Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 55: One-Star Sincerity Card

After issuing the monthly main quest, Li Wei was about to return to his room to rest when Penny suddenly spoke up.

"George, those two sets of leather armor don't fit you properly. Let me adjust them for you."

Huh?

Li Wei was quite surprised. These two sets of leather armor were currently his personal property, but because they didn't fit well, he hadn't worn them and was planning to have them modified sometime.

He never expected Penny to make such a request at this moment. Could there be a trap?

"Sis, you're not in good health, let's forget it," Li Wei tried to politely decline.

But Penny persisted instead.

"George, I only injured my ankle, not my hands. Anyway, I'm not sleepy, and Mom can help too. You're going to the mine to extract ore tomorrow. With properly fitted leather armor, you'll have some extra protection if you encounter wild beasts."

"That's right, that's right, Penny is absolutely correct," Fila paused for a moment before hurriedly agreeing.

This truly surprised Li Wei, and he also roughly guessed the reason. Without a doubt, the two veteran completion players who were about to arrive had created a huge sense of crisis for both Penny and Fila.So at this time, the most important thing for the three of them was to stick together and cooperate, rather than continue internal conflicts. This could be considered a gesture of goodwill released by Penny and Fila.

At the same time, this was probably also meant to create some obstacles for the new tailor Margaret.

To prevent another situation like what happened with Mixi from occurring, giving someone an opportunity to exploit.

Since that was the case, Li Wei decided not to refuse. Moreover, having a properly fitted set of leather armor would undoubtedly raise his safety level by two grades for his daily activities of logging, mining, and hunting.

He slept very soundly that night, while on the contrary, Fila and Penny worked through the entire night, as if they had burst forth with tremendous enthusiasm.

When he woke up, a well-fitted set of leather armor had been modified, at the cost of the other set being dismantled. This was to be expected, and Li Wei had agreed to it. Both sets of leather armor were made of more resilient cowhide, which couldn't be replaced by wolf skin or rabbit skin.

After putting on this leather armor and moving around for a while, Li Wei felt it was excellent. Even though there were still minor flaws, they were insignificant.

Only at this moment did he truly feel like a qualified hunter.

Just then, Li Wei sensed something and saw mist swirling outside the camp. From within quickly emerged a burly, tall, and strong man. His muscular physique resembled rock, his gaze was cold, he appeared to be around thirty years old with a thick beard, wearing a well-fitted set of leather armor, leather boots, and carrying a clearly higher-quality axe over his shoulder. The whole man looked fierce and intimidating.

Everyone in the camp, including Li Wei, was somewhat stunned.

Although they knew this was the new veteran player, they never expected him to be this experienced.

This guy could probably fight evenly with that bandit leader. And damn, could this thirty-something hulk really be his childhood friend, playmate, and close buddy?

If this game had an overall controlling GM, Li Wei would want to complain ten thousand sentences right now.

"Hey! George, my brother, I've been searching for you so hard. But thank the gods, at least you're still alive."

The guy shouted, easily crossed the obstacles at the camp entrance, strode forward, and gave Li Wei a terrifying hug. His 10 points of Strength made him feel like a weakling in front of this man.

"Thomas, it's really you!"

Li Wei forced out a slight smile and greeted him. He was also very wary of this veteran completion player.

"Haha, George, you've changed so much, I almost didn't recognize you."

The new big man said this while releasing Li Wei, quickly glanced at Fila, Penny, and Leon, but didn't greet them. Instead, he took out a strange black card, waved it at Li Wei, and the black card disappeared. But Li Wei immediately received a message.

"Professional Warrior *** used an item on you—One-Star Sincerity Card. You and he can speak freely for the next ten minutes. The Sincerity Card ensures neither party will speak falsely."

Huh?

There could actually be such a magical item? Li Wei showed surprise on his face, while Thomas pulled Li Wei into the room at that moment, slammed the door shut, and then spoke in a calm, low voice: "Brother, don't be surprised. Let's make a deal. For the next month, find a way to trigger the monthly main quest for me. I'm willing to exchange relevant information and intelligence for it."

Hearing this, Li Wei was even more surprised. He never expected this guy to be so direct, but what surprised him even more was that even veteran completion players had to follow the game's core rules. This made him less worried.

"What kind of monthly main quest do you want to trigger?"

"Mining stones, expanding and upgrading the camp's perimeter wall to a level two stone wall. Of course, this can't be completed in one month. I used such a precious item because I hope you'll assign me this type of main quest for the next three months. I also guarantee I'll complete the tasks on time without leaving any stains on your Family Head record. As payment, I can tell you how to obtain a One-Star Stamina Card. Otherwise, following the normal process, you would need to complete this clearance mission and return to the Lord of the Myriad Worlds Alliance headquarters to learn this method. But by then it would be too late, and you'd take many detours."

Li Wei was even more shocked. This information was explosive—One-Star Stamina Card, Lord of the Myriad Worlds Alliance headquarters. Damn.

However, he wasn't swayed and immediately frowned instead. "But at this stage, upgrading the camp wall to a stone wall doesn't align with the objective development pattern. Our family's productivity doesn't require upgrading to a stone wall."

Thomas wasn't surprised by Li Wei's attitude and continued calmly: "Family camps from level one to three are considered beginner gifts with low difficulty. To upgrade to a level four camp, you need at least fifty percent of all buildings to be stone structures, along with a series of related conditions."

"You can refuse now, it's fine. But in at most three months, maybe even less, I'll be able to take over the Family Head position. Believe me, that wouldn't be a good choice. It would disrupt my plans while also making me lose my maximum patience and goodwill toward you. Don't think your status as Family Elder can exempt you from a Plot Kill. You wouldn't want to see yourself gaining one more enemy and losing one friend because of a single wrong decision, would you?"

This guy was quite confident. Li Wei nodded without denying it. With this strong and powerful guy, even hunting would present no difficulty.

And there was really no need to conflict with him. Since upgrading to stone structures was a prerequisite for a level 4 camp, it didn't matter anyway, especially since he could obtain relevant information.

Immediately, Li Wei nodded.

"Alright, deal. But I can only guarantee my support as long as I remain the Family Head, and only within three months."
