[The Training Hall (Lv2) is now eligible for upgrade!]
[Would you like to upgrade for 20000 Wood, 10000 Stone, and 30000 Gold? Yes| No?]
This was not a small amount, and it was much bigger than the previous upgrade—multiplied by several folds. At the back of her mind, she wondered who would get all that gold.
So far there was no indication the building was a city’s ’franchise’ that went through the Sanctum of Constructs, so they had no idea which territory started it. Rather, it seemed to have been there since as far as anyone could remember.
Well, that wasn’t her concern now, and she just looked at the cost, feeling a bit pained.
Sure, she had the money, but she was distinctly aware of how much that actually was. For context, the average wealth of villages ranged from 100 gold for poor Level 1 Villages.
Villages with a few thousand gold were already fairly well-off and were considered to have the potential to become towns after a couple of years or decades.
On the other hand, the average wealth of a Level 1 Town (according to the Ferrol Journal) was a few tens of thousands. This meant that upgrading the Training Hall to this level could easily suck up an entire territory’s funds!
Fortunately, that was not her problem and just upgraded it. She was kind enough to remember to send an alert this time so no one would get too shocked when they get kicked out of the building while it upgraded.
She waited for about ten minutes and just sat at a bench (smiling at the people who greeted her by the way) and only then did she say ’Yes’.
[The Upgrade of Training Hall (Lv2) to Training Hall (Lv3) has now commenced.]
She then headed towards where the Training Hall was and, unsurprisingly, encountered quite a crowd watching the magic.
"Amazing…" one said. "As expected of a territory upgrade! We get to see these things again!"
"I heard the farmlands are getting upgrades too!" he said. "My team’s already gathering the funds for it!"
"Oh yeah, I heard about that!" another responded. "How exciting! Wouldn’t that mean the prices of goods will decrease soon?"
"Probably not too much, especially in the first few years—the cost of upgrade isn’t exactly cheap."
"We’re investing in vertical farm equipment," another voice butted in. "Imagine how much our productivity will spike!"
"Wow, you’ll be even richer! Send me a great gift for my birthday, yeah?"
"What do you want?"
"A bike."
"Eh…"
On her other side, she heard similar conversations.
"AH, I’ll never get tired of this!" she heard someone say, sighing dreamily. It was nearby so she turned to see who it was. It was an aborigine and next to him was a Terran.
"It’s not like we don’t get new buildings every couple of months," the Terran said, acting cool though his eyes were dilated as he stared at the building slowly being built up.
"Besides, we just upgraded, it was a given we’d get new stuff and upgrades!"
