After an hour, the workers returned with resources. Stroud it near the lord's mansion and went back to gather resources

It seemed the gathering speed for workers was 10 units per hour.
Leo turned his gaze to the Lord's Mansion.
[Lord's Wooden House Lv. 1]
[Upgrade Requirements: 100 Wood, 10 Stone to Lv. 2]
He still needed 40 more units of wood. At this pace, it would take two more hours.
"Waiting two hours would be a waste of time," Leo thought. Wanting to upgrade the Lord's Mansion as soon as possible, he decided to start trading some of the wolf meat.
Leo opened the Trading Post.
He posted 200 units of Wolf Meat for trade, offering 1 unit of meat in exchange for 10 units of wood or 10 units of stone.
Soon after, the chat exploded:
"Everyone, some big shot just posted 200 units of wolf meat for trading!"
"What? Wolf meat? And that too—200 units?! That's huge!"
"Go quickly or there won't be any left!"
"Bro, I just used all my resources to upgrade my Lord. Why am I so unlucky?"
"Stop chatting and go now—only 100 units left!"
"What? Only 100 units left already?!"
"Bro, what are you talking about? It's all sold out!"
Leo's eyes widened in shock.
"Already sold out?" he murmured.
[Ding! You have traded 200 units of Wolf Meat and received 1000 units of Wood and 1000 units of Stone.]
Current Resources:
Wood: 1040
Stone: 1000

Leo was filled with joy.
With the new resources in hand, he could finally upgrade the Lord's Mansion.
Without wasting any time, he walked over to the mansion and selected the upgrade option.
[Ding! Lord's Mansion – Level 2 Upgrade Requirements: ]

Stone: 40
Do you want to upgrade to Level 2?

Current Resources:

Leo smiled and confidently chose Yes.
As the small wooden mansion was upgraded, a bright light began to shine. The entire building glowed, and soon the sounds of construction echoed from within the light.
Within minutes, the light slowly faded. In its place stood a much larger and grander Lord's Mansion. It now had a solid stone foundation and tall wooden walls, giving it a strong and majestic appearance. The transformation was complete, and the new mansion stood proudly in front of him.
[ Lord's Mansion – Level 3 Upgrade Requirements:]
Wood: 500
Stone: 200
Do you want to upgrade to Level 3?
[Yes] / [No]
"Great! With the current resources, I can upgrade the Lord's Mansion to Level 3," Leo said, his voice full of excitement.
He stood before the mansion, eyes shining, and pressed Yes without hesitation.
Once again, the Lord's Mansion was wrapped in radiant light. Familiar sounds rang out—stone being laid, wood, tools clinking steadily.
Soon, the light faded.
In its place stood a grand and majestic Lord's Mansion. It rested on a sturdy stone foundation, with strong stone walls on the outside and polished wooden interiors. Wooden windows let in warm sunlight, adding to the mansion's elegant beauty.
Now, it truly looked like the home of a powerful, rising Lord.
Leo was awestruck by the sight before him.
The tall building, with its fine blend of stone and wood, seemed almost otherworldly.
With growing excitement, Leo stepped inside.
He found three spacious living quarters, a large hall big enough for twenty people to move around freely, a kitchen, a dining room, and stairs leading to the second floor. There was the lord's study room with a large bedroom connected to it, along with two more living quarters for his guards.
