Chapter 62: Sis is here! (1)

Cutting down trees was light work.

Jake's woodman proficiency was second to his archery, and he also received a subclass!

It was so simple to receive a class on the mainland.

There were two main prerequisites for that—proficiency and professional NPC. The former could be picked up by mimicking the class, making the latter more demanding.

NPC had to be willing to pass down a class.

His experience also played an important role—the better the NPC, the better the class's grade.

NPCs could make a bank on this privilege.

Jake was quite lucky in this regard because Viktor's library of knowledge and experience had given him an epic subclass—Woodman(Epic).

It naturally increased Jake's strength and endurance against wood-type weapons and skills.

The first skill Jake received from his first subclass was Woodman's Recognition(Common).

Just like Richard's Survival Three Kit, Woodman's Recognition pointed out the trees' vital points to Jake, allowing him to tear through their bark and wood much more easily, increasing his productive time.

This skill also allowed Jake to see through the wood's properties.

Because it was a subclass, Woodman relied more on Jake's proficiency to unlock other skills.

It meant that Jake couldn't just level up with his legendary archer class to unlock other skills—he also needed to spend time in the woods to get them.

That said, Jake's legendary class had already extended toward Woodman.

When Jake held the recurve bow he'd received from his master, the combination of two classes had given him a system message, which he naturally called a cheat.

[The Wooden Recurve Bow—Wood(Western Acacia)(35% mana)(Can endure up to 450 STR and DEX Stat)]

[Mary November: Hey, lil bro! Your sis has come, so you had better come out and greet her!]

Jake's face twisted.

Viktor glanced at him and momentarily saw himself in him.

It was quite an odd feeling...

"I have to clock out for a while..." Jake said, calling out his pets to his side.

Intrigued by his countenance, Viktor asked, "Family's calling you?"

"Yeah... my sis wants to spend time with me here... I don't know what to do with her since the level gap is like a chasm. She'll insta kill anything with her magic." Jake explained. "I'd rather cut down trees or help with your work..."

Although the game system had yet to note it, Jake's relationship level with Viktor suddenly surged by more than a few percent.

It was because he could relate to him.

He also saw that Jake was hard-working and genuine in whatever he was doing...

They were pretty similar.

"Need a hand?" Viktor smirked. "Get her here and have her spend time with you in the woods. I have a spare ax for her to work with."

Jake's eyes twinkled, "Seriously?"

"Yeah, then we will have her deal with the old hag," Viktor's sneer widened.

Jake laughed, "I mean... she's been hyped to know that there's a chance to spend time with me here, and it's been such a long time that I think she deserves to have me in the capital. Still, I will bring her here tomorrow to deal with the imperial mage. I think she can do it, actually."

"It's a deal," Viktor smiled.

Jake reciprocated his smile.

These two now looked much more familiar and closer.
