Richard was stunned when he heard the system notification. He read it again carefully.

[Place of Stability: The people are united. The degree of happiness is high. The attraction to the refugees is increased by 30%. There is a higher probability of attracting high-level talents or low-level heroes to come and seek refuge.]

“Wow, the people are united. How can there be such a harvest?”

This was pronouncedly a developmental characteristic. It might not have much effect in the short term, but the longer it was, the greater the benefits.

“Hahaha, this round was not a loss.”

Richard, who was in a good mood, came to the Lord’s mansion and opened the resource panel of Twilight City.

[Twilight City]

[Hero: Adele Thorin — A-rank]

[Description: An unremarkable territory in the death desert, but it has a certain amount of potential for development.]

After Richard read the territorial attributes a few times, he had an idea.

The large-scale dungeon at the end of the month can determine the overall strength of the territory, and the top one million lords could enter.

He did not know how high the territory level was. To be safe, he needed to level up first.

It would be a joke if he did not get selected because his territory level was not high enough.

He silently said, “Level up.”

[Ding~ Do you want to use gold coins, wood, stone, iron ore, 2,000 units each to level up your territory?]

“Yes.”

[This level up will take 30 minutes. Please clear the residents in the Lord’s mansion.]

After Richard ordered everyone to leave the Lord’s mansion, he chose to level up.

In an instant.

A faint yellow sand-like light appeared in the sky above the Lord’s mansion.

It enveloped all the buildings in the Lord’s mansion.

Looking down from the sky, one could pronouncedly see that the bluestone floor at the edge of the territory began to spread in all directions. Soon, the desert was covered by a large area.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the residents.

They looked at the changes in the Lord’s mansion, they were all very excited.

“I know. This is the power bestowed by the gods to Lord Richard. It can quickly upgrade buildings…”

“Every time I see it, I’m amazed…”

Silence wrapped the whole crowd.

At this time, Karu had also arrived behind Richard. The old man was still immersed in the excitement from the advent of the spring, and his clothes were wet.

“Lord…”

Richard waved his hand. “It’s okay. I’m upgrading my territory.”

He thought for a moment and continued.

“Tell all residents to leave their residences. Don’t stay in the buildings. The blacksmith shop is no exception.”

“As you wish.”

Karu left in a hurry.

Half an hour later, a system notification sounded.

[Ding~ Twilight City has been upgraded. Current level: Level 2 small village. Territory expanded by 10 spaces. The current space is 20 spaces.]

“Continue to upgrade.”

[Ding~ To upgrade to level 3 small village requires two buildings to reach the elite level.]

Richard gazed at the territory buildings.

The residential buildings were already elite level. Now, he only needed to upgrade one more building.

He opened the attributes panel of the blacksmith shop.

[Blacksmith Shop — (4 spaces)]

[Level: Ordinary (upgrading requires 1,000 units of iron ore, 1,000 units of wood, and 1,000 units of stone)]

[Characteristics: Forging efficiency increased by 10%.]

[Capacity: Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 10 people]

[Description: An ordinary blacksmith’s shop. You can forge farm tools or low-level weapons here.]

[After upgrading to an advanced blacksmith’s shop, you can start your research.]

Richard nodded. “Upgrade blacksmith’s shop.”

[Ding~ Do you want to consume 1,000 units of iron ore, 1,000 units of wood, and 1,000 units of stone to upgrade the blacksmith’s shop? This upgrade will take 10 minutes.]

“Confirmed.”

Ten minutes later.

[Upgrade successful. Current Level: Elite Blacksmith Shop.]

“Upgrade territory.”

[Ding~ Do you want to use 3,000 gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore to upgrade your territory? This upgrade will take 1 hour.]

“Confirmed.”

1 hour later.

[Territory upgrade completed. Current level: Level 3 small village. The territory expanded by 10 square meters. Current space: 30 square meters.]

“Continue to upgrade.”

[Ding~ To upgrade to a level 1 town requires three buildings to reach the elite level.]

“Upgrade barracks.”

[Ding~ Do you want to spend 1,500 gold, stone, wood, and iron to upgrade barracks? This upgrade will take 20 minutes.]

Twenty minutes later.

[Barracks upgraded successfully. Current level: Elite]

“Upgrade territory.”

[Ding~ Do you want to use 4,000 gold, stone, wood, and iron to upgrade your territory? This upgrade will take two hours.]

Noon.

[Ding~ Twilight City has been upgraded to a level 1 small town, territory building limit has been upgraded to advanced, Lord’s mansion has been expanded by 10 spaces, the territory has been expanded by 30 spaces, and the current space is 60 spaces.]

[Twilight City]

[Level: 1 small town (10,000 units of gold, stone, wood, and iron for each upgrade. Three buildings have been upgraded to advanced, with 500 residents.)]

[Building: Elite Lord’s mansion (1), elite residence (10), elite blacksmith shop (1), elite barracks (1)]

[Special Building: None]

[Empty Space: 60 spaces]

Richard glanced at the [Territory Ranking] — 10 million+. He could not help but feel that the probability of the emergence of a strong person was truly exaggerated.

Even if it was one in a thousand, it would still be counted in the tens of millions.

Usually, they would cry on the forums about how miserable they were. Behind their backs, they were developing better and better. These old coins.

Although a level 1 small town had yet to catch up with the first-line troops, it was not at the bottom of the food chain.

“To upgrade to a level 2 small town, three advanced buildings and 500 people are required.

“Advanced buildings are easy to solve, but the population…”

This condition was somewhat helpless, so he could only put aside the idea of continuous upgrading.

“It seems that I have to find time to go to that desert oasis and retrieve the refugees.”

He turned his gaze back to the blacksmith shop.

He did not forget that the advanced blacksmith shop could activate the research function to upgrade the attack of the troops.

This was a rather powerful characteristic. It had been mentioned many times on the official website of the “Shining Era”.

[Blacksmith Shop]

[Space:4]

[Level: Elite (2,000 units of iron ore, 2,000 units of wood, 2,000 units of stone)]

[Characteristics: Forging efficiency increased by 20%.]

[Capacity: Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 20 people.]

[Description: An ordinary blacksmith’s shop. You can forge some pretty good weapons here.]

Although the continuous upgrading had depleted the resources in his hands, he still had the resources to upgrade the blacksmith’s shop.

“Upgrade the blacksmith’s shop.”

[Ding~ Do you want to consume 2,000 units of iron ore, 2,000 units of wood, and 2,000 units of stone to upgrade your blacksmith shop? This upgrade will take 30 minutes.]

30 minutes later.

[Upgrade successful. Current Level: Advanced]

[Blacksmith Shop (4 space)]

[Level: Advanced (upgrade requires 5,000 units of iron ore, 5,000 units of wood, and 5,000 units of stone)]

[Characteristics: Forging efficiency increased by 30%.]

[Research and Development: You can choose the troops in your territory to study and increase their attack power. Currently, you can study the number of troops: 1.]

[Resident Hero: Adele Thorin]

[Hero Additional Characteristics: Research speed increased by 30%, and the success rate increased by 30%.]

[Capacity: Minimum of 2 people, maximum of 30 people.]

[Description: The advanced blacksmith has already possessed a certain level of extraordinary power.]

Richard was overjoyed.

The advanced blacksmith was like a completely different person compared to the elite blacksmith.

He selected the blacksmith’s research and development function with a thought.

The image of all the troop nests in Twilight City appeared in his mind in the next second.

[Ding~ Please select the troop type you want to research and develop. Note: The higher the level, the longer the research and development time, and the lower the success rate.]

[The first research and development, try using the bandaged mummy first…]

Richard chose the great pyramid that could recruit bandaged mummies.

[Ding~ Bandaged mummy basic attack, estimated research and development time: 7 days. Estimated resources required: 5,000 gold coins, 5,000 units of wood, 20,000 units of iron ore, success rate: 80.]

[After confirming success, please arrange for people to carry out research and development promptly. Before the research and development are completed, it will be impossible to develop the next technology.]

[Note 1: The materials required for research and development do not need to be paid for in one go. They will be gradually consumed on the way. The lack of materials will cause the progress to be slow.]

[Note 2: There is a chance of failure in research and development. If the success rate is less than 50%, the failure rate will increase.]

[Note 3: The length of time required for research and development and the success rate are related to the hero who is in charge of the research and development.]

[Note 4: During research and development, the hero leading them can not leave the territory, otherwise the research and development progress will be stagnant.]
