After tallying the number of Spirit Cores and Mithril, Han Xing continued to count other material resources.

Hundreds of thousands of Rare Earths, Ether, along with tens of thousands of Power Crystals, Magic Crystals, as well as Blood of the Strong and various One-Star Beast Hides, and so on.

And most importantly, he exchanged for more than 20 pieces of Moon Crystal Stone, a key material needed to craft the Purple Weapon, the Moon Crown Longbow.

In other words, Han Xing could now craft four Purple Weapons at once!

But he didn't craft them immediately because his level wasn't high enough to equip them even if he made them.

It's not too late to craft them when he reaches Level 6.

Then, Han Xing stuffed all these materials in the Sky Island Territory into the Storage Box.

The crowded Sky Island Territory became spacious once again.

Han Xing casually grabbed a small folding stool, placed it under himself, and took out a blueprint from his backpack to study.

This was something he exchanged from the Whisperer yesterday during the first auction of the Life Secret Elixir, called the Basic Castle Construction Blueprint.

Just then, a cute animal sound rang out.

"Awoo!"

Coal Ball suddenly jumped onto Han Xing's knee, poking its little head out, seemingly curious about what its master was looking at.

Han Xing lifted Coal Ball with one hand, placed it on his shoulder, patted its little head, and said, "Don't cause trouble for me, I'll take you out for some activities tomorrow."

These past two days, Han Xing hadn't explored the Sky Island, and this energetic little creature had nowhere to vent, almost going mad with energy.

"Awoo~"

Coal Ball responded obediently, raising its head.

After pacifying this little fellow, Han Xing turned his attention back to the blueprint in his hand.

[Basic Castle Construction Blueprint: A Territorial Building, Survivors can construct a Basic Castle within the territory.]

[Basic Castle: Defense Value 1000, can increase the Defense Value of all defensive buildings within the territory by 20%, Attack Power of all offensive buildings by 10%, All Attributes of all friendly units by 10%, and movement speed in Sky Island Territory by 10%.]

[Materials needed for constructing a Basic Castle: Stone Block*100000, Wood*20000, Spirit Core*50000, Refined Iron*50000, Rare Earth*90000, Mithril*8000, Power Crystal*5000, Magic Crystal*5000.]

Note: When constructing the Basic Castle, the territory area needs to be larger than 1000 square meters, and at least 400 square meters of open space must be reserved.

Seeing that the materials were all in tens of thousands, Han Xing suddenly realized that this might not be something feasible at the current stage.

At this stage, which Survivor could produce so many materials at once?

Of course, except for him.

No wonder that Whisperer chose to trade out this blueprint because even with the 'Divine Whisper' team supporting him, gathering all these materials would take a long time.

Han Xing said with some surprise, "So many materials, even before trading the Life Secret Elixir, my reserves wouldn't have been enough."

"However, the effects of this castle are truly powerful; just being in the territory gives me a 10% attribute boost."

Moreover, this attribute boost doesn't just enhance Han Xing; all allies within the territory, including pets, summoned creatures, and subordinates, can also enjoy the bonus!

"But what is the concept of this 1000 Defense Value, can it withstand the onslaught of an Elite Monster?"

Han Xing was uncertain, but thinking about having no house, where all his furniture had to be placed outdoors, he decided instantly to go for it!

No matter what other effects this castle has, it could at least serve as a shelter against the wind and rain!

With this thought in mind, Han Xing moved all the furniture from the center of the territory to the side, leaving a sufficiently spacious area.

In the next moment, he clicked on 'Build.'

The castle blueprint in his hand disappeared, and then a system notification appeared.

"Territorial Building: Basic Castle is under construction, estimated remaining time 32 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds..."

"Basic Castle Construction Blueprint has been automatically recorded in the territory function page."

After the system notification appeared,

Han Xing saw that a large area in the center of his territory was marked off, like the outline of a rectangle.

A bluish-gray mist suddenly rose within the area.

Meanwhile, a large amount of materials disappeared from his Storage Box.

Soon after, the foundation framework of the castle was erected.

Han Xing roughly calculated in his mind that the maximum diameter of the castle was 39 meters, covering an area of about three hundred square meters, not very large.

But if it were merely used as a residence, it would be an undisputed big house, a mansion!

On Blue Star, constructing such a castle would cost several million in funds.

Han Xing imagined expectantly what the finished castle would look like.

According to the sketch on the blueprint, it's a retro-style European building, divided into upper, middle, and lower sections, each corner of every level has an outward extending tower, with windows in the middle of the tower.

In the center of the building stands a tower tens of meters high, with flags fluttering at its top.

Han Xing excitedly said, "Finally, in this world, I'll have a place to call home!"

After his anticipation, Han Xing found a sofa he had made nearby and lay directly on it.

His tense nerves began to relax as fatigue hit him like a tide.

The last two days had been incredibly busy, and although the gains were astounding, it was indeed tiring.

Han Xing stared blankly at the bright night sky, feeling the comfortable breeze.

At some point, the little Coal Ball also jumped onto the sofa, lying at his feet, lightly snoring.

And just like that, the two of them fell asleep.

...

The next day.

It was the tenth day since all Blue Star humans arrived in this world.

As soon as Han Xing woke up, a system notification suddenly appeared in everyone's mind.

System: "Attention all Survivors."

"It has been ten days since you entered 'Sky Island Paradise' and you have adapted to this world."

"The new game version is now live, and new challenge instances, Cloud Secret Realm will soon open."

"Cloud Secret Realms are randomly generated, Survivors can find clouds with vortex symbols nearby, inside are randomly generated Cloud Secret Realms."

"Note: Cloud Secret Realms are different from other Sky Island Territories, once entered you will be transported to a special scenario, and the monsters in each scenario vary."

"Cloud Secret Realm difficulties range from 1-star to 5-star, with different player limits for each star level. The higher the star level, the greater the danger; Survivors should choose carefully!"

"Currently, the highest generated difficulty for Secret Realms is 2 stars."

"Success in the Cloud Secret Realms will earn you valuable items and significant rewards, including but not limited to Blue, Purple Equipment, Advanced Profession Scrolls, Rune Blueprints, Rune Crystals, and Strong Fragments!"
