Every new day, just counting the surplus of magic cores I receive a day brings joy to my face.
Though, I'm beginning to feel like its a necessity to replace this magic cores for a more rarer commodity.
The best candidate currently are the mana crystals.. Hard to come by, easy to sell.

Mana Crystals
Price: 800 Gold Coins
Description: A cluster of rare, glowing crystals infused with magical energy. These crystals can amplify and stabilize magical abilities, allowing for more efficient use of mana.
Special Effect: Increases mana regeneration by 20% and amplify mana in the surrounding radius of 1*1m by 10%. (scales with amount.)
I should allocate some funds to snatch up every mana crystals that appeared on the market after today.
Taking out 475k magic cores, I left it on the market as exchange currency for mana crystals.
85 magic cores for 1 mana crystals.
After leaving it at that, I visited the lackluster battlefield.
It feels like camping.. They can't scale the walls, their arrows are easily defended and on the off chance it even hits, the force are too low to even pierce the armors.
As I was strolling along the walls, I saw Barn bringing a group of his researchers. (I don't know when he hired them but they're all clad in white.) Behind them were soldiers, pulling a cart load of barrels.
"Open the barrels and let the liquid down the walls, on their face! And a little bit of fire to warm up!"
Barn seems quite excited as he shouted it.
The contents in the barrel seems like oil? Tar? I don't know, it looks sticky in my eyes.
It slowly slid down the walls, and this isn't the only area, I saw a bunch of barrels being pulled around everywhere...
A minute later, a scene I never expected occurred... The walls went up in flames, battering rams couldn't come close, they can't set up ladders!
Oh man, this shits so cool!
I smiled to myself and went to meet Barn and his co.
"Long live your majesty!"
As soon as Barn saw me approaching, he kneeled, his fellows followed suit.
"Rise.. Let's visit the laboratory together."
Walking along with his group of researchers Barn doesn't look like a kid anymore.
It was only a month or two when he came looking for sponsorship.
Walking along this people with computers for brain for 6 whole hours is insane.... I never felt like this whenever I walked from my house to the walls... The journey was long, no doubt but atleast I still find the journey pleasant...
But not today, I don't understand a thing about what they're talking about.
We reached the laboratory and behold! A magnificent 3 storey building.
"Your majesty, this 3 storey is our cover, the real researches are done 8 floor beneath!"
Uh oh, someone's excited.
The interior are nearly designed, a cute twin girls sits on the registration.
What a pleasant surprise... We have beauties in our very own village.. I mean city.
I'll leave Barns be, I'm also busy you know.
After a bit of touring on the 3 floors, I didn't visit underground and instead headed back to my house.
After seeing that magnificently build laboratory, now I'm excited to get into my own castle.
My small house doesn't feel so grand anymore.
I walked back home and saw all my magic cores are sold out and now I have 5,588 mana crystals.
I should allocate my talent to mana crystals now.
