Chapter 207 The Level 5 Fortress

Riley pulled up the Shelter Upgrade Panel.

The long list of requirements had finally turned into a sea of comforting, solid green.

“Lumber: 5,200 / 5,000 (Met)”

“Stone: 1,600 / 1,500 (Met)”

*Coal: 1,788 / 500 (Met)”

“Energy Core: 55/50 (Met)”

“Precision Electronic Components: 145/100 (Met)”

“Prosperity: 1,070/1,000 (Met)”

“Upgrade Shelter! Lv. 5!” Riley decided.

“System: All conditions met.”

“Deducting materials…”

“Shelter upgrading… Estimated time: 10 seconds.”

“Countdown initiated: 10, 9, 8…”

BOOM! RUMBLE!

As the countdown hit zero, the entire ground began to vibrate violently.

“Woah!”

Inside the house, Neeko jumped in surprise and instinctively reached out to grab Riley’s leg for safety.

“Don’t worry, the house is just having a growth spurt.”

Riley braced herself, looking through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the world outside.

The stone perimeter wall surrounding the yard seemed to come alive. The heavy blocks let out low, grinding sounds as they disassembled and reconfigured, pushing outward at an incredible speed.

The territory, originally a 98-foot radius, began a frantic expansion.

Snow was shoved aside, and frozen earth was claimed by the base.

131 feet… 164 feet… 197 feet!

But that was only the beginning of the transformation.

Whirrr-

thecenter of the courtyard, the “Lesser Elemental Altar expanded in a burst of light, growing a full size larger

Its base was now composed of an unfentified black stone carved with intricate, glowing magical runes.

Next came the main house itself.

Riley heard the groaning and creaking of timber growing right above her head.

She hurried outside and looked up.

The roof of the once-single-story cottage was slowly rising into the air.

Above the slanted roofline, a second-story structure manifested out of thin air-a sophisticated attic!

The attic featured a steep, pointed roof and a wide, open terrace at the front, surrounded by a beautiful wooden railing.

“Upgrade complete!”

“Congratulations to player SpicyBurger; your shelter has reached: Lv. 5!”

“Territory Range: 197-foot radius”

“Congratulations! You are one of the first ten survivors in this region to reach Lv. 5. Reward: Premium Rustic Furniture Pack.”

I’m only in the top ten? Riley hadn’t expected others to be faster than her, but then she remembered that time flowed differently in each region before the merger, and she let the thought go.

As the system prompts faded, the vibrations ceased.

The snowstorm raged on, but inside the boundaries of this territory, it felt like a different world entirely.

Riley stood in the yard, soaking in the changes to her camp.

She checked the stats of the newly upgraded altar.

“Facility: Intermediate Elemental Altar”

“Coverage: 230-foot radius (Full territory coverage)”

“Constant Temperature: 72°F”

“Passive 1: Fountain of Life (Restores 2 HP per minute while in range).”

“Passive 2: Holy Exorcism (Deals continuous burn damage to low-level Undead/Shadow creatures).”

“Passive 3: Refresh (Stamina and Morale recovery speed increased by 15%).”

Fountain of Life had improved slightly, and the Refresh effect was a welcome addition.

“And there’s this…”

Riley looked at the new functions unlocked on her panel.

“Territory Shield (Basic): When active, consumes Energy Cores/Electricity to form a translucent dome over the base, blocking

It was ority a basic shield-it wouldn’t stop a heavy artillery barrage but it was more than enough to stop intruders.
