Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 18 Indiscriminate Fire (Bonus chapter for the Alliance Leader, Old Five from Wuliang Mountain Dormitory)

Sitting by the campfire where Fila was cooking, Li Wei thought for a moment and then said to Fila and Penny, "Last night, when I was keeping watch outside, I encountered a few wolves. You should be careful when you go out from now on."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the newcomer Sam immediately became very nervous, his face turning pale. Penny, however, didn't seem to care. "Don't worry, my dear brother, even if a wolf comes, I can chop it down with one axe!"

As for Fila, she didn't seem particularly surprised or taken aback, but she didn't say anything.

It's clear she doesn't want to trigger new plot developments.

Or perhaps she wasn't afraid of those wolves?
Li Wei speculated and observed. After eating, he went into the house and fell asleep immediately. He slept until the sun was high in the sky. Apart from being a little hungry, he felt great and his strength was bursting.

Stepping out of the house, I saw Fira already leading the cow out to gather again.

They weren't worried about the wolf pack at all.

Penny and Sam were busy as bees.

"Let's make the fence today."

Li Wei thought to himself that he never wanted to patrol the wheat fields at night again, much less confront the wolf pack.

He was experienced in making fences, and the materials could be selected directly from the firewood section; these were all family property, so there was no need to be polite.

Although he didn't have any suitable tools, Li Wei was full of energy and seemed to have inexhaustible strength, so he made quite a lot of progress.

He didn't even need to dig a hole; he just stuck a wooden stick into the ground, then picked up a rock and smashed it down into the ground until it reached a certain depth.

These wooden sticks are then tied together and secured with woven straw ropes.

While it certainly can't withstand a wild boar's charge, it's enough to protect against most small animals.

In just one day, Li Wei completed the construction of the wheat field fence.

He didn't even feel particularly tired or excessively hungry. Even in the evening, when his condition was at its lowest, his stamina didn't drop below 50 points.

He hadn't even had dinner yet; he just sat on the ground and rested for less than five minutes, and his stamina started to surge by +1+1.

After dinner, the recovery speed was even faster, and it only took less than half an hour to recover to 90 points.

In this state, I could easily work through the night for three days and three nights without any problem.

Then look at the new guy, Sam. He didn't actually do much work that day, but he was already exhausted and looked like a dead dog. He couldn't even see Penny giving him the eye.

As for Penny, she was full of energy, but Li Wei couldn't figure out where she had allocated her free attribute points.
Her brick kiln was already built and lit, billowing black smoke and flames shooting high. To be fair, her craftsmanship was quite good.

"Penny, do you need me to help with the night watch and add firewood?"

Li Wei took the initiative to walk over, not to show goodwill, but to get involved, just like when he participated in building houses and thus received free accommodation.

He still hoped that Penny's blacksmith shop would be completed so that he could have his shovel repaired.

Yes, that's all he wants.

"Oh, my dear brother, you've had a long day. How can I bear to let you help me? Go and get some rest."

Penny wore a friendly smile and spoke words of concern, but her eyes held a hint of mockery. "Only now do you think of currying favor with me? Too late."

"OK then."

Li Wei was not surprised. He turned around and went back to his room to rest. In fact, he also had to complete the land reclamation task assigned by the head of the family.

Previously, even after working himself to the bone all day, he could only cultivate 30 square meters of land.

But now he can easily manage 40 square meters a day without any problem.

One mu of land is only 660 square meters, and he has already cultivated nearly 400 square meters. He can finish it in a few days at most.

Then he can do other work, such as cutting down trees, hunting, or fishing.

The wolf pack is a bit tricky to deal with.

It's obvious they're targeting them, but it's more likely they were spawned after leveling up to camp level 1.

Yes, that's one possibility.

He slept soundly through the night, and even the howling of wolves did not disturb his sleep.

The others, however, were trembling with fear, as if facing a formidable enemy, especially Fila and the newcomer Sam, who finally believed what Li Wei had said.

The former was menacing, holding a short knife, looking ready to fight the wolves to the death, while the latter was on the verge of collapse, trembling with fear.

As for Penny, she didn't step into her room all night, diligently burning her bricks.

This is someone who likes to stir up trouble.

However, as the saying goes, "every profession has its own secrets," and Li Wei had no idea what kind of boost Penny's two-star craftsman card could give her.
He only knew that he could now discern subtle details in the wheat seedlings that he would never have noticed before.

Especially the wheat seedlings and weeds, which are immediately noticeable at a glance.

Speaking of which, it seems like it's time to weed the wheat fields.

The next morning, after breakfast, Li Wei went to the makeshift warehouse and took out an old hoe from the broken oxcart.

This is a useful tool for weeding wheat fields, and it can also loosen the soil around wheat seedlings to promote their growth.

Entering the fenced-off wheat field, Li Wei was quite happy to see the lush, healthy wheat seedlings, as this was entirely his personal property.

Although it's only 150 square meters, it should be able to harvest about 100 to 200 kilograms of wheat. After all, his current professional talent can increase farmland fertility by 40%, which is comparable to modern fertilization.

Weeding is a relatively simple task, and even though Li Wei had never done it before, she quickly got the hang of it and finished it before noon.

Over the next few days, he continued to work hard in the adjacent public fields, and by the evening of the fourth day, he had reclaimed an acre of farmland, thus officially completing his task as the head of the household.

It could be said that the cultivation of this farmland was delayed for a month due to the lack of tools. Not only were all the other experience points he had accumulated consumed, but he also fell far behind Penny and Fila.

His chances of becoming the head of the family are slim for now.

At this moment, a line of information appeared.

[You have completed the task assigned by the head of the household and successfully cultivated one acre of farmland. You have gained 100 farming experience points and 5 family contribution points, bringing your total contribution points to 18.]

As soon as this message was posted, several more messages appeared in succession.

Here it comes, here it comes, the familiar plot-driven kill!

Penny and Fila, those two bitches, can't wait any longer.

Previously, Li Wei had not completed the task of cultivating farmland, which meant that the main storyline of the head of the family was still in progress, so he was not allowed to initiate a plot-driven death.

But now, we can finally be completely uninhibited.

[A professional craftsman has initiated a plot-driven death, hoping his mother, Fira, will be bitten by a poisonous snake within 24 hours. Do you agree? Friendly reminder: Whether you refuse, agree, or abstain, you will not need to pay experience points, and your choice will have a profound impact on subsequent quest storylines.]

[A professional chef is plotting a death, hoping his daughter Penny will be struck by lightning within 24 hours. Do you agree?]

[A professional craftsman, ***, has orchestrated a plot to kill off his younger brother, George, by wolves within 24 hours. Do you agree?]

[A professional chef is plotting a death, hoping her son-in-law Sam will be stoned to death within 24 hours. Do you agree?]
