nBesides, food was easy for him to obtain.

nThe little loli chatted with him for a while.

nMike was all smiles.

nAfter wishing each other a safe morning, Mike turned off his friend information.

nThen, he exchanged the refined iron he had traded for.

n

"I have a stock of refined iron, 22,220 units.

"

n

"273,630 units of wood.

"

n

"149,500 units of stone.

"

n

"Everything is ready!

"

nMike did not hesitate and opened the castle information prompt...

nDo you wish to upgrade Dragon King Castle to a town?

nYesNo

n

"Upgrade!

"

nSuddenly, a rich golden light enveloped his Dragon King Castle.

nHe could not see what was happening inside at all.

nHe could only vaguely see that the castle's height was increasing, and its scale was also increasing.

nAt the same time.

nThe earth was shaking, and the Beginner's protective shield was also expanding outward.

nThe wild monsters gathered outside the castle were forcefully pushed back.

nSome wild monsters were roaring angrily and charging at the beginner's protective shield. Their heads were bleeding, but the protective shield was undamaged.

nThe beginner's protective shield would end in about two hours.

nIt was still invincible!

nMike also saw that as the protective shield spread, the trees around the castle, the boulders in the mountains, and so on, all disappeared into thin air and became flat ground.

nA few minutes later.

nThe mutation ended.

nAn open space with a diameter of about two thousand meters appeared around the Dragon King Castle.

nHis castle was in the center of the empty space.

nIt was empty all around. Outside of the dragon nest and the warehouse, there were no other buildings.

n

"Obviously, the castle's buildings need to be built by ourselves!

"

nMike did not care about this.

nIn the future, the more building blueprints that were dropped, the more buildings in the territory would naturally increase.

nMike looked at his castle.

nAt this moment, the golden light had already dissipated, and the castle revealed a brand new appearance.

nIt had become even more magnificent than before!

nIt was nearly forty meters tall, about thirteen to fourteen stories high.

nThere were four secondary castles, and at the top of each secondary castle, there was a huge dragon statue.

nThe exterior decoration of the castle was also more exquisite.

nIt was no longer the low-grade castle from the beginning. It was tattered, as if no one had lived in it for more than ten years.

nNow, his castle looked like it was built by a noble, and it was magnificent.

nDragon King Castle.

nCurrent level: Basic town.

nOrdinary building: Warehouse.

nSpecial building: Dragon nest.

nUpgrade requirements: 500,000 units of wood, 300,000 units of stones, and 100,000 units of fine iron.

nNext level: Intermediate town.

nCurrent status: Invincible.

nCurrent faction: None.

n...

nLooking at the upgrade requirements for the next level intermediate town.

nMike felt a slight pain in his teeth.

nThis was just upgrading to an intermediate town. If he were to upgrade to a city, a megacity, a kingdom, or an empire in the future, how many resources would he need?

nJust thinking about it made his scalp go numb.

n'Perhaps in the later stages, I'll use less ordinary resources. On the contrary, I'll need some precious materials!'

nMike thought so.

nAt this time, the message came as expected.

nCongratulations, Castle Lord!

nYour Dragon King Castle has been upgraded to a basic town. Its area of influence has been increased to 5,000 meters!

nThe defense value of the castle heart has been increased by five times!

nYour Dragon King Castle's influence and reputation in the foreign land have been greatly increased!

nSpecial reminder: some forces in the Nirvana forest have noticed your castle!

n...

n

"The area of influence is 5,000 meters!

"

n

"It's almost close to the area of influence of that person's castle.

"

nThe Castle Lord, whom Mike regarded as an enemy force, was about 8 kilometers away from him, which was 8,000 meters.

nThe area of influence of the two people was about to intersect.

nUnder such circumstances, even if there was no previous friction, the two castle forces would definitely start a war.

nTherefore, a war between castles was inevitable.

nOne could only blame the two castles for being too close to each other.

n

"The defense of the heart of the castle has increased by five times!

"

n

"Every time the castle upgrades, the defense of the heart of the castle will double!

"

n

"Its influence and reputation have also increased by a large margin!

"

n

"Some forces should be careful.

"

nAfter all, if they wanted to rule the silent extinction forest, they would have to clash with them.

nWar was inevitable.

n

"Wait!

"

n

"Is there no reward for upgrading a town?

"

nMike suddenly reacted and asked in his mind.

nThen, he received a response from the notification.

nThere is no special reward for upgrading a castle. Only the world announcement is used to motivate the other Castle Lords to work hard to develop their own castle forces!

nMike immediately retorted.

n

"How can you motivate other Castle Lords without any rewards?

"

n

"You have to understand that just because there are no rewards for leveling up, many top-tier Castle Lords are dragging their feet and not leveling up their castles. Instead, they are here to bid for my high-tier equipment.

"

nCastle lords who receive excellent marks in the Beast Tide event can receive rewards!

nIn short...

nThere was no reward for upgrading the castle!

nMike was very unhappy. He felt that he had lost 100 million.

nHe opened the world chat channel.

nThe world chat channel was already in chaos because the world announcement had changed.

nWorld announcement: Congratulations to the Castle Lord, Mike, for being the first to upgrade the castle into a town. His influence and reputation in the Otherworld Continent have been greatly increased! I look forward to the Castle Lords not forgetting their original intentions and continuing to work hard! Look forward to stepping on the path of the ten thousand races as soon as possible and becoming a god and becoming immortal!

nWorld announcement??

nF*ck! Big brother Mike is awesome!

nThe first world announcement in history!

nBig brother Mike has upgraded his castle so quickly. Mine is still an intermediate castle!

nAlthough mine is an advanced castle, it is still far away from leveling up!

nBig boss Mike auctioned off his equipment today. He made a lot of money! What's so strange about leveling up a town?

nDon't delay my admiration for Big Boss Mike!

nWorld announcement! When can I have one too? Then I will die in peace!

nI'm very curious, what reward did big brother Mike get for being the first to level up his town?

nMaybe it's god-tier equipment!

nAnyway, the reward must be very generous. After all, even the world announcement has been released!

nThe world chat channel was very lively.

nMany Castle Lords were guessing what reward Mike got?

nGod-tier equipment, blueprints, equipment, and so on. There were all kinds of speculations.

nEven some Castle Lords with top-tier military services stood out. They congratulated Mike while expressing their envy.

nOnly Mike himself felt very uncomfortable.

nHe felt very wronged.

nApart from a world announcement, there were no rewards at all!

nHe felt like he was losing blood.

nHowever, even if he knew that this would be the result, Mike would still upgrade the castle.

nAfter all, this was the 'main mission', and it had to be completed without a reward.
