Chapter 15: Two-star Farmer Card
During breakfast time, all three of them remained silent, though the atmosphere was rather peculiar. Penny seemed to have a fire burning inside her, having directly turned dark, while Fila was like an old spider, sitting securely on her fishing platform.
Li Wei was just the invisible one.
Based on his estimation, Penny might compete for the Family Head position next month.
But he had no way out—this one acre of farmland had completely trapped him.
Calculating based on clearing twenty square meters per day, he would need to work hard for one month and three days to complete it. Only after finishing this would he qualify to do other things.
He could no longer get involved in Penny and Fila's battle for Family Head dominance.
After breakfast, Li Wei went to the wheat field and discovered that his small plot of wheat had already sprouted patches of tender green, which was quite pleasing to the eye. No wonder green was the color of hope.
He checked the fence again, carefully observing the surroundings for a while, making sure there were truly no signs of small animals before feeling relieved.
This fence, nearly one and a half meters high, was like an insurmountable chasm for most small animals.
Who knew what the final harvest would be like?It increased land fertility by 30%.
If he could level up his Farmer Card quickly, the effects would surely continue to improve.
Speaking of which, his current experience data was: 11 points of Family Contribution, 64 points of Farming Experience, 14 points of Construction Experience, and 15 points of Hunting Experience.
Not bad at all. He just needed to gather 100 points of Farming Experience to level up.
Work hard, young man!
Another dull and exhausting day.
However, Li Wei had become increasingly proficient at mastering the groundhog digging technique. Combined with seizing every second and working overtime, he successfully dug out thirty square meters of farmland before dark, smoothly earning 6 points of Farming Experience, bringing his total Farming Experience to a whopping 70 points.
The remaining experience was used as food expenses, enough to last him half a month.
As for Penny and Fila, he had stopped paying attention to them.
Whatever would be, would be. Right now, he was only left with the cycle of digging, eating, sleeping, and digging.
This continued for several days in a row, and Li Wei felt he was almost turning into a groundhog.
The dug-out farmland slowly increased, and finally, on the evening of the fifth day, he gathered enough Farming Experience to reach 100 points and could level up.
Li Wei was excited, nearly trembling as he summoned the One-Star Farmer Card. With his mental command, 100 points of Farming Experience poured into it.
Countless starlights shifted and merged, dreamlike and illusory. In the blink of an eye, the One-Star Farmer Card had smoothly upgraded to a Two-Star Farmer Card. At the same time, a stream of heat circulated and fused within Li Wei's body—the Two-Star Farmer Card was undergoing deep binding and fusion with him.
When the fusion was complete, he felt as if he had been reborn and completely transformed.
Then, lines of information appeared.

At the newly sown wheat field, Li Wei lit three bonfires and brought over a large amount of branches and firewood.
The household currently had no shortage of firewood at all. Over the past ten-plus days, due to the Family Head's restrictions, the branches Penny obtained from extensive woodcutting automatically became family property without needing donation.
This was the benefit of having a Family Head—it could minimize internal conflicts to the greatest extent.
This was also the path to getting the family on the right track.
However, this was only the surface-level task plot.
The more core aspect belonged to the players' interests.
Because completing tasks assigned by the Family Head only granted experience, it did not allow gaining Family Contribution through donations.
Li Wei hadn't forgotten the most basic clearance conditions for completing the task.
Survive for at least 36 months, and accumulate at least one unit of standard world resources.
The former was understandable, but what was the latter?
What exactly were standard world resources?
Currently, it could be confirmed that standard world resources were not ordinary items—not one unit of wood, one unit of wheat, one unit of meat, or such resources.
They were likely something like gold, silver, and treasures.
For example, ten gold coins, ten silver coins.
That requirement would be much more stringent.
But how could he obtain these so-called standard world resources?
The family needed to develop and survive, but it probably also needed external trade and communication.
So was that why Penny wanted to develop handicrafts?
Under the firelight, Li Wei held his Wooden Spear, patrolling along the edge of the wheat field while pondering this question.
"So, in the coming time, I still need to find a way to compete for the Family Head authority. This authority is just too important, especially when it comes to external trade and communication."
"But I can't act recklessly either. Fila and Penny are both excellent teachers—should I first watch how they fight?"
"As for me, I just need to secure my foundation. The farmland is my foundation."
Thinking of this, Li Wei calculated the time again. When he first arrived in this world, judging by the climate, it should have been early summer, roughly between May and June. Now, a month had already passed, and summer probably had less than two months left at most.
In the first month of autumn, the wheat could continue growing. By the second month of autumn, they would need to hurry with the harvest.
Then they would need to prepare for winter.
Firewood needed to be stored, Dried Grass needed to be stored, the house needed repairs and insulation, and more food was needed. Speaking of which, besides cooking and herding cattle every day, Fila had been constantly digging for wild vegetables and picking mushrooms. Some were made into Wild Vegetable Soup, while others were dried—all of which were her personal property.
She clearly had plenty of experience with surviving winter.
"Fila has probably spent at least half a year in this task plot; otherwise, she couldn't have accumulated so much wealth, especially that cow."
"Penny might have only been here for a few months."
"Interesting."
Thinking of this, Li Wei felt a sudden impulse and summoned the Two-Star Farmer Card. The attribute panel appeared accordingly.
Without hesitation, he first added points to Health.
[Health: 60 (Minor Illness)]
[Health: 70 (Sub-Health)]
[Health: 80 (Healthy)]
After spending three free attribute points in one go, Li Wei's entire feeling became completely different. Streams of heat rose and spread throughout his body, transforming into vigorous vitality. Fatigue, pain, weakness—all those hard-to-erase negative states were instantly swept away. It was as if he had returned to being eighteen years old, with endless energy and stamina forever. Even while walking, it felt like he had springs attached, ready to bounce at any moment.
