Chapter 352 - We Are Rich!
Everyone understood the point behind her reason. If one of his subordinates died, it meant a reset. If half his subordinates died because they did not have a healer, their army would be weakened by half. The healer was crucial to the army.
"That\'s a good point," Zhang Mengyao acknowledged Zowen\'s point, "But as I said, we are fighting zombies, not a strong kingdom or even the evolving strong beasts or monsters like we fought in the other world, but the much weaker opponent, the zombies. As long as we are strong enough with the upgraded class, casualties could be avoided."
"Oh, Mistress! You can\'t just dismiss the threat of the zombies just because they are weak. From what I know, not only the human can level up and become stronger but also zombies. They can evolve and get stronger if you give them enough time. We have been away for two months, what do you think the zombies have become in the dead city?" Zowen fired back with her argument.
At this moment, it was not just a discussion but an argument between the two girls. Tang Shaoyang could feel the sudden change in the atmosphere. It was as if the two women discharged electricity and a spark formed between the two.
"More reasons for us to get a stronger class for our people. The healer is useless if the one who you try to heal is instantly dead from the attack. It should be either Warrior or Guard or even Mage instead of Healer," Zhang Mengyao did not back down from the argument.
Tang Shaoyang and Zaneos exchanged glances. The Demon Swordsman shook his head and gestured toward him to do something about this.
"Alright, girls. We are here for discussion, not arguing with each other like this. But both of you are right, if we want to explore the dead city, if there are any of course, both are needed in our army," Tang Shaoyang immediately interrupted as soon as he noticed Zowen was about to fire back.
—That Lightning Bitch needs a slap on her back head. Summon me, Boss, I will slap her head to get to her sense.
Tang Shaoyang heard the smug voice from Karan. Of course, he was not going to summon the Orc. It would be a disaster if he summoned him too.
"I have a solution for that, we can upgrade both, but not a mage of course," Tang Shaoyang looked toward the two girls and explained, "Mage is so reliant on their mana, low-level mage army will not be effective unless we have a way to replenish the mana."
"I have to agree to this. Having a mage without a mana potion would be just a disaster while they can only cast a low-level spell," Zaneos immediately supported Tang Shaoyang\'s argument. Just in case the two girls would continue arguing again.
"So how are you going to upgrade the two classes at the same time?" Zhang Mengyao was the first one to ask him.
"Easy. Origin, how many coins do we have in the treasury?" Tang Shaoyang asked the smart AI.
[407,350,671 Game Coins!]
A little over 400 million, he was not expecting the number, "What the… We are rich!?" He could not believe what he heard.
[I am sorry, My Lord. I don\'t plan to discourage you, but 400 million is not enough to fully develop our territory. We need more coins since we are targeting the second territory.]
"We need a finance team to manage our coins, counting the taxes later on, and divide the coin based on our need while having some savings for an emergency," Tang Shaoyang fully agreed with Origin\'s idea and spoke to Zhang Mengyao. She nodded her head understandingly.
"How many coins do we need to upgrade the base to the next level?" He asked Origin again. Yes, the solution was to upgrade the base to the next level to gain the Class Point.
[We need 30 million GC for the next level which is Level 4 Base!]
"Good, we can upgrade the base to the next level. What are you waiting for, Origin? Get our base to the next level!" Tang Shaoyang grinned ear to ear.
[Unfortunately, My Lord. The verbal command does not work to upgrade the base. I need you or someone to represent you to upgrade the base manually from the control room.]
Zhang Mengyao stood up, "I will go," she volunteered to go without Tang Shaoyang\'s command. He nodded and let her leave the room.
"Talking about coins, how many coins do I have?" Tang Shaoyang muttered in a low voice as he checked the coins he had. To check GC, you need to do it manually. Status Window did not show how many coins he had.
"Not only my Empire is rich, but I am also rich!" Tang Shaoyang exclaimed in surprise at the sight of the number of his GC. He had a little over 210 million GC. That meant more than half of the empire\'s treasury was coming from him.
The way the GC worked was that the base would get the same coin to the member. Stage 1 zombie worth of 1 GC. If he killed a zombie, he and the faction got the same amount of GC.
"That must be the Dragon. You killed a Dragon, that for sure gives you a lot of GC. I am not surprised that a Dragon is worth 100 million GC," Zaneos knew little of the coin worked, but Zowen was clueless about this. There were still a lot of things she needed to learn.
[WHAT!? Did you just say a Dragon? Oh my, what kind of thing you have experienced in the Survival Game, My Lord? This servant wishes to know that!]
Despite being an AI, Origin seemed to have the same level of curiosity as a living being.
"We can save that for later, or I will permit you to peek into my head for a moment if you want to know," Tang Shaoyang did not mind his memories seen by the AI. Even though sometimes it was weird and once overstepped its authority, Origin had been obedient.
As he finished his words, a notification rang in his head.
[Your Smart Base has leveled up to Level 4 Smart Base!]
[Your Smart Base has unlocked Level 3 General Store!]
[Your Smart Base has unlocked a new random facility!]
[Congratulations! You have acquired Smithy Facility!]
[Your Smart Base has unlocked new buildings!]
[Your Smart Base has unlocked a new Unique Class!]
[Communication System has been upgraded!]
[2 Class Points have been granted!]
[Smart Base has reached Level 4!]
Bullets of notifications rang in his head. Tang Shaoyang was delighted upon hearing a series of notifications. What delighted him was that they got a Smithy, and they had a Blacksmith class available. Smithy and Blacksmith without a doubt was another way to strengthen his army.
It could help him to cut the fund to buy the gears too. His force was growing toward a good direction.
He did not immediately upgrade the class. When Zowen asked him about that, he told her to wait for Zhang Mengyao. It was not a long wait as Zhang Mengyao came back in a couple of minutes.
"You haven\'t upgraded the class yet?" That was her question as soon as she arrived inside the room.
"Yeah, we need to discuss more things. The healer is one of our options, but should we go with Warrior or Guard?" Tang Shaoyang motioned her to sit next to him. At the same time, he signaled Zaneos to speak, asking to voice his opinion before the two girls could start another argument.
The Demon Swordsman picked the signal and nodded, "Warrior\'s advantage is their strike power for sure while the Guard is their defense. However, since we decided to pick Healer, picking up Warrior to be upgraded is more reasonable."
Zaneos\'s reasoning was on point. Since they wanted to pick Healer, picking Warrior was a more reasonable choice for them. Tang Shaoyang nodded his head in agreement. As for Archer, they did not need specialized Archer yet. Archer without a good vanguard would be easy prey.
Tang Shaoyang then looked toward Zhang Mengyao, asking her opinion, "I want Guard to be chosen because I have a conjecture that Guard can advance to Knight. As a Knight myself, Knight is a good class with a balance of defense and attack. Knight can be our elite army temporary, but I agree with Zaneos\'s point. Since we have chosen Healer, it\'s more reasonable to have a firepower class, such as Warrior. Unless you want to abandon the Healer path and focus on Warrior and Guard. That is an option too."
For some reason, Zhang Mengyao seemed to be against the Healer\'s choice. Tang Shaoyang did not know why. He looked into her eyes, "Mengyao~" he called her out gently, "Is there a specific reason why you don\'t agree with Healer?" He felt there was a personal reason behind her opposition against the Healer.
He could see she was hesitating. Now he was pretty much sure this girl had some tail for her to go against the Healer, "It seems we need a little longer discussion before we can reach a final decision."
