Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 81 One-Star Mountain Dweller Card
That very night, as Li Wei brushed past Thomas, he traded a stone he had picked up to Thomas.

Well, it's that simple.

500 quarrying experience points were obtained instantly, triggering a notification.

"You have gained 500 quarrying experience points, but because you cannot unlock the third profession, you cannot further activate the binding. Do you want to obtain a one-star stonemason card that can be traded anonymously?"

Li Wei confirmed it in his mind. In the blink of an eye, a layer of mist seemed to shroud him and then disappeared in an instant. In his hand, there was a card with stone texture.

This object feels almost tangible to the touch, yet it can disappear and reappear at will.

Good.

The Stonemason card also corresponds to a profession that requires heavy physical labor, and can be fused with a 1-star Lumberjack card or a 1-star Miner card to become a 1-star Stamina card.

I wonder if 200 stamina points are enough to trigger the first level of awakening?
In that case, would he switch to a warrior specializing in physical strength?
Li Weiting is looking forward to it.

The following night, he completed the transaction with Penny using a tree branch, and Penny gave him a variety of experiences.

These are 200 farming experience points, 100 gathering experience points, 100 fishing experience points, and 100 construction experience points.

At this point, his total experience points have increased again: 895 hunting experience points, 408 farming experience points, 400 fishing experience points, 400 gathering experience points, 100 construction experience points, 36 decomposition experience points, and 368 family contribution points.

However, by the end of this month, as agreed, he must use 60 family contribution points to impeach Fila.

If he can gather another 500 points of logging or mining experience, and another 100 points of fishing experience and 100 points of gathering experience, he can get three more tradable one-star cards, and might even be able to fuse them into a new one-star attribute card.

This deal was still worthwhile.

In the following days, after finishing irrigating the farmland, Li Wei would wander around the edge of the forest under the guise of patrolling, partly to hunt prey and partly to gain gathering experience.

Yes, the forest is already showing signs of green, and you can often find some bright green wild vegetables among the withered grass.

He wasn't just doing it haphazardly. These past few days, Fila had also started collecting wild vegetables all over the mountains and fields. Thanks to her, Li Wei now recognized many wild vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, bracken, and toon sprouts. As for dandelion, it goes without saying. He also recognized several kinds of herbs.

Armed with a knife and hoe, I dug up whatever I found, and I actually gained 5 gathering experience points in total, both in the morning and afternoon.

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can gather more herbs and even accumulate 10 gathering experience points.

It was so great that Li Wei was too lazy to even hunt anymore. How could pheasant compare to the aroma of wild vegetables?
However, he didn't venture too deep into the forest; he just wandered around the outskirts, which was enough for him.

And just like that, twenty days of the month had passed in the blink of an eye. He had successfully accumulated 500 gathering experience points and obtained a one-star mountain dweller card.

"Mountain dweller? Is that even considered a profession?"

Li Wei was very curious. It seemed that the job classification in this live-action game was quite detailed. The mountain dweller job should be the first priority for gathering, right?
Also, the description of this one-star mountain dweller card is quite interesting.

[One-Star Mountain Dweller Card, activated upon binding, grants a profession talent: an additional +1 Agility, 10% increased movement speed in mountainous terrain, improved efficiency in gathering mountain resources, and a 30% chance to discover more valuable mountain resources.]

Indeed, this is a profession born for gathering, and it's an agile one at that.

"So if I can get a class card that also increases agility, I can synthesize a one-star agility card? For example, the Fisherman card. The Fisherman class should have more agility, right?"

Li Wei was very excited about this, even feeling that the sky was bluer, the grass was greener, and the sun was brighter. He was very happy. However, the next second, a very special message that emitted a cheap golden light appeared in front of him.

[Family member Margaret successfully crafted a two-star quality leather armor, significantly increasing the family's wealth. She has exceeded this month's main quest target and has earned a special title—Armor Maker. Wearing this title will automatically grant her 10 family contribution points. Other benefits are unknown.]

[Friendly reminder: This message will only appear outside of combat.]

— Damn! Two-star leather armor! Li Wei's mood immediately soured. The veteran player's methods are really awesome.

He immediately rushed back to his family camp.
He was genuinely interested in the two-star leather armor.

Because chainmail is ultimately too heavy, he, as a hunter, is better suited to light armor.

The bandit leather armor he was wearing only provided +3 defense, which wasn't even a one-star quality.

Missy's small chainmail set, although it provides +10 body defense, is too small and doesn't fit properly.

When Li Wei returned to the family camp, he found that everyone in the family was in an uproar. Some were surrounding Margaret, showering her with compliments, while others were examining the two-star leather armor in the warehouse. Everyone was tempted.

Oh, no, Thomas wasn't very interested. When he saw Li Wei rushing back, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

Margaret immediately stepped forward and, before Li Wei could react, gave him a big hug and even kissed his cheek.

“George! I really want to thank you. Without your help, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to make such good leather armor. You are truly a hero of the family. Your name will surely resound throughout the mountains and forests, George the Bear Hunter! I am so proud of you!”

What the hell is that?!
Li Wei was a little confused, but an alarm bell immediately went off in her mind.

He certainly knew why Margaret thanked him, because he had killed a black bear so that Fila could skin it and tan it into a two-star bear hide, which Margaret could then use to make a set of two-star leather armor.

The source is with him.

If Margaret wants to create another set of two-star leather armor in the future, will she have to continue hunting bears?
That bitch has all sorts of brilliant ideas.

“Margaret, you’re exaggerating. It sounds like you’re joking.”

Li Wei struggled to break free, feeling a bit unlucky.

“George, Margaret is not joking. You really are an excellent hunter. The name George the Bear Hunter is well-deserved. Come, come, take a look at this leather armor. I think it suits you best.”

Thomas laughed and pulled Li Wei into the warehouse. There, on a piece of wood that had been made into a dummy, a set of exquisitely crafted leather armor was hanging. Even a person with poor eyesight could see that this was an extraordinary item.

Li Wei touched it, and immediately his bound two-star hunter card appeared automatically, displaying the relevant attributes of the leather armor.

It's really different.

【Type: Standard Leather Armor, Two-Star Quality, Light Armor】

【Materials: Bear skin, cowhide】

[Feature: Increases concealment when moving through mountains and forests and at night]

[Attributes: Defense +12, Burden +1]

[Friendly reminder: This is an important family asset, belonging to everyone. If an individual family member applies to use it, it can be used within the mission period through a vote by all family members, but it cannot be taken out of this world.]

[If you wish to take this item out of this world, you need to initiate an auction based on the base price. All family members can participate in the auction, and the highest bidder wins.]

[Note: The base price is 5 standard gold coins, and each bid must be at least one standard copper coin.]

[Note: After completing the mission, significant family assets will be converted into standard gold coins and distributed equally among all eligible family members at this stage, except in special circumstances.]
