Well, what reward would be suitable?

Well! Let’s reward her handsomely tonight!

“Alright, you can go about your tasks.”

After dismissing Wilus, Ji Chen stood up, stretched lazily, and felt content.

After the incident with the underground lizardman kingdom, the Crown of the Ocean entered a period of stable development.

Every day, various buildings sprung up from the ground. The residential area on the east side of the Lord Manor had expanded from its initial twenty or thirty houses to nearly two hundred.

At a glance, the houses were neatly arranged, hidden among lush vegetation, giving the area a villa-like feel.

On the other side, the military recruitment camp was surrounded by walls, with dozens of recruitment camps standing within, forming a military zone.

On the muddy flats to the east of the Crown of the Ocean, close to fifty warships of various kinds were anchored, their masts rising and their flags fluttering, presenting an awe-inspiring sight.

Every day, more than ten warships patrolled around the New Moon Islands and within the Stormy Sea, ensuring safety.

Not far from the water fort, the commercial port had been completed two days ago.

This commercial port could accommodate up to a hundred merchant ships, and more than thirty mechanical cranes stood on the docks, easily loading and unloading heavy cargo.

It was believed that in the near future, this place would be as prosperous as Silver Harbor, filled with merchant ships from all over.

The sea rice cultivation area, located several kilometers to the west of the territory, had grown to over a thousand mu thanks to the diligent efforts of the native tribes.

A sea of green rice plants gently swayed in the breeze, bringing a sense of joy.

Indeed, “a vast expanse of fertile land” could not describe it any better.

From the underground lizardman world and the kobold caves, an endless stream of ores, fluorescent mushrooms, and various weapons and equipment were transported out and piled up in the warehouse.

A portion of these resources would be used for the needs of the territory, while the remaining would be preserved until Raymond’s return to sell and trade them for the required resources.

After going through several events before, the Crown of the Ocean had gained a large amount of labor force, and now every aspect of the territory was rapidly developing.

Each day brought about new changes, and it could be described as ever-changing.

Ji Chen casually opened the territory panel and noticed that the prosperity level had already reached over 170,000 points, far surpassing the requirement to upgrade to a “City”.

Seeing this, he didn’t hesitate and immediately chose to upgrade the territory.

The tens of thousands of resources needed for the upgrade were nothing to him now; he spent them without even batting an eye.

Soon, after clicking the upgrade button five times in a row, a system prompt popped up.

“Ding- Territory level successfully increased (from 5th-level Town to ist-level City).”

“Ding- City-level buildings have been unlocked.”

Upon reaching City-level, the appearance of the Lord Manor underwent a tremendous change.

It transformed from a two-story attic into a four-story castle with a main and auxiliary building, featuring a red roof and white walls that combined both formidable defense and elegance.

Each floor had several rooms, including reception rooms, dining halls, and storage rooms, all well-equipped.

Ji Chen took a leisurely stroll around and revealed a satisfied expression.

This was the kind of Lord Manor a lord should reside in.

Next, he opened the panel to check the current size of the territory.

As a ist-level City, the territory covered an area of three kilometers in length and width, totaling nine square kilometers, equivalent to ninety thousand square meters of land.

Not too big, but not too small either.

However, it still couldn’t cover even one-tenth of the main island.

Ji Chen felt slightly dissatisfied and decided to upgrade it further, directly raising it to a 5 th-level City.

This time, he was more satisfied as the 5th-level City covered an area of a square with a length and width of ten kilometers, totaling one hundred square kilometers.

Yet, it was worth mentioning that since the Crown of the Ocean was originally situated on the southeast side of the main island, nearly three-fifths of this one hundred square kilometers were located in the sea, with only about forty square kilometers covering the main island.

This was one of the frustrating aspects of island-type territories. When upgrading, the included land might be less than half of what a land-type territory would have.

Just as Ji Chen was considering whether to directly upgrade to a Mega City, a commotion arose from outside.

“Unidentified enemies spotted in the waters! Be on alert!”

Ji Chen’s expression turned serious, and he closed the panel before immediately walking out.

The residents didn’t show signs of panic; they continued with their work confidently, knowing that the Lord and the territory’s army would protect them from any harm.

As Ji Chen stepped out, they greeted him with salutes and well wishes.

“My Lord.”

“You’ve worked hard, my Lord…”

Ji Chen nodded in response and checked the detection map from the warning lighthouse.

On the radar-like map, there was a red dot representing an unknown vessel in the northeast direction of the New Moon Islands, slowly moving on the sea surface.

Two of his own warships were rushing towards it at full speed.

As Ji Chen observed the red dot on the detection map, which seemed to be a ship, moving slowly along the edge of the storm, he furrowed his brow.

This appearance didn’t seem like an enemy; instead, it resembled a ship that had accidentally strayed here, emanating a sense of bewilderment.

Meanwhile, in the northeast waters of the New Moon Islands…

An extremely damaged warship was navigating on the sea, listing heavily.

Two of its three masts were broken, and the remaining one showed signs of severe damage. The ship’s sails were torn with several large holes.

On the chaotic deck, sailors were working hard to repair the damaged hull and attend to the injured..
