"I see," Geth remarked. "So, I have to use rit points earned by the people of the city to purchase the blueprints for other structures from the Tower. That correct?"
Larz nodded, "Yes. However, you shouldn't be discouraged."
The elf showed Geth another nu and allowed him to scroll through it. He looked over it with interest.
There were hundreds of Level 0 blueprints available for purchase!

The list went on and on. Geth could see that the three buildings which cost 50 rit Points were highlighted in red.
"Am I to assu that these three at the beginning are necessary before doing anything else?"
"That is correct."
Geth backed out of the nu and pulled up the reward screens for finishing the Local Formation.
***
Congratulations User, on being the second to firmly establish a foothold in these new lands. As your reward, you may choose from the following:
Option 1: 400 rit Points, 4 Random Blueprints (Common)
Option 2: 1 Random Blueprint (Rare)
***
"Larz, what's the difference between rarities in Blueprints?"
Larz pulled up what looked like a help screen in front of the group but still read the information aloud.
"Common Blueprints are under 200 rit Points, Uncommon stop at 500, Rare can go up to 1500. Epic and above will not show up until the Tower itself has been upgraded," Larz replied.
"And how difficult is it to get rit Points?"
"I suppose it depends on what you call difficult. Each log or sufficiently sized stone is worth a single rit Point.
Beyond that, missions can be taken to gain rit Points. The tasks range from killing monsters to collecting resources."
"Are any missions currently available?"
The screen changed once again.
***
-Mission Rank (Common) 25 rit Points
Bring 100 logs to the Eastern Gate.
-Mission Rank (Common) 25 rit Points
Bring 50 blocks of stone to the Western Gate
-Mission Rank (Uncommon) 100 rit Points
Clear goblins from the Quarry
***
"Quarry?"
"As of the mont this Tower was completed, a quarry was created twenty miles off the western wall. It should have added itself to every citizens' Grimoire."
Geth checked his Grimoire. Sure enough, a small mark showed him where the quarry was located.
Larz spoke again, "I suggest taking at least ten Strength-based citizens. Not that the Goblins will be a problem, but cutting the stone and bringing it back will be difficult until you've built so carts."
Geth nodded and looked at his options again.
"Well, since we will get Points just from clearing the quarry anyway, I'll take option 2."
A single flash of light and a rolled-up scroll lay on the ground before him. He picked up the scroll and opened it.

Adventurer's Guild (Rare)
-Creates a Guild Building where citizens can register for quests that are specifically for hunting monsters, defending the city, or handling the city's defenses for a set ti.
Cost:
2500 Lumber
1500 Stone
10,000 Core Power
***
"Hmm, so I suppose that this is another way to gain rit Points. What is Core Power?" Geth asked.
"If you have a Monster Core from a Level 1 creature, it contains 1 Core power. Sub-Boss cores are ten tis their Level and Boss Cores one hundred tis their Level."
*Sigh*
"It seems like we have an entirely different system that we have to learn now. Has everyone been listening?"
Geth turned and looked at the others.
"Yes."
"Got it."
"Understood."
"I an, it's definitely more complex, but it is similar to what the old mobile gas would be if you had to leave and collect the resources yourself," Sindri added.
Everyone nodded in agreent.
"Is there anything else we need to know, Larz? I would like to rest this evening and then start first thing in the morning. At least we won't have to leave for weeks at a ti."
Larz waved them away, "We can handle the rest as you co across it.
The other important information won't be necessary until you've built everything you need to Level 1. Just make sure you recruit plenty of crafting Classes."
"Easier said than done, but I'll keep it in mind. Thank you, Larz."
Geth and his companions left and headed to their hos or to see their loved ones.
He took the kids around and explained each of the Barracks' locations to them. He even told them about each of the Boss Monsters that had to be dealt with for each of them.
"Dad, what Level are you now?" Stark asked.
"I recently hit Level 55."
His son got excited, "Did you get to pick another Talent for your new Class?"
"Once you get over Level 50, you no longer receive Talents every five Levels."
"Really, Dad?" Parker asked.
"Yes, really. So you better choose yours carefully while you're Leveling. Looks like you only get ten freebies."
They continued to walk until reaching the Barracks that ca with the Direwolf Dungeon. It was called the Wolf's Den.
"I kind of like this place," Geth muttered.
Elsa's eyes lit up, "Dad! I want to go pet the wolves!"
The Direwolves who had followed him in seed to have naturally migrated to this area. He hesitated until the white she-wolf saw the group and walked over.
Her tell wagged as she bent her head down to nudge it against the little girl's hand. Geth was especially surprised when she reached out her paw.
"Go on, take it. She'll be able to talk to you."
"Really?!"
Elsa didn't hesitate to grab the wolf's paw. Geth could see the Mana passing between the two as they communicated.
After so ti of his daughter giggling, the she-wolf knelt. The little girl jumped up effortlessly and straddled the wolf's shoulders.
Geth could see that the boys were jealous, so he summoned Kane to give them a ride.. He spent the rest of the afternoon watching them run around and ride on the backs of the different wolves.
