Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 174 Leisure Secret Realm and Dual Core
This awakening.

Obtained three crystals of inspiration.

"Grand Theft Auto," "Darkest Dungeon," and "Plants vs. Zombies."

Although the quality cannot be compared with the awakening of the breakthrough level, the scale of the materials is relatively small, but it is only relative to Qi Ji, and compared horizontally with other lords and territories.

Less?

of course not.

Even surprisingly many.

One is enough for an ordinary lord to eat for a lifetime.

You can also become a talented lord in the eyes of other lords!
Qi Ji had no expectations for this relatively low-quality awakening, but he still awakened as many as three crystals at once, and they were all quite classic games.

The largest of these is undoubtedly Grand Theft Auto.

Although Qi Ji did not activate the crystal, he could preview the materials inside.

He suddenly felt his eyes light up: "What a great crystal!"

Before obtaining the crystal.

He doesn't care much about purely urban crystals.

Because theoretically speaking, it is also possible to create an urban world out of thin air using materials from the Prototype and Resident Evil series, but it is still difficult to create a super-realistic urban atmosphere with rich enough details.

The plot of the Dark World lasts a total of twenty-one days, and most of the biochemical plots take place within one day, and are basically in a state of collapse.

And we really want to pursue ultimate authenticity.

I want to create a super realistic modern city with full quality of life, exactly the same as the Blue Planet in my previous life.

Then every character in this city cannot be repeated. Each character must have his or her own growth experience, trajectory, personality, habits, occupation, etc., and must be organically integrated with the huge city to run for a long time without any bugs.

The difficulty and workload are exaggerated.

Any large city has millions of people!

Although Prototype and Resident Evil have rich urban materials, to truly polish out a realistic and ultra-modern city, even Qi Ji would have to spend at least several years and a lot of mental energy.

This is obviously not cost-effective.

So that's where Grand Theft Auto got its inspiration.

What surprised Qi Ji the most was...

This series includes several ready-made large city resource packs.

For example, New York (Liberty City), Miami (Vice City), Los Angeles (San Roque), San Francisco (San Fierro), Las Vegas (Las Venturas), and Leonidas (Florida) which appeared in the sixth generation.

There are dozens of cities, large and small.

The cost of packaged mental power is only about 500 to 1000.

In the process of forming each of Qi Ji's inspirations, not only will the work itself, derivatives, MOD and other materials be integrated, but also the hidden plots and content will be completed and made real.

Therefore, even the materials extracted from 2D games will be made real and supplemented with corresponding details.

But it's the crystallization of different inspirations.

Automatic optimization focuses on different directions.

The GTA series is a purely urban worldview without any supernatural powers.

Because the original work is known for its extremely high degree of freedom, a large number of details and realism, after the inspiration was formed, it was further strengthened and completed around authenticity and details.

Deploy a Saint Luodu.

Not only is the cost extremely low.

It's not much different from real-world Los Angeles.

There will be no duplication of characters, and millions of people basically have real life trajectories. It is like a huge open sandbox that can run for a long time without any bugs. This will be a place that can infinitely restore the pure urban worldview.

Even Qi Ji would find it difficult to find fault with it.

This world will have its own news, culture, entertainment, and political situation.

Once adventurers enter, they can freely taste delicious food, play video games, watch original movies automatically generated by this world, or start a business by opening a store or speculating in stocks, commit fraud, rob a bank, etc.

Of course, you can also play several GTA protagonists.

This allows you to immerse yourself in the real life of a pure city without any extraordinary background.

interesting.

Let’s build on this.

Create a secondary secret realm mainly for leisure.

In the future, other slow-paced urban leisure materials, or materials with realistic urban themes without magic or supernatural elements, such as some criminal investigation, romance, and business themes can be sewn in.

Qi Ji's sea of ​​inspiration includes not only various games but also film, television, animation and other materials.

Therefore, there is still a lot of potential pure urban content in the future.

Although secret realms that focus on realism and leisure may sound slow and uninteresting, in fact, every kind of secret realm can find its audience.

Some adventurers like to fight and kill.

There are adventurers who like leisure travel.

Just find the secret place that is most comfortable and suitable for you.

Only then can they quickly gain cultivation and break through to a higher level.

of course.

The output of extraordinary resources in purely urban secret realms is definitely not enough.

If everyone goes to a secret leisure resort for vacation in the future, how will Miracle City’s resource income be guaranteed?
Although adventurers who like passion, fighting, excitement and exploring the unknown always make up the majority, and the possibility of everyone being idle is almost zero, Qi Ji can still make some designs in advance.

For example, providing value-added services.

Contribution points can be exchanged for money in the secret world.

Thus.

Even for a better quality of life.

Adventurers will also try to find ways to earn more contribution points.

In fact, similar value-added services already exist in Miracle City. In secret realms with a strong sense of life, such as the Sui and Tang Dynasties, adventurers can spend contribution points to exchange for a certain amount of silver.

The premise is not to destroy the balance.

Miracle City can recycle contribution points.

And adventurers can get a better experience.

This is a two-way effort where both parties get what they need, so why not do it?

Qi Ji plans to create a leisure urban secondary secret realm based on "Grand Theft Auto".

As for Darkest Dungeon and Plants vs. Zombies? They're both excellent resources.

The former is a very classic Cthulhu-style game. The monsters, content and stories are very curious, and the mechanism is also very interesting. It was one of Qi Ji's favorite Cthulhu games in his previous life.

Worth doing.

However, the style and world view of this work do not quite match the current main secret realms.

In addition, the original work is a 2D horizontal turn-based game. Although the materials are automatically optimized after crystallization, how to remake it to fully demonstrate the characteristics and charm of the game requires further thinking and planning.

There is no need to rush this one.

There is no need to say much about "Plants vs. Zombies".

This is the most famous and well-known mini-game among these three crystals.

Although Plants vs. Zombies is very classic and the gameplay is also very interesting.

However, the volume and elements are not large enough, making it not suitable for opening up a new secret realm alone.

In the future, it can be launched as an activity chapter of the Frenzy Secret Realm, or sewn into a secret realm dedicated to tower defense games. If you have extra secondary secret realm cores, you can also make a separate secondary secret realm.

At this point, Qi Ji’s goal for the next stage of secret realm creation is very clear.

Nowadays, the Frenzy Secret Realm and the Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm are almost operating at full capacity, and there is not enough new material, so new chapters cannot be added, and gameplay innovation can only be made based on existing materials.

The Sui and Tang chapters of the Records of the Ten Kingdoms are enough to explore for a while.

There is no rush to update.

Qi Ji will update a battle royale mode to the Frenzy Secret Realm in the near future. In addition, he plans to acquire a first-level dungeon. Once the secondary core purchased from the offline market is sent to the territory, he can immediately create a first-level secondary secret realm with a casual urban style.

……

now.

The dungeon is closed.

The hotels and taverns in Miracle City are still bustling.

The tavern was almost full, with adventurers drinking and discussing things related to secret adventures, while classic adventures were being replayed in the tavern crystal.

"Brilliant! Cool! Gorgeous!"

Many people watched the fourth act, "Cause and Effect," again.

The adventurer's constant flashbacks between the two timelines are so thrilling.

The spectacle of time standing still due to the final overload and space-time explosion of the Holy Ark's core is even more breathtaking!
"Cooper and BT work so well together!"

"Although Miracle City has already released its first mecha, its intelligence is not ideal. I don't know if we can have an intelligent mecha like BT."

"..."

"Will the resistance finally succeed?"

"With the protagonist Cooper, how can we not succeed!"

"I don't think so. After all, the IMC is just a company in the Star Ocean world responsible for mining on the edge of the galaxy. Who knows if there are larger forces behind it?"

"A private mining company actually has such a large army and weapons capable of destroying a planet... I feel like the scale of the world of Xinghai is a bit outrageous."

“It’s so curious!”

"Big guys, work harder!"

"Work together to uncover the worldview of the Star Sea Secret Realm!"

"Cheers to Xinghai! Cheers to Titan! Cheers to BT and Cooper!"

"Praise Miracle City! Praise old thief Qi!"

"..."

Today, the Titan chapter became the most popular one.

But this does not mean that other secret realms are not popular.

For example, many people are watching Higanbana's adventures through the tavern crystal.

Chen Jingchou, played by Bianhua, bravely broke into the Sui army camp. With her superb swordsmanship and mysterious Taoist magic, she killed many Sui army soldiers along the way. In the end, she defeated a captain who turned into a demon and successfully rescued a group of boys captured by the Sui army.

The process was also very exciting and thrilling, and many people applauded while watching it.

After this mission was successfully completed.

Chen Jingchou (Higanbana) and Xiaoxue were invited to the Tuoba tribe, where they were given a high-level reception by the Tuoba clan. They experienced the scenery and life outside the Great Wall in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and saw the vast grassland with herds of cattle and sheep and yurts of nomadic peoples.

What a beautiful scenery outside the Great Wall.

The various special foods, grassland customs and shaman culture are also eye-opening.

"Brother Higanbana is so awesome! He was able to single-handedly break into the heavily guarded Sui army camp and rescue so many children from the hordes of soldiers. If it were me, I would have died countless times already."

"What's going on with these Sui troops?"

"Why are there so many demonic officers in there?"

"Could it be that the Sui Dynasty of this world has been controlled by demons?"

"I think it's very likely that these Sui soldiers captured children just to feed Princess Dugu. Perhaps that Master Yuwen, who was born with demonic eyes, is the biggest demon!"

"It's so scary..."

"Fortunately, Chen Jingchou has gained the support of Zhang Lie, the leader of the Tuoba tribe. They have already identified the Sui navy responsible for transporting the Shennong Ding. I hope the process of seizing the artifact will go smoothly!"

"I don't think it's that easy."

"Yuwen Tuo also wants this tripod."

"Maybe I'll meet him head-on this time!"

"..."

The Sui and Tang Dynasty chapters and the Titan chapters of Miracle City are the latest content.

Every breakthrough in progress will naturally attract a lot of attention.

This does not mean that other secret realms such as the End Arena, Frenzy Arena, as well as Biochemical, Darklight, and Ashina are not hotly discussed.

"Everyone, we have established the Final Arena, our first team to compete in the King of Fighters tournament. We hope you will pay close attention and support us, and give us more advice and help."

"Wow, someone's entering the King of Fighters tournament so soon?"

"Come on, big guy!"

"Break through the ring!"

"..."

"Boss Wangchuan's sniping skills are too strong."

"These gunfights must be studied carefully!"

"..."

"Another breakthrough in the Ashina arc!"

"Someone has achieved the Shura ending!" "As long as you agree to help your adoptive father, Owl, and betray the divine child, Hirata Kuro, the Shura ending will be triggered!"

"This ending can be completed without going to the Palace of Origin to challenge the Sakura Dragon, but you need to kill Yongzhen and the elderly version of the Sword Master Ashina Isshin!"

"Is it so perverted?"

"How could he do that to a gentle and beautiful girl like Yongzhen?"

"That's interesting. I'd like to give it a try!"

"..."

Several adventurers who were interested in the ending of Ashina Shura immediately used the tavern crystal to call up the relevant clearance records, and then began to study with relish.

Nancy Liya walked into the tavern. "So lively? Adventurers are really energetic!"

She came to a corner.

Meet Elise, Luke, and Kimba.

The three native adventurers were about to stand up with respect on their faces.

Nancy Liya said, "You don't have to be so reserved. Just be natural. I don't want others to know my identity."

"Yes!" Iris immediately whispered, "Lady Nancy Liya, according to your instructions, we have sent our people to Qianhu City. I think there should be results soon!"

"Thank you for your hard work!"

These three tribal leaders obviously already knew Nancy Liya's identity.

Of course, we only know the true identity of the race, but not its specific origin. Even so, relying on the high elf bloodline, it is enough to make these tribal natives respect them.

And Nancy Liya asked the lord for his consent.

Let Iris and others send a team to Qianhu City to contact the tribesmen.

Qianhu City is located in the western part of the Eternal Night Forest. The area where it is located is a fourth-level area. It is also one of the very few large forest cities that has not surrendered to the Eternal Night Dragon King and has not been conquered by the dark species.

This city is six hundred miles away from Dark Valley.

It is also the largest city within a radius of one or two thousand miles.

Nancylia has a tribe of elves living in seclusion here. She plans to guide this tribe to migrate to Miracle City and join the Lord. This will not only enhance the strength of Miracle City, but also allow the tribe to achieve better development.

And no contact in the past.

Simply because the time is not right.

It's quite appropriate to come here now.

Nancy Liya is very much looking forward to meeting her tribesmen.

I also look forward to the elves enjoying Miracle City and growing in it.

As time passed, with only one or two hours left before the city opened, many adventurers who were resting suddenly received an alarm, which made them jump out of their hotels or taverns.

"Oh no! News has come from Black Wind Canyon that a group of invaders is approaching Dark Valley!"

"What? Someone's here to cause trouble?"

"Could it be the dark race?"

"Haha, no matter what it is, grab your weapons!"

"..."

The adventurers immediately organized their men. They wanted to see who was so bold as to attempt to invade the Miracle Territory.

however.

After seeing clearly.

All the adventurers were confused.

Mao Mengmeng: "What's going on? This shouldn't be a dark species!"

Feng Zhongmian said, "I don't think so. If it was a dark species attacking, it shouldn't be so weak."

This army consisted of only a few dozen people, most of whom were first-level, two-star zombies. The leader was an obese human, who quickly revealed his identity when he saw the murderous people from Miracle City.

"Don't misunderstand! Don't do anything!"

The fat man quickly raised his hands: "I have no hostility!"

The red spider lily asked loudly: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The fat man quickly cleared his throat and said, "I am Pang Dahai, the lord of Jinxi City!"

what?
Lord?

Everyone stared at each other in amazement.

Are there other human lords nearby?

Although it is common for human lords to meet each other in the process of development in the Chaos Continent, this is the first time that Miracle City has encountered other lords!
did not expect.

It turned out to be this situation.

Hearing this did not reduce the hostility of the crowd, because human lords were not entirely friendly to each other, especially when the territories of both sides bordered each other, and it was common for wars to break out for the purpose of grabbing territory.

The moon shines on the snow: "What do you want to do?"

Pang Dahai immediately explained, "I heard there's a second-rank lord here... I've come to offer my city and surrender!"

Dedicate the city?

Take refuge?

The young adventurer was bewildered.

Baihe Jushi explained: "Human lords often clash and annex each other. The annexed party usually has two choices: one is complete destruction, and the other is to choose submission."

Black Stone Hammer King: "Surrender? Is that reliable?"

"It's hard to say. Every lord has dignity and ambition. Once they choose to submit to another lord, it is equivalent to giving up ownership of the territory and willingly becoming a vassal with no further growth."

Sanzhu said: "This is unacceptable to most lords, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"I'm at my wit's end and can't make it!"

The adventurers guessed correctly. Pang Dahai is the lord of Jinxi City. He has been the lord for exactly one and a half years, but now he can no longer survive.

Pang Dahai himself is already at the second level.

Its territory is still at the first level.

Although Pang Dahai has been the lord for a short time, he already feels exhausted and almost desperate. Ever since he built the city and became the lord, he has been threatened by the dark species and is in fear all the time.

At the beginning, they faced off in the first-level dark dungeon, and both sides were weak in fighting and had their respective victories and defeats.

This first-level dark dungeon was unable to be conquered after a long time, so it asked for help from the second-level dungeon behind it. With the arrival of a large number of dark reinforcements, the gap between the two sides widened.

Several months.

The dark species frequently and repeatedly harassed.

Jinxi City is so overwhelmed by the situation that it has no ability to develop.

Pang Dahai's territory was not developing but regressing, and the number of troops at his disposal was decreasing. Seeing this, the adventurers no longer trusted Jinxi City, and several adventurers who had signed contracts with great difficulty simply terminated the contracts and ran away.

Continue to develop in this direction.

Jinxi City will definitely be destroyed.

Pang Dahai was almost in despair facing this situation because he had no resources to build an expensive teleportation station, which meant that he had no chance to escape and could only wait for death in the increasingly dilapidated dungeon.

This is the cruel reality!

Pang Dahai began to regret why he insisted on becoming a lord.

Even though I know that eight or nine out of ten new dungeons will end up like this, I still hold on to hope.

For a vague dream of becoming a great overlord.

This time my life is at risk!

However, just when Pang Dahai was almost in despair, he suddenly heard that a territory had suddenly risen in the north. This territory had not only been promoted to a second-level territory, but had also annexed the Thunder Swamp, and was now a quasi-third-level territory!
Pang Dahai found a life-saving straw.

Hence the scene of surrendering the city.

Soon after.

Pang Dahai entered Miracle City.

Qi Ji personally met with the impoverished lord.

In fact, Qi Ji was also very surprised to encounter such a thing. After all, he had never encountered a human lord before, but he had heard of many bloody fights among human lords.

Never thought about it.

Meeting a fellow tribesman for the first time.

The other party actually came to surrender on his own initiative.

Qi Ji asked: "Have you really thought it through?"

Pang Dahai said bitterly, "I dare not hide it from you, sir. All I have left are these few dozen zombies. Even if you are unwilling to take over Jinxi City, I dare not go back now..."

Are you doing so badly?
There are dozens of zombies in the huge sea.

Qi Ji naturally saw that they were all first-level two-star soldiers, with only one or two first-level three-star soldiers. Such a force was indeed not enough to defend the city. If the dark race attacked, the territory would be destroyed.

It was in this desperate situation.

The lord wanted to try his luck by joining Qi Ji.

Pang Dahai knelt down and pleaded, "If you are willing to take me in, I will do my best to serve you like a dog and a horse from now on!"

Qi Ji fell into deep thought.

If I had agreed to Pang Dahai.

Jinxi City will become the territory of Miracle City.

This huge sea will become the subordinate lord or secondary lord of Miracle City.

Everything in Jinxi City will belong to Miracle City, and Pang Dahai will only retain a small amount of management rights and a little dividend.

If Qi Ji is dissatisfied with him, he can even cross the river and demolish the bridge, completely expel him or even kill him, so as to completely control the territory of Jinxi City.

however.

There are advantages to peacefully annexing Terran territory in this way.

Therefore, all facilities, resources, and even the core of the secret realm of the occupied party do not need to be dismantled and can be directly used by the occupier.

To put it simply.

Qi Ji doesn't need to buy a secondary secret realm core specifically.

The core of Jinxi City’s territory will be directly downgraded to a secondary secret realm core.

According to what Qi Ji knew, the territory used abandoned cities to create secondary secret realms, which not only required resources to rebuild and purchase secret realm cores, but also had a limit on the number and could not exceed the number of main secret realms.

And seize the core of the same clan and create a secondary secret realm.

Although this type of core cannot be upgraded directly, at least the number is not limited. It only requires the establishment of a secondary lord, which is not a bad thing overall.

After all, as the territory expands.

The original intention was to enfeoff some subordinates to manage local cities.

Qi Ji was just thinking of creating a secret place for leisure, and someone gave him a pillow when he felt sleepy.

However, Qi Ji did not agree to let Pang Dahai take over Jinxi City immediately.

Because according to what Qi Ji knew, the formation of the core of a secondary territory was related to the level of the territory... In other words, the higher the level of the territory, the higher the level of the secondary core formed.

If the territory is a second-level territory when it is annexed, and the territory core is no lower than the second level.

When swallowed up, it will directly form a second-level secret realm core.

So Qi Ji had a better idea.

The dark forces threatening Pang Dahai at the moment are mainly a first-level dark dungeon and the second-level dark dungeon behind it. If Jinxi City can counterattack and capture this first-level city.

Then Jinxi City can advance to the second-level leader.

Wouldn't it be possible to produce a second-level core with a larger capacity if it is then converted into a secondary territory?
The destroyed first-level dungeon will then become a ruined city, where a first-level secret realm core will be arriving.

This way.

Under one annexation.

Two secret cores can be obtained at the same time.

Two secondary secret realms will be created in the future.

One of the first-level secondary secret realms is sufficient to create a leisure city secret realm, while the second-level secondary secret realm formed in Jinxi City can completely create a higher-level secret realm.

So good!

After Qi Ji finished thinking.

Let Pang Dahai stay in Miracle City for a day first.

It’s definitely too late today, but it’s not too late to take concrete action tomorrow!

"Is this lord so cautious? Even when the city offered him a free gift, he didn't immediately accept it. I'm afraid he wants to investigate and understand the risks of this matter."

Pang Dahai was extremely anxious.

But there is no better way.

About another hour passed.

The chaos tide rolled in, once again submerging the entire chaotic world.

For the adventurers of Miracle City, happy and joyful times are coming again!
