Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 53 Level 3 Family Camp

(Thank you all for your monthly votes. Wishing you all a happy holiday in advance.)

Almost instantly, the vote on Li Wei's plot-driven death was completed. As expected, Fila and Leon chose to agree, resulting in three votes in favor and one vote against, thus passing the plot-driven death.

Penny chose to use 5 contribution points to avoid being killed in the plot.

She should still have 70 or 80 contribution points left. Of course, a mere plot-driven death can't do anything to her. However, while Li Wei only needs to spend one contribution point to initiate a plot-driven death, she needs 5 points to be exempt.

Weakening your competitors is a way to strengthen yourself.

Why not?
Moreover, Penny made a mistake this time. Normally, an exemption would grant her a 30-day protection period, but now she can no longer enjoy that rule.

If not now, when?
Sure enough, Fila followed up almost immediately with a second plot-driven kill. She's really a loving mother!
[A professional chef orchestrates a plot to kill off her daughter, Penny, hoping that within 24 hours, she will become disoriented from excessive grief over her deceased fiancé and drown!]

Li Wei immediately agreed, and Lyon also agreed expressionlessly.

It was another three votes in favor and one against; the plot-driven death was confirmed.

Penny's expression was somewhat gloomy.

[The professional craftsman *** consumed 5 contribution points, thus gaining immunity from this plot-driven death.]

Not bad!

The next second, Leon launched the third plot-driven kill without hesitation.

[A professional craftsman orchestrates a plot to kill off his sister, Penny, hoping she'll sneak food into the kitchen due to extreme hunger, only to choke to death on a bone!]

Grass!
Really ruthless.

Li Wei almost burst out laughing. Ang here is quite a talent!
【agree! 】

【agree! 】

With three votes in favor, the plot-driven death was confirmed. Penny's expression was already clouded with worry. She had always felt that she had devoted herself to this family. Although she had made some mistakes, her contributions were also enormous. How come there wasn't even one person who understood her?

It really chilled her to the bone!
The worst part was that he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only watch helplessly as Fila looked at him with a loving expression, and grit his teeth and spend another 5 contribution points to avoid being killed by the plot.

In less than half a minute, 15 contribution points were gone.

And this won't be the end; it will happen again next month.

This is the punishment.

It's equivalent to 30 contribution points evaporating, while the opponent only pays one contribution point per person.

Damn it! Damn it!
However, this battle of plot-driven deaths is not over yet.
Fila looked at Ang with loving eyes at this moment, and without hesitation launched another plot-driven kill.

It would be beneficial to weaken Leon before his total family contribution reaches 50 points and he becomes a family elder. Only in this way will Leon work hard and fish desperately.

Fira needs a one-star quality catch!

Three to one, the plot kill passed, and Leon had to spend 3 contribution points to avoid the plot kill. However, this time he was very calm, like a veteran.

At this point, the family fell silent again. Li Wei and Fila were both family elders, and to impeach them would require at least 50 contribution points, which was too high a price to pay, so they remained at peace.

After waiting for about ten more minutes, several new lines of information appeared, this time visible to everyone, somewhat like a six-month summary, quite different.

Despite the unfortunate deaths of several family members due to various accidents during the family's development, the family's growth has never stopped. To date, the family has a sturdy camp, a house large enough to shelter from the wind and rain, sufficient and sophisticated tools and weapons, farmland to sustain the family, and enough food to feed six people for four months. Furthermore, they have eliminated a small bandit camp. Therefore, the family camp has now been upgraded to level 3, capable of accommodating a total population of six.

[Two new players will join the camp within the next 24 hours. Their identities will be determined based on their current family status and the family member who performed best in the most recent mission cycle.]

The new players are—George's childhood friend, Thomas, the blacksmith's son, and Penny's close confidante, Margaret, the seamstress's daughter.

Wow, these two new players are clearly different. The blacksmith's son and the tailor's daughter seem to be even more skilled veterans than Missy.

They're just revealing their professions directly, no need to hide it anymore, right?

It seems that as the family camp upgrades, new players become stronger and stronger. Is there some kind of pattern to this?

Thinking this, new information appeared. This time there was nothing special about it; it was simply that his family contribution was the highest, so he was honored to become the head of the family again and could issue various tasks, and so on.

However, next month will basically mark the beginning of winter, with half a month of late autumn and half a month of early winter, the season when everything withers.

At this point, much of the work had to be stopped and could not be carried out.

So this is quite a pain. As the head of the household, I can't exactly say we're going into hibernation this month. The four of us are just enough for one game of mahjong, oh, and there are two substitutes.

That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it would mean running out of resources and potentially ending up with a negative score on the completion evaluation.

The head of the household's task is to take initiative and make the family grow and develop based on the actual situation of the household.

Ordinary people can take holidays, but they can't.

Right then and there, he asked Fila, "Mom, are all the wild berries on the mountain almost gone?"

"Most wild fruits have long since fallen, but the chestnuts on the north slope are perfect for picking. They are big and plentiful; I'm afraid I won't be able to pick them all by myself."

Fila replied casually, "She's watertight. This old fox is really impossible to deal with. But then again, Fila has made a huge contribution to the family's food reserves over the past six months."

"Mom, please bear with me for a while. Once my sister's legs are better, she can come and help you."

“No, I can’t bear to leave my precious daughter. Penny needs to rest more. I’ll just pick them myself,” Fila quickly said. She was still very wary of Penny; it had become a conditioned reflex.

As for asking the two new players for help, after experiencing Leon and Missy, Fira probably doesn't have the ambition to compete for the head of the family anymore. Besides, these two new players look like they're not simple, so who would want to go looking for trouble?

"Okay, that's settled then."

Li Wei smiled and then looked at Penny, "Sister, don't worry, just focus on recovering. That's your biggest task."

"Row!"

Penny nodded obediently, and even smiled at Li Wei. The gloomy mood from before had disappeared, and she was very calm, showing no signs of madness.

It's obvious that she can't do anything this month. She's suffered setbacks in all aspects, and it will be difficult for her to make a comeback.

Next, Li Wei looked at Lyon. This kid had been quite active this past month. While completing the main quest, he got up early every day and used his rest time to go fishing. He could catch several fish almost every day and immediately donate them to his family.

So even though he's still relatively unknown, once the main quest ends this month, his family contribution level should be at least 40 points.

Therefore, Lyon will be absolutely ambitious next month.

"Leon, what are your thoughts?"

Li Wei pondered for a moment before asking the question.

"Brother, I want to go fishing?"

Lyon immediately said that he was reaping the benefits of his profession. Last month, his main task was to take care of the blast furnace and make charcoal, which only added up to 8 contribution points. However, he used his rest time to fish and donate the fish to his family, which earned him at least 20 contribution points.

Isn't it obvious which side has more and which side has less?

Upon hearing this, Li Wei frowned slightly and immediately looked at Fila, "Mom, I need to know about the family's current food reserves."

Fila was responsible for the family's three meals a day and was also the warehouse manager, receiving all the supplies, so Li Wei needed to find out the details.

“Well—George, Mom is getting old and can’t remember that many things, but I promise it will be enough.”

This is clearly an excuse, but it can't be said to be inconsistent with the facts and logic.

Li Wei stood up abruptly, turned around and walked out of the room. "You, Fila, are too old to explain clearly, so from now on, you don't need to manage the family's warehouse."

“George, I remember now. Sit down, kid. It’s cold outside, and you’re all sweaty. Don’t catch a cold…” Fila hurriedly called out. If Li Wei really finished taking inventory of the supplies in the family warehouse, then next month, the main task of supplies management would have to be handed over to Li Wei.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Fila pocketed the money; that wouldn't make sense in the story. Rather, she was being vague, hoping that Leon would continue fishing and try his best. If he could catch a one-star quality fish, she would still be the second beneficiary.

Li Weiyi understood this little scheme immediately.
