C15 The Buildings Were Upgraded
He proceeded to upgrade the other structures.
The Territory alert read, "100 spirit coins spent to raise the Thorny Vine Fence to Level 2."
Another alert chimed in, "200 spirit coins spent to elevate the Thorny Vine Fence to Level 3."
Eventually, he boosted the Thorny Vine Fence all the way to Level 20.
"Structure: Thorny Vine Fence"
"Level: 20"
"Upgrade Cost: 20,000 spirit coins"
"Quality: S (0/10)"
"Defense: 10,000/10,000"
"Special Feature 1: Capable of regenerating damaged vines"
"Special Feature 2: Enemies that come into contact with the vines will suffer poison damage."
Description: The Thorny Vine Fence, infused with toxin and remarkable regenerative abilities, can autonomously repair itself. Unless it is uprooted entirely, it will continue to grow as long as even a fragment of its root remains. Enhancing its quality requires 10 Two-star or higher Wood Crystal Cores.
The addition of the poison attribute meant that any monster attacking the vines would be poisoned. This thought brought a smile to Qiang Nantie's face.
The vines were truly exceptional.
Gathering ten Wood Attribute Crystal Cores should be a breeze.
The catch was the hefty sum of spirit coins it would cost.
He could only obtain Crystal Cores by defeating boss-level monsters; slaying regular creatures wouldn't yield any.
Opening treasure chests did present a chance to acquire Crystal Cores, albeit with slim odds.
Qiang Nantie upgraded the rest of the buildings.
The Territory alert announced, "500 spirit coins spent to upgrade the Bronze Bird Terrace to Level 2."
Following that, "1000 spirit coins spent to upgrade the Bronze Bird Terrace to Level 3."
And finally, "5000 spirit coins spent to upgrade the Bronze Bird Terrace to Level 10."
Qiang Nantie realized that upgrading the Bronze Bird Terrace was draining his spirit coins rapidly. At this rate, he wouldn't have enough to enhance other structures.
After some deliberation, he decided to stop at Level 10 for the Bronze Bird Terrace.
"Structure: Bronze Bird Terrace"
"Level: 10"
"Upgrade Cost: 6,000 spirit coins"
"Quality: RRR"
"Defense: 5,000/5,000"
"Function: Summon"
"Special Attribute 1: Female Hero"
"Special Attribute 2: 10% increase in summoning success rate"
"Description: Within the Bronze Bird Terrace reside numerous female heroes from other realms, each possessing formidable powers. Summoning a novice female hero costs 100 Soul Coins, an intermediate one costs 500, an advanced one costs 1,000, and a super female hero costs 10,000 Soul Coins. Note: The greater the number of Soul Coins spent, the higher your chances of summoning a hero!"
Qiang Nantie was taken aback to find that the Bronze Bird Terrace was a building of the highest caliber. Upgrading it was essential as it would enhance the summoning success rate and conserve Soul Coins.
He proceeded to upgrade the next structure.
Territory Alert: "100 spirit coins spent to raise the Spirit Vein Bamboo House to Level 2."
Territory Alert: "200 spirit coins spent to raise the Spirit Vein Bamboo House to Level 3."
"Building: Spirit Vein Bamboo House"
"Level: 20"
"Upgrade Requirements: 30,000 spirit coins and at least 500 pieces of Three-star wood"
"Quality: S (0/1)"
"Defense: 10,000/10,000"
"Special Attribute 1: Gather Spiritual Energy"
"Special Attribute 2: Cultivation speed increased by 20%"
"Introduction: The Spirit Vein Bamboo House harnesses the spiritual energy from the cosmos, accelerating the cultivation pace for both the Lord and Heroes. Enhance its quality by securing a Spirit Vein."
"Spirit Vein?" Qiang Nantie was at a loss upon reading the upgrade prerequisites for this building. He had never even heard of a Spirit Vein.
It must be some kind of intangible entity. But why was it necessary for the upgrade of the Spirit Vein Bamboo House?
He resolved to research this topic later.
Two more buildings awaited upgrades.
Territory Alert: "200 spirit coins spent to elevate the Raging Flame Tower to Level 2."
Territory Alert: "300 spirit coins spent to upgrade the Raging Flame Tower to Level 3."
Building: Raging Flame Tower
Level: 20
Upgrade Requirements: 30,000 spirit coins, 100 Three-star lumber, and 50 Three-star copper ore.
Quality: SS (0/5)
Upgrade Requirements: 5 Three-star fire Elemental Crystal Cores
Defense: 10,000/10,000
Special Feature 1: Capable of launching a fireball for area-of-effect damage.
Special Feature 2: Every half-hour, it can unleash a sea of fire, covering an attack range of 100 meters.
Attack Range: 200 meters
Description: A Fire Tower with formidable attack power.
"More Elemental Crystal Cores," Qiang Nantie noted, foreseeing a significant need for materials. The cost of these cores was steep; even a One-star Elemental Crystal Core would set one back at least 100,000 spirit coins. And those with attributes? Their prices were astronomical.
He acknowledged the inadequacy of his current funds. There was much more work to be done. His deceased parents, both Lords, had bequeathed him a million spirit coins. Those funds had supported him until the age of 18, and he still had several hundred thousand left. However, to truly develop his territory, that amount was a mere drop in the bucket.
The Raging Flame Tower had gained a new skill, impressively effective against hordes of monsters, capable of decimating their ranks.
Only one building remained.
Territory Alert: "100 spirit coins used, thus the mysterious store has been upgraded to Level 2."
Territory Alert: "200 spirit coins used, upgrading the mysterious store to Level 3."
Territory Alert: "300 spirit coins used, raising the mysterious store to Level 4."
Building: Mysterious Store
Level: 20
Upgrade Cost: 30,000 spirit coins
Quality: S (0/5)
Defense: 10,000/10,000
Function: Sells a variety of items.
Special Feature: Can automatically refresh the inventory for sale once daily.
Special Offer 2: During festival periods, discount cards are guaranteed to appear, with the discounts being random.
Introduction: Items are refreshed every 22 hours and 40 minutes. You can purchase these items using designated Soul Coins and Spirit Coins. Acquiring five altars allows for a quality upgrade.
The mysterious store is indeed a curiosity.
The ability to access discount cards during holidays is a fantastic perk.
It was the discount card that enabled the purchase of a Hero Card. Consequently, he was able to summon the first Hero, Huamo, which significantly advanced the development of his territory.
The territory alert read: "Your territory level meets the upgrade requirements. Would you like to upgrade?"
The territory was ready for another upgrade. Qiang Nantie accessed the territory list and selected the upgrade option, initiating a series of upgrades.
The territory alert announced: "Your territory has been upgraded to Level 3."
Following that, another alert: "Your territory has been upgraded to Level 6."
