Another World Mall-Chapter 667: Kanaria’s Options
Clovis and Hana finally returned to the mansion together.
"So… we'll create our base here," explained Clovis. He turned to Kanaria. "You will be the one choosing the fallen city. Find the tower that fits all of our criteria."
Kanaria nodded. "Yep. I'll make sure that the tower level itself is high enough for our group to level up. In addition, it should be strategic and allow us to create a small empire there."
"Yeah. Since this is related to your goal, keep in mind the rebuilding of that fallen city." Clovis pointed at Hana. "For the time being, I have some funds you can use, but if it's not enough, ask her."
"Heh." Hana smirked. Although she didn't know precisely about the Another World Mall, she had figured out how it worked. The reason Clovis wanted money without any apparent sign of buying a lot of things meant that secret just tried to circulate money around.
Hana nodded. "Just tell me. I will transfer the money to your group's account. If you need a connection within the country, leave it to me. I've plenty of connections, especially for materials to rebuild a city. Still, this is not going to be easy. Do you have a plan or something?"
Kanaria shook her head. "To rebuild a city, we have to kill the beasts inside it first, before taking control of the tower. Of course, this also means we have to set up another camp to take down the beasts in the underworld.
"That means it's probably better to set up the camp both on the surface and in the underworld.
"Then, it's to create the World Lift. The elevator is the most crucial. And I doubt that our group can do all that easily. It requires a lot of people not only to protect it but also to construct it.
"Once we're done with the World Lift, we can begin to rebuild the base underground. Once the underground base can function perfectly, there won't be any more threats of the beasts from within, which allows us to finally set up the city on the surface.
"This is basically the grand map to rebuild the city. However, it's easier said than done. The concrete plan itself, like where to gather the resources and how to develop the city to be able to sustain itself… is something I haven't thought about yet." Kanaria sighed.
"That's good enough for me." Hana nodded. "Besides, by establishing the city, we can get an unimaginable amount of money. It's just that the early investment will be quite insane. I don't think I can do it by myself. Should I pull in some investors? Or…"
Hana smiled coquettishly at Clovis.
"…" Clovis glanced at her, knowing that she wanted to have the items from Another World Mall.
Clovis let out a long sigh. "Maybe after I reach Tier 5. For now, the funds required to do the early development are not that high yet, right? Besides, you can still develop the Soul Weapon first."
"Hehehehe. Alright. Leave the money problem to me." Hana pumped her chest proudly.
Clovis asked, "Do you have any problems with the current course of our group?"
"Not really." Christina shook her head. "Besides, it's a good thing to have a base. It can speed up our progress. However, after listening to my grandfather, you probably need a lot of people to protect this place. What are you going to do with it? Our group is a small elite group, so we don't have enough numbers to protect the place."
"I know." Clovis thought for a moment. "There are ways, but… I'm not entirely sure about it."
Jay squinted his eyes as though he had figured it out. "Our families?"
"Oh? That's clever." Aileen nodded in agreement. "Our families are quite big and established in Absalom. On the one hand, if all are moving right away, it will hurt the foundation. And I don't think asking them to leave the country will be easy.
"Hence, they will probably send some explorers to us to help. I don't know if they will eventually come here or not."
Hana nodded. "If you need some additional force, I can use my OpenSky Company's people as well. I will just establish another headquarters in this new city. And since we will be sealing this fallen city, we will be able to monopolize the beasts for a while, which is something that people love. It's annoying to share your hunting ground with others after all.
"And all those beasts can be translated to money." Hana basically supported the idea, considering it would make money. "If it's not enough, I can still ask my grandfather to help as well."
"Well, that can wait. For now, we need to know the danger level of that city and the kind of beings we need to deal with." Clovis turned to Kanaria. "Have you found out which tower you would like to get?"
"Hmm…" Kanaria crossed her arms. "Actually, when you told us about the chance of setting up the base here, I started researching the tower in this country.
"There are 9 towers with dead cities. 4 out of 9 are quite strategic. One of them is near the border, the second is not far from the province with the highest level of trading, the third is quite close to everywhere, and the last one was used as a resort in the past."

"Oh. The first one is the closest to my home, huh?" Christina raised her eyebrows, feeling amused.
Clovis squinted his eyes. "That's only the strategic position. I can understand why they're strategic, but is there anything suitable for us?"
"That's the problem. I don't have enough information about it. Right now, I'm thinking about a fallen city with a danger level of six, which means there are Tier 6 beasts plaguing that city. With that danger level, there should be some Tier 8 beasts around in the underworld.
"However, considering our group's goal, I'm thinking about choosing a fallen city with a danger level of seven. It might not have Tier 9, but it should have more Tier 8 beasts around. Still, we're quite weak right now, so this place is going to be dangerous.
"In addition, it's quite hard to help the normal people as well, considering the average tier of this country is 4.81. It's higher than Axolonia, which is 4.11, but a danger level of 7 is still quite too high for the country. We're not like those superpower countries with an average tier of 5.5 or above. So… I'm not sure what to choose yet."
