Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 285 Five-Star Item Card - If Heaven Had Feelings, Heaven Would Grow Old

This is a special BOSS who arrives late and has a procrastination problem, but it's not a big deal. So what if he's six stars? This is to give Li Yue a special gold card.

Then another line of information appeared.

[In the next 24 hours, six members will come to seek refuge with us. They are: Li Feng, the cousin of the head of the family, Li Wei; Li Guishan, the uncle of the head of the family, Li Wei; Liang Yuying, the sister of the second aunt Liang Yuzhi; Annie, the elementary school classmate of the second aunt Liang Yuzhi; Zhao Guozhu, the uncle of Zhao Xuanxuan; and Old John, the uncle of Lyon.]

As expected, six people showed up, but apart from Old John, who seemed to be an acquaintance, they didn't recognize any of the others.

Of course, it's difficult to tell from the name alone.

According to the rules, players who enter a mission using their real names are either very inexperienced or newbies without a code name. For example, Zhang Jinjun is likely his real name, and Zhao Xuanxuan is probably his real name as well.

Players who can enter using code names are usually mid-level players, relatively more skilled, such as Thomas and Leon.
However, players who don't use code names or their real names, but instead use random names, are even more powerful, like He Yuying.

However, above He Yuying, there is an even more powerful category: those who do not use code names, real names, or random names, but instead directly inherit the names of important supporting characters in the plot, such as Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi, who directly inherited the names of the two bitches who were eliminated in the first month.

It looks ordinary, but it's actually quite rare.

Therefore, at this moment, by applying these four scenarios, we can immediately distinguish the situation.

Li Feng and Li Guishan should be in the highest tier. This doesn't necessarily mean that these two characters will receive any special treatment, but generally speaking, they are players who are specifically designated.

Because the players you randomly match with won't have this name.

Then there are Liang Yuzhi's younger sister Liang Yuying, her primary school classmate Annie, and Zhao Guozhu. Considering their backgrounds and the level of difficulty, they are likely to be in the same category as He Yuying.

The last one is Old John, if this is the Old John that Li Wei knows.

The answer was soon revealed.

Because of the perilous nature of war and the outbreak of a radiation storm, the headquarters was not going to delay or engage in formalism. Li Wei ended the family meeting with just a few words, and six people had already emerged from the gray fog at the door.

Then the first person Li Wei saw was indeed Old John, George's uncle in the newbie village. It seemed that this person was from the tactics department.

Looking at the others, two men and two women, they were all four-star level, very strong, and their equipment was also very powerful. It seemed like they had a lot of talent and the advantage was in their favor.

Li Wei did not step forward to greet them or say anything; he simply sat at the dining table and watched quietly.

He didn't speak, but the others did. Lyon was the first to stand up, wave to old John, and greet him warmly, "Uncle John, how was your journey?"

"Thank goodness, we were almost stuck on the road by the radiation storm." Old John smiled slightly and quickly stepped forward to hug Leon.

At this moment, Zhao Xuanxuan also stood up, and immediately a scrawny old man in his fifties stepped forward and said flattering words cautiously. He was Zhao Xuanxuan's uncle, Zhao Guozhu.

But Liang Yuzhi didn't move, not even glancing at them, leaving her younger sister Liang Yuying and her elementary school classmates standing there.

However, these two were quite sensible. They jogged over and praised the older sister for being even more beautiful after not seeing her for several years, or simply presented her with a bunch of gifts.

Are you kidding me? Having the famous Widow Yang greet you? Are you kidding me?

Liang Yuzhi simply hummed twice, thus completing this step.

“Xiaowei, the radiation storm will reach its peak around midnight and will subside slightly by noon the next day. So I suggest we split into two shifts to take turns on guard duty. I will be in charge of the first shift, and Xiaoyue can be in charge of the second shift. If there is any emergency, we can work together to deal with it.”

Liang Yuzhi spoke in a rather imperious manner, as if she didn't even respect Li Wei, the head of the family, and that she was the true head of the family.

But Li Wei understood what she meant. For certain reasons, it was best for them to keep some distance from now on. With so many people around, they needed to be careful about many details.

Being present at the scene and not being present at the scene are two different things.

Of course, Liang Yuzhi probably meant another thing: that there was probably one or two tough guys among the people who came this time, and that you should be careful.

"Okay, let's do as Second Aunt says."

Li Wei gave a humble smile. Although he wasn't quite the little emperor ruling from behind the curtain, he was pretty close.

"Good boy, you're so obedient."

Liang Yuzhi smiled smugly, "Thomas, Leon, and Xiao Xuanxuan, the three of you will be in my class, along with my good sister, Annie, and Xiaoyue. You don't have any objections, do you?"

"Of course, whatever makes you happy, Auntie."

Li Yue spoke quietly, her voice cold and sharp. The clash of their auras in the restaurant was like the calm before a storm. Several kitchen ladies standing in the corner were so shocked that they didn't dare to breathe, not understanding what had happened. It shouldn't be like this, why did these two suddenly become so terrifying!
Yes, at this moment, Li Yue and Liang Yuzhi unleashed their full killing intent, their auras overwhelming.

In short, the guest has overshadowed the host!
After Liang Yuzhi led her group out on patrol, Li Yue gave Old John a cold look that made the four-star player tremble.

"Brother, how about the six of us make do in one class? What do you think?"

"I have no objection." "Brother, I'll go rest now."

Li Yue left Li Wei with a bright smile.

Only then did Li Wei slowly stand up and pat the back of the heartless pit chief Zhang Jinjun, whose back was soaked with sweat. In those short moments, he felt as if he had faced two bosses. Although he knew they were allies and could not do anything to him, he could not control his physical senses.

"Old Zhang, you should go and rest too."

"Ah? Good!"

After Zhang Jinjun fled, Li Wei looked at Old John and nodded to him. Old John immediately bowed and said, "Baron, please allow me to take my leave."

Soon, only three people remained in the huge restaurant.

Li Wei, along with his nominal cousin and uncle, should be father and son in the storyline.

They remained calm ever since they appeared, unmoved even by the powerful auras of Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue.

So, if things go as expected, the tricky idea Leung Yuk-chi hinted at is these two.

At this moment, Li Wei's uncle, Li Guishan, an old man in his sixties, smiled. Although he was dressed in casual clothes, he was leaning on a walking stick. He was spotless and had an extraordinary demeanor. His eyes were especially deep and dignified. He slowly stepped forward and came to Li Wei. He first straightened Li Wei's collar and then patted him on the shoulder. He didn't say anything, but he already had the feeling of being very pleased with his son.

The next moment, his eyes became slightly weary and sorrowful, as if he had recalled some past events. He still didn't say anything, but the atmosphere had become oppressive and tragic.

“Xiaowei, I just buried your parents last month. They couldn’t make it through the end, but seeing that you are still alive and well now, I think they must be very gratified.”

What the hell? You old man, are you trying to play a plot game with me?

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine, but he couldn't figure out what the other party was up to. So what if they brought up this part of the story? What could they possibly do?
This is a post-apocalyptic setting. I built this huge base from scratch. Even though I was saddened to hear this news, I didn't panic.

Therefore, Li Wei didn't even need to act; he only needed to remain silent, and there were no retakes.

At this moment, Li Guishan suddenly said, "Xiaowei, please accept my condolences. I just saw your second aunt Liang Yuzhi, but I didn't see your second uncle or your brother Li Qiao. Where are they?"

"They're dead."

"What! Second brother! How could you be so heartless..." The old man even started crying.

Li Wei watched coldly, thinking to himself, "What else can you possibly do?" Well, he wasn't in a hurry; he'd just watch your performance.

"dad!"

At this moment, Li Feng, the cousin who had been mostly silent, stepped forward and helped Li Guishan, who was in tears, to a seat. He fed him nitroglycerin pills and patted his back, acting as if it were a serious matter.

Li Wei watched from the sidelines, waiting and pondering the intentions of these two. They started acting right away without any pretense. What kind of play were they putting on?
Unfortunately, a few minutes later, Li Feng helped Li Guishan to rest. That was it. What the hell was going on?

This really confused Li Wei.

But in the next second, two lines of information appeared silently.

[Family member Li Guishan used the five-star item card—"Even Heaven Grows Old If It Has Feelings!" If he triggers a storyline involving the death of a family member within the next month, and the grief is too great, he will be allowed to act freely beyond the constraints of the head of the family, doing whatever he desires, provided it does not harm the camp's interests.]

[Li Wei, the head of the family, witnessed his grief, felt unbearable pain, and tacitly condoned it.]

what?
What the hell!

Li Wei was startled and immediately chased after him, only to see that Li Guishan had opened the sealed door leading to the rooftop at some point, then took out what appeared to be a fixed-wing powered paraglider and flew off to the west in a flash!
Holy crap! With a radiation storm about to erupt, you're not affected at all?

Li Wei, who had chased after them, was completely dumbfounded!
What are you doing heading west?
"Little brother, it's windy outside, come back quickly. Don't worry about your uncle, he just went out for a drive to clear his head, he'll be fine soon."

Li Feng pulled Li Wei along and started spouting nonsense with a straight face.

After glancing at him, Li Wei returned to the fifth floor. Li Feng closed the sealed door behind him, and the next second, a five-star sincerity card was activated.

“Li Wei, I think we can talk now. That guy was from the Ministry of Commerce, a powerful four-star lord who is about to be promoted to five-star. In fact, if he hadn’t been suppressing his cultivation level and strength to gain some kind of title, he would have advanced long ago. I won’t lie to you, he’s going to Scarface Glen’s camp. Their camp is about 500 miles west of your camp.”

“Last month you took down the Flame Duke, which was practically like breaking Scarface Glen’s third leg. So the Ministry of Commerce is in a real hurry. This old man will pretend to have lost all your intelligence information over there, or he can just give you a five-star conspiracy card. He can tell you all the secrets, including your personnel configuration, and he can even help Scarface Glen frantically use up his universal gold card this month.”

"This is a dangerous act and a serious violation. You can impeach him at the end of the month and get him out of the game. Your boss just needs to gather the evidence and he'll win every time. If there are no problems, his four-star territory will be confiscated within three months. The punishment will be severe. But there's more to this than meets the eye. It's like how someone with cancer would be happy to become a suicide bomber."

"This guy's four-star territory is about to go bankrupt due to mismanagement, and he doesn't want to do missions across borders. Anyway, you know, there's no way to prevent loopholes. This is an open conspiracy! What can you do? Say that the other party is fully responsible? But you'll still suffer the same losses."

"Even your boss, Night Owl, can't do anything about it. Before the end of the month, there are no rules that can restrain him. Five-star item cards plus plot cards, that's how awesome he is."

"Therefore, on behalf of the Logistics Department, I extend a sincere invitation to you, hoping that you can cooperate with our Logistics Department. You don't need to switch jobs or betray your boss. You just need to cooperate well with Ron. How about it?"
