A moment later, his expression sparingly changed.
The message he was most concerned about had changed.
[Resources Recruitment Requirement: 300 units of gemstones, 300 units of crystals.]
“Good heavens, previously, it was 200 units of gemstones and crystals, but now it increased to 300 units?”
!!
It directly increased by 50%.
They had to produce 110 weekly with 11 stone lairs. That would be 33,000 gemstones and 33,000 crystals.
It would be 132,000 + 132,000, a total of 264,000 every four weeks.
That was a lot of money. The current income of Twilight City could barely cover it. They could draw extra money from other sources if accidents happened.
However, these resources were worth it compared to the battle power of the stone statue of the dead.
No matter how much he invested, it would not be a loss.
‘Wuuu!’
A soft moan behind him brought Richard back to his senses.
He turned his head and saw Adele propped herself while she lay on the bed in a daze.
It widened his eyes but didn’t confuse him.
Adele rubbed her eyes.
When she saw Richard, she suddenly woke up.
“Lord, Lord Richard…”
“Why are you here?”
Richard was speechless.
He couldn’t help but laugh at her cute appearance and shook his head.
“I’ve been here for a while.”
As he spoke, he was full of praise.
“Adele, you did a great job.”
The girl sat up and saw the bandages from the mighty stone statue of the dead.
She immediately pouted.
She said pitifully.
“Lord Richard, I wanted to give you a surprise…”
Richard was quite amused by her cute appearance.
He stepped forward and rubbed the other party’s head.
“I’m already surprised. You did great, Adele.
“You are a gift from the gods, a treasure of Twilight City.”
“The strength of the stone statue of the dead exceeded my expectations.
“This will prepare us for the dangerous situation to come.”
Adele’s eyes were watery when she heard this generous praise. She looked a little embarrassed, but she was also delighted and proud.
However, she could not help but frown when she heard the last sentence.
“Lord Richard… Are we going to face great danger?”
The new expansion pack could cause the death of a god. As well as the god of the dog-headed who had offended and tricked the King of Decay…
He would not believe Twilight City wouldn’t be in danger in the future.
Each of these changes could affect its fate.
He had to be careful.
Adele quickly stood up and looked straight at Richard when she saw he did not speak.
“Lord, please give me more psionic gemstones… I can continue working.”
Her tone was firm.
It warmed Richard’s heart.
Perhaps, that was why he felt a sense of accomplishment in building such a city.
They were willing to give up everything for Twilight City.
Karu was like this, Sam was like this, and so was Adele…
He pinched the other party’s face and said unhappily.
“What have you become? Work? Don’t tell me you want to enter the cemetery of heroes before Karu.
“Don’t mind about it. There will be many dangers in the future, but they are not urgent enough to make you risk your life.
“Rest well. I have more important tasks for you. Who will complete them if you collapse from exhaustion?”
His face immediately turned stiff when he saw Adele still wanted to say something.
“You are not allowed to enter the blacksmith shop for a week. I will have someone watch you.”
Adele suddenly calmed down and looked at Richard pitifully.
“My Lord!”
Richard ignored her coquettish words and turned to look at the stone statue of the dead.
“From today onwards, you will guard and protect Adele. She is not allowed to enter the blacksmith shop again.”
Adele suddenly knelt on one knee, and an ethereal voice sounded.
“I will obey your orders, my Lord!”
These soldiers all had the intelligence of ordinary people. They could not lead troops to fight like heroes, but it was not a problem for them to carry out orders.
Adele felt Richard wronged her.
It was worse than going to jail if she could not enter the blacksmith shop for a week.
“Lord…”
Richard didn’t dwell on the subject and got down to business.
“Adele, what kind of troop do you think is suitable to reinforce with spiritual gemstone next?”
They had reinforced the most soul-devouring stone statue of the dead.
He could only choose other troops.
Adele said slowly after thinking she pondered.
“There are no suitable troops at the moment… Moreover, you have two fusion crystals that can create two powerful soldiers.
“Why don’t we wait for the new troop to be born before reinforcement?”
Richard nodded.
He thought for a moment and continued.
“Do you have any suggestions on how to reinforce the troop?”
The young lady was an expert in this aspect.
“We already have a flying troop, the stone statue of the dead, which is powerful enough to control the air,” Andai said seriously.
“There’s no need to invest resources in it now. The more you do, the more benefits you get.
“A complete troop should not only have an air force.
“We should consider other aspects.”
Richard nodded and asked with interest.
“In those aspects?”
Adele said with certainty.
“Ground troops, long-range troops, and spellcasters.”
“Ground troops, Sam is developing the technology of the poisonous scorpion. It could alleviate the pressure in this area when he finished the reinforcement.
“Because we are in the desert, this has always been our strong point. So we can stay behind.
“At present, our long-range troops and spellcasters are not weak, although they are not yet strong. We just don’t have any troops that we can use.
“We can consider these two aspects.”
Although Adele’s analysis was simple and not profound, it was with Richard’s thoughts on Twilight City troops.
It was important for a troop to be mighty. There could be no shortcomings.
The stone statues of the dead were his favorite, so he would invest in them as soon as he had resources.
That also led to the birth of this super-powerful troop.
Now that the stone statue of the dead had taken shape, it was time to take care of the other troops.
“I will think about it seriously.”
Richard said solemnly.
He decided to go to the [Trading Market] later to see suitable troops for the current Twilight City.
It had been a long time since he had purchased several troop lairs.
The other troops were strong enough, but the higher the level, the more resources they had to invest.
Twilight City did not have the confidence to attack without restraint. He could not use them even if one gave him a thousand crown-level troop lairs,
The resources needed for this thing to recruit every week could make him bankrupt.
“In the end, it’s still back to making money.”
It amused Richard.
However, he immediately became energetic again.
“It wouldn’t be long before the underground world can produce something. When the Black Sorbet is into production, and we have expanded the production capacity of the Whitetail Wine, these top products will immediately bring back more profits.”
“Farming for so long is not in vain.”
The essence of managing a territory was to develop the economy. Earning money could make the residents live happily and build a more potent troop.
