Tang Yu lay in bed, staring at the ceiling with a vacant gaze.
The Territory had finished upgrading, and what ca next to consider was the choice of construction.
There were quite a few new buildings unlocked by the third-level Territory, such as the Energy Patio, Spell Factory, Altar, Spell Tower, and so forth.
The Energy Patio was a must-build; to fend off the Demonized Beasts with defensive buildings, this thing was indispensable. Otherwise, for every shot the Cannons fired, the stock of Source Crystals would decrease, how irritating would that be?
This kind of early investnt, at any rate, would not result in a loss once built.
"Additionally, a warehouse must be constructed..." he muttered.
This building was unlocked at the second-level Territory.
With a warehouse, Tang Yu no longer needed to have survivors carry materials every ti a building was constructed, which was not only a hassle but also too restrictive.
Now, as long as there were ample raw materials in the warehouse, it was possible to build system constructions at will.
"As for core buildings," Tang Yu thought for a while and decided it would be fine to upgrade the tavern first.
He imdiately set out, with his first destination being the small plaza in front of the city gate.
He had long since decided to place a warehouse here, suffering only from a lack of funds.
Walking here, Tang Yu noticed many new faces within the Territory, seemingly more populous than before he left.
The new faces couldn't recognize Tang Yu, but those familiar survivors imdiately identified him, enthusiastically introducing to the newcors that he was the director of the Sanctuary.
Then he enjoyed the admiring gazes of the new survivors... although those gazes were not ant for them.
"Chen, hurry them to move the materials into the warehouse, the faster the better..."
After busying himself with these matters, Tang Yu arrived in front of the tavern.
With remote control, he could upgrade the tavern even while staying inside the castle.
However, Tang Yu always felt that being on-site felt more engaging.
The level 2 tavern still appeared unremarkable and didn't occupy much space.
But as the castle had expanded, it had already reached nearby, and it was estimated that upon upgrading another level, it would probably have to include the tavern and other core buildings within it.
It seed like there was no problem with that...
"Elevate the tavern to level three first, increase the summoning probability, then save up for so good luck, hoping to summon a decent adventurer this ti."
"Ding! Tavern upgraded to level three."
[The probability of summoning adventurers with high qualifications has increased, and it is now possible to summon adventurers at the peak of the Source Condensation Realm.]
[The number of Follower Contract slots has increased to nine.]
[New feature unlocked: Ability to store daily free summoning opportunities, and to enhance the chance of summoning high-qualified adventurers by fusing summoning opportunities.]
Tang Yu was startled; it seed a new feature had been added.
In the ga, upgrading the tavern to level three didn't co with any new features.
This fusion feature... Tang Yu tried investing Source Crystals, and rather than imdiate summoning, it turned into available summoning opportunities.
"Fusing three summoning opportunities greatly increases the chances of summoning a C-grade qualified adventurer..."
"Fusing twenty summoning opportunities greatly increases the chances of summoning a B-grade qualified adventurer..."
"Fusing... cough cough."
Tang Yu gave it a try, and even after fusing sixty tis, there was no displayed probability of summoning an A-grade qualified adventurer, let alone a great chance.
It seed that A-grade qualifications could not be attained purely through Consuming Crystals; lineage and character were the key.
And in these two aspects, he should, probably, potentially be sufficient.
"A great chance, according to the system, is 99%. Mathematically speaking, this fusion undeniably pays off. Without using a fused summon, a level 2 tavern would likely need around eight or nine summons to call forth a C-grade qualified adventurer. Although a level 3 tavern has improved probabilities, it definitely takes more than three tries."
Tang Yu didn't care for C-grade qualified adventurers, but B-grade was different.
In reality, there was no concept of dismissing contracted followers; for long-term developnt, Tang Yu still hoped to sign contracts with so adventurers who had sufficient potential.
B-grade qualifications t his criteria.
However, Tang Yu was sowhat puzzled as to why there was such a high probability instead of it being one hundred percent, making it clear so everyone would be better off.
Maybe this was like the saying, "The great Dao has fifty, heaven evolves with forty-nine, leaving one to escape," but that didn't seem right either. The chance of summoning an adventurer with low aptitude was sothing he didn't want at all!
Just now, he had invested sixty Source Crystals for summoning attempts to try to fuse probabilities.
A total of thirty thousand.
He couldn't afford to splurge anymore.
These sixty summons could be divided into three sets, fusing twenty tis each, which would yield three more trustworthy individuals.
Tang Yu didn't summon imdiately.
Instead, he returned to the castle, took a bath, burned incense... Thanks to the Patrol Team's multiple pioneering searches for materials, the Sanctuary now had plenty of such sacrificial items that could co in handy.
He walked into the tavern, poised himself, and prepared his chant.
Summon.
The Summoning Array ford from the fusion of twenty summoning attempts looked even more mystical and splendid, as if... to match the grand spending on Consuming Crystals, even the Summoning Array had dressed itself up in a costu.
On the first attempt, a blue light erged.
A towering figure with a slicked-back hairdo appeared within the Summoning Array.
Undoubtedly, the second appearance was also represented by the blue light, indicative of a B-grade aptitude.
A figure in black clothes, with a bamboo hat, appeared in the Array.
The third attempt...
...
After three consecutive summoning attempts, Tang Yu felt completely drained, although the results were as expected—three Bs. However, the feeling of spending a fortune in such a short ti was sothing he had never had the chance to experience before.
After summoning three followers, Tang Yu had Eileen and Luo Zhe take them to clean up and change into proper clothes.
After all, no matter their aptitudes, the adventurers he summoned had quite tragic encounters.
Eileen nearly drowned in the Black Tide.
Luo Zhe beca disabled resisting the Black Tide.
Grey Blade also fell into a very unfortunate situation due to so reason.
The sa went for these three new adventurers.
Soon after, Tang Yu held a simple welco ceremony in the castle, formally welcoming the three new followers as mbers of the Territory.
He looked at the first one.
The towering follower with slicked-back hair.
His na was Shay, and at this mont, he was dressed in a black suit. If he put on sunglasses, he would look exactly like a senior thug from the Black Society. What surprised Tang Yu, however, was that this large and sturdy man, whose build was no less than Luo Zhe's, was not a warrior; he was, in fact, a Musketeer.
Shay was definitely a warrior who had been sidetracked by being a Musketeer.
The second was the youth who had been wearing the bamboo hat... which was now removed. His na was just a single character, Kong.
His occupation was a warrior, but he was very different from Luo Zhe; he wasn't bulky at all and seed small and thin standing next to Shay. However, Kong's gaze was incredibly sharp.
He carried three swords of different lengths and sizes on his back; he was a Swordsman.
Deeply versed in the Sword Dao.
The third follower, though also of B-grade aptitude, finally proved his royal luck.
His occupation was Clergy and one who excelled in healing at that.
Among the five major occupations, Mages and Clergies were quite rare, and most Clergies specialized mainly in combat.
Fortunately, this ti he successfully summoned a healer.
Clergy Winnie.
Seeing her ample bosom, Tang Yu knew that the healing capacity would be substantial.
Absolutely full to the brim.
