128 Chapter 122: Advanced Buildings for Extraordinary Power Research [3/3]
"Relevant talents have been currently selected from the residents to join them.
"However, there are currently no horses or camels in the stables, so they can not use the livestock for the time being.
"Currently, the distillery lacks wine recipes and raw materials, and the food workshop lacks research and development talents... We must replenish all of them."
Richard raised his eyebrows.
Damn, they had everything they needed...
"What about the Russian olive forest?"
A smile appeared on Karu's face.
"The Russian olive forest has gradually matured. We can pick olives in a few days. The estimated output is 80,000 units, which can provide enormous raw materials.
"We can use the olives at that time to develop fruit wine. And we can also produce food like olive candies, which can extensively alleviate our needs.
"As for the Desert Crown Honey, due to the influence of its flowering period, we can only produce the lowest yield of 35 units of honey from the three hives of bees.
"Maybe, it's because we don't have enough pollen, and we haven't found any signs of a nest for the time being.
"Additionally, the fire dragon rabbit has begun to shed its hair. We could weave blankets from the harvest.
"The 42 young rabbits have already grown to half the size of the adult fire dragon rabbit. The desert gnomes expect to enter estrus next month, and it won't be long before they give birth to new cubs.
"Eight adult fire dragon rabbits will reproduce again next month. There will be five adult female rabbits and 30 female cubs.
"The number of fire dragon rabbits in each nest is between 8 to 12, and the time for them to give birth is around a month.
"It is estimated that we will harvest hundreds of young rabbits in mid-August..."
'Why are these guys so rare when they can produce so many babies?'
As if he could see through Richard's question, Karu continued.
"After the fire dragon rabbits breed to a certain number, they will have fewer babies and will no longer reproduce indefinite number..."
Richard nodded. He could only sigh at how big the world was. There were all kinds of strange things.
In just over a month, they would be able to grow from a baby to a mature stage. Moreover, they could continue to reproduce seamlessly.
This thing could only be worthy of being called a solar-powered board... It was too magical.
"Make sure to take precautions. The fire dragon rabbit is of great importance. There must not be any mistakes."
"Yes, Lord."
Karu continued.
Richard also asked several questions after Karu's another ten minutes of reporting.
When he finished asking, he had directly understood the current situation of the territory.
The development did not stop just because he left.
The city grew in the desert deep rapidly.
Karu, the butler, did a substantial job.
Richard walked out of the Lord's Mansion and came to the residential houses after he dealt with trivial administrative matters through Karu's reminder.
In front of him were 30 basic houses and ten intermediate houses.
The comparison between the upgraded houses and the unupgraded houses was distinct.
In the attribute panel, there were still over 100,000 resources.
To upgrade a basic house to an intermediate level required 500 wood and 500 gold coins.
Thirty houses meant 15,000 and 15,000 units of resources – 30,000 in total.
That was not a lot.
After getting people to summon the residents, they directly chose to upgrade.
A wave of yellow sand covered the buildings in front of him. Thirty basic houses had upgraded to elite level under the cries of the new residents.
Ten original houses added to 40 elite could accommodate 1,200 people.
Twilight City only had 1,000 people at this time, which was enough to meet the demand.
Richard was not in a hurry to leave after upgrading the residential houses. Instead, he opened the territory stats panel.
[Twilight City]
[Level: 1 Small City (10,000 units of gold, stone, wood, and iron ore required to level up. Three buildings have reached an advanced level, 500 residents.)]
Territorial upgrades had always been at the back of his plans. In contrast, he preferred to invest his resources into military power.
So, even though he had a glorious-level troop, his territory was still a pitiful level 1 small city.
However, the player dungeon examines the overall strength of the territory. The territory level was still unknown.
To be safe, he had to raise the territory's level.
They met the population requirement for the upgrade. Only three advanced buildings was lacking.
The blacksmith's shop was currently the only advanced building in Twilight City. They still needed two more upgrades.
Richard looked at the food workshop and the winery after he pondered...
Without hesitation.
He spent two hours upgrading these two buildings from ordinary to advanced.
After reaching the advanced level, The attributes of the two buildings changed dramatically when the buildings had reached the advance level.
It surprised Richard.
[Winery (10 spaces)]
[Level: Advanced (50,000 units of wood and 50,000 units of stone are required to upgrade.)]
[Characteristics: The wine produced from this wine will increase its taste by 30%, making it more fragrant and mellow.]
[Research and Development: Can develop advanced wine that can temporarily increase strength after drinking (Requires hero units to activate).]
[Resident Hero: None]
[Hero's Additional Characteristics: None]
[Capacity: Minimum of 10 people, maximum of 100 people]
[Description: Advanced winery can develop wine with extraordinary strength.]
**
[Food Workshop (10 spaces)]
[Level: Advanced (30,000 units of iron ore, 30,000 units of wood, and 30,000 units of stone are required to level up)]
[Characteristics: The taste of the food produced will be increased by 30%.]
[Research and Development: Can develop advanced food that can quickly restore one's stamina after consumption (requires hero units to activate).]
[Resident Hero: None]
[Hero's Additional Characteristic: None]
[Capacity: Minimum of 10 people, maximum of 100 people]
[Introduction: The high-level food workshop can already develop food with extraordinary power.]
"So, this is the correct way to open a building!... Only high-level buildings can be considered buildings!"
Richard finally understood why the other lords were keen on upgrading their territories.
Upgrading their territories seemed to be more in line with traditional orthodoxy...
He seemed to be a big step behind in this regard.
However, Richard immediately adjusted his mood.
"What orthodoxy... I want them all!"
