Chapter 122: Upgrading the summoning portal
Ethan approached the Gate of Summoning, studying its current specifications with calculating eyes.
[Building Name: Gate of Summoning]
[Building Tier: 2]
[Building Effect: Every day, eight natives of the First Sanctuary can be summoned to become subjects of the Lord. One professional-class summon is guaranteed per daily activation.]
[Construction Upgrade: 200 units of Wood, 200 units of Stone, 200 units of sand, 75 Bronze-rank Monster cores, 25 Silver-rank Monster Cores]
[Do you want to summon (8)?] [Yes| No]
The upgrade requirements are within reach. Almost.
His current reserves held sufficient wood, stone, and sand for the enhancement. The bronze cores weren't an issue either—his storage rings contained plenty from recent hunting expeditions. But the silver cores posed a problem.
Need twenty-five silver cores. Current count is fifteen.
The deficit was manageable through jungle hunting. Silver-rank creatures populated the forest in sufficient numbers to meet his requirements quickly.
Back to the hunting grounds.
Ethan activated his Enhanced Speed talent, reality blurring as he crossed the distance between territory and jungle boundary. The familiar transition from desert sand to forest loam marked his return to the most productive hunting ground he'd discovered.
