[Congratulations Host, the territory was promoted, unlocking 2 buildings, reward: 10,000 copper coins.]
With the system notification, Zhou Bai's Lord panel refreshed accordingly.
The first thing she looked at was the conditions for the next upgrade.
[Condition 1, population reaches 1,000 humans (not met)]
[Condition 2, territory buildings reach 8 (not met)]
[Condition 3, Lord reaches lv.10 (not met)]
The first and third were easy to say, but the second made Zhou Bai frown slightly.
The territory needed to have 8 types of buildings; with the existing ones plus the rewards for unlocking, it was only 6, so she needed to find two more types. Wood and stone materials were easy to say, but as for architectural drawings, there's no trace! She didn't know how to obtain them? However, since there were requirements, there must be a way.
She set it aside for now, and Zhou Bai continued to unlock the buildings first.
She looked at the newly added buildings in the introduction; the types conflicted with the previous ones, so Zhou Bai chose the buildings she originally planned to unlock next.
[Basic Tailor Shop],[Level 1 House].
After confirming these two, the experienced Zhou Bai went to the System Store to buy the missing materials, preparing everything before starting to unlock.
[Would you like to spend 10 Gold Coins, 1,000 units of wood, 1,000 units of stone, 100 units of linen to unlock the Basic Tailor Shop?]
[Would you like to spend 5 Gold Coins, 1,000 units of wood to unlock the Level 1 House?]
"Yes."
[Basic Tailor Shop has been established, currently without tailor, entering self-service mode, system choosing the products shirt (white), shorts (white), would you like to make them?]
[Level 1 House has been established, can be repeatedly constructed, please confirm the quantity.]
Shirts and shorts were urgently needed, so naturally, Zhou Bai chose to make them, and the required material was still linen.
[Shirt: linen*4]
[Shorts: linen*6]
And the price of linen sold in the System Store was 4 copper coins, which meant the cost for both was 16 copper coins and 36 copper coins respectively; Zhou Bai directly priced them at 40 copper coins and 60 copper coins and then listed them.
As for the houses, Zhou Bai priced them at 6 Gold Coins; at this price, she could make a profit, but she didn't dare to overcharge for the wooden house. Besides buying, Zhou Bai also added the option to rent, 100 copper coins/day. Renting was more cost-effective than selling in the long run; this point still needed to be retained, and it also provided a way out for those with limited funds.
Due to limited funds, Zhou Bai temporarily built 10 houses.
The moment she confirmed, the Gold Coins in Zhou Bai's account flowed away.
Within the territory, 12 buildings sprang up.
Someone noticed and immediately shouted, "Everyone, look, lots of buildings appeared over there!"
Everyone looked over, their expressions revealing some surprise, and some rubbed their eyes.
"The territory was upgraded to a Level 1 Village, it must be the upgrade of the territory," Li Xingteng said excitedly, "It's similar to the games we played before, reaching certain conditions, the territory will upgrade, let's go and check it out."
Led by Li Xingteng, a group of people quickly went towards the newly emerged buildings.
Zhou Zhengping and Ding Qiurou knew Zhou Bai was responsible, glanced at her, and followed the group but maintained a short distance.
Zhou Bai lowered her voice slightly, "I unlocked the tailor shop and Level 1 House, 10 Level 1 Houses, we should go buy one, we will have a place to stay tonight."
After thinking, she added, "The cost of Level 1 House is about 5 Gold Coins, I priced it at 6 Gold Coins, while the rent is 100 copper coins/day."
"This price is quite reasonable, but as for renting, how many houses can you build with the money you have?" Zhou Zhengping glanced sideways at Zhou Bai.
"So I wanted to ask mom and dad if you're interested in investing in the real estate business in the territory?" Zhou Bai's eyes sparkled with a hint of ambition, what she didn't start before the apocalypse, the landlady business, could continue in this territory! Even more advantageous than the apocalypse, a win-win situation.
Ding Qiurou watched her daughter's little scheme, smiled gently, and directly sent Zhou Bai a sum of money, "I'll give you 300 Gold Coins first, use them as you wish, if they're not enough, ask me for more!"
The family finances were controlled by Ding Qiurou, and after converting the wealth, it was a huge fortune in her hands, now that her daughter obviously wanted to start a business, as parents, they supported her!
[Hope Village Resident Ding Qiurou has gifted you 300 Gold Coins, accept?]
Zhou Bai looked at the notification in front of her, smiled slightly, "Then I'll take it first and calculate interest for you later."
