Chapter 247 247: Part 1: Territory

[The Ritual You Have Performed Has Raised Your Farm From Bronze Rank I to II! +10 Territory Points]

It has barely been five minute since Cole did the ritual and the farm was already leveling up? From what could understand, territory points, somewhat similar to Glade points are necessary for upgrading certain facilities within a territory and even the territory itself. Though upgrade of the territory would always need some raw materials, which would be necessary for the upgrade of other facilities too.

Of course architecture would not change unless you've either used a blueprint or someone has built everything up from scratch. He was looking forward to seeing what the Phoenixborn twins had in store for him. At the moment they were busy trying to figure out what direction to take the Manor, they would want to build it a lot more solidly, particularly with stone and a couple of special ore like building materials. Many of which are inclusive in what's needed to make the cybernetics they have.

The rejuvenation of the land was increasing it's level, of course eventually it would slow down, as the costs of upgrades grow. Heck the farm won't get to the next grade this way, as to get from bronze to iron, special upgrade materials were needed. Territories were resource intensive pieces of work, but Cole was not worried, he at least had what was necessary to keep his territory self sufficient for as long as possible, however….. you can never have too much land.

Also unless the facility or any new addition to the territory is a higher rank than the territory itself when it is first added, no facility or node can be a higher rank than the territory it's a part of. For instance the farm can not get to silver rank even if all the requirements are met, unless the territory itself is already a silver grade territory. And every 5 level of upgrade for a territory gives it bonuses, like skills, buildings, more land, or blueprints. As it stands Cole had enough resource in hand to probably level his territory to silver, but that would leave shaky foundations. Instead he'd try and level it to Bronze V and see what the territory will offer.

[Upgrade Territory To Bronze II?/ Requirements: <100 Wood> <100 Stone> <10 Energy Cores> <10 Bronze Prisms>]

[Upgrade Territory To Bronze III?/ Requirements: <200 Wood> <200 Stone> <20 Energy Cores> <20 Bronze Prisms>]

[Upgrade Territory To Bronze IV?/ Requirements: <300 Wood> <300 Stone> <30 Energy Cores> <30 Bronze Prisms>]

[Upgrade Territory To Bronze V?/ Requirements: <400 Wood> <400 Stone> <40 Energy Cores> <40 Bronze Prisms>]

If the look on Cole's face could get any uglier then it most probably would. He watched with annoyance as in the horizon, right on the boundary that separated his territory from others, a wooden wall about two meters tall rose up. Cole was not exactly happy about it, because he honestly did not think this offered much in terms of production, but it was what the system gave him, and that was all he's going to get. He growled as he received another notification.

The moment that farm got to silver rank I, it too would have either a skill, a buff or something that overall would just improve it's quality or the quality of whatever is grown there. Cole nodded his head to no one in particular but himself, at least things were going a bit the way he wants them to in that regard. Due to the ritual he would not have to expend territory points to level up the farm, and he could also do the same thing for some of the other facilities, which means he gets to save his territory points for those things that can't benefit from the rituals.

Cole looked at the stat page with a scowl on his face, dealing with a territory was a lot different than an aspirant's stat page. There were just too many things to think about, and just like an Aspirant though, you could use prisms to exchange for territory points, and right now Cole was sitting on a lot of bronze, iron and silver Prism, all gained from his battles with the Baneling Hordes Of the 4th floor. Farida, Irma and Cassandra were each holding a significant portion that they would be returning soon, especially Irma as she's the one who was closest to him right now.

He was lucky enough that he could speed through the early stages of development for his territory. At the moment what he was aiming for was a way to get everything within to silver as quickly as possible and to also have more facilities that would go into make this place the pillar of humanity's future as he's hoping it would be…..hah! Humanity's future…. That was funny. Cole could care less, sometimes he thought really weird things to himself it has always and will only ever be about himself and what he can build, there was no space for anything else.

Either way now that Cole was able to perform the [Rejuvenation Ritual] he should spread it to the rest of the facilities that need it. Some of his best games to play were idle games anyways, the passive upgrades due to the influx of life and energy was an advantage for him, he intends to abuse the hell out of it.
