At this ti, the last person to conduct the Month-End Summary was Clyde. Although he didn't have much presence this month, in reality, he was still so busy his feet didn't touch the ground.
As the blacksmith on duty, he was basically equivalent to the top dog of the Industrial Zone. Burning quickli and burning charcoal were his business. Providing auxiliary support for Leon, forging equipnt for a ten-person squad, making feather arrows and crossbow bolts, repairing damaged tools, and so on—all of it was his business.
So outside of completing the Monthly Main Tasks, he also obtained an extra 60 Contribution points, because he forged 12 One-Star Quality weapons and one Two-Star Quality weapon.
However, repairing the Bloodthirsty Spear for Li Wei wouldn't yield any Contribution. The repair fee Li Wei paid would only be rged into the family's total wealth, to be settled after three months.
Ultimately, Clyde's Contribution this month reached 140 points, accumulating to 312 points.
Law-abiding and well-behaved, right down the middle.

After Clyde completed his settlent, it was the segnt everyone was happy to see and hear, and intimately familiar with: Plot Kill and Impeachnt!
Unfortunately, they were all Family Elders now.
And no one had committed any obvious mistakes this month, so this segnt could basically be skipped.
Very harmonious, full of love; we truly are a family.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Lines of information slowly erged in a dignified and solemn manner before everyone. This also ant the curtain was raised on the most important family eting of every month.
[The level of the family Camp remains unchanged this month. There are no missing family personnel, so none will be supplented.]
[Family mbers John Kakh, Ron, and Hathaway have successfully integrated into the family. As four-star players, the restrictions on them will be lifted successively. At the family eting held at the end of next month, they will be permitted to use Item Cards and compete fairly with all players.]
[Note: To ensure low-level players have a fair competitive environnt, the status of their Profession Cards is now made public.]
[John Kakh: Four-Star Miner / Three-Star Hunter / Three-Star Fisherman / Three-Star Butcher]
[Ron: Four-Star Blacksmith / Three-Star Knight / Three-Star Miner / Three-Star Mountaineer]
[Hathaway: Four-Star Apothecary / Three-Star Scholar / Three-Star Mountaineer / Three-Star Hunter]
[Because Family mber George's Contribution points are the highest, he will continue to be re-elected as Head of Household, and is qualified to recruit eight rcenaries through the One-Star Tavern. They will join the current mission world in the identity of loyal Squires cultivated since childhood by the Kakh Family.]
[Friendly Reminder: The Squires are incomparably loyal to the family. In principle, they only obey the commands of the Head of Household, or the commands of a specific family mber designated by the Head of Household. They are capable of handling most hard and arduous tasks. They will not participate in the Monthly Main Tasks, will not obtain Contribution, will not compete for Head of Household, will not initiate Plot Kills, nor will they be the subject of Plot Kills and Impeachnt. All their labor, combat, and benefits belong to the Head of Household or the actual funder who hired them.]
[Friendly Reminder: Squires are qualified to initiate trades, as long as it conforms to plot logic. At the sa ti, if soone in the family initiates a bid, Squires are also qualified to join the bidding and compete fairly.]
[Friendly Reminder: The Head of Household needs to properly arrange the Squires' work, residence, three als a day, and health conditions, as well as carefully consider the Squires' personal safety, weapons and equipnt, daily training, etc. Once a Squire dies, there will be no supplent that month, but there will be no punishnt, nor will it trigger Impeachnt.]
[Friendly Reminder: Recruiting Squires requires consuming family Contribution points or Standard Gold Coins. In principle, whoever serves as the Head of Household pays for it. But if the Head of Household is unwilling to pay too much, or has limited ability, it can be paid for and recruited by other family mbers. Thus, after the recruitnt is completed, that Squire will only obey the orders of the payer. The Head of Household can indirectly command the Squire by coordinating with and commanding the payer. Such Squires can also enjoy normal treatnt: free use of room and board, weapons and equipnt, etc.]
[If the hired Squires are no longer recruited the following month, they will automatically return to the Headquarters. Do not worry about them becoming loose stragglers or chaotic bandits.]
——
Huh?
So it's like this!
The three of them are truly not simple.
Li Wei was shocked for a second, then returned to normal. He had guessed returning to normal a long ti ago.
But even so, he would still be calling the shots next month.
Right then, he silently chanted "recruit" in his heart. The next instant, a row of eight cards floated before everyone. Each card had a blurry portrait of a person inside.
Below the cards were the prices available for recruitnt. They varied, but none of the prices were low.
The highest required paying 150 family Contribution points per month, which was equivalent to 15 Gold Coins.
There were two of these in total.
Then sequentially, there were ones for 100 Contribution points a month, 80 Contribution points a month, and four at 60 Contribution points a month.
Good heavens, this price was not low. They worked themselves half to death every month just to earn how much family Contribution? If they hired rcenaries on top of that, would they still have any profit left for themselves?
Unless they could arrange for the Squires to perform daily work, then they could earn back their salary.
But wasn't this just like opening a company, recruiting employees, running markets, and engaging in production?
Who dared to say that opening a company mathematically guaranteed a profit?
Li Wei was sowhat hesitant, because hiring all of them required 720 Contribution points. His savings would basically be wiped out to zero in an instant.
But within a month, could he utilize these eight Squires to earn that much back? That would an each person on average needed to earn 90 Contribution points per month.
It must be known that the reason these rcenaries beca rcenaries was precisely because they truly weren't good at this aspect.
Of course, nothing is absolute! An excellent leader should know how to recognize people and make good use of them.
But, next month there were three super-veteran old bird players. Going all-in like this, would it really be okay?
Thinking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but glance at Ron, then shifted his gaze toward Old John and Hathaway, but all three were expressionless.
He then looked at Leon. Damn it, you never ntioned this matter.
Leon revealed a small pleading look in his eyes, seemingly very innocent.
Motherfucker, you can't be relied upon either.
Li Wei slightly narrowed his eyes in thought.
Since Old John, Ron, and Hathaway were all four-star players, this ant there was no need to doubt it: by the end of next month, Li Wei's re-election as Head of Household would be impossible.
It wouldn't even wait until the third month, when they opened up with all their firepower.
So, he should accept this despairing fact. He had to seize the ti before stepping down to reap enough benefits.
I don't care what your background is!
As long as I am still the Head of Household, if you are a dragon, you have to coil up for ; if you are a tiger, you have to lie down for !
He had to control absolute authority!
The matters that needed handling had to be handled, and the benefits that needed fighting for had to be fought for. He would just treat next month as his retirent month. After all, even the President of Arica gets to sign pardons, right?
If he got kicked down in the future, it would be too late for regrets.
At worst, he would withdraw when the Task Settlent ca in two months. What was so great about the Rookie List? He didn't care about it!
With enough benefits, he could wander the Chaotic Killing Battlefield casually.
Thinking of this, Li Wei had already made a decision in his heart.
However, he still pretended to be very hesitant, picking and choosing, looking left and right.
In the end, he behaved very stingily and consud 120 Contribution points to hire the two worst Squires. In an instant, two cards silently disappeared, and simultaneously two lines of information erged.
[Two-Star rcenary Wang Yu has been recruited by you. He will serve you for one month. His Profession Cards are Three-Star Fisherman / Two-Star Artisan / Two-Star Woodcutter. His Destiny Grids are Fisherman 9, Artisan 8, Woodcutter 2. His attributes are—Life 140, Stamina 180, Strength 20, Agility 6, Defense 10. He has chosen to bring a set of One-Star Leather Armor, a set of regular clothes, a pair of One-Star boots, and a One-Star shield to join the current mission world. He requires a one-handed weapon to execute duties.]
[Two-Star rcenary Charles has been recruited by you. He will serve you for one month. His Profession Cards are Three-Star Hunter / Two-Star Artisan / Two-Star Farr. His Destiny Grids are Hunter 21, Artisan 7, Farr 3. His attributes are—Life 150, Stamina 150, Strength 20, Agility 12, Defense 3. He has chosen to bring a set of One-Star Leather Armor, a set of sumr regular clothes, a pair of One-Star boots, a One-Star Recurve Bow, and a One-Star two-handed Zhanmadao (horse-chopping saber) to join the current world. He requires you to provide 50 Bodkin Arrows to execute duties.]

Well then, this is quite interesting.
Li Wei could be considered to have discovered a blind spot, and also understood the difference between the rcenary mode and the Lord mode.
rcenaries could also activate various cards just the sa, but they wouldn't grind Destiny Grids. Instead, they only desired the 5 Free Attribute Points obtained after activating a card. For example, that rcenary nad Wang Yu: his primary profession was Three-Star Fisherman, but his Fisherman Destiny Grid was only 11. What kind of rare big fish could this catch?
But this didn't affect his ability to upgrade the Fisherman Card to three stars in the slightest. After all, experience between players could also be traded. Was it hard to purchase 1000 Fishing Experience? As long as he got a Bronze Token, upgrading was just a matter of an instant. Would the Free Attribute Points be short by even a 0.1?
But Lord players were different. With the sa cards, they had to painstakingly nurture their accounts, painstakingly manage them, and raise their Destiny Grids in order to improve work efficiency and product quality.
Of course, the reality of the situation was that rcenary players didn't not want to nurture their accounts and raise their Destiny Grids, but rather there were very few opportunities to do so.
For example, Lord players could easily join various tasks midway to grind for resources, equipnt, and Gold Coins. But rcenaries could only wait for Tavern recruitnt.
In a word, there are only so many opportunities. Falling one step behind in rookie missions ant always being behind.
If one fell three or five steps behind all at once, then they could only beco a rcenary.
"Let's recruit one more!"
Li Wei looked again at Hathaway and Ron. They were still expressionless. They couldn't rush him either. Everything had to wait until the Head of Household finished choosing before it was their turn.
Sigh, the Head of Household is just this aweso!
This is a privilege; even if you're not convinced, you have to hold it in for .
Li Wei put on another act of pondering for a while, and then recruited that highest rcenary requiring 150 Contribution points a month. In this way, the Contribution he spent just on this amounted to 270 points. Currently, he had 540 points left. Among all family mbers, this was already no longer worth ntioning; it had plumted into the dust.
But what a pity... even if his Contribution dropped to zero at this mont, he would still be the Head of Household.
