"It requires five-star alloy!" Zhou Yan was very surprised. This defense tower, worthy of its R-grade quality, indeed required rare materials.
The High-Energy Gatling Turret, after being upgraded to level 20, had its barrels increased to four. The entire structure became larger and stronger, and its radiance intensified.
He felt that this single defense tower alone could replace several SSS-grade defense towers.
He was eager to witness the power of this defense tower. Tomorrow, on the battlefield, he would see the immense power this building could unleash.
He was filled with anticipation.
He placed the Blade Tower at the rear of the territory for defense. The High-Energy Gatling Turret and the Frost Tower at the front should be more than sufficient to handle any threats.
He returned to the Spiritual Energy Bamboo House, and the others also returned successively.
"The monsters are getting more numerous now; quite a few have broken through the defense tower's coverage."
They all recounted their day's experiences. The monsters today had advanced another tier compared to yesterday.
"Although there are more monsters, the rewards today will definitely be much greater than yesterday," Zhou Yan said.
"Lord, the pressure on our rear is quite significant," Si Teng complained immediately.
They were all exhausted from fighting monsters all day, their bodies aching. They looked at their lord pitifully.
"Don't worry, I've allocated an additional defense tower to your area. I just killed today's boss, and it dropped an R-grade defense tower."
Zhou Yan announced.
"Wow! An R-grade defense tower! Lord, your luck is truly incredible," Hua Yuerong exclaimed with admiration.
"Thank you, Lord," Si Teng smiled brightly. With this, their pressure tomorrow would be significantly reduced.
They chatted for a long time before hearing the prompt for the trial's conclusion.
[Newcomer Trial Day 20 Battle Ends!]
[Commencing Reward Settlement!]
[Eliminated 900 million Level 14 Red-tailed Beasts, 100,000 Level 15 Purple Cloud Leopards, 3,500 Level 15 Demonic Spiders, and 1 Level 15 Mutated Bronze Demonic Spider.]
[Battle Evaluation: SS]
[Rewards: Basic Reward: 1,000,000 Soul Coins, 1,000,000 Spirit Coins, One Gold Treasure Chest. Additional Reward for Evaluation: 1,500,000 Soul Coins, 1,500,000 Spirit Coins, Basic Building: "Canteen."]
Zhou Yan was stunned upon hearing this.
Before even opening the treasure chest, he had already received 2,500,000 Soul Coins and Spirit Coins today, an increase of nearly 1,000,000 in both currencies compared to yesterday.
The rewards were indeed very generous.
However, considering the nearly 200,000 monsters they had faced today, it was no ordinary feat.
Fortunately, his territory's defense towers were sufficiently powerful; otherwise, they would truly have been unable to withstand the onslaught.
With only ten days left, he believed the monsters ahead would only become more numerous and stronger, and the rewards would correspondingly increase.
After waiting for so long, a building reward finally appeared, and it was the "Canteen" building he had wanted for a long time.
Territory Notification: "Constructing the [Canteen], the [Canteen] evolves into the [Five-Star Hotel]."
"Holy cow, even this can appear!"
Zhou Yan was speechless. A five-star hotel had appeared. However, the feeling was truly quite good.
Looking at a modern hotel in the distance, he was filled with curiosity. However, this hotel was only one story high, hardly befitting the title of a "Five-Star Hotel." He decided to upgrade the Five-Star Hotel first.
He led the women towards the hotel. The design was good, but being only one story made it look somewhat out of place.
The Spirit Coins required to upgrade this hotel started at 10,000, which felt like a significant amount.
Territory Notification: "Consumed 10,000 Spirit Coins, [Five-Star Hotel] Level upgraded to 2."
Territory Notification: "Consumed 20,000 Spirit Coins, [Five-Star Hotel] Level upgraded to 3."
Territory Notification: "Consumed 30,000 Spirit Coins, [Five-Star Hotel] Level upgraded to 4."
...
After upgrading to level 20, he discovered that this building could continue to be upgraded without requiring other materials. He continued to upgrade it out of curiosity until it reached level 24 before the notification indicated that further upgrades were not possible.
[Building: Five-Star Hotel]
[Level: 24]
[Upgrade Required: 2,000,000 Spirit Coins, Territory Level 25]
[Quality: SSS (0/3)]
[Upgrade Requirement: Three Five-Star Hotels]
[Defense: 42000/42000]
[Special Attribute 1: Stamina Recovery Speed +24%]
[Special Attribute 2: Spiritual Energy Recovery Speed +24%]
[Special Attribute 3: Cultivation Speed +14%]
[Description: A modern building, fully equipped, beautifully constructed, with array blessings, possessing supreme utility.]
The Five-Star Hotel, after being upgraded to level 24, had a total of twenty-four floors and could accommodate a large number of people.
Crucially, this hotel possessed all the functions of a modern hotel, including a restaurant, swimming pool, rooms, gym, and more, all fully equipped. It was no wonder it required so many Spirit Coins; it was definitely a worthwhile investment.
He and the women admired it greatly. Unfortunately, it still couldn't compare to the Spiritual Energy Bamboo House. However, its advantage lay in its ability to house many people, something the Spiritual Energy Bamboo House could not match.
"What a peculiar place!"
The women looked at the hotel with great curiosity, intrigued by its style and modern amenities.
Fortunately, they had watched many modern movies and knew how to use these facilities.
"If you like it, choose a room and stay," Zhou Yan said.
Although this hotel was excellent, it occupied a considerable amount of space. If another building were to appear, apart from defense towers, no other type of structure could be built.
He had previously felt his territory was quite spacious, but with the increasing number of buildings and their upgrades, the occupied area had also expanded, leaving no extra space for new constructions.
After their admiration, they returned to the Spiritual Energy Bamboo House. He then instructed Steward Li Shuang to temporarily take charge of the hotel, responsible for arranging for the territory's residents to move in.
"Chan'er, open the treasure chests. Let's see how many Soul Coins we can collect today."
The treasure chests outside should have been collected by now. Zhou Yan wanted to know his Soul Coin income for the day.
As for Spirit Coins, he was no longer concerned about them.
"Mhm."
Diao Chan opened the Treasure Room and initiated a one-click opening of all treasure chests within the territory.
Territory Notification: "Obtained 852,169 Soul Coins, 265,871 Spirit Coins..."
A pile of items appeared in the Treasure Room and were automatically sorted and organized by the Treasure Room.
His primary concern was the quantity of Soul Coins, which amounted to over 850,000.
He had earned over three million Soul Coins in a single day, making it undoubtedly the day he earned the most Soul Coins.
He had leveled up all the territory's residents to level 20 and still had some remaining. He planned to summon more soldiers.
Besides Soul Coins, he had also acquired dozens of Silver equipment, thousands of Bronze equipment, and thousands of Black Iron equipment. The rest were one-star and two-star materials.
However, it was worth noting that he had also obtained over a dozen skill books, two of which were particularly noteworthy.
One was "B-Wind Curse," and the other was "C-Fire Rain."
His standards were now quite high. Unless a skill was of A-grade quality or higher, he wasn't particularly inclined to learn it, unless it was a unique skill like light footwork.
