Chapter 81: The New Store
Lu Jiu is holding a new product from the forging shop, a small heater, which fits well with both hands and a handle.
The heater itself is made of porcelain with beautiful patterns, which looks like an antique from the Qing Dynasty.
What is put inside is not hot water, but a small section of sustainable burning charcoal.
There is no open flame but it can continue to heat up for more than ten hours.
When you hold it, you have to cover it with cloth, otherwise, it will be hot, and it is not cold enough to hold such a hot stove.
In the past two days, she has been following up on the new products of several stores, and today she remembered that she had to consider upgrading to the third-level city-state.
Upgrading from a second-tier city-state to a third-tier city-state requires 18,200 Glory Crystals, 9,900 Glory Dust, 8,500 Glory Fragments, and 550 Glory Hearts.
So far, apart from the 50 hearts of glory that she had received when she was promoted to the second-level city-state friendship, she didn't see one more, and she didn't know if the others didn't get it. Anyway, she only got a few in Qingye for so long.
Looking at her City Lord's Mansion is just a big villa, nothing else.
It was night, and most people should have already fallen asleep.
After making a decision, Lu Jiu directly took out the city-state's resources and handed them over to upgrade the city-state.
[System prompt: Congratulations to Xuantian City for being officially upgraded to a third-level city-state! 】
Seeing this reminder, the city-state residents who haven't slept yet are stunned.
Is this a third-level city-state? It's a pity that they don't have the authority to see how many resources are needed to upgrade to a third-tier city-state.
After being upgraded to a third-level city-state, the number of weapon slots on the city wall increased from 20 to 100, a full five-fold increase.
The interior of the city-state began to change visible to the naked eye. First, the overall area expanded, and even the fields outside increased.
Taking advantage of the trend, lodging halls and residential areas were added.
The city-state store directly expanded the store area and added floors.
And upgrading to a third-level city-state has the right to add two shops for free.
There are various types of shops, from clothing, food, housing and transportation to various equipment shops needed for clearing the field.
Lu Jiu chose for a while, and chose to open a bar, so that there are entertainment places for adults in the city, and there is no need to compete with children for the amusement park.
There is also a jewellery store, which sells equipment used as auxiliary weapons.
Then she added more money to open a hot spring club, which has everything from entertainment facilities, and it is a shop that only opens in autumn and winter.
The last one needs to be opened with additional money, that is the training room, where you can choose to simulate battles with wild monsters, and the upper limit of wild monsters that can be selected depends on the level of the city-state.
This is the most valuable store she has seen so far.
Lu Jiu didn't hesitate to spend gold coins to upgrade the training room to the largest expandable area so that most residents in the city can go there for training.
If there is this, even ordinary residents can go in and experience killing wild monsters, so that they will have an idea of what to do when encountering wild monsters in special situations in the future.
Many types of wild monsters can be simulated, and professional players can choose the wild monsters they have fought against for training.
In addition to different levels, there are also single-player modes and team modes.
The number of wild monsters can be selected or random, and the types can also be used.
After all, you can't choose what kind of wild monsters you can encounter in the wild.
There is also an update on city-state weapons.
In addition to the original cannons and the like, there is an option in the protective cover, which can be upgraded.
The upgrade requires 10 gold coins. Lu Jiu chooses to upgrade.
[Citadel Shield (Upgrade Version): Protect the city-state against beast swarms, can defend against one million wild monster attacks, regardless of level, newly added adjustable temperature function, disposable item, priced at 20 gold coins. That is to say, it costs 20 gold coins to buy directly and to upgrade is to add 10 gold coins to the original one. There are other weapons. Crystal Cannon: [Protect the city-state from attacking wild monsters, unlimited ammunition and automatic attack without wear and tear, a single 650 fixed attack value, with a freezing effect for 2 seconds, and a price of 2 gold coins. 】
Double Arrow Carriage Crossbow: [Protect the city-state from attacking wild monsters, infinite crossbow arrows automatically attack without wear and tear, shoot two giant arrows at a time, a single attack value is 800, and the price is 2 gold coins each. 】
Rifle: 【Everyone is responsible for protecting the city-state. This is available to all official residents of the city-state. It doesn't matter whether you have a job or not. It has a fixed attack value of 280 for a single attack. The system produces lasers directly without bullets. The price is 10 silver coins. 】
Friendly reminder: guns can only be used against wild monsters, if players use this to attack each other, it is disabled.
The arsenal has been updated, the products produced are better, the rifles have higher damage, and residents can also use them to hunt wild monsters by themselves.
There is hope for life players to kill wild monsters.
Just looking at the newly released cannons and crossbows, Lu Jiu had no choice but to spend money to replenish them.
She didn't dismantle the previous ones and kept them.
In the arrangement of weapons, the moat crossbow and the double-arrow crossbow do not look much different in appearance, but the double arrows have an extra giant arrow, and the crystal cannon is very conspicuous.
The whole seems to be made of crystal, and it is still at night, so you can only see it very conspicuously.
Compared with the dark cannon next to the moat, the appearance is not a little bit worse.
Correspondingly, the number of NPCs patrolling the city has also increased, from the original 32 to 64, directly doubling.
The hot spring club is near the city lord's mansion.
It looks like a hotel on the outside. There are wine counters, restaurants, entertainment rooms, etc. inside.
The entertainment room occupies two floors of the hot spring club. She was delighted to see the installations inside.
It was a computer at all. Lu Jiu turned on one by herself and found that it was connected to the Internet.
She tried to download the software she was familiar with before and only knew that it could be used according to the system prompts, but there were restrictions.
These computers can only be played online by internal players.
There are games in it, and the software that can be contacted can only add players from the game world.
Now the city-state only has three levels, and the authority is to connect with people in the same city.
But this is also very good, much better than the days when there were no games at all.
Lu Jiu predicted that a large number of people would come to the Internet.
Fortunately, it was upgraded to the highest level, but there were only more than 2,000 computers.
In addition, there are billiards, bowling and other entertainment facilities.
The hot springs are divided into men and women, and they are all small hot springs, suitable for two or three people to sit together.
Lu Jiu also set up a special area that other residents cannot enter. This is an exclusive area for NPCs.
Ever since she discovered that NPCs are very intelligent, she has noticed that there must be special areas for NPCs in entertainment facilities, so that they can also relax.
After all, if you build a good relationship, you may be able to get inside information.
In short, there is no harm.
After watching the hot spring club, I went to the bar.
The decoration of the bar is in a modern style, because it is closed now and it is very quiet, only NPCs are sorting things out.
Since the game world was updated, wine has appeared. Now there are various wine products behind the bartender NPC.
This bar is divided into three floors, the first and second floors are for entertainment, and the third floor is private rooms, all of which have floor-to-ceiling windows, so you can see the second floor.
Finally, there is the training room, which is Lu Jiu's favourite place.
The NPC store manager in the training room is a strong man nearly two meters tall. He is standing behind the counter in front of the door with his arms folded, his expression serious and not angry.
