Chapter 351: We Are Rich! (1/2)
Healer and Strong Warrior, both were difficult decisions to make. Healer and Mage, both were equally important too.
”You can use a potion to replace the Healer's role, but Potion Maker will take a long time to make the real potion. Inferior product of Healing Potion for example. The potion Maker needs to identify the materials, then she or he needs to find the materials, and the last question, how long do we need to make sure everyone holds at least one Healing Potion?” Zowen looked toward Zhang Mengyao as she voiced her thoughts about why the base needed more healers.
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.
