“Have you encountered any issues so far, Livelywood?” Broken asked as the three of them walked together, monitoring the city’s progress.
“Yeah, we had some supply issues at the start, but Goldrich and RememberMe were a huge help sorting it all out. We should be able to stick to the original plan now,” Livelywood explained.
He added, “Once we finish renovating the 200 houses, we’ll move on to other buildings that will really help the city grow.”
“Livelywood, what do you think we should build after the housing is done?” Broken asked, though he already had backup plans in mind. He wanted to hear Livelywood’s perspective.
With enthusiasm, Livelywood responded, “I believe we should focus on building the Temple of Resurrection. It’s crucial for players planning to hunt in the western forests near Slumdon.” Broken nodded. “I agree. Setting the resurrection point here will give us something to be proud of.”
He suddenly remembered that he’d never changed his own resurrection point-it was still set to Deadbay City.
The three of them continued walking, discussing the future developments of the city in great detail, mapping out each step toward making Slumdon a hub for adventurers and residents alike.
[Congratulations, Broken! You have earned the title of “Slumdon Town’s Mayor of Progress!” Your hard work has paid off.]
[You have made great strides, and the future of Slumdon Town looks brighter than ever! Your efforts have been noticed, and your impressive leadership has brought the town closer to its full potential.]
[City development is heading in a good direction. Houses are being repaired, various professions have been recruited, the city’s progress is improving, the military is slowly strengthening, and solutions for food resources are emerging. All these factors are pushing Slumdon Town toward a thriving future.]
[Keep up the good work, and let’s make Slumdon Town a real success story!]
A flood of notifications appeared before Broken, and he muttered, “Woah, a new title? Interesting. I wonder what kind of reward comes with it?”
[For your achievements, you have unlocked the “Reputation Shop” and you receive 150 Reputation Points as an initial reward.]
“Reputation Shop?”
It certainly looked interesting, but he decided to hold off on exploring it until after his discussion with Livelywood was done. There would be plenty of time to dive into that later.
As Broken and Freya walked away from Livelywood, they kept their voices low, discussing various things as the day slipped into the afternoon.
“So, what else do you want to inspect, Mr. Mayor?”
“Actually, I just unlocked a new feature related to land management.”
“Oh really? Why’s that? Has the town’s rating improved?”
“The overall rating is now at an E. Well, it’s actually been at E for a while now-I just forgot the exact moment it happened.”
“That sounds intriguing. Why don’t you check it out and see how you can empty it out?” Freya teased with a giggle.
Broken chuckled. “According to the system, I can earn Reputation Points by completing objectives and achievements. So I guess it’ll take some work to really make use of it.”
Broken opened the new Reputation Shop feature, curious to see what it had to offer. As the interface loaded, several categories and items appeared, all available for purchase using Reputation Points.
He scanned through the different sections, noticing a wide range of items: from building materials that could speed up city development, as well as special enhancements for his town.

“Here, they sell various scrolls that are useful for upgrading units,” Broken said, his eyes scanning the list.
Freya’s eyes widened with excitement. “Wow, that’s incredible!” she exclaimed. “With those scrolls, you could create a super NPC-someone you can really rely on, maybe even your own Imperial Knight! They’d have the potential to gain new talents easily, right?”
“That does sound interesting,” Broken replied. “It’d be even better if I could use it on Ivana.
But it looks like only Slumdon residents can use these scrolls.”
“Then you just need to figure out a way to change Ivana’s residence status.”
“That could work.”
Freya leaned in, curious. “So, what else do they have?”
“A lot. Honestly, I have no idea how long it’s going to take me to clear out the entire Reputation Shop! There’s just so much to explore.”

“There’s also a Collectibles section, but it doesn’t seem particularly useful,” Broken continued. “And then there’s this map fragment that supposedly leads to valuable items, but the price is so low, it feels suspicious.”
Freya chuckled softly. “I bet items like that are just traps. But who knows? Once you’ve got plenty of Reputation Points, you could have some fun buying all those weird things.”
Broken smirked. “Look at this-Rare Flower Seed. I’m sure Yara would love it, but the price is ridiculous.” He sighed.
“You mentioned you got some flower seeds from Princess Alora, didn’t you?”
“Oh, right!” Broken grinned, realizing he had forgotten to give them to Yara. “I’ll check in on Yara and the others after this.”
[Entertainment]

“Well, I think there are a lot of items here that could be fun to use at a party,” Freya said with
a grin.
“Yeah, I guess so… fits with the Entertainment category.”
“But maybe the content in the shop will expand over time,” Freya added. “So, it might be
worth saving your points for something more valuable in the future.”
“Yeah, I think you’re right,” he nodded.
He continued browsing through the other categories, one of which caught his attention with a
name that sparked a bit of hope.
