Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 123 Egg's Clumsy Moves and Leon's Overbearing Act
"Alright! Clyde, this month you will be in charge of the construction, commissioning, and daily operation and maintenance of the steel furnace. You will also serve as the blacksmith on duty. You will be responsible for the repair of tools and the preparation of weapons needed by the family members. In addition, if possible, please try to make chainmail."

"Yes, please rest assured, sir!"

Clyde obeyed the order obediently, as it was part of his profession.

"Leon! You are responsible for cooperating with Clyde, with him as the main person in charge, and for completing the first arrow tower. As for the second arrow tower, it depends on your time. If you can finish building it this month, that would be excellent. If you can't finish it, don't rush it, so as not to overwork yourself."

"Don't worry, brother, I won't let you down." Leon stood up, almost moved to tears.

"Sophie!"

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

"You'll be in charge of iron ore mining and road construction this month. I'll have my sister come with you. Also, Uncle John, you're an excellent hunter, and mining is hard work. I'm worried about leaving the two girls with you, so please come along. And Uncle Pete—"

"Sir, please wait! I have something to say!"

Before Li Wei could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Eddie Britt. Britt slowly stood up, bowed respectfully, and then took out a blue intelligence trading card.

"My lord, please allow me to interrupt you. I apologize for my rudeness, but the situation is urgent. I have just received an urgent report on important intelligence regarding Kahe City and the Snow Mountain Witch. Therefore, I have reason to believe that we should launch a special emergency mission this month!"

Peter's words sounded so real, he looked so serious, and Li Wei hadn't expected it to be done this way!

No, the braised egg's antics didn't end there.

He directly activated the information card, and all the information he had purchased with a total of 2000 random experience points, a one-star chef card, a tailor card, and ten gold coins was made public for free.

Once all the information was made public, everyone knew, and then a new plot was automatically triggered, with lines of information appearing in front of everyone because of the emergency!

[A family member, Pete, the former head of the fishing guild in Carhe City, received top-secret intelligence. He chose to reveal it directly at a family meeting rather than handing it over to the head of the family for a decision privately. Although this violated the hierarchy, it was understandable given the urgency of the situation!]

The family mission storyline has been significantly altered; the completion objectives for the family missions may be changed!

The most urgent task is to find out the situation in Kahe City and the Snow Mountain Witch. Family member Pete has volunteered to go and investigate!

[The family's special task for this month has been forcibly issued. The head of the family will not receive any corresponding benefits at the end of the month, but the head of the family will not be held liable if any accident occurs to family member Pete during the task.]

If family member Pete successfully completes this reconnaissance mission, he will receive 100 family contribution points. Note that additional contributions are not included in this calculation.

-

Good heavens, that was a brilliant shot! Even Li Wei was amazed and wanted to sigh to the heavens. Pete, from now on you're the leader of the four great free agents, right? You free agents are really hard to manage!

This is very bad. Although he doesn't need to take responsibility, Eddie Bradley's shady actions could accelerate the plot.

When he returns, or dies, the family camp will likely have to face the Snow Mountain Witch or the lord's army of Kah City.

Therefore, we need to prepare in advance.

"Uncle Pete, please be very careful on your journey. If you encounter any danger, please remember to prioritize your own safety. If anything happens, you can come back and we can all help you together!"

Li Wei said a few touching words, and that was the end of it.

Now everyone except him and Fila has a mission.

Just then, Li Wei was about to ask Fila about her family's food reserves when he saw Leon suddenly take out a pale gold prop card.

[Family member Leon has used a three-star item card – Stealing the Show! For the next three minutes, he will begin his performance and is eligible to initiate a family vote at the family meeting, the outcome of which cannot be interfered with by the head of the household!]

Grass!
Samsung item card, is this kid that rich?

"You're awesome! It seems I was right. Leon is the professional player who needs to complete the title quest, and he's really determined to get it." Leon smiled at Li Wei, then looked at Fila, "Mom, the winter wheat is growing well this year. It should be ready for harvest next month, right?"

“Yes,” Fila replied kindly.

"That's wonderful! White bread baked with new wheat is absolutely delicious. Back in Kähr Castle, my brother, sister, and I ate it three times a day, and we never got tired of it."

"Over the past year, I've been living a life of constant displacement, and all I've ever dreamed of is eating a piece of white bread. Although I don't have the heart to ask you for that, my brother, sister, and I, along with others, will be doing very heavy work next month, so I hope you can guarantee at least two servings of white bread and two servings of mushroom soup every day."

"Of course, Mom, Sophie, my sister, and I will help you when we're too busy."

"Mom, do you think this is okay?"

“Sure, but that would consume some of our high-quality wheat. This wheat could have been used as seed; it’s an important family asset, belonging to everyone. So, we’ll have to see what everyone thinks.” Fira looked at Leon with affection, her cooperation seamless.

But as soon as those words were spoken, a line of information appeared before everyone.

With the tacit approval of the family patriarch George, Fila, a family member, applied for 500 kilograms of one-star quality wheat to make white bread to fulfill her younger brother Leon's small wish. Due to the excessive amount and the fact that it involved the daily food ration of two loaves of white bread per day, such a luxurious supply, while helping to improve the overall strength and work efficiency of the family members, would have a significant impact on the food supply for the entire year. Therefore, a vote by all family members was necessary.

[Friendly reminder: Food rations can be revised at the monthly family meeting, but this requires a proposal from the head of the household and the consent of more than half of the family members. Of course, the head of the household can also enforce a new food ration plan the following month, but this will cost 50 family contribution points, as it may cause dissatisfaction among all family members!]

-

Damn, what the hell is Ang doing here?

He wants to use up the entire year's food ration! Damn it, you little brat who can only stay for six months, you dare to touch my entire year's food ration?

Li Wei refused without hesitation.

Currently, we only have two mu of winter wheat and two mu of spring wheat. We can still plant four mu of summer wheat, which is enough time. Our family only has eight mu of land a year. The rest can only be used to grow some beans, pumpkins, and the like.

Furthermore, crop rotation must be considered. Even the Samsung Farmer Card isn't a panacea; once soil fertility is severely depleted, crops simply won't grow.

But Li Wei was just one person, and his voice carried little weight. The other family members each had their own plans. They were just temporary visitors staying for six months, so naturally they wanted to get whatever benefits they could first before thinking about anything else.

In the blink of an eye, the voting results were in: seven votes in favor and one vote against, and it passed.

Everyone likes quick success and instant benefits; who doesn't?

Originally, it took six months to get one free attribute point, but now it's only two months to farm them all! Isn't that awesome?
A moment later, Leon's item card expired, but the decision already made couldn't be reversed. This was the precious item card that was used in this situation.

Li Wei had already calmed down. Looking at the smiling Fila, he smiled and said, "Mom, the enemy may launch an attack at any time next month, and it won't be a regular attack. The plague from the black-robed witch is terrible. So, I hope you will collect at least ten units of herbs next month. In addition to herbs for preventing and treating the plague, you also need to prepare herbs for stopping bleeding and healing wounds."

"In addition, after the winter wheat is harvested, it needs to be dried, threshed, and stored. These tasks may require your help. In addition, there are three meals a day. I am a little worried that you will not be able to manage. How about this, let Sophie or Lyon help you?"

"Hehe, I can manage, I can, I can. George, you don't need to worry about me. It's the beginning of a family business, everyone is very tired. As your mother, how can I bear to watch you work so hard and do nothing?" Fila said emotionally, but what she was really thinking was unknown. In any case, Li Wei would never give her another chance to make herbal soup to earn some extra money.

Although this will broaden Fila's scope of work and increase her workload, from preparing three meals a day to managing the warehouse, collecting herbs, and being a family doctor, she will definitely be extremely busy and will need to earn at least 60 contribution points per month. She will also earn more loot points from clearing levels, but so what? She will never be able to compete for the position of head of the household!
At this moment, Li Wei continued to speak leisurely, it was time for his monthly main quest.

"Next month, I will be in charge of harvesting the winter wheat, as well as the subsequent plowing, irrigation, and crop rotation. The two acres of winter wheat will be rotated. In addition, I will cultivate two more acres of farmland and complete the sowing. In the fall, we will have six acres of spring wheat to harvest."

"Sir, forgive my bluntness, but it's already summer. Is it too late to sow spring wheat now? Why insist on crop rotation? You know our family's situation. In the face of life and death, what does it matter if we waste the fertility of two acres of land?"

Sophie suddenly spoke up at this moment, daring to interrupt and question Li Wei's words!

His family is one thing, or in the previous version when the difficulty was lower and the requirements were not so strict, it could be ignored. But now, you are just a servant, do you have the right to speak?
Especially at a family meeting, such a solemn occasion, if you were in bed, nothing might happen.

NG! Absolutely NG!
