Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 250 Four-Star Farmer Card

"Ahem, can you hear me? Friend, this is Trading Counter No. 8 of the Medical Department's self-operated market. Our department is acting on the orders of the great six-star lord to accept trade requests from pioneer territories with difficulty levels ranging from three to five stars. What resources do you intend to sell? By the way, this transaction can only last for ten minutes. Also, due to the rules, you cannot purchase supplies, and I will not record your appearance, voice, or player ID here."

Oh? The medical department.

It seems that no members of the medical department participated in this expansion mission. In addition, since they kept referring to the other party as the great six-star lord, it seems that this trade exchange is still within the territory of this great lord.

"What resources can I theoretically sell, and what are the most cost-effective resources?"

"Ha, that's quite broad. A common resource for sale is one-star radioactive black soil. You can get 100 standard gold coins for digging up one cubic meter. But the risk is high. Selling one cubic meter will increase the difficulty by 1%. You know what I mean? So if you have any crops you've grown, as long as they're one-star quality, even small cucumbers or tender eggplants, you can sell them for a good price. However, you basically need to sell at a minimum of ten units, otherwise you can't afford the cost of cross-border transportation."

"So just tell me what you have that's worth selling? Note that whatever it is, there will be a 10% cross-border transportation fee on the total price."

Damn it?

It didn't seem very good.

Li Wei thought for a moment, then took out a plate of crystal-clear one-star mutated spider silk. This was the kind of silk that could be collected after the death of the flying spider that was suspected to be Third Brother. He had a total of 200 plates in his hand.

"Oh, one-star mutated spider silk, a very common basic resource. Ten trays make up one standard unit, and one unit is worth 10 gold coins. How much do you have?"

Li Wei thought about it and felt it wasn't worth it. He had 200 discs, so he would have to pay 20 standard gold coins for shipping.

"What about this?"

He then took out the 30-centimeter-long black segmented limb.

"Huh? The spellcaster's life core. This thing needs to be identified, otherwise it won't be counted as spoils of war and can't be identified."

At that moment, the middle-aged man wearing glasses gave Li Wei a meaningful look and said, "Do you need an appraisal? The appraisal fee is 100 gold coins."

"So expensive!"

Li Wei was taken aback, feeling as if she had been framed.

"Yes, of course it's expensive. Under normal circumstances, if you bring this thing to the headquarters, the appraisal fee will be at most 50 gold. But you have to understand where you are. This thing can't be brought out silently. Once it's seized by the cross-border anti-smuggling department, you'll bear the consequences. Hurry up, there's no time left."

"Okay! I'll take the assessment."

Li Weiyi gritted his teeth. A cross-border anti-smuggling department? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing. Is it the armed force under that six-star lord?
This was no joke, so he immediately took out 110 reels of mutated spider silk and handed them over.

The other party chuckled, adjusted his glasses, and the next moment, a four-star professional card flew out from between his eyebrows. It seemed to have a special appraisal effect, and there was almost no visible change. The half of the dark limb seemed to melt away, enveloped in a pale blue halo.

"It's been identified. It's a magical material that has undergone three radiation mutations, leaning towards the mental aspect. It's usually used to make mental potions, and its market price is around 2000 gold coins. Our medical department happens to be a buyer of that material, so we can give you a 10% premium. Are you willing to sell?"

Li Wei pondered, because at that moment he received several messages.

You have had an item identified as family property.

The identification was successful. This item has been scanned and added to the family assets, and the relevant distribution records are being revised.

[Warning: Since you have already allocated the Universal Gold Card, this item will no longer be your exclusive loot and cannot be allocated by you. This item belongs to your family property, but the related appraisal fee will be refunded when the mission is completed.]

[Warning: If you attempt to take this item for yourself, you will need to spend 100 Prestige Points.]

-

Okay, I see.

"I'm sorry, after the appraisal, I am no longer qualified to sell it."

Li Wei felt helpless.

"Well, there's nothing I can do then. Time's up, goodbye."

The bespectacled man opposite him had an expression that said he had expected this all along. With a casual wave of his hand, the gray mist dissipated, and everything returned to normal.

Li Wei pondered for a long time, then smiled slightly. He currently had 280 prestige points left, so acquiring this item would be easy, but he still needed to consider maximizing his benefits.

Next, Li Wei put the magical material into his resource card, checked the time, and realized it was almost dinner time.

He washed up and went to the fourth-floor restaurant, where he sat down at the table and waited quietly.

About half an hour later, Thomas and Zhao Xuanxuan returned one after the other. They sat down at the dining table, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then began to eat and drink heartily. They had slowed down their work pace over the past two days, and it was clear that they had recovered to about 90% of their previous condition, so they would be able to handle a sudden battle without any problems.

Li Wei finished his dinner in silence before saying, "You two will patrol for me tonight. I have some things to take care of."

"it is good!"

The two nodded slightly, needing no further questions; they could basically guess what was going on.

After the cooks finished cleaning up, Li Wei went straight to the third-floor warehouse. Tonight, he would officially upgrade his Farmer Card to four stars, a process that would likely require a lot of food. Finding a seat, he then summoned the black iron token.

[Do you wish to fuse the Black Iron quality Clearance Token with the Three-Star Farmer Card? You have already met the fusion requirements of 10000 Farming Experience Points and 100 Standard Gold Coins.]

Sure!

Next, a familiar scene unfolded: the light and shadow of the entire world shifted at that moment. He could vaguely sense that his Farmer's Card had shattered, but was being reassembled by some magical force.

During this process, his senses could only perceive darkness, as if he were in an endless abyss.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but it was longer than the last time, before a sliver of light finally began to fall, like the hand of an angel, gently and firmly pulling his consciousness out of the abyss of darkness. This process was like his soul leaving his body. Gradually, more and more bright and holy points of light fell, illuminating Li Wei's soul, and then his body, until he was fully recovered.

At the same time, a four-star farmer card was also collected.

It was as if this was part of his body and soul.

However, the upgraded four-star farmer card is still black and white, with a four-star symbol on one side and a golden ear of wheat on the other. It looks simple at first glance, but Li Wei only stared at it for a second, and the next moment he felt that he was in a golden wheat field that was about to be harvested. It was magical.

At this moment, lines of information appeared.

[Already bound to a four-star farmer card]

[Having transitioned to an expert-level farmer]

[Gain a professional talent: Increases the fertility of cultivated land by 60%, and professionally enhances crops' resistance to abnormal environments. Also allows you to find and harvest mature, valuable seeds in the wild.]

[Automatically gain 5 free attribute points]

[Friendly reminder: Upgrading to a 5-star Farmer Card requires 100000 Farming Experience Points + 1000 Standard World Resources (1000 Standard Gold Coins) + one Silver-quality Clearance Token]

[Friendly reminder: You are now a four-star player. Based on the Expedition Card you are carrying, the difficulty of your current Expedition side quest will be passively increased by 30%, meaning the additional difficulty of the current Expedition side quest will be increased to 150%. Please inform your companions in time, as they will not be aware of the increased difficulty.]

[Friendly reminder: From now on, the difficulty of the Chaotic Slaughter missions you participate in will automatically increase. When all four of your classes reach four stars, you can choose to trigger a four-star lord mission, which requires completing a cross-server mission once every five years. Note that after completing a cross-server mission, you will not need to participate in Chaotic Slaughter missions for three years.]

-

not bad!
The increased risk and difficulty were also within Li Wei's considerations; the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!
So, how should these five free attribute points be allocated?
Alternatively, once his scout card is bound and activated, theoretically he will be able to obtain another 5, or even 10, free attribute points.

Also, it seems that the Scout Card comes with 3 Agility points?
He has to consider all factors.

"So, in this situation, we need to address our weaknesses first and raise our defensive attributes to level one awakening. Only then will I be considered to have all attributes at level one awakening, making me a veteran warrior."

Without hesitation, Li Wei immediately added all five free attribute points to defense, increasing it from 14 to 19 points. Although he hadn't reached level one awakening yet, the effect was immediate.

He had just eaten his fill not long ago, but in that instant, it was as if every cell in his body had been activated, transforming into countless hungry ghosts that frantically devoured his stomach, his internal organs, blood vessels, muscles, and even his bones.

In just a few seconds, Li Wei felt like she was about to be eaten whole.

But he wasn't panicked. This wasn't the first time something like this had happened. This time, he even upgraded the warehouse directly, which was preparation for this kind of thing.

Li Wei pounced directly on a pile of dried salted fish, not even caring about the fish bones, and chewed them all up and ate them.

He ate nearly thirty pounds of salted fish in one go, and his condition improved slightly. Then he took a few bottles of strong liquor that he had gotten from the free people and gulped them down. After that, he started drinking water like crazy, and then he ate again.

After eating and drinking for about an hour, a strong drowsiness overcame Li Wei, and he fell asleep on the spot before he could even leave the warehouse.

When he woke up, he saw Ah-Dai jumping around in front of him. What does that mean? Do you think I'm delicious?

Silly bird!

Phew, that was a really good sleep. I'm still hungry, but it's back to normal now.

As Li Wei stood up, he felt his bones cracking and popping all over his body, and his summer clothes, which had originally fit perfectly, suddenly became a size too small.

It felt like he was wearing children's clothes, so he quickly took them off. Li Wei couldn't help but marvel at himself, because he felt that he had grown two centimeters taller, as if he was aging in reverse.

His waist, shoulder width, and chest circumference have all increased slightly. Although he can't see any explosive six-pack abs yet, Li Wei can clearly feel that his bones have become thicker and harder. Perhaps the increase is only a few tenths of a millimeter, and the hardness has increased by a few tenths of a unit. Overall, his weight gain will not exceed five kilograms.

However, Li Wei felt that he could now withstand being hit by several bricks without flinching.

It's not that the skin won't bleed, but the strength of the bones can basically ensure that he won't suffer internal injuries.

Only with such strong bones and more compact, fuller muscle mass could his body unleash greater power and faster speed.

However, the prerequisite is that one must adapt, and one must adapt through crazy heavy physical labor.

"So, it's time to go dig for coal."
