Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 338 The Forest Ranger

"Hmm, which common title should we choose?"

Li Wei pondered for a moment. Based on his past knowledge and experience, compatibility with fate, career card, and other such things was very important.

First of all, the title "Trap Master" is related to Hunter cards.

Secondly, the Hunter Card and the Woodcutter Card complement each other and have some overlap. Add a Mountain Dweller Card and a Pharmacist Card, and you have almost enough cards to play a game of mahjong.

Therefore, Li Wei chose a four-star Lumberjack card to avoid internal friction with the Trap Master during the fusion process.

Therefore, it is only natural to add a common title for fusion, which is also the best way to avoid internal friction.

"The title of Bear Hunter is more about strength, so it's definitely not suitable."

"The dog butcher is a more agile system, which is somewhat suitable, but it doesn't quite reach a higher level of compatibility."

"As for the Tracker title, it's more focused on the perception system, and the Trap Master title also requires a very high level of perception. So, should we merge them?"

To be honest, Li Wei was a little reluctant to give it up. It was +2 Perception, but the Perception attribute seemed to have a ceiling, and you couldn't just keep adding points to it.

For example, the two Nitans he killed today should both have +4 or +5 perception. Logically speaking, a five-star cross-border expert wouldn't be lacking in these two free attribute points. Wouldn't +6 perception be better?
However, after hesitating for a while, Li Wei finally decided to merge the Tracker title.

As he confirmed this, he felt a jolt at the center of his forehead, and the four destiny matrices resonated automatically, as if something closely related to him had been changed.

The next moment, strands of golden light flowed out from the destiny matrix, gathering in Li Wei's palm to form an incomparably dazzling point of light. Then it exploded, and his vision went blank, but he felt as if he were wandering in an endless void, until a few lines of information silently passed by.

[You have completed the fusion of your destiny title and obtained a semi-finished code name. Note: A semi-finished code name needs a corresponding event to anchor it. For example, the code name of Saint George the Dragon Slayer is because he completed the dragon-slaying event. Only when the corresponding event is actually completed can the code name be completed.]

Your unfinished product's codename is—Forest Ranger.

[The current codename is already bound and cannot be changed or canceled. It can be stacked with ordinary titles, but only one can be stacked with a kill title, but only one can be stacked with a kill title.]

[Note: The current code name can be upgraded six times consecutively, with each upgrade granting a 50% stat increase.]

[Note: The current codename automatically includes all the buffs from the Trap Master.]

[Note: The current codename is incomplete and cannot grant active buffs, but it can grant passive buffs. These passive buffs will never disappear and will not be increased or decreased due to enhancements.]

[Passive Buff 1: Your Hunter Fate +5, currently 65]

[Passive Buff 2: Your Lumberjack Fate +5, currently at 60]

[Passive Buff 3: Your Scout Fate +5, currently 23]

[A task with a code name has been generated. Please choose one of the following tasks and complete it.]

[1. Please cut down a total of 1000 large trees of two stars or higher quality, and plant 10000 trees, ensuring that one-fifth of them survive and grow into one-star trees. Currently, 65% has been completed.]

Second, hunt five five-star beasts and process the materials.

Third, participate in the process of changing and improving the ecological environment of a region, and ultimately complete the change, covering an area of ​​no less than one hundred square kilometers.

[Fourth, taming or training two five-star hunting pets, currently 50% complete]

[Friendly reminder: After returning to your base, please go to the mission hall in any major city to participate in the mission and look for opportunities to improve your codename during the mission.]

[Friendly reminder: The codename mission has no time limit, no location limit, and no limit on the change of mission world, but each change of mission world will forcibly reduce the completion rate by 10%]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a codename, even if it's only a half-finished one. This means your authority within the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens has been further increased. You will unlock some more profound knowledge or secrets, which will usually be revealed to you through friendly tips.]

Congratulations! Your Hunter and Woodcutter Fate have both surpassed level 60, your Perception has been permanently increased by 1. Your current normal Perception is +4 (without title bonus), and you are 2 points away from reaching the limit.

[Friendly reminder: Perception is a special hidden attribute with limitations; it cannot be increased indefinitely. Therefore, choosing the right class card and the right path of destiny is crucial.]

[For example: Because of your Hunter class, your Perception cap is increased by 1]

Because of your woodcutter profession, your perception limit has increased by 1.

[Due to your rare scout class, your perception cap has been increased by 2.]

[Because you have changed to the second-tier Dark Ranger, your perception limit has increased by 2.]

Because of your farming profession, your Perception +0.

If you also possess a Miner-related class card, your Perception cap will decrease by 1.

[Note: Upgrading a regular Hunter or Lumberjack class card to Rare, or to a Tier 3 Dark Ranger, will increase the maximum Perception by 1 point.]

After carefully reading through the long string of information, Li Weizai couldn't help but sigh inwardly that his growth rate was still too fast.

He'd heard Night Owl mention it before, as had the second-in-command of the Ministry of the Interior, and even Thomas and Leon had said that in the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens, you absolutely couldn't survive without a codename. But he really hadn't had the chance to do those small missions, and he still hadn't gotten a codename. He realized that codenames were so important, and that even perception had its limits.

No wonder Li Yue's perception was only +4, no wonder Scarface's perception was only +2, and no wonder those two nuns' perception wasn't too outrageous either.

So it turns out there's a limit.

In this light, the Hunter and Lumberjack cards really need to be strengthened again. Of course, for now, +6 Perception is already powerful enough.

Because he needs to upgrade his scout card to 3 stars, which will give him five more free attribute points.

So it's not a big problem.

However, it's time to put the issue of officially recognizing the forest rangers' code names on the agenda.

There are four types of tasks in total, and the first and fourth types are pretty good.

The first type of task should have been left in the beginner's task world. At that time, in order to farm the woodcutter's fate and to help Leon build special buildings, he desperately cut down trees, but at the same time, he also desperately planted trees in the forest. In particular, the trees he planted were of high quality and quantity, with a very high survival rate and full access to sunlight, water, and nutrients.

So even though 10% of the completion rate was deducted due to the change of the mission world, it's still not bad.

That was two years ago. Two years is enough time for a sapling to grow into a star-level tree.

Moreover, he was willing to bet that the completion rate of this task would gradually increase on its own, so it shouldn't be too difficult.

Alternatively, he can try to complete the fourth task and create a five-star hunting pet.

At this moment, Li Wei immediately thought of the four-star warhorse that his brother Ni Ren had given him. It was only one star away from being five-star. Maybe it would work?
Well, we need to find Second Aunt for this, because it seems that Liang Yuzhi did something to help Ah Dai grow and evolve.

Next, Li Wei put the Ranger codename aside and used a Black Iron Token to upgrade his rare Scout Card to three stars.

[You have bound a rare Samsung Scout Card, and you have become a Samsung Scout.]

Your Agility attribute will automatically increase by 5.

[You have acquired six scout talents, omitted]

You have gained five free attribute points.

Your current scout destiny number is 24.

[Due to the buffs from the Scout Card, your Hunter Fate has increased to 66, and your Lumberjack Fate has increased to 61.]

[Due to the buffs from the Hunter and Woodcutter fates, your Scout fate has increased to 25.]

[Because this is your fourth profession, and a rare one at that, its future advancement requirements will be even more difficult. You will need to accumulate 10000 reconnaissance experience points, a silver-quality clearance token, and 1000 standard gold coins to advance to a four-star scout.]

-

As expected, the rare scout card was really powerful. At this moment, Li Wei took the opportunity to check his overall attributes.

Farmer's destiny number 22, Hunter's destiny number 66, Woodcutter's destiny number 61, Scout's destiny number 25.
It presents a state of 4+4+3+3.

Normal health: 300; normal stamina: 440; normal strength: 40; normal agility: 42; normal defense: 29; normal mental strength: 15; normal perception: +4.
With the equipment bonuses and the Flame Duke title bonus, it becomes +400 HP, +540 Stamina, +45 Strength, +51 Agility, +52 Defense, +24 Spirit, and +5 Perception.
It's quite luxurious.

Without hesitation, Li Wei consumed two free attribute points to increase his normal perception to 5, which, including the title, would be the highest +6.

The remaining three free attribute points will be added to defense, increasing it from 29 to 32. In the future, he only needs to increase defense to 40 to reach level 2 awakening in all attributes.

However, it's still a bit short of achieving full-attribute level 3 awakening.

At this moment, Li Wei couldn't help but think of that scruffy, burly man. He was definitely a genuine, top-tier master-level warrior, a powerful being with all attributes at level three awakening. Yet, he was only a five-star warrior, which shows that the higher you go, the harder it is to improve.

He now has four professions, and it's become so complicated just to farm various fates, rare items, and code names.

Moreover, for a five-star player, that's five class cards; for a six-star player, that's six class cards.

This absolutely defies the common sense of mathematics...

Thinking this, Li Wei's stomach was already rumbling, but fortunately, Javier had already thoughtfully asked the cook to prepare a feast for him.

After a satisfying meal, I slept soundly through the night.

The next morning, Liang Yuzhi burst into Li Wei's room, yanked off his blanket, and grabbed him. "Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, you really are my precious nephew! Hurry up, I rushed over here overnight. Don't worry about that side. I just want to say a few words to you. I'll leave right away after that, otherwise my heart will probably suffocate!"

This second aunt was too enthusiastic and too unreliable. Li Wei was helpless but could understand.

"Speak, Second Aunt, what do you want to ask?"

"How did you kill those two barbarians? They were five-star cross-border cultivators!" Liang Yuzhi asked excitedly, her eyes sparkling. If they weren't her own people, she probably would have been so angry she would have lost her composure.
