Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 75 Fila the Skinner

For two whole days and two nights, Fila didn't close her eyes.

Of course, no one else closed their eyes either, including Li Wei, because even if they couldn't help, or were just watching from the sidelines, a message would occasionally pop up.

[You witnessed the professional butcher's excellent dismantling skills, and you gained 1 point of dismantling experience.]

Seriously, Li Wei was convinced. He used to look down on Fira's professional chefs and butchers, thinking that one was a gatherer, the other a cook, and the other a butcher. What was so great about that? Anyone could do those things.

However, the reality is that two enormous objects, weighing over a thousand kilograms and over four hundred kilograms respectively, are right in front of you. One is a one-star quality item, and the other is a two-star quality item, both of which are valuable. If you cut the wrong spot with your knife, the quality of the material will be downgraded, or even rendered unusable.

As for Fila, all her operations so far have been excellent!
Over the past two days, while others may not know, Li Wei himself has gained 36 points of decomposition experience, all of which are rated as excellent.

It's easy to imagine that Fila reaped the rewards; indeed, she was the biggest winner.

But you can't just complain about this like a child.

As a hunter, he should be able to participate in the decomposition, but he would need to start practicing from scratch, beginning with the decomposition of pheasants, rabbits, fish, and shrimp. Even the decomposition of mice is a skill in itself.

Over the past year or so, Fila has indeed decomposed hundreds of rats, thousands of fish, hundreds of pheasants, a dozen rabbits, and a deer.

Only by mastering the skills in real life can you unleash the hidden advantages of the Hunter card.

In any case, Li Wei benefited greatly from this experience.

At that moment, lines of publicly available information appeared before everyone's eyes.

[The professional butcher *** skillfully dismembered a bear, earning her 5 base contribution points (main quest)]

[The professional butcher *** skillfully butchered a cow, earning her 4 base contribution points (main quest)]

[The professional butcher successfully processed and tanned two-star quality bear tendon and one-star quality beef tendon, significantly increasing her family's wealth. She received an additional 15 contribution points.]

[The professional butcher *** used her excellent skills to tan a two-star quality bear hide and a one-star quality cowhide, greatly increasing her family's wealth and earning her an additional 15 contribution points.]

[The professional killer has crafted five items of one-star quality or higher. Her contributions to the family are evident. She has earned the title "Skinner." Wearing this title automatically grants her 10 family contribution points. Anyone attempting to impeach her or initiate a scripted kill will be penalized with the corresponding family contribution points.]

-

Wow, Fila got the title!
Moreover, it's equivalent to gaining 49 points of family contribution.

As expected, he became the second winner after Li Wei.

The information that was still surfacing was about Thomas, Penny, and the others' gains over the past two days, which were basically 2 points of contribution. After all, although they lacked skills, they did a lot of dirty and tiring work.

Overall, it's a win-win situation.

However, judging from the way these guys exchanged glances, they were clearly plotting something, especially Thomas and Margaret. These two had props and experience, and they were obviously up to no good.

But it doesn't matter to Li Wei. His 368 points of family contribution are right there. Anyone who disagrees can come and challenge him!
Haha!

Unfortunately, this time, Fila was unusually determined. If she had been eager to try in the previous two months, this time, no matter how Thomas and Margaret tried to hint at it to her, she was determined.

Fila remained unmoved.

And just like that, the month came to a quick end.

After a hearty dinner, it was time for the monthly summary. Everyone had information presented to them, along with evaluations.

[Your leader remains conservative and mediocre, but his leadership is stable and secure. All main family tasks for this month have been completed, resulting in an unexpected and significant increase in the family's overall wealth. The family's ability to withstand external risks continues to improve. Furthermore, due to the harmonious and loving relationship among family members during your four-month term, there have been no effective impeachments or plot-driven deaths, and no family members have been injured or killed. All of this is sufficient proof of your excellent leadership skills, and you will receive an additional completion rating.]

[Furthermore, due to insufficient buildings within the family camp, the family camp remains at level three, with a total population of 6 people.]

You will receive an additional 8% bonus to your completion rating, bringing your total bonus rewards for completion ratings to a cumulative 38%.

[Due to your mistake, you have had 5 points of family contribution deducted. You will receive 5 points this month, bringing your current total to 368 points.]

[WARNING! As your family's total wealth and overall strength increase, your family camp appears to be nearing level 4. This will be a crucial milestone, signifying that your family's influence has reached a level that cannot be ignored. For example, a few small cabins might go unnoticed, but a nascent castle is enough to attract a lot of malicious attention. Unpredictable risks may arise soon. As the head of your family, please prepare in advance.]

Huh?
After reading all this information, Li Wei found the first few pieces of information to be mostly unremarkable and as expected, but the last piece of information really made him more vigilant.

Thomas previously mentioned that level 1, 2, and 3 camps are like the beginner's adaptation period, while level 4 family camps are the key. Could there be a monster siege storyline?
But isn't this a world of order and peace?
No, no, that's not how it should be understood. "Orderliness" should mean that as a family's strength increases, the pressure from the world also increases by an equal amount, not that as a family's strength increases, the pressure from the world remains the same.

That's not scientific.

Just like the wolf packs before, and the black bears not long ago.

Once the camp reaches level 4, it's likely that the storyline of the lord of Kah City coming to collect taxes or the bandits seeking revenge will be triggered.

In short, the pressure is immense!

If things go wrong, he, as the head of the family, could be impeached.

If a family member dies because of his policies, he must immediately step down, regardless of how much his family has contributed. If the situation is serious and he has made very obvious mistakes, he will be subject to continuous punishment, and the authority of the family elders will be temporarily revoked!
Penny's experience serves as a cautionary tale!

For a moment, Li Wei was really a little uneasy. Could he handle it well?

Back in his hometown, he was just a weak and insignificant office worker. Now that he's been given a second chance at life, he still doesn't have any cheat codes or special abilities!

While I was pondering this, the room was quiet. There were no plot twists or impeachments; everyone seemed to be behaving themselves.

Li Wei raised her head and glanced at Thomas, but Thomas, who was so thin he looked like a ghost, had a numb and empty face.

Then, glancing at Margaret, Li Wei thought, "Oh my, sister, you're so thin you're practically skin and bones. Even a ghost would look better than you." He winked at her.

But Margaret looked at him coldly, as if he were a clown.

what!
No movement!
It seems like next month is going to be a sure thing again. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief and cheered himself up. What's there to be afraid of? He'll deal with whatever comes his way. His training over the past three months hasn't been for nothing.

So what if it's a level 4 camp? So what if monsters are attacking the city? Next month he'll release the main quest, and everyone will gather to help Thomas build the city wall. With this city wall, at least we'll be invincible.

For a moment, Li Wei was filled with murderous intent and inexplicable excitement! Until a line of information suddenly appeared.

Impeach?

Someone has impeached him!

[Family member Margaret has impeached you, accusing you of failing to complete your daily patrols during this month's main quest, resulting in the death of the family's cattle. Based on the facts, the impeachment is valid! Because of your status as a family elder and your title of family protector, she has incurred a 20-point penalty and a 100-point family contribution penalty under the standard impeachment model. Family members are voting; you can see the voting process.] (Author: As reminded by a reader, the data has been corrected; this was indeed forgotten.)
My grass?

120 points! You can accept such a huge price?
Li Wei looked at Margaret in utter shock. A fleeting look of cruelty and malice flashed in her eyes, but it was as if it were an illusion, because the next second she turned into an innocent and harmless person, and even gave him a gentle smile!
Laughing!
