804 Chapter 490: New Troop… [1/3]

Richard retracted his thoughts. He excitedly and unhesitatingly opened the [Trading Market].

He wanted to test the effects of this new function first.

The current price of each ordinary troop lair was lower than before. But he still maintained 400 units of resources.

Richard needed 100 ordinary-level, 1,000 rare-level, 10,000 glorious-level, and 100,000 crown-level to upgrade the troop lair from ordinary to elite. He needed one million to advance to radiant moon-level.

Each upgrade was ten times the number of the previous ones.

One million crystals x 400 was equivalent to 400 million units of ordinary resources.

Richard would need two million to upgrade the crown soldier to radiant moon-level according to the current price of one unit of rare resources exchanged for 200 units of ordinary resources.

Richard looked at the remaining 2.6 million rare resources on his attribute panel, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

So it was so lively that he could only nurture one radiant moon troop?

The higher the level, the more resources it would cost.

The number of radiant moon soldiers required to become transcendent would be even more astronomical–ten million ordinary troop lairs if it were an exaggeration to say that a crown would advance to radiant moon-level.

That was 20 million units of rare resources.

Richard’s eyelids twitched at the thought of this data.

All the rare resources he had earned had probably not even reached 20 million since he entered the “Shining Era.”

He must sell a few of his glorious treasures.

Richard took a few deep breaths to suppress the rise and fall of emotions in his heart.

“I’m still as poor as a dog with millions of resources in my hands… No one else has this feeling.”

Richard would start with the crown since he couldn’t ace radiant moon-level king of the imperial on a large scale.

He would need three days of cooldown before he could level up for the second time if he recruited them now.

He no longer hesitated at this point.

He opened the [Trading Market] and purchased troop lairs in large quantities.

He directly bought one million, according to the average of 400 units of resources, which was the price of two rare resources.

He quickly spent two million.

Six hundred thousand still remained in the attribute panel.

That must be quite a lot, but recruiting troops also required tons of resources, which could be insufficient.

Richard smiled bitterly.

The most arduous thing for the violent soldiers was not to expand the lairs from the looks of it but how to continue recruiting troops after one increased lairs.

Richard had never increased the number of troop lairs on a large scale because the resources needed to recruit high-level troop types were exaggerated.

The current income of Twilight City could not afford so many high-level troop lairs.

Richard wouldn’t have a thousand radiant moon-level even if one gave a hundred crowns. He couldn’t get the resources he needed to recruit.

“The greatest obstacle for Twilight City was poverty.”

Richard sighed.

The system would temporarily give storage space to the resources purchased from the [Trading Market], but one could not return them once one took them out.

Richard calmed down and looked at the Sleeping Pyramid that could recruit the King of the Imperial Troop lair.

A notification immediately appeared in the Black Gold System with a thought.

[Sleeping Pyramid]

[1. It can consume ten radiant moon-level troop lairs to advance to the next level.]

[2. You can choose the Sleeping Pyramid as the cultivation target and consume resources to cultivate a lair of the same type.]

[Note 1: The level of the troop lair nurtured will be one level lower than the selected target. One will need to upgrade twice to reach the same level.]

[Note 2: The training will depend on the level before the promotion when selecting a promoted soldier.]

Richard glanced at the attributes twice and moved his eyes sparingly.

Unfortunately, there were no loopholes.

One could only count the troops promoted according to the time before their promotion. Otherwise, they would not have to wait for such a long promotion cycle.

That didn’t cause conflict with Richard, although he felt sparingly regretful.

He immediately chose the second option.

[Target selected–the Sleeping Pyramid.]

[Detected one million remaining troop lairs. Do you want to cultivate all of them–Sleeping Pyramid?]

[Note: The nurturing process is irreversible.]

[Sleeping Pyramid]

[Level: Radiant Moon 3-stars Radiant Moon]

[Characteristic: Successfully nurtured, will obtain a Crown 3-stars troop lair.]

Richard did not hesitate and chose to nurture it.

A few seconds afterward.

All the lairs stored in the system space disappeared.

Then, a majestic energy surged out of the Sleeping Pyramid.

In an instant, the wind and clouds surged.

Endless yellow sand covered the surrounding space.

The yellow sand gradually settled down and condensed into pyramids one after another as the vast energy revolved.

The energy subsided when the sandstorm dissipated.

Richard saw thirteen pyramids that stood tall.

It was smaller than the Sleeping Pyramid of the radiant moon.

[The system has successfully built the Sleeping Pyramid.]

The Black Gold System’s notification rang, and Richard opened the attribute panel.

[Sleeping Pyramid]

[Level: Crown 3-stars]

[Recruitable Troops: King of the Imperial Troop (3-star crown)]

[Recruited: 10]

[Weekly Production: 10]

[Recruitment Requirements: 1,400 units of gemstones, 1400 units of sulfur]

[Description: You can recruit mummy soldiers with mighty battle power–King of the Imperial Troop. They are the kings of the mummy imperial troop with soul-strapping battle strength.

“Thirteen Crown 3-stars troop lairs!”

Richard’s lips curled into a bright smile.

The difference from radiant moons was that the resources required for recruitment had dropped from 4,000 units of gemstones and sulfur to 1,400 units.

Wait, something was wrong.
