Sam and Shanna’s wedding was the most lively celebration since the establishment of Twilight City.
Everyone was in high spirits. Smiles shrouded their faces.
They held a bonfire party with singing and dancing after the grand banquet.
Richard didn’t join in the revelry. Most people couldn’t relax with him around.
!!
He returned to the Lord’s mansion alone and listened to the lively sounds from outside. His mood was quite comfortable.
He watched his territory prosper bit by bit and slowly grow. Until now, everyone loved and acknowledged him.
It was a feeling that outsiders could hardly understand.
A sense of accomplishment filled his purpose.
Richard glanced at the system notification after he recollected his thoughts.
It has finally upgraded the long-stagnant Leadership Skill to the advanced level with the support of this wedding.
[Leadership Skill: Special Skill, Advanced Level. 1. You have strong charisma and have enormously increased attractiveness to the opposite sex. 2. Able to easily persuade and influence subordinates and make them zealously trust you. 3. There is a high chance that wild troops with lower levels and heroes with lower potential than you will take the initiative to join.]
Compared to the elite-level Leadership Skill, several critical attributes of the advanced Leadership Skill, it had improved personal charm, trust of subordinates, and attracting wild troops and heroes to join.
That couldn’t be bad, although he didn’t have specific data.
The only pity was…That was a f*cking desert.
“If it was in a rich place outside, I’m afraid there would be several refugees in the territory every day. I can see heroes every three to five days.”
The desert was a godforsaken place. One cannot see even a single person. What could be the use even if it was the most attractive?
A clever wife wouldn’t cook without rice.
Would she show it to the air no matter how charming she was?
Richard could only shake his head.
He continued to look at another notification.
The additional attributes also increased vastly after the popularity of the people reached 95 points.

Compared to the elite-level Leadership Skill, several critical attributes of the advanced Leadership Skill, it had improved personal charm, trust of subordinates, and attracting wild troops and heroes to join.
His other characteristics had also improved.
The most important thing to him was that if he did not encounter any special circumstances, the people’s hearts would not fall anymore.
That meant Twilight City could develop freely.
Whether it expanded the number of residents or formulated policies, they did not have to worry about the adverse reaction of the residents and caused the hearts of the people to fall.
Richard picked up the teacup and sipped.
It was not in vain that he had invested so much in the people’s livelihood. The returns were so sweet now.
The only pity was that the higher the popularity of the people, the harder it would be to increase it. He couldn’t know if he would still have the chance to see what 100 points looked like.
On the third day after the wedding, the newlywed Sam gave up his honeymoon vacation, which was specially approved by Richard, and returned to the blacksmith shop to start researching the attack technology of the dead stone statue.
Richard initially wanted to see if he could upgrade the sandstorm controller’s technology… But in the end, he had no choice but to give up.
They have to study the Wild Sand Mage troop in the wizard tower.
Meanwhile, Twilight City had yet to build a wizard tower.
He did have the blueprints in his hands, but he did not have such arrangements.
The wizard tower would become a money-grubber once he activated it. It was arduous to handle.
He would take it slow first and wait for a few industries to develop.
[Ding~ Stone Statue of the Dead Beginner Attack, Estimated Development Time: 30 days. Estimated resources required: 10,000 units of crystals, 10,000 units of gemstones, and 10,000 units of sulfur. Success Rate: 80%]
The Undead Stone Statue was indeed terrifying. It required 30,000 units of rare resources to study the attack.
He only needed tens of thousands of units of ordinary resources when he researched the scorpion warriors.
The difference between the two was vast.
It would take hundreds of thousands at the advanced, special, or even transcendent level.
Richard could only feel joy and pain at the same time. Who asked the stone statue of the dead to be so mighty?
With the scorpion warrior’s transcendent-level technology, he had high expectations for the technology of the stone statue of the dead.
He did not need to reach the transcendent level of technology. As long as he had the glorious technology, the battle power of the stone statue of the dead would increase by another.
Moreover, after the psionic gemstone reinforced the stone statue of the dead, it raised the initial recruitment level from the nest to level 10.
It was the same as the 1-star Crown skeleton dragon.
That naturally made it the strongest soldier in Twilight City.
A well-deserved trump card.
Richard didn’t even blink and piled up 30,000 resources in the warehouse of the blacksmith shop.
Before Sam’s wedding, at the end of October, he went to the underground world.
