Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 401: Changes in the Destiny Matrix

[Congratulations. Because your Farmer Destiny Grid has upgraded to 50, and because your Hunter Destiny Grid has reached 63, Woodcutter Destiny Grid has reached 62, and Scout Destiny Grid has reached 39, your total number of Destiny Grid points has reached 214 points. Your Destiny Matrix can now be upgraded.]

[Description: The significance of the Destiny Matrix's existence lies in utilizing a post-natal method to conduct all-weather harmonious resonance with the activated and bound Profession Cards. This prevents the Profession Cards from forming rejection reactions and dragging each other down.]

[The conditions for upgrading the Destiny Matrix are: You must possess at least four types of Profession Cards, the Profession Destiny Grids of at least three types of Profession Cards must meet 50, and the total Destiny Grid points of the four Destiny Grids must be greater than or equal to 200.]

[Friendly Reminder: Do you wish to upgrade the Destiny Matrix at this moment? After the Destiny Matrix upgrades, your Farmer Card will thoroughly become your Native Card. Simultaneously, you can expend Farmer Destiny Grid points to upgrade the quality of other professions, such as upgrading from Ordinary to Rare, or from Rare to Transcendent. This process may consume massive amounts of Stamina and Spiritual Power, and requires abundant high-quality food for recovery.]

[Description: It isn't only the Farmer Card that can become a Native Card. Other basic Profession Cards like the Artisan Card, Scholar Card, Herdsman Card, and Fisherman Card also have the opportunity to become Native Cards.]

All the messages flashed past in an instant. Pretty good. Although it didn't grind out a second Hidden Attribute as imagined, it was still truly pretty good.

Li Wei wasn't in a rush to upgrade his Destiny Matrix. Instead, he maintained his composure and continued harvesting Three-Star wheat. The person sent by the Duke of Weir was still waiting on the side.

However, given his current state, even equipped with the Son of the Earth Destiny Title, he only harvested two hundred mu today, selling twenty thousand kilograms of Three-Star wheat. The total number of gold coins in the territory's treasury successfully broke through 1.02 million. And his Farmer Destiny Grid upgraded to 55.

If this continued, by the time all four hundred mu of wheat was completely harvested, who knows if he could scrape together enough for 60?After sleeping soundly through the night, Li Wei worked a bout of fierce labor the next morning, completely harvesting the final one hundred mu of Three-Star wheat. This time, he kept three thousand kilograms for himself, directly storing it into the Resource Card. The rest was completely sold, obtaining seventy thousand gold coins.

Consequent to this, the gold coin balance in his territory's treasury reached 1,095,324 coins.

At the same time, the tax reduction quota for the Duke's Tax reached 18.5%. Under the identity of a Substantive Baron, after deducting 10% for the first time, he could continue to cumulatively use this tax reduction quota in the second year.

In addition, his Farmer Destiny Grid also barely managed to upgrade to 57.

The moment the handover was completed, Li Wei's entire body felt relaxed and relieved.

Yet at this time, the human figure within that gray mist suddenly walked out. Before Li Wei could even react, he grabbed him and pulled him into the gray mist.

The next second, Li Wei was already situated within an alternate dimension shrouded by gray mist. And the person standing before him was shockingly the Chief Logistics Officer of the Logistics Department, Black Wolf.

It was an acquaintance.

He was the one responsible for handling logistics for the Duke of Weir. Just like Auntie Ellen, the head of the Logistics Group currently within Li Wei's Territory Main City.

"So it's Senior Black Wolf. A pleasure to meet you. May I ask what esteemed business Senior brings me here for?"

Li Wei politely offered a greeting, yet couldn't help but recall the scene from two years ago when Night Owl and this Black Wolf arrived hand in hand, appearing during the end-of-month settlement. At that time, Black Wolf imposing manner was boundless, a big shot with his mystery level pulled all the way to maximum.

It seemed over these past two years, he hadn't idled his time away in vain, ah.

"I wouldn't dare accept the title of Senior. Little Brother Li Wei, you can now be considered the rear waves of the Yangtze River driving the front waves forward, your scenery is boundless, ah. I estimate even in the Locke Capital, there are many people who know your great name."

Black Wolf smiled amiably, acting extremely intimate and close.

"Little Brother, to tell the truth, if it weren't for the fact that right now is currently a special storyline time, I wouldn't dare come look for you either. Right now, well, I wish to make a transaction with you. Mhm, don't be resistant first; this transaction brings great benefits to you."

"Oh, since it is so, I shall wash my ears and listen respectfully."

Li Wei nodded his head, wearing a smile. He still had to give some face.

"It's like this. Our Logistics Department recently has a special Pioneering Mission. The objective is to build a shelter in a freezing tundra region, while simultaneously trial-planting winter wheat and exploring the cultivation of other cold-resistant plants. I feel that you, Little Brother, are extremely suitable to come act as a number one Seed Player, ah. If you agree, I will arrange for you to enter this Pioneering Mission five months from now. The mission time will not exceed two years. It won't delay you from participating in Cross-Border Missions, and it's also convenient for you to grind for aliases. If my guess isn't wrong, you, Little Brother, should have already obtained that special Destiny Title 'Son of the Earth' affiliated with the Farmer Card, right?"

"Therefore, this mission is simply custom-tailored for you."

Black Wolf spoke very earnestly, quite solemnly and seriously. But falling into Li Wei's ears, it was quite astonishing, even somewhat absurd, to the point where he almost thought this Black Wolf was a Neanderthal spy.

"Senior Black Wolf, please speak cautiously. These rhetorical wordings of yours probably harbor suspicions of violating regulations regarding the Pioneer City Building Mission I am currently undergoing, right?"

"Violating regulations? Alright, it is indeed a bit of a violation, but it basically can't be considered any major matter. Little Brother, I understand your feelings. You probably still hold a bit of a lucky fluke mentality in your heart, or perhaps you truly want to complete that City Building Mission? But if I speak bluntly, this peace negotiation is personally presided over by His Majesty the King's Special Envoy. There won't be any more variables. Even if there are any variables, for you, there won't be any overly massive changes."

"Otherwise, why do you think I would violate regulations to proactively approach and contact you?"

"I don't quite understand? Could Senior explain in detail?"

Li Wei's heart stirred, and he immediately asked.

"Haha, explaining in detail is impossible to explain in detail. But speaking roughly about it is doable. Actually, there are two sources triggering this peace negotiation storyline—one open and one hidden. The open one is the one you know of, which is also the official narrative."

"But there is still a hidden source. And that is Night Owl withstanding five assaults from the Barbarian grand army at Thorns Pass. Her battle achievements were brilliant and glorious, ruthlessly frustrating the arrogant flames of the Barbarians, and even more so disrupting the strategic plans of the Barbarian Tribe. It can be said she contributed the absolute greatest merits."

"You will probably ask again, why does this Pioneering World have an immense connection with Thorns Pass? That is because, one hundred and fifty years ago, Thorns Pass was precisely the bridgehead we built during a Cross-Border Mission. This planet you are currently on, everything is an extension of this bridgehead."

"Counting this planet, there are three other planets. They are all in the same star system, and are all coerced and infected by the origin of the same Chaotic Magic. From an ordinary person's perspective, these are four unrelated planets. But in reality, this is a single entity."

"That bridgehead from back then, having undergone fifty years of construction and expansion today, has already turned into Thorns Pass. The Barbarian Tribe has always wanted to snatch it back, so they continuously send out small squads to infiltrate, attempting to forge a bridgehead belonging to them."

"This is the grand background."

"Furthermore, this Pioneering Mission you are all conducting is precisely unfolded revolving around this bridgehead—Thorns Pass."

"There are Cross-Border Missions first, followed by Conquest Missions, and only then does the turn come for crop after crop of Pioneering Missions. This Pioneering Mission of yours has never been independent or singular. Why did you think those Barbarian Tribes didn't make a big fanfare and fanfare about assassinating you Pioneers? That is because standing behind you is Thorns Pass; there is a grand army of our side."

"Including Cross-Border Missions. What do you think a Cross-Border Mission is? Completely all of them have a grand army pressing down on the borders from the rear. The grand armies of both sides slaughter endlessly on the frontal battlefield. Then, the enemy and us respectively send out elite squads to construct a bridgehead in advance in critical regions that the grand armies of both sides haven't had the time to occupy yet."

"And only after conquering a bridgehead and building it into a majestic pass of Level 3 or higher, do you have the qualifications to open up Pioneering Missions in the surrounding areas. Understand? There is a progressive relationship here."

"Firstly, the King sends out Kingdom-level elite squads to explore and discover unfamiliar regions. These types of elite squads are usually figures of the Duke-level taking action. Engaging in a fierce dragon and tiger struggle against other factions and other organizations; only then can they discover regions suitable for salvage-style plundering. Following that, leaving behind teleportation coordinates, Cross-Border Mission squads can then be sent out to build bridgeheads. Then comes Conquest Missions."

"After taking down this region, only then will Pioneering Missions commence in the surroundings relying on the bridgehead. Waiting until crop after crop of Pioneering Missions are completed, the bridgehead upgrades into a Province. The remaining Pioneering Missions turn into various territories. And then, at this time, Rookie Missions will unfold. This is a chain of interlocking rings."

"Oh, right. Between Pioneering Missions and Rookie Missions, there are actually also Chaotic Killing Missions with no time limits and no limits on the number of times. The nature of this kind of mission is roughly similar to your illegal territory suffering an invasion. So you pay money and issue a bounty mission in a Four-Star Tavern. Then those elementary school students and middle school students can come to this world, fighting against invaders outside your legal territory, and even helping you guard your illegal territory fortresses or something."

"Chaotic Killing Missions have no main storyline. It primarily focuses on adapting to circumstances as they arise. For example, the special Pioneering Mission I previously wanted to invite you to participate in is actually a variant of a Chaotic Killing Mission."

"In short, these are the several types of missions we in Locke Kingdom can currently come into contact with. If luck isn't very good, you might also run into a Faction War Mission issued by the All-Heavens Lord Alliance, engaging in a life-and-death decisive battle with other organizations and factions. But to speak the truth, the severeness and tragic nature of that is no less than the World Wars you comprehend. Fortunately, it might not even happen once in several hundred years."

"Now, based on what I've said, you should be able to understand. This peace negotiation has a ninety-nine percent chance of being successfully negotiated. The Locke Royal Family greatly appreciates the Frost Duke, which is why this special storyline exists, understand? This storyline was decided by the King. It was not decided by some Main God, or some System, or rules. Within the borders of Locke Kingdom, all rights of interpretation belong to His Majesty the King—that is, that Great Six-Star Lord. This is not contradictory, understand?"

"It was this Six-Star Lord who established Locke Kingdom. We are all his subjects. But concurrently, within the All-Heavens Lord Alliance, we must address him as the Great Six-Star Lord."

"So, stop harboring a lucky fluke mentality. In at most five months, you will have to undergo Task Settlement. Since the task is settled, you also cannot sit idle and eat away at your mountain of wealth. Like the grand scene of a bountiful harvest this year, the magnificent sight of selling close to six hundred thousand gold coins in a single harvest—it will be impossible for it to appear again in the future. Unless you plan to accelerate the bankruptcy progress of your own territory."

"The best method is still to take on a mission with bountiful remuneration. Setting everything else aside, Li Wei, if you are willing to come, I will directly give you a base floor price of one hundred thousand gold coins!"
