Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 98 The Third Profession
"I finally understand why I didn't like Peppa Pig in the first place; this sister is really annoying."

Li Wei slowly turned around, and in the firelight of the fireplace, he saw Penny with her wet hair, looking at him with innocent eyes. She was quite clean—no, more like she was hygienic, which helped her resist the plague, because details determine success or failure…

Li Wei was lost in thought. He had to admit that this version of Penny was truly as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water—handsome!

"George, it's time to rest!"

Penny added that she squeezed right past him without any politeness.

Li Wei was speechless for a moment, and finally left dejectedly, because things were different now than when there was only one room and you could squeeze in through any crack.

There are vacant rooms available now.

Fila and her ex-lover Peter occupied room number two, while old John and Leon shared a room.

Clyde stayed in the last room, which only had a living room; that is, room number one was empty.

So now he either sleeps in the living room or he has to sleep with Clyde.

He can't squeeze into the room of a woman who isn't his fiancée when there's an empty room available. We still need to adhere to the most basic plot logic.

"Forget it, there's no need to take advantage of this." Li Wei was very rational. These were all veteran players, and they all had item cards. He couldn't afford to offend them.

At that moment, he didn't even intend to settle for Clyde anymore. He added some firewood to the fireplace, ate dinner, routinely whittled ten wooden arrows and a wooden spear, went out on night patrol, and completed his daily training.

Although it was tedious and tiring, he had gotten used to it.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Li Wei successfully obtained 120 points of logging experience. The family was as quiet as ever, with every family member busy from early morning to late at night, and some even not coming home for lunch.

It's not clear yet.

Until a message suddenly broke the peace of the evening.

[Family member Pete caught a large fish of one-star quality and donated it to the family, earning him seven contribution points.]

Wow, you've made a catch?

Following closely behind, the second and third pieces of information emerged, equally compelling.

Family member Fila collected one unit of one-star quality medicinal herbs and donated it to the family, earning her eight contribution points.

[Family member John hunted a 60-pound, one-star sika deer. He butchered it, skinned it, and tanned a complete deer hide, which he donated to the family, earning him 15 contribution points.]

This veteran player is truly unfathomable; it's only been three days!

Li Wei admired him, but didn't feel any pressure. He just continued to eat, practice, and sleep quietly.

Over the next three days, similar messages would occasionally appear, but they were mostly about Eddie Pete, John, and Fila.

Clyde, Leon, Penny, and Sophie remained quiet.

But it's obvious that they're preparing something big.

Clyde seems to be firing refractory bricks. Once that's done, the furnace temperature and durability of the small blast furnace will undoubtedly be improved, the quality of the molten steel produced will be better, and it will be easier to create one-star quality equipment.

Lyon was building arrow towers and occasionally helped fire refractory bricks.

Sophie appears to be digging dams and clearing waterways, which is undoubtedly necessary for transporting iron ore.

Penny, on the other hand, was busy cutting and sewing something.

On this day, Li Wei worked hard to gain 250 logging experience points and successfully obtained a one-star lumberjack card.

"Activate the one-star woodcutter card to obtain the third profession—woodcutter!"

As Li Wei confirmed it, the ordinary one-star woodcutter card transformed into faint starlight, flowing into his body as if it had magically granted him some kind of power.

At that moment, he even heard a cracking sound, as if some kind of bottleneck or limitation had been broken.

He seemed to be stepping into a new world. The next second, the three-star farmer card, the two-star hunter card, and the one-star lumberjack card reappeared from his body, swirling and overlapping each other, eventually becoming a triple overlap, not a fusion, but an overlap.

The three-star farmer card is at the bottom, the two-star hunter card is in the middle, and the one-star lumberjack card is at the top. In addition to the three cards, there seems to be an extra transparent card box, or something else. Anyway, Li Wei doesn't understand, he just feels that something is different.

The next moment, a series of messages appeared.

[Already bound to a one-star woodcutter card]

You have been promoted to apprentice woodcutter, your third profession. Your destiny is beginning to stabilize and undergo new changes.

[You have gained the following class talent: Your weapons deal an additional 10% damage to all woody plants and their corresponding artifacts. Your logging efficiency is increased. You have a chance to find valuable wood, and during the logging, pruning, and cutting processes, you can vaguely sense the breath of the trees. This allows you to improve the quality of semi-finished or finished wood products by 30%. In addition, this class also has a gathering advantage, with a slight increase in the efficiency of gathering mountain products and herbs, and a 15% increase in the chance of finding valuable mountain products and herbs.]

[Automatically gain 5 free attribute points]

[Friendly reminder: Since this is your third job card, its upgrade requirements will be slightly higher than the second job card. Upgrading a two-star Lumberjack card requires 500 Lumbering Experience or 600 Gathering Experience + 1 unit of Standard World Resources or 1 Standard Gold Coin]

[Friendly reminder: You can now check the stability of your destiny. You currently possess the Farmer, Hunter, and Woodcutter destiny, as detailed below.]

[Farmer Destiny: Stability 8. You have cultivated four acres of farmland and planted six acres, harvesting 520 kilograms of wheat, including 30 kilograms of one-star quality wheat. This shows that the stability level determines the amount of one-star quality or even higher quality grain you can obtain.]

[Hunter's Fate: Stability 35. You have hunted a total of 229 prey, killed 8 people, and effectively completed 240 daily training sessions. This means that the stability level determines the performance level of your hunter talent, similar to proficiency. For example, both hunters are bound to a two-star hunter card. A hunter who never engages in daily training and combat will be far superior to you, who consistently trains and participates in combat. The former might not even be able to hit the target within 20 meters, while you can dominate the battlefield. Or, in the simplest terms, fate stability is the level of effective utilization and understanding of the class card by the bound user.]

[Woodcutter's Fate: Stability 23. You have chopped down 324 trees, chopped 30 units of firewood, crafted 249 wooden spears, and gathered 18 units of wild vegetables. This shows that even rough and clumsy operations cannot stop the daily refinement. Diligence can make up for lack of talent, which is truly true.]

[Warning: Do not attempt to treat the Career Card as a tool. Although it is indeed a special tool that transcends your comprehension, integrating different civilizations and disciplines, please remember that the moment you activate and bind the Career Card, the extent to which this tool will grow in the future, and how it will be defined in the future, will be determined by you. In a sense, they truly can change your destiny.]

[Friendly reminder: You can still choose to remove your job card at any stage, retaining 50% of your Level 1 Awakening attributes while erasing all memories, and return to your hometown, provided you receive basic humanistic care.]

[Friendly reminder: This is a Peaceful and Orderly instance. If you are successfully killed by a scripted death vote and cannot be exempted, you will not be eliminated or killed, nor will you be subject to any penalty; you will simply enter the quest results page. However, if you are killed by native creatures in this world, you will lose one class card and have 10 random attribute points forcibly deducted, and then enter the quest results page.]

-

So that's how it is. Li Wei was very satisfied, especially with the stability of his destiny. He had previously felt that the two-star hunter card wasn't like a cheat code that would allow him to acquire so-called talent without lifting a finger. That's why he persisted in practicing every day. It seems that the effect is really good. He will continue to persist in the future.

Next, after a slight hesitation, Li Wei first used two free attribute points to increase his strength attribute to 15, and then used three more free attribute points to increase his stamina attribute to 200 points in one go.

In that instant, Li Wei had the illusion that he was being burned by raging fire and thrown into the Eight Trigrams Furnace to be refined into a golden elixir.

He felt like he was about to explode, his blood was surging, his heart was pounding, and his eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and even every capillary and every inch of skin became unusually active and sensitive. In the darkness, he felt as if some forbidden power was breaking through!
It was as if his genetic code had been suddenly broken!
hum!
Three professional cards flew out, hovered above his head, and then disappeared. In just a few breaths, everything vanished like an illusion.

He returned to normal, but inexplicably gained more strength and hunger within his body, though not the kind of hunger that drives one mad; it was very mysterious.

no doubt,

He succeeded!

As he expected, 200 points of stamina successfully triggered the first level of awakening.

Lines of golden subtitles appeared silently.

Stamina: 200 (Level 1 Awakening)

[Congratulations! One of your attributes has undergone a qualitative change, completing the first level of awakening. You have gained additional awakening talent bonuses. Your stamina has become more enduring and resilient. External changes, whether in scorching heat or freezing cold, whether due to hunger or intense emotional fluctuations, will not significantly reduce your stamina. When you engage in high-intensity physical activity, the stamina consumed will be kept at a stable level. You are truly a master of stamina management.]

[Friendly reminder: Even if you fail and are stripped of all your class cards, returning to your original world, half of your awakened level 1 attributes will be retained. This is a humane consideration.]

[Friendly reminder: Because you have awakened two basic attributes, you have automatically become a trainee warrior.]

[Note: There is no corresponding class card for the Warrior class, but once you advance to Master Warrior, you will be eligible to forge your own Warrior class card.]

[Note: Warrior classes are typically divided into Apprentice (Level 1 Awakening x2), Pro (Level 1 Awakening x3), Senior (Level 1 Awakening in all attributes), Expert (Level 2 Awakening in all attributes), Master (Level 3 Awakening in all attributes), Legendary (Level 4 Awakening in all attributes), Epic (Level 5 Awakening in all attributes), Immortal (Level 6 Awakening in all attributes), and Demigod (Level 7 Awakening in all attributes)]

[Friendly reminder: Warriors are required to respond to the summons of a six-star lord once a year and serve in the Chaotic Slaughter Battlefield. This is mandatory and cannot be exempted. In return, the six-star lord will protect you and allow you to go to the Orderly Peace World to complete daily development tasks, title acquisition tasks, and resource plundering tasks to improve yourself.]

[Friendly reminder: Once you have three three-star class cards, you can try applying for a three-star lord quest. If successful, you will have your own small world territory, just like a knight who has been knighted.]
