Chapter 171: Upgrading the Territory

What was revealed in front of them was a family villa. Although it was not that big, but, just from the appearance, it really contrasted away the other buildings that were in the surrounding areas.

Just like the territory building, this villa was majestic, and it looked much more luxurious like those villas that could only be found in those areas where the rich lived. Of course, in this part of the city, this was where those that were considered of as middle class lived. So, the majesty of this place was not that high.

The Villa that had appeared In front of their eyes was painted blue in color. The intricate design of the villa was eye catching, and the long floor to ceiling windows with curtains immediately increased to the grandeur of the villa.

The villa was a three-storey building. Even though it could not be compared to the main territory building, but still, it was way better than the buildings that were currently inside Crystal City after the storm.

[Family villa: Upgraded; Since the villa is found inside a territory, it is organized in such a way that it is able to accommodate as many people as possible. On each floor, there is a setting of an apartment, where, each floor is individually separate from the other floor.

The building itself is self-contained, possessing all the necessities that are required. Water facility and lighting are provided using the energy that is provided from the mutation crystals.]

After the information panel appeared in front of him, although it did not describe the building in front of him that much like it did for the Jeep and the other vehicles that he had upgraded, but still, Henry understood the information about the Villa.

Of course, the commotion that had occurred here had already attracted the attention of almost everyone present in the territory. It was just that, they restrained themselves from rushing over to come and see what was going on.

As for the children, they were being held back by the adults that were present inside the territory.

Those that were experiencing Henry utilizing this ability for the first time were stunned. After all, it was not long ago that there was a dilapidated building. And after the red sphere disappeared, it was replaced by a grand villa.

Although they could not understand the concept of what had happened, but, since this was the apocalypse, they had already seen a lot of strange things happening, like the sky that was currently red.

Henry did not stop at that. Instead, he went ahead and continuously upgraded several more buildings. Currently, the population inside the territory was at 400. So, he had to make sure that all the people were accommodated, within these buildings, rather than inside the main territory building.

It was a good thing that there were not that many families present inside the territory. For that reason, most of the people were going to share rooms, that was especially so for the children.

A single villa could accommodate up to about 30 people, with 10 people per floor. Of course, that was on the premise that they were going to share bedrooms.

It was a good thing that the living room present inside the villas was not that big, and each floor possessed four bedrooms. This immediately made things easy for Henry.

Inside the territory barrier, there were a total of 43 buildings. All of them were upgraded by Henry. In order to do that, other than the 20 level 2 Bronze rank mutation crystals that he had converted into level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals, Henry went ahead and converted a single level 3 bronze rank mutation crystal into 10,000 level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals.

In order to upgrade the 43 buildings, Henry had to spend 4300 level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals.

While Henry was busy upgrading the buildings, he did not realize that the barrier that was surrounding the territory was also improving. It was just that, the improvement of the barrier was invisible.

Currently, yet another function had been introduced into the barrier. It was just that, unless Henry checked the information, he was not going to know about it.

[Current mutation crystal balance is: 8,149. 8,094 level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals, 19 level 2 Bronze rank mcs, 20 level 3 Bronze rank mcs, 14 level 4 bronze rank mcs, 2 level 7 bronze rank mcs.]

Henry looked at the information about his current balance. Other than the crystals that he had gotten from killing the monsters during the previous night, there were those that they had gotten from killing the monsters inside the dungeon.

Of course, currently, Henry only cared about bronze rank mutation crystals. As for those that were below the Bronze rank, they were just too many for him to care about their levels and so on.

Henry had just finished upgrading all the buildings inside the territory when he frowned. According to the system, there was supposed to be an upgrade as long as he managed to upgrade several buildings inside the territory.

But now, he had already completed the upgrade, but there was no level up of the territory to the second level. He could not help but wonder what was going on. Was he supposed to upgrade even the buildings that were outside the territory

But that was impossible. After all, outside the territory, there was no protection at all. Who was going to watch over the buildings during that time?

Just as Henry was wondering what was going on, a system prompt appeared in front of him.

[The main territory building has experienced some damage. Unless the damage is repaired, the territory cannot be upgraded to the second level.]

After hearing that, Henry could not help but squint his eyes a little. After all, he could not remember what kind of damage was capable of preventing the territory from being upgraded to the second level.

It was just after a moment of thought that he finally remembered what had happened the previous day. During the time that the necromancer was attacking, he had attacked using his sword, destroying the floor of the territory building.

Henry could not help but be a little speechless. After all, according to him, the level of the damage that was caused to the main territory building was so small. Why was it that it was actually going to be capable of preventing the territory from being upgraded to the second level?

Additionally, just to repair that small damage, the amount of mutation crystals that was required was kind of absurd. Just to repair the damage that he had caused, it was required that he paid 10 level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals.

At that time, although he actually possessed 10 level 4 Bronze rank mutation crystals, he was of course unwilling to spend on such a thing. Anyway, it was not as if that small damage was going to affect the territory building.

So, even after the fight against the monsters ended, Henry did not pay much attention to the damage. He could always repair that part later on after level 1 bronze rank mutation crystals became useless.

It was only now that he understood that he had to pay for it. But anyway, it was not as if he cared anymore. Currently, he possessed thousands of level 1 bronze rank mutation crystals. So, taking out 10 of them was not much.

Henry went ahead and opened the territory panel. Immediately after that, the information about the territory was displayed. Henry looked around, trying to see if there was an option of repairing, but he did not see any.

"It seems that I will have to go back inside the territory first." Henry muttered. Immediately after that, he told Adam to organize together with Olivia on how they were going to assign the buildings to the group of people that was inside the territory.

As for himself, he had to take care of upgrading the level of the territory first. So, he went back to the territory building. After arriving at the area where he had destroyed previously with his attack, after looking at it, the option of repairing finally appeared.

[The territory building has been damaged. To repair itself, 10 level 1 Bronze rank mutation crystals are required.]

After the information appeared, Henry did not hesitate to agree. He did not need to do anything, but, just the mental consent was enough. And immediately after that, although he did not understand how, 10 level 1 bronze rank mutation crystals were deducted.

After the deduction, a blue light immediately enveloped that area that had been destroyed. And not long after, it disappeared, and the area that had been destroyed immediately went back to its previous condition.

The moment that the territory was repaired, another panel appeared in front of Henry. This time, it was not from the soul system, but, the same that appeared in front of everyone after the apocalypse descended.

[The territory can be upgraded to the second level. With the upgrade of the territory to the second level, several other features of the territory would be unlocked.

Additionally, the size of the territory would be increased by a certain level. And the current features of the territory would also be improved proportionally.

To upgrade the territory to the second level, one level 5 bronze rank mutation crystal is required.]

After the information appeared in front of him, Henry understood what was required. But, he could not understand one thing, why was it that everything that was done required him to pay? Moreover, the price was not low at all. A single level 5 Bronze rank mutation crystal!

Previously, he had been expecting that he would be able to upgrade the territory to the second level just after upgrading the level of the buildings outside. He never expected that he had to pay even after all that.

Shaking his head, quite curious about the upgrades that could be made to the territory, Henry agreed immediately to pay the price. Although currently he did not possess a single level 5 bronze rank mutation Crystal, he still decided to use one of the level 7 Bronze rank mutation crystals to convert it into 100 level 6 Bronze rank mutation crystals.

After that, one level 6 bronze rank mutation crystal was immediately converted into 100 level 5 bronze rank mutation crystals.

With that, a single level 5 mutation crystal was deducted, and finally, the entire territory was enveloped in a blue light.

[The upgrade to the second level has begun. Time required, 2 minutes.]
