I glance at the gold count again. 5 gold isn't enough to summon a unit just yet, so I turn my attention to the shelter. There's still work to be done, and with the forest grove now providing resources, I can make improvements that'll make things more comfortable—and safer.
The first thing I do is reinforce the walls. The shelter is sturdy enough, but it could use more support. More protection. I gather what I can from the grove: thick branches, large stones, and some vines. It's slow work, but I manage to extend the shelter's size and add more layers to the roof. It's not perfect, but it'll keep the weather out.

[Shelter Upgrade Complete]
Gold: 5
New Mission: Buy Additional Landscape or Summon Unit (50 Gold)

The shelter is now bigger, sturdier. It's starting to feel more like a home than just a temporary stop. I sit back, catching my breath for a moment. I've made progress.
The system pops up again, offering new options:
---
[New Mission: Collect More Resources from Forest Grove]
Gold Reward: 15
---
I'm not sure how much more I can collect from the grove, but it's worth checking. I head back toward the trees, gathering what I can. The more resources I have, the more I can build, the quicker I can move forward.
---
[Resources Collected]
Gold: 20
New Mission: Summon Unit (50 Gold)
---
The gold adds up quickly now. I'm almost there. 50 gold is within reach. It feels like I'm on the verge of something new, something bigger.
---
[New Mission: Summon Unit (50 Gold)]
Gold: 20
---
The system's persistent. Summon unit. I'll need to gather more gold. With the shelter upgraded, I'm closer to reaching my goal, but there's still more work to be done.
