The choice to upgrade the town made Lin Rui’s eyes light up. There were quite a few valuable buildings in the territory, and with just a random thought, Lin Rui could think of a series, including the consistently surprising Ogre Kingdom Camp, the Steel Hand Skill Dominator Armory, the Life Ancient Tree with its stable output, the Black Banner Army Camp, and even Heilv Castle!
If Heilv Castle were upgraded, Lin Rui couldn’t even imagine whether it would be able to recruit Tier Five troops or a large number of Lord-level, or even Epic-level, units.
Even if every cycle produces a Tier Five Epic vampire lady, that would already be defying the heavens.
Just look at Su Xi; she only needs one swing to cut down a person and charges fiercely in the army formations, truly able to create mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Besides such military buildings, there was also an internal affairs building that Lin Rui extremely wanted to upgrade, which was the Primary Trading Market.
Currently, the trading market’s coverage is limited to one area, but there are eighty areas where Explorers are present.
Lin Rui was pondering if upgrading the trading market to intermediate level would expand its coverage to the entire world, entire civilization, or even beyond, if it could trade with different planes.
What is the issue facing the Golden Pansy Domain now?
It lies in the territory’s strength, which has already far surpassed that of other Explorers in the same area. Now, it’s Lin Rui supporting others. The territory’s equipment, specialties, and food can enhance the strength of other Explorers.
But the materials produced by other Explorers aren’t very beneficial to the Golden Pansy Domain.
Despite possessing unparalleled wealth, the Golden Pansy Domain can’t extract enough essence from other Explorers to enhance its own strength.
If the trading market could cover all Explorers, the elite among them would certainly sell more advanced and valuable items, turning the Golden Pansy Domain’s wealth into strength.
Both the internal affairs and military buildings were immensely valuable, and Lin Rui found it really difficult to choose.
After pondering for a long time, Lin Rui finally made a decision.
He walked out of the Government Hall, and splendid golden light descended from the sky, a sacred brilliance, this iconic light, with a familiar aura, the entire territory had already grown accustomed to it.
Under the impact of the brilliant golden light, the branches and leaves of the Life Ancient Tree swayed, and the falling blossoms filled the sky.
Lin Rui walked toward the golden light, and beneath it, the territory’s monastery was rapidly expanding, towering instantly.
The once quiet and leisurely little prayer house had instantly become awe-inspiring in its enormity, the giant structure occupying the entire hillside. A single monastery’s area even surpassed the total area of most buildings within the territory.
And atop the giant structure, an ivory-colored enormous goddess statue emerged with a hazy beauty.
This statue was so massive that it even broke through the clouds, comparable to Titan Sky Mountain, and within a few hundred miles radius, if one could see Bloodbath Mountain, one could basically see the giant divine statue on top of the monumental architecture.
[Ding, congratulations to the Explorer, the Fortune Goddess Monastery has advanced to the Saint Hall of the Goddess of Fortune, the Luck Level of the populace +1, all probability mechanisms +10%. (Only for Golden Pansy Domain) You can pray to the Goddess of Fortune once a day, temporarily boosting Luck Value by 10%, lasting for 6 hours. Sincere worship in the Saint Hall can permanently increase the Luck Value by 2 points.]
It was indeed worthy of being the reward for the second advancement!
Lin Rui walked along the tall and grand architectural steps to the entrance of the Saint Hall, the towering hall doors were a good ten meters high, making Lin Rui appear extremely insignificant in front of the massive doors, highlighting the extraordinary majesty and grandeur of the Goddess Hall.
As he pushed open the grand doors, the system’s voice immediately rang out.
[Ding, the Explorer visited a Holy Temple Hall, permanently +2 to Luck Value]
A wide, vibrant red carpet extended from the hall doors all the way into the great hall interior, flanked by Knights clad in heavy silver armor, wielding long halberds. Lin Rui thought they were merely decorative, but as he was about to approach, all the Knights knelt on one knee in unison.
A majestic and passionate voice immediately sounded: "Greetings, Champion Crown."
Lin Rui was taken aback, glanced at their attributes, and to his surprise, they were all Tier Five Heroic Spirit-level Guardian Knights!
Amid the silence, gentle footsteps echoed from the inner hall, as a beautiful woman dressed in a white nun’s habit walked along the vibrant carpet down the aisle of knights kneeling on one knee. Follow current novels on novelFirｅ.net
She didn’t stop until she was less than ten centimeters in front of Lin Rui, standing lazily.
Her temperament was completely different from the other nuns’ solemn restraint, and her stance was incredibly relaxed, revealing her fair, radiant long legs directly outside the high-slit white nun’s skirt. Accompanied by her cherry-red long hair, she epitomized the ultimate allure of a languid beauty.
However, standing before Lin Rui, she didn’t speak because she was biting a hairpin, tying up her long hair with her hands behind her neck, then coiling it on the side, allowing a ponytail to drape in front of her right shoulder from the coiled hair.
This cool side-bun hairstyle exposed her fair neck and collarbones, combining feminine long-hair elegance, instantly amplifying her sacred yet alluring style to the maximum.
Not until she finished coiling her hair, hands securing the hairstyle behind her neck, did she widen her eyes to look up at Lin Rui.
Seeing no response from Lin Rui, her cherry-red pupils shifted downward twice, then she glared at Lin Rui, puffing up her cheeks.
Lin Rui finally reacted, reaching out to remove the white jade hairpin from her mouth and handed it to her hand beside the bun.
Effortlessly, she inserted the hairpin into the bun, securing the coiffure, before complaining, "You’re so slow to react! Haven’t you ever tied a hair tie or inserted a hairpin for a lover before?"
