boneless, and easy to skin.
Perhaps because he had learned the skill card, he felt everything was familiar. According to the knowledge flashing in his mind and the strange familiar feeling in his body, he cut off a three-kilogram piece of meat in just a few minutes.
