Cloud Realm, Online!

After counting the Spirit Cores and Mithril, Han Xing continued to count the other materials and resources.

Hundreds of thousands of Rare Earth, Aether, and tens of thousands of Strength Crystals, Magic Crystals, as well as the blood of strong individuals and various one-star beast hides, and so on.

And most importantly, he had acquired over 20 Moon Crystal Stones, a crucial material needed to craft the purple weapon, Moon Coronet Longbow.

In other words, Han Xing could now craft four purple weapons at once!

But he didn't craft them immediately because his level wasn't high enough yet, and he wouldn't be able to equip them even if he did.

It wouldn't be too late to make them after he reached level 6.

Then, Han Xing stuffed all the materials on his Sky Island territory into his storage box.

The crowded Sky Island territory became spacious again.

Han Xing casually grabbed a small folding stool, placed it under his butt, and took out a blueprint from his backpack to study.

This was the Elementary Castle Construction Blueprint he had obtained from the Whisperer yesterday when he auctioned off the first batch of Life Elixirs.

Just then, a childish animal sound rang out.

"Awoo!"

Coal Ball suddenly jumped onto Han Xing's lap, sticking out its little head, seemingly curious about what its master was looking at.

Han Xing lifted Coal Ball with one hand, placed it on his shoulder, patted its little head, and said, "Don't cause trouble for me right now. I'll take you out for a stroll tomorrow."

Han Xing hadn't explored the Sky Island for the past two days, and this energetic little guy had nowhere to vent its boundless energy, and it was about to go stir-crazy.

"Awoo~"

Coal Ball tilted its head and responded obediently.

After appeasing the little guy, Han Xing looked at the blueprint in his hand again.

[Elementary Castle Construction Blueprint: Territory-type building. Survivors can build an elementary castle in their territory.]

[Elementary Castle: Defense Value 1000, increases the Defense Value of all defensive buildings in the territory by 20%, increases the Attack Power of all offensive buildings by 10%, increases all stats of all friendly units by 10%, and increases the movement speed of the Sky Island territory by 10%.]

[Materials required to build the Elementary Castle: Stone*100000, Wood*20000, Spirit Core*50000, Fine Iron*50000, Rare Earth*90000, Mithril*8000, Strength Crystal*5000, Magic Crystal*5000.]

Note: When building the Elementary Castle, the territory area must be at least greater than 1000 square meters, and at least 400 square meters of open space must be reserved.

Looking at the materials, all calculated in units of ten thousand, Han Xing suddenly realized that this thing probably wasn't something that could appear at the current stage.

At this stage, which survivor could take out so many materials at once?

Of course, except for him.

No wonder the Whisperer chose to trade this blueprint, because in his estimation, even with the 'Whispers of the Gods' team providing assistance behind him, it would take a long time to gather all these materials.

Han Xing said with some surprise, "So many materials, even with my reserves, wouldn't be enough before trading Life Elixirs."

"However, the effects of this castle are really strong. Just standing in the territory will increase my stats by 10%."

Moreover, this stat enhancement could not only be amplified to Han Xing alone, but as long as they were friendly units within the territory, including pets, summons, and vassal units, they could also enjoy the bonus!

"However, what is the concept of this 1000 Defense Value? Can it withstand the impact of elite monsters?"

Han Xing was a little uncertain, but thinking that he didn't even have a house, and a pile of furniture could only be placed in the open air.

Han Xing immediately decided to do it!

No matter what other effects the castle had, even if it was just used as a shelter from the wind and rain!

With that thought, Han Xing directly moved all the furniture in the center of the territory to the side, leaving enough open space.

The next moment, he clicked to build.

The castle blueprint in his hand disappeared, and then, a system prompt appeared.

"Territory Building: Elementary Castle is under construction, estimated remaining time 32 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds..."

"Elementary Castle Construction Blueprint has been automatically recorded in the territory function page."

After the system prompt appeared.

Han Xing saw that a large area in the center of his territory was circled, like a rectangular outline.

A bluish-gray mist suddenly rose within the area.

At the same time, a large number of materials disappeared from his storage box.

Then, not long after, the foundation of a castle was built.

Han Xing roughly calculated in his mind that the maximum diameter of the castle was 39 meters, covering an area of about 300 square meters, which was not too large.

But if it was just used as a residence, then it would be a well-deserved big house, a mansion!

If it were on Earth, building such a castle would cost millions.

Han Xing imagined the completed castle with anticipation.

According to the sketch on the blueprint, this was a relatively retro European-style building, divided into upper, middle, and lower three floors, with an outward-expanding tower on each of the four corners of each floor, with windows in the middle of the towers.

In the very center of the building, a tower tens of meters high stood, with a flag fluttering at the top.

Han Xing said excitedly, "I'm finally going to have a home of my own in this world!"

After the anticipation, Han Xing found the sofa he had made and promptly lay down on it.

His tense nerves began to relax, and Han Xing suddenly felt a wave of fatigue wash over him.

He had been so busy these past two days. Although the rewards were incredible, he was indeed exhausted.

Han Xing stared blankly at the bright starry sky, the gentle breeze feeling especially comforting.

Coal Ball, the little guy, had jumped onto the sofa at some point and lay down by his feet, a soft purr escaping its mouth.

And so, man and wolf drifted off to sleep.

The next day.

The tenth day since all of Earth's humans had arrived in this world.

Han Xing had just woken up when a system notification suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

System: "Attention, all survivors."

"Ten days have passed since you entered Sky Island Paradise, and you have initially adapted to this world."

"A new version of the game has been launched, and a new challenge instance, the Cloud Realm, is about to open."

"The Cloud Realm is randomly generated. Survivors can find clouds with vortex symbols in the surrounding area; inside lies the randomly generated Cloud Realm."

"Please note: The Cloud Realm is different from other Sky Island territories. Upon entering, you will be teleported to a special scene, and the monsters in each scene will vary."

"The Cloud Realm has five difficulty levels, from 1 star to 5 stars. Each star level has different restrictions on the number of people who can enter at the same time. The higher the star level, the higher the danger. Survivors, please choose carefully!"

"In the current version, the highest generated instance difficulty is 2 stars."

"Upon successfully challenging the Cloud Realm, you will receive valuable items and generous rewards, including but not limited to blue and purple equipment, advanced class scrolls, rune blueprints, rune crystals, fragments of the strong, and more!"
