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

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

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

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

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

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

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

Without showcasing their terrifying abilities, Anina would appear as a lovely young girl, and Alice would be seen as a sweet silver-haired girl.

Murloc 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.

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

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

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

This 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.

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

“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?”

“Yes.”

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

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

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

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

Time passed quickly.

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

On 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.

Ji 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.

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

Circles 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.

Success!

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

Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing 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.

Two hours later.

The territory came into view.

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

As 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.

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

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

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

In 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.

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

He casually opened the Territory Rankings.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He began to check the resources needed to level up.

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

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

“Territory level increased from 2 to 3.”

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

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

The 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.

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

He continued to level up.

To 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.

Following 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.

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

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

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

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