Chapter 82 New City
“Build a new manor?” He gazed at the plot of land that had been marked out to the southeast, his eyes filled with confidence and anticipation. “That’s exactly what I want to do right now! It seems I need to urge Buffet to speed things up.”

With clear goals and generous rewards to drive him, Kruse felt full of energy.

The rise of the family was built brick by brick.

Then, Kruze had a thought and took out the Elf Cordyceps, which represented the reward of new life and hope, from the system space.

The glistening cordyceps in his palm emitted a faint life force. He pondered for a long time, weighing the current state of his territory against its future needs.

Ultimately, he made a decision: to place the new sprite insect in the purple root potato garden.

Purple sweet potatoes are not only an important food supplement for the territory, but their potential medicinal value is also worth exploring. A fairy insect that focuses on purple sweet potatoes can undoubtedly greatly improve its yield and quality.

Under the cover of night, he quietly arrived at the purple sweet potato field outside the castle.

They chose a central location with fertile soil and suitable sunlight, carefully dug up the soil, gently buried the cordyceps containing the life of the spirit insect, and meticulously covered it.

Just as the cordyceps and the earth's essence completely merged, the familiar system notification sound arrived as expected:

[Ding! The Purple Root Sweet Potato Sprite has successfully gestated and is expected to be born in three days.]

Upon hearing the notification, Kruse breathed a sigh of relief; this was precisely the delayed birth function he had specifically requested from the system.

Recalling the last time Huang Deng's spirit insect appeared out of thin air, it aroused the doubts and questions of the steward Wilstone and Buffett for a long time, and he had to spend a lot of time explaining it to them.

If another new sprite-like insect suddenly appears out of nowhere this time, he will really have a hard time finding a reasonable explanation.

"That makes things much easier." Kruse patted the dirt off his hands, already having a plan in mind.

He planned to wait a few days, and if no serfs happened to discover anything unusual during this time, he would personally come to "inspect" the purple root potato garden, and then "unexpectedly and pleasantly" "discover" this newly appeared fairy insect grass.

In this way, everything seems logical and will no longer arouse suspicion.

Having done all this, he quietly withdrew from the purple sweet potato field, as if he had never been there.

The following morning, Kruse arrived at Wilstone with a meticulously drawn scroll of parchment.

He spread out the drawings on the table, which were clearly outlined in charcoal pencils, showing the planning of streets, blocks, and various buildings.

“This is my urban planning map for the new Liontooth Town. What do you think?” Kruse’s tone was filled with barely concealed excitement and anticipation. Wilstone only glanced at it briefly before his face showed extreme shock. He even subconsciously swallowed, pointing at the grand blueprint on the map, which far exceeded the current town’s size, his voice trembling slightly: “Young…Young Master! Isn’t this…this plan…aren’t it too massive? This is practically rebuilding a city!”

The planned urban area, street widths, and scale of public facilities on the blueprints far exceed the needs and carrying capacity of this dilapidated town.

“Don’t worry.” Kruze had clearly anticipated his reaction, and he smiled calmly as he gestured on the blueprints with his fingers. “We can take it slow and implement it in stages. Anyway, most of Lionfang Town is in a state of disrepair right now, so we can demolish one area and rebuild another. This way, we can improve the situation gradually without affecting the living conditions of all the residents all at once.”

He paused, then tapped a specially marked area on the blueprint with his finger, his tone becoming particularly serious: "Especially here, I plan to build a large public bathhouse."

"A giant bathhouse?!" Wilstone almost cried out in astonishment, his eyes wide as if he had heard something unbelievable. "Young Master! That kind of facility... that's something only densely populated big cities, or certain historic monasteries and large castles could have! Our Liontooth Town is so small, building a giant bathhouse? This..."

Wilstone's shock was not unfounded. In his mind, public bathhouses represented a very high level of civilization and municipal management.

It is not just a building, but a complex system.

“Young Master, have you considered this?” Wilstone tried to soften his tone, but it was still full of worry. “Building a bathhouse might not be the hardest part; the real challenge is maintenance and operation! It requires a continuous supply of clean water, complex water diversion and drainage systems, a huge amount of firewood to heat the water, and dedicated personnel for daily cleaning and management… Each of these is a huge and continuous expense! For our current territory, this burden is simply too heavy!”

He simply couldn't understand why the young master would suddenly propose building such a seemingly "showy but impractical" facility, which could even become a financial black hole.

Kruse already had a preliminary plan in mind, but he couldn't reveal the parts about the system's secrets and some advanced ideas to Wilstone for the time being.

"Don't worry about the operational and maintenance issues. I have my own plans and I will handle them properly." Kruse's tone was confident and unquestionable, trying to soothe Wilstone's concerns. "Since the general direction is fine, let's start to move forward step by step according to the plan."

His finger moved to the center of the drawing, where a square area was clearly marked: "You see, I plan to build a spacious square in the very center of the town. This place can be used as a market, a celebration venue, and even a place to assemble the militia."

Then, he pointed to four straight lines extending from the square, noticeably wider than the other alleyways: “With this central square as the origin, we will first expand into four main streets, each leading to one of the four main directions of the territory. Important buildings in the future, such as government offices, warehouses, and even the public bathhouses we plan to build, can be constructed along these main streets, which will be both impressive and easy to manage.”

As Wilstone listened to Kruse's explanation, his gaze followed the four main arteries that ran through the blueprints like arteries, and his mouth unconsciously opened slightly.

According to this young master's grand vision, even this preliminary framework is enough to expand the existing Lion Tooth Town to a whole new size!

This goes far beyond simple repairs or partial renovations; it is clearly a complete and disruptive urban redevelopment plan!

He could almost see how the lines on the blueprint before him would gradually transform into stone streets, neat houses, and bustling squares in the future.

While the vision was certainly exciting, the human, material, and financial resources required, as well as the potential obstacles, made Wilstone feel dizzy.
