After Richard had recruited the five undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead troop, he immediately bestowed the Sand Transformation skill to all his troops.

This godly skill, which made countless contributions, had become the standard of Twilight City.

Looking at the powerful troop before him, he was in a joyous state of mind.

He looked at the other 15 undead soldiers. He could also upgrade to rare with the troop’s lair’s improvement.

However, after he looked at the attributes panel, he suddenly had a bizarre expression.

The resources needed to upgrade the troop were the same resources needed to recruit troops. There was no discount at all.

It would cost 60,000 gold coins, 60,000 units of wood, and 60,000 units of iron ore for 15 undead soldiers of Axe of the Dead troop to reach the rare-level upgrade.

It was 180,000 gold coins in total… It was simply a killer upgrade.

“So poor.”

Richard looked up to the sky and sighed.

He has already exerted extra effort in the speed of earning resources, but in the end, it was still not enough.

The troop lairs were bottomless pits. If one wanted to cultivate them, the investment was endless.

“This is only a troop lair. I still have Poisonous Scorpion Warrior and Cursed Pharaoh… In the future, the troop cultivating speed may not be so fast. No, it seemed we still have to train some elites and rare-level troops to match. Only high-level troops. This consumption is too terrifying. We still have to think of other ways to get resources. To rely on hunting alone, how many troops will we have to hunt to reach a high level? Trade, trade…”

It was rare to reach the glorious level and required 10,000 unit lairs. It was five million units of resources.

It would take more than a month to do so without considering other expenses with the current speed of accumulation… It was not something solved in a short period.

After Richard sorted out his thoughts, his gaze gradually returned to calmness.

“From the looks of it, I can first upgrade the Bandaged Mummy to rare-level. Three troop lairs only consume 150,000 units of resources. After the lair upgrade, I can also upgrade six small teams’ troop lairs to a rare level. I can have a squadron of rare soldiers with this. I can surely raid that one-star dungeon…”

He had thought about that one-way portal for a long time.

However, the Black Gold System had mentioned that the average strength of the soldiers inside was rare.

At this time, as long as he upgrades the Bandaged Mummy, there would be the rare-level Axe of the Dead and Gray, the insanely powerful A-rank hero.

The strength in his hands was enough to conquer that instance dungeon.

Richard, who was vastly mobile and with a plan in mind, immediately began to carry out his plan.

In the early morning of May 16, he and Gray led their respective troops out to hunt.

Even so, he still felt that the resource collection speed was too slow.

That night, Richard and Gray began to hunt around Twilight City.

Although the danger level of hunting in the wild had increased a lot, the harvest had also increased significantly under the high intensity of the battle.
