Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 124: Sophie Entering the Game Personally

Li Wei quietly looked at Sophie with a stern gaze. In the next second, two lines of information silently emerged before everyone's eyes.

[Family member Sophie has violated plot logic. She is forcefully penalized one random attribute point!]

[However, the Head of Household, George, must still respond to family member Sophie's questioning. If the response fails to convince everyone, an all-member vote regarding the wheat planting matters will be triggered.]

Good heavens!

Sophie had a smile on her face. Looking seemingly pitiful as she gazed at Li Wei, she was actually being provocative!

Because she simply didn't care. She was Leon's mad dog account, just like Margaret in the previous version, providing support and cover for Thomas. When it was inconvenient for Thomas to make a move, she had to transform into a mad dog and charge forward.

At the time, Li Wei hadn't understood where Margaret's malice towards him came from.

He only found out later that Margaret was a hired thug employed by Thomas to complete his Title Task.

It was the same now.

Sophie and Clyde must be thugs hired by Leon.So even though Sophie was penalized one random attribute point, it also created a difficult problem for Li Wei: he had to answer this question.

This was probably the legendary "Entering the game personally to triumph over heaven by half a piece".

Generally speaking, this problem was truly hard to deal with. If Li Wei couldn't provide a clear and logical explanation, it would inevitably lead to an all-member vote. But he had already seen the results of an all-member vote several times; he didn't hold the advantage!

At this moment, while everyone in the family was waiting for Li Wei to take the blow or suffer a crushing defeat—

Li Wei turned around and grabbed a dust-covered slate from an inconspicuous corner of the room. It was covered in various scrawled marks and symbols.

He placed the slate on the dining table, pointed at several symbols, and said to the crowd, "This is my record of the temperature changes, the number of rains and snows, and the dates of the frost period throughout the four seasons of the year."

"Based on this, we can make effective and reasonable arrangements for agricultural operations."

"As for the white bread you all just ate, did it taste good? But did you know that some of the wheat used to make it was planted five days later than today last year? At the time, I had absolutely no experience, but thank the gods, they matured before the frost period, and the harvest was quite good."

"Therefore, theoretically, as long as I can finish the land reclamation and sowing within the next ten days, there shouldn't be any problem."

"As for the enemy's attack and the family's perilous situation, I find that hard to agree with. If the enemy truly invades on a large scale, let alone whether these two acres of land undergo crop rotation, even if they were entirely planted with wheat, we still wouldn't be able to protect them. Will the enemy kindly refrain from trampling your wheat fields?"

"Therefore, crop rotation is still necessary."

Li Wei's speech was very calm, but the seven people in the family looked as if they had seen a ghost, completely dumbfounded for a moment!

Fuck, this works!

Sophie was stunned for several seconds, her eyes wide round. Motherfucker, one of this old lady's attribute points, just thrown into the sewer for nothing, without even a splash.

Is this still a recently graduated elementary school student?

For a time, the room was extremely quiet.

Both Leon and Clyde showed solemn expressions, and the Four Great Freelance Players were also somewhat dazed. Was this elementary school student really this badass? Had they done something stupid?

In the quiet room, Li Wei's voice continued to echo.

Like a god ruling over this family.

"Six acres of spring wheat will yield about 1,500 kilograms of wheat after the autumn harvest. There might still be some shortfall for the entire year's food supply, but it shouldn't be a major issue. It can be made up for through hunting and fishing."

"Besides that, next month, Uncle John, sister, you and Sophie will be responsible for mining iron ore and building roads. You must do your utmost, without wasting a single day, to mine and transport back as much as possible, because the month after next, I will no longer arrange this work."

When Li Wei said this, Leon, Clyde, and Sophie all snapped their heads up. Good heavens, you've even reserved the Head of Household position for next month? What a big tone.

Meanwhile, Old John and Penny frowned slightly, because what Li Wei meant was: work for me from the beginning of the month to the end!

Want to do private work? Sure, but you'll have to sacrifice your sleeping hours at night to do it.

You elementary school student are too ruthless!

But no one dared to speak up, dared to question him. They didn't even have an excuse.

Oh, you guys just held an all-member vote allowing everyone to eat white bread twice a day. What, you want to eat well but not work? Even landlords were never this extravagant!

At this time, Li Wei continued, "After harvesting and sowing, I will hurry to log and burn charcoal. But we won't need to burn charcoal on the west bank. I will build a Charcoal Kiln and a Material Yard on the east bank, burn the charcoal on the spot, and then transport it. This should save a lot of time."

Everyone remained silent, suffering in silence.

Burning charcoal locally on the spot wasn't a problem that was hard to think of. But the reason it hadn't been done in the past was because there hadn't been a vigorous demand.

In the past, the Small Blast Furnace that Penny built in the first version—what the heck was that?

It was resolved by randomly chopping down a few oak trees.

But now, Clyde claimed he could smelt 750 kilograms of molten iron a month. Don't underestimate this number; it was very badass.

Then, under the premise of not having found coal, charcoal was the only choice.

What a massive undertaking this was, especially since this elementary school student's third profession seemed to be a woodcutter. Fuck, you scooped up all the benefits!

Do you have any conscience at all?

[The Head of Household, George, consumed 10 points of Contribution to issue the Monthly Main Task (Note: The higher the difficulty of the Main Task, the greater the workload, and the more Contribution is required to be consumed).]

[After family member George's Main Task is completed, he will receive approximately 60 points of basic Contribution. His tasks include harvesting, plowing, irrigating, sowing, reclaiming no less than two acres of wasteland, logging an uncapped amount of oak, uncapped decomposition, building a charcoal kiln, burning an uncapped amount of charcoal, etc. The specific values will be calculated and summarized at the end of the month. Note: Additional Contribution is not included in this.]

[After family member Fila's Main Task is completed, she will receive approximately 60 points of basic Contribution. Her tasks include sun-drying, threshing, milling flour, making three meals a day, collecting herbs, making semi-finished herbal products, warehouse management, managing the stove fire, etc. Additional Contribution is not included in this.]

[After family member Sophie, Penny, and John complete their Main Tasks, they will receive approximately 60 points of basic Contribution. Their tasks include road clearing, transportation, mining, etc. Additional Contribution is not included in this.]

[After family member Clyde and Leon complete their Main Tasks, they will each receive 60 points of basic Contribution. Their tasks include building the blast furnace, maintaining the blast furnace, smelting, forging, repairing tools and weapons needed by the family, building an Arrow Tower, stone mining, limestone mining, calcining, burning charcoal, etc. If they craft One-Star Quality equipment or above, they will receive additional Contribution.]

[After family member Pete's Special Task is completed, he will receive 100 points of basic Contribution. His tasks include investigating the situation of Farmsteads and strongholds around Kakh City, understanding the scale of the Plague's development, and finding the lair of the Snow Mountain Witches. Additional Contribution is not included in this.]

[Friendly Reminder: Excluding the Special Task, the 60-point Monthly Main Task difficulty is already the highest difficulty in the current task world. It is not recommended to continue increasing the Monthly Main Task. Once this upper limit is exceeded, family members are very likely to suffer harm due to malnutrition or being overly exhausted. Please pay attention to the family's diet and logistical support.]

[Family member George's Family Contribution is below 100 points. His Family Elder title has been cancelled.]

——

As Li Wei issued the Monthly Main Tasks, lines of information emerged. Everyone's tasks were transparent, and so was their income.

This was different from the tasks during the Rookie Mission. Obviously, this was a rule set because the task difficulty had increased—both to greatly avoid infighting and to facilitate better competition.

After all, the destructive power caused by Senior Players and new players was different.

In order to guarantee an orderly and peaceful tone, reducing infighting was the best choice.

Additionally, Li Wei guessed there must be another reason: namely, after reaching a Level 4 Camp, this world's reaction to invaders would be more intense, tolerating no slow-paced development.

Of course, his guess might not be accurate. After all, at this moment, he hadn't even experienced a complete clearance task yet.

He didn't dare to jump to conclusions about future events.

At this time, with the issuance of the Monthly Main Task, it was equivalent to the dust settling.

Li Wei immediately stood up, grabbed his weapon and a sickle, and headed straight for the Wheat Field. He might not necessarily swing the sickle and harvest tomorrow, but he had to be ready to harvest at any time.

In fact, behind him, Leon, Clyde, Old John, Braised Egg Pete, Penny, Sophie, and even Fila all had a sickle in hand. Everyone planned to sleep on the City Wall.

As soon as the weather showed signs of rain or wind, they would immediately rush to harvest.

After all, who wouldn't like this kind of easy advantage!

Harvesting ordinary wheat was just harvesting, but harvesting One-Star Quality wheat truly gave extra Contribution rewards. Even though it was only about a fifth of Li Wei's income, it couldn't be stopped because of the large quantity!

After a flurry of activity, they could snatch two or three points, five or six points, seven or eight points of Contribution. And if we snatch more, won't you, the Head of Household, snatch less?

Then you'll have no chance to be re-elected as Head of Household next month!

This wasn't considered bullying or exploiting a bug; these complied with factual logic.

You couldn't say that when heavy rain fell, you'd rather let the wheat turn into mud than allow others to help, or that people wouldn't be rewarded for helping. What kind of joke was that!

At this moment, all seven of them were probably praying in their hearts for rain and wind: Oh God, open your eyes and look!

Because if they really let Li Wei successfully harvest these two acres of winter wheat all by himself, his lead would truly be impossible to suppress.

Fortunately, tonight the sky was cloudless.
