Chapter 27: Urgent Territory Expansion Mission!

They managed to return to the thatched cottage.

Outside the window, there was a dark shadow.

Liao Fan stood in front of the window and stared at the fog.

It had been a tough journey.

Fortunately, Liao Fan had an amazing memory and could accurately find the correct route. 

If he had made a mistake, they might not even be alive right now.

Furthermore, he had discovered something shocking.

The scroll had unlocked another option.

[ Territory Upgrade ]

Through this tab, Liao Fan could see all the safe houses that were his. 

[ Number Of Safe House In Possession: 2 ]

[ Level 1 Function: Can block the fog completely and provides simple synthesis. Cannot be moved or stored. ]

[ Territory can be upgraded into various alternatives. ]

[ Underground Fortress ]

[ Floating Island ]

[ War Chariot ]

[ Normal Level 2 Territory ]

There were a total of four options.

Liao Fan first clicked on the ‘Underground Fortress’ to check its requirements. 

All the materials needed were displayed.

[ Underground Fortress (Level 1): Iron block 500/0, resin 2000/328, clay block 3000/470, stone 2000/167, wood 1000/475, coal 500/8. ]

In front were the materials required and behind were the materials he had.

At the moment, he did not have enough materials.

A huge quantity was needed.

Then, Liao Fan checked the ‘Floating Island’.

[ Floating Island (Level 1): Floating stone 500/0, fluorite 20/0, clay block 500/470, stone 2000/167. ]

Floating stone and fluorite were materials that Liao Fan had yet to obtain. 

Naturally, he could not upgrade to the ‘Floating Island’ either.

‘Oh well. Let me check the third option.’

The ‘War Chariot’ was rather appealing.

If Liao Fan upgraded his cottage into a ‘War Chariot’, he could drive it around! 

Future explorations would become much easier.

However, even though the ‘War Chariot’ could repel the fog, it would not chase away the wild beasts.

This also applied to the ‘Underground Fortress’ and ‘Floating Island’. 

Of course, upgrading to the ‘War Chariot’ was not simple.

[ War Chariot (Level 1): Rubber 20/0, alloy metal 200/0, steel plate 15/0, crawler 2/0 ]

[ Fuel is needed for the War Chariot. It can also be loaded with cannons! ]

[ It could not be modified. ]

Liao Fan already had a clear goal.

First, he needed to upgrade his thatched cottage into a ‘Normal Level 2 Territory’.

Besides, he owned another safe house.

He could transform that into the ‘War Chariot’ instead once he had all the materials.

For now, there was no point in even considering the ‘Underground Fortress’ and ‘Floating Island’!

Just an upgrade to the cottage would benefit Liao Fan more.

“The ‘War Chariot’ is a must because the safe house would become mobile,” said Liao Fan to himself.

He thought that this was the simplest and most convenient plan for his current self.

Moreover, once the safe house transformed into a ‘War Chariot, it would become a powerful weapon.

Therefore, in future exploration, he needed to prioritize the materials needed for the ‘War Chariot’.

Lastly, Liao Fan checked the materials needed for the ‘Normal Level 2 Territory’.

[ Normal Level 2 Territory: Stone 1000/167, clay block 500/470, fence 200/0, wood 500/475. ]

It seemed that he was still lacking in materials.

In fact, he lacked quite a lot.

Fortunately, he knew where to obtain these materials.

He could even trade for them on the world channel.

It was not difficult.

Liao Fan was very tempted by the functions of the level two territory.

[ Level 2 Territory’s Functions: The size of the cottage will be expanded. Additionally, a garden, fish pond, and fireplace will be provided! ]

That’s right, the cottage would double in size!

It also came with three additional functions.

A garden, fish pond, and fireplace.

Needless to say, the garden could be used for planting fruit and vegetables.

Liao Fan could also store the fish he had caught in the pond to raise them.

He may not need to go out and explore anymore. 

With a level 2 territory, he could be self-sufficient.

This was a qualitative change caused by quantitative changes.

As for the fireplace, Liao Fan was not sure what he would do with it yet.

Nonetheless, it should come in useful.

Liao Fan really wanted to upgrade his cottage immediately.

It was a shame that the materials were insufficient.

Going out to explore right now would be a bad idea.

After all, it was almost nighttime.

Liao Fan still had more than seventy torches leftover.

Up to this point, he had consumed more than a hundred torches. 

The consumption rate was rather terrifying.

He began thinking about the world channel.

‘This might be a good time to start trading!’
