Little be fan, it's you again.
Why must you seek to bear children with everyone? Are you an ancient forest ape? Do you see my ID? I'm speaking of you, Lil Fan.
The exchange of barbs begins omitted here.
In less than 2 days, Baya had accumulated over 2,000 units of food in the trading post.
She also discovered the secret of her own body.
It seems she had truly acquired the traits of the undead, even feeling capable of existing without sustenance.
Perhaps due to her low rank, she has yet to attain the realm of boundless endurance.
Wait, why? Boundless endurance? Surely it cannot mean shedding her corporeal form to become a mere skeleton.
I would rather embrace death.
Nonetheless, abstaining from food and drink has its merits, allowing her to enter a state of fasting and embark on her journey of cultivation.
How could a celestial maiden ever need to relieve herself? Even if she did, it would undoubtedly be of a pink hue, perhaps even strawberry flavored.
This realization alleviates quite a bit of trouble for Bayou.
reminiscing about her past when she still possessed a male form.
Any large tree by the roadside could serve as her chosen place to relieve herself.
Alas, those days are gone.
Now, each visit to the restroom necessitates a crouch and a cautious glance to ensure no prying eyes are lurking.
How frustrating.
This wretched sense of shame.
She hasn't even had enough of her own sight.
How could she allow others to gaze upon her? What you say? There are no onlookers near the castle.
that is of no consequence.
No living being should be present at the fair trade exchange of myriad races.
In contrast to the initial day when only a handful of lords were selling food, the number of lords offering sustenance has surged significantly.
These lords having recuperated after a day development have recognized the immense profits stemming from food trade.
They have begun to strategize ways for their troops to procure food, even resorting to selling at lower prices to compete with Bayou and her counterparts.
Bayou and a few other lords, also trading food at a four-fold premium, have felt considerable pressure.
However, Bayou supplies prevail in quantity and stability with her transactions yielding the greatest volume.
It is merely the second day.
By the third and fourth days, it is likely that even the four-fold premium food will cease to sell, and by the fifth and sixth days, not even at par will anyone wish to barter.
The depreciation is occurring at an alarming pace.
" She let out a soft sigh.
By that time, even the most inept lords will not lack this fundamental resource, food.
Yet, among the billions of lords, there are bound to be a few foolish ones, like that unfortunate neighbor by US Castle.
These imbeciles will likely find themselves devoid of food long before the seventh day of the novice protection period, facing demise.
Even if they miraculously endure, the beast tied after 7 days will spell their doom.
Thus, even though Bayu's food trade is currently experiencing some turbulence, it is not a grave concern.
With billions of lords, there will always be a market to absorb it.
As she surveyed the information on the exchange, it appeared that until the low-priced food orders were fulfilled, her own orders would not be addressed.
An entire hour passed before the one 860 portions of food were finally traded successfully.
Following the completion of Bayou's orders, there were scarcely any food orders left on the exchange.
Say for the occasional small order that would vanish within seconds.
One particular order caught by Yu's attention.
A lord with the ID Xiao's orphan transacted 300 portions of food at once, entirely exchanging for stone, amounting to a total of 600 units of stone.
A rather uncommon sight.
Could it be that this lord resides near a mountain range? Or perhaps their summoned units are stone golems, allowing for immediate resource procurement.
The trading orders by you had encountered previously, including this one, had never exceeded a 100 portions in a single transaction.
Most transactions involved only a handful of orders, typically ranging from a dozen to several dozen.
How could a lord capable of procuring 6,000 units of stone possibly lack food? She pondered this with a mix of curiosity and bewilderment.
Bayou examined the fruits of this transaction, having acquired a total of 40,000 units of wood, 20,000 units of stone, and 360 magic crystals.
The majority of those exchanging magic crystals for food were doing so with just one or two crystals, as their reserves were scant, rendering them unable to procure sufficient sustenance.
Thus they were compelled to part with their limited magic crystals to secure food, lest both the lord and her troops face starvation.
What use would those few crystals serve otherwise? Through this gradual accumulation of one or two crystals, Bayou had successfully amassed 360 magic crystals.
And with the 660 crystals stored in her warehouse, she had surpassed a milestone of 1,000.
Yet she now found herself in a quandry.
Just moments ago, she had declared she wouldn't upgrade the barracks due to insufficient magic crystals.
But now that her crystal count was adequate, she faced a shortage of spirit cores.
She needed just three more spirit cores to construct the special building, the throne of bones, or to upgrade her crystal.
How frustrating.
The dilemma was quite exasperating.
If only she could acquire 13 more spirit cores.
Chapter 16.
constructing the unique structure blackwater alter white you harbored hope that Arthur would procure three spirit cores today.
Her expectations rested solely on him.
However, even if he failed to acquire them during the day, there remained a possibility of encountering advanced units at night.
Should the evening mirror the previous night with a dozen howling silver wolves, she was confident in her ability to capture them all.
For now, she decided to set aside these thoughts and would contemplate them once she had sufficient materials.
Her first priority was to upgrade her castle.
She had previously reserved the necessary materials for constructing the throne of bones, and with a recent trade of food for 40 wood and 2000 stone.
Her warehouse boasted nearly 100 wood and stone combined.
The magical continent referred to her as a small upstart.
Upgrade requirements 12 0000 wood 6 0000 stone.
She glanced once more at the castle's upgrade criteria to elevate her level 7 castle.
Only 12 0000 wood and 6 0000 stone were required.
Without hesitation, she clicked to initiate the upgrade.
As expected, there was no visible change, only an increase in health and area.
Furthermore, the materials for upgrades had become more expensive.
I will upgrade again.
Castle level 9 max.
Upgrade requirements 50000000 wood, 3000 stone, 10 0000 iron ingots.
Notice the castle has reached its maximum level.
Further upgrades will transform it into a town.
Congratulations, Lord.
You have received a blueprint for a special structure.
White you.
How much? 5000 wood.
3000 0 stone.
Why don't you just go and steal it? What on earth are iron ingots? I have never seen them before.
And you expect me to procure 10 000 at once? Do you think they grow on trees? This is not how one plays a game.
It appears that the level 9 castle has indeed reached its peak.
Upgrading it further would convert it into a town.
Just the name suggests it would be significantly larger than a castle and its functionalities would surely expand.
For someone like White U, who was a master in online games in her previous life, iron ingots were a concept she easily understood.
She was not foolish enough to believe they could be obtained by defeating highle monsters.
Yet, with so many lords, it was conceivable that some might harbor such misguided notions.
It was evident that the game required one to mine, find iron, ore, and smelt it into ingots, akin to what she had experienced in her previous game, Minecraft.
But what a predicament.
Outside her castle lay swamps and snowcapped mountains.
Where could one possibly find iron ore? Whiteu speculated that she was among the first group of players to elevate their castles to the highest level.
As for the iron ingots, she believed that where there is a will, there is a way.
Solutions are always abundant in the face of challenges.
