Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 210 The Universal Gold Card
Good guy!
The All-Purpose Gold Card!

Li Wei praised inwardly and made his choice without hesitation: to enhance the Tracker title.

The enhancement of perception is extremely important. Without perception, he would not have been able to determine the true vital point of the four-star rat king. Even if he had blown its head off with the Bloodthirsty Spear, it would not have died.

Magical zombies are no joke!

If he hadn't misjudged this point, he wouldn't have prioritized protecting the farmland and failed to finish off the Rat King.

But actually, finishing it off wouldn't have been effective, as it was nearly 400 meters away. At that time, unless you could hit the Rat King's heart, you wouldn't have been able to kill it even if you shot its head off.

At that very moment, the all-powerful gold card vanished. A mysterious magical fluctuation seemed to circulate around Li Weizhou, but it only lasted for a second before returning to normal.

At the same time, the information appeared silently.

[Your Tracker title has been enhanced by half a level, bringing the total enhancement to one level. The current effect when equipped is: Perception +2, but the cost is increased by 100% from the current level, approximately 5 Stamina and 1 Spirit per second. Use with caution.]

[After wearing it, your maximum perception range will expand to fifty meters. Your vision and hearing will be greatly enhanced, and you will be able to sense different energy radiation more acutely, especially life energy radiation. In this state, most targets with lower perception than you will expose their weaknesses in front of you, and you may even be able to see the malice or goodwill in their hearts.]

You'll be better at communicating with birds and beasts. You can see a clearer picture through your hunting pet and coordinate more precisely and efficiently. The maximum distance you can control your hunting pet will increase to five kilometers in a straight line, provided your physical and mental strength can handle it.

[Note: Although you have not yet awakened your mental power attribute, it does not mean that it does not exist.]

[Note: Your class card's destiny does not affect the Perception attribute, so the cost will increase exponentially. Once you awaken the Perception attribute, the cost will be halved.]

-

I go?

Therefore, you can get a full level of enhancement by strengthening half a level twice in a row, which is really cost-effective.

This consumption has once again become a major problem.

Li Wei estimated that if he were to wear the Tracker title again, he could only last for a maximum of 50 seconds in a completely still state. In a moving state, or even in a combat state, he could only last for 10 seconds, which would be his limit.

But in reality, this is already quite domineering.

Often, he only needs a fleeting glance, wearing it for a second before switching it off, and the effect is naturally different.

Well, in the future, we still need to find a way to obtain a universal gold card and continue to strengthen it; that's the right way to go.

I just don't know what the drop rate of the Universal Gold Card is.

Does the item only drop after two players have been eaten?

Li Wei didn't continue thinking about it. She quickly glanced at her other gains and thought they were pretty good.

Although his family contribution was maxed out, he gained a whopping 7000 hunting experience points, bringing his total hunting experience to 13850. In addition, after this battle, his Hunter Fate increased by 2 points, reaching 49 points, and he is just one step away from obtaining the special attribute Perception.

Of course, now is not the time to relax, because there is still food scattered all over the place that needs to be processed, otherwise it is hard to say what other mutated creatures will be attracted by the smell of blood.

Running along, Li Wei carried the corpses of the mutated rats back to the scavenging camp building.

There are a total of 230 mutated rats, each of which can yield five pounds of meat, which is more than a thousand pounds of meat.

The food crisis was resolved immediately.

Interestingly, after the four-star rat king was killed, its corpse automatically dissipated and rotted, even losing its tough golden fur, while the corpses of these mutated rats remained remarkably fresh.

Does this mean they aren't considered magical zombies?
By the same token, is there still a chance to save some humans who are not deeply affected by magical radiation?

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Li Wei drew his three-star dagger and began to dismantle the mutated rats, completely disregarding whether doing so was disrespectful to the three-star dagger.

He needs to deal with it quickly, lest maggots infest it.

To be honest, Li Wei isn't very good at skinning and butchering. Although he has practiced before, he is still far from being a professional butcher or chef.

There are so many sample materials this time; if one isn't handled well, there will be another.

Quality doesn't matter, speed is the only requirement.

He worked tirelessly until noon. Even though Li Wei was at his peak before, he was now exhausted, dizzy, and had a sore back. His hands were barely able to obey his commands. But he still managed to successfully decompose all the mutated rats.

And successfully gained 2300 decomposition experience points, which, together with the 400 decomposition experience points he already had, brought the total to 2700.

Since you can get a Butcher Card by collecting 500 Decomposition Experience Points, he ended up with only 200 Decomposition Experience Points left, but he got a total of five Butcher Cards.

With the addition of the three craftsman cards he had previously acquired, his inventory had increased significantly. Sure enough, in the later stages of the game, experience points became much easier to obtain.

Li Wei felt that if he were to bind and activate the Butcher Card now, his Destiny Rank would be at least 5.

It's a pity.

However, his fourth profession has already been decided, and it must be a scout. If he were to unlock a fifth profession in the future, it wouldn't be a profession like Butcher Card.

"Caw caw!" Suddenly, a large number of crows came from outside. Well, they're quite considerate, only arriving now.

Li Wei then stuffed the rat heads, entrails, and other debris into a bag, went downstairs, and threw it onto an open ground some distance away. Immediately, several bold and large crows landed more than ten meters away, looking at it provocatively.

They're so smug, but catching them might be a bit difficult. Should we switch to the Tracker title and try to communicate with them?
Let's not complicate things further.

Li Wei continued to move the next batch. Today, everyone can share in the good luck. Everyone who sees this will get a share and everyone who sees this will have a full belly.

But I hope everyone can know when to stop, not be too greedy, and not covet his rat meat.

After several trips back and forth, I finally managed to clean up the clutter.

Li Wei then washed his hands, lit the firewood, and began to smoke and roast the meat. He had learned these methods and techniques during the novice quests, and now he could do them just as well.

After finishing all that, he lay down on the ground, too exhausted to even speak.

The outside seemed quite lively, with large crows, vultures, magpies, and other mutated creatures all arriving, and battles even broke out between the two sides.

But Li Wei really had no interest in paying attention.

It's really great to have a safe campsite.

Gradually, Li Wei drifted off to sleep. When he woke up again, it was already evening. It was still incredibly noisy outside. No, it seemed that the rooftop had been taken over by giant crows.

Li Wei first checked the entrance to the rooftop, then the main door on the second floor and the small door on the third floor. Everything was fine, with no changes. Only then did he push open the rooftop door.

It was indeed very noisy outside! There were clumps of bird droppings everywhere.

Damn, you've eaten and drunk your fill and you're still lingering here, aren't you?

Li Wei quickly looked at the three small wheat fields. Fortunately, these hairy beasts hadn't touched them yet.

The battle was still ongoing.

All that could be seen was a flock of crows cawing loudly, circling in mid-air, feathers flying everywhere, a scene of utter carnage. So, now that the Four-Star Rat King is gone, you all want to be the new king?
Li Weile was happy to watch the show.

Seven or eight huge vultures suddenly appeared in the sky. The crows were not afraid of these big creatures at all. Taking advantage of their small size and agility, they rushed up and pecked and scratched, bullying the vultures until they had no chance to fight back.

Oh, and there were also dozens of magpies mixed in; they actually joined forces with the flock of crows.

You're all cousins, right?
The battle raged on until the last rays of dawn faded. The vultures flew away, as did the crows and magpies, leaving behind a trail of feathers and the carcasses of some crows and magpies. Oh—there was even a survivor!

Li Wei's gaze swept across the area and spotted an injured crow huddled in a crevice of the ruins, its wing likely injured and unable to fly.

Li Wei wouldn't let such a pet that fell from the sky go to waste. He immediately captured it and gained some experience in raising and hunting pets.

At night, he gathered more firewood and lit a campfire in the fourth-floor kitchen that was several times larger than during the day, and smoked and dried meat all night.

He then took the trembling crow to the first floor.

The third, fourth, and fifth floors were uninhabitable; the smoke permeated every corner, killing countless insects.

Fortunately, it was nighttime; otherwise, if it had been daytime, such a spectacular scene might have been spotted by enemies in the distance.

The next morning, Li Wei brought back four buckets of water. The campfire on the fourth floor had long been extinguished and the smoke had dissipated, but the smoky smell was still strong.

But it doesn't matter.

Li Wei skillfully started a fire and cooked. Breakfast consisted of wild vegetable soup and dried roasted meat, a good combination of meat and vegetables.

After breakfast, he remembered the injured crow he had picked up the night before; he didn't know where it had gone.

Good guy,
Li Wei searched around but couldn't find it. It's probably hiding somewhere again. That's normal. How could a crow he just picked up be anything special or unique?

Does that mean he's born to be the protagonist?
Suanqiu, he has a lot on his plate.

He immediately went downstairs to clean up the battlefield on the first floor. The four-star mutated rat king had caused great damage to the place, and it would be difficult to use it later if it wasn't cleaned up.

After tidying up, Li Wei suddenly discovered a rather peculiar location. This place should have been the basement passage next to the stairs, but it had been sealed off with concrete.

The past month had been quite busy, and with a lot of rooms and clutter on the first floor, Li Wei didn't pay much attention to the basement, even though she knew there was one.

Now, thanks to that four-star rat, this place has been created.

"Hmm, this must have been closed for at least ten years. The construction seems to be proceeding quite smoothly."

"But under normal circumstances, the basement of such a five-story building would probably be very large. Why would you seal off the entrance to the basement?"

Li Wei immediately thought of the mutated four-star rat king. Was it here ten years ago? Was it in the early stages of mutation, and may it have killed someone, causing panic and leading people to seal off this place?

As a result, more than ten years have passed, and the town has become a ruin. Did the four-star rat king also build an underground kingdom in the ground?
