Chapter 4: Shocking the World_1
And from the start of the game until now, only just over two hours had passed.
Therefore, for the vast majority of people, exchanging 1 portion was equivalent to their entire net worth.
However, since someone had used underhanded tactics to monopolize the market from the beginning, that was why there were cheers of praise in the chat channel.
Upon seeing that just 100 portions of meat had easily acquired the materials needed for upgrading the Lord\'s Mansion, a trace of delight appeared on Leo Ray\'s face.
What would take other players at least a week of hard work to gather resources for, he had easily accomplished in a matter of seconds.
Even if they bought their way to a fast start with VIP 15 status, that wouldn\'t be nearly as fast as he was!
Without any hesitation, after extracting all the resources from the trading center and storing them in his inventory, Leo Ray came to the front of the log cabin excitedly and pressed the upgrade button right away.
In an instant, a colorful light screen appeared out of thin air and completely enveloped the entire log cabin.
At the same time, a prompts sounded.
[You have consumed 2000 Wood, 1000 Thatch, and 500 Stone]
[Lord\'s Mansion Lv1 is being upgraded, please wait...]
Hearing this, Leo Ray wore an expectant expression.
After all, the previous level 1 log cabin was quite fragile, barely surviving after Taylor almost trampled it.
After the upgrade, it should be somewhat more stable, right?
About a quarter of an hour later, the light screen gradually dispersed, and the prompt arrived as promised.
[Congratulations on upgrading your Lord\'s Mansion to Lv:2!]
[Congratulations on unlocking the \'Manufacturing\' function.]
Looking at the log cabin in front of him, not only has the area doubled as compared to before.
Moreover, the exterior was further reinforced with wood and equipped with rain protection measures, making it look completely renewed.
After walking around the log cabin, Leo Ray showed a satisfied expression.
What surprised him even more was the unlocking of the \'Manufacturing\' function.
With this new feature, items such as hand carts, logging axes, arrows, and other simple tools, as well as wooden barrels, wooden bowls, wooden stools, and other daily necessities and furniture, could be created directly using raw materials such as wood and stone.
Of course, while the current processing is relatively crude, it barely reaches a usable standard.
Yet, the vast majority of these items are undoubtedly the most urgently needed daily necessities in the territory.
This has undoubtedly solved a major problem that Leo Ray faced.
Next, just as he was about to step in and take a closer look, the prompt sounded for the third time.
[Respected Your Excellency Lord, congratulations! You are the first player to have upgraded to a Second-Class Mansion in the world. A global announcement will be made; do you want to disclose your name?]
Upon hearing this news, Leo Ray, who had already planned his next moves, replied without hesitation: "Reveal it!"
The next second, in the ears of all players, there came a sudden announcement:
[Congratulations to Lord Leo Ray, 0013076067, the first player to have upgraded to a Second-Class Lord\'s Mansion globally! Reward: one piece of Tier 2 Random Equipment and one Tier 2 Random Equipment Blueprint!]
For a moment, all ten billion lords across the globe were stunned on the spot.
There\'s no doubt that if the name Leo Ray was previously only circulating among some lords,
At this moment, it has shocked the ears of all the Earth lords!
Especially for those foreign lords, their trading centers had never seen large quantities of meat for sale, so when they heard the news, their faces were filled with astonishment and confusion!
However, the global chat channel had not yet been opened, so let\'s not dwell on it here.
At the same time, all domestic regional channels immediately erupted.
"That boss is so awesome!!"
"How did it happen so fast? Is he cheating? Where can I report him?""Report your ass! Did the guy upstairs get his brain pierced or something? Do you think you\'re just sitting in front of a computer playing a game? That guy definitely has real skills!"
"That\'s right! It\'s a world of big shots, too much for you mortals to understand. By the way, I want to ask humbly, does the big shot need any ornaments for their legs?"
"The guy who ranked first, I was practicing some new dance moves when I got teleported here. Could you teach me how to develop fast?"
"Speaking of that, guys, this is the great Leo Ray who just traded cheap meat for us! Master Leo, I salute you! Salute!"
"Support Master Leo! Finally, we\'ve crushed that anonymous, arrogant player under our feet! Hahaha!"
...
Leo Ray glanced at the chat channel and smiled faintly, walking directly into the small wooden house.
After entering, Leo Ray found that the upgraded Lord\'s Mansion was indeed a lot better.
There was a living room outside and a bedroom inside, already resembling a standard suite.
Moreover, many wooden furniture like tables, chairs, and benches were added.
In the bedroom, besides a softer wooden bed, there were also two bedside tables, looking very clean and tidy.
After looking around, Leo Ray seemed to remember something and showed an excited expression.
"That\'s right, I didn\'t expect that in addition to being on TV, the first place also came with extra rewards!"
Since the random equipment and equipment blueprint he just received were automatically sent to the storage space, he couldn\'t wait to go to the wooden chest.
Next, naturally, was the exciting reward extraction part!
Afterward, with a move in his mind, a long blade similar to a Tang sword and a leather scroll appeared in Leo Ray\'s left and right hands.
[Congratulations on obtaining \'Tier 2 Weapon: Falling Moon Blade\']!
[Congratulations on obtaining \'Tier 2 Armor Blueprint: Black Iron Chainmail\']!
Looking at the words "can be upgraded" appearing next to the weapon and blueprint, Leo Ray felt delighted and immediately used Golden Finger to start upgrading.
However, to prevent a sudden pile of items appearing under his feet again.
This time, he chose to operate directly within the storage space.
[Congratulations! Your \'Tier 2 Weapon: Falling Moon Blade\' is upgraded to \'Tier 2 Weapon: Falling Moon Blade,\' with 101 blades!]
[Congratulations! Your \'Tier 2 Armor Blueprint: Black Iron Chainmail\' is upgraded to \'Tier 3 Armor Blueprint: Bright Silver Luminous Armor\']!
"Is it another qualitative change and quantitative change? Nice!"
Without delay, Leo Ray brought out the Falling Moon Blade in his hand with another movement of his mind.
[Name: Falling Moon Blade]
[Grade: Tier 2• Fine (green)]
[Attack power: ★★] (the higher the star level, the stronger the attack power)
[Additional effects: None]
[Remark: Made of refined iron, the blade is straight, 75cm in total length, with a blade length of 55cm. With an oval metal handguard, it is said to be a standard weapon of a certain empire.]
"That\'s good, perfect for self-defense. As for the others, they could be used to equip the army in bulk later!"
Drawing the sword and swinging it several times in the air, Leo Ray put it back into its sheath, hanging it casually on his waist.
This weapon was lightweight and sharp, with low requirements for the user.
Although he was just a normal person now, he could still exert considerable power, clearly making it a good self-defense weapon.
"I have to say, I finally look a bit like a lord now."
Walking back and forth a few steps, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
As for the upgraded Tier 3 armor blueprint, it required a blacksmith shop and corresponding materials to be made.
Moreover, after the successful crafting, the specific attributes could be checked, so it\'s temporarily unnecessary.
After all that was done, Leo Ray, now equipped with a sharp blade, sat down in the wooden boss chair in the living room.
He prepared to open the Trading Center and make the next arrangements.
At this moment, he unexpectedly found that the number of his private messages had reached "9999+", and it was still flashing non-stop!
