Chapter 15

“Looks like I have to speed up the castle’s development.”

Gale looked at the virtual panel in front of him and had this thought.

There were a billion people participating in this beast tide assessment!

The rewards for the assessment were very generous, especially the unique reward. No one could resist such temptation.

Of course, death was unavoidable.

After the beast tide assessment ended, there would definitely be a large number of Castle Lords who would withdraw from the competition stage forever!

Death and opportunity coexisted.

Even if he did not receive the Unique Reward, just surviving should be enough to brighten the situation of a Castle Lord.

That was because, as long as one performed in the beast tide assessment, they would be rewarded!

After closing the [World Chat], Gale began to count all the resources he had obtained in the past two days.

Gale came into the courtyard.

With a wave of his hand, the pile of monster corpses on the ground was instantly deconstructed.

He obtained another 100 units of food.

As for the food, Gale once again put it on the trading channel.

Ever since he started eating the Tier 5 bear meat, his taste buds had become picky. Eating these low-level meat was like chewing wax.

Unless he was really hungry, Gale would not eat the meat of low levelled monsters often.

The sales of Gale’s products were very slow now.

The reason was naturally because the price he was selling was still high, and it wasn’t something an ordinary person could afford.

However, there were still many ‘spendthrifts’ that came to purchase it.

After all, there were only a few people selling food.

For example, the ‘cheap’ food that Rowling put up for sale was immediately snatched up.

Those who didn’t manage to get any food could only buy Gale’s ‘gold’ food with tears in their eyes.

Thus, Gale’s reputation as a ‘profiteer’ had completely spread.

More and more people are becoming familiar with his style.

Of course, it also attracted a large number of loyal ‘fans’ for him.

“It’s a pity that such high profits won’t last long.”

“I’m afraid the profits from the food are going to drop.”

According to Gale’s own conjecture.

When the third day arrived, another batch of Castle Lords would definitely summon soldiers with the ability to hunt monsters.

At that time, the difficulty of obtaining food would decrease.

No one would be willing to buy food at such a high price any longer.

As more and more Castle Lords began to hunt monsters, the number of people selling food would naturally increase.

This way, the price of food would definitely be suppressed.

After all, every owner of the castle who sold food wanted people to buy his food to obtain resources.

Although their profits would become lower, the number of people buying would increase.

Quantity over quality, this was the path of selling food in the future.

Luckily, Gale had already reaped the best profits from his sale of food.

Even if it was over, he would not suffer any losses.

Gale’s current resources were enough to upgrade his castle to an Advanced castle.

He believed that with such a speed of leveling up, he would definitely be the first among the one billion Lords!

After all, he was the only one who dared to sell food like this.

The price of food sold by others was only half of his.

Sometimes, it was even lower.

At the same time, a notification sounded.

[The upgrade conditions for the castle have been met. Do you want to upgrade immediately?]

“Upgrade!”

Gale had been looking forward to this moment for a long time.

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire castle was enveloped by light.

The appearance of the castle changed again.

Five minutes later.

A grand castle that was thirty meters tall stood before Gale.

The structure of the castle became bigger once again!

At this moment, the notification sounded again.

[Congratulations, the castle has been upgraded to an Advanced castle!]

[Your sphere of influence has increased to 2,000 meters!]

[The defense of the Castle Heart has been increased by three times!]

[The influence of your castle in the Endless Land has greatly increased!]

[Remark: In the forest, there are already organizations that have noticed the existence of your castle!]

Gale looked at the majestic castle before him.

It would be a lie to say that he did not feel emotional.

It was his first time seeing such a majestic structure.

Furthermore, it was his own residence.

With the upgrade of the castle, other than the upgrade of the buildings, the sphere of influence and the Castle Heart had also been upgraded.

The Castle Heart was the thing that looked like a tombstone in the center of his sphere of influence.

The Castle Heart had been upgraded once again, and it could be said to be difficult to destroy.

However, Gale didn’t think that this thing could really ignore the monsters’ attack.

It would at most delay the time needed for the monsters to completely destroy it.

If the monsters managed to break into the castle, it would only be a matter of time before they destroyed the Castle Heart.

As long as the Castle Heart was destroyed, it meant that this castle had lost the qualifications to contend in the Endless Land.

“The organizations in the forest?”

Gale looked towards the direction of the forest.

At the same time, he saw countless pairs of red eyes.

Looking away, Gale felt a vague headache coming on.

This was not good news.

They were still new to the game, so the monsters in the forest were not a threat to the castle.

But what about when their beginner’s period was over?

Those that noticed Gale’s castle would definitely swarm over.

Especially this organization.

He did not have much time left, only five days!

In the Endless Land, what they should be scared of were not the monsters, but the natives who were originally living here.

These organizations posed a greater threat to the Castle Lord than monsters.

After all, these organizations usually occupied a large area in the Endless Land.

If one wanted to truly occupy the Endless Land, then conflicts between both parties were unavoidable.

Similarly….

These organizations will also pay attention to you.

Unfortunately, Gale’s performance had already been noticed by a certain organization.

If not for the existence of the beginner protection period…

Perhaps this organization would have had long since come to attack the castle.

Gale instantly felt the terrifying grip of time on himself.

All he could do now was work hard to develop the castle.

This was the only way to resist the impending crisis when the protection period was over.

Be it the beast tide or the native organizations, the basis to stand tall amidst this would be the strength of the Castle Lord. Anything else would be just empty words.

As though sensing the change in Gale’s mood, both of his battle units knelt on one knee.

They turned to Gale and said, “I’m willing to become a sharp sword in Master’s hands and cut down all enemies!”

Gale stared at the blood moon hanging in the sky.

Perhaps it was because his strength had reached Tier 2.

This time, he did not feel any discomfort.

“I must get this Unique Reward!”

Gale stood on the observation deck, staring into the red eyes in the dark.

If he wanted to dominate the Endless Lands, he had to obtain this Unique reward.

Furthermore, he had to be extremely confident that he could obtain it.
