672 Chapter 437: Once Again, All the Soldiers Are Glorious-Level; The First Step in the Deep Development of the Magic Music Box [2/2]
However, with the high 30% processing fee, the purchasing power of 200 million resources was the same as before.
Richard set the purchase conditions. [An Ordinary-Level Troop Lair, Purchase Quantity: 530,000.]
He set the conditions. The moment he chose to confirm, it would empty more than half of the 200 million resources that had not been heated. That would leave only 10 million.
Richard’s eyelids twitched. No one could spend money at such a fast pace.
It was both painful and comfortable.
This was better than spending resources in exchange for a mightier troop.
Richard opened the Black Gold System and operated it without hesitation.
The dozens of troop lairs before him grew taller with the support of sufficient resources. And the aura they emitted became increasingly fierce.
The system notifications rang out after ten minutes.
Richard opened the attribute panel again.
A moment ago, it was still a rare-level troop lair, but at this moment, it had already become a glorious one. A change in recruitment resources accompanied.
1. Poisonous Scorpion Warrior (Recruitment Requirement: 300 units of gems, 300 units of mercury)
2. Guardian Mummy (Recruitment Requirement: 100 units of gems, 100 units of sulfur)
3. Sand Condensation Archer (Recruitment Requirement: 200 units of gems, 200 units of crystals)
4. Sandstorm Controller (Recruitment Requirement: 300 units of gems, 300 units of sulfur)
Richard could no longer use ordinary resources to recruit after he advanced to a glorious-level.
He frowned.
It might appear to be a lot individually if he would consume all the rare resources, but mass recruitment was astronomical.
Moreover, he had to consume so much every week.
He looked at the remaining 2.8 million units of gemstones on his panel attribute. He felt he could no longer have a fully-stuffed wallet.
This was only two million units. How many times could it withstand?
Aside from the crown soldiers, the guardian mummies and the radiant moon soldiers, the king of the mummy imperial troop, were two big spenders.
Richard couldn’t help but sigh at how poor he was.
The recruitment of the undead troop was fixed and did not require any other fees.
As for the soldiers recruited from the human residents, they needed to pay a salary. Once the number reached a scale, they would become a gold-devouring beast.
The weekly salary of the soldiers was astronomical for a city like Solan City, which had a vast human troop.
Richard shook his head. Fortunately, Twilight City was in the desert camp, or else he would have a headache over these trivial matters.
The resources needed for recruitment alone were enough for him to digest.
“We have to use the fastest speed to increase the production of the Black Sorbet!
“Also, we need to produce the magic music box out of Fortress City before the end of the month.
“The newly produced wine developed must yield results within a month. The succeeding products of the food workshop must have substantial progress by mid-January.
“Twilight City needs more resources!”
Richard made up his mind.
He would ask Karu to pass down the order once he has done these things.
Everyone had to contribute.
Richard calmed himself, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
When would he have an endless supply of resources?
Moreover, it was only now. In the future, troop lairs would increase, and their levels would continue to thrive. The resources consumed would increase exponentially.
He could consume the resources he needed for recruitment to upgrade the initially recruited troop to the same level as the troop lair after the system upgraded the troop lair.
Richard did not hesitate. He used the Black Gold System to upgrade all the rare to the glorious-level troops.
The scorpion warriors cost 138,000, the sand condensation archers cost 214,000, and the sandstorm controllers cost 120,000.
That was 472,000 units of rare resources.
Wars have already wiped out the guardian mummies, so they had saved a lot of money.
They could promote the troop lairs and save them the trouble of gathering troops as long as they are in Twilight City.
The aura of the Twilight City troops soared after Richard confirmed the upgrade.
The poisonous scorpion warriors’ bone armor became even sturdier, the sand condensation archers’ longbows grew complicated patterns, and the sandstorm around the sandstorm controllers became even more ferocious…
One could sense the difference after advancement just its appearance.
These were two different levels of existence.
Richard upgraded all the troops, looked at the remaining 2.4 million units of rare resources, and sighed.
Troops he built with resources. A poor person was not worthy of violence.
Richard did all this, waved to the guards behind him, and called for Karu.
Karu quickly hurried over like a spinning top.
Richard didn’t waste any time. He waved his hand to stop the man from bowing and told him his thoughts.
He said in the end.
“All of the expansion of the Black Sorbet, Whitetail Wine, or new products in the food workshop is related to the future of Twilight City. You have to make appropriate arrangements for these matters.”
Karu momentarily paused and gave Karu enough time to digest his words before he continued.
“The Fortress City will produce the magic music boxes. These have infinite potential.
“Later, send someone to urge Brown to build the production line and expand the production capacity.
“We also need to increase our research on the separation between the playback from the storage function of the magic music box. We don’t have much time to waste.”
Butler Karu replied with a solemn expression.
“As you wish, Lord. I will arrange them immediately.”
Karu suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His tone could not help but hesitate.
“Lord, the potential of the Elfin Music Box is great, but we have to address a problem first.”
“Speak.”
“I’ve heard the songs from the Elfin Music Box. They are too ordinary and don’t have much appeal… I suggest buying some elves captured from the ancient forest to make magic music boxes.
“The elves of the ancient forest have a heaven-sent voice. Their voices are as famous as their beauty. Even the singers of the sea, the mermaids, are inferior.
“However, the elves that come out of the ancient forest are few, and the purchase price is costly.”
“What do you think?”
Richard couldn’t help but smile.
‘Buy sprites? This was a good idea.’
However, the magic music box was far more complicated than the music alone.
Richard knew the charm of this thing. The modern information explosion has baptized him as a member of the cohorts.
In the early 21st century, tape drives and MP3s trended and stirred a vast market.
He could create an entertainment industry if he took another step.
The market could be limitless.
An unexpected opportunity opened for outsiders when Twilight City promoted the first batch of magic music boxes. It was easy to sell the Magic Music Box to a well-known star.
Couldn’t the magic music box harvest leeks with the halo in a celebrity?
Moreover, this thing could also form a competitive barrier. Even if others developed the same product, they would not be afraid of being squeezed out of the market… Who recorded my magic music box? What’s the use of your counterfeit?
In the future, he would turn the magic music box into a player that could only be played by something produced in Twilight City.
This way, they could harvest continuously.
“I will arrange this matter. First, let Brown study and understand the separation technology of the magic music box.”
Fortress City naturally had to bear this heavy responsibility as the research center in Twilight City.
