For the past two days, Chen Mo had only helped the Blackflag Pirates to snatch more territory. He did not try to gather more talents.
However, with the addition of 100 Elven and Dwarven craftsmen, the talent problem was solved for the time being. Among the Elves and Dwarves, many of them were skilled in the skills of their subclasses.
Now that the craftsmen and talents were satisfied, the only thing left was the Sky Tree.
After more than two months of growth, the Sky Tree had entered a new stage of growth. This stage of growth was even more terrifying than when it had just sprouted. However, it was obvious that it had not been able to absorb enough nutrients before, so this stage did not seem to be special.
However, after the Elves moved in, the Elven Spring was right above Katrin. The Sky Tree was dissatisfied with the Sky Tree's roots, so it could absorb the Elven Spring whenever it wanted.
However, the Elven Spring had a huge amount of energy. It could not absorb much even if it tried its best. Although it tried its best, the Elven Spring did not change much on the surface.
In just two days, the Sky Tree had grown significantly. In one fell swoop, the city's flight system had reached 100% of the standard of an Intermediate Strategic City.
Chen Mo could see the growth of the Sky Tree. He knew what the Sky Tree had done. However, he had the intention of using the Elven Spring to nurture the Sky Tree. As long as the Sky Tree did not absorb too much of the Elven Spring, he would not stop it.
Now that Katrin had been upgraded to an Intermediate Strategic City, the conditions for upgrading to an Advanced Strategic City had also appeared.
Chen Mo only took a glance and knew that there were still many things that needed to be done before Katrin could be upgraded to an Advanced Strategic City.
First of all, the city's flight system had only reached 31%. Before the Sky Tree grew further, it would be impossible to upgrade it.
However, the Sky Tree had just grown rapidly in two days. It would be impossible for it to reach 100% completion in a short period of time.
The flight system was still far from reaching 100% completion. However, the diving system and the strategic library had reached 100% completion.
Apart from these two, the other attributes, including the city's defense system, had not reached 100% completion.
Moreover, there were several new indicators for upgrading from Intermediate to Advanced Strategic City.
The Advanced Magic Research Center, the Advanced Science Research Center, and the Advanced Military Center.
Each of them had a completion rate of 0%. It would take a lot of time to reach 100% completion rate.
Fortunately, Chen Mo had the foresight to set up all of these new indicators. Only high-level craftsmen would be able to do it.
The Dwarves sent by the Dwarven Kingdom were all Advanced Craftsmen and above, saving Chen Mo a lot of effort. As long as there was enough time, these Dwarven craftsmen would be able to follow Catelyn's development and slowly complete the required work.
It would be impossible for him to upgrade his city to an Advanced Strategic City within a short time. After staying in Katrin for another two days and making some important arrangements, Chen Mo decided to return to the Abyss. He wanted to reach Level 80 as quickly as possible so that he could fulfill the conditions for his third class promotion.
More and more people would definitely know about the high EXP in the Abyss. Chen Mo estimated that his enemies had probably received the news and were thinking of ways to go to the Abyss.
If he didn't move faster, he would be dragged down by them.
With a difference of seven or eight levels, it would be difficult to fight.
After making the necessary arrangements, Chen Mo headed to the Blackleaf Kingdom's teleportation circle.
After arriving at the noble's residence, Chen Mo showed his Star Iron Pass and was teleported back to Star Iron City by a servant.
"Welcome back to Star Iron City. Take out your pass, and we will deduct the required Contribution Points for teleportation."
Inside Star Iron City's teleportation circle, an old man was resting with his eyes closed. As soon as Chen Mo teleported over, the old man spoke.
One teleportation would deduct 100 Contribution Points, so a round trip would cost Chen Mo 200 Contribution Points.
Chen Mo had no objections. He handed over his Gold Star Iron City Pass, and the old man brought him back to the Character Hall. After a while, the old man gave him a Silver Pass.
He only had 300 Contribution Points now. If he wanted to return to the Holy Continent, he would have to earn another 200 Contribution Points.
However, unlike a week ago, Chen Mo wasn't in a hurry to return. He could take his time to earn Contribution Points. Right now, his priority was to level up. After leveling up, it would be easier to earn Contribution Points.
If he wanted to level up in Star Iron City, he had to kill monsters like crazy. As for quests, he didn't get much EXP.
As for killing abyssal monsters, he naturally needed Blood Corrosion Potions.
Chen Mo still had several bottles of Blood Corrosion Potions that increased his damage by three times. However, with the Silver Pass, he could obtain Blood Corrosion Potions that increased his damage by four times. Sharpening the axe would not delay the work of cutting firewood. Hence, Chen Mo decided to obtain some Blood Corrosion Potions that increased his damage by four times before leveling up.
With double the damage, his killing speed would increase significantly. In Chen Mo's opinion, it was necessary to obtain Blood Corrosion Potions that increased his damage by four times first.
For the Blood Corrosion Potion quest, the ratio of Blood Corrosion Potion to Blood Snake Blood was one to one. However, for the Character Quest quest, the ratio was one to four. Four bottles of Blood Snake Blood could be exchanged for one Blood Corrosion Potion that increased his damage by four times.
Obviously, most people would want three times the Blood Corrosion Potion, not four times. Four times was too much of a loss.
However, since Chen Mo could easily obtain Blood Snake Blood, he naturally wouldn't consider this.
With his strength, he could easily obtain large amounts of Blood Snake Blood from the territories of the Major Alliance or the Freelancer's Guild.
However, Chen Mo had come to the Abyss to level up. He didn't want to cause trouble everywhere. Hence, he planned to use his relationship with the Freelancer's Guild to directly obtain large amounts of Blood Snake Blood.
"The newcomer over there, line up properly!"
When he arrived at the territory of the Freelancer's Guild, Chen Mo frowned when he discovered that the person occupying this area was a fat member of a guild that he had never seen before.
This fat member clearly didn't recognize him. Seeing that he seemed to want to say something, he shouted in an awe-inspiring manner.
"Isn't the Freelancer's Guild responsible for this area?"
Chen Mo asked expressionlessly as he looked at the fat member.
"The Freelancer's Guild?
Hmph, they're already a thing of the past. Now, this area is occupied by our Star Guild. Our Star Guild's strength isn't something that the Freelancer's Guild can compare to … Tch, I accidentally said too much again. I say, why are you so curious about the Freelancer's Guild? Are you also a member of the Freelancer's Guild? "
The fat member said proudly. Finally, he looked at Chen Mo with vigilance.
Star Guild?
What kind of sh * tty guild was this? He had never heard of such a guild in Star Iron City before.
At first glance, it was obvious that this guild's name had been randomly chosen after arriving in Star Iron City.
It seemed that many things had happened in the Abyss over the past week or so.
… …
The second time was even worse.
