The first chest gave him a strange item, so Chen Mo proceeded to open the second chest.
System Notice: You have obtained 2,000 Gold Coins!
System Notice: You have obtained a One-way Teleportation Array Magic Scroll!
One-way Teleportation Array Magic Scroll: A special Magic Scroll containing the required Magic Runes to create a One-way Teleportation Array. You only need to prepare the required materials to create a simple One-way Teleportation Array.
As the manufacturing process has been simplified, the Teleportation Array will require a certain amount of time before it can be used again.
When Chen Mo saw the items inside the second chest, his spirits immediately rose.
The first chest was a scam, but the second chest did not disappoint him. It really did give him something good!
Teleportation Arrays were relatively rare in the game. Even cities like Scarlet Sand City and Moonlight City did not have Teleportation Arrays, let alone player territories.
According to Chen Mo's original expectations, if a player city wanted to build a Teleportation Array, the city's Prosperity Rate would need to reach an extremely high level.
Currently, Caterpillar City had only just begun to develop. It was still too early to build a Teleportation Array. However, now that he had this Teleportation Array Magic Scroll, he could build one in Caterpillar City.
Although the Teleportation Array he built was a one-way Teleportation Array with many restrictions, it was still better than nothing.
With the Teleportation Array Magic Scroll, he would not return empty-handed this time. Chen Mo was in a good mood as he walked towards the third Dark-Gold Treasure Chest.
System Notice: You have obtained 3,000 Gold Coins!
System Notice: You have obtained the Ability Tower's Advanced Trial Certificate!
Ability Tower's Advanced Trial Certificate: With this certificate, you can enter the Ability Tower's trial in the Asura Kingdom!
Ability Tower's Trial Certificate?
When Chen Mo saw this tool, he could not help but frown.
The previous two Dark-Gold Treasure Chests were worth roughly 10,000 Gold Coins. This Ability Tower's Advanced Trial Certificate was worth 7,000 Gold Coins.
This was just an entrance ticket, yet it was already worth 7000 gold coins?
"Ai Qinen, have you heard of the Ability Tower?"
Since there was a native of the Holy Continent beside him, Chen Mo decided to ask Ai Qinen.
"Ability Tower?
Of course, in the Holy Continent, everyone knew about the Ability Battle Tower.
The Ability Battle Tower is an ancient building unique to the Asura Kingdom. Once a martial artist enters the Ability Battle Tower, they can learn all sorts of powerful new abilities, allowing them to become even more powerful. "Ai Qinen quickly replied.
In other words, it was a place to learn skills.
"Then is it very hard to obtain an entry pass for the Ability Battle Tower?" Chen Mo asked again.
"It's not that difficult. Every month, the Asura Warring Kingdom will open up the Ability Battle Tower and allow a batch of martial artists to enter. Anyone with a certificate can enter."
"What about the advanced certificate?"
It wasn't hard to get an entry pass, but the one in his hand was a high-grade entry pass.
"Advanced admission ticket?
It's a very rare thing, and there are very few of them. It's said that if you have a high-grade entry pass, you'll be able to obtain a very rare ability in the Ability Battle Tower, and there are other benefits as well. However, I'm not sure about the specifics. "
Ai Qinen looked at Chen Mo enviously. She knew that Chen Mo would ask this because Chen Mo had obtained the Advanced Admission Certificate for the Ability Tower from the treasure chest.
"Very good.
Here's ten thousand gold coins. Let's go back. "
Hearing this, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. Although he felt that the Ability Battle Tower's advanced entry certificate wasn't worth the huge sum of several thousand gold coins, the advantage of this item was that with this certificate, he could enter the Ability Battle Tower in the Asura Kingdom and obtain a powerful skill that was suitable for him.
From this point of view, this Advanced Admission Certificate was quite good.
The three treasure chests gave a total of ten thousand gold coins. Chen Mo took all three items, but he didn't take the ten thousand gold coins. Instead, he gave it to Ai Qinen.
Ten thousand gold coins really wasn't much for a kingdom. Just think about the Gray Wing Kingdom, which could issue missions worth ten million gold coins. From this point of view, it was clear just how poor the Ai Qinen Kingdom was right now.
Ai Qinen silently took the ten thousand gold coins. So many soldiers had died, yet she only obtained this much money. This made her feel a burst of regret.
Following this, the two left the ancient tomb and returned to the Ai Qinen Kingdom's capital. After returning to the capital, under Chen Mo's instructions, Ai Qinen used a flying pigeon to order the soldiers attacking Katrin's territory to retreat.
Chen Mo wasn't worried that Katrin's territory would fall while he dealt with Ai Qinen. Before coming here, he had made sufficient preparations. In order to defend against the Ai Qinen Kingdom's attack, Chen Mo had Enoch add defensive magic arrays to the walls of Katrin's territory.
Players could also develop various defensive abilities within a territory's defensive system. However, doing so would cost a lot of Coins. This was especially true for low-leveled players. If they wanted to develop these defensive abilities, they'd have to spend tens of thousands of Coins.
Even so, with Katrin's territory's level, they could only develop the lowest-level defensive magic arrays after spending tens of thousands of Coins.
During the previous monster siege, Chen Mo hadn't considered developing defensive magic arrays at all.
On one hand, he had limited funds at that time. On the other hand, if the defensive puppets couldn't stop the monsters, spending money to develop defensive magic arrays would be pointless.
However, after arriving on the Holy Continent, he had earned 30,000 Coins from the Gray Wing Kingdom. With a surplus of money, he decided to develop defensive magic arrays.
In any case, he would have to develop defensive magic arrays in the future. Developing them now would only cost him a little more Coins.
Meanwhile, after developing defensive magic arrays, Katrin's walls would become even sturdier. In addition to the hundreds of defensive puppets, the Ai Qinen Kingdom's 500-odd soldiers would have no hope of breaching Katrin's territory within a day.
When Ai Qinen issued the order, the Ai Qinen Kingdom's soldiers were in a stalemate with Katrin. Under Enoch's attacks, some of the soldiers had already been injured.
Upon receiving the order, the Ai Qinen Kingdom's soldiers immediately retreated.
It wasn't that Ai Qinen's order was effective. Rather, these soldiers didn't want to fight at all. Avoiding a battle was the best outcome for them.
"It seems he's succeeded."
Seeing the soldiers retreat, Fatira and Enoch breathed a sigh of relief.
If the battle had continued for too long, Katrin would have been at a disadvantage.
Half a day later, Chen Mo rushed back from the Ai Qinen Kingdom's capital.
Before returning, he had already discussed with Ai Qinen how to deal with Katrin. In the end, on the surface, Katrin had submitted to the Ai Qinen Kingdom, as if it had been subdued by the Ai Qinen Kingdom. In name, it was an official city of the Ai Qinen Kingdom.
This way, Katrin's existence would be justified. As for the secret, Katrin's territory would naturally not be under the jurisdiction of the Ai Qinen Kingdom.
"Teleportation Array Creation Scroll!"
After returning to Katrin, Chen Mo took out the one-way teleportation array creation scroll. Fatira's eyes immediately lit up.
Fatira's thirst for knowledge was very strong. He was extremely curious about this unknown knowledge.
"It's a pity that this is a completed magic scroll. There's no mention of how to create a teleportation array."
Fatira said regretfully as he picked up the teleportation array creation scroll and took a look.
This magic scroll was a one-time consumable item. As long as the required materials were prepared, the teleportation array could be created immediately. Then, the scroll would be used up.
"Among the required materials, the others are not difficult to find. However, there are five Space Crystals. These are very rare items and are not easy to obtain."
Fatira said as he looked at the materials listed in the scroll.
"Don't worry, I have Space Crystals."
The teleportation array was related to space and required Space Crystals. Chen Mo did not find it strange. However, he could easily take out five Space Crystals.
That being said, he had obtained dozens of Space Crystals from the Warcraft Paradise. After using them continuously, there were only about thirty left.
If he took out five more to build a one-way teleportation array, the Space Crystals would be almost used up. He did not know where he could replenish them.
Before Chen Mo returned, he had already bought some of the materials needed to build the teleportation array from Ai Qinen. In addition to the Space Crystals he had, Chen Mo and Fatira went to the basement of the Lord's mansion and used the magic scroll.
Chen Mo crushed the magic scroll. A gray light appeared in the basement. A large amount of materials flew out from Chen Mo's backpack.
Under the guidance of the gray light, these materials quickly reorganized.
Clatter …
The materials that flew out were like building blocks. They overlapped and reorganized in a disorderly manner. Then, under the gray light of the magic, they merged on the ground.
In just a short while, under the watchful eyes of Chen Mo and Fathila, a grayish-white teleportation portal with a radius of only three meters appeared on the ground.
System Notification: The one-way teleportation array has been successfully established!
"How magical!"
Fatira, who was watching from the side, was stunned and said in surprise.
System Notification: Please log in as a usable member. This one-way teleportation array can be used by a total of six people. After logging in, you will receive the teleportation skill to return to this teleportation array.
Please use caution when logging in. Once successfully logged in, it cannot be modified.
It was indeed a simplified miniature teleportation array. It could only be used by six people, but it was enough. He had built the teleportation array here because he did not want too many people to use it.
And even if he wanted too many people to use it, it was impossible. From the beginning, the scroll had clearly stated that there were many restrictions on the use of the teleportation array.
Chen Mo, of course, logged in his name first. He found that if he wanted to log in to the list of users of the teleportation array, he had to stand on the teleportation array and log in with his name. Only then would it be considered officially logged in. Simply filling in the name was not enough.
Chen Mo had wanted to log in You Ji's name remotely, but now it seemed impossible.
Fathila and Enoch almost never left Katrin. There was a limit to the number of places they could use, so Chen Mo did not plan to log them in. The first person he wanted to log in was You Ji, but he could only give up after realizing that it would not work.
You Ji could not, but what about Big Fat?
Chen Mo then thought of Big Fat. Big Fat was not a guy who could stand loneliness. Sometimes, he would run far away. If he could log in Big Fat, Big Fat's safety would be guaranteed.
Chen Mo immediately found Big Fat and let Big Fat stand in the teleportation array. Then, he filled in Big Fat's name.
System Notification: User has successfully logged in!
The System Notification appeared. Chen Mo found that Big Fat could indeed be used.
Big Fat was a little confused at first, but when it found that it had an additional skill, it immediately became happy.
Then, it ran a few steps away. With a whoosh, it appeared in the teleportation array. Then, it laughed foolishly at Chen Mo.
F * ck!
This guy!
Chen Mo was a little speechless. However, because of Big Fat's experiment, Chen Mo found another limitation of the one-way teleportation array.
This one-way teleportation array could only be used once a day. Moreover, the teleportation array only had enough energy to be used six times. If six people were to teleport back on the same day, the teleportation array would need six days to fully recover.
However, if only one or two people were to use it, the teleportation array's energy was still enough.
Now that the teleportation array was built, if he wanted to return to Katrin in the future, he would not need to constantly run. He also would not need to consume a large amount of energy from the Seed of Hope.
However, Chen Mo estimated that if the distance was too far, it would be difficult to teleport back. After all, this was only a small teleportation array.
Now that the teleportation array was settled, Chen Mo had two plans. The first was to find You Ji. The second was to go to the Asura Kingdom and enter the Ability Battle Tower to become stronger.
Chen Mo made a decision after weighing the pros and cons of what to do first.
He decided to go to the Asura Kingdom first. After coming out of the Ability Battle Tower, he would go find You Ji.
…
The first step was even more.
