A total of 6 months had gone by since Wert arrived in the town for the first time. During all these months, everyone slowly gained Experience Points and Leveled Up. The town's strength level increased, and the shape of the living area was becoming much more welcoming.
Now, all the streets had beautiful roads for carriages that connected everything. The road management was a combination of Liu Shu's past absorbed knowledge and new ideas that the Explorers hired by Verdantia pushed forward. Liu Shu also listened to the people in the town about their complaints, learning and slowly changing the designs.
Liu Shu pondered while looking at the town. 'Everything looks well... What about waste management? Is everything being safely disposed of?'
Her vision went around the toilets of the town, ignoring it whenever she found a naked person inside. 'Hm~, everything seems good. Moreover, nobody has really complained about the bad smell, so the purification done by the buildings must be quite good.' She saw one person taking in a deep breath and sighing with a smile, making her feel more sure about it. 'Smell will be a difficult thing for me to check.'
Liu Shu looked at her system page's Accumulated Experience and pondered. 'What do I do with this?'
Accumulated Experience: 21780
'I need... 17,360 to Level Up. However... System, show me the MAX Level skills and their tier.'
[MAX Level Talent Skills: <Enchanted Growth (E+ Rank)>, <Runic Living Wood City (D- Rank)>, <Nature's Gift (E Rank)>, <Land Modifying (E- Rank)>.]
[MAX Level Passive Skills: <World Tree Wisdom (SSS Rank)>, <Charm of the Seedling (E- Rank)>, <Root Manipulation (E+ Rank)>, <Mind Echo (E- Rank)>.]
Liu Shu looked at all those skills and felt a headache. 'So many Experience Points needed to Tier them up... Not taking Wisdom into account, how many Experience Points do I need?'
[Experience Needed: 197,976]
Liu Shu groaned. 'Taking experience growth into account, that's at least six to eight levels... It really is not worth it, is it? No wonder that book said that some people just give up on past skills and focus on getting new ones that are higher-tiered.'
Liu Shu looked at them again and selected the most important ones. 'Okay, only take Nature's Gift and Root Manipulation into account.
[Experience Needed: 49,250]
Liu Shu sighed. 'What about Nature's Gift?'
[Experience Needed: 8,750]
Liu Shu hummed. 'Almost Nine Thousand Experience Points. How many days of Experience Gain is that? I gain 62 Experience Points daily, so...'' The World Tree did quick calculations and hummed. '142 days...'
Many thoughts flashed in Liu Shu's mind. 'If I Level Up now, I will start gaining 66 Experience Points because Flor has reached Level 19 and my level would be 14. That's four extra points over 142 days, which are... 568 Experience Points lost in exchange for possible better fruits.'
The World Tree sighed in her mind and looked around her. The small creatures were moving around with their day to day life, the Rose Fairies being born almost daily in the garden by her side, the new life and old life. Everything developing around her canopy moved fast as if everyone was rushing everywhere. 'I don't like it.'
Liu Shu didn't like this feeling. It made her feel anxious. There was a person running in one part, another tripping on the other side. Of course, most were calm, but the rushing people were like lightbulbs in a dark forest.
