The two women took one look and exclaimed, "Whoa! So much Gold, Platinum, and Epic-grade equipment!"
Now that they were familiar with Lin Chen, they didn't bother with formalities.
They directly picked out gear suited to their roles and equipped it.
Jia Lou, being a knight, chose the Epic-grade Dragonstride Boots and Titan Shield.
Ina, as an archer, picked the Platinum-grade weapon Falling Star, plus the Gold-grade Windstep Boots and Eye of the Skeleton ring.
With this round of upgrades, both of their combat power significantly increased.
"Thank you, my Lord!" the two women said in unison.
Lin Chen waved them off. "It's getting late. Let's prepare dinner and rest early tonight."
Upon hearing that, Ina smacked her chest with a loud thump: "Leave it to me!"
With that, the two women ran off giggling.
Lin Chen, meanwhile, took out the last three chests.
[Random Blueprint Chest]
Description: Open to receive a random building blueprint.
Blueprints, like troops, required prerequisites before you could construct them.
No hesitation—he opened them all.
"You opened Random Blueprint Chest ×3 and received: [Residence], [Grand Warehouse], [Flowerbed]."
Not bad.
The Residence was a housing building—perfect for replacing basic houses.
The Grand Warehouse would be useful for storing large amounts of resources—
Otherwise, surplus resources would just be dumped all over, making a mess.
As for the Flowerbed, it was purely decorative. Boosted aesthetics, but not much function.
By now, the sun had already set. In another ten minutes, night would fall completely.
Time was running short, so Lin Chen decided to plan his territory carefully.
First, housing had to be addressed.
No way he was going to let two ladies camp out in the wilderness tonight.
That'd be unbecoming.
Before beginning construction, Lin Chen checked his territory's current resource reserves:
[Divine Realm]
Level: 5
Alliance: None
Subordinate Territories: None
Population: 1,500 / 50,000
Daily Subject Production: 500
Trainable Troops: Windrunner Archer
Wood: 7.145 million
Stone: 7.185 million
Iron: 7.115 million
Gold: 6.576 million
Food: 501,000
Upgrade Requirement: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×153,000
Over 7 million each of Wood, Stone, and Iron.
More than 6.5 million Gold.
Absolutely stacked!
If he dumped all of that into troop production, a few thousand troops wouldn't be a problem.
Of course, territory planning was just as important as building troops.
No time to waste—let's get started!
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×20,000. Constructing [Residence]."
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×20,000. Constructing [Residence]…"
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Three beams of light fell.
Lin Chen built three Residences beside the Lord Hall—
One each for himself, Ina, and Jia Lou.
Next, he moved on to the Grand Warehouses.
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×10,000. Constructing Grand Warehouse."
"Spent: Wood, Stone…"
He built two warehouses behind the Lord Hall.
Lastly—city walls.
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×400,000. Constructing 400 meters of wall."
Each meter of wall cost 1,000 of every resource type.
Lin Chen built a 100×100 meter square—totaling 400 meters.
Wall info was as follows:
[Wall]
Level: 1
Total Length: 400 meters
Specs: Height 2 meters, Width 0.3 meters
Durability: 100,000
Upgrade Cost: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×1,500/meter
Just the most basic wall—durability of only 100,000.
Looked decent, but honestly, not much.
"Gotta upgrade to a better wall sometime," Lin Chen thought.
Advanced walls, crafted from special blueprints, had far higher durability and defense—
Much better for protecting a territory.
In Era of Lords, territories had a three-day protection window during which no monster attacks could occur.
But after that, protection expired and monster raids became possible anytime.
Also, if you relocated, protection ended immediately.
That's why Lin Chen decided to build walls now.
He had the resources, and once he finished sweeping up all the treasures around Crescent Lake tomorrow, he'd be ready to move.
Building walls now was just smart planning.
Once the basic infrastructure was done, Lin Chen prepared to construct a Human Altar to train his Griffin Knight.
Current resources:
Wood: 6.665 million
Stone: 6.705 million
Iron: 6.635 million
Gold: 6.096 million
Food: 501,000
Still plenty left. Lin Chen did some quick calculations—
He decided to upgrade his territory to Level 10.
Then build a Level 10 Human Altar to support Griffin Knight training.
As for the Elf Altar, he'd leave it for now.
The Windrunner Archer, while a solid Tier 5 unit, still paled in comparison to the Griffin Knight.
So Lin Chen would prioritize all resources toward the Griffin Knight.
And upgrading to Level 10 would save Subject Refresh Cards—
A Level 10 Altar produced 1,000 subjects daily, double that of Level 5.
With the plan set—he got to work.
First—upgrade the Lord Hall.
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×153,000. Lord Hall upgraded to Level 6."
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×230,000. Lord Hall upgrading…"
One beam of light after another fell—
The Lord Hall quickly rose to Level 10.
Population cap: 150,000.
Then, Lin Chen began constructing the Human Altar.
He placed it in the southwest corner of the territory—
Symmetrical with the Elf Altar in the northeast.
"You have constructed a Human Altar."
Whoosh! A golden beam fell—
A brand-new Altar appeared before him.
At its top stood a statue of a human figure holding a symbolizing wisdom and knowledge.
Next—upgrades.
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×20,000. Human Altar upgrading."
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold ×30,000. Human Altar upgrading."
"Spent: Wood, Stone, Iron, Gold…"
Beams of light rained down.
The Human Altar's level skyrocketed—
Stopping only once it reached Level 10.
