Chapter 81: One-Star Mountain Dweller Card
That night, Li Wei casually handed a stone he picked up to Thomas as they passed each other.
Yes, it was that simple.
500 points of Quarrying Experience were instantly obtained, triggering a notification.
"You have obtained 500 points of Quarrying Experience. However, as you cannot open a third profession and cannot proceed with further activation and binding, would you like to obtain a One-Star Stonemason Card that can be traded anonymously?"
Li Wei confirmed in his heart. In the blink of an eye, a layer of mist seemed to envelop him, only to vanish just as quickly. A card with a stone-like texture was now in his hand.
The object felt substantial to the touch, yet it could disappear and reappear at will.
Nice.
The Stonemason Card was also a profession corresponding to heavy physical labor. It could be fused with a One-Star Woodcutter Card or a One-Star Miner Card to become a One-Star Stamina Card.
He wondered if 200 points of Stamina could trigger a First-Level Awakening?
If so, would he change his profession to become a warrior specialized in Stamina?Li Wei was quite looking forward to it.
The next night, he completed a trade with Penny using a tree branch. The experience Penny gave was quite varied.
It was 200 points of Farming Experience, 100 points of Gathering Experience, 100 points of Fishing Experience, and 100 points of Construction Experience.
Thus, the various experience points he currently possessed increased again: 895 points of Hunting Experience, 408 points of Farming Experience, 400 points of Fishing Experience, 400 points of Gathering Experience, 100 points of Construction Experience, 36 points of Dismantling Experience, and 368 points of Family Contribution.
However, by the end of this month, according to the agreement, he would have to use 60 points of Family Contribution to initiate an Impeachment against Fila.
As long as he could gather another 500 points of either Logging Experience or Mining Experience, plus another 100 points of Fishing Experience and 100 points of Gathering Experience, he would be able to obtain three more tradable One-Star Cards. He might even be able to fuse them into a new One-Star Attribute Card.
This trade was still very worthwhile.
Over the next few days, after completing the irrigation of the Farmland, Li Wei wandered around the forest edge under the guise of patrolling. On one hand, it was to hunt some game, and on the other, it was to grind Gathering Experience.
Well, the forest was now beginning to show signs of green. Among many withered grass patches, one could often find some verdant Wild Vegetables.
He wasn't being reckless. These days, Fila had also started gathering all over the mountains and fields. Thanks to her, Li Wei could now recognize many Wild Vegetables, such as shepherd's purse, Fiddlehead Ferns, and Chinese toon buds. Dandelions went without saying. He also recognized a few types of medicinal herbs.
Carrying a knife and a Hoe, he dug them up whenever he found them. Combined from morning to afternoon, he could actually gain 5 points of Gathering Experience.
Sometimes, with good luck and picking more medicinal herbs, he could even accumulate up to 10 points of Gathering Experience.
Absolutely fantastic. Li Wei even felt too lazy to hunt. How could pheasants compare to the appeal of Wild Vegetables?
However, he didn't venture too deep into the forest, just lingered on the outskirts. It was enough.
Just like that, in the blink of an eye, twenty days of this month had passed. He successfully accumulated 500 points of Gathering Experience and obtained a One-Star Mountain Folk Card.
"Mountain Folk? What kind of profession is this?"
Li Wei was very curious. It seemed now that the profession divisions in this real-life game were quite detailed. The Mountain Folk profession should be the top priority for gathering, right?
Furthermore, the description of this One-Star Mountain Folk Card was quite interesting.
[One-Star Mountain Folk Card. Activate upon binding to gain Professional Talent: additional +1 Agility, movement speed increased by 10% in mountainous terrain, efficiency in gathering mountain goods improved, with a 30% chance of discovering more valuable mountain goods.]
Indeed, this was a profession born for gathering, and it was an agility-based one.
"So, if I can get another profession card that also increases Agility, I can synthesize a One-Star Agility Card? For example, a Fisherman Card. The Fisherman profession should lean more towards Agility, right?"
Li Wei was greatly excited by this. He even felt the sky was bluer, the grass greener, and the sunlight brighter. He was so happy. But the next second, a very special line of information, glowing with a cheap golden light, appeared before his eyes.
[Family Member Margaret has successfully crafted a Two-Star quality Leather Armor. Family wealth has increased substantially. She has already exceeded the quota for this month's Monthly Main Quest. She has obtained the special title 'Armorer'. When equipped with this title, she will automatically receive 10 points of Family Contribution. Other privileges are unknown.]
[Friendly reminder: This information only appears during non-combat situations.]
--
Damn! Two-Star Leather Armor. Li Wei's mood instantly soured. The methods of Veteran Completion Players were truly impressive.
Immediately, he hurriedly returned to the family Camp.
Two-Star Leather Armor. He was genuinely very interested.
Because chainmail was ultimately still too heavy. As a Hunter, he was more suited to light armor.
And the Bandit Leather Armor he was wearing only provided +3 Defense, not even reaching One-Star quality.
Mixi's set of small chainmail, although providing +10 Body Defense, was too small and didn't fit well.
When Li Wei returned to the family Camp, he saw that all the family members had been stirred up. They were either gathered around Margaret, showering her with flattery, or inside the Warehouse examining that set of Two-Star Leather Armor. Everyone was tempted.
Oh, wait, Thomas wasn't very interested. Seeing Li Wei also rushing back, a meaningful smile crossed Thomas's lips.
Margaret immediately stepped forward and, before Li Wei could react, gave him a big hug and even kissed his cheek.
"George! I really have to thank you. Without your help, I definitely couldn't have made such good Leather Armor. You are truly the family's warrior. Your name will surely resound through the mountains and forests, Bear Hunter George! I am so proud of you!"
What the hell, what the hell!
Li Wei was a bit stunned, but alarm bells immediately rang in his heart.
Of course, he knew why Margaret was thanking him. It was because he had killed a Black Bear, allowing Fila to skin a Bear Pelt and tan it into a Two-Star Bear Pelt. Then, Margaret could craft it into a set of Two-Star Leather Armor.
The source was with him.
And in the future, if Margaret wanted to make another set of Two-Star Leather Armor, would she need to continue hunting bears?
This bitch had it all figured out.
"Margaret, you're exaggerating too much. It's like you're joking."
Li Wei struggled to free himself, feeling a bit unlucky.
"George, Margaret isn't joking. You really are an outstanding Hunter. The name Bear Hunter George is well-deserved. Come, come, take a look at this set of Leather Armor first. I think it suits you best."
Thomas laughed heartily, pulling Li Wei into the Warehouse. Inside, on a wooden dummy, a set of exquisitely crafted Leather Armor was draped. Even someone with an untrained eye could see its extraordinary quality.
Li Wei reached out and touched it. Immediately, his bound Two-Star Hunter Card automatically appeared, displaying the relevant attributes of this Leather Armor.
It was indeed different.
[Type: Standard Leather Armor, Two-Star Quality, Light Armor]
[Materials: Bear Pelt, Ox Hide]
[Special Trait: Increases concealment to a certain degree when moving through mountains and forests or under the cover of night.]
[Attributes: Body Defense +12, Encumbrance +1]
[Friendly Reminder: This is an important family asset, belonging to everyone. If an individual family member applies to use it, it can be used during a mission cycle through a Full Member Vote, but it cannot be taken out of this world.]
[If you wish to take it out of this world, you need to initiate a bidding process starting from the base price. All family members can participate in the bidding. The highest bidder wins.]
[Note: The base price is 5 standard Gold Coins. Each bid must not be less than one standard copper coin.]
[Note: After mission completion, important family assets will be converted into standard Gold Coins and distributed equally to each eligible family member at that stage, except under special circumstances.]
