Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs Chapter 8

Chapter 8: Big Brother Mike Was Indeed a Profiteer

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

At the same time that he killed the black wolf, a golden light flashed on Tyrell’s body, and he immediately rose from tier 3 to tier 4, and it was even tier 4, level 5.

Killing elite-level wild monsters increased his strength even more.

After Tyrell finished leveling up, he began to clean up the battlefield.

…

In the Dragon King Castle.

In the courtyard.

A dazzling golden light enveloped Mike.

When the golden light dissipated, his strength had also risen to tier 2.

He checked the information prompt.

Suddenly, his expression was replaced by surprise.

[killed a tier 4 level 1 elite black wolf, energy value +60, energy stone +5, strange crystal +1]

“It actually dropped a strange crystal.”

Strange crystals were rarer than energy stones.

They were also special materials for leveling up troops.

“Hahaha, I didn’t expect to be so lucky.”

Mike was ecstatic.

After all, he needed 100 energy stones and one strange crystal to level up his level 1 dragon’s nest to level 2.

Now, he had obtained the strange crystals.

After working hard and gathering 100 energy stones, his dragon’s nest could level up. After leveling up, he could hatch another huge dragon. This way, his strength would increase greatly, and he would have more protection against the Beast Tide five days later.

This was good news.

“Tier 4 elite black wolf.”

“Compared to ordinary tier 1 and tier 2 black wolves, it’s considered a small boss.”

“The drop rate of the boss is obviously higher.”

“I’m still a little shocked that Tyrell killed the elite black wolf.”

After all, Tyrell had not reached tier 4 yet, but he was still able to kill a tier 4 wild monster.

However, thinking about it, it did not matter. Tyrell was a dragon, and he was the king of the forest. The black wolf’s bloodline was not as n.o.ble as a dragon’s. It was normal to be suppressed.

Before long, Tyrell brought a large number of black wolf corpses back to the castle.

Mike followed the usual practice of collecting and dissecting the corpses, including the elite black wolf corpses.

He obtained a total of 350 units of food, as well as various monster materials such as wolf fangs and fur.

Compared to before, he obtained less food this time.

However, during the battle, it was inevitable that some monster corpses would be damaged and could not be collected.

The collected food was also put on the shelves of the [ s.p.a.ce exchange ] one by one

Normal food had a total of 340 units,

Elite black wolf meat, 10 units.

[One unit of elite black wolf meat, in exchange for three energy stones.]

[Special items are acceptable too.]

[PS: These are special ingredients that can strengthen the body and increase strength after consumption.]

Before putting the items on the shelves, Mike had also specially roasted a piece of elite black wolf meat to eat. After eating it, there was also a message saying that he had increased his energy value by one point. Therefore, he was not lying.

A little increase was also an increase. After eating too much, it was not impossible for him to level up.

The 340 units of food on the shelves were sold out after nearly two hours.

Firstly, after the recruitment and summoning the next day, the number of troops of the Castle Lord had increased.

With more troops, their strength would become stronger, and the chances of obtaining food would naturally be higher.

Even if they could not kill wild monsters, they could still catch rabbits, pheasants, and other small animals or pick wild fruits to fill their stomachs.

Secondly, it was because the castle lords who had powerful soldiers all imitated Mike. They hunted wild monsters and put food on the shelves to obtain the materials needed for the castle.

Hence, in the [s.p.a.ce exchange], it was slowly becoming normal for people to exchange for food.

Compared to other sellers, Mike was definitely a profiteer.

His exchange price was still the highest.

Castle Lords who desperately needed food would only grit their teeth and exchange for Mike’s food when they had no other choice.

Just like what Bella said.

Mike’s reputation in the circle of Castle Lords was already ‘bad’.

Many Castle Lords boycotted Mike, saying that he raised prices and exploited others.

However, Mike did not care.

Some people needed reputation and popularity.

But he, Mike, did not need these.

The unique super-top-cla.s.s dragon army could completely let him stand in this world.

Currying favor from little brothers and little sisters…

Would only disrupt the development of his Dragon King Castle’s forces.

When he was strong enough, why worry about having little brothers?

…

At the same time.

Ten units of elite black wolf meat appeared.

It caused a huge commotion in the Castle Lord’s circle.

[World chat channel] was also lively, everyone was discussing Mike’s elite black wolf meat.

[It’s only the second day, and Big Brother Mike has already killed an elite tier monster!!]

[Oh my G.o.d! This… This is too strong!!]

[According to my investigation, the level of an elite boss is at least tier 4!!]

[A tier 4 elite tier wild monster. I will run away if I see one!!]

[Currently, most of the soldiers under the command of the Castle Lords are at most tier 1 or tier 2. Only a small number of the castle lords have reached tier 3. Therefore, it is impossible to kill a tier 4 elite tier boss!]

[But big brother Mike did it!!]

[I have to say, although big brother Mike is a profiteer, his strength is undoubtedly strong!]

[Oh! The wolf meat of a Tier 4 elite can also increase strength. I really want to eat it!]

[But one unit of food for three energy stones. That’s too much!]

[Big brother Mike is indeed a profiteer!!]

…

However, it was true. The other Castle Lords exchanged three units of food for one energy stone, but when it came to Mike, it was the other way around.

Moreover, three units of food might not be able to be exchanged for his goods.

It could be seen that energy stones were also relatively precious.

Although tier 4 elite-level food was relatively special food, it was still relatively expensive to exchange three energy stones for one unit.

Although an elite level wild monster’s corpse was only provided 10 units, if it was exchanged for energy stones, there would be a total of 30 energy stones.

30 energy stones.

Only by killing 100 wild monsters would one be able to obtain it!

It had to be said that Mike could really be considered a profiteer.

However, Mike was not worried that no one would buy it.

After all, this was a tier 4 special food, and there were only 10 units.

The rarer the item, the more valuable it was. Not to mention, there were billions of Castle Lords. With such a large base, there would definitely be people who would take an interest in it.

Moreover, the meat of a tier 4 elite miniboss had a special effect. There would also be people who would be willing to pay with energy stones or special items.

Right now, he only had 45 energy stones on hand. 10 units of special food could be exchanged for 30 energy stones. This added up to 75 energy stones, and he would be able to level up the dragon’s nest soon.

300 units of ordinary food were also enough to upgrade the resources of the castle.

Originally, he was still short of 200 units of stones, but now he had enough.
