==============
As night falls, the City of Hope plunges into silence. In his moments of leisure, Alexander feels a sense of emptiness within.
Without Laura's help, the City of Hope would never have become the number one city in the Centaur Galaxy, nor would Alexander possess his current immense potential.
He can't help but reminisce about the wonderful times spent with Laura. She was so gentle and considerate.
While Alexander ponders how to quickly level up to 1000, a boy with dark circles under his eyes, looking weak, approaches.
"Turkey, how are you? Are you feeling better now? How long will it take for your injuries to heal?" Alexander asks with concern.
"Thanks to the Sea of Life, my external wounds have already healed. The Hellish storm we encountered was truly terrifying. I've suffered internal damage and estimate it'll take about a hundred days to recover," Turkey replies. "During this time, my strength will be just one ten-thousandth of its normal state, so we need to keep a low profile."
"You're right," Alexander sighs. "We were lucky this time, having you confront the Hellish thunderstorm with your body. Otherwise, the Eternal Holy Tower couldn't have been completed. You are a hero of the City of Hope!"
"It's my duty, and I've learned a lot in the process of battling the Hellish thunderstorm!" Turkey exclaims excitedly.
Due to the confrontation with the Hellish thunderstorm, Turkey formed a unique connection with the Eternal Holy Tower.
With the Tower's help, the curse that had accumulated in Turkey's body for ten thousand years was completely purified. This gives him hope of returning to his peak condition.
If he can return to his peak, his strength will increase substantially. Although he's no match for Laura, he might be able to contend with Selena, not as easily subdued as before.
Alexander, aware of Turkey's potential to return to his peak, genuinely rejoices for him.
To reward Turkey's bravery, Alexander prepared a lavish feast for him, featuring delicious roasted venison, succulent and crispy roasted wild boar, crunchy fried stonefish, and spicy and appetizing crocodile meat skewers.
As Turkey savored the food, he said, "This is truly delicious. I must take you to the stormnest nation someday. There, you will definitely conquer everyone's taste buds!"
While Turkey was enjoying his meal, a guard approached and said, "My lord, two workers wish to see you."
"Want to see me? Alright, let them in," Alexander replied, then signaled Turkey to continue enjoying his feast.
Soon, a few workers dressed in coarse clothing and covered in dust walked in. Their faces were tanned, their hands calloused, yet their eyes were filled with determination and sincerity.
"My lord, my name is Fernand. This is Bruno, standing next to me. We represent the Workers' Association and have some matters to report to you," Fernand said.
"Go ahead, speak your mind," Alexander responded.
Bruno quickly said, "My lord, the City of Hope is a magnificent city. Its vastness surpasses everyone's imagination. Reconstructing such a super city is a massive project, and we have less than ten thousand workers. The progress is too slow!"
"You're right, the City of Hope is currently short-staffed. Indeed, it's a challenge," Alexander acknowledged.
"My lord, don't you possess a skill called 'Soul Summoning'? Could you revive some workers to alleviate our workload?" asked Bruno.
Alexander immediately agreed: "No problem, I have now mastered Intermediate Soul Summoning and can revive some mid-level workers."
"That's great! We'll wait for your good news," Bruno responded. "There's another issue, on behalf of Thomas, can you now revive his father?"
Alexander looked troubled and said, "It's not that I don't want to help. In fact, my ability is limited. My Soul Summoning is at an intermediate level. There are some people I still can't revive."
"Oh, I see," Bruno replied.
"But don't worry. I will enhance my abilities as soon as possible. Once I'm capable, I will immediately revive his father."
"Thank you, my lord!"
Hearing Alexander's response, hope once again filled the faces of Bruno and Fernand.
"Do you have any other issues?" Seeing that they were not leaving, Alexander couldn't help but ask.
"My lord, we are also lacking some basic resources," Fernand stepped forward and said to Alexander. "Although the City of Hope has many top-tier resources, the construction of the city also requires some basic materials. For instance, we have a significant shortage of sand and iron ore."
"How much of each do we need?" Alexander inquired.
"About a million units of each, at the very least. That's a conservative estimate. The actual demand is far greater," Bruno thought for a moment and replied.
A million units, and that's just a conservative estimate.
Alexander immediately thought of the "Dimensional Store," where he could exchange some of his temporarily idle high-level resources for basic ones.
This was undoubtedly a shortcut to acquiring basic resources, but the amount required for this exchange was enormous, in the millions. Even the "Dimensional Store" might struggle to accumulate such a vast quantity.
More importantly, in the process of trading, Alexander would definitely become the focus of these people, and the existence of the City of Hope might be revealed.
Currently, the City of Hope is just a level 12 "small" city. Alexander didn't want to take any risks.
After much consideration, Alexander decided to temporarily abandon the idea of going to the "Dimensional Store," at least for now.
After discussing these two matters, Fernand and Bruno left.
Alexander fell into deep thought, pondering how to upgrade the level of "Soul Summoning."
Just then, Turkey finished all the food on the table. He rubbed his belly and let out a satisfied belch.
Turkey then said, "Master, I think I know how to continue improving the skill level of 'Soul Summoning'."
