Global Game: I, the Necromancer, am the scourge

```

"Indeed, Lady Luck, my wife, does love me!"

Your next read awaits at empire

Four Iron Ingot resource cards, two experience cards, just wait for the smelting of 200 ordinary Iron Ingots, and I can directly upgrade to a Level 3 Lord’s Mansion.

"Still need to wait a couple of hours, just enough time to upgrade the rest of the buildings once."

After upgrading to Level 2 territory, all the previously constructed buildings can be elevated one level higher.

Although these buildings won’t manifest any new functions, their existing functions will be enhanced.

For example, the barracks, which initially could only accommodate 10 units at a time for training, can now train 20 units simultaneously after upgrading.

However, what satisfied Lord Zi the most were the upgrades for the warehouse and the trading market.

The former doubled its capacity, while the latter gained two more trading slots.

More trading slots meant that I didn’t have to wait for the refresh at midnight to send various resources to Xiao Yurou.

So, after reserving enough resources to upgrade to a Level 3 Lord’s Mansion, Lord Zi packed up all the remaining resources and marked them for a [Heart of the Lord].

He then immediately sent a message to Xiao Yurou.

Within just a few seconds, the packaged resources were purchased.

Shen Yurou: Resources received, haha, can immediately proceed with the Level 2 Lord’s Mansion upgrade.

One minute later...

Shen Yurou: I’m the second Lord to succeed in the upgrade, it looks like Li Yuan, you are the first, the rewards from the Sea of Realms are so little, 50 Spirit Crystals, 5 prestige points, a common treasure chest.

Shen Yurou: By the way, do you want these common treasure chests? I have six here, and they don’t open into anything good. With your luck value, you should be able to get something useful.

Zi Liyuan: Accumulate a few more, give them to me in a few days.

Shen Yurou: Do you need a basic version of the collection robot?

Zi Liyuan: No need, I have more skeletons than I can place—even though they’re less efficient, I have a large baseline number.

The two chatted leisurely while working, and time flew by for a little over an hour.

Seeing the accumulated resources in the Lord’s panel were enough for an upgrade, without further ado, I pressed the upgrade button for the Lord’s Mansion again.

[Ding, Stone (White) X3000, Timber (White) X3000, Fine Stone (Green) X300, Fine Timber (Green) X300, Iron Ingot (White) X200, Fine Iron Ingot (Green) X100, Energy 300. Lord’s Mansion upgrade begins, countdown 30 seconds!]

The resources set aside for the upgrade were swept away, leaving only some freshly gathered remnants.

As the 30-second countdown came to an end, a gentle golden light bloomed in the darkness of the night.

Within the golden light, the Lord’s Mansion, which had only recently become a wooden house, changed once again.

The wooden house transformed gradually into stone and expanded its area.

In a matter of seconds, as the golden light faded, the stone house solidified, and a small courtyard with two rooms and a living hall appeared before Zi Liyuan’s eyes.

[Ding, upgrade complete, congratulations to Zi Liyuan for becoming a Level 3 Lord, territory expansion granted!]

[Ding, congratulations to Zi Liyuan for being the first Lord to reach Level 3 in the 99th new Realm Territory, reward 100 Spirit Crystals, 2 green random treasure chests, 10 prestige points in the 99th new Realm Territory!]

[Ding, Lord’s Mansion upgraded to Level 3, territory expanded by 100 square meters, and buildings like the Fence, Household Workshop, and Mysterious Shop are now unlocked.]

[Ding, requirements for upgrading the Lord’s Mansion to Level 4: Stone (White) X4000, Timber (White) X4000, Fine Stone (Green) X400, Fine Timber (Green) X400, Iron Ingot (White) X400, Fine Iron Ingot (Green) X200, Copper Ingot (White) X200, Energy 400.]

Three new buildings added: the fence is the precursor to fortress walls with almost negligible defense capabilities.

The Household Workshop, as the name suggests, is obvious.

The Mysterious Shop, however, is a treasure, stocking items like gems, equipment, supplies, troop types, and more—all based on luck, refreshing every three days and presenting three items each time.

Items can be exchanged using resources or Spirit Crystals.

Lord: Zi Liyuan

Territory Trait: Land of Death

Size: 300 square meters

Subjects: 10,000+/800

Existing Buildings: Lord’s Mansion (Level 3), Level 1 buildings [Altar, Quarry (2), Logging Camp (4), Slaughterhouse, Tavern, Residential Houses], Level 2 buildings [Warehouse (2), Barracks, Forge, Trading Market]

Buildable Buildings: Canteen Kitchen, Archery Barracks, Armor Crafting Workshop, Fence, Household Workshop, Mysterious Shop

Food: 77 units

Resources: Ordinary [Timber X208, Stone X199, Iron Ingot X3], Fine [Timber X2, Stone X5, Iron Ingot X1, Copper Ingot X10]

Energy: 7802

Spirit Crystals: 300

Experience Pool: 210,000

Looking at the Lord’s panel, Zi Liyuan was quite satisfied. Energy and the experience pool were accumulating; both would become increasingly significant later in the game, hence the need for a substantial early accumulation.

Especially the experience pool, which later on would be needed to level up high-tier enforcers summoned from the Sea of Realms. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"I already have 101 Level 40 Skeleton Warriors, that should be enough for now, no need to waste experience points."

There’s a good amount of ore that’s been hauled back, once all smelted, another upgrade for the Lord’s Mansion should be no problem.

However, for Level 5, if nothing else, Fine Copper Ingots will be required, and the current ten are clearly not enough.

Those were exploded from the Iron Elementals’ boss, just hoping the Gnolls would be more effective.

Considering the deal with the Gnolls, the food resources are certainly going to be less, so I’ll need to go hunting a large number of beasts or monsters other than elemental beings.

Then there’s the newly emerged Household Workshop that must be established and assigned to White Jade Skeletons for production.

Things for daily use, like pots and pans, tables and chairs, beds and clothes...
