Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 278 Mark
Li Wei immediately took out a stonemason card, a craftsman card, a blacksmith card, a woodcutter card, and a miner card.

Thomas, Leon, and Zhao Xuanxuan have accumulated all of this over the past few days. They can trade with each other to form a professional card once they have accumulated 500 experience points. It's very convenient, and they have really worked hard.

"Mark, come over and pick one. Whichever one you think is more suitable, just choose it."

“Mark, Mark…”

Mark was a little confused. This time, even Li Wei seemed to understand, because his eyes and expression could indeed reveal a lot, so he still had basic intelligence.

"Mark, these are the profession cards: blacksmith, stonemason, craftsman, lumberjack, and miner. Come on, pick one."

The patrolman named Carter pulled Mark over. These free men were now very familiar with this part of the process, so they were happy to watch the spectacle.

“Mark, Mark…”

Mark called out, seemingly a little embarrassed, but at that moment, Li Wei suddenly threw the professional cards in his hand into the air. Instantly, a stonemason card turned into a stream of light and entered Mark's forehead. The next second, another miner card entered his forehead.

Goodness, it can bind two at the same time?
No, no!
Taking advantage of the moment when the professional card was bound, Li Wei quickly focused his attention and saw that, sure enough, it was true!
Although Mark has become a natural human and lost an arm, some of his superhuman genes still remain in his body? Or should I put it that way? That his genes have changed at the microscopic level?
For example, when he bound and activated the stonemason card, he instantly upgraded it to two stars because his experience and understanding in this area far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Yes, Mark's stonemason destiny skyrocketed to 36 at that moment!

Holy crap, it's almost on par with Lyon.

Lyon's stonemason destiny is only 38, that's amazing!
This level 3 ability user has such great potential after being rescued.
Also, Mark's miner card was upgraded to two stars in an instant, and his miner fate also automatically reached 24. That's awesome!
In addition, his initial life is 100 points, directly awakened at level 1, stamina is 200 points, still awakened at level 1, strength is 20 points, still awakened at level 1, agility is 8, defense is 15, well!
The starting point is a professional warrior with three attributes and level one awakening.

At this point, he still had 20 free attribute points left to allocate.

To say it's a matter of divine favor is perfectly accurate.

“Mark? Mark! Mark…”

Mark was shouting again. He finally realized the amazing thing: he could also see his own attributes. He hadn't expected that he seemed to be very strong.
"Mark, prioritize adding points to Stamina, Strength, and Defense, then Health, and finally Agility. The specifics are up to you, but you'll definitely be going for a defense and strength-focused build in the future. In short, you can be a tank to absorb damage or a strength-based damage dealer. The choice is yours."

At this moment, Li Wei reminded him that although Mark was missing an arm, his growth potential was truly amazing and he was worth nurturing.

“Mark, Mark…”

Mark cheered happily, and then in one go, he increased his health to 200 points, his stamina to 250 points, and his defense to 20 points, awakening all four attributes to level one.

He surpassed Zhang Jinjun in one step, caught up with Zhao Xuanxuan, and is now close to Lyon. The key point is that he was still unequipped and only had two professional cards.

He can be promoted to three stars at any time. With a suitable set of equipment, he would be a mini-Isma, a fully equipped Leon.

Of course, Mark needs some time to adjust.

"Benjamin, have someone take him to a restaurant, find him some food, lots of meat, until he's full."

"As you command! Sir!"

Benjamin immediately ordered his men to make the arrangements, and the way he looked at Mark was as if he had discovered a new continent. He had always considered himself a genius, but he had never been this awesome before.

At this moment, Li Wei went directly to wheat field No. 4 to start harvesting. The quality of wheat in this field was undoubtedly better than that of the three wheat fields on the rooftop, and there were more three-star wheat ears.

When he harvested from one end to the other in one go, the amount of three-star quality wheat he collected was a staggering 204 jin!
This is only two and a half acres of land.

Fun!

At this moment, Li Wei felt that his farmer's fate was beginning to loosen, so he decided to keep up the good work.

After he finished harvesting the two-star quality wheat, he had a total of 447 jin (228 catties).

Finally, there was one-star quality wheat, which was not ordinary wheat and weighed a full 739 jin (approximately 369 catties).

You have completed the harvest of 2.5 acres of wheat field. You have gained 500 farming experience points and an additional 150 contribution points, for a total of 28750 points. Your Farmer Destiny has increased to 21.

[Warning: According to the agreement you signed before joining the Pioneer side quest, you are required to sell a specified amount of wheat to the city of Vil at market price within 24 hours.]

Good guy!
I understand, don't rush me!

Li Wei was also curious: how delicious would white bread, steamed buns, dumplings, noodles, or three-delicacy dumplings made from three-star quality wheat be?
It's a pity I'm not fortunate enough to enjoy it.

Next, Li Wei instructed Benjamin and the others to send all the wheat to Warehouse No. 1. That's right, the Free People are not yet qualified to eat one-star wheat, just as he is not yet qualified to eat three-star wheat.

Food made from one-star wheat will only be sold as a commodity in the market. Hey, want some?
If you want to eat something, just buy it with standard copper coins. The price won't be high, but this is a key driving force for promoting market exchange. It will also be a major boost to Li Wei's future goal of promoting a household-based social structure.

Otherwise, if everyone eats the same food every day, and there are no better opportunities for development or any hope for the future, then the territory may run into problems.

We need to establish the domestic market in advance.

Of course, this is nothing new; there's never anything new under the sun.

Subsequently, Li Wei directly used the Prestige Card function in Warehouse No. 1, which provided a monthly trade opportunity.

In an instant, a gray fog enveloped everything, forming a dimensional space. At the end of the gray fog was the familiar No. 8 trading counter belonging to the medical department.

"Ahem, friend, we meet again. I have heard that your department has had a bumper wheat harvest. Our department has been ordered by the great six-star lord to collect the second and third grade wheat on your behalf and to handle related business. If there is anything amiss, please point it out and we will try our best to make changes."

Hmm, their attitude is different from last time.

Li Wei didn't think much of it. He simply handed over all the three-star wheat and two-thirds of the two-star wheat without even asking the price per unit. There was no need to ask. This was essentially a different way of paying taxes.

Otherwise, why not try selling Samsung-quality wheat on the black market?

In short, after a brief calculation, the other side threw 1500 cold, emotionless standard gold coins at you!
At that moment, the trader suddenly said:

"Your maid, Xiao Ning, has mailed you some local specialties from her hometown. This is part of the permitted humanitarian care, but it's only allowed this once during your mission."

After saying that, the other party threw a package over, and the next second, the trade channel was closed.

Li Wei was stunned. Such a benefit?

He immediately rushed over, opened the package, and found fifty pounds of two-star winter wheat, one hundred pounds of two-star corn, and a resource card.

The moment Li Wei got his hands on it, he knew who had arranged it.

Who else could it be but his mentor, benefactor, and superior, Lord Night Owl?

The resource card was crammed full of a total of five hundred one-star class cards.

Good guy!
This is what it means to offer help in times of need!
He was worried about where to get one-star professional cards; without them, it would be difficult to settle the newly joined free citizens.

Li Wei then took a quick look.

These cards include 50 Farmer Cards, 50 Craftsman Cards, 50 Miner Cards, 50 Hunter Cards, 50 Chef Cards, 50 Butcher Cards, 50 Mountain Dweller Cards, 50 Fisherman Cards, 50 Woodcutter Cards, and 50 Blacksmith Cards.

They're all ordinary, standard professional cards, which is fine.

At this moment, when the 500 professional cards were taken out, the one-star resource card turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished.

This thing is a consumable.

It's worth mentioning that Li Wei originally had three resource cards, but now she's almost used them all up.

At this moment, he suddenly had an idea. He went downstairs to the outside of the camp and saw four electric buses slowly stopping outside the city wall. It turned out that Nelson, Thomas, Santiago and the others had returned. Zhao Xuanxuan had also returned with them, but Li Yue was still at the small town base.

Zhao Xuanxuan then stepped forward to report.

“Li Wei, everything has been resolved. However, the individuals over there are preparing to dismantle the small nuclear power plant at Base 379. Li Yue said she will stay there for a few days to ensure their safety.”

“Once the dismantling is complete, she will return. The other natural persons have also promised that they will seal all the entrances and exits and will not reopen them. They will simply wait in the underground base for the radiation storm to pass. We only need to conduct regular patrols over the next few months. If nothing unexpected happens, this is indeed the optimal solution at present.”

"Okay, you've worked hard." Li Wei nodded, not surprised.

Li Yue, being a loner, looked down on Zhao Xuanxuan, seeing her as a huge burden. If anything happened, whether to help her or not would be a difficult choice, so it was better to get rid of her beforehand so that both of them could feel at ease.

But then again, what if those two expansion side missions in the surrounding area get angry and launch a base raid this month?
Li Wei thought strangely, then looked at Nelson and Thomas, who were each directing the 208 natural persons to be divided into two groups. They could not tell anything from their appearance, but he could smell a faint stench of decay on some of them, and they were obviously in a state of high fever. They were all listless and very sleepy.

Some of the more severely affected individuals have developed various abnormalities on their skin, such as scaly skin or bone hyperplasia. Some are so hot they look like crayfish, while others shiver as if covered in frost.

Undoubtedly, the blood plague toxin in their bodies is spreading rapidly. This is not an illness, but rather an out-of-control magical source that is altering their genes. In the next period of time, when the blood plague toxin breaks through its limit, they will transform into level 3 superhumans.
