After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 1118

Chapter 1118: Training Hall Upgrade
[The Training Hall (Lv2) is now eligible for upgrade!]

[Would you like to upgrade for 20000 Wood, 10000 Stone, and 30000 Gold? Yes| No?]

This was not a small amount, and it was much bigger than the previous upgrade—multiplied by several folds. At the back of her mind, she wondered who would get all that gold.

So far there was no indication the building was a city’s ‘franchise’ that went through the Sanctum of Constructs, so they had no idea which territory started it. Rather, it seemed to have been there since as far as anyone could remember.

Well, that wasn’t her concern now, and she just looked at the cost, feeling a bit pained.

Sure, she had the money, but she was distinctly aware of how much that actually was. For context, the average wealth of villages ranged from 100 gold for poor Level 1 Villages.

Villages with a few thousand gold were already fairly well-off and were considered to have the potential to become towns after a couple of years or decades.

On the other hand, the average wealth of a Level 1 Town (according to the Ferrol Journal) was a few tens of thousands. This meant that upgrading the Training Hall to this level could easily suck up an entire territory’s funds!

Fortunately, that was not her problem and just upgraded it. She was kind enough to remember to send an alert this time so no one would get too shocked when they get kicked out of the building while it upgraded.

She waited for about ten minutes and just sat at a bench (smiling at the people who greeted her by the way) and only then did she say ‘Yes’.

[The Upgrade of Training Hall (Lv2) to Training Hall (Lv3) has now commenced.]

She then headed towards where the Training Hall was and, unsurprisingly, encountered quite a crowd watching the magic.

“Amazing…” one said. “As expected of a territory upgrade! We get to see these things again!”

“I heard the farmlands are getting upgrades too!” he said. “My team’s already gathering the funds for it!”

“Oh yeah, I heard about that!” another responded. “How exciting! Wouldn’t that mean the prices of goods will decrease soon?”

“Probably not too much, especially in the first few years—the cost of upgrade isn’t exactly cheap.”

“We’re investing in vertical farm equipment,” another voice butted in. “Imagine how much our productivity will spike!”

“Wow, you’ll be even richer! Send me a great gift for my birthday, yeah?”

“What do you want?”

“A bike.”

“Eh…”

On her other side, she heard similar conversations.

“AH, I’ll never get tired of this!” she heard someone say, sighing dreamily. It was nearby so she turned to see who it was. It was an aborigine and next to him was a Terran.

“It’s not like we don’t get new buildings every couple of months,” the Terran said, acting cool though his eyes were dilated as he stared at the building slowly being built up.

“Besides, we just upgraded, it was a given we’d get new stuff and upgrades!”

The aborigine shook his head. “You frog in a well. In other territories, the more common construction would just be houses,” he said, using Terran idioms with familiarity. “Only Alterra could create and upgrade special buildings at the rate it’s going!”

“Oh?” the Terran said, smirking. “Well, obviously that’s the case.”

He was very smug.

Althea smiled and shook her head as she watched along with them. When people saw she was there, she was gently led to a better watching position and chairs magically appeared next to her so she could sit more comfortably.

“…thank you,” she said, just appreciating their gesture. The people smiled, embarrassed, saying it was nothing and they’d bring her a throne if they had one.

“…”

Anyway, the crowd grew bigger and bigger and they watched the four-storey building add another floor. It also seemed to have more stable walls somehow.

[Training Hall (Lv2) has now been upgraded to Max Training Hall (Lv3)]

[Monsters up to Level 30 can now be manifested.]

As before, the experience would probably be smaller than the experience gained from actual monsters. Regardless, it was definitely a welcome upgrade.

A lot of people must be very curious—what it’d be like to fight against such monsters. Although the average of Town monsters was Level 15 or so, monsters past Level 20 and an occasional Level 30—especially for the peak towns—were not uncommon either.

They had heard a few tales from aborigines (and even Helios when he was adventuring in Bleulle) and they knew it’d be a tough fight if those damned things decided to venture into their area.

She also received the customization of price options and priced proportionally, though with obvious premium costs from Level 20 to 30, considering the differences in cost for them. There was a minimum amount, of course, considering some proceeds were going elsewhere.

As before, it could be accessed purely by contribution points. For the copper the system automatically took to send to the ‘developer’, it just converted the points to money according to its current value.

Other than that, there didn’t seem to be a lot of differences. To be honest, considering the costs, she was expecting a bit more.

Of course, the prices were usually fair, so she didn’t dare underestimate its actual function when it was used.

Anyway, she made another set of announcements to encourage its use—ideally, so they could know and discover all of its features as soon as possible.

[The Territory Training Hall has been upgraded! Monsters up to Level 30 can now be manifested. All guards will be given priority use for a period of 3 days!]

[All permanent residents shall be given a discount of 50% of the usual rates for the first 7 days of usage, 30% for temporary residents.]

[Let’s increase the territory’s strength even more! Let’s work hard together!!]

This naturally caused the crowd around her to cheer, making Althea both flinch and smile at their energy.

“YAY!”

“Amazing!!” another said. “I can try stronger monsters now!”

“Wow, you haven’t even beat Level 2 Hall.”

“…” So rude.
