Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 55 One-Star Sincerity Card
After issuing the monthly main quest, Li Wei was about to return to his room to rest when Penny suddenly spoke up.
“George, those two sets of leather armor don’t fit you quite right. Let me alter them for you.”

Ok?
Li Wei was surprised. These two sets of leather armor were currently his personal property, but he hadn't worn them because they didn't fit properly, and he was planning to have them altered sometime.

I never expected Penny to make such a request at this moment. Is there a catch?

"Sister, you're not feeling well, so let's not go," Li Wei tried to politely decline.

Penny, however, persisted.

“George, I only hurt my ankle, not my hand. Anyway, I’m not sleepy, and Mom can help. You’re going to the mine to mine ore tomorrow, and with a well-fitting leather armor, you’ll have more protection when you encounter wild animals.”

“Yes, yes, Penny is right.” Fila paused for a moment, then quickly agreed.

This really surprised Li Wei, but he could also guess the reason. Undoubtedly, the two veteran players who were about to complete the game had made Penny and Fila feel a great sense of crisis.

Therefore, at this time, the most important thing for the three of them is to stick together and cooperate, rather than continue to fight amongst themselves. This can be seen as a gesture of goodwill from Penny and Fila.

At the same time, this is probably also meant to trip up the new tailor, Margaret.

To prevent a situation like Missy's from happening again, which could give them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Since that's the case, Li Wei didn't refuse. Moreover, having a well-fitting leather armor would undoubtedly increase his safety level by two levels when he went out to log, mine, and hunt.

He slept soundly that night, while Fila and Penny were busy all night, seemingly bursting with great enthusiasm.

When he woke up, a complete set of leather armor had been modified, at the cost of another set being damaged. This was to be expected, and Li Wei agreed to it. Both sets of leather armor were made of tougher cowhide, which could not be replaced by wolf or rabbit skin.

After putting on the leather armor, Li Wei moved around for a while and thought it was great. Even though there were still a few flaws, they were no longer important.

Only at this moment did he feel he could be considered a qualified hunter.

Just then, Li Wei's heart stirred. He saw a gray fog swirling outside the camp, from which a tall, strong, and muscular man quickly emerged. His muscles were as solid as rocks, his gaze was cold, and he appeared to be around thirty years old. He had a large beard, wore a well-fitting set of leather armor and boots, and carried a clearly higher-quality axe on his shoulder. He exuded a murderous aura.

In any case, all four people in the camp, including Li Wei, were a bit confused.

Although they knew this was a new veteran player, they never imagined he could be this experienced.

This guy is probably on par with that bandit leader. And damn it, this burly guy in his thirties is his childhood friend, playmate, and best buddy?

If this game had a master GM, Li Wei would have a million complaints right now.

"Hey! George, my brother, I've been looking for you for ages, but thank the gods, at least you're still alive." The guy shouted, easily leaping over the barrier at the camp entrance, and strode forward to give Li Wei a terrifying hug. Li Wei's 10 points of strength were like a weakling in front of this guy.

"Thomas, it really is you!"

Li Wei forced a smile and greeted them, but he was also wary of this seasoned player who had cleared the game before.

"Haha, George, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

As the newcomer spoke, he released Li Wei, quickly glanced at Fila, Penny, and Leon, but didn't greet them. Instead, he took out a strange black card and waved it at Li Wei. The black card disappeared, but Li Wei immediately received a message.

"Professional warrior *** used an item on you—a one-star sincerity card. You and he can talk freely for the next ten minutes. The sincerity card guarantees that neither of you will lie."

Huh?
Li Wei was surprised to learn that such a magical item existed. Thomas then pulled Li Wei into the room and slammed the door shut. He then said in a calm and deep voice, "Brother, don't be surprised. Let's make a deal. This month, you need to find a way to trigger the monthly main quest for me. I'm willing to exchange relevant information for it."

Hearing this, Li Wei was even more surprised. He hadn't expected this person to be so direct. But what he didn't expect was that even a seasoned player who had completed the game had to adhere to the core principles of the game. This put him less worried.

What kind of monthly main quest do you want to trigger?

"Mining stones, expanding and upgrading the camp's walls to level two stone walls—of course, this can't be done in a month. I've used such precious items because I hope you'll assign me these main quests for the next three months. I also guarantee to complete the quests on time and not leave any stain on your record as head of the household. As a reward, I can tell you how to obtain a one-star stamina card. Otherwise, according to the normal process, you need to complete this mission and return to the All-Heavens Lords Alliance headquarters to learn this method, but that will be too late and you'll take many detours."

Li Wei was even more shocked. This information was explosive: a one-star stamina card, the headquarters of the All-Heavens Lords Alliance, wow.

However, he did not waver. Instead, he immediately frowned and said, "But at this stage, upgrading the camp wall to a stone wall does not conform to the objective laws of development. Our family's productivity does not require upgrading the stone wall."

Thomas was not surprised by Li Wei's attitude and calmly said, "Family camps at levels one to three are considered a gift for beginners and are not difficult to upgrade to level four. To upgrade to level four, you need at least 50% of all buildings to be stone buildings, as well as a series of related conditions."

"You can refuse now, that's fine, but in three months at most, or even less, I'll be able to take over the position of head of the family. Believe me, that's not a good choice. It will disrupt my plans and make me lose all my patience and goodwill towards you. Don't think that being a family elder will exempt you from being killed off by the plot. You don't want to gain an enemy and lose a friend because of your decision, do you?"

This guy is quite confident. Li Wei nodded and did not deny it. With such a strong and powerful guy, even hunting would be no problem for him.

Moreover, there is indeed no need to clash with the other party. Since upgrading stone buildings is a prerequisite for a level 4 camp, it doesn't matter, especially since he can also obtain relevant information and intelligence.

Li Wei nodded immediately.

"Okay, deal. But I can only guarantee that I can support you as long as I remain the head of the household, and only for three months."
