Judging from the current situation, the Guild Headquarters could be upgraded again within a day after it was fully established. The upgrade speed was astonishing, leading Zhi Yue to guess that they could soon raise it to the highest level.

Besides, we had accumulated quite a lot of resources beforehand, so it will take a long time to upgrade the guild to the highest level—at the very least, until the later stages of the game," San Mei Shi said.

"That's right. Even if we aren't short on money now, we may not be able to sustain it.
