At this moment, Mike had no idea that he was being targeted by someone who wanted to overtake him.

He was commanding Tyrell to go out hunting.

He was leisurely lying on a rocking chair.

After all, although his strength had reached tier 3, it was better for him to wait until he was stronger and had the ability to protect himself before going out hunting.

Mike looked at the notification in the [space exchange].

The food on the shelves was being bought by the castle lords one after another.

If it was double the black price, no one would pay attention to it.

But now, he had adjusted the exchange price and fixed it at a fair price.

In addition, although his reputation was not that good, his popularity was the highest among all the Castle Lords.

There were more people who knew him than the ‘goddess Bella’.

Therefore, there were more people who could buy the food he sold.

In the trading area, he was the one who sold the most food.

This was the celebrity effect.

“At this speed.”

“In half an hour at most, the food I sold will be sold out.”

“Unfortunately, I can only buy wood and stones.”

“There are no energy stones and no refined iron.”

Mike sighed softly.

Energy stones could be obtained by killing monsters in the wild.

However, Mike did not know how to obtain refined iron.

Was he going to mine for iron?

However, it was obvious that this was not suitable for dragons, especially since he only had two under him. It would be a waste of time if he were to mine for iron.

It seemed like he had to think of a way.

Soon, half an hour passed.

The food on Mike’s shelves was also sold out.

Looking at the notification, Mike was slightly disappointed.

All the food was only exchanged for 10,000 units of wood and 2,500 units of stones.

There were no energy stones or refined iron.

However, he also understood that this was normal.

Energy stones could be used to upgrade military structures, and they could only be obtained by killing monsters in the wild. At this stage, they were very precious.

After all, with every increase in the strength of the military, the overall strength of the castle would also increase by a little.

Fine iron, compared to wood and stones, was considered a relatively high-level material.

Even he did not know how to obtain it.

Should he directly take it, mining iron ore or smelting and forging it?

If it was the latter, then it would be more difficult to obtain it.

“Want to upgrade the castle into a town?”

“The difficulty is still not small!”

As if he thought of something, Mike opened his [friend information].

This morning, there were more than 30 million Castle Lords who requested to add him as a friend, and they wrote all kinds of messages.

Mike looked at these messages, but he did not reject them one by one.

He searched for the keyword, [fine iron].

Immediately, there were only more than a million messages left to add, and the rest were all deleted.

In the remaining messages, most people asked him how to obtain fine iron, or what the use of fine iron was.

Of course, fine iron was used to upgrade a town.

As for how to obtain fine iron, he did not even know.

Then he changed the search keyword: I have fine iron, sell fine iron, and so on.

In an instant, out of more than a million messages, only a dozen were left.

Some Castle Lords claimed that they had accidentally obtained dozens of units of refined iron and wanted to sell them to Mike at a high price.

Delete!!

Some Castle Lords claimed that they had accidentally found an iron mine and wanted to cooperate with Mike to mine it… Mike provided food, and he provided Mike with refined iron in the future…

Blacklisted!!

All the messages were scanned.

Mike only left one.

[Lin Yaoyao requests to add as a friend.]

[Remarks: Big Mike, Yaoyao has refined iron! A lot! Yaoyao wants to buy food from Big Mike, a lot of food! Big Mike, quickly add me as a friend!]

“This should be reliable!”

Mike Thought for a moment and added his first friend since he entered the foreign land.

Then he sent a message over. “How did you get your refined iron? How much is it?”

After sending the message, Mike turned off his [friend message].

After all, it was still daytime, and the other party was busy. He could get a reply at night.

The day did not pass slowly.

In the blink of an eye, it was evening.

Today’s harvest was not slow compared to yesterday.

Firstly, the number of dragons had increased, and their strength had also increased.

Secondly, because of the upgrade of the Dragon King Castle, the area of influence had expanded to 2,000 meters, and the number of monsters in the wild had increased.

Of course, the dragons could also go outside the castle’s area of influence to hunt.

However, this would also increase the risk.

Outside the area of influence represented the unknown.

There might be an uncontrollable risk.

Therefore, Mike only let Tyrell and Barr to hunt within the sphere of influence for the time being.

If they encountered danger, they could quickly retreat back to the castle.

Moreover, 2,000 meters was already a very large area, with an extremely large number of wild monsters. It was completely enough for them to hunt.

There was no need to go out and take risks.

“My Lord, when we were hunting, we found some unusual signs.”

Tyrell said respectfully in front of Mike.

“Explain in detail!”

Mike immediately thought of the local forces in the forest of extinction.

He had received [special reminder] during the two upgrades of Dragon King Castle.

Some local forces in the forest of extinction had noticed him.

It was normal for them to appear now.

Tyrell continued to speak respectfully, “We have investigated and tracked those traces. In the end, we found out that they are not monsters in the wild, but a group of green-skinned creatures!”

“Green-skinned creatures?”

“Yes, my Lord.”

Tyrell nodded. “They are wearing tattered leather armor and holding different types of weapons. They have the language of their race, so they are obviously intelligent.”

“Their strength is around tier 3.”

“The strongest has reached tier 4 elite.”

“They have many people, more than 40, but they are timid.”

“When they noticed us, they fled in panic.”

“In the end, they ran out of the castle’s area of influence. Without your orders, we did not dare to chase them anymore!”

Mike pondered for a moment, and said, “those who come are not kind, and those who are kind will not come!”

“Be more vigilant tonight.”

“I’m not wrong. Under the cover of the night, they might approach the castle.”

“When the time comes, take the initiative to attack and capture them all in one go!”

If they came with a friendly purpose, they would definitely not turn around and flee after being discovered.

Obviously, they were ‘enemy forces’.

They had bad intentions!!

To these enemies, of course, they would kill as many as they came.

After all, they could also be considered as the experience monsters of the giant dragons!

“Barr, don’t go out hunting wild monsters tonight. Stay in the castle and be on guard at all times!”

“Yes, my Lord”

Barr and Tyrell were patrolling around the castle, in case the green-skinned creatures suddenly attacked.
