Chen Yu, as the person involved, was unaware of the commotion he had caused.
Or rather, he was aware...
But he didn't care, and was even too lazy to check the chat channel.
After his level increased to 10.
The first thing he had to do, of course, was to upgrade all his territories.
Then he glanced at the system panel...
This time, he looked at the total!

The total number of Dungeons currently reached 95.
The population consequently climbed to the maximum of 19,000.
The Adventurers in Tide Town and Deep Sea Town only experienced queuing for less than two days before they could once again enter Dungeons freely.
Couldn't fill them!
Absolutely couldn't fill them...
The population within the territory hadn't increased much, only adding 10 Dark Elf NPCs.
These were also directly hired by Qi Maosong at a high price.
Lord Chen was wealthy and never bothered about these 100 or 200 soul crystals.
These Dark Elves moved directly into the cave world of the former Goblin Kingdom; the environment there was quite suitable for them, but with only 10 people, managing an entire kingdom was indeed very time-consuming.
Just cleaning up would take who knows how long...
It was evident that Lord Chen's residents also had a tough job.
The current territory was simply too vast, a situation of vast land and sparse population. The residents had to farm, act as NPCs in Dungeons, and also manage the environmental hygiene of various territories.
It could be said that their daily workload was also very arduous.
But arduous as it was.
Chen Yu still strictly adhered to an 8-hour workday, providing food and accommodation. When tired from work, they could also go to various Dungeons to experience exotic customs and personally feel the joy of these Dungeons.
Not only was their living safe.
Their diet also ensured meat at every meal.
Under such treatment.
The residents in the territory not only didn't feel tired, but were full of drive, swearing to die loyal to their Lord.
The cumulative income of all Dungeons currently indeed reached over 100,000.
Similarly.
Maintenance costs also increased with the Dungeon's level, with the current daily maintenance fee reaching over 1500, equivalent to 1.5% of a day's income.
Such a maintenance fee, if taken out for two or three days, could provide Li Siya and the others with a large wave of troops, causing a stir.
After reaching Level 10.
Steel Fortress also underwent a system update.
Because at Level 10, the drop rate of various quality cards had increased accordingly.
Originally, Steel Fortress mainly produced excellent-grade cards, occasionally rare-grade cards, and as for outstanding-grade, one couldn't even dream of it.
Now...
With the increase in level, the drop rates of various level cards have also been greatly improved.
So, brick-moving had a different price now.
Chen Yu redefined it.
For excellent-grade, only firearm cards and kindling cards were retained; all other shield cards and vehicle cards were removed. The price remained unchanged, still dropping 100 happy coins upon killing, but with a 50% drop chance.
Rare-grade cards now became the main force, with a significant increase in drop rate compared to before.
So, Chen Yu re-priced them to drop 200 happy coins upon killing, cutting the price from the original 500 to 200, and having a 1% chance to drop 10,000 happy coins.
Then came outstanding-grade.
Originally, outstanding-grade was priced at 10,000 happy coins, purely as an ultimate prize to attract people. Chen Yu never expected Adventurers to be able to kill them.
In fact, no one has reached the top so far.
Now that the drop rate increased, Chen Yu used outstanding-grade monsters to replace the previous rare-grade monsters, and priced them to drop 1000 happy coins upon killing.
This price was already quite high.
Chen Yu calculated comprehensively that the brick-moving income should increase by about 20% compared to before, further boosting the Adventurers' enthusiasm for brick-moving.
Especially those Adventurers who were completely fooled by female streamers, endlessly moving bricks all day long, just waiting for the female streamer to shout "Brother, you're awesome" at night.
After setting these few cards.
Chen Yu finally set a legendary-grade monster at the top, this time priced at 30,000 happy coins.
This reward, like the previous outstanding-grade, was purely for attraction. Chen Yu never thought anyone could drop this card, or even kill it.
After all, the drop rate was too low; even if they really tried to farm it, they wouldn't get it.
After redefining the price of brick-moving.
Chen Yu reset the monster cards.
Excellent-grade only had firearm cards and kindling cards, which were specifically for Zhang Shiyu to mess around with.
Rare-grade cards were the same as before, encompassing the entire system, including firearm cards, shield cards, kindling cards, and vehicle cards, and their quality was also significantly higher than before.
And then the most important were the outstanding-grade cards...
After reaching outstanding-grade.
Things like anti-Tank cannons, Gatling Machine Guns, portable rocket launchers, etc., could all be produced.
In terms of vehicles, high-tech vehicles like single-person aircraft, armored vehicles, heavy Tanks, and cruisers could all be designed, but the most useful... actually still had to be single-person vehicle cards like motorcycles, whose attributes were not dispersed.
Although the drop rate was not high, such a card, once dropped, would definitely be considered a strategic material in the current area.
