Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 36 The Terrifying Experienced Player

Li Wei was stunned for two or three seconds before she realized what was happening.

Oh, this must be his fiancée, Missy. She's really ugly. Reality is definitely not a novel; beautiful women are always a rare find.

Um, wait a minute.

There's no one in the camp right now; Penny's gone mining, and Fira's taken Leon fishing and gathering.

So she must have wandered around the camp before finding her way here?
So, has she figured out the whole story?
Thinking of this, Li Wei finally awkwardly put on a surprised expression, preparing to say a few lines to remind the new player not to say anything silly.

But before he could even speak, the new player Missy was already so excited that tears streamed down her face. She rushed over like a little bird, bursting into tears, as if she had suffered so much hardship and injustice and was finally seeing her dearest person.

"George, it's great, George, it really is you! I almost thought I'd never see you again, sob sob..."

Li Wei was completely petrified, drenched in cold sweat.

Damn, this is a veteran player, someone who has definitely completed the game at least once, so he has certain privileges to know my identity and all my family relationships?

New players don't even know their own names or family relationships.

But why did she reveal that she was a veteran gamer?

In contrast, Li Wei's acting was clumsy and bewildered.

It's not that he lost control when this woman threw herself at him, but rather that he knew it was all fake, yet this woman couldn't see through the slightest trace of acting.

He could only stiffly pat her back and say it was alright, it was alright. The woman's performance was Oscar-worthy, making Li Wei look incredibly pale in comparison. If there had been a camera or an audience at that moment, he would have been the target of ridicule.

Honestly, he couldn't stop even if he wanted to; he could only stare blankly at the woman's fluid and captivating performance.

I almost got caught up in it.

Niubi!

And if her acting skills are so superb and powerful, one can imagine how strong and powerful she must be in other aspects. Li Wei suddenly realized that Penny might not be able to keep her position as the head of the family next month.

“George…”

At this moment, Missy let out a long sigh, looking at Li Wei with teary eyes. Although she was not good-looking, her deep affection and chilling performance made Li Wei feel like he was facing a formidable enemy, and he even had a physical reaction.

Damn!

Just as Li Wei was about to push Mi Qian away, she ran away first, her face flushed red with embarrassment. That look in her eyes—damn, she's a master!

“George, I’m hungry… Where are Fila, Penny, and Uncle Anson?”

“He’s dead, it’s unfortunate. As for Fila and Penny, they’re both fine. Leon is back too. I’ll go cook for you,” Li Wei answered honestly.

“George, you’re so kind, but I can’t let you cook for me. You must be tired from cutting down trees. Aren’t you planning to go to the province of Ver? So you’re planning to settle here? That house is so beautifully built, did you build it, George?”

Missy cleverly changed the subject, then stepped forward and gently wiped Li Wei's sweat. Tsk tsk, see that? The skills of a seasoned player. He was certainly amazed.

However, this also shows that experienced players only know the relationships between characters in the storyline, but not the professions of other players, so they're spying on them. But this isn't particularly important information; they'll find out sooner or later anyway.

Most importantly, she is his fiancée in his own storyline. He can't pretend to be mute when she speaks. For the past three months, Fila, Penny, and he have avoided communicating unless absolutely necessary, for fear of triggering some plot.

Look at how naturally others have made it all seem.

“Well, I’m not very good at this. Penny built it, and that blacksmith shop, you know? She even discovered a small iron mine. She’s so capable.”

Li Wei felt no psychological burden whatsoever, letting this veteran player fight with Penny and Fila. Three bitches make a show, and he would just watch the show.

"Really? Penny is amazing! But George, you're just as good. George, is there anything I can do to help you? Or do you have any plans for the near future?"

Missy looked at Li Wei with adoration and admiration, but Li Wei was already numb and just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.

“Phila took Leon fishing. They fished using woven baskets, which was amazing. Penny went mining. I’m in charge of reinforcing the walls. Winter is coming, and we need to expand the houses. But I’m only responsible for cutting enough wood. And when I have time, I’ll do some hunting. Oh, and the wheat fields, I’ll be in charge of the harvest.”

Li Wei spilled the beans like beans from a bamboo tube, recounting the main tasks for the month in one breath. Why bother? Anyway, there's no life-or-death struggle between them; it's just a competition for the head of the family. There's no need to suffer like this anymore, and he doesn't want to play along with Mi Qian's sentimental act.

Sure enough, Missy smiled at that moment, as if she had seen through Li Wei's thoughts.

And she did indeed obtain all the intelligence.

“George, it’s so good to have you here. I’m not scared at all anymore. You are my knight.”

Missy threw herself into Li Wei's arms again, but Li Wei was so numb that he didn't know what to say.

We're telling you veteran players, that's enough. Stop bullying and tormenting us newbies. And the worst part is, they have to play along and not even give us the cold shoulder.

After a long while, just as Li Wei was about to be forced to raise the flag, Missy skillfully slipped away, tilted her head back and said, "George, I was just thinking about it. You're all preparing for winter, but you've overlooked one thing: winter clothes. You don't have a single piece. Let me sew clothes for you. I saw some wolf pelts in the warehouse. I can sew one for each of you, and I can also weave a pair of straw sandals for each of you. But I don't know if Fila and Penny will agree?"

Ok?
Li Wei blinked, quickly regaining her composure. So, one of the professions of this veteran player, Missy, is a tailor?

Is her tailor card two-star or three-star?

Of course, this is not important intelligence, but some warm clothing is indeed needed in winter. Currently, those wolf pelts belong to the family and all family members are entitled to use them, at least in theory.

For example, after the death of his adoptive father, Li Wei could freely use the tools in the house, as long as no one else was using them.

So why did she ask that question?
Why would Fila and Penny object?

It's not logically sound either, is it?

Missy, I don't think she's trying to trap him.

In an instant, all sorts of thoughts popped into Li Wei's mind.

But in the end, he nodded solemnly, not because he was worried about any pitfalls, but because he had to follow the logic of the plot. His fiancée was going to take the initiative to sew clothes, and the family also had the relevant production materials. They were also facing the need to keep warm in the winter. What reason did he have to refuse?
Plot logic should take precedence.
