Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 125 Two-Star Wheat
now,

Li Wei stood beside the wheat field, closed his eyes, and was completely focused and relaxed. He didn't even care about being robbed of red envelopes; it was probably a matter of mindset.

He values ​​the feeling more than the gains at this moment.

Because this was the wheat field he planted himself, and he participated in the entire process. From earlier last year, he used broken shovel fragments to cultivate, irrigate, turn the soil, sow seeds, weed, and take care of it bit by bit. The feeling was different after going through the whole process, especially since all the seeds were of one-star quality. This feeling was much stronger than that of an ordinary wheat field.

He could even feel his three-star farmer card breathing, beating, and pulsating; the entire wheat field seemed to breathe and share his fate in the end!
This is the effect of the Samsung Farmer Card.

Oh, but the premise is that Li Wei really had to participate in all the important steps from scratch, from clearing land to sowing seeds, watering, and weeding.

Otherwise, if another three-star farmer were brought in, it definitely wouldn't have the same effect; he was that certain.

"We can start harvesting tomorrow, but we estimate that we will lose 5% to 10% of the maturity. Some ears of wheat that could have grown to two-star quality will only be fixed at one-star, and some ears of wheat that could have grown to one-star quality will only be ordinary wheat."

"However, we must take into account that it is now summer. It may be sunny in the morning, but it may be pouring rain in the afternoon. To be honest, it has been a blessing from God that it has not rained for the past few days. We cannot be too greedy."

Li Wei glanced back and saw that the seven of them, like the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan, were each holding a sickle and pretending to admire the moon on the city wall.

At this point, if a cloud drifts by or a few drops of rain fall, the harvest must begin.

Who knows what kind of weird prop cards that bastard Leon might pull out this time.

Taking a deep breath, Li Wei made a final decision: she really couldn't wait any longer.

The rest of the night passed without sleep until dawn, when a ray of golden sunlight shone down, creating a truly beautiful, cloudless day.

At this point, the family members left with regret. Alas, what a pity, such a great opportunity to grab red envelopes!

At this moment, Li Wei didn't care what others thought. Although he hadn't slept all night, his energy and spirit were excellent, and his physical strength was maintained at 190 points.

When that ray of sunlight shone on the golden waves of wheat, it was as if he had discovered a new world. He could spot all the two-star quality ears of wheat in the field at a glance.

While others can only rely on luck, he can pinpoint targets precisely because he doesn't have a professional card.

It turns out that his job as a farmer can be this awesome.

If you don't open for business for a year, you can live off it for a whole year when you do!
Let's start harvesting!
At this moment, Li Wei was like a great general in Musou mode, riding Red Hare, wielding a long sword, amidst billowing dust, invincible! One strike, one kill.

Yes, prioritize harvesting the wheat ears of two-star quality.

No one can be left behind, nor will any be.

They cut from one end of the field to the other, from one acre to another, truly making a bloody in-and-out operation.

When the last two-star wheat ear was put into the bag, as expected, the news of the harvest had already arrived.

[George, a family member, successfully harvested 50 kilograms of two-star quality wheat seeds from his two acres of winter wheat, earning him an additional 20 family contribution points. (This information has been made public.)]

[Note: Resources rated as two-star quality usually don't differ much in value per unit, but if they are seeds that can be used for planting, they will have additional value.]

[Friendly Reminder: Because the cold resistance of this wheat seed has been increased by 30%, it is very suitable for planting in cold worlds. The Logistics Department requests the purchase of 50 kilograms of two-star quality winter wheat seeds. Their purchase price is 150 standard gold coins and 5% extra level completion rating.]

[Note: Although this is all family property, George, a family member, made a significant contribution. Therefore, he will receive 5% of the completion rating and an additional 50 standard gold coins. The remaining gold coins will be divided equally among the other members. This acquisition requires a vote by all members. 30 seconds remaining.]

-

Huh?
This is unprecedented. When Li Wei killed that two-star black bear before, no logistics department came to buy it. Is it because of the seed? Especially its cold resistance. So this is orderly and peaceful plunder.

At this moment, Li Wei dared not say that he fully understood, but at least he had glimpsed the operating model of the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens.

After thinking it over, Li Wei still chose to agree to the sale. There was nothing to hesitate about. What could his agreement or opposition alone decide? There wasn't enough time to coordinate and discuss things in 30 seconds.

Overall, the returns were quite good.

The thirty seconds passed quickly, and the voting results were in. As expected, everyone agreed; no one dared to offend the logistics department.

Besides, who would miss out on immediate benefits? As for using two-star wheat seeds to grow in an attempt to cultivate three-star seeds, haha, that's aiding the enemy! They're not three-star farmers.

Indeed, Li Wei had already guessed it. If he could grow three-star wheat, what chance would other players have?
So no one will give him that chance; he can't fight against it. Similarly, other three-star quality resources are not easily obtained by others. Oh, the three-star iron mine that Penny discovered is an exception.

Unless we can completely control the situation and have our own territory, we can't do that.

[Transaction successful. 150 standard gold coins have been credited to your account. After deducting income tax, transaction tax, protection tax, and new player support tax, family member George has 40 coins remaining, and the other players will each receive 80 coins!]

A wisp of golden mist descended and merged into Li Wei's body, or perhaps into the card; in any case, Li Wei's wealth balance returned to 55 gold coins.

It also grants an additional 5% completion rating.

Wow, these new veterans are really lucky. They haven't done anything and they've already gotten a lot of gold coins for free.

However, Li Wei herself was satisfied.

Farming is a promising profession!

What a windfall! And this is only two-star wheat; imagine what it would be like to grow three-star wheat in the future—

No, it's impossible to grow three-star wheat because there are no two-star seeds, and the requirements for all aspects would be much higher.

Putting all these thoughts aside, Li Wei immediately harvested another batch of one-star quality wheat.

Two-star wheat is just for good luck; one-star quality is the main focus.

This time, he had to transport the goods back and forth to the warehouse because there were too many.

Meanwhile, at the warehouse, Fila had made preparations well in advance, laying out canvas on the ground for drying the wheat ears. She was the warehouse manager, a threshing worker, and a flour miller. Li Wei was only responsible for harvesting and transporting the wheat to the warehouse, and once the handover was complete, there was nothing more for him to do.

These details form the basis for the division of labor among everyone in the family, and there's no way to go wrong with them.

Otherwise, one will have to share the profits, some more, some less.

Next, Li Wei dared not rest. He ran all the way, his sickle almost blurring into a blur, and finally finished harvesting the one-star quality wheat in the two acres of wheat field around noon.

The total quantity is as high as 660 jin!
It was not much different from what he had predicted.

As the last bag of wheat was handed over, several lines of information appeared.

[George, a family member, successfully harvested 660 jin (330 catties) of one-star quality winter wheat from his two acres of winter wheat, earning him an additional 66 family contribution points.]

-

Including previous contributions, his family contribution successfully reached 176 points on the first day of this month.

Not bad, Li Wei smiled slightly. He had finally witnessed the highlight of the farmer's profession.

Unfortunately, he was worried about rain; otherwise, if the harvest had been delayed by three to five days, he could have earned at least 10 more contribution points.

Around noon, he squatted in the shade by the door, eating his lunch while looking up to observe the sky.

It's very hot today, probably over 25 degrees Celsius.

The family members, who had initially been reserved and wary, not daring to take off their leather armor and maintaining a state of readiness to enter battle at any moment, had no choice but to obediently change into the summer clothes that Penny had sewn last month in the scorching heat.

Sure enough, it immediately felt much cooler.

Li Wei is the same now, wearing straw sandals, a straw hat, and thin, breathable, simple clothes. He couldn't be more comfortable.

"It's highly unlikely to rain today, so there shouldn't be any problems with the wheat harvest. If nothing unexpected happens, we'll definitely contribute over 230 by the end of the month. That's a pretty scary number, considering it's only the second month. Tsk tsk, is it because I've never eaten bran before? It feels a bit unreal right now."

As Li Weiyi pondered this, he slurped down a large bowl of wild vegetable soup.

Currently, the contribution advantage of 230+ is very significant, especially since he has become a family elder and is not afraid of ordinary plot kills. Even if he is impeached, they must find his mistakes, right?
As a result, he will most likely become the head of the household next month.

"But that's exactly what I'm afraid of. My foundation is too shallow. I'm just a recent elementary school graduate with too little experience in various fields. I'm here to learn from experience, not to become the boss. If I make even the slightest mistake, I'll basically be doomed and have no hope left."

"However, I think that the second son, Leon, along with Clyde and Sophie, must have some trump cards up their sleeves! After all, it's a title mission, and Leon's title mission is definitely of a higher level than Thomas's."

"As for these four solo players, they don't have any title quests, but they probably have secondary quest objectives, or they simply want to farm experience, equipment, and loot points."

Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but recall the previous version. What if he had stayed true to himself, hadn't accepted Penny's bribe, and hadn't betrayed Fila?
Then Lyon will definitely turn to impeach Fila, and Fila will step down and Penny will take over.

This way, Thomas's appointment as head of the household can be postponed by another month, and his title mission will basically be ruined, unless he has a valuable item card that can extend the time.

However, there will be a bandit raid that month. With Thomas and Margaret's fighting prowess, they can still slaughter many bandits, and he won't even have to lift a finger to rout them.

Furthermore, since Penny won't add too many main quests, and Li Wei will still be on patrol, the bandits' attacks won't catch them off guard.

Therefore, Margaret won't even die.

Therefore, Thomas may very well use this opportunity to become the head of the family again, which would actually make things better.

After all, Penny's fighting ability is far inferior.

"In hindsight, regardless of whether Thomas completed the mission, I should not admit my mistakes when I am impeached. Instead, I should choose the first or second option: always maintain an absolute advantage over everyone. That way, I can suppress Thomas for at least three months, and even continue to suppress the new professional players."

"This is a lesson: if you are impeached, you must not care about your family's contributions. If you can get a pardon, do so. Admitting a mistake is the same as admitting defeat. There is no turning back in life."

"Following this logic, if any of us eight accepts a title quest, he won't care about completing the game. He'll finish the title quest, pack his bags, and leave, leaving behind a bunch of wildly progressing but unfinished projects. This is actually a destruction of the entire family, a betrayal of the interests of other players, and a betrayal of my own interests as well."

"Therefore, the sniper title mission is something I must pay close attention to. At critical moments, it's one thing to back down if you don't have the resources, but if you have the trump cards and resources but choose to back down, then you'll be in trouble. These are all lessons learned."

Li Wei couldn't help but think of Penny, Fila, and Leon from the previous version. None of the three of them had high loot scores. Penny was a little better off, but Leon was really miserable. It has to be said that their lack of strategic vision was a major factor in this.

Especially Leon's final blow, haha, truly betrayed the entire family, so much so that after working hard for nine months, he only received a poor evaluation.
