Zong Shen held in his hand an almost broken broadsword.
This excellent-level broadsword was acquired back when he killed the fierce bandit Carlisle.
Having used it until now, it could be considered an old friend of Zong Shen's.
Although its slashing damage has beco sowhat inadequate for Zong Shen's current circumstances.
It is still quite handy for quickly clearing small monsters.
"Shouldn't I let the dwarf uncle repair it?"
"But this thing doesn't have much value anymore."
Zong Shen looked at the twisted blade and cracked edge of the broadsword in his hand, ultimately shaking his head.
He dismissed the idea of repairing it.
Now he still had a backup from the Sewn Monster Pato, the [Cruel Butcher's Knife], and the Avalon Guard Battle Sword.
These were all blue excellent-grade backup weapons.
Recently, he had opened quite a few treasure chests and explored so ruins, stubbornly finding a suitable weapon.
This made Zong Shen a bit frustrated.
The previous points exchange also led Zong Shen to selectively ignore those rare-level weapons and equipnt.
At the ti, the exchange often included orange legendary or golden epic-level weapons, making Zong Shen sowhat overconfident.
The main issue was that the rare-level equipnt exchange was limited in the points system, allowing only three entries. Zong Shen chose to exchange equipnt for his subordinates.
In his original thinking, the difference in combat power between using rare-level and excellent-level weapons was not significant for him.
The reasoning was that with his powerful attribute boosts, even excellent-level weapons could exert considerable combat power.
Rare-level and excellent-level weapons only differed by a re ten or twenty points in slashing damage.
Excluding the flashy skills attached to such equipnt, the difference was indeed not significant for Zong Shen.
It's only when it cos to orange legendary-level that relatively noticeable differences beco apparent.
Zong Shen casually tossed the soon-to-be-scrapped broadsword onto the smashed magic money box.
All these were treated as scrap.
With a little tinkering from the dwarf uncle, it's still possible to salvage so materials.
Ever since the newbie stage rule challenge.
Besides treasure chests, everything else requires manual disassembly.
Compared to before, disassembly now is more cumberso and ti-consuming.
Requiring extra labor effort.
Just as Zong Shen was stepping into the courtyard, he suddenly recalled the [Fourth-level City Lord's Mansion Upgrade Certificate] he obtained after completing the [Investigate Evans] task.
Coincidentally, there was nobody else in the lord's small tower at this mont.
Marie had gone to find Alanna, and the ranger sisters were helping in the tailor shop.
After Tasuya and Aisha received their cold-resistant suits, they went to the magic hall.
This was a perfect mont to upgrade the City Lord's Mansion.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen walked out of the lord's courtyard once more.
Taking out the upgrade certificate, he chose to use it without any hesitation.
The upgrade certificate in his hand transford directly into a ball of light and rged into the courtyard.
Instantly, the entire courtyard turned into a massive yet not dazzling light.
Zong Shen could feel the land beneath his feet tremble like ripples.
In just a breath, the light quickly subsided.
The upgrade to the fourth-level lord's mansion was completed!
The entire lord's courtyard expanded once more.
The total area increased to 40 ters by 40 ters, from nine hundred square ters at the third level to twelve hundred square ters.
The courtyard walls beca thicker, and its height increased by 0.5 ters, reaching 3.5 ters.
The durability value reached 2500 points, which is comparable to second-tier to third-tier city walls in terms of sturdiness.
The lord's small tower was upgraded and expanded again, turning from a three-story to a four-story tower.
There was a large terrace on the front of the second and third floors, with a side platform as well.
The overall shape appeared more three-dinsional.
There were also exquisite carvings under the eaves.
The whole body still displayed a gray color, with natural stone patterns.
As in previous upgrades, the area of the lord's courtyard expanded, with the surrounding land and buildings extending outward equidistantly.
This resulted in noticeable gaps at the four junctions of the enclosing inner city walls.
However, this is not significant, as the inner city district had already been replanned.
Eventually, it would need to be rebuilt according to the revised plan requirents.
Upgrading the City Lord's Mansion involved advanced space rules.
This thod of extending space from nothing could potentially impact the future layout.
However, overall, it's not a significant problem; just filling the gaps and missing parts later will suffice.
The space of the lord's mansion is relatively independent and will not affect the reserved spaces within the city later.
The fourth-level City Lord's Mansion is now more spacious and grand.
Of course, the current City Lord's Mansion still cannot compare with Baron Bezos's castle, which covers hundreds of thousands of square ters, or even with Evans's manor mansion.
However, considering that the current City Lord's Mansion just reached the fourth level, there is much room for future improvent.
Zong Shen believes that in the future, his lord's courtyard will definitely transform into a magnificent castle.
Baron Bezos's castle had beco a benchmark in Zong Shen's mind.
To Zong Shen, who ca from Earth, such a castle only existed in the news.
The entire central area was filled with vast greenery and gardens.
It could even accommodate a golf course.
Entering and exiting would require either taking a carriage or riding a mount.
After the expansion of the lord's small tower, aside from the first floor, each floor now had six rooms.
