[Unopened Building 2: Small Wooden Desk, Rough Iron Chain]
Xia Hong didn’t rush to upgrade the other seven already opened buildings but instead focused on the last two unopened buildings.
[Small Wooden Desk, Opening Conditions: 10,000 Iron, 3,000 Silver]
His mind stirred slightly, and the system resources imdiately decreased. Just like the first ti opening a building, a white light appeared before him.
After a long ti, the white light disappeared, and a black four-cornered desk appeared out of thin air in front of him.
Small Wooden Desk (Level 1): Cultivation Auxiliary Tool
Special Function: Doubles the user’s cultivation speed
Consumption: 20 Silver per day
Upgrade Conditions: 100,000 Iron, 20,000 Silver
Seeing the simple description of the Small Wooden Desk, Xia Hong was montarily stunned. Then, recalling the descriptions of the other eight buildings when they were first unlocked, he imdiately reacted and without hesitation, proceeded with consecutive upgrades.
The Small Wooden Desk was enveloped by three bursts of white light, finally transforming into a five-ter-tall silver twelve-petal lotus platform in front of him.
Enlightennt Lotus Platform (Level 4): Cultivation Auxiliary Tool
Special Function 1: Can increase the user’s cultivation speed by five tis
Consumption: 50 Silver per day
Special Function 2: Can enter an epiphany state, greatly enhancing comprehension, limited to once a month, requiring 50,000 Silver resources
Special Function 3: Can enter the Lotus Platform space to extrapolate cultivation techniques and martial arts, costing 5,000 Silver each ti, no usage limit.
Special Function 4: Can perform skill enhancent, limited to once a year, requiring 100,000 Silver, with a maximum success rate of twenty percent based on the user’s skill level.
Upgrade Consumption: 150,000 Silver, 8,000 Gold
......
After reading the description of the Enlightennt Lotus Platform, Xia Hong took a deep breath, his eyes full of joy and emotion.
Even though he didn’t quite understand the fourth function, and the terrifying consumption of 100,000 Silver could only yield a twenty percent success rate, it nearly discouraged him from using this function in the short term.
However, the first three function descriptions made his heart race with excitent.
Fivefold cultivation speed; a monthly epiphany; and entering the Lotus Platform space to extrapolate cultivation techniques and martial arts. These three functions perfectly compensated for all his cultivation issues, arriving at just the right mont.
"Small Wooden Desk, I had guessed it had sothing to do with cultivation and education. As expected, according to the pattern that the greater the resources consud, the stronger the function, the most powerful function of the Enlightennt Lotus Platform should be the fourth one, skill enhancent. Could it really be what I’m thinking?"
Evidently, Xia Hong’s mind had connected so dots, and a trace of emotion flickered in his eyes. But seeing the terrifying consumption of 100,000 Silver per use and the subsequent twenty percent success rate, he quickly cald himself down.
"No, no, it’s not feasible to be so wasteful for now, at least not until the Silver Mine has been mined for a while. Just wait a bit longer..."
[Resources: 197.24 million Wood, 127.62 million Coal, 12.5 million Iron, 27,000 Silver]
From the Level 1 Small Wooden Desk to the Level 4 Enlightennt Lotus Platform, a total of 173,000 Silver and an astonishing 1.71 million Iron were consud.
Fortunately, the remaining seven buildings, except for the Black Soil Wall and Yellow Earth, require little Silver to upgrade from Level 3 to Level 4.
However, Xia Hong didn’t rush to upgrade; instead, he turned to Xia Chuan and solemnly instructed, "I need Silver, a lot of Silver. Lead the Cloud Jiao Army back to the Silver Mine, and along with the Long Wu and Tulong armies, continue full-scale mining for a month. After a month, resu normal mining levels."
"Understood, big brother!"
Seeing Xia Hong’s serious expression, Xia Chuan nodded heavily imdiately.
"Oh, by the way, the people from Songyang Ridge have agreed to rge in. I heard there are a total of 110,000 people over there. Isn’t Xia City already running out of space?"
Xia Hong, upon checking the system earlier, noticed that the population had already reached a staggering 510,000 and asked imdiately.
Upon hearing this, Xia Chuan nodded and replied, "The Outer City Four Districts are already full. We can only increase land prices to minimize land use, encouraging more people to reside together. But even this thod is ineffective; once the 110,000 from Songyang Ridge rge in, there might not even be enough temporary log houses."
"We need another round of expansion, and the city walls also need replacing. I have a plan, but you should go attend to your affairs first!"
"Yes, sir!"
Xia Chuan bowed and departed, leaving Xia Hong standing alone in the Political Hall, his gaze gradually heating up as he looked at the dicine Workshop, Artifact Refining Workshop, and Martial Arts Academy behind the main building.
