**Chapter 6: Counterattack of Unknown Thugs**
Lei Xiao typed in the chat channel: "Since everyone is short on food, I'll take out the last 100 portions of meat to share with you all."
Of course, the primary reason Lei Xiao made this announcement was to address his own shortage of 200 units of stone. Meanwhile, as the first person in the world to upgrade to a Level 2 Lord's Mansion, his appearance in the chat channel, which was buzzing with tens of thousands of active users, instantly sent the crowd into a frenzy.
"This golden ID, this dazzling name—Brother Meng, your method worked! The great Xiaoshen has graced our channel!"
"OMG! It's really the deity, Xiaoshen! Quick, take a screenshot for posterity!"
"Xiaoshen is amazing! I just formed the first Xiaoshen fan group. Please follow us!"
"Brother Xiaoshen, look at me! If you had a girlfriend like me, what time would you come home at night? Check the private message attachment for details (Bi Xin)!"
"Upstairs, green tea-flavored sister, save it! Brother Xiaoshen definitely prefers the fiery, red-lipped, high-heeled type (air kisses)."
"By the way, where's the guy who said he'd stand upside down if Xiaoshen showed up? The bench and melon seeds are ready. When's the performance? Hahaha!"
As the chat channel exploded with excitement, Lei Xiao had already posted a new trade offer.
**[Trader: Lei Xiao]**
**[Trading: 100 portions of beef (1 portion per exchange, 0.5kg each)]**
**[Required: Stone (20 Units)]**
"Another 100 portions of beef! Xiaoshen is too generous! I'm impressed!"
"For the first time, I'm glad my territory is on a cliff with nothing but stones. Thank you for the meat!"
"I don't have any stones, but I traded wood for 20 units and managed to grab a portion! Awesome!"
"Nima, I hung up my stone offer, and before I could cancel it, it was swapped for wood at lightning speed! Is this the power of being single for over 20 years? Terrifying!"
"Sorry, I've been single for 40 years. Double the speed, double the happiness, hahaha!"
Within seconds of the trade being posted, the messages of successful transactions began to flood Lei Xiao's screen. In just over ten seconds, all 100 portions of beef were traded, and Lei Xiao successfully obtained 2,000 units of stone.
After transferring all the stones to his storage space, Lei Xiao returned to the front of his cabin. With enough resources now, the next step was to upgrade the cabin, trigger a world broadcast, and claim his rewards!
"Upgrade!"
He pressed the upgrade button for the Lord's Mansion, and a colorful light curtain enveloped the wooden structure. The sounds of construction and mechanical prompts filled the air.
**[You have consumed wood x6000, thatch x3000, and stone x1500]**
**[The Lord's Mansion Lv2 is being upgraded. Please wait...]**
This time, the upgrade process took longer than before. However, the prompt soon followed.
**[Congratulations! Your Lord's Mansion has been upgraded to Lv3!]**
As the light dissipated, Lei Xiao was pleasantly surprised to see that the Level 3 Lord's Mansion was not only larger but also taller than before. The foundation had been completely reinforced with stone, making it far more sturdy. Gone were the days when he feared the structure might collapse under its own weight!
Lei Xiao eagerly stepped inside to explore. The interior now featured a two-story design. The bedroom had been moved to the safer second floor, which also included a study. The first floor had an expanded living room, and the former bedroom space had been converted into a private office. A semi-open dining area had also been added.
"Finally, my Lord's Mansion is starting to take shape!" Lei Xiao thought with satisfaction.
Just then, another prompt sounded.
**[Dear Lord, congratulations! You are the first in the world to upgrade to a Level 3 Mansion. A world broadcast will commence shortly. Would you like to disclose your name?]**
"Anonymous," Lei Xiao responded without hesitation, sticking to his plan.
Immediately, the ears of every lord in the world were filled with the booming announcement:
**[Congratulations to the anonymous lord for being the first in the world to upgrade to a Level 3 Lord's Mansion! You have been rewarded with a random Tier 3 weapon and a Tier 3 equipment blueprint!]**
Given Lei Xiao's earlier actions, the reaction among the lords was predictably explosive. Meanwhile, lords from other countries could only stare in astonishment at their respective chat channels. Although the announcement was anonymous, the country of origin was clearly labeled.
**Foreign Chat Channel:**
"Daxia again! My Paolai Principality refuses to accept this!"
"Upstairs, wasn't the entire Blue Star invented by you? Why are you still sour?"
"Greetings from the Bread Federation! First place goes to Daxia! I love Daxia!"
"How cold, how cold, how cold… da da da…"
"Wait, isn't this the chat channel for Dabiyutifu? Why are there so many weirdos here?"
"Biyouti is trash! This is clearly the chat channel for our Paolai Principality!"
"Backwards! UU Reading dares to challenge the master? Youtifu's son-in-law, hahaha!"
"I remember now! Before we crossed over, we were all on a cruise ship sailing at sea…"
"Nani? Did the system treat everyone on that cruise ship as one country when we crossed?"
"???"
"How cold! I'm playing in the mud in the northeast…"
Meanwhile, Lei Xiao, now the anonymous lord who had upgraded to a Level 3 Mansion, had successfully captured everyone's attention once again. With a slight smile, he began to inspect his rewards.
**[Congratulations! You have obtained the "Tier 3 Weapon: Earth Two-handed Sword"!]**
**[Congratulations! You have obtained the "Tier 3 Weapon Blueprint: Light Crystal Staff"!]**
Without hesitation, Lei Xiao triggered the upgrade.
**[Congratulations! You have triggered the lucky critical effect! Your "Tier 3 Weapon: Earth Two-handed Sword" has been upgraded to "Tier 5 Weapon: Dragon Slaying Sword"!]**
**[Congratulations! Your "Tier 3 Weapon Blueprint: Light Crystal Staff" has been upgraded to "Tier 4 Weapon Blueprint: Angel Staff"!]**
"Wow, a critical strike! A Tier 5 two-handed sword? I never thought I'd have a day like this in Africa!" Lei Xiao exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as he examined the massive, blood-red sword before him. The weapon was at least as tall as a person and weighed hundreds of kilograms. Its surface gleamed with a sharp, menacing edge, and a faint hum could be heard as the breeze passed over it. There was no doubt that such a weapon, wielded skillfully, could slice through even a plane with ease.
Lei Xiao eagerly opened the attribute panel for the two-handed sword, eager to see its full potential.
