Richard’s attention focused on another aspect after he considered the properties of the building a few times.

Advanced buildings needed heroes to move in before research and development functions could be activated.

The future territory development will be closely related to heroes. There will be technological advantages with more heroes and strong potential.

Fortunately, Richard had already recruited Adele earlier, the talented A-rank hero.

He wanted to ensure Twilight City’s technology would not be left behind.

He recollected his thoughts and focused on leveling up the territory.

He could upgrade the level because the population had stuck for a week.

It was too difficult to get a population in the desert.

His intuition tells him that the future population might be the biggest obstacle to Twilight City’s upgrade.

[Ding~ Do you want to use 20,000 gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore to level up your territory?…]

“Confirm.”

When he confirmed, the yellow sand light immediately shrouded the emptied Lord’s mansion.

It seemed covered by a layer of the mysterious veil from the outside. And it is not real.

The bluestone floor of Twilight City continued to extend outwards and swallowed the rolling yellow sand at the same time… The territory expanded rapidly.

Three hours later, the light faded.

[Ding~ Twilight City has been upgraded to a level 2 small city. The territory has expanded by 50 empty s.p.a.ces. The current s.p.a.ce is 56 s.p.a.ces.”

Richard looked at the system notification and was delighted.

Previously, the upgrade from a level 3 village to a level 1 small city had only expanded by 30 empty s.p.a.ces. In comparison, the higher the territory level, the greater the expansion range with each upgrade.

Among the newly built buildings in the past few days, the winery occupied ten empty s.p.a.ces, the food workshop occupied 10, the stable occupied 4, and the residence occupied 30.

The remaining 60 empty s.p.a.ces from the previous upgrade had gone through a series of projects, leaving only 6. Now that they had obtained 50, the pressure had decreased.

To upgrade to a level 3 town required 30,000 units of gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore, four high-level buildings, and a population of 1,000 people.

The population was enough, but the attribute panel only had less than 50,000 units of resources left.

After several rounds of leveling up, the resources were insufficient again.

Richard pondered at the territory level ranking. A level 2 city pushed Twilight City into the top 10,000,000.

At this time, the top 1,000 lords had all reached level 3.

However, more than half a month had pa.s.sed, and the territory that had reached level 3 first had yet to level up.

One could see it would not be so easy to level up any further.

Since Richard was short of resources, he was too lazy to continue the building upgrade. After closing the forum, he suddenly thought of something.

He took out the precious 3-star resource treasure from the system s.p.a.ce — 100 mu of sand barley.

[Sand Barley (Resource treasure)]

[Level: 3-stars]

[Range: 100 acres]

[Specialty: It must be planted in the desert. It requires a certain amount of water to irrigate. Ripens once a month.]

[Description: A Resource treasure that belongs exclusively to the desert.]

It was the goal of conquering the oasis. Who would have thought this would involve ruins in the end?

The most important after returning to the territory was to transform the gains from the expedition into genuine battle strength to enrich the heritage of Twilight City.

After Richard pondered in his heart, he didn’t waste any more time and went straight to the Russian olive forest.

This area was the agricultural planting area of Twilight City. The future output would be here.

As far as the eye could see, the lush and verdant fruit trees were already full of red-spotted Russian olives.

Each string is densely packed, one after another.

It made people feel happy, but at the same time, they couldn’t help but sigh at the tenacity of the tree trunk.

Xina was currently in a daze in the forest. She was particularly interested to see the olive trees heavily jammed with fruits and the bees that flew back and forth.

The fierce aura of the hundred battle-veteran on her body had also eased up a lot.

Richard did not disturb this hero with a starkly unique style of battle fighting. He proceeded to the west side of the olive forest alone, a few hundred meters away.

The terrain of this area was relatively flat. There were no large slopes, so it was suitable to plant the sand barley.

However, even if it wasn’t flat, it wasn’t a big deal… He could control the yellow sand with his Beyond A-rank skill. He could produce instant sand mountain if he wanted.

“If I plant these 100 acres of sand barley, this desert will become an oasis…”

As Richard pondered, he opened the [Trading Market].

Search…for spring water.

The previous week had been drought week. Many lords had a vast demand for water, so no one hung on it.

After the drought week, the number of treasures in this area increased.

Spring water (1-star resource treasure) — 50,000 units of iron ore

Spring water (1-star resource treasure) — 48,000 gold coins

Spring water…

The quant.i.ty was not small, and the price was around 40,000 to 60,000 resources.

During this half a month, the lords were adapting to this world. Most of them understood what was valuable and not.

Luckily, not many lords needed spring water. Otherwise, the price would be even higher.

Richard instantly chose the lowest price to buy, 45,000 units of wood.

He had only a few thousand units left after he had gathered all the resources on hand and exchanged all of them for wood.

He was horrendously poor.

[Ding~ Transaction successful. You have lost 15,000 units of wood and obtained spring water (1-star treasure) * 1.]

When the spring water was in his hands, he directly buried it into the sand under his feet.

The next second.

‘Puff!’

A gravel-laiden column of water erupted from the ground. Under the sunset, it brought out a rainbow.

The column of water gradually lowered and began to gurgle out. The surrounding sand was soaked and turned into hard blocks. Then, clear water washed away the gravel and turned them into the sand.

Richard touched the water droplets on his face and happily placed the sparkling treasure in his hand into the sand beside the spring water.

The clear water slowly flowed onto the treasure…

A few bubbles appeared. A green seedling poked its head out from the sand a moment later.

Then, it grew upwards at a visible speed.

The birth of life.

Every time Richard saw this scene, he would always feel comfortable all over.

After the green sprout poked its head out, he did not stay any longer and immediately turned around to leave.

After he walked out of the sand barley range, he turned around and saw a green seedling had emerged from the ground.

On the yellow sand, the seedling broke through the soil.

This extremely contrasting scene made people gasp in amazement.

A miracle of life.

The 100-acre area was ten times wider than the Russian olive forest.

It matured once a month. This resource treasure tremendously guaranteed the food safety of Twilight City.

These were all the results of his expeditions, and Richard couldn’t help but be delighted.

When he reached the Russian olive forest, he called the fat aunt who was in charge of managing the olives over.

The fat aunt’s face, which looked like a red apple cut in half, left a deep impression on him.

“I’ve placed a G.o.d-given item that can grow sand barley in that area, and I’ve given it all to you to manage. If you don’t have enough people, ask Karu for provision.”

The fat aunt was exceedingly excited. She spoke in a unique, fast tone.

“Thank you for trusting, Lord!

“I’ll ultimately manage the Russian olive forest and sand barley well!”

After she said that, she seemed to have thought of something and hesitated.

“Lord, those poisonous wasps have been eating our bees recently…”

When Richard heard this, he could not help but think of the terrible figure that kept waving its branches and bombarding the earth from the dusky sky.

G.o.d’s Ancient Tree, Level 10 Advanced Boss.

“This matter has touched upon an exceedingly panic-stricken existence. I will resolve it sometime…

“Everyone is forbidden to talk about the poisonous wasps. You are to supervise them…”

When the fat aunt heard this, she immediately patted her chest firmly and agreed. She promised she would not let anyone else talk about it.

Richard nodded. He felt slightly annoyed in his heart.

Sooner or later, he would dig up that ancient human-faced giant tree and plant it in Twilight City. He would let the poisonous wasps guard the Russian olive forest.

He did not believe they would not be able to do anything to a tree after a period of development.

The bees that were eaten would be treated as fertilizing each other in advance.
