Technology: 63!
With Fathila joining the territory alone, the prosperity of the territory's technology had increased by a full 56 points!
And the overall prosperity of the territory had also increased to 48 points!
Damn, that was too strong. Just one person had increased the prosperity by so much!
Furthermore, Chen Mo also believed that Fathila's current increase in Prosperity Points was not the limit. The current Catrin's Prosperity Points were too low, and the most basic technical equipment was not present. The power that Fathila could unleash was limited.
As Katrin developed and prospered, when the construction of the territory was complete and all kinds of equipment were complete, Fathila's prosperity would definitely increase.
Even if an NPC like Fathila was not a legendary NPC in the game, she was still a rare NPC. With more NPCs like her living in the territory, it would definitely bring about positive development for the territory.
And among the NPCs that Chen Mo knew, Serena, who had taught him Blood Refining, was also a technical talent.
Serena was ostracized by the City of Shadows. He had to find time to visit Serena and see if he could invite Serena over.
That way, for a long time, the territory would not need to worry about the prosperity of the technology attribute.
"Alright.
From today onwards, you will be the technical consultant of this territory. I am still not familiar with the development of the territory. I will need a few more days before I can help you hire a guard. It's better if you don't show your face for the time being. No one can barge in here without my permission. "
After Chen Mo became the lord, the entire Katrin belonged to Chen Mo. For the time being, Chen Mo did not have the authority to deal with the houses that were occupied by NPCs. However, the houses that were unoccupied were all under Chen Mo's management. Without his permission, no one was allowed to enter.
Especially here, after Chen Mo had divided it into the Lord's Hall, only the relevant administrative personnel could enter. As long as Fathila did not go out, she would not be in danger.
"No problem, I have books to read to pass the time."
Of course, Fatila did not have any objections. In the underground laboratory, she could hide down there and live for four consecutive years. Even though she longed to go out and play openly, it was not difficult for her to curb this desire.
After Fathila left, Chen Mo walked around the Lord's mansion and wrote a letter. He asked the NPC to send it to Enoch in the Novice Village.
Back then, Chen Mo had promised Enoch that after he took over Katrin's territory, he would let her come back to look for a few things that her father had left behind. In this mansion, there were some valuable places that Chen Mo, as the lord, did not have the right to open. Chen Mo knew that he had to call Enoch back.
If he wanted to return to the Novice Village, he had to first report to the three Novice Main Cities and wait for approval before he could use the Teleportation Portal to return.
This process was very troublesome. If the reason was not sufficient, it might even be rejected. Chen Mo simply wrote a letter to Enoch and asked her to come back alone.
Players writing letters to NPCs was no longer a secret in the game. However, NPCs would not accept just anyone's letter. NPCs would reject all letters written by people they did not know, which meant that they did not have enough Favorability or were not related to the quest. Moreover, the Favorability would drop if they were not careful. If they wrote letters continuously and disturbed NPCs, the Favorability would definitely drop.
"I've settled the matter for you. I have to return to the family, otherwise, people will be suspicious."
You Ji had been waiting for Chen Mo's return in the Lord's Hall. She had a devil contract with Chen Mo. Although she was not a resident of the territory, she could freely enter and leave the Lord's mansion.
"No, wait a few more days. I still have one more thing that I need your help with!"
However, Chen Mo did not want to let You Ji leave just like that.
"What is it? There's not much that I can help you with. Previously, I said that I would only help you take over Katrin's territory!" You Ji frowned in dissatisfaction.
"No, before that, I remember telling you to help me deal with Joanna." Chen Mo shook his head and brought up another matter.
"Deal with Joanna?
No!
Joanna is the Castellan of a Basic Main City. Even if she's not far from here, I can't do anything. If someone finds out, I won't be able to explain it clearly. Your relationship with me will definitely be exposed! "
You Ji rejected without even thinking about it.
"Don't worry, I won't let you go to Eastsea Metropolis to deal with her.
She'll come to me soon! "
Chen Mo looked at the God's Blessing Stone in his bag and laughed sinisterly.
While sending the letter to Enoch, Chen Mo also contacted Xue Yehua, who was still in Eastsea Metropolis. He asked Xue Yehua to tell Joanna that he was in Katrin's territory and had become the Lord.
Joanna had left a magic mark on him. She must have sensed that he had obtained the God's Blessing Stone. For the God's Blessing Stone, Joanna would definitely come to him. The God's Blessing Stone was too attractive to Lords and Castellans.
Especially after knowing the importance of a territory and the prosperity of a city, Chen Mo knew that Joanna would definitely come to him.
Once he obtained the God's Blessing Stone, Eastsea Metropolis would definitely become the most prosperous Main City among the three Novice Main Cities!
"Okay, but I'll wait at most three days. If she doesn't come in three days, I'll have to leave."
Chen Mo nodded in agreement. A woman like Joanna would not wait for too long if she knew that he was here. After all, once he established his territory, Joanna would not have the chance to make a move. Now that he had just taken over the territory, everything was still in the beginning. It was the best time to make a move. Joanna would not miss it.
Of course, if Joanna did not come in three days, Chen Mo would not let You Ji leave just like that. This time, he had to deal with Joanna no matter what. Otherwise, who knew when this woman would come looking for trouble with him? He would not be able to develop his territory quietly even if he wanted to.
After arranging all these things, Chen Mo was not in a hurry to go out and level up. He was in the Lord's Mansion, carefully studying how to develop the territory.
Since he planned to develop the territory to its final form, this knowledge was indispensable.
"Simply put, it's to build advanced buildings, strengthen security, and improve technology.
After these three things were done, it would be easy to attract NPCs to live in the territory. This way, the population would not be a problem, and the economic transactions would also increase.
However, it is not enough to just focus on the NPCs. I have to take care of the players as well.
In terms of population, the NPCs will definitely take up a lot of the population. However, in terms of economy, the NPC's level of autonomy is very low. If a territory is full of NPCs, no matter how many people there are, the economy will not improve. If I want to increase the economic prosperity, I still have to rely on the players. "
After all, he was a modern person. Even if he had not eaten birds, he had seen birds fly. After studying for a few hours, Chen Mo had a general understanding of how to develop the territory.
"Catelyn's situation is special. The most important thing now is to improve security. Not only to attract the NPCs back, but also to attract the players.
To improve security, I have to hire guards, and naturally, I have to spend gold coins.
Now, Catelyn's income is only 100 gold coins per month. This income is probably not even enough to pay for the guards.
If I want to increase the income of the territory, I have to have a large number of players enter the territory and buy items from the shops in the territory. "
Now, Catelyn's financial income came from taxes. The amount of gold coins traded between the NPCs was pitifully low. If he wanted to increase the income, he could only rely on the large amount of transactions between the players.
Chen Mo was also thinking of other ways to increase the income. The most direct way was to let Fatira make some potions with special effects and sell them directly.
"Sounds so troublesome."
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Mo felt a little dizzy. He could not help but sigh.
If only there was someone he could completely trust to help him manage the territory. Unfortunately, such a person was difficult to find even if he had a lantern.
The security of the territory was a big problem. Chen Mo had to solve it as soon as possible. However, to reduce Joanna's worries, Chen Mo did not make any major changes to the territory for the time being.
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
While Chen Mo was still wondering if Joanna would come, on the night of the third day, Chen Mo was reading in the backyard of the mansion, swinging his legs as he did two days ago. Suddenly, a figure wearing a black cloak appeared beside him.
"Who is it!" Chen Mo shouted.
"Hehe, little guy, you have some skills."
The figure took off the hood of her cloak, and a beautiful woman with a smile appeared. It was Joanna.
"What are you planning to do here?" Chen Mo looked at Joanna with a vigilant face.
"You promised me that you would help me find a stone in the Quicksand Rift Valley. I sensed that you found the stone long ago. Now, I'm here to take it back." Joanna smiled faintly.
"You sensed wrong." Chen Mo quickly said.
"You don't want to admit it?
It's okay, I'll take you back to the East Sea Metropolis and slowly ask. "Joanna smiled.
"I'm now the Lord of Katrin. You dare to attack me?" Chen Mo shouted.
"I'm not attacking you. I'm inviting you to the East Sea Metropolis for tea.
Hand over the God's Stone, or I won't be polite. "Joanna threatened.
"Hehe, ugly woman, you really think you have me?"
Seeing that Joanna could not help but threaten him, Chen Mo laughed.
"Yes!
I'll show you the difference between us! "Joanna did not waste any more time. She moved and pounced on Chen Mo.
However, a figure suddenly appeared from the shadows behind Chen Mo. With a speed even faster than Joanna's, he fiercely rushed over and blocked Joanna's attack.
"Who are you?"
Joanna could not help but ask angrily when she saw that her attack was easily blocked by the other party who was also wearing a black cloak.
She clearly felt that she was not as strong as the other party!
"Don't talk nonsense with her. Capture her first!"
Chen Mo shouted at You Ji.
You Ji did not want to be recognized or remembered by Joanna. She also did not want to communicate with Joanna. She only wanted to quickly take Joanna down and then leave to return to the Jewel family.
Therefore, You Ji did not test the waters. Instead, she attacked with all her might.
When You Ji attacked with all her might, her combat power was very strong. Although Joanna was also a Castellan, her combat power was still weaker than You Ji's.
The battle had only started for a few seconds, but Joanna was already at a disadvantage. She was being suppressed by You Ji.
…
The second time was even worse.
