Millionaire! Splurging Hard!
Chapter 11: Millionaire! Splurging Hard!
Another week passed. The towers were completed and since I had 1 million consumer points, I quickly bought Archer Puppets. I checked the system shop and there were additional puppets to buy, indeed, this system wanted me to use up all my points as soon as possible, it was not so funny.

So, I got 10 towers and 3 bowmen would man each of them. so 30 archer puppets would cost me a staggering 30k consumer points. Although it's a million, I definitely felt it was a trap.
If I splurge on puppets and golems to increase my army, I definitely will lose a lot of consumer points!
I stopped after buying the 30 archer puppets. I sat on my chair and thought deeply and after an hour, I decided that investing to golems and puppets would not be a bad choice at all.
I definitely saw the vision of summoning thousands of golems and puppets in a war. I laughed.
After purchasing the archer puppets for tower defenses, I bought 100 Sword Puppets, 100 Spear Puppets, 100 Bowman Puppets and 100 Shield Puppets. As for the golems, I bought 50 Steel Golems.
Why 100? They were really priced too high!

I spent 100k consumer points each for the sword, spear, bowman and shield puppets. In total, it costed me 400k consumer points. While the metal golems 250k consumer points. Overall, they all costed me 650k consumer points. I checked my system status and I cried when I saw it.

I stopped myself from buying more and doing anything reckless, so, I focused on my town.
With lots of supplies, I didn't worry for anything. I just continued to build and build!
As for the two artisans, they were delighted and there would always be work for them and their pay were so higher than when they were at the capital. I wondered how was my mother of this world. I hoped she was fine and doing good there.
Next month, the arena would then be opened to all participants of the competition. Good thing, the two artisan elders already started the training grounds and should be finished by next week.
As for the laws, it has been 30 days already and now, everyone has their citizenship Id cards and visitor's passes. I used my 20 human guards to attend to either policing people inside the town and providing visitor passes at the gate.
I knew the 20 would become too low later on, so, I decided to buy AI robots when the time comes. Also, citizens of my town has their benefits of able to own a house, as long as, they pay their yearly tax of 1 silver coin.
Most families already had their houses built by the two artisan's workers and more would be built later. I asked the two to prioritize the training ground so that the battle masters of my town would not do training outside the walls, attracting beasts and uncertain dangers.
And so, another week passed and the training grounds has been built. I made it free for licensed battle masters to train inside for a limited time of 1 hour per person. Since there were 100 slots, all the 100 licensed battle masters could train inside. The one who manages this another business of mine was the newly bought AI robot.
It was crazy though that the training grounds became the holy grounds for the battle masters and since it was totally free, they really abused it, however, it's okay, I am still earning consumer points from them!
I earned their respect and benevolence, I also earned consumer points from them!
Double shot!
....
Two weeks passed and the competition day was only a day away. During the past two weeks, battle masters has been fervently training at the training grounds building near the battle arena and has been frequenting the battle shop. Aside from working, they only did practicing with their puppets. They know it was illegal to pull out their puppets inside the town's general areas but the training grounds, battle shop, and arena allowed them to do so.
I also saw many visitors who wanted to watch the Battle Master competition, aside from the hundred of participants, the rewards for the winners and losers were also alluring to them. They also wanted to know how would the battle masters fight and how different were they from mages and martial artists.
One must know that most participants were tier 0 people, most of them too were citizens of Loisa, so, they were either previously a peasant or normal hunters.
As for the other buildings I required from the two elder artisans, I asked them to build me a "shopping mall". How? I bought a three story building blueprint from the system and costed me 35k consumer points.
I didn't bat an eyelid when I bought it. Testament to how rich I became, as I guessed.
They were still constructing it and should be finished by the next two weeks.
I looked at the whole town from my palace and found that everything about this place changed so much due to me. I felt narcissistic about it but I felt it was okay at that time.
On the Southwest, the stone houses, on the northwest, the new market 3 story building, battle shop and association house, on the northeast, the mini colosseum, on the southeast, the training grounds, and lastly, the middle was the beautiful plaza with a woman statue, representing the name of my town, Loisa, and I had the two artisans built it.
All of the walkways were paved with stones, so, traveling inside the town was easy and riding horses were not hard.
As for the Battle Arena or mini colosseum, I asked the AI robot, who was managing it to build a betting window before the competition starts the next day.
As for the golems and puppets? I added 50 of each bowmen, sword, spear and shield puppets, and 25 steel golems into the 10 specialized golems and puppets I had initially and formed a troop army under them. Their tasked was to scour the surrounding and kill beasts, then loot their bodies. For what? Of course, for me to sell to the citizens and visitors.
