Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 120 First Month-End Summary of the New Season
"Holy crap, what information is this? It's so valuable!"

Peter's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He hesitated for a long time, then looked up at Li Wei and suddenly said, "Brother, I'm out of gold coins. I only have one professional card left, but I also have two thousand spare experience points. Would that be enough? Also, could you please help me pay the appraisal fee? I really don't have any money left. I can make up for it with other information later."

I'll do it!

Is there even a bargaining involved?

Li Wei thought about it for a moment and nodded, because he still made a good profit from this transaction.

He paid a two-gold-coin appraisal fee, while Eggman Pete traded him two thousand random experience points and a one-star tailor card.

At this moment, he seemed quite emotional, glanced at Li Wei, and then said:

"Actually, I need enough gold coins to buy equipment in Kahe City. Little brother, the equipment at the base is too expensive. You must make the most of the newbie quests. This is the only chance for all players to get a full set of endgame equipment in one go, and it's also a chance to quickly obtain two bronze tokens."

"What do you mean by graduation gear?" Li Wei asked curiously.

"A helmet, leather armor, and leather boots, all of one-star quality; a ranged one-star weapon, or a one-star shield; and a one-star melee weapon. All of these together make a five-piece set. Five one-star quality weapons are what we call an elementary school graduation set. Two-star quality weapons are what we usually call a middle school graduation set."

"So, can I get a Black Iron quality completion token during the beginner quest period?" Li Wei asked again.

"Hehe, what are you thinking? Impossible. When your plunder points are about to break 20, which means you're about to get the Black Iron quality clearance token, the higher-ups will force you to complete the mission."

"Why?" Li Wei was stunned. There was such a rule? No wonder the settlement was suddenly completed last time. He thought it was because of Thomas's title mission.

"Why? Of course, it's because this is a peaceful and lawful world that doesn't allow excessive plundering. At most, we can only obtain complete bronze tokens or incomplete bronze tokens from such mission worlds, but we are absolutely not allowed to obtain tokens of black iron quality. For those, we can only go to the chaotic and bloody world."

"Young man, let me give you a piece of advice: the pass token is very important, but don't rush to get three Bronze cards, because that will put you in the highest difficulty Chaotic Killing Battlefield at this stage. You need to leave time to farm a powerful title, at least 100 standard gold coins, and five one-star resource cards. Otherwise, you won't be able to bring resources like one-star wheat into the Chaotic Killing Battlefield."

"In addition, your second profession is hunter. Hunters can also have hunting pets. You need to spend 100 gold coins to buy a one-star pet card, and then enter the peaceful and orderly mission world to catch a very intelligent pet. But the premise is that you have the opportunity to hunt. If the head of the family always assigns you tasks such as mining, logging, and carrying, then you are useless. This is also the reason why you must compete for the position of head of the family."

"Oh, right, when you've accumulated enough loot points for your second bronze pass token, the Ministry of the Interior will force you to settle your account again. If you choose to leave at that time, the Ministry of the Interior will give you a one-star resource card. But if you don't leave, you'll enter the third stage of the beginner mission, a miniature, controllable chaotic killing battlefield. You won't have many opportunities to farm and develop anymore. The idea of ​​peacefully farming resources and developing like before is out of the question."

"The resources you accumulate in the early stages can be destroyed overnight. For example, our family camp might be destroyed in a war, and the survivors would have to flee and migrate. Before you started this beginner mission, was your family on the run? Was there a powerful player who led you to escape danger, but then he died from his injuries? That's basically the situation."

"However, if you withstand such an attack and such difficulty, you may be able to break into the rookie leaderboard and even become the rookie king! You may even be able to rebuild a city of Kah and recreate the glorious moment of your ancestors."

"But that's too difficult. It's said that we haven't had a new king for over a hundred years. This newbie mission looks simple, but in reality, through repeated settlements, it eliminates other newbie players who might have the same goal as you, or even those who might have been attracted and submitted to you by your personal charm and abilities. This leaves you all alone. We veterans will leave after six months. You'll always have to compete with the veterans, and each time you have to start from scratch. You can't accumulate a significant advantage."

"Of course, if you are truly one in a million new king, this kind of test is nothing. When you get the third bronze token, you will be a three-star lord and can directly accept lord missions to build your own territory and small world."

"Well, brother, since I've said so much, can I ask you one more question? Have you ever been to a snow-capped mountain?"

Li Wei shook her head, "I didn't have time, and I didn't dare to go."

"Haha!" Peter chuckled, thought for a moment, and said, "Young man, you're a good guy. I'll tell you the mission background information we saw before entering this mission for free. This background information is actually just three pictures and a brief introduction of the role we each play. You already know the latter, so I don't need to tell you."

"The first picture is of the city of Kah, shrouded in blood-red light. A vast expanse of black crows circles overhead, like dark clouds obscuring the sky. Inside the city, a group of well-equipped knights are guarding a carriage, seemingly breaking out or doing something. They are surrounded by packs of wild dogs."

"The second picture shows a young woman in a white robe in the middle of a majestic snow-capped mountain. She is facing away from the camera and seems to be chanting or praying, or perhaps casting a spell."

"The third picture is of our family camp. There is no main character in the picture, but there are corpses everywhere and blood flowing like a river. It seems to be under attack."

"In short, that's the background. You can think about it when you have time. Good luck."

Having said that, Peter Parker, the man with the hard-boiled egg, dropped the conspiracy and quickly left.

At this moment, Li Wei's mind stirred, and the 7 gold coins in his hand turned into golden mist and disappeared, bringing his asset balance to 15 standard gold coins and 3 silver coins. The experience gained from trading boiled eggs was quite mixed.

800 fishing experience points, 500 hunting experience points, 150 farming experience points, 150 logging experience points, 150 gathering experience points, 50 looting experience points, and 200 dismantling experience points.

At this point, combined with Li Wei's original experience, he now has 2300 hunting experience points, 800 fishing experience points, 350 farming experience points, 250 logging experience points, 150 gathering experience points, 86 scavenging experience points, and 232 dismantling experience points.

Overall, seasoned players certainly have no shortage of experience.

At this moment, a ray of light flowed in Li Wei's hand, instantly transforming into a one-star fisherman card.

This is because he did not awaken and activate the Fisherman profession. As long as he has more than 500 fishing experience points, it will automatically condense into a tradable one-star Fisherman card.

Conversely, even with 2300 hunting experience points, he will not generate a hunter card.

Putting away the Fisherman Card, Li Wei didn't try to merge it with the Chef Card or the Tailor Card. Instead, he continued to wait. There was still some time before evening, and he was quite looking forward to Lyon, Clyde, or Sophie coming to him to trade information.

Unfortunately, by evening, neither Lyon nor his two companions had come to make the deal. Perhaps they weren't very interested in the information about Caher City, or perhaps Eddie Pete would share it with them, but that was unlikely.

Since the latter doesn't have a title mission, he'll definitely be going to Kahe City next month. I just don't know what makes him think he can do whatever he wants.
In short, the month was over. Li Wei hurriedly returned to the camp before dinner and handed the last kilogram of salt to Fila in front of everyone before eating dinner!

At this moment, no one seemed too surprised. It was like watching a child playing tricks; all they felt was pampering.

Seriously, this is such a low-level tactic. Have they lost their intelligence?

Do you think they can't guess? Even if they can't, do you think we wouldn't share information? A one-star conspiracy card isn't that expensive. That bitch Sophie has already sold your information all over the place, didn't she know?
Until a few lines of information appeared!

[Family member George brought back one kilogram of salt, successfully completing his monthly task. He earned 10 family contribution points, bringing his total to 109. (This information is public.)]

[George's total family contribution has reached 109 points, making him the first family elder in this mission cycle. He will be exempt from all ordinary plot-driven deaths from now on. Impeachment can only be initiated if he makes a serious mistake at work, causing a significant loss of at least 10 standard gold coins to the family property. In addition, the impeacher needs to spend 100 contribution points. Other members will have a chance to gain 2 to 10 contribution points when they vote in favor or against.]

Immunization against impeachment requires 100 contribution points.

[Friendly reminder: If the impeachment is successful, unless you have special items or a special family contribution title, you will be subject to a six-month period of silence, during which you will be unable to run for head of the household or become a family elder (the above information has been made public)]

At that moment, the room fell silent. Everyone's expression was grim. Fila's body even trembled violently, whether from anger or something else, it was hard to tell!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough, pretending to have tripped, and when she looked up again, she was all smiles, kind and loving, with maternal love shining in her eyes.

Then came old John, his brow furrowed, his face filled with astonishment.

Pete, on the other hand, remained calm, as if he had already guessed it.

With so much intelligence at our disposal, how could we not have gained anything else?

Penny, on the other hand, was very curious and looked at Li Wei thoughtfully.

As for Leon, he was taken aback but quickly returned to normal. Sophie, on the other hand, had a momentary urge to transform into a lioness and bite off Li Wei's head. Her anger even distorted her beautiful face slightly. Fortunately, this was not a family meeting, or she would have messed up.

Only Clyde glanced at Li Wei calmly from beginning to end, showing great composure.

Li Wei took in everything. He had orchestrated this whole thing for this moment. The way each person reacted to the unexpected event could roughly indicate their overall strength and how difficult they were to deal with. It could also be interpreted as who frequently encountered unexpected events, that is, who was on the front lines and who was in the logistics department.

Tried and tested!
