Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

In the end, Sui An chose the third option.

[Enhancement 3: Reduces the final energy consumption of your territory buildings by 10%]

He believed that he would obtain higher-quality blueprints from the cheat system in the future, and the costs at that time would be even more terrifying.

When Sui An clicked to select the third option, a new interface popped up on the control panel.

[Promotion requirements have been unlocked based on your career path]

【晋升条件1：除初始建筑以外，已建设建筑种类（5/5）、已建设建筑数量（27/10）】

【晋升条件2：秘银源核（0/1）、天丝线矿精（0/2）、基础源质材料（3/20）、2级源石（20/10）】

Two promotion conditions appeared before Sui An. As for the first condition, the type and quantity of buildings, it had already been completed, thanks in large part to the new wall.

I only need to gather two core materials now, and that will be enough.

"Is promotion really that easy?"

Sui An stroked his chin and suddenly felt that this thing was far too easy.

"He Chong took two years to reach level 3, but it feels like I took less than a year..."

I also took a look at my blueprint library, which still only had the beginner pool and hadn't changed much. I might need to unlock three blueprints before things would change.

But I recently spent a lot of money building a wall, so I can't worry about this now.

A guaranteed pull costs 540 Originium. I did 20 pulls, so I still need 480. It seems like I'm making a lot, and I have a lot to use.

"I'm still poor~ I have too few ways to make money on my own."

"It seems that's not how a lord should act."

……

"What's your way to make money?" Wang Zhen asked speechlessly as he took the slip of paper that Sui An handed him, which listed the three types of materials Sui An wanted.

"If there were a way to make money, why would I be struggling to drive a sports car..."

"One Mithril Source Core and two Celestial Silk Thread Ore Essence—is this the territory promotion materials you requested?"

"Yeah~" Sui An nodded. He had a bit of a headache, wondering if these two materials were worth anything.

Are these two things expensive?

Wang Zhen recalled for a moment that he had previously purchased materials for other territories while driving a sports car, and he seemed to remember them.

"I did trade Mithril Source Core once. It wasn't expensive; it was just a green material that cost 30 Source Stones. As for Celestial Silk Thread Essence, that shouldn't be expensive either."

"That's good~" Sui An breathed a sigh of relief. He still had several buildings to upgrade in the future, and if he needed too many, he would be in a real hurry.

Wang Zhen rolled his eyes at Sui An and stuffed the note into his pocket.

"I wonder where all your Originium went. If I had as many assets as you, I could retire comfortably..."

"Territory is a money-devouring beast, Brother Zhen, you wouldn't understand unless you're a lord~"

Sui An ran up to the bald man and the others, staring at them as they weighed piles of things, leaving the bald man completely bewildered.

He thought for a moment, then asked with a smile, "Brother Sui, this is the first time I've seen you care about weighing meat after selling it so many times. Are you worried that we're cheating?"

The big guy carried the meat down, and inadvertently kicked the bald guy.

Sui An squatted on the ground and complained softly, "Sigh, I'm so poor. Look, I'll be broke after I finish building this huge wall..."

"Money, what's money if you don't spend it?" The bald man understood what Sui An was being dramatic about and offered a symbolic word of comfort.

"It's over~" The big guy next to him looked at Wang Zhen who was walking over and shouted, "Level 1 is 8000 jin, Level 2 is 800 jin, that's all."

"Okay, let's load it onto the truck." Wang Zhen nodded. "What about these 67 Originium Stones? Should we save them for you to buy materials?"

Sui An squatted there, watching Wang Hu pile the scraps of meat together: "Hmm, more or less, we'll make up the difference~"

"Hey, wait a minute!" Wang Zhen suddenly shouted, drawing everyone's attention. He blushed and then asked with a smile.

"With so many source beasts, you didn't get any loot today? That doesn't seem like your luck."

This time it was Sui An's turn to roll his eyes: "Tiger found a white one, which contained 10 basic materials. It's like he didn't find anything at all..."

Perhaps yesterday's battle went too smoothly, without any risk, and even the will of the Origin Realm couldn't stand it anymore, so it gave a white reward as a token gesture.

"Haha, you've finally met your match! I thought you were always coming up with amazing stuff!"

Wang Zhen sat down in the car with a smile, looked at Wang Hu who was working hard in the distance, and chuckled at Sui An, "Alright, now that you have a strongman to do the work, you've taken the first step as a landlord."

"Withdraw!"

"Bye-Bye"

Sui An waved to him casually, then turned and quickly pointed in another direction: "Tiger, pile them up over there. It's closer to the stone statue, and it'll be good for fishing for beasts at night."

Wang Hu gave Sui An a thumbs up: "Little An, you're so smart!"

"I feel like you're talking about me~" Sui An went back into the house and came out with a shovel.

"How about I lock up a stone statue tonight so you can practice fishing for Source Beasts?"

Wang Hu shook his head, leaning on his shovel: "It feels a bit dangerous. Don't use me as bait."

"Then let's just pick up the scraps from the usual scraps."

"Okay~"

Another day passed peacefully.

Wang Zhen couldn't wait to bring over the territory upgrade materials: "Your three materials cost a total of 70 source stones. Consider the extra 2 as my red envelope. Upgrade quickly so I can see."

Sui An eagerly took the small bag, which contained three silver metal cores. One was pure silver, without any impurities; the other was also silver, but its surface was covered with silk-like metallic patterns, making it look very special.

After putting the materials away, Sui An suddenly realized that he didn't have enough basic source materials in his inventory. He glanced at his source stones and found that he still had 271 level 1 stones and 28 level 2 stones.

"I'm still missing 7 sets of basic materials. I'll just do one 10-pull this time since the quantity isn't large. Anyway, I'll keep pulling from this pool."

Summoning the beginner pool, Sui An poured in 30 Originium and did a 10-pull. As expected, he got 10 sets of basic Originium materials.

Sui An remained unfazed and clicked the upgrade button on the territory control interface.

The light at the core of the territory began to rapidly diminish, as if it had been extinguished, resembling an ordinary crystal ball.

The buildings outside remained unchanged, but the energy shield dissipated automatically.

Standing in the courtyard, Wang Zhen looked up at the sky and murmured enviously.

"Has it started?"

As time passed, after about 10 seconds, the core of the territory began to glow, becoming brighter and brighter, even dazzling.

Not only that, even the core of the territory is expanding, although it's only slightly larger.

Suddenly, the external energy shield automatically activated, and a huge transparent light shield expanded rapidly, from its original radius of 10 meters outwards until it stabilized at a position of 20 meters.

Inside the wooden house, Sui An looked at the gradually stabilizing core of his territory and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew~ Level 2 territory achieved!"
