Chapter 11: Iron Blocks Obtained, Upgrading Territory (Seeking flowers!!!)

[Ding! Trade successful!]

Accompanied by a notification.

The 100 units of food hanging on the trading panel vanished into thin air.

At the same time.

Thirty units of iron blocks appeared in White Cloud Village's warehouse.

Well, the warehouse was equivalent to the player's inventory, which could store resources.

No matter how much, it could be stored directly.

Immediately after.

Su Li took out another 100 units of food and hung it on the trading panel, also specifying an exchange for iron blocks.

And this time, he even increased the exchange ratio: 3 units of food for 1 unit of iron block.

"Hey, the 100 units of food, why did it disappear?"

"It seems to have disappeared; maybe it was snapped up by someone?"

"No way, is there anyone who can take out so many iron blocks now?"

"Hey, the 100 units of food that big shot Su posted, why did it appear again?"

"That must be him modifying the information, taking it down, and putting it back up."

Quite a few players were staring at Su Li's 100-unit food trade column, watching it disappear once and then appear again.

Everyone thought it was Su Li modifying the information, taking it down, and putting it back up.

Little did they know that he had sold it and put up a new batch of 100 units of food.

However, while others didn't know the changes within, there was one female player with brows like a painting and skin like congealed fat who knew it perfectly well.

Hmm, that's right, this female player was none other than Mu Mu Qingqing.

She had just glanced at the trading panel, saw the 100 units of food on it, and then looked at the 100 units of food that had just appeared in her warehouse.

After being stunned for a moment, Mu Mu Qingqing reacted, and immediately, with her hands on her slender waist, she muttered angrily: "Sure enough, a man's mouth is a deceiver's ghost; didn't he say he only had 100 units of food?"

"If I had known this guy had so much food, I should have traded for more; wuwuwu, the iron blocks I worked so hard to dig were all taken to trade for food..."

On the other side, Su Li sneezed.

He was currently in the Lord's Mansion, and for some reason, his nose suddenly felt itchy. ===== CHAPTER 25 =====

Of course, this was not important.

What was important was that he had finally gathered the materials needed for the territory upgrade.

He opened the Lord's panel and selected: Upgrade Territory!

Consumed 500 units of wood, 500 units of stone, and 20 units of iron blocks.

A moment later, the territory began to upgrade.

This upgrade process did not require the input of farmers; it was all completed automatically.

In less than half an hour, the territory upgrade was completed.

First, the land area was twice as large as before, and a Lord's Mansion with thicker, sturdier-looking architecture appeared before Su Li.

The roof had high rafters and mud tiles, the ground had a foundation paved with stone, and there were green plants all around; it was countless times better than the original wooden-tiled house.

The layout inside the Lord's Mansion was symmetrically three rooms and two halls: the front was the council hall, the middle was the living room, the back was three bedrooms, and there were circular courtyards on both sides.

Tables, chairs, and benches were all complete, and even the bed for sleeping was covered with soft cushions.

Only after the upgrade did the Lord's Mansion look like a real Lord's Mansion; it was comfortable just to look at.

"This is what a house a lord should live in."

Su Li was quite satisfied with the upgraded territory.

"View attributes!"

[Territory Upgrade Requirements]: Possess all buildable buildings, 1000 wood, 1000 stone, 50 iron blocks

After the territory upgrade, the number of farmers that could be recruited became 10 per day.

The original Militia Camp could also be upgraded to a real Barracks.

Besides that, two new buildings could be constructed: a Blacksmith Shop and a Medical Hall.

Su Li first checked the conditions for upgrading the Barracks and constructing the Blacksmith Shop and Medical Hall.

[Militia Camp → Barracks]

[Required Materials: 100 units of wood, 100 units of stone]

[Blacksmith Shop]

[Required Materials: 50 units of wood, 30 units of stone, 5 units of iron blocks]

[Medical Hall]

[Required Materials: 50 units of wood, 50 units of stone, 10 units of food]

The required materials were not many; currently, Su Li could fully afford them.

Then there was nothing more to say; first, recruit 5 more farmers through the Lord's Mansion.

Then, pull them all together to upgrade and build the Barracks, Blacksmith Shop, and Medical Hall.

The new book sets sail; seeking flowers and ratings!!! ===== CHAPTER 26 =====

It took a few hours.

Three new buildings rose from the ground.

Let's look at the Barracks first.

It was currently a Level 1 Barracks.

It could convert militiamen into three types of basic troop types: infantry, spearmen, and archers.

The materials required for job transfer were as follows:

Infantry: 1 unit of food, 2 units of wood, Iron Blade X1, Iron Armor X1

Spearmen: 3 units of food, 2 units of wood, Iron Spear X1, Inferior Armor X1

Archers: 2 units of food, 2 units of wood, Bow Weapon X1

Needless to say about food; to transfer to basic troop types, one must have the corresponding weapons and armor.

This required the Blacksmith Shop to realize.

Su Li immediately checked the information of the Blacksmith Shop.

[Blacksmith Shop]

[Currently exchangeable: Inferior Iron Blade, Material requirements: 2 units of iron blocks, 3 units of wood]

[Currently exchangeable: Inferior Leather Armor, Material requirements: 1 unit of iron block, 3 units of wood]

[Currently exchangeable: Inferior Iron Spear, Material requirements: 2 units of iron blocks, 5 units of wood]

[Currently exchangeable: Wooden Short Bow, Material requirements: Beast Tendon X1, 5 units of wood]

[Currently exchangeable: Wooden Arrows, Material requirements: 10 units of wood = 1 set (100 arrows)]

[Possess rare materials, can commission forging]

The Blacksmith Shop was convenient; as long as there were materials, equipment could be exchanged directly.

It's just that...

The blades, armor, and spears required for infantry and spearmen all needed iron blocks.

And what Su Li lacked most right now was iron blocks, so he could only ignore them for now.

Focus on the bow weapons required for archer job transfer.

Exchanging for a Wooden Short Bow only required 1 Beast Tendon and 5 units of wood.

For Su Li, this was very easy to achieve.

Previously, in the mountain forest, he didn't know how many beasts he had killed and how many beast tendons he had collected.

Plus, he had a lot of wood in stock, so he could fully forge Wooden Short Bows in batches.

This way, he could first form an archer team to improve the territory's combat effectiveness.

Besides that.

Possessing rare materials, he could also commission the Blacksmith Shop to forge.

It just so happened that when Su Li killed the Gray Wolf King, he had obtained a [Tough Beast Tendon] (★).

Although it was only one star and looked very low-level, it still belonged to rare materials.

He could take it to try. ===== CHAPTER 27 =====
