A/n thank you Chris_Rayes_3054 thanks for the powers stone. 100 power stones for extra chapter. Now to today's chapter.

Shin headed outside to see if John had set up any interviews for advisory roles before using his recruitment scrolls.

He called for the four candidates who had already completed the registration process.

The first candidate was Wendy, a 25-year-old brunette, standing 5'8" tall, with sea-blue eyes.

Using his All-Seeing Eye, Shin examined her and discovered she had high potential in civil affairs.

"I see great promise in you," Shin said, smiling. "There's going to be a population increase today, and I'd like you to take an advisory role."

Wendy eagerly agreed.

After they shook hands, Shin asked her to send in the next candidate and assist John in completing the registration of the current villagers.

While waiting, Shin placed all his new mines, houses, and the Ascension Tower in the designated areas.

Using Harem Talk, he reached out to his wives.

"How many more people are left to register?"

Shego responded, "Only 10 left, honey."

"Got it," Shin replied before using a large recruitment scroll.

Ding!

A portal opened, and 100 single men and women in their twenties emerged.

Velzard's voice echoed in his mind.

"The portal brought the new civilians. What are your orders, my love?"

"Register them first," Shin instructed. "After that, send them to the new houses. If any stand out as potential recruits, assign them to the two new armies. If they're skilled in civil service, add them to the administrative line. And if they're suited for work in the manor, have John's family interview them—or you and Shego can handle that."

"Understood," Velzard responded softly.

After giving his orders, Shin interviewed Mark, the second candidate.

Mark was a 6'9" muscular man with brown eyes and long black hair.

Using his All-Seeing Eye, Shin discovered that Mark had the talent of an ambassador.

"Welcome aboard," Shin said with a firm handshake.

After Mark, Shin hired two more ambassadors, a treasurer, and three civil servants.

Ding!

• Progress: 173,000 km² / 500,000 km²

2. Gather the materials needed to upgrade Dragon Mountain to its legendary form.

Required Materials:

• 10 Emperor-level Monster Crystals

• 100 Tons of Gold

• 50 Tons of Centennial Serpentine Wood

• 100 Tons of Legendary Essence

"Heart, what are the advantages of upgrading Dragon Mountain?"

Heart's soothing voice echoed in Shin's mind.

"Host, upgrading Dragon Mountain will provide the following benefits:

• Increases training efficiency for all troops by 20%.

• Increases training efficiency by 30% for troops of dragon descent or those transformed by your blood.

• Enhances the fertility of all dragon descendants and Dragonborn.

• Reduces dragon pregnancy duration from two years to just nine months without any adverse effects.

• Increases mana concentration throughout the territory.

• Boosts the likelihood of attracting dragons and other creatures with dragon blood to your territory.

• Strengthens overall territory defense and power."

Shin's eyes widened.

"Damn… that's incredible."

"Indeed," Heart replied with a hint of amusement.

"I'll bring this up at the meeting. We need to start gathering the materials as soon as possible."

"Heart, what are Emperor-level Monster Cores?"

"Host," Heart began, "these cores are found in monsters that rule over a force, such as a Goblin Emperor or equivalent. The stronger the core, the greater the benefits. However, host…"

"What's the catch?" Shin asked, narrowing his eyes.

"The stronger the core, the higher the chance of causing a positive mutation in Dragon Mountain. But…"

"But?"

"It will also attract powerful enemies who covet the mountain's power."

Shin smirked.

"Anyone who tries to take my birthright will be buried under that mountain."

"Well said, Host."

Current Objectives:

• Upgrade Dragon Mountain to Level 2.

• Gather the necessary materials.

• Prepare for possible invasions after the upgrade.

Shin's mind was already calculating strategies and forming plans. This was just the beginning.

"Let's see who dares to challenge me."
