[Newborn Ranger]: Increase the effect of your Ranger Badge by 1%
This is the effect of this title. For Marvin, this effect can only be said to be better than nothing. You know, when he took office as a thief, he was awarded the title of [Genius Criminal] because he perfectly completed the task of inauguration.
[Genius criminal]: All your thieves' own skills +10
This terrifying title, together with the agility trait [Flying the Wall], made Marvin different from other thieves at the beginning of his career, and walked very smoothly. The shortcomings of the thieves' lack of attack power in the early stage have also been made up to a certain extent.
You must know that in "Feinan Continent", thieves are very lacking in lethality in the early stage. They are more defined as explorers of an adventure team, experts in removing traps in dungeons, masters of opening treasure chests, and cold-blooded in melees. character of. If it weren't for the thieves' advanced profession [Assassin] which has a very terrifying instant killing power, many players who love thieves might have given up long ago.
Except for Marvin, who is very buggy at the beginning, most thieves can only play the role of experience babies in the team in the early stage. Occasionally opening a treasure chest and dismantling a trap doesn't help much. Many other professions can replace the role of rogues in the early stage, such as rangers and druids.
It is precisely because of this reason that Marvin gritted his teeth and gave up his most beloved thief in the choice of employment in this life. The thief's ability to steal and open locks can certainly make him some money, but his immediate priority is to improve his combat effectiveness, especially his frontal combat ability. In this regard, the so-called "panacea" ranger is indeed more suitable.
And one of the ranger's development routes is very similar to that of a thief, and it can eventually transition to [Master of the Night].
Everyone can only wear one title at the same time, and now Marvin has no choice but to choose to wear the newborn ranger.
…
Marvin also received a Junior Ranger badge after the Ranger Guild submitted that "letter of recommendation." Generally speaking, junior rangers have three kinds of badges to choose from, namely the wild wolf badge, the goshawk badge and the sika deer badge. The three badges have different effects—
[Wild Wolf Emblem]: Domesticated Beast +5
[Goshawk Emblem]: Ultra-distance vision +3
[Sika Deer Emblem]: Hide +9
The effect of the three badges is to directly improve the ranger's own skills, and among these three skills, the experienced Marvin quickly made a choice.
Ranger's [Hiding] skill is very powerful. In the wild, if you have more than 100 points of hiding, it is almost equal to the effect of the second-tier professional assassin's [Strong Stealth]. Although taming beasts and distance vision are also very practical skills, they are definitely not as important as hiding.
Hiding is as important to a ranger as stealth is to a rogue.
At the same time, after the success of the inaugural ranger, his HP increased by 11 points, and at the same time he gained a free attribute point, and 96 initial job skill points. His occupation column also becomes:
[Adventure Occupation: Level 1 Ranger (0/50)]
A little precious free attribute point was invested in agility without hesitation. The most important attributes of rangers are agility and intelligence. The former gives them agility and the latter gives them the ability to cast spells. The route Marvin took was that agility was more important than intelligence.
Free attribute points are very valuable. In addition to the point provided at the beginning of the job, you can get one free attribute point every time you upgrade two career levels.
And the 96 points of his own skill points were quickly squandered by him. Soon, the following items were added to his own skill points:
Hiding 41 (+9), Stealth 20, Spotting 35
Rangers can use weapons such as knives and bows, which is one of the hidden abilities of this class.
Therefore, Marvin's character attributes become:

"Finally I have a fighting profession." After leaving the Ranger Union, Marvin excitedly felt the active power in his body.
He felt energized, and his success in forging “recommendations” gave him a glimmer of hope that his own experience was still very helpful. You should know that among all the professions, only the ranger profession is obtained through the recommendation letter of the senior ranger, and there is no possibility of opportunism in the rest of the professions. By observing the behavior of the tramp, Marvin judged that the tramp was once a high-level ranger, and then used golden rum to kill him. This series of behaviors was not his own creation, but a ranger friend in his previous life. experience.
That guy is also a legendary character. When ordinary players were still struggling with the level 2 career advancement tasks, he had already brazenly attacked the level 3 career - [Forest Guardian]. Marvin also learned from him that the ranger profession actually has such a loophole. Letters of recommendation can be forged, as long as you get the badge of the high ranger.
The Ranger Union only recognized the recommendation letter but not the person, which gave Marvin the opportunity to take a shortcut.
The success of the inaugural Ranger also means that his experience can come in handy. Although he is not familiar with River Beach City, if he searched casually in his memory, there are still several ways to make money and quickly improve his strength—of course, if it was his original birthplace, the [Gem Bay] in the northeast, he would It's even more like a fish in water.
He still had 30 silver coins in his pocket, and after buying a blank machete in a blacksmith shop in the business district, he squandered the remaining wealth.
The attribute of the whiteboard machete is very poor, it only provides 2-5 attack power, which is barely enough for self-defense, but it is a bit difficult to kill monsters.
Now Marvin urgently needs to improve his strength, and of course, his wealth. He didn't forget his mission. Elder sister Anna was still waiting for him at the Lime Inn. This half-elf lady who was supposed to be a housekeeper had accompanied him since he was a child, and was a very important person in his heart.
It is a character who needs to protect with life.
The two entered River Beach City, and after Marvin lost his income, it was Anna who went to work for that mean-spirited uncle every day in exchange for some meager wages. If it weren't for Anna, Ma Wen would have been robbed of all his money by those local bastards, and ended up dying in the stinky ditch.
It can be said that Anna has been taking care of Marvin all along.
Now, it's time to make some changes.
Before the gate of River Beach City was closed, Marvin put the scimitar on his belt and quickly left the city.
…
The wilderness of Feinan Continent is a very dangerous place. Except for the avenues between city-states, deadly monsters may appear anywhere—even in theory, even the avenues that are regularly cleaned by the government will have terrifying human-eating creatures. As a little ranger with Marvin at level 1, let alone encountering an ogre or something, even a small group of goblins is enough for him to drink a pot.
However, near big cities, it is relatively safe because of the guards patrolling every day.
Besides, Marvin didn't go out of the city to kill monsters to upgrade, he went to make money.
Outside Hetan City, there is a big river called Songzi River, which turned forty miles downstream and formed a branch river called "White River". Marvin's territory, the White River Valley, is in the White River Basin.
The Songzi River stretches for thousands of miles, and becomes very gentle and open at the beach city, forming a large stretch of river beach.
The loess of the upper Gordon Plateau was washed down to form silt, which made the land here very fertile.
On the beach of the Songzi River, a small crab called [Blue Firefly Crab] occasionally appears. In the city's market, the price of this kind of crab has always been very high. If Ma Wen remembered correctly, the price of one blue firefly crab exceeded 20 silver coins.
Therefore, when he left the city in the middle of the night, he actually came to catch crabs.
Of course, the high value of blue firefly crabs has led to a lot of people catching crabs near the Songzi River beach, but their methods are very inefficient, and they can only wait on the sidelines or search blindly. Even if they search for a day, they may not be able to find one. Blue Firefly Crab. These guys are so small that they are easily overlooked during the day, let alone at night.
Therefore, the Songzi River beach at night is still very sparsely populated.
This is exactly what Marvin meant. He knew a technique for catching blue firefly crabs, which happened to have to be done at night.
It would be best if no one bothered him.
Soon, he arrived at his destination.
But at this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him!
"Is someone following me?"
Ma Wen's heart sank, he actually committed such a big taboo!
He is no longer that omnipotent master of the night, his current perception is only a pitiful 14 points, which is only slightly stronger than ordinary people, reaching the level of hearing and eyesight.
He was a bit paralyzed when he successfully became a ranger before, and he didn't pay attention to whether there was someone hiding behind him!
A figure quietly appeared, he was not tall, holding a dagger in his hand, looking at him jokingly.
This is a thief!
[Reconnaissance (35) skill is being activated... ]
[Passing relevant test...]
[Successful reconnaissance!]
The basic information of the thief immediately appeared in front of Marvin's eyes:
Level 5 civilian/level 3 thief, HP 42.
"My lord, it's not a good habit to go out of the city alone." The thief laughed and said, "Although you carry a knife, do you really think that thing can protect you?"
"It's an honor for you to die under the hands of our Akron gangsters, a useless nobleman."
At this time, a few shadows rushed over from the avenue not far away.
Ma Wen gritted his teeth in his heart: "Damn, there are helpers!?"
"The Akron gang? I have nothing against these people, why would they kill me?"
But now is obviously not the best time to think, he suddenly ran away without any warning, and his target was the grove by the river beach!
