‘So, their castles are still at level 1.

‘This game is getting more and more interesting.’

Xu Hang grinned and accessed the map. The yellow dot represented his castle. He checked his buildings’ attributes.

[ Level 3 Castle: Unnamed ]

[ Level Up Requirements: Grain x1000, wood x1200, stone x1000, gold nugget x1000, earth crystal x100 ]

[ Normal Building: Farmhouse, warehouse, gold-mining building ]

[ Special Building: None ]

[ Castle Skill: Sturdy (the castle is invincible for 20 minutes). Cooldown time: 24 hours ]

..

“No name?”

“Then I’ll name it Sky City.”

“As for this warehouse…”

The wolf meat, wolf teeth, wolf skin, and other resources that Hill had obtained earlier were all automatically stored in the warehouse. 

“This warehouse is so convenient. However, the castle’s skill seemed to be of little use!”

“20 minutes of invincibility? That’s just a forced life extension.”

However, after the castle was upgraded, some new buildings were unlocked.

Previously, there were only basic buildings such as the gold-mining building, logging fields, orefield, and barracks. Now, there were new types of farmhouses that could accommodate up to 15 farmers.

There were also alchemy rooms that could refine all kinds of minerals, reactors that could refine all kinds of energy, and assorted machinery that could produce all kinds of simple machines.

“A machinery that could produce all kinds of simple machines?!”

Xu Hang took a deep breath. His eyes were shining as he stared at the building on the system’s page.

‘The farmers’ productivity is off the charts now. Additionally, if I build a machinery building, it would decrease the manpower required. Isn’t this overkill?!

‘For now, I’ll focus on productivity! I’ll worry about fortresses, armories, iron fences, and other defensive facilities later. After all, there are still ten more days before the beasts’ attack. As long as I’m able to obtain the resources, everything else will follow suit!’

It was hard for Xu Hanf to suppress his excitement. 

[ Do you want to use 600 grains, 600 wood, 600 stones, and 200 gold nuggets to build a machinery building? ]

[ Yes ][ No ]

Without any hesitation, Xu Hang clicked on [ Yes ].

Hill and three other farmers immediately began to construct the mechanical building. It was not long before the building was done and Hill successfully leveled up to level 8, while the other farmers leveled up to level 7.

“They level up so quickly!”

A thought crossed Xu Hang’s mind and he frowned. 

According to the pictures posted in the world chat channel, there’s a limit to the summoned laborer’s levels. For example, (3/10). The number at the front was the current level and the number at the back was the maximum level.

Xu Hang looked around, but there were no signs of the level limit for his farmers.

“Forget it, I’m not going to worry about that now. I’ll just level them as high as I possibly can!”

With a smile, Xu Hang closed the world chat channel and looked at the newly built mechanical building. It was located next to the level 4 farmhouse and had a square-shaped chimney protruding from the roof. There was also a simple round window.

Xu Hang entered the mechanical building. A large piece of mechanical equipment was operating in the middle of the room. He could also hear the sound of the gears turning. 

Suddenly, a “Wuuuuu” sound could be heard.

A large amount of white steam was emitted and it flowed out through the chimney.

“How amazing!”

Xu Hang’s eyes were filled with joy. The machine would be of great use.

Next to the machinery equipment was a workbench. There was also a square-shaped armchair. Xu Hang walked towards the armchair and sat on it. 

A display screen then popped out. There were many mechanical options on it. Basically, it was what the large machinery equipment could produce. Various tools were available.

“There are some undeveloped forests near the castle. Once the farmers clear those areas, I can start building my city.”

“It’s a pity that I don’t have a mode of transportation. My legs can only take me so far. Furthermore, it’s really dangerous to wander away from the castle!”

“A mode of transportation is necessary!”

Xu Hang searched the screen for a while and came across a relevant tab.

When he clicked on it, a picture of a car was displayed.

It was very simple. Four wheels were needed to be combined with an iron shell. However, it would not be easy to make.

[ Magic four-wheeled car. It’s powered by magic crystals. The maximum speed is 60 m/h. A necessary artifact for traveling. ]

[ Production Requirements: 1000 grains, 1200 wood, 1200 iron or 500 gold nuggets, 2 magic crystals. ]

“What the hell is a magic crystal?”

Xu Hang was confused but the system quickly provided the answer.

[ Magic Crystal: A crystal that contains powerful magic energy. There is a chance to obtain it by defeating high-level beasts. ]

“I have to defeat a high-level beast?!”

Xu Hang was slightly disappointed. 

There would definitely be high-level beasts in the upcoming attack in ten days. However, he was very impatient.

Ten days would be too long. He needed a method of transportation so he could develop his territory. 

After thinking for a while, Xu Hang commanded the farmer who was digging the gold mine to stop working. He already had a sufficient amount of gold nuggets at the moment. 

The farmer had already risen to level 9 and was one of the best among the ten farmers. His combat strength had already exceeded 100!

“Take a weapon and set off to look for high-level beasts!”

The farmer obliged. He carried a woodcutter and headed deep into the forest.

Xu Hang opened the map. The light red dot representing the level 9 farmer was moving steadily.

An hour later, the farmer arrived at a cave. The cave was so dark that it looked endless.

The farmer gripped the woodcutter tightly in his hand and strode in.

All of a sudden, two scarlet red dots lit up.

“Huuuuu…”

It was the sound of heavy breathing accompanied by saliva dripping.

The beasts had woken up!
