Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 296 Second-Level Awakening
After eating and drinking his fill, Li Wei lay down on the bed and felt the precious energy from the food slowly flowing through his body, constantly washing away his physical strength—it was quite exaggerated.

But that's not surprising, since they're all three-star quality food.

Li Wei then took out the eight two-star attribute cards, which were three defense cards, three strength cards, and two life cards.

After thinking for a moment, he took out a black iron token, broke it down into two bronze tokens, and made two stamina cards.

At this point, he only needs one two-star life card, one two-star stamina card, and one two-star agility card to max out his attribute cards at this level.

Of course, you can ignore the mental strength and perception attributes, as attribute cards for these two attributes are very difficult to obtain.

Next, Li Wei activated two two-star life cards. One card could add 30 points to his life. After activating both cards, his life attribute reached 270 points, which was 30 points away from the second level of awakening.

Yes, the first level of life awakening is 100 points, and the second level of awakening is 300 points, with an interval of 20 attribute points.

The same applies to other attributes.

"Cuckoo!"

His stomach, which had just been full, was now hungry again. Fortunately, he was in excellent condition and didn't rush to activate other attribute cards. Instead, he started exercising in his room. It wasn't until the next meal that he activated two more stamina cards, raising his stamina from 350 to 410 points, instantly triggering the second level of awakening.

Lines of golden, dazzling, and clearly more sophisticated subtitles appeared.

Stamina: 400 (Level 2 Awakening)

[Congratulations! One of your attributes has undergone another qualitative change, completing the second level of awakening. You have gained additional awakening talent bonuses. Your stamina has become more enduring and resilient. External changes, whether it's scorching heat or freezing cold, hunger, intense emotional fluctuations, or even a certain degree of injury or poisoning, will not significantly reduce your stamina. When you engage in high-intensity physical exertion, the stamina consumed will be controlled at a very stable level. You are now a master of stamina management.]

[Note: Physical strength includes endurance; your tolerance for abnormal statuses is higher.]

[Friendly reminder: A long stamina bar is not a license for recklessness. It's a good habit to carry enough food with you and stop to rest and replenish your food when your stamina bar drops to one-fifth.]

[Friendly reminder: Even if you fail and are stripped of all your class cards, returning to your original world, one-quarter of your awakened secondary attributes will be retained. This is a gesture of human compassion towards the ordinary people around you.]

Not bad.

Over the next three days, Li Wei prioritized using three two-star defense cards and then used three power cards.

Because the defense card was a bit too powerful, it took him two days to slowly master its use.

Ultimately, his defense increased to 29 points, but at the same time, it also gave him an extra 30 points of stamina, 30 points of health, 2 points of strength, and 1 point of agility.

That's right, it's that abnormal, causing his life attribute to awaken to level two.

When he used those three power cards again, he naturally raised his strength attribute to 40 points, thus reaching the second level of awakening.

At this point, he has triggered the second-level awakening of three attributes, in addition to agility and defense.

If you also wear the title of Flame Baron, along with the boots that grant +2 Agility and the crested armor that grants +18 Defense, the effect will be quite remarkable.

Health +400, Stamina +540, Strength +45, Agility +41, Defense +52 (Critical Hit +30), Spirit +20, Perception +4.
At that moment, a thought suddenly struck Li Wei, and the destiny matrix of the four profession cards emerged from between his eyebrows, giving rise to a sense of enlightenment.

[Friendly reminder: Since you already possess a rare Scout card and have triggered Level 1 Awakening for all attributes, and at least three attributes have triggered Level 2 Awakening, from this moment on, you are a Tier 1 (Experienced) Dark Ranger.]

[Note: There is no corresponding class card for the Ranger class. However, once you advance to Master Ranger (because its standard is all attributes at level 3 awakening, it is usually also called Tier 3 Dark Ranger), you will be eligible to forge your own Ranger class card.]

[Note: Hidden attributes generated due to the improvement of one's destiny are not subject to this restriction, such as mental strength and perception. They will not awaken because they are awakened attributes in themselves.]

[Active Talent: Full Fate Resonance, all attributes +1 for 30 seconds, attack damage dealt during this period is increased by 200%, currently activated, each activation requires 100 Stamina and 5 Spirit. If a Fate Resonance weapon is used under this state, the special effect of the Fate Resonance weapon will be triggered.]

[Passive Talent: Shadow Lurker - You can better adjust your aura and reduce your life radiation field. When you choose to track prey, you will not be easily detected by the prey you are tracking.]

[Note: This effect can also be applied to other scenarios. For example, when you choose to conceal your presence and lie in the shadows, the chance of being discovered by enemies will be greatly reduced.]

[Note: Under this state, using a Fate Resonance weapon will increase the chance of triggering Fate Resonance by 50%]

At this moment, Li Wei breathed a long sigh of relief. He finally saw a glimpse of a strong person within himself.

At the same time, I also understood why I felt that Liang Yuzhi's rare scholar card was more powerful than my own rare scout card. The reason was here.

Next, after a moment's thought, Li Wei broke down the remaining nine black iron tokens into eighteen bronze tokens. He then used the prestige system to reward eighteen free citizens who had performed exceptionally well and had a solid foundation over the past period, allowing them to successfully upgrade their first profession to level 3. In this way, they would only need a short time to reach 3+2+2, which means that they would have obtained thirty-five free attribute points, and on average, they would reach the level of first-level awakening of three attributes.

That is, a standard professional soldier.

At this point, Li Wei's camp had already handed over 57 universal gold cards, bringing the number of Level 3 free citizens to 31. Among them, Benjamin, Santiago, Javier, and Mark could be considered super soldiers among the free citizens, having performed exceptionally well in the battles of the past few days. They were very eye-catching and had a very high chance of winning as long as they didn't encounter Level 5 magical zombies or mutated creatures.

If they do not go on long expeditions, but rely on the city walls of their camps and can fight in an organized manner, their role is becoming increasingly important.

It's worth mentioning that over the past few days, Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue have taken turns patrolling the small town camp in the west. The radiation storm hasn't ended yet, but the situation on his side has been completely stabilized.

Once this month is over, and if Li Wei succeeds in his raid on the camp, these 800-plus free people will surely bring further development to the scavenging camp.

This is practically a guaranteed victory. The next thing to consider is the development of the territory and its future potential.

The only downside is that when he leaves the camp without a Trailblazer Card, killing him won't drop a Universal Gold Card.

However, Li Wei could use the universal gold card along the way.

"Hmm—it seems there's still one thing I haven't done."

Li Wei smiled slightly. He had been so busy adding attributes these past few days that he almost forgot he hadn't drawn the legacy left by Old John and Annie yet.

"Thank you both for your contributions to the scavenging camp. Although you have unfortunately passed away, your voices and smiles will remain in my heart forever. I will miss you. Thank you."

Li Weizhen then bowed solemnly, praying for better luck.

Perhaps it was fate, but Li Wei actually drew an empty three-star pet card from Old John's inheritance. Wow!

Old John was truly his dearest friend and relative, and he was indeed the second uncle he had once respected the most!

This wonderful gift is something my nephew will never forget!
Li Weizhen wished she could kowtow to Old John.

Seriously, but what is Old John planning to do with the three-star pet card?

Is he also going to upgrade his hunting pet?

That's right. He's a seasoned, experienced, and resilient four-star hunter; he's definitely not lacking in this area.

It's just a pity.

Next, Li Wei drew Annie's legacy again. This time it was quite ordinary. He only drew a resource card, which contained some common resources, such as five units of three-star premium cured meat and five three-star life potions that could restore 200 health points and 500 stamina points within half an hour.

There are also five doses of two-star blood resistance drugs.

Tsk tsk, no wonder he came from the medical department.

Thank you so much!
It's a pity about Li Guishan; he died too far away to draw a prize.

Next, Li Wei began to train day and night in his room. After his attributes improved significantly, he became very prone to losing control. Now that he couldn't do any work, he could only train.

And so, on the seventh day of this month, Li Wei finally sensed the aura of Ah Dai's rebirth; it had successfully advanced.

With a thought, Ah Dai transformed into a ray of light and appeared in Li Wei's hand from the rooftop. Earlier, Liang Yuzhi had thrown it onto the rooftop again, seemingly to allow it to better absorb magical particles.

But this guy looks like he's gotten even bigger; he could probably fit three adult crows in his body now.

Fortunately, his core characteristic of being shifty-eyed and sneaky has never changed.

Aside from that, why is there no trace of the cold, ravenous aura? Where is Ice Heart? Did you take her out?

Li Wei rubbed Ah Dai's head, rubbing it in all sorts of ways, but it was still the same glutton it always was, not changed at all, especially that disdainful little look in its eyes. Okay, sorry, Brother Dai, I forgot you're not a cat, you're a bird...

"Hey bro, do you like this? It's a Samsung, for my new home."

Li Wei proudly took out the three-star pet card, but Ah Dai rolled his eyes, turned his head away, and looked down on it. Damn, Ah Dai, you're getting cocky—wait, let me see your stats.

At this moment, Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine; he could already foresee that his wallet was about to suffer a major hemorrhage.

You haven't already become a five-star pet, have you?

Well, just what I feared most has come to pass.

Five stars!

It really is five stars!
