Now, Zaiden has a total of 430 units of food and 10 magic stones in his possession.
Thus he decided to sell some of the food in exchange for wood and stones. So that he could upgrade his castle as quickly as possible.
Zaiden opened up the [ World Chat ] and shook his head on seeing too much crap. They were just talking nonsense. And Zaiden had no time to even take a look at it.
So he switched to the [ Trade Centre ] and put up 130 units of food in exchange for wood and stone.
[ Trade : 130 units of food ]
[ Exchange Value : 3 units of food for 1 magic stone ]
[ Alternative : 1 unit of food for 10 units of wood and 5 units of stone ]
After initiating a trade request, Zaiden went back to what he was doing. Actually, he wasn't doing anything.
While he was passing time, his trade request has caused a huge commotion on the [ World Chat ].
~
[ What!? Someone just put up 130 units of food for trade. ]
[ Its only been thirty minutes since we arrived in this world. How did he even kill so many monsters!? ]
[ He must have a top-tier military. ]
[ Huh? But why is the trade panel empty? ]
[ This dumbass above. Why is it empty? Obviously because they were bought by others. ]
[ I was just a second late in clicking and BOMB! It's gone. ]
[ Damn! They all have insane hand speeds. How can someone's hand be so fast!? ]
[ Maybe, they activated a auto-clicker. ]
[ Auto-Clicker . . .ON!! ]
[ Nah. They were all single since birth. Its understandable. ]
[ Yeah, you are exactly on the spot. ]
[ But did someone notice that the name of the trade initiator was hidden? ]
[ Noway! Do we have such a function? ]
[ Not that I know of. ]
[ Just a glitch maybe? ]
[ Does the above one had some screw lose!? This strange thing has the power to bring all of here. So how can it have a f***king glitch! ]
[ Yeah, you are right. It might just be a function we don't know of for now. ]
[ Maybe, he got a top-tier military unit such as shadows or assassins. ]
[ ... ]

At the same time, a series of notifications rang out which caught Zaiden's attention.
[ Lost 1 unit of food. Received 10 units of wood and 5 units of stone. ]
[ Lost 1 unit of food. Received 10 units of wood and 5 units of stone. ]
[ Lost 1 unit of food. Received. . . . ]
All in all, Zaiden gained 1300 units of wood and 650 units of stone. He was half way done collecting the resources required to upgrade the castle.
It wouldn't be long before he was done collecting. Zaiden estimated that he could easily upgrade it within an hour at most.
Time passed by. After half an hour, the infantry returned back with a lot of corpses. They even collected another 11 magic stones.
Now, in total, Zaiden has 21 magic stones. Which was still too far from the requirements to upgrade the military structure. He even didn't knew what a magic crystal was.
So he could only wait for now.
From this batch of corpses, Zaiden earned enough food to trade for wood and stone.
Now, he has 2300 units of wood and 1150 units of stone in his warehouse. So he could upgrade the castle with ease.
Thus, he went towards the castle and brought it's interface.
[ (Unnamed) ]
[ Castle Level : Basic Castle ]
[ Upgrade Requirements : 2000 units of wood and 1000 units of stone ]
[ Basic Buildings : Warehouse ]
[ Military Buildings : Eternal Bible (Unique) ]
[ Next Upgrade : Intermediate Castle ]
Just as Zaiden was about to upgrade, his eyes fell on the (Unnamed) section.
"Looks like I must name my castle first. Then, it should be."
After a few moments, Zaiden came up with a name.
"Eternal Castle"
[ Do you want to upgrade your castle. ]
"Upgrade."
This time, Zaiden choose to upgrade without any hesitation.
In the next moment, a golden light covered the entire castle. The castle slowly started its transformation.
Before long, the golden light faded away and the new castle appeared.
The new castle was more simple and better than before. Although it wasn't majestic and luxurious, it was clean and good looking.
Even the furnitures were new and comfortable.
At the same time, Angelica and Irene rushed out with surprised expression. They weren't shocked because they could access the [ World Chat ] as well.
Thus, they had an overview of what was happening. Also they were smart and quick-witted.
So they didn't find it difficult to join the dots.
Looking at Zaiden, who was thinking something, Angelica and Irene choose to ignore him and went in to check the new castle.
Zaiden, at the same time, called up the interface of the upgraded castle.
[ Eternal Castle ]
[ Castle Level : Intermediate Castle ]
[ Upgrade Requirements : 20000 units of wood and 10000 units of stone ]
[ Basic Buildings : Warehouse ]
[ Military Buildings : Eternal Bible (Unique) ]
[ Special Buildings : Barracks ]
[ Territory : 300 meters ]
[ Next Upgrade : Advanced Castle ]
There were many new functions that appeared. In fact, there were a total of two.
One was the barracks.
It was the home of all the summoned military units. Although the building looked small from the outside.
It was huge in the inside. It felt like spacial arrays were used to achieve this effect.
The second was the territory function.
It showed that his territory was 300 meters. Thus, if any intruder barged in the 300 meter radius zone, the military units would take action on their own.
"Hmm. Both are the best and most useful functions. Now, my tasks are reduced by a huge margin."
Since, he didn't have to worry about the housing of the infantry. Zaiden went back to the castle to rest.
He also called the infantry back to take a rest and continue their work later.
