Chapter 84: Plot-Driven Impeachment
Chapter 84: Plot-Driven Impeachment
Even without a plow ox, Li Wei still managed to sow both mu of farmland within a single day.
The soil moisture was perfect, the temperature ideal, sunlight abundant, and with the boost from the Two-Star Farmer Card, the germination rate was guaranteed at 99%.
It's worth mentioning that Li Wei had now figured something out. The talent bonuses provided by the professional cards weren't actually acting on him personally. This thing was probably some kind of high-precision, cutting-edge technological product that could emit a certain type of wave, creating an invisible spatial field. Within this range, it could stimulate the seeds and soil to a certain degree, thereby increasing yield.
It was the same for the Hunter Card, or the Craftsman Card.
Of course, the specific truth behind this wasn't something he could fathom at the moment, nor did he want to overthink it. He was quite satisfied with his current life.
As evening fell and Li Wei walked out of the farmland, making a final inspection of the surrounding fence to ensure everything was in order before heading back to camp, a very familiar, golden-glowing piece of information abruptly appeared before him.
[Family Member Penny has successfully crafted a Two-Star quality Compound Bow. Family wealth has increased significantly. She has already overfulfilled this month's Monthly Main Quest. She has obtained the special title — Bowyer. When equipped, this title automatically grants her 10 points of Family Contribution. Other benefits unknown.]
What?
Another Two-Star item? Is she cheating?
Li Wei was directly stunned. That Margaret being able to craft a Two-Star Leather Armor in one go was one thing, given she was a veteran completion player. But how could Penny do it too?Comparing the two, his own Professional Farmer status felt rather shabby.
It took a good while before Li Wei calmed his mind.
Thinking about it carefully, there actually wasn't much to be surprised about. First, Penny had the bonus from being a Professional Craftsman. Second, over the past six months or more, she had crafted a lot of bows. Starting from the Hunting Bow, she had made a full five of them. Then she made three Recurve Bows. Combined with her own accumulated knowledge and, this time, having the right materials, the result, while a bit exaggerated, wasn't too outrageous.
After all, she was the fierce person who hand-built a Small Blast Furnace!
It seemed Penny becoming the Family Head this month was a done deal, as her Family Contribution should have already broken through 190+.
Inside the camp, all family members had returned. This was a rare sight. Over the past month, everyone had been working from dawn to dusk. Aside from Li Wei and Fila, who could guarantee three meals a day on time, everyone else had been pushing themselves as if their lives depended on it. Even Penny and Margaret would take advantage of their morning and evening rest times to burn lime for extra income.
"Come on, hurry up and eat. Look at you all, exhausted. I told you early on not to work yourselves so hard."
Fila chattered away as she brought out various dishes: white bread, wild vegetable and mushroom meat soup, fried fish, roasted meat, and a bowl of wine for each person. It was quite a feast.
However, everyone clearly had their own hidden agendas.
Penny and Thomas glanced at Li Wei more than once. They were waiting for him to initiate the impeachment against Fila.
Once everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the routine Monthly Summary information arrived.
[You have successfully completed the tasks issued by the Family Head. You have obtained 8 points of Family Contribution.]
[This month, through donating various supplies and sowing the farmland, you have additionally obtained 15 points of Family Contribution. Your current total is 391 points.]
Li Wei's monthly summary was simple. The former was from completing the main quest, the latter from side jobs and donations. Overall, it was fairly standard.
Because at this stage of development, everyone in the family, as long as they weren't lazy, could normally earn 20~30 points of Family Contribution per month. For someone like Thomas, who worked as if his life depended on it, a monthly income of 40 points wasn't an exaggeration at all.
Now, looking at these two pieces of information, Li Wei's gaze swept over Thomas and Penny. Well, it was time for him to fulfill his promise.
With a thought from him, the relevant impeachment information was quickly generated. As he selected confirm, first, 60 points of Family Contribution were deducted from him.
The next second, an impeachment notice appeared before the eyes of everyone in the family.
[Family Member George has initiated an impeachment against Family Head Fila. He believes that during her tenure as Family Head, the work tasks she issued were biased. He was forced to undertake the nightly duty of tending the furnace fire, which severely affected his health and daily routine. Therefore, he wishes for her to bear the corresponding consequences.]
[The impeachment meets the conditions. You can choose to agree or refuse. If you choose to agree, you will randomly receive 1~5 points of Contribution.]
At this moment, Thomas and Penny quickly cast their votes in favor. Margaret looked surprised, seemingly caught off guard, but also chose to agree.
Leon, however, chose to vote against.
But the opposition was ineffective. Four to two. The impeachment was passed.
Fila was dumbfounded, completely caught off guard. She looked at Li Wei with disbelief, utterly unable to comprehend that he would stab her in the back like this.
She was just about to embark on grand plans. Her strategies were about to unfold. And you choose to backstab me at this moment?
Do you have any idea what you're doing?
"You idiot!"
When enough is enough, no more need to endure!
Fila directly cursed! She was shaking all over with rage, practically on the verge of losing her mind.
But, this was an NG!
The next second, a line of blood-red text appeared before everyone's eyes.
[Professional Chef *** has seriously violated the rules. She will have one random attribute erased!]
Damn, that's severe!
At this moment, Fila felt as if struck by lightning. Her face turned as pale as blood. She slumped into a seat, as if all her vitality had been drained. Large tears welled up in her eyes. The injustice, the sadness, the anger... Why did she always run into idiots? What kind of pig teammates were these?
You, George, can't you see the wolfish ambition of this little bitch Penny?
Can't you see how close she's gotten to those two veteran players, Thomas and Margaret?
This month, I didn't suppress you, did I? I was suppressing Thomas! Why did you have to backstab me?
What is wrong with this world?
It's so exhausting. Why?!
My sincere heart never gets any return!
The room fell into dead silence. Everyone remained quiet, calmly waiting as time ticked by. Finally, Fila regained a sliver of rationality and made her choice. Accepting the impeachment meant, at most, being unable to run for Family Head for three months. Why waste precious Family Contribution points?
And even if she used an exemption, her total contribution still wouldn't compare to the others.
However, when the new information popped up, Fila was dumbstruck.
[Family Head Fila has chosen to accept the impeachment. Because the mistakes she committed did not cause serious consequences, she does not need to consume Contribution points. However, because her competence has been questioned, she will be unable to run for Family Head for the next five months.]
—
Five months?
Damn!
Even Li Wei was taken aback. Only now did he realize what a huge advantage his Family Defender title gave him.
At this moment, Thomas, Penny, and Margaret would each randomly receive 1~5 points of Family Contribution.
Li Wei, as the initiator of the impeachment, did not get this benefit.
The matter seemed to be over. No significant changes showed on anyone's face.
But just as Li Wei thought Penny becoming the Family Head was a sure thing, Leon suddenly initiated a special Plot Kill, targeting Penny!
[Family Member Leon has initiated an impeachment against Professional Craftsman ***. He believes that during this month, she deliberately delayed the work tasks issued by the Family Head and idled about. This would cause significant negative impact on the family's development. Therefore, he wishes for her to bear the corresponding consequences.]
[The impeachment content is verified. You can choose to agree or disagree. Those who agree will receive 1~5 points of random Contribution.]
