...
This time, with the territory level upgrade, Karen received far greater personal rewards than when he advanced to level two.
However, Karen's immediate attention was not on his own gains, but rather on the upgraded "Large Graveyard" and the attributes of Little Green.

Seeing the "Large Graveyard" and Little Green's attributes, Karen felt somewhat disappointed; neither had changed significantly.
Especially the "Large Graveyard"—Karen had expected new functions, as with the level two upgrade, but none appeared. The only improvements were the daily territory energy rising to 300 and the ability to convert Third Tier undead.
With a touch of regret, Karen opened the undead conversion menu in the "Large Graveyard," preparing to convert his two Third Tier corpses in the territory, hoping to enhance his elite fighting force.
But as soon as he started, his heart skipped a beat.
"Seriously? Is it really this expensive? Third Tier undead conversion starts at 2000!"
Although Karen had anticipated that converting Third Tier undead would be much costlier than Second Tier, he hadn't expected it to leap so high, directly into the thousands.
And this was only the price for undead conversion, not including fusion or other costs. For Karen at this stage, the price was daunting.
With such a system, upgrading the territory to level four would require tens or hundreds of thousands—virtually impossible!
But right now, Karen had no choice. He couldn't negotiate with the system, nor could he worry about future upgrades. Gritting his teeth, he converted both Third Tier corpses into undead.
[Ding, you have consumed 4000 territory energy, successfully converted two Third Tier ordinary undead (Goblin Skeleton Chieftains)!]
...
Goblin Skeleton Chieftain

Strength: Third Tier (Ordinary) (0/20000)

Talent: Goblin Command lv1
Goblin Command: Mutated talent; when actively used, increases the attributes of subordinate goblin undead by 10%.
Ps: Each Third Tier goblin can command up to 500 goblin undead subordinates
...
Looking over the attributes of the "Goblin Skeleton Chieftain," Karen nodded in satisfaction. The stats were decent, and from the numbers, they didn't seem much inferior to Little Green. As for actual combat prowess?
Karen glanced over and saw the two "Goblin Skeleton Chieftains" swaggering over with their minions, 'clacking' as they disciplined Little Green—the third-ranking undead in the territory—asserting their newfound status.
"Looks like Little Green is still a bit stronger than these two!"
This made Karen even more curious about the source of Little Green's power, but now was clearly not the time to investigate.
He withdrew his gaze, glanced at the remaining 8632 territory energy on his attribute panel, hesitated briefly, then opened the "Territory Shop" and used both rewards acquired from the upgrade.
[Ding, you have used "Basic Lottery" and obtained a "Blueprint for the Tower of Bones"!]
[Ding, you have used the product catalogue draw and acquired catalogue "Bone Spear"!]
...

...
Bone Spear
Product Level: Ordinary
Product Price: 100 territory energy
Product Description: Special undead weapon; grants automatic acquisition of lv3 "Thrust" skill!
Ps: For undead use only
...
Karen glanced at the blueprint for the Tower of Bones and felt no urge to claim it; he couldn't build it any time soon. However, the new "Bone Spear" piqued his interest.
After a brief hesitation, Karen spent 3500 territory energy to convert 10 Goblin Skeleton Warriors.
He then used 5000 territory energy to purchase 25 Bone Bows and 25 Bone Spears, arming his 50 Second Tier Goblin Skeleton Warriors.
With this expenditure, Karen had essentially spent all his available resources.
Of course, with over twenty thousand territory energy invested, his strength had risen significantly.
Given his current power, if it were just a wraith, he should be able to defeat it with all his might!
