Three days had passed since the deal with Nabi. Leo started the last-time preparation before heading out to the epigraph's location.
By last preparation, he meant upgrading the base and creating the Humvee. Unfortunately, steels and irons rose in price lately due to large Sects securing them in bulk. As a result, the advanced payment of 5,000 Golds wasn't enough to buy all materials.
They had to take money from their savings, depleting the Golds they had left. Of course, they didn't touch Astrid's liquidated asset at all. This would be used for future plans.
Anyway, spending Golds right now was worth it. The upgraded base, Armory room, and Humvee would improve their combat capability tremendously. They even had Infirmary upgraded to Level 2 from the rest of the materials.
