BXBX NOVEL Chapter 99 - 99, Level 5 Building_l
As the territory expanded and developed,
the labor shortage became increasingly apparent.
It wasn’t that there weren’t enough skeletons, but rather the finer tasks that ordinary skeletons could hardly handle.
For instance, cleaning up, doing laundry and cooking.
in the dictionary of ordinary skeletons, there simply wasn’t the notion of handling things gently.
Sanitation within the city alone was beyond the capability of a few people.
“Master, you’re back!” Eira, hearing the commotion, ran out of the Book of
Lords’ wooden house.
When she saw the rest of the Rabbitmen Clan in the carriage behind her, she looked on curiously.
-These are new citizens who have joined us. You show them around our territory.” Fang Hao looked at the teary-eyed rabbit girls.
“Oh, okay.” Eira, seeing her own clan, had a joyful expression on her face.
In a territory filled with the undead,
having a few clan members became extremely important.
After speaking with Fang Hao, she went to the center of the rabbit people and started chattering away.
They toured around the territory.
The hero Anjia glanced at Fang Hao and left with Eira.
After all, being with a beastman was always more comfortable than being with
Fang Hao.
The rabbitmen were familiarized with the surroundings by Eira.
Fang Hao, on the other hand, started preparing housing for them.
With so many people, he couldn’t let them all sleep outside.
He chose a suitable residential area and built 20 level 4 houses immediately.
A level 4 house could accommodate 4 people at the same time.
Since they’re all females and there weren’t any married couples living in families, 20 houses were enough for them. If needed, he could add more in the future.
After building the houses, Fang Hao made beds, beast skin blankets, and some
daily necessities.
Fang Hao wasn’t a slave master and he wasn’t heartless either.
Basic needs of life were still required.
Once everything was done, Fang Hao continued to check other buildings.
After these last few days, the production factory had accumulated quite an amount of construction materials.
He could upgrade existing buildings.
Firstly and most importantly, the core of all the buildings,
The Book of Lords wooden house.
[Level 5 Book of Lords Hall: Wood 3500, Stone 2200, Hardwood 1200, Brick
1000, Hemp rope 550, Iron 220.]
He previously lacked hardwood and bricks, but now he had enough to build.
Upgrade.
In an instant, a beam of light enveloped the Book of Lords’ wooden house and when the beam faded, a magnificent three-story stone building stood before him.
[Level 5 Book of Lords Stone Tower]
[Owner: Fang Hao]
[Ability: Production/Collection +2%, Troop Movement +2%, All attributes
+l°/o]
[Current Buildings: Level 4 Underground Cemetery, Level 4 Warehouse, Level 4 Burial Grounds, Level 4 Lumberjack’s Hut, Level 4 Ranch, Level 2 Spiritual Field, Level 4 City Wall, Level 4 Arrow Tower, Level 4 Courtyard of the Departed, Level 4 Undead Mage Tower, Market, Sanctuary Tower, Rejuvenation Spring Well, Statue of the Harvest Goddess, Skeleton Conversion Field, Viscera Museum, Level 4 Stable.]
(Note: Core building of the territory)
[Upgrade materials required: Wood: 6200, Stone: 4500, Hardwood: 3200, Brick: 4000, Iron: 500, Metal Parts: 320.]
Upon attaining level 5,
The Book of Lords Wooden House was now referred to as the Book of Lords
Stone Tower.
The entire structure was built from stone bricks, making the structure sturdier
and grander.
Apart from that, there was also an additional ability.
There was a significant boost to production rates and the attributes of troops.
This should symbolize the transition of the territory into the second phase. After upgrading the Book of Lords Hall, Fang Hao continued his upgrades on the other buildings, especially after hearing about the Skullcrusher Tribe from
Bronze Bull.
Fang Hao turned his thoughts around repeatedly, but could not find any information about the Skullcrusher tribe in his mind.
But the Undead territory west of Manim Market was referring to himself, there was no one else.
Thinking about it, he upgraded city walls and arrow towers to level five.
He looked at his resources.
The Undead base’s facilities were all at level four.
To upgrade to level five, the need for hardwood and brick was a given, but what was lacking the most was Shadowstone.
Among those left in his warehouse, there were only 18 pieces of Shadowstone. Shadowstone quantities weren’t enough for building both the level 4 Undead Hall and the level 4 Undead Mage Tower. This was only enough to construct the Burial Grounds.
[Level 5 Burial Grounds: Wood 2400, Stone 3500, Hemp Rope 600, Hardwood 220, Bricks 150, Shadowstones 15.]
The Burial Grounds serve as the barracks for the Undead faction.
Standard Undead infantry can be recruited here.
Upgrade.
[Level 5 Burial Grounds]
[Recruitable units: Skeleton Warrior/Skeleton Spearman (Tier 2.)]
[Recruitment requires: 2x Wriggling Spine.]
[Abilities: Revival (Viscera Jar augmentation), Upgrade.] [Note: This structure can recruit faction soldiers. Upgrading the structure unlocks new types of soldiers and higher tiers.]
[Upgrade requirements: Wood 3200, Stone 4300, Hemp Rope 700, Hardwood 440, Brick350, Shadowstone 20]
[Upgrade]: Upgrades recruited units to a higher tier, up to 100 units. (Each unit takes 5 minutes.)
Yeah!
Fang Hao tightly clenched his fist.
When the Burial Grounds were upgraded to level five, the names and tiers of troops also changed.
The Skeleton Swordsman became the Skeleton Warrior.
The Skeleton Spearman became the Skeleton Spearbearer.
All ranks from Tier 1 rose to Tier 2, which greatly improved the overall Combat Power of the troops.
The upgrade function of the building could promote the recruited Tier 1 skeletons to a higher tier.
With a direction for advancement, Fang Hao began to arrange shifts for the skeleton soldiers to upgrade.
After all, patrols cannot stop within the territory.
just as he finished arranging, Fang Hao was about to continue reading the Book of Lords when he heard Eira calling him and rushing over.
“Master, we’re back.” Eira returned with the newly joined Rabbit women. The returning Rabbitwomen no longer had their initial tense expressions. They had taken a tour around the territory with Eira and learned more about Fang Hao and the territory.
They knew that Fang Hao wouldn’t hurt them easily, and he wouldn’t turn them all into skeletons.
Moreover, he wasn’t as ferocious as other slave owners.
They could be well-fed and housed.
By the end of it, all the Rabbitwomen looked not just relieved but even hopeful. If things were really as Eira said, then they were genuinely fortunate to serve such a good master.
Being well-fed and having a roof over their heads were not luxuries that all slaves could enjoy.
“Hmm, where’s Anjia?” Fang Hao looked back at Eira, but he didn’t see Anjia. “Ah, Miss Anjia is chatting with Mr. Soye, so we came back first,” Eira said. “Alright there are daily necessities here, one set for each of you. Allocate the housing yourselves, three people to a room,” said Fang Hao to the newly joined Rabbitwomen.
“Thank you, Master!” The group of Rabbitwomen hurriedly expressed their thanks.
-Eira, you take a few people to cook, make it a lavish spread tonight, consider it a welcome dinner for everyone,” Fang Hao continued.
“Yes, Master.” Eira agreed, and led the Rabbitwomen to the kitchen.
Fang Hao proceeded to the tailor’s shop to see what Anjia and Soye were discussing.
As he approached the tailor’s shop, he saw Anjia sitting there big and tall, while Soye, the skeleton tailor, was cowering in a corner, looking like a hostage rather than an undead.
As he entered, he heard Soye saying, “Miss Anjia, I can’t play cards and I have no money, please don’t bully me..”
