Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 72 Everyone is happy
So immoral!

This must be the sentiment of everyone except Li Wei at this moment.

I've never seen anyone so unethical, especially one who takes advantage of others and then acts innocent. If you saw someone like that on the street, it wouldn't be surprising if everyone shouted at them to beat them up!

Taking a month off to recover is indeed a viable monthly family priority, and it truly aligns with the logic of reality.

We can't expect people to keep working when they're exhausted.

The reason is perfectly valid, especially now that it is the time of the month to exercise the authority of the head of the household. Normally, one can rely on the minority obeying the majority to make things happen, but this is impossible now.

For a moment, apart from Fila, the other four members of the trio looked at each other in bewilderment. It was too ridiculous. Margaret's deception had no effect whatsoever!
We must argue our case based on reason!
However, they couldn't argue forcefully. First, they had to refute Li Wei's arguments based on facts and logic, and then find a more suitable explanation. Otherwise, once the main task of recuperation and rest was assigned, they would have to rest from the beginning of the month to the end, without even a chance to slack off.

After a moment of silence, a sharp glint flashed in Thomas's eyes, and a yellow card appeared on his forehead. He had also used a "Deceive Yourself" card to exempt Li Wei, the head of the family, from the task assignment.

Then, he went straight back to his room to sleep. Next month, he will continue to mine stone without hesitation. This is the most important stage to upgrade the family camp to level 4. That stupid kid knows nothing!
This time, only the three main fighters are left.

Faced with Li Wei's sincere and loving smile, they probably wanted to beat him into a pig's head.

Because it's really hard to find an excuse, and they're all exhausted right now, so how can they refute it?

After a long silence, Penny forced a smile. "George, you're right. This month has been exhausting, and I do need a rest. But it doesn't have to be a whole month. We can stop mining and do something else. Hmm, you should also need a spare recurve bow. I have a new idea."

“That’s right, I can help too. I can help design a few gadgets that will save you a lot of effort!” Margaret hurriedly said. Yes, this was the only chance. Face didn’t matter.

“I, I, I can help forge a few steel spearheads, George, I think you’re particularly suited to using javelins…” Leon also had a sudden inspiration and came up with an excuse.

Although neither making a new recurve bow nor crafting a steel spearhead is particularly convincing, Li Wei simply likes it.

He's the head of the household, so he can be as willful as he wants. Even though doing so will definitely make family members unhappy and reduce the month-end earnings, that's exactly the kind of control he wants.

"Ahem, indeed, I didn't think it through properly just now. Your suggestions are very good. Our family needs this kind of work-life balance. So let's make it that way."

"Sister, you and Margaret work together to make two spare recurve bows. Leon, you forge the steel spearheads. As for me, I'll continue to keep watch and patrol around the camp. Winter is almost over, and the wild animals in the mountains are hungry. They might come out and cause trouble, so everyone must be careful!"

Li Wei gave a sanctimonious speech, and then, under the complicated gazes of Penny, Margaret, and Leon, he consumed 3 points of family contribution to release the main quest for the following month.

Yes, making two recurve bows is not a problem if the materials are already available.

In fact, this was originally intended by Penny to be made and sold to him, so in a few days, as long as the task was completed, they could continue quarrying stone.

All in all, everyone is happy.

It's a bit of a pity, though. Next month, he won't be able to be so willful anymore. At that time, the battle for the head of the family will probably be extremely fierce and extremely cruel!
Fila, Thomas, Margaret, and Penny are all seeded players in the final round.

Lyon, on the other hand, is a heavyweight contender.

"After upgrading to a level 4 camp, there will definitely be some huge changes. Otherwise, Thomas wouldn't be so frantically throwing items at the camp and so confident that he can turn the tide. Well, let's wait and see."

Thinking of this, Li Wei thought of himself again. With the temperature rising this month, he still needed to continue training in archery and spear throwing. This winter, he had hardly suffered, his energy expenditure was low, and he had not only not lost weight, but had actually gained a few pounds. His body was brimming with boundless energy, like an explosion. He was in top form.

However, after this month, he will need to continue using one-star stamina cards.

Physical strength is very important.

This is his own profound experience during this period of training.

For now, his level one awakened life force, strength, agility, and defense are all quite good, equivalent to a peak, healthy adult male. The only weakness is his stamina, which makes it difficult for him to unleash a greater burst of power.

Especially the wooden spear throwing, a three-shot combo can consume 120 stamina points, which is shocking.

Generally speaking, Li Wei would only feel a sense of security if he raised his stamina to 200 points.

The rest of the night was speechless.

Li Wei would wake up every one or two hours to add firewood to the fireplace.

Around 1 a.m., he discovered that it was snowing again outside, and the ground was covered with a layer of snow.

Speaking of which, the rainfall in this area is quite frequent. Since he arrived, there have been a total of five heavy rainstorms, three heavy rainstorms, nine moderate rainstorms, twelve light rainstorms, two heavy snowstorms, and three moderate snowstorms. Combined with the temperature changes, he estimated that this place is probably similar to Northeast China, or it could be a region in Europe at the same latitude.

The statistics of these data can only be considered a hobby of Li Wei's. He casually writes and draws on wooden boards with charcoal, but this is also used as a reference for agricultural farming operations.

Regardless of its accuracy, having a reference is better than having none.

After all, his primary occupation was still farming, right?

If he fails to become the head of the household in the future and remains sidelined, he will have no choice but to focus on developing his career as a farmer.

"This damn weather!"

At five in the morning, Thomas got up and went out again with his tools. Even this tough guy was starting to feel the strain, which is why he was muttering curses under his breath.

"Thomas, you're really too tired, you can take a break."

Li Wei couldn't help but advise him. He was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see his own people suffer, especially since this was his childhood friend and his beloved relative.

Sure enough, Thomas was touched and managed a forced smile.

"I'm fine, George, you didn't sleep all night, you're the one who's had the hardest time."

Hahaha!
Li Wei admired Thomas's tough guy nature, so he threw a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace, found a comfortable spot nearby, and fell fast asleep.

When he was awakened by the aroma of food, he found that Margaret, Penny, and Leon had also just gotten up, still sleepy-eyed. Haha, isn't it great to sleep in?
Thank you to the head of your household.
