Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 281 Good Reputation
Liang Yuzhi left as if she had never been there.

Li Wei sat on the bed, wide awake. His conversation with Liang Yuzhi had opened up a whole new world for him. He had never thought about it before, not even when he had dated Hathaway for a while and she had earned the title of witch Hathaway.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about it much at that time.

But now that he is about to become a powerful three-star lord, it is indeed worthwhile to learn more about him.

"So it can now be basically confirmed that the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens has another set of Tier 2 professional cards. The first set of professional cards is obtained externally, but the second set of professional cards needs to be forged by themselves."

"We currently know about Warrior cards and Witch cards, so are there any other class cards? It feels like that's the world of high-level players."

Li Wei was somewhat captivated.

After a long while, he tried his best to control these wild thoughts, knowing that thinking too much would be pointless.

Everything depends on the present. If he cannot persist in developing the side quests for three years and cannot obtain this territory and become a powerful three-star lord, then he will not even have the chance to take another look at this circle of high-end players.

"So, why would other departments come to poach me? Try to recruit me? They probably all have ulterior motives. If I'm blinded by immediate gains, I'll definitely come to a bad end."

“My bottom line is that I keep my promises and adhere to principles. If I were to betray Night Owl for personal gain, Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue would probably think I’m nothing special. If I can betray Night Owl for personal gain today, I’m afraid they won’t trust me when they fall into trouble again in the future… Wait, no, damn it, this widow has such a cunning mind. Is she using Night Owl as a litmus test?”

Li Wei suddenly realized this, then shook his head, so maintaining a good reputation seems to be very beneficial.

Fortunately, he has always been a person of good reputation.

"We need to vote out He Yuying's plot kill at the end of this month, and six more players will be added next month. It's quite troublesome. Of the six players, five are designated players."

"The month after next, Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi will leave. I can only let Thomas, Leon, and Zhao Xuanxuan stay for another three months, at most until next spring. So at that time, there will definitely be experts leading a team to raid my territory, and that will be the weakest time for my territory."

Li Wei's eyes flickered slightly. He had a bold idea: could he turn He Yuying to his side?

She must be feeling terrible right now. She's a seasoned four-star player, but she was eliminated by the plot in the first month. Even if she gets compensation when she goes back, her reputation is ruined.

She's not the kind of player who gives up easily; as a four-star professional, she still has great ambitions, and she has a chance to seize a territory in the next round of side quest expansion.

Rather than having several players with even more impure motives crammed in next month, He Yuying is actually doing quite well; at least she's already revealed her hand.

Thinking this, Li Wei fell asleep again and quickly drifted off to sleep, needing to replenish his mental energy.

It's great to sleep soundly until dawn and feel refreshed and fully recovered.

Li Wei immediately consumed two free attribute points to raise his perception attribute to +3. This was a routine practice; the daily consumption was small, but the effect was explosive.

Also, if he wears the Tracker title and becomes Perception +5, can he be exempted from Liang Yuzhi's Inspiration Analysis?

"Clang clang clang!"

The crisp sound of hammering echoed as Zhao Xuanxuan resumed her daily forging work; she had accumulated a large backlog of orders.

However, as long as a five-star stay card is used on her, the next four months should be enough. Not only can she train at least three excellent blacksmiths for the camp, but she can also forge enough weapons and equipment.

Furthermore, the tailoring and armor-making professions both require specialized personnel, which Li Yue has arranged. In addition, with the training of Isabel and her mother by Liang Yuzhi, they will be able to play a role within a year.

Another question is whether we can train a spellcaster ourselves?
A farmer + a mountain dweller + apothecary + a scholar will inevitably produce a spellcaster, right?

It would be great if we could train even one, although the resources required would be enormous.

Liang Yuzhi is already 91 years old. She has been a member of the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens for more than 60 years. How much experience has she accumulated?
So training a spellcaster might take ten or twenty years. Putting everything else aside, the farmer's fate is just too damn hard to obtain.

"Good day, my lord!"

After breakfast, Li Wei went downstairs and was greeted by the free citizens he encountered. At the same time, he was able to get an instant understanding of the use of all free citizens and even family members through the prestige card system.

The mining team in Lyon has set off.

Nelson and Lenore were discussing how to expand the underground space and build more lead alloy devices to withstand radiation storms.

Isabel, her mother, and two other girls around twelve or thirteen years old were processing the herbs they had collected. These two girls were the new free people who had arrived yesterday. Their primary occupation was mountain dwelling, so Li Wei had assigned them to the pharmacist group. Currently, the group's supervisor was Liang Yuzhi, and the deputy supervisor was Isabel's mother.

In short, I'm grateful to my second aunt, Liang Yuzhi. She really taught me. Isabel's first profession is farmer, and her second profession card is the rather valuable apothecary card.

Even if Liang Yuzhi leaves after settling accounts, the territory's medical needs can be met by Isabel, the pharmacist, and her mother.

Also, Isabel's third career card could assign her the Mountain Dweller profession, so she would only need one Scholar card to become a beginner witch. Thinking this, Li Wei walked down to the third floor, but didn't see Liang Yuzhi.

Ah-Dai disappeared. It was requisitioned by Liang Yuzhi again and went to the northern mountains early in the morning to collect herbs. For some reason, Li Wei felt that Ah-Dai was undergoing a cruel training, and the trainer was Liang Yuzhi. This woman shouldn't have left any hidden dangers in Ah-Dai's body, right?

It's quite possible. For example, if Li Wei wants to kill Liang Yuzhi in the future, Adai will likely notify him either proactively or passively.

This wicked, eccentric old widow is capable of anything.

But precisely because of this, Li Wei believed in her sincerity. She had offended too many people, and too many people wanted to kick her when she was down. After experiencing the fickleness of human nature, her mind would naturally change.

Once you get to the second floor, it's a world for children. After yesterday's addition, there are now 42 children under the age of 8 in the camp.

The babies were nursing, the older ones were rolling around, the still-older ones were fighting over toys, and the oldest ones were playing hide-and-seek. To manage them, the camp had to assign twenty women to oversee them.

Of course, fourteen of these twenty women were breastfeeding mothers.

In short, the conditions can be relaxed.

In addition, no adult males live on the second floor anymore; they've all moved to the first floor to avoid any unpleasant incidents—it's a matter of humanistic care.

Anyway, Li Wei only stayed on the second floor for a short while before getting a headache and leaving quickly.

It is worth mentioning that all children aged 9 to 13 are currently assigned to apprenticeships, which are not physically demanding. For example, they are assigned to pick vegetables in the kitchen, apprentice in the pharmacist group, keep accounts in the warehouse, learn construction knowledge from Nelson and Lennox, and learn practical skills such as appliance repair.

In the future, experience with these skills will become an important condition for upgrading professional cards.

In addition, these free citizens do not need to pay gold coins when they are promoted; it is all paid by Li Wei, the prospective lord.

They only need to gain enough experience and obtain a level-up token of varying quality to level up.

After touring the camp from top to bottom, Li Wei was very satisfied. The internal operations of the Level 5 scavenging camp were now on track. Even if he was away from home for a month, the camp could still operate according to the established rules and regulations. Moreover, with Nelson as the general manager and the heads of various departments, Li Wei never had to worry about any omissions or deficiencies.

Therefore, the monthly main quests are no longer necessary for Li Wei.

But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have to do anything.

So Li Wei went back to the 5th floor, changed into his armor, put on his tactical backpack, and took his weapons downstairs.

While others were thinking about how to survive the radiation storm a month later, he was thinking about how to deal with the problem of raiding their base next spring after Thomas, Leon, and Zhao Xuanxuan had settled their accounts and left.

So what else is there to say? Of course, we must vigorously train the free people.

"Mark, come with me!"

"Mark, Mark..." Mark, who was helping Javier transport supplies on the first floor, ran over happily.

Li Wei then called on Benjamin, Santiago, Javier, Carter, and others. Farm No. 4 has already been harvested, while Farm No. 5 will take another ten days to half a month. Since corn is planted there, the task of patrolling and driving away the mutated birds will be much easier.

Leaving a few patrolmen will suffice.

After leaving the city wall, Li Wei took another look at the 108 junior ability users who were isolated in tents outside. They were drinking blood resistance potion, and this was the fourth time they had drunk it. The effects were finally starting to show, with many people vomiting and having diarrhea, screaming and screaming in agony.

But this is actually a good sign, indicating that the radiation blood plague toxin has already started a war in their bodies. The battle is currently fierce, and they only need to continue taking it for two more days to stabilize the situation. Moreover, Liang Yuzhi is collecting herbs, and the two-star medicine will soon be mass-produced.

Speaking of which, Isabel has already learned how to prepare a one-star blood resistance agent.

However, the formula for the two-star blood resistance drug appears to be unavailable for donation.

With that in mind, Li Wei led Benjamin, Santiago, Javier, Mark, and the others to a wide open space.

He smiled and said, "Next year, we can build an even larger wall and a training ground, because daily training is also very necessary and requires perseverance. Gentlemen, starting today, we will set aside half a day each day for training."

"Come on, all of you come at me together, but be careful not to hurt yourselves."

Li Wei casually took off his enchanted greatsword and got into a fighting stance.

This scene left everyone looking at each other in disbelief. Even Thomas and He Yuying, who were not far away, couldn't help but look over. Using a four-star enchanted weapon for training? You're practically slaughtering people!
