"No problem!"
Chen Mo tactfully expressed his intentions to Fathila, and Fathila agreed without hesitation.
Although he was only inheriting a piece of territory, the procedures were not complicated. Chen Mo took out the contract from Enoch, and Fathila took out Sindley's seal to seal it. The handover was complete.
System Notification: Congratulations on becoming the Overlord of Caterine's territory!
System Notification: You have become the Overlord and received a reward of 5,000 gold coins!
When the territory's Prosperity Value reaches 100, you will receive the next stage of rewards!
The system notification sounded. Chen Mo officially inherited Caterine's territory and became the Overlord of Caterine as he wished.
However, looking at the system notification, Chen Mo was shocked. He could not believe his eyes.
After becoming the Overlord, the system had directly rewarded him with 5,000 gold coins!
5,000 gold coins!
If converted to Chinese currency, it was equivalent to 5,000,000 gold coins. It was like winning the lottery!
Moreover, from the system notification, this was only the first stage of rewards. As the territory continued to develop, there would be subsequent rewards.
"Prosperity Value 100 …"
Chen Mo quickly opened the attribute panel. On the attribute panel, there was a section dedicated to managing the territory.
Territory: Caterine (Can change the name once. A regional announcement will be issued. Please use caution)
Prosperity Value: 25
— — Population: 13
— — Security: 20
— — Economy: 8
— — Technology: 7
— — Construction: 20
— — Finance: 25
— — Construction Funds: 5,760 gold coins
— — Monthly Income: 100 gold coins
— — Monthly Expenditure: 5 gold coins
— — Resident List: …
— — Building Details: …
…
Chen Mo looked over and found that Caterine's Prosperity Value was only 25 points. It was pitifully low. Below the Prosperity Value were six attributes: Population, Security, Competition, Technology, Construction, and Finance. These six attributes determined the Prosperity Value of a territory.
Caterine had been neglected for many years, and all of its attributes were very low. However, Security was actually in the negative. It was so low that it made people feel ashamed.
Chen Mo did some calculations and found that although the six attributes had corresponding Prosperity Values, the overall Prosperity Value of the territory was not a simple addition.
The Prosperity Value of the six attributes added up to 53, but the actual Prosperity Value was only 25 points.
At the bottom of the territory management panel, Chen Mo found an explanation.
These six attributes determined the overall Prosperity of a territory. However, when the Prosperity of one of the attributes was too low, the overall Prosperity would be severely affected. This was especially true when Public Security was a negative value. Even if all the other Prosperity exceeded 100, the overall Prosperity of the territory would not reach 100.
Simply put, if he wanted to increase the prosperity of his territory, it would be best if the six attributes were balanced. If he increased the prosperity of each attribute, he would be able to increase his prosperity quickly.
The six attributes were also divided into many factors. For example, the population. The more NPCs there were, the higher the Prosperity. As long as the player population reached a certain value, before the Prosperity reached the next stage, no matter how many players there were in the territory, they would not be able to increase the Prosperity by much.
Apart from population, the other five attributes also had instructions on how to increase prosperity. Chen Mo had just become a Lord, so he only had a general understanding of it and did not delve into it.
It was a little complicated, so he needed to spend some time to understand it. Now was not the time.
However, Chen Mo looked at the territory construction funds and saw that there was an option to withdraw funds. He tried to withdraw the territory construction funds and found that he could withdraw all 5,760 gold coins!
Holy sh * t, the Katrin territory now had a monthly income of 100 gold coins and a monthly expenditure of 5 gold coins. In other words, after becoming the Katrin Lord, if he did not plan to develop the Katrin territory, he would have an income of close to 6,000 gold coins. In the future, he would have hundreds of gold coins in his pocket every month!
This time, when he came to take over Katrin's territory, not to mention other gains, just the gold coins alone had earned him more than 10,000 gold coins!
If it was converted to Chinese currency, he would be a millionaire. He had really become rich overnight!
If it was when he had just entered the game, Chen Mo might have really considered whether to convert all his gold coins to Chinese currency first. When the price of gold coins dropped, he would accept the gold coins to develop the territory.
However, he was now almost invincible in the real world. Although 10 million Chinese currency seemed like a lot, it was not that attractive to him.
Instead, developing the territory in the game was something that Chen Mo was very interested in.
In terms of technology, Chen Mo saw that there were branches of technology and magic. In addition, there were branches of various life skills of players. Chen Mo was very curious as to what the territory would be like in the end.
Of course, Chen Mo was not just curious. From the moment he took over the system, he was directly rewarded with 5,000 gold coins, 100 Prosperity Points, and the reward for the next stage. The alien civilization that built this virtual world placed great importance on the development of the territory town.
Catelyn already had 25 Prosperity Points in her current appearance. It shouldn't be difficult for her to reach 100 Prosperity Points in Chen Mo's opinion.
In other words, the reward for the next stage was not that difficult to obtain.
The reward for the next stage was not Chen Mo's goal. Chen Mo's goal was the final reward for developing the territory!
Chen Mo had a feeling that the reward for developing the territory to the final stage would be amazing!
This amazing reward did not refer to the virtual wealth in the game, but it might be related to the real world.
This alien civilization must have some kind of motive for coming all the way to Earth to play a game with them.
Earth's civilization was too backward, and they would not be interested in it. If they wanted to invade Earth, it would probably be a matter of moving their hands. From the previous incident, Chen Mo clearly understood that in the eyes of the alien civilization that built this game, Earth's civilization was just a baby that had just learned to walk. It had no military strength to speak of.
In the game of Genesis, there were three paths to development.
The first was the player's personal development. If the player could become super strong, they would definitely be able to come into contact with the true secrets of the game.
The second was the development of the guild. If the guild could develop to its final stage, it should also be able to come into contact with the core of the game.
The third was the development of the territory and town. Compared to the individual and guild, the rewards for developing the territory and town were much clearer.
Moreover, thinking about the large financial groups that were constantly buying gold coins, Chen Mo was now certain that they were buying gold coins to prepare for the development of the territory town!
These people would not do business at a loss. If they did this, it meant that developing the territory was very necessary. There might be great benefits waiting for them inside, which was why they were willing to invest so much money.
It should be known that now that the levels of the players were high, the amount of gold coins they produced every day was relatively large.
However, a large portion of the gold coins produced by the hundreds of millions of players in the Huaxia region fell into the hands of these financial groups. This showed how terrifying their investments were.
In terms of the guild, Chen Mo did not plan to do anything. It was too troublesome to set it up. However, Chen Mo planned to spend some time on personal development and territory development.
In general, the development of the territory should be more troublesome than the development of the guild. However, for the time being, Chen Mo only needed to invest gold coins and then move his fingers on the management panel to handle most of the matters. He did not need to be busy like the guild managing the members and carrying out guild missions. Chen Mo could completely manage his personal development while also managing the territory. However, the guild would take up a lot of his time.
"Fathila, what do you plan to do in the future?"
Chen Mo had just taken over Katrin's territory and had to deal with a lot of things. He knew that he could not rush things. However, Chen Mo was very concerned about Fathila.
Fathila's situation was very troublesome. Due to Sindley, her situation in Katrin was no longer a secret. Although the Hunters and Bloodbath Guild had failed, there was no guarantee that the NPC who issued the mission would not send people over again.
"Leave this place and find a more remote place to hide for a while."
Fathila said with a little reluctance. After today, she was afraid that she would have to start a journey of escape. As long as she did not die, those people would think of ways to find her. The Stone of Eternity was too attractive to some people.
"It's not a solution to keep hiding. You stay. I'll hire you as the technical consultant of the territory. This way, you'll have a public identity. Even if those people want to find you, they won't dare to do so openly.
I'll hire people to protect you. As long as you don't run to dangerous places, there won't be a problem in terms of safety.
This way, as long as you pass this most sensitive period, you'll be almost safe. "
Chen Mo said sincerely. Among the six attributes that determined the prosperity level, one of the factors that determined the prosperity level of technology was that residents with technology could effectively increase the value of the technology attribute.
Fathila was a person who had rare potions and even human technology. If she could join the territory and become a member of the territory, her technology attribute would definitely increase a lot!
"Let me think about it."
Fathila was very tempted. She was reluctant to leave this place. However, whether to join or not, after being imprisoned by Sindley for so many years, she had a shadow in her heart. She had to weigh the pros and cons.
"Don't worry, I won't restrict you in any way. If you want to leave, you can leave at any time." Chen Mo knew what Fathila was worried about, so he added.
"Okay, I'll stay." Fathila thought about it and agreed.
This world was very big, but there were not many places where people could live. The places she could escape to were very limited. If the two forces were big enough, she might not be able to run far enough before she was caught.
On the contrary, although there were some dangers in staying here, if she could withstand them, she would be able to live openly in the future.
For Fathila, who had been imprisoned for seven years, even after four years of freedom, she had lived sneakily like a mouse. An open and ordinary life was extremely attractive to her.
After becoming the lord, Chen Mo had the ability to appoint the officials of the territory. After getting Fathila's agreement, Chen Mo first added Fathila to the territory's residents, then appointed Fathila as the territory's technical consultant.
Then, Chen Mo looked at the value of the technology prosperity level and was shocked.
