Kim Hyunwoo leisurely appreciated the landscape beyond the territory castle, along with the territory development level nearing 200.
The newly appeared market next to the residential area caught his eye immediately.
People, instead of sitting in the square selling items as before, were buying and selling items in the newly built market, and the tavern attached to the market had shed its cheap image with stone tiles added everywhere, thanks to the expansion construction, unlike the previous all-wood construction.
Moreover, the walls, which had been merely wooden fences, had developed further with the construction of wooden watchtowers near the walls, and the expanded blacksmith had also grown a bit larger than before.
"It's satisfying to see it grow."
Of course, considering the growth stage of the territory, it was still very early, but the changes brought about by this level of investment were quite pleasing to Kim Hyunwoo.
After all, the territory, which was becoming more prosperous day by day with each investment, was providing him with great satisfaction.
From the moment the processing plants, which required Magic Stones for production, were constructed, it didn't matter whether Kim Hyunwoo used Blue Stones to extract resources or not.
Once all the processing plants were built, they could produce high-quality processed resources suitable for materials, even if not as high-grade as the top-quality resources created using Blue Stones.
After all, buildings made from unprocessed resources without going through a processing plant would lower the happiness of the territory's residents and increase the chance of building accidents, which is why he had used Blue Stones to create resources.
Of course, with production being limited, he would need to build a trading post to import resources until the level increased.
Since it was important to reduce the use of Blue Stones, which could only be obtained in limited amounts through special events, Kim Hyunwoo was eagerly anticipating the construction of the processing plants and the trading post.
"Elena and the soldiers are also growing quite well."
With those thoughts, Kim Hyunwoo opened the information window.
Considering only about a week had passed, both the soldiers and Elena were showing rapid growth.
Hero Name: Elena

※The hero feels trust towards you.
Kim Hyunwoo smiled as he looked at Elena's information window, thinking.
"The hardworking trait really is good."
Normally, as all stats increase, the rate of growth tends to slow down, but despite her being a 2-star, her stats were increasing quite rapidly.
However, Kim Hyunwoo, who was naturally smiling at her outstanding growth, had one point of curiosity.
"Why is her Luck increasing?"
That was because Elena's Luck stat was increasing.
Kim Hyunwoo knew of only two cases where the Luck stat could increase.
One was when a fortuitous event occurred for Elena, significantly increasing her stats.
The other was when Elena survived a life-threatening situation.
"But considering that, has she... faced a life-threatening situation? If anything, it would only be the first level of the Labyrinth."
Since most of the tasks he had assigned to Elena up to now were of a nature that did not threaten her life, Kim Hyunwoo wore a puzzled expression.
"Maybe I should be more selective with the missions, just in case. Plus, soldiers need actual combat experience to grow, so I should pair them up."
With that thought, he opened the military forces window this time.
