Althea didn’t check her stats every day, especially since she was distracted with her new projects again. However, the last time she checked several days ago, the territory should still have had some ways to go before an upgrade. Because there was nothing that seemed significant, she didn’t feel the need to check again.

According to Jonathan’s father’s notes, the requirement to upgrade from Level 1 to a Level 2 Town was to have at least fifty thousand population—thirty thousand of which were citizens—as well as three thousand prestige points. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

When she checked about three or so days ago, there were still a few hundred points left (a little over two hundred, if she wasn’t mistaken).

This was the point after the spike due to reunification and taking over two new towns. Those were extremely big moves that wouldn’t be matched in a while, if ever, so she believed that the next spike of prestige wouldn’t happen in a long time.

Unexpectedly...

Huh... when did prestige get so high?

She did not remember doing anything to the level of occupying yet another town or two.

Later, she’d be enlightened by this after she got a team of sociologists to study the events.

A few events had been happening since the war between the two towns, and quite a few of them had spread word about Alterra, bit by bit, mostly by word of mouth.

And a few days ago—it exploded.

Interestingly, it was because of a few events that happened simultaneously.

This situation of one territory having a wide influence was not exactly unheard of, but this only happened with powerful cities.

After all, cities wouldn’t be able to become cities at all without enough influence. Otherwise, there would always be several territories that’d stand on their own, possibly with a different master.

The mysterious Alterra was also the source of a great number of products, apparently managing to bring in many innovations from their previous world to Xeno, the scale of which was completely unprecedented!

And... perhaps more importantly, it was also a region with hundreds of thousands of elementalists!! And this was a conservative estimate.

Any of these alone could make a territory pause and look and feel worried.

When this came to light, these people hurriedly sent more posts, warning their places, allies, and subsidiaries of this new Town!

Some had tones of curiosity and hoped to explore, but many had the tone of doom, as if they were an evil town that was just looking for ways to get its claws into various other places.

Added to this was Alterra’s own influence with its products, services, and ideology that had been spreading for a while, but with the defeat of the remaining powerhouses near their region, things just... burst out.

"Wife? What is it?"

Althea was pulled back to the present when she felt her husband’s cool hand on her forehead.

She blinked and looked around, realizing everyone was staring at her. This included the babies in their high chairs, staring at her with those large, beady eyes of theirs.

She then realized her awkward position while holding two spoons dripping with ice cream. She cleared her throat and put the spoons down, with her husband naturally wiping her hands with a tissue.

"I... well..., I just received a notification that we’re ready for an upgrade."
