[Zhu Ruolan: I want fifty wood and stone in exchange for roasted rabbit meat*20.]
The trade offer was simple and clean.
Lin Feng was surprised that she had obtained so much roasted rabbit meat; nonetheless, he did not hesitate and agreed.
Twenty units of rabbit meat were equivalent to ten kilograms of meat. Although he didn't make a profit, he at least didn't lose anything.
[Zhu Ruolan: Do you have more wood and stone? I am willing to exchange it for 'Simple Hut Blueprint*1.]
She initiated a new offer again.
However, Lin Feng did not rush to agree.
The fifty woods and fifty stones were not much. Anyone can get it if they work hard for a day.
But if it's more than this, many will suspect the origin of the items.
The mist world, after all, did not hide his identity; even if he claimed it was luck, people will believe it only a few more times.
Some might even outright reject this, asking for his secrets. Not everyone was a good person after all.
[Lin Feng: I don't have any right now. How about we trade tomorrow?]
He sent a message but did not hope too much.
He wasn't the only one with resources.
[Zhu Ruolan: I will think about it.]
That was it and no messages came after.
Lin Feng was disappointed; however, he did not feel too much, as the blueprint she offered was not rare.
Not to mention a hut can even be made without a blueprint; it's just that it will be shabby and take time to build.
"I should upgrade my house first," he thought to himself and brought up his territory panel.
[Territory Name: Qinghua Garden]
[Territory Core Level: 5]
[Core Durability: 5000/5000]
[Radius: 250 m]
[Buildings: Lord's House]
[Subjects: 0]
[Storage: Silver Grade Spirit Recovery Potion*1, Iron Grade Recruitment Order*1, 500 ml purified water bottle* 1, Instant Noodles*1, Copper Coins*10 and Roasted Rabbit Meat*20]
[Territory Upgrade Requirements: Wood*1000, Stone*1000, Monster Core*100, Iron*100, Copper Coins*1000]
There were no big changes.
It's just that wood, stone, and other items inside his system space were not displayed.
The storage of territory, after all, was limited. At level one it gave only ten slots that can stack up to a hundred.
At level five it was increased to fifty.
But even with this, it can't store all of the copied items.
So Lin Feng had to take out the required materials from system space before upgrading.
It was a trouble but a happy one.
[Lord's House Upgrade Requirements: Wood*50, Stone*50]
The house did not require as much territory.
There was no hesitation; Lin Feng tapped on the upgrade button consecutively.
[Lord's house has been upgraded to level 2.]
[Lord's house has been… level 3]
[Lord's house has been… level 4]
[Lord's house has been upgraded to level 5.]
After four prompts, Lin Feng had to stop. The reason was the same: he needed iron to upgrade further.
He could only scoff at the requirements and observe his upgraded house.
It was still a wooden house but its size and sturdiness had increased greatly.
There were also few rooms added, which were a study, a bedroom, and a washroom, along with some basic furnishings.
"At least I don't have to sleep on the ground," he muttered with some dissatisfaction, as the wooden bed did not provide any bedding.
But it was at least better than other lords.
He did not waste any time and laid down on the bed quietly scrolling through the lively chat.
There was no way he was still feeling exhausted and did not have any strength to explore his new territory area.
Not to mention it was almost night so he didn't even bother to think about it.
Compared to him, many lords were vigorous, especially the ones who thought of themselves as protagonists.
There were also many who thought the night was a great opportunity, as they could grind their levels.
Many, after all, had gotten their hands on bows and crossbows, so they were eager to try.
Lin Feng also wanted to do this but his arms hurt a lot after throwing so many axes, not to mention he was also exhausted and didn't have any long-range weapons.
So tonight he can only sleep while hoping everyone else encounters some difficulty.
Who knows if the mist world heard his wish or not but every lord who wanted to farm monsters while staying inside the novice protection shield became frustrated.
The reason was the attributes and intelligence of monsters seem to have increased at night.
They all avoided being near the protection shield if the lord inside held ranged weapons.
This left many lords with vexed feelings; however, they also sensed a crisis.
The novice protection shield, after all, will only last for seven days.
After which they will have to face these monsters.
Once again all chat channels were filled with various messages.
The first night of Mistworld was bound to be sleepless.
However, this has nothing to do with Lin Feng, who was dreaming of his harem feeding him personally and managing his territory.
…
The next morning Lin Feng woke up feeling refreshed.
He still felt like everything was a dream but waking up in the wooden house made him realize the truth.
"There are a lot of messages."
He muttered with surprise and finally knew the reason.
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't anxious.
But brooding over something he couldn't change was useless. All he could do was make sure he was strong enough.
"It's time to copy."
He did not waste any time and placed everything he could copy inside the system space.
[Ding! Detected 20 roasted rabbit meats in system space. Replicating… replication successful. Obtained Roasted Rabbit Meat*200,000]
[... Obtained Iron Grade Recruitment Order*10,000]
[... Obtained half bottle of purified water*10,000]
[... Obtained Instant Noodles*10,000]
[... Obtained Copper Coins*100,000]
Looking at the countless items in system space, Lin Feng felt confident.
