Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 159: Level Completion Event Triggered (Bonus Chapter 5 for Alliance Leader lanruoruo)

The six horse-drawn carriages from the town of Vido drove away one after another, leaving the unloaded wheat piled on the tarpaulin.

A small wooden hut is being urgently cleared out to temporarily house the wheat.

“Clyde, Charles, and Pang Wu, the three of you will lead thirty farmers, push four wheelbarrows, and transport five hundred catties of wheat, some dried meat, and three catties of salt. Head immediately to the No. 1 wooden cabin post station, fifty li away. Over the next three days, you will need to build a second wooden cabin there and at the same time begin to develop a road to the camp. The road must be passable by horse-drawn carriages.”

"The specific development route will be based on the route I previously drew, and adjustments can be made."

"At the same time, Clyde, you need to return to the camp tonight and bring back some road-clearing tools and cabin-building tools. Camp One needs to be further expanded, and it will become our forward outpost and relay station in the future."

"As you command, my lord!"

"Liu Zhongyuan, Kolas, you two will stay at the No. 2 cabin post station and be responsible for processing and dismembering all the wolf carcasses. You are also allowed to use ten catties of salt to cure the wolf meat."

"As you command, my lord!"

When Li Wei returned to the wooden cabin camp, he quickly issued new orders. Today was the eleventh day of the month. The salt and grain tasks were no longer a problem, but opening up this trade route was still a very difficult task.

Although the actual distance to be explored is only thirty li.

After issuing the order, Li Wei, without taking a break, led the remaining twenty farmers to repair the road from the No. 2 wooden cabin post station towards the No. 1 wooden cabin post station.

This road is fifty miles long and mostly passes through a gentle valley. Many places are naturally suitable for travel without needing repairs, but there are also places where only wheelbarrows can pass.

Another reason is that there are no tire tracks, making it easy to get lost.

This requires the installation of signs on both sides of the road, and in some places, the removal of large stones from the middle of the road.

Alternatively, build stone walls along the roadside and post warnings in areas where seasonal flash floods may occur.

Overall, it's not very difficult.

Li Wei and 20 farmers can advance five miles in a morning, return for lunch, take a half-hour nap, and then continue advancing five miles in the afternoon.

Ten miles a day, it can be done in about six days.

Of course, in reality, by the third day, these farmers could go to the No. 1 cabin to rest.

At the No. 2 log cabin station, Kolas and Liu Zhongyuan completed the dismantling in just one day, and that night, the two were ordered to set off.

At four o'clock the next morning, he returned with two farmers pushing four wheelbarrows.

Liu Zhongyuan stayed behind to cook, while Kolas led four farmers to load the wheelbarrow with wheat and push it back.

It's as easy as ants moving house; it's enough to handle it.

On the third day, after another small wooden cabin was built next to the No. 1 wooden cabin station, Li Wei arrived at the No. 1 wooden cabin camp with 20 farmers that evening.

Only Liu Zhongyuan was left to guard the No. 2 wooden cabin camp.

During this period, Pang Wu, who had the worst attributes, was responsible for transporting wheat. Every day, he led four farmers to push wooden carts, and he was responsible for guarding them. They made one round trip a day, ensuring that they would depart from Camp 2 in the early morning and from Camp 1 in the afternoon, and that they could stay overnight at Camp 2.

Avoid rainy weather as much as possible.

Once all the food, dried meat, and other supplies in Camp Two have been transported away, Liu Zhongyuan will also withdraw.

Overall, it went very smoothly.

As for Camp One, after Clyde returned to the family camp, he pushed over a wheelbarrow and brought with him a lot of tools, including shovels, steel bars, hammers, pickaxes, and so on.

These tools are more effective than those used by farmers.

However, Li Wei and his team were even more impressive.

Li Wei himself, even with the Bear Hunter title, only has 17 points of strength, which is equivalent to at most three or four farmers. Well, these farmers suffer from long-term malnutrition, and their average strength is only around 7 or 8 points, far below the standard of a healthy ordinary person.

Someone like Clyde, whose strength should be around 25 points, could lift a stone weighing two or three hundred pounds with ease.

Korath wasn't lacking either, with 26 points of strength and 240 points of stamina. He and Clyde were like human road clearing machines, and from sunrise to sunset, the two of them were equivalent to ten farmers.

Arrogant and domineering, no explanation needed.

Charles is slightly inferior, but he still has 21 points of strength and 200 points of stamina.

After the supplies for Camp Two were transported, and Liu Zhongyuan joined in, wow, they instantly turned into three human-shaped road clearing machines.

No one dared to slack off, because Li Wei was setting an example.

He didn't push the farmers; those fifty farmers had only so much potential. Individually, they were utterly incompetent; their strength lay entirely in numbers.

If they can persevere and make it to the end of the month, that will be a victory.

After all, fifty farmers are equivalent to five Clyde and five Coras. The real breakthrough, the ones whose potential is worth exploring, lies with these six.

Li Wei no longer cares about his health; he has to open up this trade route by the end of the month. Although it's not a matter of life and death, he has to fight tooth and nail to keep his position as head of the family.

Although Li Wei had occasionally thought to himself that he could just settle the score and give up, when the time came and he really seized an opportunity to turn the tide and crush advanced players, he was truly willing to risk everything.

That's right!
Even when there's no chance of winning, if you still go all in, that's the true nature of a gambler.

But if you have an opportunity and a chance of winning, and you don't take the plunge, that's called being a fool!

Now everything is out in the open, and Clyde, Liu Zhongyuan, and Korras are all clearly aware of it, regardless of whether they are smart or not.

They all understood that frantically following in Li Wei's footsteps now was no longer just about preventing NG (non-performance); it was about gaining favor, choosing sides, and taking a gamble.

As long as Li Wei wins, they will eat very well next month.

Yes, especially mercenaries. If they don't work hard or perform well this month, we can easily replace them with a new batch next month!
And to be honest, isn't it great to earn money this month by following George, the little boss?

Liu Zhongyuan is destined to be a chef, and Coras is destined to be a butcher. Now, Pang Wu and Charles allow them to go out hunting and fishing for two hours every day to improve their meals.

At the current pace of road construction, the project should be completed by the end of the month, barring continuous heavy rain.

The requirements for a road that can accommodate horse-drawn carriages are really not high.

However, on the evening of the twenty-first day of this month, Li Wei was returning with fifty farmers, while Clyde, Coras, and others were preparing to build another small cabin at the fifteenth mile mark. This would greatly save the farmers' time and energy, and would also facilitate starting work at multiple points, proceeding in stages, and minimizing the time spent traveling back and forth.

Suddenly, several lines of somewhat unusual purple-gold information flashed before their eyes.

[Ron, a family member, crafted another 200 one-star quality armor plates this month, bringing his total to 800. He then combined these plates with other materials to forge a four-star quality Royal Heavy Scale Armor, the highest-level equipment currently allowed to be crafted in the mission world. This triggered the completion event, bringing the current mission storyline to 1/3 completion event.]

[Friendly reminder: Completion events are landmark events in the new player quests and are not replicable. Once you have completed three events, a mandatory completion settlement will be triggered, and both new and veteran players will receive a settlement unconditionally.]

[Friendly reminder: Completing the game is not mandatory; it's a special honor similar to a world achievement.]

[Friendly reminder: If no completion event is triggered during the entire mission's storyline, the mission will automatically conclude and be resolved after three years. If the final boss is not defeated even once during this period, the rating will be the lowest.]

The overall reward for completing the event is: 15% bonus completion rating and 600 family contribution points.

[Since this event was triggered under the leadership of George, the head of the household, and George clearly participated in and guided its occurrence, his leadership skills are recognized. He will receive an additional 5% completion rating and 150 family contribution points.]

[Because this event was triggered in a way that is closely related to the one-star forge built by his family member Clyde, he will receive 50 family contribution points.]

[Due to the triggering of this event, which is related to the discovery of the Samsung Iron Mine, Penny, a family member from the previous version, will receive 20 Family Contribution Points.]

[Family member Ron receives a 10% bonus to his completion rating and 380 family contribution points. He will also receive the title of Master Armor Maker.]

-

Good guy!
There's such a hidden feature?

What kind of incredibly powerful royal heavy scale armor must it be to trigger this? At this moment, Li Wei wished he could go back and check immediately.

Sure enough, if these advanced players are not careful enough to suppress you, they will immediately show you how to defy the heavens.

"In the next ten days or so, we'll have to see what incredible things Hathaway does. But I might not necessarily lose!"

For a moment, Li Wei felt an overwhelming sense of pride, because he had truly accomplished it. If a four-star scale armor with special properties could trigger a level completion event, he didn't believe that opening up a trade route wouldn't trigger one.

certain.

Logically, this trade route is even more important than the Four-Star Scale Armor.

So far this month, he has accumulated one title, 10 gold coins, 400 contribution points, over 4000 hunting experience, 200 scouting experience, and even construction experience for clearing roads.

It's worth mentioning that 50 of the 400 contribution points were provided by Kolas, who decomposed and tanned a two-star wolf king, decomposed and tanned a one-star elk, and so on. He gained destiny experience, and all the contribution points he received went to Li Wei.

After returning home, the wolf and deer skins can be donated to the family, earning an additional 50 contribution points.

In addition, the 240 contribution points from the four two-star mercenaries lent to Lyon this month for the basic main storyline also belong to Li Wei.

This means his total contribution is already set at 690 points.

But there's also the salt task. Fifty kilograms of salt. Even if ten kilograms are used to clear the path, the remaining forty kilograms will earn you 200 points for completing the basic part. Of course, this includes the share for Liu Zhongyuan, Coras, Charles, and Pang Wu.

However, the remaining 25 kilograms will earn an extra 10 contribution points per kilogram, which is equivalent to 250 contribution points. The extra wheat cannot be counted for the time being, but it should be no less than 200 points.

So, with just these contributions, Li Wei's total contribution for the month has already reached around 1100+, plus the contribution from opening up a trade route.

Hehe, if even this is enough to make Hathaway, that bitch, beat me in no time, then Li Wei is willing to admit defeat immediately and settle the score!
