Chapter 190 - 29: Whiteclaw Beastman Clan; Return to the Green Dragon’s Nest; The Forming Giant Dragon Army
Here’s the translation of the text you provided:
Nowadays, the currency in Monster City has gradually aligned with the human world three years ago.
The adopted currency system includes: Copper Coins, Silver Coins, Gold Coins, and Purple Gold Coins.
Monsters exchange the magic cores, pelts obtained from hunting, as well as magic ore and elemental crystals mined in the wild, at currency exchange centers to obtain the above four types of currency.
These four currencies remain firm in human world because, after being refined by magic or instruments, one can obtain precious materials such as copper essence, silver essence, gold essence, which are excellent materials for creating magic wands and enchanted weapons.
Because of this tangible value, they circulate firmly among humans, elves, monsters, and many intelligent races, which is one of the reasons why Giant Dragons collect them.
Giant Dragons do not collect worthless items as treasures.
....
With the passage of time, the population of Monster City increased daily, and the once empty city began to gain a touch of vitality.
As the organizer and builder of Monster City, Wilson purchased numerous shops at low internal prices.
Soon, these shops opened and began to stock various items.
Charm Shop, Weapon Shop, Enchantment Shop, Tavern, Casino, Material Shop.
But just opening shops cannot form a closed loop. Because many of these items must be specially shipped into Monster City from the outside, the cost of manpower, material resources, and time is too high.
However, Wilson had long prepared for today.
He migrated 100,000 humans from the southern wasteland governed by the Higlind family to the Dragon Nest.
If this decision were made suddenly now, the 1,000 kilometers of Dark Forest would be a path of death, and it’s unknown if even 10,000 ordinary people would reach it.
However, as mentioned before, Wilson had long prepared for today!
From three years ago, he led half of the Higlind family’s forces, collaborating with the monster warriors in Black Blood Valley (a faction of Dragon Nest), migrating the population bit by bit. Each time, not many people, with the protection of magic, resulting in minimal losses.
So, three years later, the human population in Dragon Nest reached ten thousand. This is one-sixth of the population governed by the Higlind family, and most are young and strong.
For this reason, many elders in the Higlind family began to complain about Wilson’s methods, but under Wilson’s tough attitude, those elders and clan members were powerless to resist and could only grumble.
A large number of humans entered Dragon Nest, developing several towns in a corner of the Dragon Nest, where those ten thousand humans worked within the towns, producing various daily necessities to supply the needs of Monster City and the entire Dragon Nest.
Producing daily necessities requires many raw materials; some materials are found in Dark Forest, so they can be gathered locally.
But what about those not available?
Wilson also made preparations in advance. For those lacking materials, such as wheat for brewing beer, he announced the acquisition of wheat in Dragon Nest three years ago. Now, after three years, most Dragon Nest residents plant some wheat and other products to exchange for money... Plus, the 100,000 humans brought by Wilson also developed many farmland near the towns. While raw materials aren’t abundant, they are enough to deal with the current consumption that’s not fully opened in Dragon Nest.
"Haha, after investing so much, it’s finally starting to pay off."
In Monster City, inside a luxurious castle, Wilson was holding a banquet with his entourage, joyfully drinking and eating.
"All thanks to the young master’s foresight." Someone flattered.
"Harry still plans to compete with you for the position of patriarch, how ridiculous." Someone sneered.
"Although we are thriving now, we must remain vigilant; let’s continue working hard together in the future," Wilson raised his silver cup filled with amber liquid, his expression rather spirited.
Just as they were joyfully drinking and laughing, a confidant walked in from outside and handed Wilson a magic letter.
Wilson, his face slightly flushed, opened the magic letter, and upon seeing the contents, his eyes sharpened, sobering up.
The confidants around, who were loudly cheering, stopped and turned their gaze to Wilson.
Wilson took a deep breath and spoke about the letter’s contents,
"That guy Harry has broken through to advanced level."
Upon hearing this news, everyone present was shocked, but soon found it reasonable.
More than three years ago, Young Master Harry was already a Level 9 Peak Warrior; now, more than three years later, breaking through to advanced level is indeed normal.
"If it’s merely this, it wouldn’t be enough to make the young master show such a serious expression, right? Young Master Harry is now fifty-one years old. Even breaking through to advanced level is just so-so. Young master you’re only twenty-nine and have already achieved Level 12, far exceeding Harry’s talent."
The speaker was a strategist under Wilson’s command, a cousin who sought refuge from the Higlind family, a Level 10 Ranger in his thirties named Gli.
The Dragon Nest’s power now is far from what it used to be, with only a few high-level forces.
After ten years of rapid development, those with decent aptitude or strength basis, under the blessing of the Dragon King’s bloodline, breaking through to Level 10 is not difficult.
Take the Higlind family; the family already had some Mid-level Professionals, and from subjugating to the Dragon King until now, over seven or eight years, advanced combat strength has gone from the initial patriarch Roy, to later Wilson, then Wit, Gli, and some elders in the family; now Harry also broke through, totaling eight advanced combat forces.
