After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 945

By Comfort Zone, it meant surviving in this world without losing a bulk of their people!

Of course, they still trained as a habit now, but it didn’t mean they wanted trouble.

Ansel and the others cringed at the thought of the changes that’d be brought about if they climbed up as they were now.

They had long stopped dreading battles after getting to this stage. At the very least, Alterra was strong enough for them not to worry if they weren’t in the mood to fight and clear mobs.

They didn’t want to go back to the time where they couldn’t sleep, fearing they’d get attacked by mobs in the middle of the night!

"Can we even control Prestige?" Gru asked as he looked at Althea, who unfortunately shook her head.

"We can’t, so we can only control the residencies." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}

Ansel spoke this time. "Actually my sister and I already set the costs for Towns. Should we just apply it earlier?"

"Hm, makes sense."

"Applying the initial plans, we will set the entry fee to 20 copper—which is still cheap considering most Towns charge at least 1 silver for entry."

Seeing how it was now, they would probably increase again after actually upgrading to Town, but definitely not too much. 1 silver a day was really insane, to be honest. It was no wonder the poor remained poor over there, even if they went out to hunt every day.

"Then we will charge 50 silver/mo and 2000 Contribution Points to those who want to avail Temporary Residency, and 20 gold plus 10,000 contribution points to those who hope to have permanent residency."

The average salary had been raised to 10 silver per day, which was about 3 gold per month. This was the average salary even in aborigine territories. Of course, in Alterra, this money meant quite a whole lot more because it had a lot more purchasing power.

Basically, even when they increased some of the costs and taxes, people living frugally could still keep at least half of their daily salaries.

This was already much, much, better than those outside who could barely scrape by with their entire salaries.

Anyway, by increasing the costs and contribution point requirement, the upgrade to become a resident—even if it was only temporary—had become a lot more stringent. This applied much more to the Permanent Residency.

To those who were near the requirement but hadn’t upgraded within the day… they could only count themselves unlucky.

"With this, we can slow down the progress by a few months," Mathilda said. "Probably."

At this, she looked at the others. "Perhaps we should also change the value of contribution points."

Ansel and Althea nodded at this. "Actually, we had indeed considered this."

During the concept’s inception, the value of the contribution point was a lot easier to determine. The contribution points received by those with ’government’ jobs were slightly arbitrary, but they were proportional to the position.

At the time, the points calculation was even more straightforward with regard to fighting monsters. Basically, it was almost the same as the copper received per kill.
