"Lord Qiyu! The most important thing for a village and town now is to develop, and to work hard to evolve into a town, so it is necessary to improve the town, and with our current manpower, it will take at least ten years to collect enough materials to meet the conditions for upgrading."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the guard knelt on the ground respectfully, and at the same time said with a report in his mouth.

"Ten years? Collecting supplies? Hearing this guard's words, a flash of inspiration flashed in Lin Chen's mind.

I was almost able to understand the conditions for the upgrade of this territory, and asked confirmatively: "Does the upgrade of this territory require enough materials?" ”。

"Not bad! The materials collected before have met the requirements for upgrading to villages and towns, and now, villages and towns need even more materials, so they can only be upgraded to towns."

"But the popularity in the town is not enough, even if everyone mobilizes to collect supplies, it will take a long time", the guard replied after hearing Lin Chen's words.

"So that's the case", hearing the guard's explanation, Lin Chen understood and muttered secretly.

I was still very suspicious before, how can I come back well, and the territory is about to be upgraded? It turned out that the guards who had been sent out to collect materials by themselves before, and the materials they collected had reached the conditions for upgrading.

You don't have to think about it to know that if you upgrade from a village to a village, you must need the least amount of materials, and if you want to upgrade to a town, you will need more materials.

In the end, if you want to upgrade to the main city, the materials needed will be even more huge.

It's no wonder that this guard spends more time on improving his popularity, only in this way can he quickly collect supplies.

But popularity? Thinking of this, Lin Chen had a headache when he looked at the empty villages and towns, in this village, except for the owners of those shops, except for these guards, he couldn't see anyone else at all.

As for getting some popularity? Unless Lin Chen gets a group of people from outside, it will be very harmful to the villages and towns, once the enemy comes and makes a betrayal move, then Lin Chen will cry without tears.

Lin Chen took the matter of increasing popularity in the territory to heart, but he was too anxious not to go back, this kind of thing can't come randomly.

After nodding and answering the guard's words, Lin Chen and the others walked into the village and town, and the first thing they looked at was rummaging through the goods in the grocery store.

Those guards, with the ability to think independently, have changed from puppet-like NPCs to flesh-and-blood people."

And in the same way, the owners and guys of these shops are the same, they all have their own consciousness, which Lin Chen is very happy about.

It's just that after rummaging through all the things in several shops, Lin Chen found that the things sold in the shops were exactly the same as before the territory was upgraded.

"Boss, the territory has been upgraded, but you don't have anything new here?"

When he saw the last grocery store and found that it was still no different from before, Lin Chen asked with a frown.

The territory has been upgraded, but the things in this shop have not increased, which makes it difficult for Lin Chen to accept.

"My lord, it's not that the things in the small shop haven't changed after the territory has been upgraded, it's just that those new goods need materials to be made, but I don't have those materials in my own hands."

Hearing Lin Chen's words, the owner of the grocery store replied, his words made Lin Chen understand, and at the same time, he also breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, it turned out that it was just a lack of materials, so those new goods were not made.

After turning around, Lin Chen generally understood the situation in the villages and towns, because there was no popularity, so Lin Chen sent most of the guards to collect supplies.

In particular, the new materials in those stores must be collected, but what about Lin Chen? It is time to start refining ancient secret medicines and repairing the multicolored shield.

The affairs of the Nanxuan Empire, Ninotin and Ah Xing have handled it almost well, and the materials over there will be transported over one after another.

There are also materials from the Pharmacist Guild of the Eastern Dragon Empire, which will also be transported over, to be honest, although the territory is Lin Chen's, but looking back, Lin Chen found that he was indeed tragic.

The goods in those stores were not enough, and he had to find a way to help them collect them, but after the collected materials were made, he had to pay for them, which made Lin Chen really feel that he was not worth it.

But there is no way, after all, it is his own territory, Lin Chen doesn't care so much, besides, is this territory upgrade, is it really out of thin air?

Thinking about it, the gold coins he paid were regarded as the upgraded town that he had purchased from the system, and Lin Chen was balanced.

In front of the Supreme Church, the Pope's throne, a black shadow slowly appeared, it was a thief of the Eight Grades of the Holy Domain, kneeling respectfully on the ground.

"Your Majesty the Pope, the latest news I have gotten is that Lin Chen has appeared in the Eastern Dragon Empire."

"Oh? Are you sure? Hearing the report of his subordinates, the Pope raised his eyebrows and stood up movingly.

There is no way, the last time Lin Chen encountered Michael in the Divine Realm, they all disappeared in the end, the Pope is naturally very concerned, Lin Chen's artifact, if it falls into the hands of Michael in the Divine Realm, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.

But now, Lin Chen has appeared in the Eastern Dragon Empire, which means that Michael has not succeeded, right?

On the one hand, the Pope was relieved that he would not further widen the gap between the human realm and the divine realm, and on the other hand, the Pope was also very happy, because he still had the opportunity to seize the artifact in Lin Chen's hand.

"What are we going to do this time? Still want to contact the Interracial Alliance? Seeing the Pope Jī move and stand up, the thief below asked.

Hearing the words of the thief below, the Pope's face sank, obviously very unhappy that he actually asked about this matter, "I am free to arrange this problem, and you can take care of your own affairs."

"Yes, His Majesty!" , Hearing the Pope's displeased, the thieves below were terrified, and they also understood that they had said the wrong thing.

"You go back first", knocking and knocking, the Pope saw the other party's panicked appearance, and he didn't mean to punish, just waved his hand and let the other party retreat, after all, he still needs his ability, and he is now at the time of employing people.

"Lin Chen, it seems that it has to be like a perfect solution."

Although he knew Lin Chen's news, the Pope didn't dare to make a casual move, but seriously thought about a foolproof strategy, after all, Lin Chen himself was so difficult not to mention that even a Joanke, the Pope could not be underestimated.
