15 Chapter 15: Reverse Inference_1

Next, Leo Ray took Serena and Stella on a tour around the territory and then ordered them to move around freely in the area.

Leo Ray sat back down on the stone steps at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, pondering his next move.

At present, his top priority was to upgrade the Lord's Mansion as soon as possible.

Undoubtedly, only by advancing to a higher level, could he increase the population limit, unlock more buildings and functions, and further strengthen his own power.

"But the problem is the second-class resources of copper ore and iron ore..."

With a slight frown, Leo Ray opened the Trading Center, holding a faint hope, and started searching using the keywords.

As expected, there was still no gain, as no one was selling these two second-class resources.

"If only these resources could be upgraded using talents..."

Thinking of this, he shook his head helplessly.

Of course, this wasn't realistic.

Though upgrading stones might be reasonable, it was unimaginable what kind of transformation would occur if wood and thatch could be upgraded as well.

While contemplating, Leo Ray clicked into the Chat Channel again.

At this moment, the channel was as lively as ever.

Most people were discussing their first night in the parallel world.

However, judging from the conversations, it seemed that many had some embarrassing experiences.

"Sigh, a strong wind blew last night, lifted my roof right off, and one of my farmers was blown away. Still haven't found him!"

"I'm not much better. There was a heavy rainstorm, and my wooden house turned into a waterfall cave in an instant!"

"What do you guys have to complain about? My territory is by the beach. When the tide rose at midnight, I found myself floating while asleep!"

"The good news is that I can summon two more Tier 1 subordinates today. That means I'll have four little brothers, hahaha!"

"Idiot, have you solved your food problem? Be careful not to summon two dads!"

"I couldn't help but shake: a dad's dad is a grandpa..."

…

With a slight curl of his lips, Leo Ray switched to a new Chat Channel.

"People in the Chat Channel, I just found a fresh bird egg! Rich in protein and vitamins A, B, C, D, and E! You'll be as strong as two farmers after eating! The market price is at least 10 pounds of meat! Now, I'm saying one number, 1 pound of meat!!"

"Babies, an ultimate seafood feast! One 5cm precious deep-sea fish + one 1cm giant lobster, now including four pieces of millennium goose pebbles. Today, only one pound of wild vegetables or fruits needed to exchange!"

"You two young people above, are you happy? You've all crossed over and still think about making profits daily. The water is deep here; can you handle it?"

…

Seeing this, Leo Ray couldn't help but show a wry smile.

It seemed that it wouldn't be long before a new industry emerged in this parallel world.

After closing the chat center, Leo Ray frowned once more.

He still hadn't found a solution to upgrade the mansion after browsing through the Trading Center and Chat Channel.

"There are no ore veins around my territory, and no one is selling in the trading center...

Is there really no other way to obtain copper ore and iron ore?"

Just as Leo Ray was deep in thought, he happened to see Gavin Sullivan leading a group of farmers, pushing carts loaded with wood.

On the other side, seeing the Lord, the group immediately bowed in salute.

Leo Ray waved his hand, allowing them to continue their work.

At this moment, Leo Ray's gaze unintentionally fell on the logging axes attached to the waists of the subordinates.

After staring at it for a while, he suddenly thought of something and showed a look of sudden realization!

"That's right! Although this rough logging axe doesn't meet the standard of a Tier 1 weapon.But from another perspective, it could also be considered a weapon.

Considering this, can they also be upgraded?"

Realizing this, Leo Ray's eyes lit up, and he immediately went back to the Mansion to test his conjecture.

If these tools can indeed be upgraded,

then, once a qualitative change occurs, they might just upgrade into iron or copper products!

By then, dismantling them through the storage space would easily solve the iron and copper problem, right?

With that thought, Leo Ray began crafting with great excitement.

[You have consumed Wood x1, Stone x1]

[Crafting "Crude Logging Axe," please wait...]

[Congratulations, you have obtained "Crude Logging Axe"!]

Leo Ray sent the Logging Axe directly into his storage space without hesitation and immediately began the upgrade.

[Congratulations, your "Crude Logging Axe" has been upgraded to "Crude Logging Axe" 105 times!]

"Wow, it can really be upgraded!"

Although it was just a quantitative change this time, Leo Ray's face still showed excitement.

This proves that his idea is feasible!

"Let's try dismantling it!"

[You dismantled "Crude Logging Axe" 105 times, gaining Wood x105 and Stone x105!]

"The materials are the same as what was needed for crafting, and there's no loss after dismantling!"

Seeing this, an excited Leo Ray couldn't help but hum an energetic tune and even did a little dance.

As the wooden box that served as storage space was placed at the entrance of the Lord's Mansion, his sudden action startled Gavin Sullivan and others who were just returning after unloading some wood.

Watching their lord's mysterious dance moves, the group was dumbfounded, casting even more reverential glances toward Leo Ray...

Anyway, after that, Leo Ray crafted several more "Crude Logging Axes," "Crude Stone Pickaxes," and "Crude Sickles."

He started upgrading them together.

[Congratulations, your "Crude Logging Axe" has been upgraded to "Crude Logging Axe" 105 times!]

[Congratulations, your "Crude Logging Axe" has been upgraded to "Exquisite Logging Axe"!]

[Congratulations, your "Crude Stone Pickaxe" has been upgraded to "Crude Stone Pickaxe" 99 times!]

[Congratulations, your "Crude Stone Pickaxe" has been upgraded to "Exquisite Stone Pickaxe"!]

[Congratulations, your "Crude Sickle" has been upgraded to "Crude Sickle" 102 times!]

[Congratulations, your "Crude Sickle" has been upgraded to "Exquisite Sickle"!]

Looking at the three types of craftable tool-class weapons, each had undergone a qualitative change.

With a flicker of his mind, a brand new Logging Axe with significantly better craftsmanship appeared in his hand.

Most importantly, just as he had predicted, the ax head had changed from a stone material to a metal one!

Without hesitation, he disassembled it right away.

[You dismantled the "Exquisite Logging Axe," gaining Wood x1 and Iron Ore x1!]

[You dismantled the "Exquisite Stone Pickaxe," gaining Wood x1 and Iron Ore x1!]

[You dismantled the "Exquisite Sickle," gaining Wood x1 and Copper Ore x1!]

Hearing this, Leo Ray's face lit up with joy.

With this, the problems of copper ore and iron ore were finally perfectly solved!
