After the golden light dispersed, Lin Yi immediately checked his personal information; as expected he had levelled up: his level went from 0 to 1.
Although he was still in the lowest strata of the Boundless Continent, he was no longer powerless.
The carcasses of monsters, in the castle, were already piling up. There were more than ten of them.
Lin Yi proceeded to collect them—A total of 200 units of food and 13 complete fur were obtained. As well as the number of other materials. For example, Wolf Fang, Snake Scale, Rabbit Heads, and so on.
Lin Yi had no idea as to what use these materials had. He did not mull over it for long and continue to store them, for now.
He had also accumulated 10 Crystals. 100 crystals were required to level up the《Angel’s Reincarnation Pond》. He was one-tenth near to collecting all the Crystals.
However, it seemed that compared to upgrading the castle, levelling up an assault unit structure was much more difficult.
This was because there was no way to obtain the Crystals from the monsters in the wilderness. Meanwhile, the wood and Energy Stone required to level up a castle were ubiquitously abundant.
“200 units of food. If I can exchange the required wood and stones with this, I’d be able to upgrade the castle.”
Having this thought, Lin Yi became excited. He didn’t have to wait for three hours; he directly put all the food on the 《Hyperspace Trading Channel》.
The exchange rate was set at the same rate set previously.
《Exchange rate: 1 unit of food = 1 Crystal》
《Attachment: 20 units of wood or 10 units of Energy Stones for 1 unit of food》
And no sooner was the food displayed on the shelves, that it was snatched by the Castle Lords. Many Castle Lords had been guarding the trading channel, afraid that they would miss the opportunity.
Indeed, Lin Yi’s prices were unscrupulous; however, they could only grit their teeth and make the exchange.
After all, they would be fine if they starved for a day or two, their assault units couldn’t. If the unit went hungry, it would affect their combat strength, and simultaneously their loyalty would also decrease. And once loyalty dropped below 60 points there was a high chance of them betraying the Castle Lords.
The lords weren’t as lucky as him. His angels were born from 《Angel’s Reincarnation Pond》. The moment they were born, their loyalty would be locked at 100, never to decrease; being his loyal and passionate subordinates.
Angels would never betray their Lord. This was the hidden attribute of an angel; however, other units would show different attitudes towards their Castle Lords depending on their levels of loyalty.
[Two hundred units of food snatched in two seconds?]
[One or two of you must’ve mastered insta-kill skills, right?]
[I finally managed to gather ten units of stone, but I still failed to get food!]
[I’m crying! Didn’t he say three hours? Why did the food come out before the time was up? Boss Lin Yi, I need food … No, I need an explanation!]
[ I haven’t eaten all day, I’m so hungry!]
[I found some wild mushrooms to eat …]
[I’m not hungry, and I can tolerate it. However, my Vampire Bats seem famished. They keep staring at me, giving me looks as if they might suck my blood at any moment!]
[The person upstairs, it is best that you take the initiative to kill the bats first and eat their meat, then you don’t need to worry about them sucking your blood!]
[Support Teppanyaki!]
[Boss Lin Yi, do you have any food?]
[I’m so curious about Boss Lin Yi’s unit. He has obtained 200 units of food in such a short time. His unit must be absolutely powerful!]
[I suspect it’s a dragon!]
[Once, a Castle Lord claimed that he had randomly obtained Dragons as his Base Assault Unit and had even become a Dragon King! I guess that even if Boss Lin Yi doesn’t have a dragon as his unit, it is something on par or only second to dragons.]
Lin Yi was surprised looking at the chat. Who would have thought that someone would randomly obtain a dragon as their assault unit? As expected, he wasn’t the only lucky one out of a billion Castle Lords.
However, he did not care too much. Even though a dragon was a top-grade unit, it was nothing in front of his angels. His unit was a unique unit on the Boundless Continent.
Dragons were just creatures of a lower order. In terms of genes, bloodlines, authority, they both had a huge gap between them.
Lin Yi opened the warehouse and began to inventory his harvests. After everything was accounted for, he found that 200 units of food had been exchanged for 2000 units of wood and 1000 units of stone, and in addition to the wood and stones he bought earlier, he had a total of 2600 units of wood and 1200 units of stone.
The criteria for upgrading the castle was 2000 units of wood and 1000 units of stone; which had been fulfilled.
《Do you wish to upgrade the castle?》
“Yes.” He chose ‘yes’ without much hesitation.
Instantly, a dazzling golden light enveloped his castle.
A few seconds later, the golden light dispersed. A slightly grand castle appeared in front of Lin Yi. Compared to how it was before the upgrade, the upgraded castle was taller and larger, it was no longer shabby and old. It gave off a quaint aura.
《Congratulations! Your Angel Castle has been upgraded to an Intermediate Castle, and your territory has increased to 500 meters!》
《Defensive value of the Castle’s Heart has been increased by three times!》
《Angle Castle’s influence and reputation has greatly increased in the Boundless Continent!》
《Special reminder: Your castle is springing up in the Dark Forest!》
