Chapter 316
Cheng Dalei wasn't unfamiliar with this situation, given his years of experience playing video games. For example, in strategy games, one base can mine iron, another can mine copper. If you want to mine both, you had to set up sub-bases.
This came with benefits and drawbacks. The benefit was that owning more third-level bases meant access to a variety of goods. The drawback was that he couldn't buy gunpowder, which could greatly improve his power.
Should he also upgrade the Fallen Jade Fortress to level three?
Another potential scenario was that a level-3 mountain fortress could only buy goods of the same level, while a level-4 fortress could buy higher level goods.
Starting a level-3 base was already quite a challenge for Cheng Dalei. At present, he had no plans for starting a level-4 mountain fortress, not to mention he didn't even have the necessary conditions.
