Shin instructed Heart to place the three new buildings but to keep the gold in his inventory.
Ding! A brilliant white light flashed. A towering Dragon Mountain emerged, flanked by two new brackets positioned beside the original one.
The brackets bore unique symbols—one etched with a blazing phoenix, the other with an icy snowflake.
The newly formed mountain range featured a sprawling training valley, a restorative hot spring, and a massive dragon vein—all carved in the majestic shape of an azure dragon.

During breakfast with his wives and Nina, Shin announced,
"I'll be heading to the nearby town to purchase slaves, recruit from the tavern, and check on the next auction. Would any of you like to come?"
They all responded with enthusiastic nods.
Shego grinned. "Shopping trip! And Daddy can help me find more women to join my phoenix mage core."
Velzard and Shego asked in unison, "Where did you get the money?"
Shin smirked. "My father—Lilith—sent me the Dragon Mountain. So now, Velzard, we've got a proper place to transform and play in our dragon forms… plus a hoard worthy of a Dragon King."
Velzard purred, "Such a magnificent gift, husband. Where is this mountain? Can we see it now?"
Shin nodded. "We'll visit it before we leave the territory."
Shego chimed in, "Remind me to check the player auction and trade functions, okay? There might be some juicy deals."
"Of course, dear," Shin said with a soft smile.
⸻
"I'm going to open the treasure chests and use my gacha tickets," Shin said, activating his Favored by Luck skill.

Grinning at his progress, Shin stepped outside to check if John had organized any advisory interviews.
He summoned the four pre-registered candidates.
⸻
First up was Wendy, a 25-year-old brunette with sea-blue eyes and a height of 5'8".
His All-Seeing Eye revealed her strong potential in civil administration.
"I see promise in you," Shin said with a warm smile. "There'll be a population surge today, and I'd like you to take on an advisory role."
Wendy nodded eagerly.
"Assist John with the villager registrations," Shin added as they shook hands. "Send in the next candidate."
⸻
While waiting, Shin placed all his new mines, houses, and the Ascension Tower in their designated areas.
Using Harem Talk, he asked, "How many left to register?"
"Only ten, honey," Shego replied.
"Got it." He activated a Large Recruitment Scroll.
Ding!
A portal opened, and 100 young men and women emerged—most in their twenties.
⸻
Velzard's voice filled his mind.
"The portal's complete. What are your orders, my love?"
"Register them first," Shin said. "Then assign them to homes. If any stand out, place them in the two new armies or the admin division. If they're manor material, have John's family—or you and Shego—interview them."
"Understood," she said gently.
⸻
Second candidate: Mark.
6'9", muscular, long black hair, brown eyes.
All-Seeing Eye revealed ambassadorial talent.
"Welcome aboard," Shin said, shaking his hand.
⸻
Shin also hired two more ambassadors, a treasurer, and three civil servants.
Ding!

⸻
"Heart, what are the benefits of the upgrade?"
Heart's soothing voice replied:
• +20% training speed for all troops
• +30% for Dragonborn or dragon-blooded troops
• Boosts fertility of dragons and Dragonborn
• Reduces dragon pregnancy to 9 months
• Increases mana density
• Attracts dragons & similar beings
• Enhances territory defense and power
Shin's eyes widened.
"Damn… that's incredible."
"Indeed," Heart said with a chuckle.
"I'll bring this up during the next meeting. We need to start gathering these materials now."
⸻
"Heart, what are Emperor-level Monster Cores?"
"Host, they're harvested from monsters who lead factions—like a Goblin Emperor. The stronger the core, the better the rewards. However…"
"What's the catch?"
"The stronger the core, the higher the chance of triggering a powerful mutation in Dragon Mountain. But… it'll also attract enemies who seek its power."
Shin grinned darkly.
"Anyone who covets my mountain… will be buried beneath it."
"Well said, Host."
⸻

• Gather required materials
• Prepare for invasions after the upgrade
Shin's mind raced with plans and strategies. This was only the beginning.
"Let's see who dares to challenge me."
