[Congratulations, your 'Crude Logging Axe' (590 units) has been upgraded to 'Exquisite Logging Axe' (590 units)!]
[Congratulations, your 'Crude Logging Axe' (610 units) has been upgraded to 'Crude Logging Axe' (61500 units)!]
[Congratulations, your 'Crude Sickle' (620 units) has been upgraded to 'Exquisite Sickle' (620 units)!]
[Congratulations, your 'Crude Sickle' (580 units) has been upgraded to 'Crude Sickle' (58700 units)!]
...
[You dismantled 'Exquisite Logging Axe' (550 units) and gained Wood x550, Iron Ore x550!]
[You dismantled 'Crude Logging Axe' (61500 units) and gained Wood x61500, Stone x61500!]
[You dismantled 'Exquisite Sickle' (550 units) and gained Wood x550, Copper Ore x550!]
[You dismantled 'Crude Sickle' (58700 units) and gained Wood x58700, Stone x58700!]
After a series of upgrades and dismantling, Leo Ray couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.
In just 8 hours, he successfully obtained 550 units of Iron Ore and 550 units of Copper Ore. Moreover, he also gained around 120,000 units of Wood and Stone each!
The extra Exquisite Axes and Exquisite Sickles were, of course, meant to be exchanged for new ones by Gavin Sullivan and his team. As a result, having better tools would further increase their work efficiency.
"It seems that apart from Thatch, the problem of obtaining first-class and second-class Copper and Iron resources is basically completely resolved!"
Excited, Leo Ray was about to start manufacturing again but was informed that the Manufacturing Magic Array in his Lord's Mansion could only work for a maximum of 8 hours per day.

"Not bad, at least for now, I can produce a stable output of 500-600 units of Copper and Iron Ore daily, as well as around 120,000 units of Wood and Stone."
Without dwelling on it, Leo Ray eagerly proceeded to the next step - upgrading his mansion!
He pressed the upgrade button straight away.
The next second, a colorful light curtain appeared as expected, completely enveloping the entire mansion.
Meanwhile, familiar construction sounds and mechanical prompt sounds were heard one after another.
[You have consumed Wood x18000, Thatch x9000, Stone x4500, Iron Ore x500, and Copper Ore x500]
[The Lord's Mansion Lv3 is under upgrade, please wait ...]
This time, the upgrading process didn't take as long as Leo Ray had expected.
The prompt sound quickly rang in his ears.
[Congratulations, your Lord's Mansion has been upgraded to Lv: 4!]
[Congratulations, you have unlocked the 'Mind Talk' feature.]
As the colorful light dissipated, Leo Ray found out that the mansion had expanded once again after reaching Level 4, with the overall structure appearing more durable than before.
It had basically changed from a wooden structure to a mixture of stone and wood. Especially the mansion's main gate, it was replaced with a sturdy metal gate.
Entering the mansion and exploring inside, Leo Ray nodded in satisfaction.
This time, besides adding some new furniture, there was an additional new room on each floor.
The first floor had the Lord's Office, a small banquet hall, and a reception room.
On the second floor, there was a bedroom, study, and an independent cloakroom.
"The functionality and purpose of each room are becoming more complete."
While Leo Ray was thinking, the prompt sound rang again.
[Respected Lord, congratulations! You are the first person in the world to upgrade to a 4th-Class Mansion! Would you like to publicly announce your name on a global bulletin?]
After a moment of hesitation, Leo Ray responded: "Don't reveal!"
Undoubtedly, since he had recently appeared as a big black-hearted dog user, obtaining massive resources, it was natural for the Anonymous Bigshot to upgrade to a 4th-Class Mansion.
This way, everything appears logical.
Let this fictitious identity attract everyone's attention once again.
Immediately after that, a sudden thunderous sound echoed in the ears of a billion Lords!
[Congratulations Anonymous Lord, the first globally to upgrade to a 4th-Class Lord's Mansion! Reward: one Tier 4 random equipment item and one Tier 4 random equipment blueprint!]
For a moment, whether it was regional channels within their own country or those from other lands, all Lords put aside their current tasks and began flooding the screen!
Domestic Lords' reactions were relatively normal. After all, they saw Anonymous Bigshot accumulating massive resources in the Trading Center throughout the morning.
They had more or less prepared themselves mentally. Besides their criticism of the high price and the black-hearted nature of the transaction, there was mainly excitement and elation.
After all, the third global first place had fallen firmly into the hands of the Summer Realm!
Anonymous Bigshot's reputation was at its peak. At the same time, many foreign lands were caught in a completely different scene, filled with sarcastic and resentful comments. Of course, the underlying envy was also quite evident.
Meanwhile, some allied lands clapped and cheered each other on, shouting "666" constantly. We won't go into further detail here.
Leo Ray, the protagonist who caused the billion Lords' collective commotion, had already jumped up to his inventory space to collect his rewards.
[Congratulations, you have acquired 'Tier 4 Accessory: Blessing of the Southern Cross Star'!]
[Congratulations, you have acquired 'Tier 4 Shield Blueprint: Gaea's Shield'!]
"Tier 4 Accessory?" Seeing this, curiosity couldn't help but appear on Leo Ray's face.
Without a doubt, this was the first piece of equipment he had acquired, apart from weapons and armor.
Next, instead of rushing to upgrade, he took out the rewarded Accessory to examine it and make his plans.
In the next second, a flash of white light revealed an oval-shaped pendant inset with a deep blue gem in Leo Ray's hand.
Upon closer inspection, the pendant was incredibly simple in design, only adorned with an unremarkable silver metal chain and lacking any other decorations.
However, the crystal clear deep blue gem itself was extremely eye-catching, with traces of golden energy coursing through it.
It looked like a brilliant starry sky, leaving one in awe.
He opened his Attribute Column without hesitation.
[Name: Blessing of the Southern Cross Star]
[Grade: Tier 4 -Epic (Purple)]
[Defense Strength: None]
[Additional Effect: Star Protection 'Resist one Tier 4 or below fatal damage (Charging Time: 24 hours)']
[Note: It is said that this pendant was crafted from fragments of a meteorite and was once one of a certain country's royal treasures. It can automatically gather the power of the stars and protect the wearer from one fatal injury at a critical moment.]
"Wow, this is an indispensable life-saving artifact for home and travel! And it can take effect once every day!"
Seeing this, Leo Ray's face instantly showed a mix of surprise and joy.
