Chapter 16: Legendary Geng Metal!

Subsequently, Yun Shen spent five hundred Source Crystals to build another Blank Magic Tower.

However, he didn't rush to endow it with an entry.

"Upgrade!"

[You consumed Soul Crystal ×500 to upgrade the Fire Rain Tower to level 2.]

[You consumed Soul Crystal ×250 to upgrade the Blank Magic Tower to level 2.]

Although he couldn't find a loophole in the entries, he could upgrade the Blank Magic Tower before endowing it with an entry.

In the future, he could continue to do this, and over time, he would definitely be able to save a large amount of Soul Crystals!

"It's really expensive."

When Yun Shen was in school, he knew that the amount of Soul Crystals required for upgrading buildings like defense towers was five times that of heroes of the same quality, which was ten times that of troops of the same quality!

After completing the upgrade, Yun Shen endowed it with the [Thunder Spear] entry, making it successfully sublimate into a [Thunder Spear Tower].

Although they are currently in the novice protection period and wild monsters cannot enter the territory, they can still Long Linger around the territory.

Earlier in the chat channel, a territory owner said that he was blocked at the door by a group of goblins and could not leave the territory at all.

Now that two defense towers are set up, if any wild monsters come around, they can still grind some Soul Crystals. ===== CHAPTER 30 =====

As for the Source Crystals consumed, Yun Shen doesn't care much for now.

A level 2 defense tower of excellent quality basically kills small monsters in seconds and won't turn into a protracted war, so it won't consume many Source Crystals.

In addition, when the defense tower kills wild monsters, it will also drop loot, so the income can offset the Source Crystals consumed.

The one hundred Source Crystals per minute consumption described on the Fire Rain Tower's information is not calculated based on one hundred Source Crystals for every use, but based on every attack.

Yun Shen walked to the side of the Fire Rain Tower and took out one hundred Source Crystals to charge it.

After having warehouse-type buildings in the future, there will be no need to continue manual charging like this, and the defense tower can be fully automated to fill Source Crystals.

After charging the two defense towers, Yun Shen remembered that he hadn't upgraded Teacher Jiang Lan and the Twelve Beauties of Jinling yet.

Even if heroes and troops are fighting outside, the territory owner can upgrade them remotely.

"Upgrade."

[You consumed Soul Crystal ×1000 to upgrade the hero "Teacher Jiang Lan" to level 2.]

[You consumed Soul Crystal ×3000 to upgrade the 12 Pink Skulls (Epic) to level 2.]

"Soul Crystals are still not enough to spend."

Watching himself consume 5750 Soul Crystals in a short period of time, Yun Shen sighed sincerely.

As for the other two defense towers, he wasn't in a hurry. He put them into the thatched hut and would take them out to use when he rolled satisfactory entries later.

Regarding this thatched hut, Yun Shen had also rolled entries, but three blue light orbs made him have no thoughts at all.

As for the wooden fence that was about to be completed...

The thrifty Yun Shen ultimately didn't use Source Crystals to skip the construction time, but chose to wait.

Unlike defense towers, the role of the wooden fence is purely defensive rather than output, and it won't show any effect until the novice protection period ends.

Next, Yun Shen wasn't idle. Zhu Ying's aggressive actions made him feel a trace of urgency.

Prestige is a good thing. If he can find the [Prestige Hall] in the future, he can use prestige to exchange for various precious props. The novice trial is one of the few ways to obtain prestige.

He must get the prestige reward for being the first to upgrade to a level 3 territory!

So Yun Shen looked at all the wood and stone in the territory. Upgrading to a level 3 territory requires one hundred units of excellent-quality wood and stone each!

"Refresh!"

Light orbs emerged one after another, dense and numerous, making Yun Shen's eyes dazzle.

He suddenly realized one thing: a stone the size of half a person could roll an entry, and a stone the size of a thumb could also roll an entry.

And when mining, a lot of gravel would be produced, which also meant that Yun Shen's refreshing workload was very huge...

Fortunately, refreshing and endowing entries are done by mind; otherwise, Yun Shen's efficiency would be even slower.

[Green Glow] (Green): ...

[Glacier] (Blue): ...

[Earth Core Quenching] (Orange): ...

[Geng Metal Qi] (Gold): ...

[Sea Qi] (Purple): ...

The vast majority were gray, white, green, and blue, with very few appearing purple and orange. There was only one golden entry.

After all, they were all low-level materials. Being able to roll a golden entry was really because there were too many of them, and he happened to roll one.

"Good guy, a small iron mine can actually roll a golden entry?"

Yun Shen was shocked and immediately endowed the entry. That fist-sized iron ore, after a flash of golden light, turned into Geng Metal!

He had heard of the name of Geng Metal. Even among legendary materials, it had a great reputation. Weapons forged with it would possess Geng Metal Qi and be sharp and unstoppable!

"It's a pity, I can't use this thing for now. I'll sell it after taking it back to the main world later."

Yun Shen is not short of Source Crystals now, but after returning to the main world, he will definitely be short.

Before the territory owner reaches level one hundred, they can return to the main world once a day.

Every month, they can bring ten items from the main world to the Myriad Races Battlefield, as well as enough Source Crystals for development.

Time passed second by second.

After Yun Shen finished refreshing and endowing all the entries, he classified them and stacked all resources of the same quality together.

There are many types of excellent-quality wood and stone. There is no specific variety stipulated for upgrading, which means that as long as the wood and stone resources reach the green excellent level, they can be used to upgrade the territory!

"Sigh, I shouldn't have let Teacher Jiang Lan leave so quickly."

Yun Shen sighed. The wood that Teacher Jiang Lan cut earlier was already not enough at this moment.

Excellent-quality wood: 58 units.

Excellent-quality stone: 39 units.

This quantity is completely insufficient!

Yun Shen thought about it. Upgrading to a level 3 territory not only requires materials but also two thousand two hundred Soul Crystals. Even Zhu Ying would find it difficult to grind them out in a short time.

In addition, the reason Zhu Ying was able to upgrade to level 2 so quickly was that those materials were traded from other new territory owners through the trading house.

Otherwise, relying on herself alone, she couldn't achieve such fast efficiency.

And the price of excellent-quality materials is much more expensive than ordinary wood. Unless she agrees to credit, Zhu Ying's Source Crystals would definitely not be enough to spend.

He also took a look at the trading house. Indeed, some people listed excellent-quality materials, but the prices were falsely high, and one could tell at a glance that they were thinking of pitting some sucker.

Zhu Ying is not a fool, and it is impossible to spend all her Source Crystals here.

"Hmm, the wooden fence is built. Time passes really fast."

Yun Shen raised his eyes and looked at the circle of wooden fences around the territory.

He had been too focused on refreshing entries just now and hadn't noticed this.

Now that the work at hand was finished, let's see what entries this wooden fence could roll.

"Refresh!" ===== CHAPTER 31 =====
