"Next, we can consider how to pass the customs smoothly."
Thinking of this, Li Wei continued to cultivate the farmland. When he returned to the camp in the evening, he suddenly saw a gray mist floating outside the camp. After about a few seconds, a man appeared in the mist. He was about twenty years old and also very thin, but taller than Li Wei.
Without a doubt, this is the new player, Penny's fiancé, Sam!
"Sam! You're finally here. I thought you were dead. That's great. I'm so happy."
At this moment, Penny was like a little bird, throwing herself into the man's arms, kissing him madly, and showing her affection madly. She probably used this method to remind the new player of the relationship between her and him.
The man named Sam was still in a daze, just like Li Wei when he first arrived.
Logically speaking, he should have received the message prompt by now. At the very least, he should remain vigilant.
But the next second, Li Wei heard the new player say:
"You, who are you? Why am I here? Is this the Lord God's reincarnation world? Are you a senior? Or an NPC? Why am I called Sam?"
His words were like popping beans or firing from a heavy machine gun. It was too late for Penny to stop them, and it was no use giving him frantic glances.
Didn't this guy see the warning message?
But the next second, the boy's face turned as ugly as dog shit.
Well, there is no elimination, but there is definitely punishment.
He was quiet now, looking at Penny, Li Wei, and Fila, who was indifferent and just had a kind smile on her face, with a pair of frightened little eyes, at a loss.
"Sam, this is my mother Fila, and this is my brother George. From now on we are a family. It's a pity that our father is gone, otherwise he would be happy to see us get married and have children and expand the family."
Penny grabbed the new player's hand tightly, squeezing it until his face turned blue. Penny was now able to chop down ten trees a day, and her hands were as hard as iron sand palms.
This almost cheating-like hint finally made the new player understand. Although Penny might be punished for this spoiler, it should be worth it.
At least before this Sam figured out the core logic of the mission, he was Penny's little wolfdog.
"Let's go!"
Without giving Sam a chance to say anything, Penny pulled him into the house, and soon, inappropriate sounds were heard.
So awesome!
It's really cruel!
This is the legendary story of Yu Ji forcing herself on him, right?
Li Wei did not return to the house. He had just finished sowing today. Since there was no fence, he had to keep watch at night to prevent the seeds that had just been buried in the soil from being turned out by some small animals. Although he was not sure whether such a thing would happen, he thought it was better to be safe than sorry.
As the night deepens,
Li Wei lit three bonfires at the edge of the farmland and prepared enough firewood.
Thanks to Penny's crazy logging during this period, there is a lot of firewood at home, which cannot be used up for several months.
Holding two wooden spears, Li Wei was patrolling in the area illuminated by the campfire. The surroundings were not too quiet. The chirping of insects came one after another, and the whimpering of the mountain wind blowing through the forest. Occasionally, the howling of wild beasts could be heard in the distance. A few bats were flying quickly in the night sky, adding a bit of mystery and unknown to the night.
Li Wei wanted to back off a little. This was a public wheat field, and he didn't need to work so hard and suffer so much.
But this thought disappeared in a flash, because he still wanted to pass the level. This newly planted wheat field was almost the favorite of the little animals.
The output of farmland is the most important support for getting through the winter.
If he wants to improve his clearance rating, he can't be careless.
He looked back at the camp and could vaguely see the light of the campfire behind the wall. The wall also gave him a sense of security for some reason.
That's right, although he doesn't get along with Penny, Li Wei still admires her very much, because this wall that looks very solid alone gives him more courage to patrol at night.
Just as he was thinking this, Li Wei suddenly glanced ahead and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Because just a few dozen meters to the right front, at the edge of the wheat field, with the faint light of the fire, he actually saw a pair of green eyes.
Then came the second pair, and the third pair.
At this moment, his hair stood on end. His first thought was a ghost, and his second thought was that it might be a wolf!
The third thought was the wolf pack.
But this time Li Wei was not frightened to death, nor was he paralyzed by fear. He ran directly to his own wheat field a few steps away, where there was not only a bonfire burning brightly, but also a wooden fence.
Almost at the moment he started running, the wolves also approached him in coordination, as if they saw through Li Wei's weakness.
But soon they all stopped again, because Li Wei was leaning against the fence, next to a blazing bonfire, holding a wooden spear, looking ferocious. At this moment, he was ready to fight to the death.
Dark shadows kept flashing across the street, and the wolves were looking for directions to attack.
But it was impossible to find it. Behind Li Wei's wheat field fence was the wall built by Penny. Even the entrance was blocked after dark, and the cow was also in the cowshed.
So Li Wei doesn't have to worry about his retreat.
And this so-called wolf pack seems to consist of only five wolves.
They faced each other silently for about half an hour. Facing Li Wei's wooden spear and the blazing bonfire, they finally did not launch an attack. They disappeared silently into the darkness, as if they had never been there.
But Li Wei was really scared to death.
He didn't even dare to patrol the wheat fields anymore. He just hid beside the fire, with his ears pricked up, not daring to move.
It was a really long night, but in the end nothing happened, thanks to the three fires, and no small animals ran in, at least Li Wei didn't see any.
At dawn, the sound of Fila cooking came from the yard. Li Wei returned and saw that Penny and her fiancé Sam had already gotten up and started to build a brick kiln in the yard. It seemed that they wanted to try to build a small blast furnace for iron smelting. It can only be said that the potential of professional craftsmen is something that farmers cannot understand.
She has completed the tasks assigned by the head of the household and now has free time to work, and all the work results belong to her personally.
In fact, her plan to develop the handicraft industry was delayed for almost half a month, but the initial losses were not great, and she even accumulated a batch of completely dry bricks.
At this moment, Penny was operating skillfully. She is indeed a professional craftsman. This time, she might be able to do it.
Li Wei was a little envious, but he could only envy her.
Penny's fiancé Sam came to help her and was busy. Although he was not very adaptable, he was very positive, which obviously triggered positive feedback.
Li Wei was looking forward to the boy's expression when he found out that none of them were natives.
Chapter 18: Indiscriminate Fire (Additional update for the leader Wuliangshan dormitory old five)
Sitting by the campfire where Fila was cooking, Li Wei thought for a moment and said to Fila and Penny, "Last night, when I was on guard outside, I encountered a few wolves. You should be careful when you go out next time."
Hearing Li Wei's words, the newcomer Sam immediately became very nervous, his face turned very pale. However, Penny didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry, my dear brother, even if a wolf comes, I can kill it with one axe!"
As for Fila, she didn't seem surprised, but she didn't say anything.
It was obvious that she didn't want to trigger any new plot.
Or maybe she was not afraid of those wolves?
Li Wei speculated and observed, and after dinner, he went into the house and fell asleep. He slept until noon. Except for feeling a little hungry, he felt great and full of energy.
When I walked out of the house, I saw Fila leading the cow out to collect again.
Not worried about the wolf pack at all.
Penny and Sam were busy as hell.
"Let's make the fence today."
Li Wei thought to himself that he no longer wanted to patrol the wheat fields at night, and even less wanted to confront a pack of wolves.
He has experience in making fences, and the materials can be directly selected from the firewood section. These are all family property, so you are welcome.
Although he didn't have the right tools, Li Wei was now full of vitality and seemed to have endless energy, so he made rapid progress.
He didn't even need to dig a hole. He just poked the wooden stick into the soil, then moved a stone and banged it down. When it reached a certain depth, it was done.
These wooden sticks are then tied together and secured with woven straw ropes.
Although it certainly cannot withstand the charge of a wild boar, it is enough to prevent ordinary small animals.
In this way, Li Wei completed the production of the wheat field fence in just one day.
He didn't even feel tired or overly hungry. Even in the evening, when he was in the lowest condition, his physical strength did not fall below 50 points.
He hadn't even had dinner yet, but he just sat on the ground and rested for less than five minutes, and his physical strength value increased by +1+1.
After dinner, the recovery speed was even faster. It took less than half an hour to get back to 90 points.
In this state, staying up late and working hard for three days and three nights is not a problem.
Look at the new guy Sam. He didn't do much work that day, but he was already as tired as a dead dog. He couldn't even see Penny's winks at him.
As for Penny, she was in high spirits, but Li Wei couldn't tell where she had added her free attribute points?
Her brick kiln has been built and is now on fire. Black smoke is billowing and the flames are shooting high. To be fair, her craftsmanship is really good.
"Penny, do you need me to help you with the night watch and add firewood?"
Li Wei took the initiative to walk over, not to show goodwill, but to get a share, just like when he participated in the construction of a house before and received free accommodation.
He still hoped that after Penny's blacksmith shop was built, he would repair his shovel.
Well, that's all he wishes for.
"Oh, my dear brother, you've been tired all day. How can I bear to ask you for help? Go and rest."
Penny had a friendly smile on her face and spoke caring words, but her eyes held a hint of sarcasm. She only remembered to curry favor with me now, but it was too late.
"Oh well."
Li Wei was not surprised and turned back to his room to rest. In fact, he also had to complete the task of reclaiming land assigned by the head of the family.
Before, he worked very hard all day and could only cultivate 30 square meters of land.
But in his current state, he can easily cover 40 square meters a day.
An acre of land is only 660 square meters, and he has already cultivated nearly 400 square meters. It will take a few days at most to finish it.
Then he can do other work.
For example, cutting down trees, going out hunting, fishing, etc.
It's just that the wolf pack is a bit difficult to deal with.
It was obvious that they were targeting them, but it was more likely that they were spawned when the camp was upgraded to level 1.
Well, that's also a possibility.
He had a good night's sleep, and even the sound of wolves howling did not disturb his sleep.
The others, however, were trembling with fear, as if facing a great enemy, especially Fila and the newcomer Sam. They finally believed what Li Wei said.
The former was murderous, holding a dagger, as if he was ready to fight the wolf to the death, while the latter was almost collapsed and trembling.
As for Penny, she didn't step into the room all night and was concentrating on baking her bricks.
This is a person who can stir up trouble.
However, different professions often bring different worlds, and Li Wei didn't know what kind of blessing Penny's two-star craftsman card could bring her?
He only knew that when he looked at the seedlings in the wheat field, he could actually distinguish some faint details that he had never noticed before.
Especially the wheat seedlings and weeds, they are clearly visible at a glance.
Speaking of which, it seems that it is time to weed the wheat fields.
The next morning, after breakfast, Li Wei went to the makeshift warehouse and took out an old hoe from the broken ox cart.
This is a useful tool for weeding wheat fields. It can also loosen the soil for wheat seedlings and promote their growth.
Entering the fence of the wheat field and looking at the green and well-growing wheat seedlings, Li Wei was quite happy because this was his personal property.
Although it is only 150 square meters, he should be able to harvest about 100 to 200 kilograms of wheat. After all, his current professional talent is to increase the fertility of farmland by 40%, which is comparable to modern fertilization.
Weeding is a relatively simple job. Even though Li Wei had never done it before, he got the hang of it quickly and had basically finished it before noon.
In the next few days, he continued to work hard in the public field next to him. By the evening of four days later, he had reclaimed an acre of farmland, thus officially completing his task as the head of the family.
It can be said that the reclamation of this acre of farmland took him a month due to the lack of tools. Not only did he consume all the experience points he had accumulated before, but he also fell completely behind Penny and Fila.
His chance of competing for the position of head of the family is currently blocked.
At this time, a line of information emerged.
[You completed the task assigned by the head of the household and successfully reclaimed one acre of farmland. You gained 100 farming experience points and 5 family contribution points. Your current total contribution point is 18 points.]
As soon as this message fell, several more messages popped up one after another.
Here it comes, here it comes, the familiar plot kill!
Those two bitches, Penny and Fila, can't wait any longer.
Before, Li Wei had not completed the task of reclaiming farmland, which was equivalent to the main task of being the head of the family was still in progress, so he was not allowed to initiate a plot kill.
But now, there are finally no taboos.
[Professional craftsman *** has initiated a plot-based killing quest, hoping his mother, Fila, will be killed by a venomous snake within 24 hours. Do you agree? Friendly reminder: whether you refuse, agree, or abstain, you do not need to pay any experience points, and your choice will have a profound impact on the subsequent quest plot.]
[Professional chef *** initiates a plot-based killing, hoping that his daughter Penny will be struck to death by lightning within 24 hours. Do you agree? ]
[Professional craftsman *** initiates a plot-based killing, hoping that his younger brother George will be killed by wolves within 24 hours. Do you agree? ]
[Professional chef *** initiates a plot-based killing, hoping that son-in-law Sam will be stoned to death within 24 hours. Do you agree? ]
Damn, these two bitches are really crazy!
Massacre across the entire map, indiscriminate firing, right? Do you still want to complete the mission properly?
Compared to the first time he experienced the plot killing, Li Wei is now much calmer.
He did not rush to make a choice, but left the farmland and returned to the simple courtyard in the afterglow of the sunset.
As expected, Fila had already prepared dinner and Penny was eating it sweetly as if nothing had happened. Only the newcomer Sam looked terrified and at a loss.
When Li Wei appeared, Sam looked at him as if for help and blinked frantically, but Li Wei was helpless and pretended not to see him. He went straight to get a bowl of wild vegetable soup and ate it with relish.
As a family, we should be harmonious and friendly.
But he had made his choice.
Refuse Fila to be bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
Agree that Penny was killed by lightning.
Reject Sam was stoned to death.
He refused and was killed by wolves.
But he himself did not initiate the plot killing, because he was not qualified to compete for the head of the family at the moment, and there was no need to waste family contribution.
That's right, the purpose of these two bitches, Fila and Penny, launching a crazy plot-killing campaign at this moment is to consume their opponents' family contributions in order to compete for the position of head of the family.
It's that simple.
Soon, the results of the plot-killing voting came out.
Pretty much the same.
For the option of Fila being bitten to death by a poisonous snake, there was one vote in favor, one abstention, and two votes against. This was predictable because the newcomer Sam's mood at the moment was simply unimaginable. Before this, he thought this was just an ordinary farming and management game.
So he must have abstained from voting.
But I believe he will grow up soon.
Then, in the option of Penny being killed by lightning, two votes in favor and two votes against, it is equivalent to being invalid.
In the third option, Li Wei would be bitten to death by wolves. As expected, there were still two votes in favor and two votes against. It must be that the two bitches voted in favor, while he and Sam voted against, so it was also invalid.
In the fourth option, Sam would be stoned to death, with one vote in favor and three votes against. Naturally, Sam could continue to live without paying any price.
It could be seen that the boy breathed a sigh of relief, but Penny's eyes looked at him fiercely for a moment, and she did not achieve her goal.
In this round of four plot-killing options, she and Fila each consumed six points of family contribution, but ended up in a tie. How the hell can this be tolerated!
She was vying for the head of the household this month. If she didn't take away Fila's family contribution points, how could she compete? How could she develop her career path?
"George, you've worked hard cultivating the fields these days, especially without the right tools. Do you still have that shovel? When Sam and I build the blacksmith shop, the first thing we'll do is help you fix it. Besides, hunting also requires some sharp weapons. The wolves you encountered last night will sooner or later pose a threat to us."
Penny spoke casually at this moment, as if she was chatting about family matters.
But in fact, she is introducing a new plot. What she says is not nonsense. It is like the lines in a movie. The written words naturally have the definition of the plot the moment they are spoken. Others must have a reasonable enough reason to refuse or make suggestions, otherwise they have to agree, because this is logical.
How difficult it must be for Li Wei to cultivate the fields. As a sister, shouldn't Penny see it, feel the pain in her heart, and be unable to sleep night and day?
This was also an attempt by Penny to win over someone.
So Sam was still confused, and Li Wei nodded in surprise, "Great, then I need a shovel and at least a knife."
His answer was correct. The dagger in the family was currently occupied by Fila, and if he wanted to hunt, he needed a small knife.
"It's not a big problem, but I need you and Sam to go to the upper reaches of the stream tomorrow to look for some black stones. I think they can be used to make iron." Penny spoke again. There were indeed some black stones in the stream, but she didn't know if they were iron ore. But she thought they should be good. As a professional craftsman, Penny would not be unable to tell the difference.
Li Wei and Sam nodded at the same time. The latter almost thought that the family was harmonious again, but he didn't know that this was an agreement reached between Li Wei and Penny.
The next second, Penny really launched a new plot kill and stared at Sam sternly.
[Professional craftsman *** has initiated a plot-based killing quest, hoping that his mother, Fila, will be killed by a venomous snake within 24 hours. Do you agree? Friendly reminder: whether you refuse or agree, you do not need to pay experience points, and your choice will have a profound impact on the subsequent quest plot.]
This time, Li Wei chose to agree without hesitation. This was how the deal had to be.
After a few seconds, the plot killing result came out.
Two votes in favor, two votes against, the plot killing is invalid.
Grass?
Sam!
Sam actually voted against it!
He had abstained from voting before!
Li Wei was stunned and couldn't help but look at Sam who was so frightened not long ago. It turned out that Sam was drinking wild vegetable soup quietly at this moment, with an attitude of "I don't know anything, don't ask me anything".
Good job!
This guy is a bit unusual, a very skilled player.
Without making a sound, he tricked Penny into spending three family contribution points.
But because Fila did not initiate a plot kill, it means she has three more advantages.
If she donates something now, becomes the head of the family, and launches the main family mission, there will be no suspense.
This is equivalent to grasping the future development direction of the family, and you can get more evaluation in the clearance evaluation.
Sure enough, the next moment Li Wei received a message.
Professional chef *** decided to donate her five units of wild vegetables, dried mushrooms, and other supplies to her family. For this, she received five points of family contribution, bringing her total to over 20 points. Since she has the highest family contribution, she will become the head of the household.
Wow, five units!
Li Wei immediately looked at Penny. If she wanted to reverse the situation at this moment, she could only donate her small brick kiln.
But Penny didn't move at all. Was she not going to fight anymore?
It seems that the family contribution is not enough.
Li Wei thought about it and realized that the reason why Penny and Fila voted crazily to kill each other was definitely because their family contributions happened to be the same, so they couldn't produce a new head of the family.
As a result, he was backstabbed by Sam, which meant that he lost three points of family contribution compared to Fila.
So even if her small brick kiln is more valuable, there is no need to donate it.
She lost this round again.
But her expression was calm.
At this moment, Fila looked at Penny with a kind and loving look, and then said gently to Li Wei and Sam, "Penny has had a hard time recently. She is a good child, but a little stubborn. Fortunately, our days here have improved a little, and you can help share the burden. I think we need to make some preparations for the winter. George, Sam, you are young and strong, you can go to the valley to hunt some prey, but be careful of those wild wolves. I think they are full of malice towards our family."
As soon as Fila finished speaking, lines of information appeared in front of Li Wei.
[Professional chef *** is exercising the authority of the head of the household.]
The head of the household believes the family should focus on hunting and gathering to prepare for the coming winter, but because she didn't consult with them beforehand, some family members disagree, which lowers her opinion.
[Warning: Work tasks assigned by the head of the household are the highest priority. Unless force majeure occurs or during non-rest time, it is not recommended to do other unrelated work before they are completed.]
[You can choose to go out hunting, you can choose to go out gathering, or you can do both. But no matter which one you choose, as long as you reach the number of tasks for ten units, you will complete the task and receive double experience rewards and 5 points of family contribution.]
[Friendly reminder, all voting plot kills will be suspended until the work tasks assigned by the head of the family are completed]
[Friendly reminder, if exercising the authority of the head of the family brings a better impact on the subsequent development of the entire family, the clearance evaluation will be increased, and vice versa]
——
The matter is settled.
Penny didn't say anything else and went back to her room to rest, and so did Fila.
Li Wei and Sam, however, had not gone to bed yet. He was still sharpening a wooden spear beside the fire. This time, Fila readily gave up the dagger. Since she had chosen the hunting and gathering route, she couldn't just not even provide her with a dagger.
Sam sat across from the fire, a large wooden club in his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.
"George, I think we can go deeper into the woods tomorrow. I saw a deer the other day."
Sam spoke, as if he wanted to take the lead. He had already understood the true meaning of this game, which was reasonable, reasonable, and damn reasonable.
And he actually saw a deer.
"I'd rather go fishing. There are plenty of fish in the lower reaches of the creek, and there are wolves in the forest. We can't deal with them right now. They're too dangerous."
Li Wei said without raising his head that he had not only seen fish, but also actually caught fish. Sam was still far from being able to take the lead.
But the two of them also formed a disagreement, so Sam still insisted: "We need more prey, George. By winter, your sister may have a child, and you will become an uncle."
I'm going to be an uncle!
Li Wei looked up in surprise. He didn't think the words were funny, but he was terrified. This Sam was really awesome.
It's not that he was awesome in the sense that he could get Penny pregnant, but that he could find such an excuse so quickly.
Yes, a new addition to the family is a big deal, although it is only a certain possibility, but as Penny's younger brother and the child's uncle, Li Wei cannot be indifferent.
If he dares to remain indifferent, it will contradict the logic of the plot, which is equivalent to the TV series plot being too stupid, and the audience will curse.
After all, they are a loving family.
This was a decisive move, and Li Wei had no way to oppose it.
After thinking for a while, he could only say, "The forest is too dangerous, and the wolf pack might ambush us, so we must be fully prepared."
"Of course, leave it to me. Lend me your knife."
Sam stood up, took the knife from Li Wei, turned around and went to the simple warehouse. After a while, he had a simple hunting bow and three bowstrings in his hand.
"Praise Penny, she is really clever. Can you use this hunting bow?" Sam said with a smile.
Li Wei shook his head, but was thinking in his heart, Penny is a professional craftsman, making a simple wooden hunting bow is a piece of cake for her, so she is not only dexterous, but also has small breasts and no brains.
Also, Sam's first profession is hunter?
No wonder he is so confident.
"Brother, I need some materials to make wooden arrows. Can you help me find some?"
Sam sat there with his arms and legs spread out, looking a bit like a brother-in-law.
Li Wei didn't say anything else. It was useless to say anything. Sam had already taken the initiative. What's more, it would be great if two people could cooperate in something like going out hunting. All the gains would be fairly distributed according to work according to invisible rules.
The wilderness is not a place to be willful.
Li Wei worked with Sam for half the night to make twenty featherless wooden arrows and four wooden spears before returning to his room to sleep.
When Li Wei woke up early the next morning, he found that he was the only one left in the hut.
He didn't take it seriously. It was only around five in the morning. He woke up at this time every day. Fila should have already cooked the vegetable porridge. Penny and Sam...
Wait, Li Wei walked out of the house in two steps, but saw that Penny and Sam were nowhere to be seen in the yard. More importantly, the four wooden spears he made last night were also missing, including the simple hunting bow.
In the yard, only Fila was still meticulously cooking vegetable porridge. Seeing Li Wei come out, she smiled at him and said, "My poor child, you must be exhausted from cultivating the fields during this period. It's okay, you can take a day off. Your sister took Sam out hunting before dawn. Come and have breakfast."
Damn it!
Li Wei's head was buzzing and he was almost mad to death.
But he soon calmed down. Anger would only make him lose control and would not help.
In fact, at this moment, he finally realized that he still didn't understand the core of this mission well enough.
There are no allies. It should be normal for them to be allies one moment and stab each other the next.
Because everyone has his or her own career while playing different roles.
For example, if he is a farmer, if he wants to achieve greater development, he must find ways to gain more family contributions, strive to become the head of the family, and then he can formulate a development route related to agriculture.
For example, if Penny is a craftsman, then the priority must be to develop handicrafts and blacksmith shops.
Fila is a chef, so the hunting and gathering development path is closely related to her.
Sam is most likely a hunter, who can complement Fila's chef.
You have to understand these to understand why Sam clearly backstabbed Penny last night, and Penny was so angry, but today she joined Sam and abandoned Li Wei, because she wanted to complete the main task issued by the head of the family as quickly as possible so that she would have enough time to do her own things.
Last month, Li Wei was implicated for reclaiming farmland.
If he were to be held back by hunting and gathering tasks again this month, his main career development would be a distant prospect.
This is a war without smoke and blood.
"Thanks, Mom! I'm not tired. Can I go collecting with you today?"
Li Wei quickly adjusted his mentality. The most urgent task was still to complete the hunting and gathering tasks as quickly as possible.
