Four Major Attributes, Twenty-Four Passive Skills (Part 1) [Seeking Favorites and Recommendations]

Zong Shen rested his chin in his hand.

He continued to ponder.

The two most urgent matters currently laid out before him.

The first was gathering resources.

The second was exploring the surrounding environment.

The location of his territory was an open plain.

The grass was lush, and in the thickest areas, it could even reach above his knees.

In addition, there were scattered trees, shrubs, and various stones and colorful mineral deposits.

These were the "resources" that Zong Shen could gather.

However, apart from this, Zong Shen knew nothing about what kind of produce or dangers existed in the surrounding area.

The arrival of Colby now undoubtedly solved this problem perfectly.

He could serve as both a warrior and a scout to explore the path ahead.

The speed of the giant wolf between his legs reached 5.

It was 1 point faster than Zong Shen's old travel horse.

At this moment, those three silly farmers had already retrieved their tools.

Upon seeing Zong Shen summon the wolf cavalryman, they worked even harder...

Zong Shen thought for a moment.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and said to Colby.

"Colby, I am announcing your first mission."

"Please explore the surroundings of the territory and report back to me regarding any nearby produce, peculiar areas, or dangers."

"You must return to the territory before dark."

Upon hearing this, Colby did not say much.

He simply made a gesture of covering his chest with one fist toward Zong Shen.

"Your command is my direction."

"Go, I look forward to your good news."

Zong Shen returned the gesture.

He realized that the Wolf Cavalry had their own habits and beliefs; they could not be treated as emotionless NPCs.

After Colby finished speaking, he mounted his giant wolf and left the lord's courtyard.

His speed increased rapidly as the giant wolf broke into a full gallop, moving no slower than an average horse.

Zong Shen watched Colby depart.

At this moment, Er Gou and Gou Dan had also returned with the first batch of gathered resources.

The two simple-minded farmers each carried a small tree.

Each of them also held a large stone as they walked into the courtyard.

The moment they entered the courtyard.

The small trees and stones transformed into miniature cube shapes and were sucked into the territory's storage box.

At the same time, two notifications appeared in the bottom right corner of his vision.

[Wood +2]

[Stone +2]

This batch of resources had taken half an hour to gather.

"Too slow..."

Zong Shen shook his head.

He was severely short-handed.

By now, he had checked almost every function.

He had gained a general understanding of this wondrous lord's world.

The only system function he had yet to check was the [Personal] option.

Recalling the various attributes and flashy skills added by each choice during his background selection, he decided to take a look.

He would also allocate his unspent attribute points while he was at it.

After all, even a tiny increase in strength was better than nothing.

Judging by the wolf he had just killed, his physical constitution had already been enhanced.

At the very least, in his previous life, it would have been impossible for him to move with such agility while carrying a shield and a one-handed sword, and wearing leather armor and boots.

With a thought, the system interface appeared.

Zong Shen opened the [Personal] option.

Two sub-options appeared before him.

[Lord Profile], [Passive Skills]

He opened the Lord Profile first.

Immediately, his attributes were displayed on the light screen.

Zong Shen took a look, and all four major basic attributes had seen significant improvements.

The effects of each attribute were within his expectations.

He did not add points immediately.

Instead, he returned to the previous menu option.

He opened [Passive Skills].

The light screen refreshed once more, filling his field of vision completely.

Zong Shen felt dazzled and could only examine them one by one.

[Strength Type]

①[Ironflesh: 1]

[Each point increases maximum health by 10 (Personal Skill)]

②[Power Strike: 4]

[Each point increases melee damage by 8% (Personal Skill)]

③[Power Throw: 0]

[Each point increases throwing damage by 10% (Personal Skill)]

④[Power Draw: 0]

[Allows the lord to use more powerful bows, each point increases bow damage by 14%, maximum level cannot exceed the bow's level plus four (Personal Skill)]

Seeing this, Zong Shen had a clear idea in his mind.

There were a total of four strength skills.

They were mainly for increasing the lord's combat ability and survivability.

They covered bonuses ranging from melee weapons to various ranged weapons.

He silently committed these strength-type passive skills to memory.

He lowered his gaze and continued to examine the rest.

[Agility Type]

①[Weapon Master: 2]

[Allows weapon proficiency to increase faster and raises the cap for weapon proficiency, each level increases the cap by 60 points (Personal Skill)]

)]

③[Athletics: 0]

[Increases running speed (Personal Skill)]

④[Riding: 2]

[Allows for riding better mounts, increases riding speed and maneuverability (Personal Skill)]

⑤[Horse Archery: 0]

[Reduces accuracy and damage penalties when firing arrows or throwing weapons from horseback (Personal Skill)]

⑥[Looting: 0]

[Increases the quantity of loot obtained by 10% per point (Party Skill)]

There are a total of six Agility-type passive skills, five of which are personal skills, and one is a party skill.

They can enhance defensive capabilities, weapon proficiency, movement speed, and even allow for riding better mounts or engaging in mounted combat.

It is likewise a very important attribute.

Seeing this, Zong Shen was already feeling a bit dizzy and lightheaded.

The setting of this world was a bit too complex and rigorous.

Every attribute and every skill had a different function.

Zong Shen stretched his back; after all, since these attributes concerned his own development, he could only rub his eyes and continue reading.
