Chapter 23: Unexpected Upgrade! Hidden Function of the Dragon Nest!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As usual, Mike first collected the corpses piled up in the yard.
Today was already the fifth night. There were only two more nights before the novice period ended.
The collected food was first put on the shelf in the [space exchange].
The other monster materials were stored in the warehouse and would be transferred to the little loli the next night.
Mike looked at Barr and Tyrell and said,
“Let’s rest in the Castle Tonight!”
“It seems that things won’t be peaceful in the next few nights!”
“Yes, my Lord!”
Tyrell and Barr began to patrol the vicinity of the castle.
Mike looked at the dragon nest.
He had hunted all afternoon.
He had also obtained a lot of energy stones.
A total of 80!
He was only one step away from upgrading to a dragon nest.
Once another dragon hatched, Mike’s strength would increase greatly.
Mike was now eyeing the dragon that had raided the castle.
“I wonder if that dragon has a population.!”

“If it does, I wonder how strong the population is!”
After Mike finished collecting the corpses, he looked at the dragon nest and whispered a few words.
Then, he returned to the bedroom of the castle.
He chatted with the little loli for a while.
Then, he browsed through the messages on the world chat channel for a while before falling into a deep sleep.
Even though it was late at night, the world chat channel was still lively.
Many Castle Lords had nothing to do, and they were discussing how terrifying the night on the Otherworld Continent was.
In addition, the protection period was about to end.
Many Castle Lords were also active, although each person could only send one message a day.
However, there were billions of Castle Lords, and the most popular one every day was the [world chat channel].
The Castle Lords who were discussing the night.
Some Castle Lords did not believe it and thought that they were strong. They sent troops out to hunt, but in the end, they were all wiped out, and they vomited blood.
Some Castle Lords had experienced blood and tears before.
But there were always some who were very confident.
They also liked to take risks.
They wanted to use the night hunting to widen the gap between them and the other Castle Lords. They even wanted to surpass Mike.
But in the end, they suffered heavy losses and regretted it.
They did not know.
Even Mike did not dare to let Barr go out to take risks now.
Let alone them?
In short.
At this stage, for the Castle Lord.
The Otherworld Continent at night was very dangerous.
Moreover, the Castle Lords had to speed up their improvement.
At the very least, they had to clear out all the monsters within their sphere of influence.
Otherwise, once the novice period passed and the protective barrier disappeared, the Castle Lord’s territory would inevitably face the siege of monsters in the wild, not to mention the Beast Tide.
At that time, without the protection of the protective shield, the Castle Lord’s situation would not be optimistic.
The only solution was to improve the strength of his castle.
…
A night passed.
The blood moon set in the west, and the bright sun rose in the east.
The silent forest, which had been in chaos for a night, calmed down again.
The wild monsters that gathered around the Dragon King Castle at night retreated one after another.
The smart ones stayed far away from the territory of Dragon King Castle.
The stupid ones wandered around in the nearby forest.
These wild monsters would become the hunting targets of Tyrell and Barr during the day.
In the bedroom.
Mike woke up and opened the [space exchange].
All the food that was on the shelves yesterday had been sold out.
They traded for 10,000 units of wood and 3,500 units of stones.
Currently, there was still no Castle Lord willing to exchange refined iron for food.
Mike did not mind. When the little loli’s equipment was forged, it would definitely be auctioned off for a large amount of refined iron.
Moreover, the little loli was constantly providing them. It could be said that there would be no shortage.
Mike washed up and finished his breakfast.
He came to the courtyard.
“My Lord!”
Tyrell and Barr were both looking at him with reverence.
Mike nodded with a smile.
However, at this moment, he seemed to have noticed that Tyrell and Barr’s bodies had grown larger, and even their auras had grown stronger.
He was puzzled.
“Tyrell, you’ve leveled up?”
Last Night, Tyrell was only tier 5.
Today, he had actually reached tier 6. That was the strength of a commander-tier miniboss!
“Yes, my Lord!”
“After a few days of hunting, I am only a hair’s breadth away from reaching tier 6! So, I trained near the dragon nest for one night and successfully reached tier 6!”

Tyrell answered respectfully.
“Not only me, but even Barr is also the same!”
Mike looked at the two of them.
Their bodies had grown larger, their huge wings had become wider, even their dragon claws had become sharper, and the color of their dragon scales had become deeper.
Even the aura was different.
This was a pleasant surprise.
Mike thought that the two of them had secretly gone out to level up last night!
Similarly, Tyrell and Barr’s promotions had also revealed a problem.
Apart from killing enemies, soldiers could level up.
By training on their own, they could also gain energy points and level up.
However, by killing enemies, they would gain more ‘experience’.
But Mike was still more curious.
Can we cultivate near the dragon nest?
Tyrell saw that his master was a little puzzled.
He explained, “my Lord, the dragon nest is where we are hatched, so it naturally has a huge amount of energy. We can also absorb some energy from the dragon nest.”
“When master upgrades the dragon nest to a higher level, there may be unexpected functions appearing.”
“Moreover, we will also sense it. Even after we die, we can return to the dragon nest and be hatched again! Our strength will not change even if we continue to be reborn!”

“Oh? The dragon nest still has this function, why isn’t there a hint in the information template?”
“Could it be a hidden function?”
“Looks like the unique military structure is also special.”
“Maybe when I upgrade the dragon nest to a certain level, it will appear naturally!”
“Moreover, if I accidentally lose a giant dragon and can hatch from the dragon nest again, won’t that mean the dragons won’t die?”
2
“Unfortunately, the current dragon nest doesn’t seem to have reached the level and doesn’t have that function!”
This made Mike’s intent to upgrade the dragon nest even stronger.
Although Tyrell and Barr were stronger now, they were not invincible.
If they encountered high-level monsters in the wild, they could only avoid them.
If they were accidentally killed, it would be a loss for Mike’s arm!
2
Moreover, the current dragon nest obviously did not have the ability to revive them!

They still had to be careful.
Mike thought about it. In today’s hunt, he could gather 500 energy stones. If he was lucky today, he could drop the strange crystals.
Mike instructed Tyrell and Barr.
Tell them to hunt as many elite monsters as possible in the wild. That way, the chance of the strange crystals dropping would be higher.
Moreover, Tyrell and Barr’s strength had become stronger.
It was also easier to hunt some elite monsters.
At the same time, check the situation around the castle!
Hearing that, Tyrell and Barr immediately flew out of the castle and began today’s hunt.
“I hope I’ll have good luck today and drop a strange crystal!”
“We’ve been hunting monsters in the wild for the past few days, but not a single strange crystal has dropped!”
Mike looked at the two dragons flying out of the castle and whispered.
