nChapter 119: Territory Upgrade, a Sinister Plan (1)

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nSince Benbo was summoned from a different dimension and descended into this realm, the Hero Altar had fulfilled its purpose.

nIn a matter of moments, it seemed as if it had endured the erosion of thousands of years, rapidly crumbling into pieces of broken stones.

nWith the addition of Benbo, Jichen now had four heroes under his command: one green, one blue, and two purple.

nAnd their races were diverse, including humans, murlocs, a siren, and a deep sea dragon whale.

nBut the strangest thing was that the more harmless their appearances, the stronger their power.

nWithout showcasing their terrifying abilities, Anina would appear as a lovely young girl, and Alice would be seen as a sweet silver-haired girl.

nMurloc had a distinctive appearance, but its naturally idiotic dead-fish eyes served as a perfect disguise. As for Sparrow, he was just a slim young man.

nOne could say that the group lacked the typical appearance of heroes.

nWith their current mission accomplished, Ji Chen wasted no time and waved his hand, leading the group to continue forward.

nAdvancing through the water, they soon arrived at the second nearby sub-island.

nThis sub-island housed a broken Warning Lighthouse left behind by an ancient civilization. Having obtained enough crystals during their previous sea voyage, it was a convenient opportunity to repair it.

nPassing through the coconut grove and ascending the towering cliffs, they reached the ruins before them.

n“Do you wish to consume 10,000 units of stone, 5,000 units of clay, and 1,000 units of crystal to repair the Warning Lighthouse?”

n“Yes.”

n“The repair will take 1 hour. Please be patient.”

nObserving the information displayed before him, Ji Chen nodded inwardly.

nOne hour wasn’t too long, and he could easily pass the time.

nReturning to the coconut grove, he let the Naga Warriors grab a few coconuts to feast upon.

nTime passed quickly.

n“The broken Warning Lighthouse has been repaired and is now connected to the territory…Connection successful.”

nOn the territory panel, the words “Warning Lighthouse” appeared in the building column. There was no need to come to the lighthouse personally. One could check the lighthouse’s detection status at any time in the territory.

nJi Chen looked at the cliff. A tall tower had appeared on the previously barren cliff. A large lamp was slowly rotating on top of it.

nBecause it was daytime, the headlights were not on, but the detection ability was still there.

nCircles of invisible energy fluctuations spread out in all directions from the lighthouse, detecting the sea and the air within ten nautical miles of the defense.

nSuccess!

nWith the Lighthouse, he could predict the enemy’s invasion in advance and would not be caught off guard.

nJi Chen nodded in satisfaction.

nSeeing that his two goals had been achieved, he did not stay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he led the group back to the territory.

nTwo hours later.

nThe territory came into view.

nJichen unlocked his troops and walked alone to the central square of the Lord’s Manor.

nAs he looked at the thatched-roofed Lord’s Manor in front of him, and then glanced at the villas and cottages of the residents on the side, he shook his head in disappointment.

nWhy did the Lord’s dwelling look worse than the residents’?

nTo change the appearance of the Lord’s Manor, he needed to upgrade the territory to a higher level.

nSpecifically, from Village Level to Town Level, or from Town Level to City-State Level.

nIn the past, the lack of resources was a valid reason, but now that they were becoming prosperous, the Lord’s Manor needed to be improved.

nHowever, it had been a while since then, and he became curious about the progress of other players’ territories.

nHe casually opened the Territory Rankings.

nUpon seeing the rankings, a smile formed on his face.

nPreviously, his Crown of the Ocean ranking was around 60,000, but now he was in the top 900.

nThe “Level 2 Village” label next to his name stood out among the many Town Level territories.

nAlthough his territory’s level was low, its prosperity exceeded 15,000.

nThis achievement was attributed to the territory’s formidable military capabilities.

nEven though the military aspect did not contribute significantly to the territory’s prosperity, he managed to elevate it through various units and heroes.

nNow he wondered how his ranking would change once the territory level increased.

nJi Chen wanted to have some fun, so he decided to level up his territory.

nHe began to check the resources needed to level up.

nUpgrading from a Level 2 village to a Level 3 village required 1250 units of wood, fiber, and clay.

nLooking at the interface, all the requirements were met, so he immediately began to level up.

n“Territory level increased from 2 to 3.”

nThe process of leveling up was silent and there was no big movement.

nLooking at the changes in the territory, the most obvious change was the size.

nThe length and width of the territory had increased from 200 x 200 (m) to 300 x 300 (m), and the area had increased from 4 square kilometers to 9 square kilometers. It had more than doubled.

nIn addition, he also unlocked some Village-level buildings. However, they were all very basic buildings, so there was nothing worth paying attention to.

nHe continued to level up.

nTo upgrade from a Level 3 Village to a Level 4 Village, he needed 1,500 units of wood, fiber, and clay, which coincided with his previous calculations.

nFollowing the same pattern, upgrading from a Level 4 Village to a Level 5 Village would require 1,750 units of each resource, and from a Level 5 Village to a Level 1 Town would require 2,000 units.

nJichen didn’t pay much attention to the details of these upgrades. He quickly progressed to a Level 1 Town.

n“Territory level successfully increased (Level 5 Village —> Level 1 Town).”

n“Ding- Town-level buildings have been unlocked.”

nAfter the upgrade, the territory’s prosperity was recalculated, and it increased by an additional 2,000 prosperity points..
