Upgrading the Barracks: Supreme Protocol!

Su Ye ignored the Combat Power Gift Pack lying in his Private Storage Space and instead looked at his reflection in the Chaos Spring Eye. His face was pale, his eyes lifeless, as if he had been completely drained.

"I have been harmed by wine and women, reduced to such a haggard state. From today onward, I quit drinking!!" Su Ye stared at his reflection in the water, silently hardening his resolve.

He gulped down several mouthfuls of Chaos Spring Water, feeling his withered body come alive again.

"Feels good." Su Ye exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling every cell in his body cheering with delight.

"System, open the Combat Power Gift Pack," Su Ye said in a low voice.

[Ding: You obtained Gold Coin x1000, Origin Crystal x100, Troop Refresh Recruitment Card x1, Barracks Upgrade Card x1]

"Damn, this thing can drop too?" Su Ye looked at the Barracks Upgrade Card he had obtained. It was equivalent to upgrading a Barracks once for free.

For ordinary lords, it was nothing special, since upgrading their Barracks did not require many special materials. But for Barracks at the Saint Realm level and above, it was extremely precious.

Su Ye looked at his Barracks Upgrade Card and put it away for now. He had four Barracks under his command, and he had yet to decide which one to upgrade.

As for the Troop Refresh Recruitment Card, the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary was currently the only level-three Barracks. Using it there would definitely be the most worthwhile choice.

"This is getting a little troublesome." Su Ye looked over his territory. He already had more than two hundred Fallen Angels under his command, while the others only numbered a few dozen.

The gap between them was simply too large. Things were becoming rather unbalanced.

"Wait for now. The day has only just begun. There's still time." Su Ye thought about it and decided there was no need to rush.

With that in mind, Su Ye opened his private friend messages to see whether the Little Merchant had sent anything.

Sure enough, there was a message, sent at eleven o'clock last night. He had still been celebrating then and had not heard the notification for the private message.

[Little Merchant: Boss, I found the Technology Seed you wanted. The price is ten thousand Gold Coins. Reply if you want it, heart you/JPG]

"Technology Seed." Su Ye looked at the message from the Little Merchant.

[Otherworld Traveler: You there?]

[Little Merchant: I'm here, I'm here, boss.]

[Otherworld Traveler: I'll take the Technology Seed. Let's trade now.]

[Little Merchant: Alright, boss. I've already sent the trade request. Please accept it.]

Su Ye looked at the trade request that popped up and accepted it directly.

A Technology Seed floated before Su Ye.

"Perfect. Today's recruitment hasn't started yet." Su Ye looked toward his four major Barracks and began the day's recruitment.

The first place he went was still the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary, since it was his first Barracks.

Lilith and Istar were already waiting there. As the Hero Units of the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary, they would naturally be present during recruitment.

"Let's go." Su Ye spoke to Lilith and Istar, then led them straight into the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary.

[Ding: Consume 30 Gold Coins for daily recruitment?]

"Recruit." Su Ye looked expectantly at the Fallen Angel Statue before him.

Amid the surging endless black mist, tall figures appeared one after another within it.

Thirty figures gathered in the black mist.

"We pay our respects to the God Emperor." The thirty figures knelt on one knee in unison, their eyes filled with Fanaticism as they looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye looked at the clearly divided Fallen Angel troops. One group was Original Sin Fallen Angels, while the other was Pureblood Fallen Angels.

"Rise. Lilith, Istar, I'll leave them to you." Su Ye spoke to Lilith and Istar.

"Understood, Lord God Emperor." Lilith accepted with a smile.

Istar nodded as well.

Su Ye left the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary and headed toward the Origin Dragon Nest. Why not the Supreme Protocol? Well, the Supreme Protocol stood to the right of Su Ye's Lord Manor.

The Fallen Heaven Sanctuary was on the left, with the Origin Dragon Nest beside it. Naturally, he recruited from the Origin Dragon Nest first based on proximity.

"Looks like I'll need to rearrange the positions of the Barracks." Su Ye looked at the locations of his four Barracks. He would recruit first today, then rearrange them later according to the order in which they appeared.

"Good morning, Pangilia. How did you sleep last night?" Su Ye asked Pangilia, who had been waiting for his arrival.

"Lord God King, everything was well." Pangilia opened her dragon eyes, her brilliant golden pupils looking at Su Ye.

Su Ye nodded and entered the Origin Dragon Nest.

[Ding: Consume 20 Gold Coins for daily recruitment?]

"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the Dragon Statue and spoke in a deep voice.

Black-gold light rose, and young Dragons appeared one after another within it.

They were somewhat restless and lively. Compared to the other troops in Su Ye's territory, these young Black Gold Dragons were the most energetic and mischievous.

At the end of the day, they were still young Dragons—children.

As the light faded, twenty Primordial Black Gold Dragons lay on the ground, their bodies trembling slightly under the bloodline suppression of Pangilia, a Hero Unit Dragon.

"Pangilia, I'll leave them to you." Su Ye smiled at Pangilia.

"As you wish, God King." Pangilia's voice rang out as she let out a low roar at the newly recruited Primordial Black Gold Dragons.

These newly recruited little troublemakers obediently followed Pangilia out of the Origin Dragon Nest, though each of them still looked around restlessly.

Su Ye did not mind. Being lively was good; it added a bit more life to his territory.

Afterward, Su Ye arrived at the Supreme Protocol.

Thalys had already been waiting there for quite some time.

"Emperor." Thalys looked at Su Ye with absolute devotion in her eyes.

Su Ye nodded. "Not yet, Thalys."

Thalys stood expressionlessly beside Su Ye. Whatever Su Ye said, she would do.

Su Ye looked at the futuristic building before him.

[Ding: Consume Origin Crystal x1000, Technology Seed x1, Gold Coin x1W to upgrade the Supreme Protocol!!]

"Upgrade!" Su Ye looked at the Supreme Protocol before him, anticipation flickering in his eyes.

The Fallen Heaven Sanctuary had unlocked its Halo upon reaching level three. What Halo would the Supreme Protocol unlock at level three?

[Ding: Your Barracks, Supreme Protocol, has been upgraded. Current level: 3. You may view its specific attributes yourself!!]

Su Ye looked at the Supreme Protocol building after the light faded.

He began checking its attributes.

Name: Supreme Protocol

Level: 3

Faction: Order

Recruitment: 30/30 (daily)

Cost: 1 Gold Coin (100W)

Halo: Light of Technology

Upgrade: Origin Crystal x10000, Technology Seed x10, Gold Coin x10W!

"As expected, the price is insanely expensive. This is only a level-three troop, yet it already costs the same as the Fallen Heaven Sanctuary. If I raise it to level ten or higher, won't the cost go through the damn roof?" Su Ye thought, pained yet delighted.
