Chapter 1438 - 1337: Dual-Class as Dark Ranger

Holy Vine Central Village, still bustling with activity. Da Fei was feeling conflicted and uncertain about the next step.

Just then, the third elder appeared: "Warrior! Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Da Fei hurriedly stepped forward, "Have the three elders made any breakthroughs?"

The third elder handed back the Dark Secret Book to Da Fei and said conceptually, "Reading this book has been immensely beneficial to us!"

Damn! I was asking if there have been any breakthroughs on my problem! Da Fei urged, "Can I learn this book, elders?"

Only then did the third elder come to his senses and said solemnly, "Warrior, could you tell us how you, as a human, managed to take on the Ranger profession? Under normal circumstances, only Elves, who are naturally attuned to nature, can learn it."

So it’s indeed different across regions; the server information varies? Da Fei had no choice but to explain again, "Ranger is a vast profession system, divided into the power of nature system and the Hate System. The former, of course, is only for Elves, but the latter doesn’t necessarily have to be elves. I gained my Ranger profession through accumulating hate, and it’s not related to the power of nature at all, so my Ranger only knows these two limited Hate System skills."

The third elder suddenly understood, "No wonder you’re a warrior. Every time we encounter you, our knowledge gets overturned. It’s wonderful to come out and fight with a warrior like you."

Hahaha, I’ve heard similar words countless times and never get tired of it! Da Fei chuckled, "Elder, you’re too kind!"

However, the third elder sighed, "If that’s the case, I’m afraid, warrior, you can’t fully become a Dark Ranger."

What the hell! Bad news! Da Fei hurriedly said, "The book’s usage conditions clearly stated that a Ranger could learn it, right?"

The third elder nodded, "That’s correct, so you can still change your profession and gain the +1 knowledge bonus for each level of the Dark Ranger. However, you won’t be able to learn any of the skills in the Secret Book, which is similar to being unable to learn the natural system skills of a Ranger; it’s ultimately due to racial physiological differences."

Da Fei was shocked, "So you’re saying that switching to this profession just gives me a few dozen knowledge points?"

The third elder nodded, "Exactly, but rest assured, your two hate skills will remain, and they won’t conflict with the Dark Ranger skills, nor will your Sentinel profession."

So that’s how it is; as long as there is no conflict, gaining several dozen additional knowledge points on the Ranger base is beneficial, and since Junior Monk gives an extra defense point for every 5 knowledge or Magic Power, that’s almost ten free Defense points. Is this worth it? Damn! Learning it may not be worthwhile, but selling this Secret Book could bring a fortune!

Just then, the elder sighed again, "But rest assured, based on our research on this book, the Dark Ranger and Dark Druid should also be new professions, not as ancient and refined as the Ranger or Druid professions, so new things can be continuously added. The fact that a warrior can’t learn the book’s skills doesn’t mean you can’t comprehend or create your own. We have faith in you."

Another emerging profession? I like it! Da Fei couldn’t help but smile, "So, based on the elder’s research, what skills could I create?"

"Skills, huh?" The three elders stroked their beards and glanced at the mushroom garden thriving by the lakeside, "Warrior, do you know the Lord System skill ’Accounting Skill,’ including the sub-skills Farm Development and Orchard Development?"

(Note: --Accounting Skill: Increases territory’s monthly income by up to 3%. Each skill level increases income by an additional 3%. Sub-skills such as "Farm Development," "Mine Development," "Orchard Development," "Fishery Development," "Market Development," etc., can further randomly increase facility revenue and output. Lords or Deputy City Lords possessing this skill must be in their territory more than 50% of the time for it to be effective.)

Da Fei’s brow furrowed, then he quickly opened the skill list. Accounting Skill—Master Level! This is a prerequisite skill for becoming a Military Transporter. I’ve always learned it early on, even though it’s rarely used. As for Farm and Orchard Development, I haven’t learned those yet, but it’s no big deal. In the past, I lacked Skill Points, but now I have plenty. I’ll learn them!

--System Prompt: You spent 2 Skill Points to learn the Accounting Skill sub-skills "Orchard Development" and "Farm Development."

Da Fei promptly replied, "I know them!"

The third elder nodded, "We believe that by growing mushrooms, the warrior has a high chance of developing a combination skill of the Dark Ranger profession and the Accounting Skill sub-skill. Since we aren’t sure whether these mushrooms belong to a farm or orchard, or both, we recommend you have both sub-skills! We’ll use Miss Elena’s term and name this skill Mushroom Breeding."

--System Prompt: You have obtained information about Mushroom Breeding!

Da Fei was shocked, more information about Mushroom Breeding? Wait, not ’more’! Da Fei quickly flipped through the event log to find the information obtained from Elena: "--System Prompt: You have obtained information about the Mushroom Breeding Skill!"

One is a skill, and one is an art! What’s the difference?

Da Fei hurriedly asked, "Elders, Miss Elena’s term is Mushroom Breeding Skill, but your term is Mushroom Breeding Art. They’re not the same concept, right?"

The third elder laughed heartily, "Of course they’re not the same concept! Miss Elena’s Mushroom Breeding Skill is a life skill, while Mushroom Breeding Art is a hero skill, further enhancing the effects of life skills and representing the highest level of existence."

Da Fei suddenly understood, "I see!"

Da Fei remembered something else, "But isn’t Miss Elena not a Dark Ranger? Would she comprehend Mushroom Breeding Art after learning Mushroom Breeding Skill?"

The third elder pondered, "Miss Elena is an Elf, possessing the innate ability to sense the power of nature. If she successfully comprehends Mushroom Breeding Art, then—" Here, the third elder chuckled, "What do you think will happen, warrior?"

Damn, testing my understanding, aren’t you! Is this a reverse deduction from skill to profession? Da Fei, without a second thought, said, "Then Miss Elena might directly comprehend the Dark Ranger profession?"

The third elder chuckled, "Anything is possible, especially since Dark Ranger is an imperfect profession, making it easier to comprehend! So, warrior, keep growing those mushrooms. We also have to continue tending to the Wine Pool."

Am I really going to prove the Great Dao by growing mushrooms? Da Fei exclaimed joyfully, "Take your time with your work, elders!"

There’s nothing left to say now. Anything still unclear will be asked when Crow God Ann Su wakes up. Da Fei pulled out the textbook and gave it a pat!

--System Prompt: You have used the Dark Secret Book. Your Ranger side profession successfully changed to Dark Ranger side profession! You gained an additional +46 knowledge points! Your Junior Monk Meditation Golden Body Skill grants a bonus of 8 extra defense points. (To be continued.
