------------------
After the golden light dissipated, Haru hurriedly checked his personal status. Sure enough, he broke through. His level has changed from Tier 0 to Tier 1. Although he was still at the bottom of the Endless Continent, at least he was no longer powerless. The wild monster corpses in the castle yard have also piled up a lot, there were more than a dozen of them lying there waiting to be 'collected'.
As Haru began collecting them one by one, a total of 200 units of food and thirteen intact pelts were obtained as well as varying amounts of monster materials such as wolf teeth, snake scales, etc. but he didn't know what these monster materials were used for.
He also accumulated ten Power Stones. The [Angel Reincarnation Pool] required 100 Power Stones to get upgraded to level 2 and now, he had obtained one-tenth of this amount. Compared to the castle, it seems that upgrading the barracks is more difficult because there is no way to obtain the Power Stone through collection from the wild. They could only be obtained by killing wild monsters. However, the wood and stone used to upgrade the castle could be seen everywhere.
"Two hundred units of food. If I trade all of it for wood and stone, I can fully meet the upgrade requirements of the castle." Haru thought and suddenly got a little excited. There was no need for the three-hour wait. He directly put all the food on the [Hyperspace Trading Channel] with the same price as before.
[One unit of food can be traded for one Power Stone.]
[Alternative Items:
Twenty units of wood
Ten units of stone.]
As soon as the food was put on the shelves, it was looted by the Castle Lords as many of them had been sitting on the trading channel for fear of missing the opportunity. Admittedly, Haru's trade-in price was indeed a bit dark but they could only bite the bullet. After all, even if they could go hungry, they wouldn't die of starvation without food for a day or two but the troops under their command were not the same.
When a troop was hungry, first its combat effectiveness would decrease and secondly their loyalty would decrease. Once the loyalty dropped below 60 points, events like betrayal were very likely to occur.
The troops of other Castle Lords were not like Haru's Angels that were born from the [Angel Reincarnation Pool], locked with 100 points of die-hard loyalty. Angels never betray their Lord. This was the hidden attribute of Angels. However, other troops would show different attitudes towards their Castle Lord because of the loyalty aspect.
[Are you crazy?!]
[Two hundred units of food were robbed in two seconds?]
[I barely managed to collect ten units of stones but I still didn't get the food!]
[Didn't this guy say that food will be available after three hours? 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 am not that hungry, I can bear it but my troops, the Vampire Bats, are hungry and now they are staring at me with red eyes. I suspect they want to suck my blood.]
[It is best to kill the bats to get meat, then you won't have to worry about losing loyalty and getting your blood sucked!]
[Do you still have any food Mr. Haru? If you have some then put it all on the shelves!]
[I'm very curious about what kind of troops Haru has. He has obtained another 200 units of food in such a short period of time. The strength of his troops should absolutely be awesome!]
[I suspect he has Dragons!]
[Before, a Castle Lord claimed that he randomly got Dragons as his troops and claimed to be the Dragon king! I speculate that there shouldn't be many Castle Lords with Dragon troops. Even if Haru's troops are not Dragons, they should have similar strength.]
[Agreed!]
Looking at the messages in the chat channel, Haru was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, someone randomly got the Dragon troops. Sure enough, among the billions of Castle Lords, he was not the only one who was lucky but he didn't care too much.
Although the Dragons were top-level troops, they were nothing in front of his Angels. His Angels were troops unique to him in the whole Endless Continent. For Angels, Dragons were just creatures from the lower planes. There were huge gaps in the level of bloodline between the two races.
...
Haru opened the castle warehouse's panel and counted the harvest. Two hundred units of food were sold for two thousand units of wood and one thousand units of stone. Plus the wood and stone that were traded in before, he now had a total of 2,600 units of wood and 1,200 units of stone.
The requirements for upgrading the castle were 2,000 units of wood and 1,000 units of stone. Now that both requirements have been met, his Angel Castle can be upgraded!
[Do you want to upgrade your castle?]
[Yes] [No]
"Yes, upgrade it!" Haru didn't hesitate and chose yes immediately. In an instant, a dazzling golden light enveloped his castle.
After a few seconds, the golden light dissipated. A slightly grand castle appeared in his field of vision. Compared with before, the upgraded castle was taller and bigger. It was no longer the shabby, old and dilapidated castle from before.
[Congratulations, your Angel Castle has been upgraded to an intermediate castle, and its sphere of influence has been increased to 500 meters!]
[The defense value of the Castle Heart has tripled!]
[Your Angel Castle has greatly increased its influence and prestige in the Endless Continent!]
[Special reminder: In the dark forest, your Angel Castle has reached the 'Emerging' status!]
