After getting a view of the big picture, Gale prepared to go to bed.
Tonight, his [Friend] list was unusually quiet.
For the first time tonight, Natalie did not look for Galel to chat.
Gale did not find this strange at all.
There were less than two days left, so this little girl must be busy with equipment forging.
Where would she be able to find the time to chat with him?
At the end of the day, the two of them were just partners and could barely be considered friends.
This could also be considered as the first friend Gale made after coming to the Endless Land.
Overall, it was not bad.
"I hope we can keep working together."
Gale lay in bed, staring through the window at the bloody moon on the horizon.
If Natalie was eliminated in the beast tide, their cooperation would be canceled.
Thus, Gale sincerely hoped that this little girl could safely survive this beast tide.
Soon after, Gale fell asleep.
...
Day and night alternated.
The sky turned bright.
A new day had arrived!
Gale got up very early today.
Even before the sun had fully risen, he was already eating breakfast.
Today was the sixth day since the one billion Castle Lords had arrived at the Endless Land.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, there was only one day left until the beginner's protection period ended.
Once the protective period was over, the first difficulty the Castle Lords would face was not a beast tide, but rather the monsters that would wandered around the castle every day.
In fact, some of the weaker Castle Lords might not even last until the start of the beast tide.
Without a doubt, all the Castle Lords began to raise the strength of their castles.
No one was willing to be eliminated.
Elimination meant death.
Everyone was afraid of death.
This was the same for Gale.
...
The sky brightened.
The Nightmare Team began to move.
According to Gale's orders, they would proceed to clean up those dragon monsters today.
There were nearly 90 Dragon Tribe members.
Killing all of them could provide Gale with a large amount of resources.
While his battle units went out to hunting for monsters, Gale sat on the sofa and opened the [Trading Channel].
All the food that was put on sale yesterday evening was sold out.
Nearly 5,000 units of food were sold.
In terms of quantity, this was a lot of food, but compared to the grand scale of a billion Castle Lords, this was merely a drop in the bucket.
This amount of food was not enough to satisfy the needs of so many people.
Fortunately, Gale was hailed as the number one person in the Endless Land.
His reputation naturally far surpassed that of the other Castle Lords, and allowed his food to be sold off faster than others.
So far, Gale's food sales were still steadily at the top based on quantity sold.
Most importantly, Gale's pricing was always slightly higher than market prices.
Only Gale dared to sell food like this.
If it were any other Castle Lord who dared to do this, the only result would only be a lack of business.
Next, Gale went through the resources obtained from selling food.
28,000 units of wood, 7,500 units of stone, and 200 units of pure iron.
The resources in his warehouse, together with these, had a total of 95,000 units of wood, 29,000 units of stone and 1,800 units of pure iron.
Up till now, the number of Castle Lords who traded food for pure iron was so low that it was pitiful.
In other words, other than Natalie, no other Castle Lord had the means to obtain a steady flow of pure iron.
This was neither good nor bad news for Gale.
If there were more Castle Lords with pure iron, then Gale would also obtain more pure iron.
However, if the pure iron resource overflowed, it would become worthless!
At that point, the prices would definitely plummet.
It was not just pure iron that was affected. It could also affect the price of forged equipment.
"Looks like I'm not too far away from promotion."
Soon, he would be able to upgrade his Castle to an Elementary Town.
This would be a huge improvement.
Retracting his thoughts, Gale went to the courtyard.
He prepared to summon the new battle units today.
Because he sent the other battle units out early today, there was only himself doing the recruitment this time.
[Recruit now?]
"Recruit!"
[Please select the battle unit!]
"Elf battle unit — Elven Empress!"
[Selecting your recruitment choice!]
A short time later, a new unit appeared in front of Gale.
This time, he chose to recruit another Elven Empress.
The reason was very simple. The Elven Empress' combat ability was very strong.
This was especially so when it came to group attacks. In addition, she also possessed powerful commanding abilities.
Logically speaking, Gale would prioritize this type of battle unit.
Besides, his army structure was special.
It would not limit the number of summons of the same type.
Because of this, Gale could build an army whose members were all individually strong in the future.
Just think about it, in the future, there would be hundreds of Elven Empresses going out together.
What kind of scene would that be!?
The new Elven Empress looked different from Cicely.
In terms of height, Cicely was the taller one..
Luckily, Gale could identify them through their hair color as well.
"You will be called Miya from now on."
In the end, he still could not escape this special hobby.
It couldn't be helped, he had to give some sort of identification to make his life easier as well.
After all, there would be more battle units of the same type in the future. It would be easier to distinguish if they had a name.
"Miya thanks you for the name, Master."
Miya said respectfully.
Then, Gale opened the virtual interface to view her stats.
[Elven Empress (Miya)]
[Current Stage: Adolescent Stage]
[Strength: Tier 5 (Kill enemies to obtain Energy for upgrading)]
[Potential: God Tier possible at Perfect Form]
[Loyalty: 100 (Absolute Loyalty)]
[Note: Loyalty Meter has been locked. This type of battle unit's Loyalty Meter will never drop.]
The information was the same as his first Elven Empress.
The only difference was that Miya immediately started off in the adolescent stage.
However, she was not at Perfect Form.
Otherwise, her strength would directly reach God Tier!
However, Gale would not ask for so much.
The probability of summoning a Perfect Form battle unit was too small.
Unless there was a day when the heavens suddenly favored him, such a thing would almost never happen.
"Go look for and join the Nightmare Team."
Gale spoke to Miya.
With the addition of new members, the pace of their battles and hunts would definitely be much faster.
Now, time was of the essence.
"Yes, Master."
As fellow battle units, Miya could sense where her companions were.
This saved a lot of time.
After watching Miya leave, Gale opened his [Friend] list.
On the virtual interface, only a single name was there. That was his partner Natalie.
However, there were still many Castle Lords who wanted to add Gale as a friend every day.
There were tens of millions of them, close to a hundred million.
Towards those requests, Gale rejected them all.
It was useless for him to have so many friends, let alone a group of weaklings who wanted to earn a living.
Just then, Natalie sent a message.
Out of curiosity, Gale clicked on it.
All of a sudden, his original good mood turned sour.
