I Can Get 1,000,000x Returns from Selling Anything!-Chapter 60 --Polaris Promoted to Main City
It was the 1 million-strong army he had just recruited, arriving in waves through the portal.
At the front were the dozens of high-ranking officers he had hired.
Leading them was a burly middle-aged man, square-jawed, thick brows and large eyes, clad in exquisite armor.
[Chief Strategic Officer Hudson (LV220 · epic-grade)]
He led his group to Daniel and dropped to one knee.
"Your Grace, the Duke!"
"Hudson reporting with his unit!"
Behind him, hundreds of thousands of Imperial warriors also knelt on one knee.
"Hail, Your Grace, the Duke!"
The voices thundered across the plaza, full of unstoppable momentum.
This scene caused countless players running tasks in the square to freeze in shock.
Was Faustus already this powerful?
Epic-grade NPCs are all his subordinates?!
Holy shit!
Most players didn’t even have the right to speak to epic-grade NPCs...
Daniel nodded in satisfaction as he looked over his officers and soldiers.
"Rise."
He turned to Hudson.
"From now on, you’re in charge of Polaris City’s defenses and troop training."
"In one month, I want to see a fighting-ready army."
Hudson and the others nodded solemnly.
"As you command!"
The army marched into the city and began setting up camp.
Polaris City was rapidly expanding, with city planning so large it was almost absurd—there was plenty of land to use.
Governor Roland hurried over, a look of delight on his face.
"Your Grace, the Duke, you’ve returned!"
"What’s the matter?"
"Polaris City’s urban prosperity, army strength, economic development—all have skyrocketed. It’s already taking shape as a strong city!"
"All of this is thanks to your brilliant leadership!"
Daniel’s eyes lit up. He opened the territory panel.

Daniel raised an eyebrow. He hadn’t expected the city to meet the promotion requirements so quickly.
"Confirm."
In the next moment, golden light burst from Lord’s Manor, instantly enveloping the entire city.
Boom—!
The ground shook.
The city walls automatically rose and thickened.
Streets widened, paved with smooth stone slabs.
Buildings upgraded, becoming more grandiose.
A massive magical barrier rose from Lord’s Manor, covering the entire city.
[Ding! Polaris City has been successfully promoted to "Mid-tier City"!]

Daniel nodded in satisfaction.

His eyes lit up as he collected everything.
He then looked at the territory panel again.
[Polaris City (First-rank City)]
[Conditions for Main City Promotion: All met]
[Promotion Cost: 10 billion gold coin]
He continued the promotion.
Boom—!
The entire city trembled.
This time, the golden light was brighter than the previous two combined.
Walls rose from 30 meters to 50 meters, forged from silver-grade metal and stone.
Streets automatically widened to eight lanes, paved with magical stone bricks.
All buildings upgraded; wooden structures completely disappeared, replaced by stone and metal constructions.
A third protective barrier rose from Lord’s Manor, stacking with the previous two, forming three layers of protection.
At the city center, a massive portal was automatically generated, connecting the nine main cities.
At the city gate, a huge stone monument emerged from the ground, engraved in gold letters:
Polaris!

[Polaris City officially becomes the 10th Main City of the Human Race!]
[This achievement has been recorded in the Stellar Chronicles, immortalized forever.]
World Channel erupted:
"Wait, can we even play this game anymore???"
"Main City??? Polaris City???"
"Wasn’t that the small frontier city Faustus bought? How did it become a Main City?!"
"How long has it been since Faustus bought it? And it’s already a Main City?!"
"I haven’t even become a Baron, and he’s not only a Duke but owns a Main City..."
"Nine Main Cities became ten?!"
"No way... there are now ten Main Cities for humans!"
"Holy shit! Invincible!"
"Faustus, the eternal God!"
...
Daniel closed the World Channel and looked at the city, now completely transformed.
Three months ago, it had been a dilapidated frontier town.
Now, it had become the 10th Main City.
Walls soared fifty meters high, engraved with defensive runes.
Several special buildings stood in the city, each radiating unique light.
On the skyline, the golden glow of Sanctuary Garden, the silver light of Temple of Eternal Prosperity, and the red glow of Eternal Core Furnace intertwined.
Wide streets were bustling with people; shops lined every corner, vibrant and lively.
Outside, the 1 million-strong army trained, their shouts shaking the air.
He had created an entirely new Chapter in Stellar’s history.
Taking a deep breath, he entered Lord’s Manor and placed the Heart of the Main City at the core.
A soft light instantly enveloped the city.
