payment

The number of towns people grew fast with the new refugees, so the need for the payment system was needed more than ever. Aron, Jack and Jessica took hold of the dungeons loot over the last few days. This did give them a huge boost of level 1 heart crystals, now it was time for Yue and Jessica to push some of those crystals towards the people for doing something. But first they scanned the loot of what they could do.

Aron: 80.000 heart crystals, that's a lot to let people build or make something. The question is how are we going to earn heart crystals ourselves without doing dungeons?

Yue: We could do taxes but I'm sure people will complain about that.

Jessica: What about an entrance fee for the towns du dungeons? They should be lower than what you can earn, except for training dungeons don't drop any crystals.

Yue: Sounds good to me.

Aron: I would say that is a good plan, but let's do it in different tiers. Free entry of the training dungeons, a low fee for the level 1 resource dungeons and a higher fee for the level 1 treasure dungeon. For the level two dungeons I would say training free, resource same as level 1 treasure and the level 2 treasure have it locked for now until we know what you can earn in it.

Jessica: Are you planning to do the level 2 treasure dungeon Aron? And what about people emptying the treasure dungeons over and over again are we sure they recover?

Aron: Yes I'm planning on it before we move towards the goat dungeon. I'm sure they recover over time, only you and me can take out the dungeon crystals Jack did try it but failed.

Yue: So you need a certain rank or class to do that?

Mona hearing the conversation between her kids and the new mayor was thinking if she could do the same if she was their age. She new they had trained most of the kids before they had a system to adapt to any situation but to see them thriving in such a short amount of time was unbelievable.

Mona: You guys don't have to worry about dungeon crystals for now, only a king or queen can assign people.

Aron and Jessica looking confused towards their mother. Before Aron or Jessica could ask a question Mona was long gone.

Aron: With that sorted I guess.... We should find out how we would pay city workers like sentries and others guarding the town.

Yue: What about a free entrance to the dungeon?

Jessica: They would still need a captain to make a team, I'm more inclined to pay them in a fully carrying them trough a dungeon and let them loot the crystals. The rest would be towns property, regarding our crystals I don't mind doing dungeons.

Aron: I don't mind doing them but we need a backup plan for if things go wrong.

Yue: Let's start with the fee for recourse and treasure dungeons, the rest we can decide later on. So to start putting crystals into the town we need to build something, I would suggest the watchtowers and put them at the gates for now.

With Aron and Jessica agreeing they got to work, 4 stone watchtowers were commissioned for 500 crystals each. The builders gladly accepted the commissioned work but they, noticed they now needed to buy stone from Thovora she was now fully in charge of the mine.

Thovora charging 200 crystals for the sone they needed made a quick 800 crystals in 1 day. She would save those crystals for later, the quest board did give regular mining quest and most workers did save up their crystals until the higher levels. Thovora with a new plan was looking for Aron, she needed to get level 25 and make one of the miners co-captain so she would have the same skills and a backup captain.

Aron: Hi Thovora how are you doing?

Thovora: I'm fine but I have a urgent question, could you please take me in the level 2 treasure dungeon that we have in town?

Aron: I could but why?

Thovora: I would like to make someone co-captain of the miners to grow perhaps with that we can mine or find other materials as well. I'm willing to pay 400 crystals for it.

Natasha overhearing the conversation did do the same only she wanted an full upgrade to captain system, this would set her back a few levels but the dungeon should make up for the level difference.

Natasha: I will pay 300 for a captain system and then 400 crystals for taking me into the dungeon with Thovora.

Aron: You both have a deal. I just need to setup a team with people who want to run the dungeon but that won't take long.

With a bit more chatting the deal was now they would enter the treasure dungeon level 2 until they both were level 25. Natasha and Thovora did get a head start on the other crafts people. Aron was not going to pay for the damage dealers and healers accept splitting the crystals with everyone. So even Thovora and Natasha could get a part of their crystals back.

Two days later Aron had a team of 50 people who wanted to join the dungeon, Jack, Kim, Chloe, Daisy, Jessica, Ricky and Ivy did join immediately when they did hear the level 2 treasure dungeon. When the entered the dungeon it was kinda boring for the damage dealers and healers, it was a mammoth dungeon that was more like dps sponges. Jack could easily evade all attacks on him and Kim and Ricky didn't have to heal, they were looking in their shops for damage skills and buffing skills they could use in the other fights.

Aron on damage with the others did make it a training session to get skills leveled up. Jessica now with skills on level 6 and 7 was wondering to what level they could go, the system didn't give an answer on that question. Not that the system was actually questions anymore, Jessica only did find the system messaging them if it was something they could find out themselves.

After just 6 hours in the dungeon both Natasha and Thovora did get level 25, they split all crystals evenly and got 308 crystals each. Aron and Jessica took the rest of the loot, it had some good results like [tailor workshop blue print], [sawmill blue print], [alchemist study blue print], [school blue print], [library blue print], [stone farm blueprint], [farm storehouse blue print].

The tailors, alchemist, cooks, farmers and woodworkers seeing both builders and miners having a captain did ask Jessica for the same. Aron told Jessica that the building team payed 300 crystals but if the bought 5 systems in one go he would make it 1000 crystals in total. For them crystals was harder to get so he hoped this way they would be able to do it fast. As a reward he would let the buildings they got build.

Yue now going to the refugees of the fourth dungeon was still worried about them and at the same time mad. She came in the temporary camp to look for someone willing to look at her, when she found a little girl looking at her Yue started talking.

Yue: I know you had it hard in the past, we are trying to help you all but if you don't talk to us or anyone else we will let you go out of our town without anything.

Refugee: ....

Yue: Are you at least able to understand us?

The refugee nodded.

Yue: Then why are you not talking with us or the other refugees?

Refugee: Scared.

Yue: Then talk with us, there are 149 other people here who did get captured in the same dungeon. We have 411 people rescued from dungeons and 231 of them later than you, they are already talking with us and helping gathering food etcetera.

The girl was quiet. Yue had enough of it and decided to move on and make plans of getting them to another spot. She hoped the rest of the people would agree, specially now that they worked hard together to grow. Yue knew if they set them out of town it would be a dead sentence, sadly they didn't have the extra resources to cope with 150 people not doing anything.

She walked for half an hour before she noticed she was being followed by the refugee girl. Now close to the city hall Yue would sit down at her desk and wondered if the girl would follow. Daisy also seeing this followed quickly, she had gone to the 4th refugee camp as most people called it. Thovora walking around seeing all of this started to follow as well.

Yue was now inside her office and the girl still following on what she thought was a safe distance, she didn't know she was spotted and followed as the same time. Whe she walked into the city hall she was surprised to see that people could build something like this. The entrance had a 10 by 30 meter entrance hall and the ceiling was 4 meters high, Jessica even thought about making it even grander but they didn't have marble.

The girl now middle in the entrance hall looked around for the person she was following. Yue left only one door open so she would follow, when the girl kept walking she saw some people at the quest board not paying her any attention. Daisy and Thovora who did follow the girl walked towards the quest board and did look closely to watch the girl was doing. When she finally entered Yue's office she was looking at a smiling Yue.

Yue: So how long are you going to follow me and how long are you going to keep quiet?

Girl refugee: They don't want any humans in this region, so it is better to die.

Thovora: Who doesn't want any humans in this region orcs, goblins, halflings, dwarfs or another race?

Girl refugee: The orcs.

Thovora: The orcs are weak against these people, so don't worry help them and they will help you like they did with me.

Girl refugee: OK, but how?

Daisy: We will assign someone to you, he or she will train you. The only thing is you will need to pick a job yourself, I would prefer it if you would do it now so we can start training now. After that you can show the other refugees that came with you.

Refugee girl: OK, what can I choose?

Daisy and Yue explained every class except the captain, after all that she chose the hunter. Her determination changed from no hope to revenge.
