Halo: Blessing of the Dragon God!

"I still owe fifty thousand Origin Crystals." Su Ye looked at the five Barracks Upgrade Cards in his hand. They were valuable, yet not valuable.

Barracks Upgrade Cards could only upgrade Barracks below level ten. Otherwise, they would not be this cheap. They were being sold at a low price now because it was still the Novice Period.

That was why they had a price. The things that were truly valuable were priceless, usually traded item for item in exchange for what one needed. That was the normal way of doing things.

When something had a price, it meant it was not that valuable. Still, it was not cheap either.

"Nine Barracks Upgrade Cards?" A glint flashed in Su Ye's eyes. That meant he could directly upgrade one Barracks to level ten and still have some left over.

"I'll think about it later." Su Ye put away the Barracks Upgrade Cards and headed toward the Origin Dragon Nest.

With the resources he currently had, he would upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest and the Holy Temple first.

On Lin Xiaoxiao's side.

After closing her chat with Su Ye, Lin Xiaoxiao's reason for directly trading him the Barracks Upgrade Cards was simple: investment. He was currently her largest trading client.

This was also a form of investment for Lin Xiaoxiao—an investment in Su Ye's potential.

Even if the investment failed, it would only cost her a few tens of thousands of Origin Crystals. She could easily afford that loss.

But if the investment succeeded, she would gain ties with a promising Lord. What was the most useful thing to a merchant?

Connections!!

At least, that was how it worked in this Lord World. The connections of merchants were beyond what ordinary Lords could imagine, especially since these promising Lords were all targets they sought to befriend.

Of course, that excluded lunatics like Yi Ye Zhi Qiu, who wanted to fleece others empty-handed.

Such people might have potential, but in the eyes of these merchants, they were not worth befriending. They were too unreliable.

As for why Su Ye wanted things like Barracks Upgrade Cards and Dark Seeds, none of that mattered to Lin Xiaoxiao. Nor did she want to know.

What mattered was whether Su Ye was worth investing in. That was the key. Besides Su Ye, Lin Xiaoxiao had also invested to varying degrees in other promising Lords.

This was standard practice for a Merchant Lord.

Within Su Ye's territory.

Su Ye arrived at the Origin Dragon Nest and looked at the golden troop building before him.

Pangilia appeared beside Su Ye.

"System, upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest!" Su Ye said.

[Ding: Consume Origin Crystal x1000, Gold Coin x10,000, Seed of Chaos x1 to upgrade the Origin Dragon Nest?]

"Upgrade!"

Golden light rose within Su Ye's territory. The phantom of an ancient Dragon roared as it appeared in the skies above his territory. The terrifying Dragon phantom roared as it coiled over the land.

In the end, it transformed into a streak of golden light and directly merged into the Origin Dragon Nest.

[Ding: Your Barracks, Origin Dragon Nest, has been upgraded. Current level: 3. You may view its attributes yourself!]

Su Ye looked at the golden palace before him and immediately checked it.

Name: Origin Dragon Nest

Level: 3

Faction: Chaos

Recruitment: 10/30 (daily)

Gold Coin: 1 Gold Coin (1,000,000)

Halo: Blessing of the Dragon God

Upgrade: Origin Crystal x10,000, Gold Coin x100,000, Seed of Chaos x10

...

"Level three already. What is this Blessing of the Dragon God?" Su Ye checked it directly.

Blessing of the Dragon God: All Dragon troops originating from the Origin Dragon Nest would have their strength increased by 100%!

"Very good. Very powerful." Su Ye looked at the Blessing of the Dragon God Halo. It was simple, brutal, and effective—a noble percentage-based boost.

Combined with the bonuses from the Valhalla and Crystal Palace traits in his territory, it was damn ridiculous.

"The strongest troops under my command are undoubtedly the Dragon race." Su Ye could not help thinking.

It had originally been the Original Sin Fallen Angel, but now it seemed the Dragon race had completely taken that position.

Su Ye looked at the Origin Dragon Nest, then entered it with Pangilia. It had just been upgraded, and he still had ten units left to recruit today. He wondered whether a miracle might happen.

[Ding: Consume 10 Gold Coins for daily recruitment?]

The system prompt sounded.

"Recruit." Su Ye looked at the Dragon Statues before him.

Primordial Black Gold Dragon +10!

"No Hero Units, huh? Still, this isn't bad." Su Ye looked at the ten young Dragons before him. He was not disappointed. Although he had not recruited any Hero Units, ten young Dragons were still good.

"Pangilia, they're yours." Su Ye said to Pangilia.

Pangilia nodded.

Su Ye left the Origin Dragon Nest.

"Hm?" A flash of red appeared at the edge of Su Ye's vision.

"What's going on?" Su Ye looked toward a patch of grass in the distance. Curious, he walked over.

Among the clumps of grass before him grew vivid red wild fruits.

The area was not small. The entire patch of grass covered around two hundred square meters.

His territory was all grassland. Where had these things come from? Curious, Su Ye checked them.

Name: Earth Spirit Grass

Level: Bronze (Ranks: Black Iron, Bronze, Silver Rank, Gold, Platinum Rank, Diamond, Demigod, God Level)

Trait: A Bronze-rank spirit medicine. Its condensed fruits can slightly increase the potential of troops below Fifth Rank.

"It evolved through mutation." Su Ye looked at the roughly two-hundred-square-meter patch of grass. There were quite a few red fruits growing on it.

"Interesting. Was it the Chaos Spring Eye?" Su Ye looked toward the Chaos Spring Eye in the distance.

The Chaos Spring Eye's third trait: Light of Evolution.

Su Ye had nearly forgotten. He had always used the Chaos Spring Water as a healing potion, yet he had forgotten that the Chaos Spring Eye could do far more than that.

As for selling Chaos Spring Water? Unless Su Ye wanted to die, he would never do that. Water that could heal all injuries and curses—if he put that on the market, it would truly be a case of possessing treasure inviting disaster.

"So that's how it is?" Su Ye plucked a red fruit. It was the size of a cherry and carried a strange fragrance.

Su Ye took a bite. The juice burst in his mouth, fragrant and sweet, with a hint of tartness beneath the sweetness.

"Not bad. It'll be good for cutting through the richness. I'm almost sick of eating meat every day." Su Ye looked at the patch of Earth Spirit Grass before him. There were plenty of fruits on it.

He would have someone come pick them later and enjoy them during the banquet that evening.

As for selling them? Su Ye had not considered it. Although they could increase the potential of troops below Fifth Rank, only slightly, no one would buy them if the price was too high. If the price was too low, it would not be worth selling them at all.

Besides, not many Lords were willing to spend resources cultivating troops below Fifth Rank. More often, they were used as cannon fodder. If one was willing to spend heavily improving troops below Fifth Rank, why not spend that money on obtaining a Barracks above Fifth Rank instead?
