Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 72: A Happy Ending

That's so unethical!

This should be the heartfelt thought of everyone present except Li Wei at this moment.

They had never seen anyone so unethical, and the kind who takes every advantage then acts innocent - if they encountered such a person on the road, everyone shouting "beat them up" wouldn't be unjust!

Because taking a month off to recuperate could truly become the Monthly Family Main Quest, and it really conformed to factual logic.

After all, you can't keep making people work when they're practically exhausted to death.

This reason was too compelling, especially now being the monthly moment to exercise Family Head authority. Normally they could rely on majority rule to cause trouble, but at this moment it was impossible.

For a moment, except for Fila, the other Four Workhorses all looked at each other in dismay - it was too ridiculous, Margaret didn't have any remaining Deceive Superiors and Conceal from Subordinates Cards either!

This matter required arguing based on reason!

But they couldn't argue too aggressively. First, they needed to refute Li Wei's argument based on factual logic, then find a more suitable approach. Otherwise, once this recuperation main quest was issued, they would have to rest from the beginning to the end of the month, without even any chance to slack off.

After a moment of silence, a sharp glint flashed in Thomas's eyes as a yellow card appeared on his forehead - he had also used a Deceive Superiors and Conceal from Subordinates Card, exempting himself from Li Wei's task arrangements as Family Head.Then, he directly returned to his room to sleep. Next month he would steadfastly continue mining stone - this was the most important stage for upgrading the family camp to level 4. That stupid kid knew nothing!

Now only three workhorses remained.

Facing Li Wei's sincere, loving smile, they probably wanted to beat him into a pulp.

Because excuses were truly hard to find, and they were genuinely exhausted like ghosts - how should they refute this?

After a long while, Penny suddenly forced a smile, "George, you're right, this month has indeed been too exhausting, we do need rest. But we don't need a full month. We could stop mining stone and do other things instead. Hmm, you probably still need a spare Recurve Bow, and this time I have some new ideas."

"Right, I can help too! I can help design several gadgets that could save effort!" Margaret hurriedly chimed in. Yes, this was their only chance - pride and face didn't matter anymore.

"I, I, I can help forge several fine steel spearheads! George, I think you're particularly suited for using javelins..." Leon also had a sudden inspiration and thought of an excuse.

Although making new Recurve Bows or forging fine steel spearheads wasn't very persuasive, the problem was that Li Wei liked these ideas.

As the Family Head, he could afford to be this capricious. Although this would definitely make family members dissatisfied, reducing end-of-month summary rewards - but this sense of control was exactly what he wanted.

"Ahem, indeed, I wasn't thoughtful enough earlier. Your suggestions are excellent! Our family truly needs this balance between work and rest. So it's decided then."

"Sister, you and Margaret will work together to make two spare Recurve Bows. Leon, you'll forge the fine steel spearheads. As for me, I'll continue keeping night watch and patrolling around the camp. Winter is almost over, and the beasts in the mountains are starving - they might come out causing trouble. Everyone must be careful about this!"

Li Wei spoke with an air of righteousness, then under the complex gazes of Penny, Margaret, and Leon, spent 3 Family Contribution points to issue next month's Monthly Main Quest.

Well, making two Recurve Bows should be fine since the materials were already available.

In fact, Penny had originally planned to make these to sell to him anyway. So in just a few days, once they completed the task, they could resume stone mining.

In short, everyone was happy.

It was just a bit regrettable that next next month, he wouldn't be able to act so capriciously. By then, the battle for Family Head would likely become extremely intense and brutal!

Fila, Thomas, Margaret, Penny - these were all seeded players for the finals.

Leon was the heavyweight contender.

"After upgrading to level 4 camp, there will definitely be some massive changes. Otherwise Thomas wouldn't be so frantically using items, so confident he could stage a comeback. Well, we'll wait and see."

Thinking this, Li Wei then thought about himself. With temperatures rising this month, he still needed to continue training with bow and arrows and wooden spear throwing.

This winter, he had hardly suffered at all, with minimal energy consumption. Not only had he not lost weight, he had actually gained several pounds. His entire body brimmed with abundant stamina continuously, explosive even - his condition was absolutely top-notch.

But after this month, he would need to continue farming One-Star Stamina Cards.

Stamina was very important.

This was his profound realization from training during this period.

For now, his First-Level Awakening Health, along with Strength, Agility, and Defense were all quite good, equivalent to a peak, healthy adult male. Only Stamina was the weak point that couldn't support more intense bursts.

Especially with wooden spear throwing - just one volley of three consecutive throws could consume 120 Stamina Points. It was truly staggering.

Overall, only by raising his Stamina Points to 200 would Li Wei feel somewhat secure.

The night passed without incident.

Li Wei would wake up every hour or two to add firewood to the fireplace.

Around 1 AM, he noticed it was snowing again outside, with a layer of Accumulated Snow already covering the ground.

Speaking of which, precipitation in this area was quite frequent. Since he arrived here, there had been five heavy rainstorms, three heavy rains, nine moderate rains, twelve light rains, two heavy snows, and three moderate snows. Combined with temperature changes, he estimated this place was probably similar to Northeast China, though it could also be somewhere in Europe at the same latitude.

These data statistics were just Li Wei's hobby - he would casually scribble with charcoal on wooden boards. But this also served as reference for agricultural farming.

Regardless of accuracy, having some reference was better than none.

After all, his primary profession was still Farmer, right?

If he couldn't seize Family Head position in the future and got permanently benched, then he could only focus on developing his Farmer profession.

"This damn awful weather!"

At 5 AM, Thomas got up and went out carrying his tools again. This iron-willed tough man was actually starting to struggle too, hence his low cursing.

"Thomas, if you're really too exhausted, you can rest a bit."

Li Wei couldn't help advising. He had a kind heart and couldn't bear to see his own people suffer, especially since this was his childhood friend, his beloved companion.

Sure enough, Thomas was quite moved and managed a faint smile.

"I'm fine, George. You stayed up all night - you're the one working hardest."

Hahaha!

Li Wei truly admired tough guys like Thomas. Then he tossed a few pieces of firewood into the fireplace, found a comfortable spot nearby, and fell sound asleep.

When the aroma of food lured him awake, he noticed Margaret, Penny, and Leon had also just woken up drowsily. Haha, doesn't sleeping in feel wonderful?

Thank your Family Head.
