Once he paid the one hundred fifty gold coins fee, the upgrade system was activated. A notification was heard inside the restaurant that renovation would start in five minutes and would take two days to complete. 'Two days? So, higher upgrade requires a longer time to complete,' Jack pondered. Once the five minutes was up, the entire restaurant was covered by the same opaque cloth that appeared the last time he upgraded Amy's Bakery. Now, all he needed to do was wait. He gave some gold coins to Ellie for her to hire extra workers or for any other things that might be needed once the restaurant was done renovating, just in case if he was not available. He then took a rest in Amy's Bakery. The girl bombarded her with questions once he showed up. He had been absent for three weeks after all. Entertaining the girl, he told her about his adventure during the expedition. He omitted the part about the scary encounter with the God of Fear though, lest she would just worry about him. He told the girl and her mother, much to their joy, that he would upgrade the bakery tomorrow morning. He didn't do it immediately tonight as he wanted to spend a good night's rest in his room first. He also took the profit that had been saved up in the bakery since he went on the expedition. The total amount was forty-one gold coins. The next morning, he was admiring the two buildings side by side being covered by opaque cloth. His wallet had taken a deep dip, but he didn't mind. He believed the eventual return was worth these investments. Before he went out to do his survey around the bandit outpost again, he took the time going to the noble district. He visited the Magic Association shop and saw that the inflation had also affected this store. The Disruptive Bomb was now three gold coins each. He still had a number of the bombs in his storage so he did not buy any extra. He might need the coins for something else later. But he bought one Reset Potion which now cost five gold coins. He went to commander Quintus' tower afterward. An officer was manning the commander's desk. He reported his two kingdom faction's quests, Expedition to Temple of Divine Squall and Escorting Prince Alonzo. When he gave his Themisphere nobility faction badge for the officer to check, the officer frowned at him and asked, "where are the prince and the duke?" Uh-oh.
