Chapter 38: Making a Fortune!

Very soon, she received Mike’s reply.

After exchanging a few words, the little loli immediately put up 60% of the resources she had obtained in the [space exchange] . She designated Mike as the person to be traded for one unit of food.

“There’s still high-tier equipment left to be auctioned!”

The little loli looked at the trade area again.

Below the high-level equipment, the crazy increase in refined iron values caused the little loli to squint her eyes.

…

Dragon King Castle.

[You have lost one unit of food. You have harvested 113,000 units of wood and 69,000 units of stones.]

Mike took a deep breath.

This could really be considered a huge harvest!

He had only paid for some monster materials, but he had harvested a huge amount of castle upgrade materials.

It was a huge profit!

As expected, the equipment was the most profitable!

In terms of standard equipment, he and the little loli had a monopoly over the entire industry.

That was because only with the construction of the [smithy ] could they forge equipment.

Before the blueprints of the smithy flooded the market, he and little loli could continue to earn money.

…

Mike glanced at the trade area.

The equipment that the little loli had put on the shelves was quickly sold out.

On the other hand, the food on the shelves was selling very slowly.

The reason was very simple. Currently, there were too many Castle Lords selling food. Secondly, the number of Castle Lords that needed food was rapidly decreasing.

Of course.

Food was a daily necessity.

No matter what time it was, it would never go out of style.

As long as it was put up, people would buy it.

Compared to other castle lords who sold food, Mike’s food was the best seller due to its popularity.

Many Castle Lords’ foods were hung up for an entire day without being sold, but Mike’s food was already sold out.

“Including the food sold.”

“A total of 21,000 units of wood and 16,000 units of stones were harvested.”

“Together with the wood and stones that were originally stored in the castle’s warehouse…”

“A total of 273,630 units of wood and 149,500 units of stones are harvested now!”

“I’ve really struck it rich overnight!”

Mike was all smiles.

There was no doubt that he was definitely the richest among the billions of Castle Lords.

“Upgrading the Dragon King Castle to the Dragon King Town only requires 100,000 units of wood, 50,000 units of stones, and 10,000 units of fine iron.”

“In terms of wood and stones.”

“The resources I have in reserve have far exceeded the requirements for upgrading.”

“Now, I’m just waiting for the fine iron to be in my hands.”

Mike looked at the castle’s warehouse.

Including the 5,000 units of fine iron that the little loli had previously traded to him, his current stock of fine iron was 6,620 units.

In other words…

With another 3,380 units of fine iron, the Dragon King Castle could be upgraded immediately.

If the quantity of refined iron reached 15,000 units, he could build it together with the advanced building [Holy Dragon Palace].

With the Holy Dragon Palace.

The attack and defense of the dragons under him would increase by 10% .

This was very powerful!

In the future, when his dragon battle team ‘evolved’ into the dragon Legion, the effect of this halo would be even more terrifying.

The larger the dragon battle team was, the more obvious the use of the Holy Dragon Palace would be.

It was a god-grade building in the middle and late stages!

Even if it was a god-grade weapon, its practical value could not compare to the Holy Dragon Palace.

…

“This is high-level equipment!”

“Top-tier Castle Lords, how can we not be crazy?”

Mike looked at the heated trading area.

In total, the Little Loli had ten sets of high-tier equipment.

The value of fine iron under each set of equipment was rapidly increasing.

Almost every two seconds, the value would jump up.

This meant that many castle lords were bidding for these high-tier equipment.

When Mike announced that he was going to auction high-tier equipment, those top-tier castle lords who coveted high-tier equipment were frantically buying fine iron, wanting to bid for high-tier equipment to increase their strength.

The castle’s protective barrier was about to disappear.

The Beast Tide event could arrive at any time.

The Castle Lords who cherished their lives did not wish to die in the Beast Tide.

High-level equipment could greatly protect their safety,

although the top-tier Castle Lords understood that this was ‘funding’ the goal they wanted to surpass and continue to widen the gap between them and Mike, they could only grit their teeth and bid.

After all, high-tier equipment was related to their lives and even the score of the Beast Tide event.

Moreover, the number of high-tier equipment was so small.

There were only ten sets.

If you did not buy them, others would buy them.

If others snatched them, they would have an advantage.

At that time, not to mention surpassing Mike, even top-tier Castle Lords of the same level would not be able to defeat him.

How was he going to compete for hegemony?

As the old saying goes, always be one step ahead.

In the early stages, he was lagging behind others. If he wanted to catch up, the difficulty would increase exponentially.

“The crazier I am, the more I earn!”

Mike counted the amount of refined iron below the ten sets of high-tiered equipment.

If nothing went wrong.

Before 6 am tomorrow morning, he could not only upgrade the castle into a town, but he could also build the [Holy Dragon Palace].

After that, he could go all out to deal with the Beast Tide.

The only reward for being number one…

Was his goal!

…

As time passed…

The Castle Lords who lacked financial resources gradually withdrew from the high-level equipment auction.

The rate of the refined iron value increasing decreased.

But it still did not stop.

Just as Mike had expected, those top castle lords were really crazy to obtain high-level equipment.

At this stage, refined iron was still very precious.

It required a very high price to purchase.

However, in order to obtain high-tier equipment, the top-tier castle lords did not hesitate to spend a large amount of resources, such as wood, stones, and food.

This also directly affected their castle’s leveling speed.

If they wanted to catch up to Mike, it would be impossible to do so.

However, they had no choice. High-tier equipment was too attractive. They could only grit their teeth and fight it out.

‘As long as I can obtain high-tier equipment, my safety will be guaranteed!’

‘The top-tier troops under my command are extremely strong. They can definitely resist the beast tide. However, I’m too weak myself. I’m only tier 4. If I die in the Beast Tide, I’ll suffer a huge loss! I need high-tier equipment to protect myself!’

‘With high-tier equipment, I can obtain even higher scores in the Beast Tide!’

‘High-tier equipment is mine, and the only reward is mine!’

‘There is no reward for upgrading the castle, and there is no increase in attributes. It can be delayed, but high-tier equipment must be available!’

‘High-tier equipment, no one is allowed to compete with me!’

These were the thoughts of many top-tier Castle Lords.

It was also the direct reason why they were crazily bidding!

So far.

Ten sets of high-tiered equipment, each set of equipment bidding had already exceeded 1,000 units of fine iron.
