Chapter 896: Building the City (1)
The capital city was the most important place for all forces, such as the Golden City for the Munn Kingdom, Casabianca for the Country of Light, and Drekoen for the Country of Darkness. The city was the most powerful emblem and also the symbol of a territory and organization. Therefore, it was essential for Rhode to build one.
Although he could use the construction system to build a massive fortress like the one in the Land of Atonement, it wasn’t cost-effective. He had to spend a lot of gold coins where even the lowest-level city required tens of millions and mid-level cities were in the billions. Of course, there were also buildings that were out of specifications, which not even the gold coins of this entire continent could afford—such as the Death Star[1] or something.
This time, he had no intention of doing so.
After the lesson he had with the Land of Atonement, he more clearly understood what ‘more haste less speed’ meant. He could save a whole lot of time if he used the construction system to build the city, but it would be an issue if he didn’t consider the population that he could accommodate. Just like the Land of Atonement, even though the fortress was comprehensive inside-out, the sparse population led to many places being uninhabited for a long period of time. As a result, these uninhabited areas brought a lot of problems until he accepted a large number of refugees to occupy them, which finally brought some vitality to the place. If he were to build a strong city without considering its size and capacity, it would just end up as a ghost town.
Currently, there were less than 20,000 old, fragile women and children residing in the tower in the middle of this territory. He could build a city that could accommodate 100,000 people. But… for what purpose?
Therefore, he predicted that it would be for the best if he could build a city that could expand in size anytime, just like a core that could match different plug-ins to enhance its capabilities. But he had to carefully plan the external areas to prevent slums. Although he had no intention of designing the city as an utopia, he also didn’t wish to see his city in a filthy mess either.
Fortunately, the construction system also upgraded in level after Rhode received this territory. Right now, there were many options from his dragon soul powers and one of them was the ability to ‘restore’ the city using the dragon soul powers.
That’s right. ‘Restore’.
The Order in the Land of Chaos was shattered, but it didn’t mean that it couldn’t be fixed. It was just like how Rhode’s group entered the Land of Chaos for the first time. As they advanced in the Land of Chaos, they saw grasslands, bridges, and paths emerging in the empty spaces of Order. This was the result of the shattered Order fragments returning to space.
Rhode nodded and raised his arm.
The gorgeously complicated system interface emerged before his eyes.
