Level One Awakening

This really was the peak of his life.

Li Wei was pleasantly surprised.

He didn't hurry to keep assigning points. Instead, he checked his other attributes.

They had all clearly improved right away.

[Stamina: 100]

[Strength: 8]

[Agility: 4]

[Defense: 3 (mild malnutrition, -1)]

[Current Status: Healthy, mild malnutrition, stamina can recover gradually, estimated time of death: 40 years]

--

Well, damn. So he could live to be seventy, right?

Given his current condition, if he could get enough food to reach a normal level, his lifespan would surely increase further.

Honestly, even if he failed the mission, had his memories erased, and was sent back to Earth, he'd still consider it a bargain if he could keep his current condition.

But that was just wishful thinking. Once his Two-star Farmer Card was unbound, what would he have left?

"So, how should I assign my last two Free Attribute Points?"

"Will there be combat as the mission story progresses?"

"I think harsh environments are the real threat to life and limb."

As Li Wei thought it over, his gaze passed over Strength, Agility, and Defense. In the end, he decided to put the points into Health. So far, the mission's main focus was still farming and development. There might be combat, but it certainly wasn't the priority.

So he put another Free Attribute Point into Health.

It became:

[Health: 90 (Full of Vitality)]

Then he put his last Free Attribute Point into Health as well.

This time, Health finally changed dramatically.

Even the attribute text was highlighted, as if it were glowing.

A brand-new line of golden text even appeared.

[Health: 100 (Level One Awakening, slightly increased resistance to negative statuses)]

[Congratulations! One of your attributes has undergone a qualitative change and achieved Level One Awakening. You have gained an additional awakening talent bonus. You will not easily catch a cold, fall ill, or suffer heatstroke. Even after being injured, you will recover faster, and you will also have some resistance to various toxins.]

[Friendly reminder: Even if you fail, have your Farmer Card stripped away, and return to your original world, you will retain half of your Level One Awakening attribute. This is a gesture of humane consideration.]

"So this is awakening. If there's a Level One, does that mean there's a Level Two?"

Li Wei was delighted. Even if he failed and was sent back, losing all related memories, he'd still retain 50 Health, which meant he'd be seriously ill rather than terminally ill.

That was wonderful. It meant he no longer had to worry about what would happen if things went wrong. The Main God Space really was showing humane consideration. Though it sounded a little unbelievable—when had the merciless Main God Space ever been so kind? Had some incredible bigshot visited?

Li Wei's thoughts ran wild.

"Also, can other attributes achieve Level One Awakening?"

Li Wei thought about it for a moment. He could see how it might work. If other attributes could awaken like this, wouldn't that mean there were common so-called Strength specialists, Agility specialists, or Defense specialists?

It felt like that was geared toward combat.

He checked the other attributes, and sure enough, they had changed too.

[Stamina: 100 (Unawakened)]

[Strength: 8 (Unawakened)]

[Agility: 4 (Unawakened)]

[Defense: 3 (Unawakened)]

[Current Status: Health Level One Awakening, full of vitality. Slightly increased resistance to extreme heat, cold, illness, plagues, hunger, fatigue, and toxins. Slightly faster recovery from injuries. As long as you have food and get enough rest, stamina can recover slightly faster. Estimated time of death: 60 years]

So that meant he could live to be ninety?

"By my current condition, I'm still within the normal range for a human on Earth, right? I thought I was going to become some kind of mini-superman."

Li Wei joked with himself. He felt better than ever. With Level One Awakening in Health, he could even ignore mild hunger and mild malnutrition.

His overall ability to survive had improved greatly.

Still, it wasn't anything to brag about. Penny and Phila had already achieved Level One Awakening in Health, so they just went about their business as usual.

Li Wei continued heading out early and returning late to clear farmland. Thanks to his improved condition, he could clear forty square meters a day and earn 8 Farming Experience. Not bad.

A few more days passed. He had nearly cleared four hundred square meters of farmland when he suddenly received a message: Penny had finished building the wall, a simple cowshed, and a warehouse.

Then Phila called him over to help push the broken ox cart into the warehouse.

It should have been a small matter, but then Penny made a bold decision.

[Two-star Craftsman *** decided to donate her house to the family. She gained eight Family Contribution Points.]

[Since you helped build this house, you gained two Family Contribution Points.]

[Since the four most basic structures—a house, wall, cowshed, and warehouse—are now in place, and the family now has a head, the family's residence has officially been upgraded to Level 1 Camp. Family population limit +1.]

[Within twenty-four hours, a new player will join the family. Their identity will be determined by the family's current situation and the family member who performed best over the past ten days.]

[The new player's identity is—Penny's fiancé, Sam. Occupation unknown. Initial attributes unknown.]

--

Well, damn. Penny had made her counterattack.

Li Wei was stunned for a second, then stopped paying attention. This battle for the position of family head had nothing to do with him.

Penny had taken twelve days to build the wall, cowshed, and warehouse. She had clearly earned a lot from it, not only successfully upgrading to Professional Craftsman, but possibly even overtaking Phila in Family Contribution Points.

As for him, in those twelve days, he had cleared less than four hundred square meters of farmland. If he kept getting delayed like this, he'd only have time to plant Winter Wheat.

He'd need at least a few more days to finish clearing his acre. There was no way he could keep up with Penny's pace of development.

And next month, Penny would surely use her authority as head of the family to develop the family's production along the lines she wanted.

"No matter what, I'll sow the seeds first!"

Li Wei made up his mind. He had planted his own Wheat Field more than half a month ago. The seedlings were now green and growing well. It was midsummer, so there should still be enough time to harvest in autumn.

He found Phila and collected seven kilograms of wheat seeds. This time, Phila didn't short him on the weight. After all, they were for the family's shared Wheat Field.

But Li Wei didn't care either way. He took his hoe, dug furrows, and sowed the seven kilograms of wheat seeds across the farmland, which covered a little over half an acre.

After sowing the seeds, he successfully gained 30 Farming Experience.

His total Farming Experience reached 70 points.

But upgrading to a Three-star Farmer Card was still a distant prospect. He needed not only 1,000 Farming Experience but also two additional conditions. The last one in particular, a Bronze Clearance Token, meant he could only hope to complete the upgrade in the next mission world.
