After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 61

[Confirmed! Altera Village (Lv1) has been constructed. Please check the status of your territory in the territory panel.]

[Please set the entrance requirements and taxation standards (changeable): _{frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓}

Entry:

Visitor pass (1-day validity): 10 copper

Temporary Residency (1 month validity): 300 copper

Permanent Residency: 10 gold

Taxation: 10%]

Good guy, that bastard Bobby raised the prices by 10 times.

"Tsk, tsk."

She, on the other hand, knew that the prosperity of a place was in the quantity and quality of its people, so she decided to lower some requirements.

[Confirm:

Entry:

Visitor pass (1 day validity): 5 copper

Temporary Residency: 100 copper

Permanent Residency: 10 gold

Taxation: 10%

Yes | No]

She set the entrance/temporary residence fee to at least half the default.

This would not only increase her population but it would also allow the people to save more money to spend on more useful things—Things that, in the long run, would eventually strengthen themselves and, by extension, the territory.

However, she retained the default 10 gold for permanent residency simply because she had the confidence in the territory that she would build. If the population became saturated, she might even increase this.

Wise men said that the more difficult it was to obtain, the more it would be appreciated. She hoped that at least the permanent residents would be extremely loyal to the territory. The difficulty would also add prestige to the status.

And with prestige, its intangible value would increase.

Of course, she’d be adding alternative ways to earn this. This was something for later.

Lastly, investing so much would also make people reluctant to leave.

People’s goal—even outsiders—would soon be to become permanent residents in her territory. She wanted the first thing people to think of when thinking of Altera was the good life it provided.

Althea was planning on building a great territory and she believed that her land would definitely live up to its name:

It would be so Proud that it would never be bullied, so Powerful that it could protect all that it should, and so Superb that it would lead the development and prosperity of those it sheltered.

This was her goal.

[Sheila Smith hopes to join your village as a permanent resident.]

She directly clicked Yes and she looked at the men. Sheila had money because they took away valuables and safety deposit boxes in the hotel. What about the others?

Harold and Eugene looked at her embarrassedly. "Well, we could only afford the temporary residency for now."

Althea chuckled, she wasn’t planning on making them pay at all.

However, in retrospect, they probably wouldn’t feel very comfortable with taking advantage of her like that.

In the end, she found a decent alternative for them.

"As the Lord’s party, I can give you an exception and take the permanent residency as credit." She said and the others brightened.

A few pieces of gold appeared in her hand and handed to each one.

The men brightened at this, while Maya just sparkled at the sparkly gold in her hand.

"We will definitely pay you back!" Harold said, and Eugene nodded.

Eugene guided Theodore to do the same, which was a bit of a challenge.
