Chapter 212: Chapter 183 : The First Territorial Specialty of Twilight City to Make a Fortune

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Lord.”

“Lord…”

Richard nodded slightly at the troops bowing continuously.

After he cleaned up the Dak Temple, he did not stay any longer and returned to his territory.

It was still afternoon and still early before dark.

However, because he had died once, he was rather tired and had no thoughts of going out to hunt.

He ordered the three heroes to go.

After all, mummies did not know fatigue. This kind of labor force that could work all the time made the capitalists want to cry.

Moreover, killing the enemy could increase their strength, so these mummified heroes were also exceedingly willing to go out to hunt.

After the three heroes left, Richard thought about what type of soul lock he wanted to build in the future into the ancient god statue when he met the energetic Adele.

When Adele saw Richard, the young girl immediately went forward and pleaded with him.

“Lord Richard, I’ve already rested!! Can I go to the blacksmith shop now?!”

He forced her to rest for the past few days. And it suffocated her.

Richard found it a little funny when he saw her big blinking eyes.

This girl was probably the most active worker in the entire territory.

Or rather, she wasn’t working. She enjoyed forging and researching.

Then, he felt slightly regretful.

If he had a few more capable heroes, he could start working on technology and forging blueprints like the dragon-hunting crossbow.

Adele right now is busy with work. So, she couldn’t spare time to research and develop offensive technology.

It caused his idea of improving the attack power of the sand condensation archers to be put on hold.

“Sure, I’ve just obtained several resources. I can forge the dragon-hunting crossbow now…”

Halfway through this sentence, he was stuck again.

Dragon-hunting crossbow required materials: 5,000 units of mercury, 5,000 units of sulfur, 5,000 units of crystals, 1,000 units of fine iron, fascia of a level-15 or above giant dragon or hybrid giant dragon, special-level blacksmith.

There were enough rare resources. But the problem was that the fascia of a level 15 or above dragon was slightly arduous to obtain…

Level 15 was already another level of existence.

He had been quite confident before, but after clashing with those level 14 undying existences in the temple, he immediately became cautious.

At this time, Adele also noticed something and smiled.

“You’re worried about the problem with the dragon fascia, right?”

“It’s fine. I’ve carefully studied the dragon-hunting crossbow’s blueprint. Without the dragon fascia, we can temporarily replace it with other bowstrings. When we have the dragon fascia, we can replace it…”

“It’s just the power of the crossbow will be greatly reduced.”

When Richard heard this, his eyes immediately shafted luminosity.

This method was not bad.

“Okay, then we’ll make the dragon-hunting crossbow first. We’ll replace it after we hunt a dragon.”

The two chatted for a while before they arrived at the blacksmith shop.

When they reached the second floor, he placed all the materials needed for forging in the warehouse on the second floor.

As a result, the resources on the attribute panel instantly plummeted again.

Developing a dragon-hunting crossbow did not require gemstones. So, only these remained unchanged. There were still 7,200 units left, and the remaining three items left with only 1,000 units.

Richard could only sigh at the lack of resources in the desert mines.

He had only found a few small logging and quarries during the past few days. He was too lazy to send people to mine those resources.

They were honestly useless.

On the [Forum Chat], there were other lords with rich terrain. Many of their territories had broad mineral veins near them. And they produced up to 100,000 units a week.

They could occupy a few and take the money lying down. It made Richard unduly envious.

Indeed, people are incomparable.

This different situation made him suddenly think of the Middle Eastern oil-producing countries of Planet Blue.

Those rich people from the desert who were making money lying down were all in the desert. How did he end up in such a miserable state?

Adele’s eyes curved into a crescent moon when she looked at the warehouse filled with rare resources.

She said to Richard seriously.

“Lord Richard, I will ultimately try my best to complete the mission you gave me. I will surely not let you down!”

As she said this, she lowered her head shyly and awkwardly.

“That… can you leave your big baby here?”

‘Cough! Cough!’ Richard almost choked.

“That mechanical puppet is called the extraordinary hunter. Remember to call it by its name in the future.”

With that, he waved his hand and asked her to follow him to the backyard. He then released the extraordinary hunter from the control ring.

He had no other plans for the next few days, so he didn’t need it. He would first let this talented girl, Adele, study it properly.

What if the other party had an epiphany one day and created ten of them in one night?

Who knows, right?

Richard thought that this idea was highly correct.

“Once we discover the entrance to the underground world, I will immediately bring the extraordinary hunter away. But before that, you should study it first.”

Stars filled Adele’s eyes as she looked at the 15-meter-tall war machine in front of her. She was in a daze.

“Yes, yes, I will surely study it well…”

Richard could not stand Adele’s fascinated look and waved his hand to leave.

Let the other party do her research.

When Richard returned to the Lord’s mansion, he took a sip of hot tea and asked someone to call Karu over.

Karu hurriedly entered the house. After he saluted, he immediately began reporting.

“Lord, they had prepared the Hurricane Arrow Tower. As long as the resources are in place, we can start the construction immediately…”

Richard nodded.

The Hurricane Arrow Tower construction required only a few resources. Gold coins, wood, and stone materials, 50,000 units each for iron ore, 500 units for crystal, 500 units for gemstones, 500 units for mercury, and four empty spaces.

Although he had the god’s ancient tree, the Hurricane Arrow Tower’s defensive characteristics were hard to replace.

Its power would be maximized with the dragon-hunting crossbow when the time came.

“Don’t worry about the resources. I’ll give them to you later.”

As he spoke, he took out a blueprint from the system space he had obtained two months ago — Hero’s Altar.

[Hero Altar Construction Blueprint]

[Level: Special Building]

[Characteristics: Can be used to construct the Hero’s Altar. After the hero dies, he can use up resources to revive in the Hero’s Altar. Five people can be revived every month.

[Space: 4]

[Rresources Required for Construction: 10,000 units of stone materials, 10,000 units of gold coins, 10,000 units of wood, 500 units of crystals, 500 units of gemstones, 500 units of mercury, and 500 units of sulfur.]

[Description: An extremely rare-level construction blueprint that can even move dragons.]

This blueprint was obtained from the hands of Onyx, a merchant from the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce. He had always thought about it, but because he lacked resources, he had never constructed it.

At this time, he finally gathered enough materials for the construction.

Richard handed the blueprint to Karu and explained its use to the city before he finally said.

“Build this blueprint together. It’s highly valuable to us.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Karu’s face was full of smiles.

No matter how many soldiers were killed or injured, they could still be re-recruited. If a hero died in battle, it meant an ultimate death.

With this treasure, the heroes of Twilight City would no longer have to be afraid.

There would be more room for maneuver.

After this topic ended, Richard seemed to have thought of something and asked.

“How’s the progress of finding talented winemakers and chefs?”

After the last incident, the winery and food workshop had been in a state of shutdown.

It was a primary project he had high hopes for.

It would take up a large portion of transactions with the outside world in the future.

It didn’t make sense without a suitable hero to host it.

He honestly didn’t want to taste that thing from last time. It was simply too traumatizing.

Karu revealed a helpless expression. It has troubled him for the past few days.

He could find someone, but it would be arduous to find someone with talent.

There were thousands of people in the territory. Who knew if one had talent in this area?

This thing was not something that could be seen or touched…

When Richard looked at Karu’s expression, he knew the result, so he did not say much.

“You should hurry up. If you have a suitable construction talent, you can also find one.”

“There will be many things to be built in Twilight City in the future.”

The blueprints he obtained would become increasingly advanced, and he would eventually have some requirements for architects.

He would be in deep trouble if he obtained a few top-tier blueprints but couldn’t use them.

Karu hurriedly nodded. That indicated he had noted it down.

After that, there was nothing else to do. Richard placed the resources needed to build the Hero’s Altar and Hurricane Arrow Tower in a predetermined location.

They placed the rare-level resources in the Lord’s mansion warehouse.

When they needed them, they would come and collect them themselves.

After they had done all this, it reduced to the bottom resources on his status panel.

When Richard saw this, he could not help but smile bitterly.

Especially the rare-level resources. Richard painstakingly accumulated tens of thousands of units, but before he could even warm them up, he had already spent more than half of them.

The crystals and other resources were all cleared.

The most numerous gemstones still have 6,200 units left and 500 units of sulfur.

It was a pity that the [Trading Market] needed to charge a 30% handling fee. Otherwise, he could have exchanged the gemstones for other rare materials.

Now, he had lost 30%.

When he thought of this, he felt a bit embarrassed. The changes in the [Trading Market] rules would ultimately force players to trade offline.

He sighed.

The lack of resources is probably the predicament Twilight City will face for a long time.

His thirst for resources was almost permanent because he needed the troop lairs to upgrade.

It was almost impossible to satisfy it.

Just as Richard thought about how to earn more resources to develop.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded.

[Ding~ Twilight City resident, Lucy, has successfully used fire dragon rabbit fur to combine with twelve desert plants to create a 2-stars treasure with strong thermal properties — a yellow sand robe. Successfully promoted to D-rank hero.]

[Ding~ Your territory has developed a unique 2-stars treasure — yellow sand robe. It has solidified into a territory specialty.]

[This specialty is produced in Twilight City and has an additional 30% attribute increase.]

Richard was stunned when he heard the notification. He opened it a few more to ensure he did not hear wrongly, and his eyes revealed a hint of unconcealable surprise.

“Developing a 2-stars treasure… Promoted to hero?

“Which little cutie was so awesome?”

And it was a local specialty.

He suddenly smelled the scent of wealth.
