Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 259 Contribution Explosion
Back outside the underground base, Li Weineng almost wiped out that five-star ability user using those two bastards, Thomas and Leon.

After two months of training, Zhao Xuanxuan, who was once a nobody, now possesses a destiny title.

Lyon, on the other hand, kept a low profile in the quarry, looking disheveled and unkempt every day, like a beggar. But now, his demeanor is more composed than ever before.

The changes in Thomas, Lyon, and Zhao Xuanxuan basically confirm that Li Wei's strategy has succeeded; he can indeed rely on the three of them to confront Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi head-on.

With the Free Citizens and the three of them now together, the situation was stable.

But the most important person in all of this is still Li Wei himself.

Back when Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi first arrived at the beginning of the month, they took advantage of going out to dig for wild vegetables and collect herbs to search the area within a 50-mile radius of the camp, and basically determined the possible mutated creatures and resource points in the surrounding area.

In a sense, they weren't afraid of Li Wei causing any trouble, because there were only a few mutated creatures around them that they could farm, and even if they worked themselves to death, they couldn't possibly break through 180%.

As a result, Li Wei managed to walk out of a radius of fifty miles all by herself, find a new mutated creature, and actually kill it. Although this strength was not enough in the eyes of the five-star big shots, it was actually quite impressive.

The seven of them ate their dinner quietly. Under the bright lights, the scene was still very warm. After all, they were a loving family, and blood was thicker than water.

Even Alan and Jenny, the older women serving them, were inexplicably moved.

As night fell and Li Wei slowly put down her cutlery, it was time for the end-of-month summary.

Everyone waited quietly for a few seconds, and then a faint gray mist began to envelop them, as if they had suddenly entered another dimension.

Immediately afterwards, lines of information appeared silently.

[This month has been one of steady progress, unity, and the first glimmer of hope. Under the leadership of Li Wei, the head of the family, and with everyone's efforts, the Level 3 Scavenging Camp has ushered in a bright, stable, and confident new era.]

This month, hunger seems to have become a distant memory. Sufficient, abundant, and high-quality food fills the hearts of every camp member with happiness. Within the camp, the electricity supply ensures the nights are no longer dark, the running water system makes washing and grooming no longer a problem, and the scientific organization and division of labor ensures the camp's smooth operation.

The mining of coal solved the camp's fuel problem, steam engine power generation ensured that the camp's electricity supply was no longer an issue for the first time, and the appearance of heating boilers and elevators greatly boosted morale. The construction of the outer city walls brought a strong sense of security, and it seemed that everyone had a bright future ahead.

[A large amount of supplies continued to be transported back to the camp this month, families' fixed assets are steadily increasing, and confident smiles, joyful songs, and children's laughter all testify to the bright future and strong development potential of this scavenging camp.]

This month, the maximum contribution points a family can earn has reached 19000. So far, 16000 points have been earned (including all members' additional earnings, but excluding monthly main story rewards).

This month, the scavenging camp led by Li Wei, the head of the family, earned a total of 96 exploration points, bringing their current total to 336 points, ranking fourth on the exploration points leaderboard.

[Li Wei, the head of the family, set an example this month and arranged all tasks properly, thus receiving an extra 10% completion rating, bringing his total to 33%, and earning 2000 contribution points, of which 1500 points came from free citizens, bringing his current total contribution to 9000 points. The family's total contribution is currently 18000 points.]

[Family member Li Yue completed her captain-level monthly main quest this month, earning 500 contribution points, bringing her total to 3050 points. The family's real-time total contribution is 18500 points.]

Family member Liang Yuzhi completed her captain-level monthly main quest this month, earning 500 contribution points, bringing her total to 3000 points. The family's real-time total contribution is 19000 points.

[Family member Leon completed his vice-captain's main quest this month, earning 300 contribution points, but because his total contribution points have already been reached, this cannot be counted. His total contribution points are now 1200.]

[Family member Thomas completed his vice-captain level main quest this month, earning 300 contribution points. Since the total contribution has reached the limit, it cannot be counted, bringing the total to 1000 points.]

[Official camp member Zhang Jinjun completed his main quest this month, earning 200 points, but these cannot be counted; his total is 750 points.]

[Official camp member Zhao Xuanxuan completed her main quest this month, earning 200 points, but these cannot be counted; her total is 1000 points.]

[A warning has been issued if family members have put in hard work but have not received a proportional reward. This violates basic humanistic care and indicates problems with the camp's internal management and operations. If this happens three times, it will trigger a public prosecution and impeachment. The head of the household will need to spend 5000 contribution points to be exempted from this public prosecution and impeachment.]

[Li Wei, the head of the family, will continue to serve his term, and the leadership buff will remain in effect. However, once impeachment is triggered, even if he chooses to remain ineligible for impeachment, this leadership buff will completely disappear, as if it had been dispelled.]

[Due to continued re-election, prestige +10, current total 290 points]

-

Wow, it's finally here.

Ranked fourth, Li Wei was not surprised by the drop in ranking, because he did not send a team to occupy the resource point in the south. In other words, although he raised the extra difficulty of the exploration side quest to 180%, he did not actually get any exploration points for killing the mutated cabbage.

Otherwise, they might even have climbed to second place this month.

Because you can't just think about rankings, you also have to plan your strategy based on the development of the camp itself. There's no way to capture resource points when you're 100 miles away.

Li Wei will be withdrawing from the underground base in the north this month; consolidating forces and strengthening the camp are the most important things.

As for the total contribution to the family, it finally inevitably came to light. Mainly because this month, Li Yue, Liang Yuzhi, and the others completely annihilated a team of superhumans sent by Duke Blazing Flame at the underground base, causing their contribution to skyrocket.

Fortunately, Li Wei had made preparations in advance. Over the past few days, he had Thomas and Zhao Xuanxuan participate in quick and easy tasks within the camp. For example, he had Thomas help Javier build Warehouse No. 4, and Zhao Xuanxuan helped weld the heating boiler, elevator, and install the steam generator set. These extra tasks were paid out immediately.

This means they had inside information and exploited the bug ahead of time.

Of course, this can be considered as Li Wei giving back to the two of them; otherwise, these benefits would have been counted as part of Li Wei's contribution.

In short, after much hardship, I managed to reach 1000 contribution points before the end-of-month settlement, successfully becoming a family elder and no longer afraid of being impeached.

But then again, now that Li Yue has reached an agreement with him, she shouldn't make things difficult for him anymore.

Just as Li Wei was pondering, a strange gust of wind swept in, very fierce, and even brought a bloody and putrid smell, as if it were some kind of omen.

No way, they're already hyping up a radiation storm two months from now.

In the fierce wind, a piece of paper, almost torn to pieces, drifted down, nearly unrecognizable, with the writing on it becoming blurred and some words even disappearing altogether.

As Li Weiyi grasped the piece of paper that was about to shred, he felt a strange aura emanating from between his fingers, and half of his arm felt as if it had frozen. Startled, he quickly switched to his rat exterminator title.

When he looked at it again, he saw that the ranking on the paper was still fourteen, indicating that everyone was making steady progress this month.

The specific rankings are as follows:

First place: Zhao Kewu, 358, far ahead.

Second place: Socrates, 352, still unattainable.

Third place: Hathaway the Witch, 340. This time she successfully surpassed Li Wei, but this is also reasonable.

Li Wei ranked fourth with 336, which is average.

Fifth place, Knight Ron, 335, is close behind.

Sixth place, Scarface Glenn, 332, is also a formidable force.

Seventh place, John, 285. He has a slightly higher number of exploration points this month, probably because he finally opened a Natural Person camp? Otherwise, there's no way to explain it.

The eighth place, with a score of 275, is also catching up rapidly, probably for the same reason.

Those ranked 9th to 14th generally stayed between 260th and 230th, and all of them have a bright future.

A minute later, Li Wei suddenly felt a sharp pain in his fingers as he pressed the paper, as if the paper had turned into a monster and bit him.

He winced in pain and withdrew his finger, only to see the torn piece of paper burst into flames. And within the flames, a pair of eerie eyes were staring at him.

what's the situation?
Li Wei was stunned. When he looked again, nothing was there anymore, except that his index finger was indeed gushing blood.

The next second, a line of eerie, bizarre information, as if soaked in blood, appeared.

[Because the extra mission difficulty in your current pioneering side quest has increased to 180%, you have been cursed. When the radiation storm sweeps across the world, your scavenging camp will have a certain chance of being targeted by special magical zombies. Please be prepared.]

really!

Li Wei didn't care much. He was playing on the highest difficulty, going all out. With two strong teammates around, what was he afraid of?

Next up was the plot-driven kill scene. Zhang Jinjun was prepared to be killed off. What could he do? He was unwanted by anyone, so he resigned himself to his fate.

But he waited and waited, and several minutes passed, and it was still quiet. What did that mean? No one was plotting against him. He cautiously looked at Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi, but one of these two big shots was focused on trimming her nails, and the other was lost in thought. This... this... the sun must have risen in the west.

So we really are a loving family?

But thinking about it, it's obvious that's impossible. Are these two big shots trying to trigger a public prosecution and impeachment against Li Wei?

Hey, that's going to be funny. Damn, he finally got a chance to participate in a pioneering mission, but he's been doing all the hard work and hasn't gotten any benefits. At least he can have some fun.

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye. No one initiated any plot-driven deaths, so it was time for a family meeting.
