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

Chapter 92 Promotion to Level 3 and New Blueprints

"Gathering Essence Stone Heart, Mineral Marrow Spirit Essence?"

Wang Zhen took the note from Sui An, thought about it for a moment, and seemed to have no recollection of it.

"The materials used this time seem a bit unusual. Is it because of the territory enhancement effect?"

Sui An nodded: "That's right, this time I chose random and got an effect that increases the concentration of energy in the territory."

"Well, you're in luck~" Wang Zhen stuffed the note into the inner pocket of his clothes, then walked closer with a somewhat gloomy expression.

"Yesterday, you asked me to check the western black market, and I actually found that someone has put a bounty on you. However, it's not a bounty for an attack, but for information about you. The bounty is 500 Originium, which is quite high."

"It seems they really are going to make a move." Sui An sighed. Although he had some idea of ​​the outcome, the thought of being put up for bounty on the black market was still quite unsettling.

Wang Zhen was slightly taken aback: "Why?"

Sui An reached out and patted the wall, then leaned against it for a moment before explaining to Wang Zhen.

"Last night, my Rift Beast Tide relieved some of the pressure on He Chong's side. I guess that kid has already exploded."

"The second point is that the only one who knows about my territory's output is your line of work. If they put a bounty on the black market, they might not be able to find out about my output. In their eyes, it's probably just a territory with a bit of luck. With the wealth and experience of a level 5 alchemist, I think I can afford to spend money and there are people willing to take the bounty."

"Actually, as long as no level 5 or 6 professionals directly make a move, it's not a big problem. If I can level up to level 3 as soon as possible, I should be able to get my hands on level 5 professionals."

Although Wang Zhen frowned deeply after hearing this, he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Erhu and Huzi beside him and immediately made the decision.

"Then let Erhu and Huzi come back with me today to hurry up and find the materials. As long as time allows, we'll bring them back to you."

"Anyway, you can't fit all your spoils in two trucks, so let Tiger drive your little transport truck back with you."

"I'm fine with anything~"

Erhu nodded. If the train returned empty, Line 7 wouldn't be too dangerous. After all, fighting a Level 4 professional for an empty train is not worth it.

Wang Hu also raised his hand: "I can do it too! If it really doesn't work, I'll ask my mom to come with me. Anyway, it's unlikely that a blood moon will descend today."

"Okay, let's do it that way!"

After confirming the group, Wang Zhen led three vehicles, loaded with goods, back home.

It wasn't until the sun was almost setting that Erhu returned with Aunt Zhao and Wang Hu.

He handed four documents to Sui An, and Erhu also handed over a bag.

"The materials cost 422 Originium. I've exchanged the remaining Originium from selling your meat and loot materials for Level 3 Originium, just in case you don't have enough. That's a total of 60 Originium."

"OK!"

Sui An quickly took the bag and turned to Aunt Zhao, saying, "Thank you for making this trip, Aunt Zhao."

"Don't be so polite!" Zhao Feng kicked Sui An in annoyance. "It's only right to seek help from elders when you encounter problems. It's the real idiots who insist on relying on themselves."

Sui An didn't seem to mind being kicked and replied with a smile, "Aunt Zhao is right!"

Zhao Feng waved her hand dismissively: "Hurry up and level up, I want to see what leveling up looks like too~"

Sui An stopped rambling and first glanced at his detector. He had warned Aunt Zhao when she came over. After entering Aunt Zhao's information and confirming that there were no other source energy life forms within 200 meters, Sui An clicked to start the upgrade.

After all, once a territory enters an upgrade phase, many functions will be suspended because there is no territory core to provide energy.

It remains the same as Level 2; the territory core will shut down first, just like a computer.

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

The core of the territory expanded again, becoming even 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 40 meters.

"Is this all done?" Zhao Feng looked up and around. It seemed that apart from the energy shield becoming larger, there were no other changes.

"Huh, the energy concentration is increasing. Is that a territorial characteristic?"

"Yes~" Sui An nodded, "Next, I need to upgrade the buildings, which will take a lot of time. You guys take a break and have something to eat first."

Erhu and the others didn't say much, and then turned and went to Huzi's room.

Sui An returned to his room and began to observe the changes in the core of his territory.

First, energy storage remains a 4-fold increase, while basic recovery time remains 10 days.

The rest remains largely unchanged.

The rest is about upgrading his own buildings. In fact, Sui An can only upgrade 9 purple buildings right now.

As for those five blue buildings, I currently lack the core materials.

After the limited-time drawing library was closed, no new elements or functions appeared in the drawing library.

Currently, the only usable blueprint pool is the permanent pool, but there are too many places where territory promotion requires spending money, so I can only hold off on drawing cards for now. I'll wait until I've upgraded all the existing ones that I can before looking at the resources.

I currently have only 2199 Originium and 574 basic Originium materials, including 176 level 3 Originium. This should be enough for my upgrade.

Sui An looked at his upgrade interface and compiled a list of the buildings he could upgrade and the materials required.

3 [Dawn Sword Stars that Ignite the Darkness] require 5/3 Burning Wish Agates.

Three [Dandelion's Thousand Winds Barrier] require East Wind Feathers (5/3)

Three [Astrologer's Illusion Altars] require a Heart of Pure Water (5/3)

One [Small Energy Life Detection Station] requires an Electro-Magnetic Crystal (1/1).

One [Victory Banner] requires the Heart of a Rock Lion (1/1)

Adding 110 level 3 Originium stones and 110 portions of basic Originium materials will be enough.

After upgrading all the buildings, Sui An only had 1799 Originium left. After removing the remaining 66 Tier 3 Originium, he could actually use about 495.

The guaranteed minimum for the permanent pool is 540 Originium.

If the territory wall is expanded to the level 2 range, it will require more than 2400 Originium. Even if you have a stockpile of basic Originium materials, it will still require about 2000 Originium.

As for the scope of level three, that's even more exaggerated.

Therefore, whether to upgrade to level 2 or level 3 territory depends on the needs of your territory's area later.

Sui An immediately chose to start drawing cards from the permanent pool, and he still needed blue core materials to upgrade the existing elemental statues.

Opening the blueprint library, there was no newbie gift pack this time. That makes sense, since the newbie pool has become a permanent pool, so there's no newbie gift pack available.

However, a new pop-up window still appeared.

[Your Lord Core level has been upgraded to level 3. One blueprint will be randomly selected from the permanent blueprint library and added to the beginner blueprint pool. The blueprint selected this time will start at level 1.]

"Another new blue blueprint has arrived, but why is the level still 1? You're not going to give me a level 1 blueprint when I reach level 4, are you?"

Sui An clicked on the permanent pool, and sure enough, a new building had been added to the character illustration.

However, his expression was somewhat strange. He clicked on the description of the blueprint beside him, and the name on it was "Guoba's Stove Kitchen."

"The name is simple and easy to understand; both 'crispy rice crust' and 'kitchen' are related to cooking, so it's probably a building associated with a professional chef. But what the heck is this character art?!"

The newly added building illustration is not a workshop, but a cartoon bear?

Sui An didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

Do bears cook?

With a helpless sigh, Sui An had actually gotten used to the strange and unusual style of his drawings, and besides, the illustrations did not represent the final appearance of the building.

I didn't bother to investigate what this thing actually was.

Sui An directly spent 540 Originium and selected the new blueprint [Sugar Alchemy Workshop] for his wish.

He'd been eyeing this for a while; he wanted to see the full effect of the building and see if it was the one he wanted.

As for the new kitchen blueprint, let's leave it for later. Anyway, the guaranteed reward is only 540 Originium, so it's quick to get it done.

[Basic Source Material *172]

[Lightning Stone *2]

【Turquoise*2】

[Always-burning tinder*1]

[Pure Water Spirit Core *1]

[Girl's Concert Stage *1]

【Sugar Alchemy Workshop *1】

180 pulls, almost a perfect pity system, but Sui An was already quite calm, skillfully clicking on the new blueprint.

[Building Name]: Sugar Alchemy Workshop [Building Type]: Standalone Building [Building Level]: Level 1 (can be upgraded to Level 3)

[Building Quality]: Blue [Building Effect]: When a specific alchemist uses alchemy skills in this building, they will receive the following blessing effects: the source energy consumption of alchemy skills is reduced by 10%, the material consumption of alchemy skills is reduced by 10%, and it is easier to obtain alchemy skill insights.

This building can be bound to an alchemist, with a maximum of one bound at a time. The building can control the bound target. For each level the building is upgraded, the overall effect of the basic blessing increases by 25%. This blessing effect is constant and does not consume energy.

【额外消耗】：无【製造需求】：松晶石（0/1）、基础源质材料（0/30）、1级源石（0/6）

【升级需求】：松晶石（0/1）、基础源质材料（0/30）、2级源石（0/6）、

Territory Core Level (Iv2)

"Wow~" Sui An looked pleasantly surprised after seeing the results of the alchemy workshop.

"It really does enhance an alchemist's understanding!"

I was initially worried that the blue building wouldn't have the same effect as the purple building, but now it seems that the blue building is still a high-quality building.

With energy saving, consumption reduction, and increased comprehension, Sui An seems to have all the amplification effects he could think of.

The magnitude seems a bit low, only 10%, even level 3 is only 15%.

"Would it be possible for me to use this to seduce a low-level alchemist?"

"Why don't we try that one Aunt Zhao mentioned—"

Although she felt that she was teasing her mother, Sui An immediately thought of Cui Mingming.

"I'll talk to Aunt Zhao about it later!"

Returning to the building renovation interface, this workshop is indeed quite large; without expanding the walls, it's not worth considering.

Looking at the stage blueprint that had just appeared, a new inspiration emerged.

[Girl's Concert Stage]

[Inspiration (1/3)]

[Resident Singer: When activating the stage, selecting Resident Singer mode will no longer summon Starlight Water. Instead, it will significantly increase the recovery speed of Energy and Stamina. The duration and cooldown time remain unchanged.]

"Huh, the treatment has been changed to recovery. That's quite useful!"

The stage architecture was always very good, but unfortunately, everyone in my territory except for Tiger was a level 4 professional.

After Tiger reaches level 2, when his source energy is depleted, the recovery time using the stage's recovery effect alone increases from 25 minutes to 50 minutes.

Aunt Zhao and the others needed even longer. They rarely depleted their energy reserves, but they estimated that it would take about 4 hours to fully restore their energy.

However, now that we have the materials, I think the effect can be improved even further.

With the upgrades and renovations of the two elemental statues and the stage completed, Sui An has now accomplished everything he could in his territory.

Sui An stepped out of the wooden house and witnessed a scene that made him both laugh and cry.

Erhu, Zhao Feng, and Wang Hu sat side by side on the stage, with a teapot and water cups in the middle, and even two fruit platters filled with beans that Erhu liked to eat.

It evokes the feeling of enjoying a massage while chatting and having a late-night snack under the moonlight.

Upon seeing Sui An emerge, Erhu turned and waved, "All leveled up?"

"All those with the materials have been upgraded~"

Sui An strode onto the stage, which was four meters in diameter and large enough for several people to lie down on.

Erhu reached out and grabbed a handful of beans, pointed to the stage below, and asked with a smile.

"The stage has been upgraded too? I feel the therapy is even more effective now!"

"Yes, it has reached its limit."

"And what about these sculptures?" Erhu pointed to the totem altars that were almost completely surrounding the stage.

Sui An also ate a handful of beans: "Except for the elemental statue, which is still missing one, everything else is upgraded~"

"Wow, I'm starting to look forward to the power of these three killer weapons. Can they wipe me out in one hit?"

Erhu turned around and reached out to touch the crystal greatsword behind him, his eyes filled with envy.

Sui An rolled his eyes at Erhu. What was this guy talking about? Why was he comparing himself to Erhu?

"If you can hit them all, even without leveling up, you won't be able to withstand it."

"That's true. The second-in-command of the Crimson Flame Gang was also taken down in an instant. That guy had a metal attribute and a full set of green armor; he was stronger than me in a head-on fight!"

Erhu reluctantly withdrew his hand, never expecting that Xiao Anzi would become so powerful in just two months.

"After the upgrade, a level 5 professional can also be killed. A level 5 professional is not too much stronger than a level 4 professional. If five or six level 4 professionals dare to fight, they can also take down a level 5 professional. After all, it is not a qualitative change level."

"I don't know, I haven't tried it, and don't think of this thing as invincible. It's not guaranteed to hit your opponent 100% of the time."

Sui An, however, had a different view. Just like the Ice Breath Wolf King last night, as long as you dodge at a very short distance, there is a chance that you will miss.
