[The Territory Training Hall has been upgraded! All guards will be given priority use for a period of 3 days!
All permanent residents shall be given a discount of 50% of the usual rates for the first 10 hours of usage, 30% for temporary residents.]
[Let’s increase the territory level even more!]
"WHOA."
The announcement naturally made a lot eyebrows rise, and those who had applied for the guards but didn’t pass (for now) were particularly envious.
So lucky! They wanted to try it too!
Of course, while the citizens didn’t get this benefit, they still had the extra discounts, so they weren’t too disappointed.
"It upgraded! It really upgraded?!!" yelled many voices around the territory. Most of the people nearby rushed to see the upgraded building. It was done by the time the announcement was made, and the newcomers could only look at those who were already there for more details.
"This is the first time I’ve seen a system building being constructed!" One said.
"It’s too magical!" Another nodded.
"I want to see what’s inside already!" Another one exclaimed. It was Hubert. It was his day off on guard duty, but he was still using it to train.
Despite his idiotic personality, the guy worked very hard.
Anyway, the ones kicked out during the upgrade were the first to enter, with the rest queuing up with anticipating hearts.
After about half an hour, it was finally the couple’s turn to enter the building. They saw that there weren’t many changes at all except for the signage at the entrance.
Apparently, the lower rooms remained the same, except monsters up to level 15 were available.
This meant the soldiers staying could also improve their levels. Of course, people would still go to Ferrol simply because there wouldn’t be enough rooms in the Training Hall for all of them.
There were no monetary rewards for killing a monster either, only experience (and discounted from the real thing).
Another shortcoming of the training hall was that it only simulated monsters, not settings, which meant the actual fighting situations, including training to take advantage of the terrain, couldn’t be simulated.
However, for the purpose of safe training, this was naturally a very very good thing. His soldiers would really still need to use this occasionally to master a few techniques they were practicing.
The couple passed by the ground floor and went straight to the stairs to see the upper facilities.
The upper two floors had completely different setups. On these floors were rooms dedicated to duos. The third floor was divided into two rooms for duos and trios, while the highest floor was only 1 room, and was dedicated to team play, with a maximum of 5 players.
Garan nodded, thinking such a setup made sense. They paused in front of the room they were taking—a room for duos—and Garan looked at his wife.
"I told you before that humans experience massive powerups at level 10 due to the elements while monsters’ bodies undergo major change at this level.
He paused and continued. "Their bodies would become so strong and quick, much more so than before breaking that threshold. Generally, aborigines would need 5 strongmen handling a monster of the same level."
Althea flinched. "So bad?! Is it always the case?"
"For Elementalists, this could be reduced to two or three, which was the main reason we’re so revered here. However, it was still extremely difficult to deal with monsters of the same level, even for us.
"Although us soldiers had learned several techniques and required a lot less manpower, it was generally not possible to deal with the same level alone.
"This is probably why the training hall has more emphasis on teams after level 2."
Althea frowned. This was very bad news.
She made a mental note to hire more people to draw and document the monsters and create an even more comprehensive encyclopedia. It would not only show details of monsters, it would also have a list of weaknesses, strengths, and other data.
There was already one in the works, but that one only did a basic introduction.
She would also increase the remuneration for comprehensive information on monsters level 10 and above.
Fortunately, level 10 and above monsters were rare in villages, and prevalent only in Towns.
This made her even less inspired to try to upgrade into a town, whatever the requirement for that was.
Their life was already very good, it was very reluctant to enter that tier with stronger enemies everywhere…
With a bit of a heavy heart, she entered the training room with her husband. Before picking monsters though, Althea checked her stats again.
