Lord of the Myriad Worlds

Chapter 75: Fila the Flayer

For two full days and nights, Fila did not close her eyes.

Of course, no one else slept either, including Li Wei, because even if you couldn't help, even if you were just watching from the sidelines, information would occasionally pop up.

[You witnessed the excellent disassembly skills of a Professional Butcher. You gained 1 point of Dismantling Experience.]

Really, Li Wei was convinced. He had previously somewhat looked down on Fila's Professional Chef and Professional Butcher professions, thinking that gathering, cooking, and butchering pigs, what was so great about that? Couldn't anyone do it?

But the reality was, two behemoths weighing over a thousand jin and over four hundred jin were right before your eyes. One was a one-star quality, the other a two-star quality precious resource, their entire bodies were treasure. If you cut the wrong spot even once with a knife, you could downgrade the material's quality, or even render it completely useless.

And Fila, up to this point, all her operations had been rated Excellent!

Over the two days, others might not know, but Li Wei himself gained 36 points of Dismantling Experience, all rated Excellent.

It was easy to imagine Fila's own gains. Sure enough, she was the biggest winner.

But this kind of thing couldn't be complained about like a child would.

He, as a Hunter, should also be able to participate in disassembly, but that required starting from scratch, practicing first on pheasants, wild rabbits, fish, and shrimp, including the knowledge of dismantling rats.Over the past year or so, Fila had truly dismantled hundreds of rats, thousands of fish, over a hundred pheasants, over a dozen wild rabbits, and a deer.

Only by mastering the real-world skill could one unleash the hidden advantages of the Hunter card.

Anyway, Li Wei benefited greatly this time.

And just then, lines of public information appeared before everyone's eyes.

[Professional Butcher *** completed the disassembly of a bear with excellent skill. She gained 5 points of Basic Contribution (Main Quest).]

[Professional Butcher *** completed the disassembly of an ox with excellent skill. She gained 4 points of Basic Contribution (Main Quest).]

[Professional Butcher *** successfully dismantled and tanned two-star quality bear sinews and one-star quality ox sinews. Family wealth has increased significantly. She gained an additional 15 points of Contribution.]

[Professional Butcher *** tanned a two-star quality bear pelt and a one-star quality ox hide with excellent skill. Family wealth has increased significantly. She gained an additional 15 points of Contribution.]

[The Professional Butcher has cumulatively crafted five items of one-star quality or above. Her contribution to the family is evident to all. She has obtained the title — Flayer. When equipped, automatically gain 10 points of Family Contribution. Anyone attempting to impeach or initiate a Plot Kill against her will suffer corresponding Family Contribution penalties.]

——

Wow, Fila got a title!

And it was equivalent to gaining 49 points of Family Contribution.

She truly became the second biggest winner after Li Wei.

Information was still appearing, showing the gains of Thomas, Penny, and others over these two days, mostly 2 points of Contribution. After all, while they lacked skill, they did a lot of the dirty and heavy work.

Overall, it was a win-win situation.

However, looking at these guys exchanging glances, they were clearly planning something, especially Thomas and Margaret. These two had items and experience, clearly troublemakers.

But for Li Wei, it didn't matter. His 368 points of Family Contribution were right there. Anyone who wasn't convinced could just try to challenge him!

Haha!

Unfortunately, this time, Fila was unusually firm. If in the previous two months she was eager to try, this time, no matter how Thomas and Margaret found opportunities to hint to her,

Fila remained unmoved.

And so, this month quickly ended.

After a sumptuous dinner came the Monthly Summary.

Information appeared before everyone's eyes, along with evaluations of them.

[Your leadership remains conservative and mediocre as always, but it wins in stability and safety. All of this month's family main quests were completed. The family's comprehensive wealth increased unexpectedly and significantly. The family's ability to resist external risks continues to increase. Furthermore, because you have served four consecutive months during which family members have been harmonious and friendly, no effective impeachment has occurred, and no effective Plot Kill has been generated. No family member has been injured or died. All of this is sufficient proof of your excellent leadership ability. You will receive an additional clearance evaluation bonus.]

[Additionally, limited by the insufficient buildings within the family camp, the family camp remains at level 3. Total population: 6 people.]

[You will receive an additional +8% clearance evaluation reward. Current total accumulated additional clearance evaluation reward: +38%.]

[Due to your mistake, you have been deducted 5 points of Family Contribution. Gained 5 points of Contribution this month. Current total: 368 points.]

[Warning! As the family's total wealth increases and comprehensive strength grows, the family camp seems to be on the verge of reaching level 4. This will be a very important milestone, as it means the family's influence has reached a level that cannot be ignored. For example, a few small log cabins might attract no attention, but an embryonic castle is enough to draw many malicious gazes. Unpredictable risks may erupt next. As the Family Head, please prepare in advance.]

——

Huh?

After reading this information, Li Wei found the earlier parts mostly unsurprising. But the last piece of information truly put him on high alert.

Thomas had mentioned before that levels 1, 2, and 3 camps were like a newbie adaptation period, and level 4 family camp was the real focus. Could there be a monster siege plot?

But isn't this an Orderly Peace world?

No, no, it shouldn't be understood that way. Orderly probably meant that as the family's strength increased, the pressure the world applied would increase proportionally, not that the family's strength increased while the world's pressure remained the same.

That wouldn't be logical.

Just like the previous Wolf Pack, and the recent Black Bear.

Once the camp reaches level 4, wouldn't it trigger a plot where the Lord of Kahe City comes to collect taxes or bandits seek revenge?

In short, immense pressure!

If handled poorly, he, the Family Head, would face impeachment.

If a family member died due to his policies, he would immediately be ousted, regardless of how much Family Contribution he had. If the situation was severe and he had very obvious faults, there would be consecutive punishments, and even the privileges of a Family Elder could be temporarily stripped!

Penny's precedent was a lesson!

For a moment, Li Wei felt genuinely uneasy. Could he handle this well?

Back in his old life, he was just a weak little office worker. Now, living a second life, he didn't have any Golden Finger cheat either!

While he was lost in thought, the room was very quiet. No Plot Kill, no impeachment. It seemed everyone was behaving themselves.

Li Wei raised his head, his gaze sweeping over Thomas. But Thomas, thin as a ghost, wore a numb, hollow expression.

His gaze swept over Margaret. Oh my, big sister, how are you also skin and bones? Even a ghost looks better than you. Li Wei blinked at her.

But Margaret's gaze was cold, looking at him like he was a clown.

Ha!

No movement!

It seemed next month was stable again. Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief while also rallying his spirits. What was there to fear? When soldiers come, we have generals to block them; when floodwaters come, we have earth to contain them. His training over the past three months wasn't for nothing.

What's a level 4 camp? What's a monster siege? Next month he'd issue a main quest, focusing everyone's efforts on helping Thomas build the city wall together. With this wall, they could at least be in an invincible position.

For a moment, Li Wei's thoughts turned fierce and murderous, filled with inexplicable excitement! Until a line of information abruptly appeared.

Impeachment?

Someone was impeaching him!

[Family member Margaret has initiated impeachment against you. She accuses you of failing to complete daily patrols during this month's Monthly Main Quest, leading to the death of the family's plowing ox. Based on factual grounds, this impeachment is valid! Due to your status as a Family Elder and your title of Family Defender, she has paid a 20-point penalty, plus the standard 100 points of Family Contribution required for conventional impeachment mode. Family members are currently voting. You can see the voting process.] (Author: Reminded by a book friend, data has been corrected. I indeed forgot about this.)

Holy shit?

120 points? Such a huge price is acceptable?

Li Wei looked at Margaret with utter shock. In her eyes, there was a fleeting glimpse of cruel malice, but it seemed like an illusion, because the next second she returned to her harmless appearance, even giving him a gentle, graceful smile!

Screw your smile!
