Chapter 447: 17. Rank’s Secret (Two in One)_4

Before in seeing Ramasitia, Fisher had already harbored doubts, wondering if the God worshiped by the Whale-man Species really existed. Then, could it be possible that the Mother Goddess existed too?

Fisher now felt that it was possible that the Mother Goddess did exist, and it was this benevolent Mother Goddess who had bestowed Magic upon humans, allowing them from the lowest Rank to leap up and achieve the dominant situation of today.

Thinking this, he suddenly looked at himself and asked Emhardt,

"Speaking of which, where do you think my Rank would be approximately?"

"Where?"

Emhardt sized Fisher up, then took a walk around before he said,

"Just based on Constitution, seventh or eighth rank, I suppose. It’s very likely that one of your ancestors was a demi-human, higher than the Dragon-man on the Rank hierarchy. After so many generations of diluting bloodlines, it’s utterly absurd that you still retain the Constitution of an adult Dragon-man..."

"But if we add in the other relics and Magic you possess, it’s hard to say. Ever since humans began using Magic, these tools for calculating Rank aren’t used anymore; I’m not very proficient in it myself."

"I’ve heard that humans used to have a specialized formula, but I haven’t recorded it. Perhaps your race felt that period was too humiliating, or some incident caused those things to be lost. It’s been thousands of years; these things are common."

But as he spoke, Emhardt’s expression changed again, and his tone became somewhat sarcastic,

"However, remember what I said before? Though Reproduction Rank and Guardian Rank mostly overlap, there are still some differences. Like you, for instance, I feel like your Reproduction Rank is much higher than your Guardian Rank. Probably any species from the Extraordinary Rank could reproduce with you..."

Now it was Fisher’s turn to look a bit strange. Elliog had tested his Reproduction Rank; she indeed mentioned it was very high, but how did this damned book know?

"Wait, how do you know?"

"Heh, I stay in the same room as you every morning, how could I not know? My advice is, you better find a suitable Lady soon. If this continues, I feel like you might go mad..."

"...My advice is, don’t casually give advice to others."

Fisher’s face darkened. Just as he reached out to grab Emhardt, who was flying around, Emhardt had already run off far away. Fisher didn’t bother chasing after him, instead continuing to ponder over this newly acquired notion and the issues it brought up.

For he had suddenly found a loophole in Emhardt’s words; Emhardt had said earlier that humans placed their average Rank on a Warning Tablet, but Fisher felt this was not the case.

If it was based on average placement, then it shouldn’t have placed the human Rank at the "zero" base level. In the primitive mathematics of ancient humans, the concept of negative numbers didn’t exist. When ancient humans placed humans at the zero digit, it indicated they never considered any Rank lower than zero.

So, the true meaning indicated on the Warning Tablet should be "the lowest Rank of a racial adult individual."

According to this classification, his current Constitution should be just slightly above the lowest Rank of the Dragon-man Species, no wonder he felt distinctly less powerful facing the ’cheat-like’ adult Dragon-man Species, Rafael.

Another issue he found was that he seemed to have discovered the pattern of bonuses from the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual.

From the several demi-humans studied so far, he had gained close to 30 points in Constitution. He distinctly felt that the beginning studies on Renie and Rafael rendered the most obvious increase in Physical Strength, even giving him a feeling of being extremely energetic; but after that, the increment gradually became less noticeable.

Could this also mean that the further one progresses in Rank, the greater the difference becomes? Perhaps this was because ancient humans seldom interacted with high-ranked demi-humans, and thus couldn’t clearly distinguish the traits of high-ranked species?

However, other added points didn’t exhibit such a trait, such as his reproductive ability points, which showed no decreasing trend. He just found himself increasingly fond of Ladies...

Not considering time and cost, the highest Ring Fisher could currently engrave by himself was about the Nine Ring. Combining his Eighth Rank Constitution, conservatively estimating, could he match up to enemies of Tenth to Eleventh Rank?

But Fisher felt it was still not too reliable; after all, it was all what the ancient humans played with. The present world, influenced by Magic, steam engines, and relics, among others, was not easy to assess, not to mention there were an unspecified number of Completion Manuals lying before Fisher, which made judging Life Ranks too divergent.

Fisher looked at his palms, suddenly struck by a thought.

Since the old system could no longer be used, why not construct a new Rank system by himself based on these factors?
