"Why… are you looking at me like that?" Winona asked, with eyes looking a bit scared. Althea blinked, confused.
"Looking at you like what?"
"Never mind,"
Convinced that it was her imagination, Winona shifted her attention back to the cute babies on the cot. It so happened that Little Pepper was closer to her, and Little Meatball was trying to roll to his mother.
Different shades of blue eyes met, and Winona couldn’t help but gently pinch Little Pepper’s cheeks.
She was very gentle of course, but it didn’t stop her from poking multiple times.
"Hmnnnhh!!" The baby girl pouted, her cute little eyebrows meeting as if expressing her annoyance.
Of course, this pout just made her chubby cheek even chubbier, and it made her look cuter.
"Ohmy, a feisty little one, eh? I wonder who you inherited it from?" Winona giggled, poking her tummy.
"Hmnggnmmm!!" Little Pepper mumbled, annoyed, and Winona raised her hand in faux surrender.
"Yes, princess! I will stop now."
Little Meatball, who was uncharacteristically behaved because he was chilling in the arms of his soft and fragrant mother, seemed to have noticed that some ’fun’ was happening elsewhere.
Althea noticed her baby boy squirming a bit and saw where he was looking. With a smile, she placed him beside Little Pepper in front of Winona, so they could both be teased by the blonde instead.
Althea was watching them fondly, giggling occasionally when a familiar alert sounded in her head.
[Ding! The Village Center (Lv2) will now upgrade to Village Center (Lv3)] freёwebnovel.com
Althea paused. Oh, she forgot about that…
…
When the Village Center was upgraded, everyone inside was kicked out. Out of nowhere, they appeared outside the halls, some directly landing on other people.
They were all dizzy and disoriented. Someone even vomited on a poor passerby. "HEY!!"
"I’m sorry, it’s just—"
However, his apology was cut when he saw the passerby look behind him in a daze, forgetting the puke on his shirt.
Blinking, he turned to look and his eyes widened—along with everyone else in that area.
They watched in amazement as the former two-floor building magically increased in height and added a floor.
It was incredible to watch and definitely difficult to believe if they hadn’t witnessed it themselves.
Obviously, there was an announcement of the upgrade, but it was still an unexpectedly magical sight.
Althea, far away and in the comfort of her house, also checked the new status of the Village center.
The new village center now had three floors, with the upper floors having a ceiling height of about 3 meters, while the ground floor was still higher at around 4.
Other than this, there really weren’t a lot of new functions. This may have been because level 3 Territory Centers were often found in Towns, which in and of itself presented a lot of upgrades.
