Second Blessing, The Orange Token Is Actually

Constructs are powerful magical units.

The earliest constructs were made of clay and powered by ancient magic crystals.

Later, metal constructs appeared.

After we Guardian Spirits appeared, Guardian Spirit constructs were also born.

Before I merged with the cursed remnant page.

I also heard that humans were researching constructs for Archmage powerhouses.

Inside the Lord's Hall.

The Earthbound Spirit recounted all its knowledge about constructs.

"Constructs, you say?"

"Then what's the use of this energy core?"

Fang Yuan inquired.

The Earthbound Spirit shook its head.

"I'm not sure, but generally, construct energy cores are made from ancient magic crystals with extremely high energy."

"If the Lord obtains it, and dispels the magic patterns on the energy core."

"The ancient magic crystal alone is of immense value."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"Makes sense."

He then looked at the Earthbound Spirit.

"I hope you're not mistaken."

"Otherwise!"

"You'll regret it!"

Fang Yuan immediately agreed to the exchange.

Soon.

"Ding, transaction successful, you have obtained Rags of Black Stone*1, Purple Barracks Building Card*1."

With the items in hand, Fang Yuan took out the exchanged energy core and said.

"It looks dark and heavy."

"If one didn't know better, they wouldn't recognize this as a construct core."

"So the question is, how do I dispel the magic patterns on it?"

Fang Yuan looked at the Earthbound Spirit.

"Lord, I am merely a lower-tier being."

"Lilith should know."

Fang Yuan nodded.

"That makes sense."

"Let's wait for Lilith to return."

"For now, let's upgrade the Main City first."

Fang Yuan quickly used the building card he just obtained.

He then constructed a Barbarian Axe Thrower Camp to the north of the Main City.

"Ding, Purple Building constructed successfully, Prosperity +500."

Fang Yuan then quickly clicked to upgrade it twice.

This added another 1000 points to Prosperity.

"Prosperity has reached 10800 points."

"The Prosperity requirement for a Level Four Main City has been met."

Fang Yuan looked at the Main City upgrade option.

He clicked upgrade without hesitation.

"Ding, upgrade successful, your Main City has reached Level Four, Prosperity +100."

"Finally, a Level 4 territory."

Fang Yuan looked at his Main City panel.

A hint of joy welled up in his heart.

Generally, reaching Level 4 territory meant a Lord had graduated from being a novice.

They possessed a degree of self-preservation ability on the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

Level 4 was also the highest territory level many Lords could achieve during the novice period.

This was because further upgrades required resources and time that were not obtainable during the novice phase.

The most obvious one was Prosperity.

Upgrading from Level 4 to Level 5 required a full 30,000 Prosperity points.

For many Lords, this requirement alone would take three to four years to complete.

In contrast, the 100,000 in resources was not a significant issue.

And the third requirement for upgrading at this stage.

A White Resource Territory, was an almost impossible task for Lords who did not join an alliance.

This was because Resource Territories were controlled by alliances.

Fortunately, this was not a problem for Fang Yuan.

He already possessed a Purple Resource Territory.

The only thing truly limiting his upgrade now was the 30,000 Prosperity points.

"The six buildings within the territory plus one resource territory."

"This small number of buildings is not enough to meet the Prosperity required for the upgrade."

"To continue upgrading the Main City, I need more buildings of higher quality."

"The total number of building slots is 25, and I've only used 6."

"If all current buildings are upgraded by one level, it will only provide 3,200 Prosperity."

"The deficit is nearly twenty thousand."

"I have 19 building slots remaining."

"This means each of the remaining buildings must provide over 1,000 Prosperity points."

"Only then can I gather the 30,000 Prosperity points needed for the upgrade."

"This also implies that all 19 remaining buildings must be Red or higher."

"If I consider future development and need to reserve some building slots, the quality requirement for the remaining buildings will be even higher."

"All Purple, or even including Orange buildings!"

Fang Yuan gasped as he thought about this.

"So many high-tier buildings."

"Where am I supposed to find them!"

"Damn it, do I have to join an alliance?"

Alliances had Guild Hall buildings, and constructing some less useful Guild Hall buildings could also increase Prosperity.

However, the production of building cards for these Guild Hall buildings was limited.

Construction often had to be done in turns.

The time required would not be short.

Moreover!

Fang Yuan's current predicament wasn't just that!

Fang Yuan looked at the warehouse within the Main City.

"Resources and gold are also running low."

"Previously, by selling items and through achievement rewards, I received several batches of resources and gold in the hundred thousands."

"Now, with the continuous upgrades, especially the upgrades for the purple buildings, the consumption is extraordinarily high."

"And then there's the construction of soldiers, etc."

"Resources have long been almost depleted."

"The resources I have now are not enough to support upgrading all buildings to level four."

"It's only enough to maintain the daily consumption of soldiers and heroes."

"If there are no further income streams, the soldiers under my command will rebel."

"I need to expand my sources of income as soon as possible."

As Fang Yuan pondered.

A notification sound reached his ears.

"Ding, resource territory output successful, Gold +100,000, Resources +100,000, Tier 1 Purple Mobilization Order +30."

This was the output from Stone Spring Village's resource territory.

Hearing the notification sound, Fang Yuan's expression brightened slightly.

"This solves the immediate crisis."

"But it's only a temporary fix."

"These resources are produced once a day."

"Purple buildings and resource territory upgrades both require them."

"And I still need to go to the Golden Flower Family's territory and continue producing soldiers."

"A mere hundred thousand resources and gold isn't even enough to whet my appetite."

"If only I could conjure up gold and resources from somewhere."

Just as Fang Yuan was worrying in his heart.

Another notification sound reached his ears.

"Ding, your talent Blessing refresh count has been updated!"

It was then that Fang Yuan suddenly realized.

He had already spent the first day in the Ten Thousand Realms Battlefield.

He looked outside the Main City; the weather was still a hazy gray.

There were no brilliant rays of sunlight.

He murmured, "Too many things happened on the first day."

"No sun, no day or night, without looking at the Lord's Mark for the time, I wouldn't have known only one day had passed."

"I thought a long time had passed."

However, "Time moving slowly isn't necessarily bad."

"At least I still have six days!"

"After six days, the novice period will end."

"This can be considered good news."

"But I can't get too happy too soon. The thirty thousand prosperity points needed for the upgrade are too many, and it can't be completed in a short time. I actually don't have much time, so I need to hurry. Let's see if this Blessing refresh will bring any surprises." Fang Yuan opened his Blessing talent.

He took a deep breath.

"Luck cannot save the unlucky, nor can spending change one's fate!"

"Blessing!"

The light rotated.

The next second.

"Ding, Blessing successful, obtained Orange token Dragon Blood."
