A Small Step, A Giant Leap!

[Ding! Steelmaking Plant upgraded to Tier 3!]

[Ding! Steel Furnace upgraded to Tier 3!]

[Ding! Iron Ore upgraded to Tier 3!]

[Ding! Warehouse upgraded to Tier 3!]

After a string of notifications. www.520guanwang

Huang Yu had upgraded all the ordinary buildings in his territory to Tier 3.

Among the ordinary buildings, only the Steelmaking Plant required more resources.

The resources consumed by other buildings were a drop in the bucket for Huang Yu.

After finishing these tasks.

It was already close to noon.

Huang Yu finally had time to check the world channel.

[It's been three days! I finally leveled up, sob sob sob!]

[Hahaha, I farmed all night yesterday and got over 2000 Soul Crystals, it felt so awesome!]

[Envious, I only got 1200 Soul Crystals last night. This morning, I bought 30 warriors from the Huanyu Mall, and now I have nothing left...]

[Stop being humble upstairs, you should be happy you managed to grab something from the Huanyu Mall. So many people want to buy but can't!]

[Yeah, you should be grateful you got anything!]

I finally have enough Soul Crystals to buy a troop building, haha... When did the Great Huanyu boss's Xiu Lan Barracks get bought out!!!

[You were too slow. The Huanyu Mall was emptied early on. Now there are only two Perfect Grade items left!]

When will the Huanyu big shots put up more equipment? Compared to the Chaos Mall, the Huanyu Mall's prices are practically a bargain!

After the Beast Tide last night.

The lords were all like they were celebrating the New Year.

Everyone had a bountiful harvest.

Their words were filled with joy.

Even the trolls had decreased significantly.

The situation was as Huang Yu had predicted.

Many lords now had a large amount of Soul Crystals in their hands.

The Huanyu Mall's goods were still very popular.

The butler, along with the servants and the cook, went to prepare lunch.

Huang Yu took advantage of this free time to browse the world channel messages.

It felt like reading the newspaper and browsing a group chat before a meal.

Although he rarely participated in anything, whether on Blue Star or the Chaotic Continent.

He still enjoyed this atmosphere.

As the topic shifted.

The lords on the world channel started discussing the Huanyu Mall again.

[If only the price of Perfect Grade items could be a little lower...]

[No choice, you get what you pay for. Last time I bought a Red-armored Crocodile Egg from the Huanyu Mall, the pet that hatched, though only Fine Grade, has helped me clear out most of the monsters near my territory!]

[Is it that strong? Then if a Perfect Grade Flame Sparrow hatches, won't it be incredibly powerful?]

[At the very least, it'll be able to take you flying, haha...]

[I wonder what level the Huanyu lord has reached now... Earlier, a lord mentioned that reaching Tier 2 requires an Awakening Medium. I wonder what that's all about?]

[Has anyone broken through to Tier 2 lord? Come out and share your experience!]

[Yeah, I really want to know how much the Awakening Medium affects talent!]

[The only one likely to have broken through to Tier 2 now is the Huanyu lord, right?]

[Indeed. Being able to put the Heart of the Thunder Spirit up for sale clearly means he doesn't need it anymore.]

[There must be many lords eyeing the Heart of the Thunder Spirit right now!]

[Thunder-element talents should also be very strong. After all, in many games and web novels on Blue Star, thunder elements are usually very powerful, not to mention the high grade...]

[Since he can even offer Perfect Grade materials, what grade will the Awakening Medium used by the Huanyu lord for his Tier 2 promotion be?]

"Perfect Grade? Epic Grade? Are there lords who can access such high-grade goods at this stage?"

"It's hard to say..."

Seeing the lords' messages.

Huang Yu was momentarily speechless.

Although many people believed he had already advanced to Tier 2.

The reality was that he hadn't even found a suitable advancement medium...

Hearing that many people were on the verge of advancing to Tier 2.

Considering that some lords didn't have high requirements for Awakening Mediums.

There might already be Tier 2 human lords!

A sense of pressure arose within him.

"Everything is worth it!"

"The current wait is just for better talent abilities!"

"The territory has 100 Spartan Warriors, it doesn't lack my combat power!"

"Moreover, there's a three-day protection period, so my safety won't be an issue."

No need to rush the advancement!

Huang Yu comforted himself a few times, then exited the world channel.

The butler had already brought the servants to place the prepared lunch before him.

Compared to the previous few days, today's lunch was quite lavish.

A portion of beast steak.

A pot of braised Horned Sheep lamb.

A plate of stir-fried wild gourds with meat.

A plate of stir-fried wild vegetables.

A basket of white flour bread.

Although the Horned Sheep hadn't grown to full size, the food-loving Huang Yu had no patience to wait.

Wild gourds have a seven-day maturity period.

Mature wild gourds are as large as basketballs.

Although the prematurely harvested wild gourds were only fist-sized.

They were still edible.

As for the wild vegetables, they were contributed by ordinary territory inhabitants.

Piecing it all together, this table of dishes was presented before Huang Yu.

Although there seemed to be a lot, for Huang Yu, finishing it all was no problem.

As his level increased.

His physical fitness grew stronger.

His need for food also increased!

This phenomenon wasn't unique to him.

The Spartan Warriors were the same.

Each of them ate several times more than an ordinary territory inhabitant!

After finishing the most satisfying meal since his arrival.

Huang Yu rushed to the Magic Pattern Research Institute.

Because while he was eating.

The system had prompted that the Magic Pattern Research Institute had produced two more Expert Level Blacksmiths.

And three Apprentice Level Magic Pattern Construct Masters!

"My lord, you're here!"

As soon as he walked through the entrance of the Magic Pattern Research Institute.

Huang Yu saw Baili and two others walking together.

"Have you eaten?"

Using Blue Star's characteristic greeting, Huang Yu stepped forward with a look of pleasant surprise and asked:

"You've obtained the sub-profession of Magic Pattern Construct Master?"

"We haven't disappointed your expectations, my lord!"

Baili and the other two grinned, saying to Huang Yu:

"With the Mountain Monster provided by you as a blueprint, we've found some promising leads!"

"We can start developing Magic Pattern Constructs soon!"

"Good!"

Huang Yu nodded in satisfaction, affirming:

"The small step you've taken now will be a giant leap in the development history of the Huanyu Magic Pattern Research Institute!"

The fact that the three of them could become Magic Pattern Construct Masters so quickly also proved that the path of Magic Pattern Constructs was viable!

It was like he had been given a reassurance.

Hearing Huang Yu's words, the three of them looked somewhat excited.

As if they could already see the glory of that giant leap.

Seeing their slightly haggard expressions, Huang Yu said with concern:

"It's good to have pressure, but don't push yourselves too hard. You should still pay attention to rest."

"You are all the future of the Huanyu Territory!"

"Your health is just as important as your research!"

Hearing Huang Yu's words, Baili and the other two were deeply moved.

To have a lord who unconditionally supported their research and cared about their well-being.

They could only give their all and dedicate themselves.

To repay this recognition and trust!

After encouraging the three of them a few more times, Huang Yu walked into the area that was formerly the Blue Mountain Workshop.

As soon as he entered, he saw a large number of semi-finished equipment.

And the two newly emerged Expert Level Blacksmiths.
