Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 183 Free City and Arad
Qi Ji immediately opened the Blackwater City treasure chest and obtained the reward.

[You opened the Chaos Treasure Chest, Soul Crystals +3000, "Blueprint: Territory Formation" +1!]

There weren't many things in the Chaos Chest this time.

It's just a blueprint.

but.

This drawing.

But it’s not simple!
[Blueprint: Territory Formation], a second-level rare building blueprint, construction conditions: 1 soul crystals, 1 material essences, 5000 mental power, and the distance to the nearest territory core must not exceed 400 miles.

The drawings that Qi Ji had obtained in the past were all of relatively common facilities.

The territory formation is different.

It is an uncommon and rare facility.

This blueprint is very different from other blueprints. The biggest difference is that its buildable range is extremely exaggerated. It can be built outside the city or even outside the territory, away from the core of the territory and the influence range of the territory's sacred stone.

As for what is the use of the territory formation?
As the name suggests, once this special facility is built, it can create a temporary small territory with a radius of 200 meters out of thin air through formations.

This small territory may be far away from any core of the territory, or even outside the territory, but it can be influenced by the core of the territory and thus has the ability to build various other facilities.

Territory buildings can only be built on specific territory within the territory.

The function of the territory formation is to create additional territories.

“I didn’t expect such a good thing to come out!”

“Although the cost is not low, it is very useful and even comes at the right time!”

From a military perspective, Dungeon Lords can build territorial formations at key strategic locations, thereby creating a stronghold out of thin air where there was no town stronghold originally.

Once this territory formation is formed.

The lord can build watchtowers, arrow towers, city walls and other territory facilities in this place to better control the area and make the territory more stable at the military level.

From the perspective of territory development and management, the territorial formation can create a special economic zone outside the territory, or create an enclave outside the territory to release influence, so as to better release the influence of the territory!
For example.

Find a local city that is relatively close.

Arrange the territory formation in the city to transform it into a small temporary territory.

In this way, Qi Ji can directly create a secret hall and adventurer's guild in the city, so that adventurers from the territory can also visit secret realms when they come here on business trips or for fun, or attract local natives, various forces, and people from all sides to experience the charm of the secret realm of Miracle City!
This is equivalent to opening a branch of an Internet cafe.

Although there was no territorial expansion or annexation of the region.

But this method does not prevent Miracle City from exporting influence or generating revenue.

Qi Ji knew that not too far from the territory, there was a large city called Qianhu City!
This city has a permanent population of over one million, with complex forces and numerous masters, making it no different from a small kingdom.

A force of this magnitude.

It is not realistic to want to take over in a short period of time.

But if we can send a team of people into Qianhu City to develop, first deploy the territory formation, and then build a secret hall, it would be equivalent to opening a Miracle City Internet Cafe in this huge city!

"Miracle City Internet Cafe" will definitely attract a large number of Qianhu City residents to explore.

Let the residents of Qianhu City understand Miracle City and receive cultural shock from Miracle City.

Attract traffic to Miracle City, enhance the reputation of Miracle City, or influence people subtly.

This will surely greatly promote the spread of Miracle City's influence and soft power, and the direct and indirect profits generated during the operation of "Miracle City Internet Cafe" will inevitably become a large amount of additional income for Miracle City.

"Got it!"

"Let me plan it carefully!"

In fact, even if the blueprint of the "Lord's Formation" was not revealed.

Qi Ji will also prepare to acquire similar blueprints in the next step, because as the territory continues to develop, it has enough power to protect itself. It no longer needs to be as low-key as in the past, and can seek development more aggressively and proactively.

There are many elves in Qianhu City.

If we can completely subdue the great elf elder Artus.

This will provide considerable convenience for Miracle City to control Qianhu City in the future.

Qi Ji was very satisfied with the proceeds from this treasure chest. After he put away the blueprint, he immediately opened the lord panel. The area of ​​Qi Ji's territory had increased by nearly one-third compared to before.

Jinxi City and Heishui City have been captured.

So the next thing to think about is how to develop the two new sites.

Among them, Jinxi City is a second-level secondary city with its own core, and Heishui City is a first-level secondary city. Although the core has disappeared, Qi Ji still has an extra first-level core available.

In other words, both cities can create secret realms.

When to build and what kind of secret realm to build is related to the development of the region and even more to the overall strategy of the territory!

Qi Ji will activate the inspiration of "Grand Theft Auto" for Blackwater City as originally planned.

The GTA series has excellent pure urban materials.

Not only rich but also powerful.

The cost of using this kind of game material without extraordinary powers is very low. The inspiration crystal contains material packages of various large cities. You can directly create a Los Santos based on "Los Angeles" without making any modifications!

Only 1000 mental power is needed!
Not only is the cost super low.

Less worry and effort!
All materials in Inspiration Crystal are automatically optimized.

The city will be a near one-to-one replica of Los Angeles, with all derivative content and operational details being logical.

If Qi Ji were to use biochemical and black light materials to manually create a large city and cram in millions of people, it would not only consume several times or even more mental energy and a huge time cost, but it would also be difficult to take into account all the details.

after all.

In these crystals.

There aren't that many character templates.

It is impossible for him to debug each person one by one manually.

A large population and a complex system cannot possibly be free of bugs.

After running for a few days, the collapse caused by various bugs will cause a chain reaction.

Unless the timeline is constantly reset, various problems will inevitably arise in the world pieced together by hand, and the workload of fixing bugs alone is an astronomical figure that cannot be completed.

If you keep resetting the timeline.

This can avoid the problem of crashing due to bugs.

But such a city is too dull and lacks novelty. What’s fun about it?

At this moment, there will be no such problem if you use the Los Santos in the "Grand Theft Auto" crystal. This city is like an extremely precise super machine that has been polished and debugged billions of times!

From climate change and the world pattern to personal behavior and life details, everything is perfectly integrated.

No matter it runs for one year or ten years, it will remain in a very stable state.

The Los Santos material pack only requires 1000 mental power, and Qi Ji has the effect of "World Tree Blessing", which can further optimize and compress resource usage, leaving hundreds of extra budgets that can be used for free play or to create other town scenes.

"What is the name of this secret realm?"

Qi Ji thought for a moment and said, "This is a secret realm that focuses on experiencing life, immersing oneself in leisure activities, and also allows for some pure urban gaming. Its biggest feature is its extremely high degree of freedom... Well, if that's the case, then let's just call it 'Free City'!"

So far!

The fifth secret realm of Miracle City.

The second secondary secret realm of the territory was born.

This "Free City" secret realm will open up two different ways of playing.

The first one is "Story Mode", which allows you to experience the story of the GTA series. The quality of the GTA story is not low, which can bring a different experience to adventurers.

The second is the "free mode", which will be played in a multiplayer online manner. Adventurers will move freely in it as ordinary citizens of Los Santos without any main line.

Although there is no main plot.

But the mode where multiple people can interact online is like an online game.

Adventurers can meet up in big cities to gather, travel, start businesses, and run businesses.

This is undoubtedly very attractive to adventurers who don’t like fighting and want a slow pace and immersive experience!

The planning of the secret realm of Blackwater City is complete.

It’s the turn of the secret realm of Jinxi City.

According to the original plan.

Qi Ji wanted to use "Dark Dungeon" as the prototype.

Create a medium-sized secret realm for Jinxi City.

Darkest Dungeon is a unique game. Whether it is the game mechanics, dark gothic style, Cthulhu-style world view, or the specific gameplay of territory management and dungeon exploration, it is very different from other secret realms at this stage.

If you create a secret realm of Miracle City based on "Darkest Dungeon".

It will surely bring a different experience to adventurers!

After all, its extremely twisted, bizarre, evil and dark story, as well as the extremely torturous and maddening gaming experience, can be said to be two completely opposite extremes to the relaxed and free city of Blackwater City.

They all have the ability to broaden the diversity of Miracle City's content.

However, Qi Ji also knew that compared to works such as The Walking Dead, Resident Evil, Titanfall, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Prototype, CS, and Sekiro, Darkest Dungeon was definitely a bit niche.

If used to enrich the style of the secret territory.

Darkest Dungeon is a good choice.

But because he obtained a blueprint of the territory formation.

Qi Ji now has more far-reaching considerations and plans.

The second-level territory formation can only be connected to the territory core within 400 miles, which means that the buildings built in the temporary territory will belong to the city where the core of this connection is located.

If you build a territory formation and create a secret hall in Qianhu City.

The only core territories that this hall can connect to are the Blackwater City and the Jinxi City. That is to say, before the formation is upgraded, there are only two secondary secret realms that can be entered in Qianhu City.

Darkest Dungeon, a niche and particularly torturous secret realm, is not suitable for external promotion.

Since we are going to open an Internet cafe, it is best to choose a game with a larger audience and a more orthodox style. Given the current situation of the territory, we can already start to consider producing large-scale online games.

Qi Ji checked the crystallization of inspiration in the spiritual sea.

Finally, my attention fell on "Legend" and "Dungeon & Fighter".

Qi Ji thought about it.

DNF is more suitable for the current territory.

First of all, the setting of this Dungeon & Fighter is very detailed, with such rich characters, plots, world views and related materials, which will greatly reduce the difficulty of remaking.

Secondly, Legend and World of Warcraft are very typical MMORPGs (massively multiplayer online role-playing games). The more people there are, the more lively it is, and it is best to create a large scene with tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people on the same screen.

It is very difficult to make.

It was also very difficult for Miracle City.

On the one hand, the adventurer population is still limited.

On the one hand, the territory's "servers" or other supporting facilities may not be able to keep up.

This is also the reason why Qi Ji chose "Dungeon and Fighter" as the first online game in the territory, because Qi Ji will not build this online game secret realm according to the idea of ​​MMORPG.

Instead, it was made with the idea of ​​Diablo in mind.

It is neither a pure stand-alone game nor a traditional online game.

It has both the depth and immersion of a single-player game and the social and team-building elements of an online game.

In the "Arad Continent" that Miracle City is preparing to build, adventurers can completely treat it as an immersive stand-alone game experience, but they can also call friends to go online at any time. It has a copy system, level system, trading system, and PK field.

If you want to play solo, play solo.

If you like to form a team, you can do so at any time.

This is equivalent to combining the advantages of both stand-alone and online games.

Of course, if you want to fully present the DNF world view, the second-level secret realm core is definitely not enough.

However, this problem is not a big deal for the time being. The biggest difference between online games and single-player games is that single-player games will eventually have an ending, while online games have no ending or concept of passing the level.

First make a level 60 initial version of DNF.

And this is enough for adventurers to grind for a year or two.

As for the subsequent levels, maps, professions, etc., we will upgrade the core later.

It is a bit troublesome that the secondary core cannot be upgraded directly, but it is not impossible to upgrade it. As long as you buy a third-level secondary core, you can upgrade the Jinxi City Secret Realm.

Qi Ji believed that once "Arad Continent" was launched, it would definitely generate tremendous buzz in the territory and even in Thousand Lakes City.

The long-tail benefits that can be brought by the operating routines and operating mechanisms of online games are enough to benefit the territory for the next ten years or even decades.

A few hours later.

Just before Kaesong.

Qi Ji completed the production of "Free City".

It was added to the core of the Blackwater City Secret Realm as soon as possible.

As for the more important secret realm "Arad Continent" that is planned to be launched?
It will take some time to create this secret realm, and the inspiration crystal has not been activated yet, so there is no need to rush for a day or two.

[You are upgrading the Lord's Mansion. This upgrade will consume 1 Soul Crystals, 1 Material Essence, and 1 Spiritual Power. Do you want to continue? Yes/No!]

"upgrade!"

【update successed! 】

[The current lord's mansion level is level 2! ]

Qi Ji has never upgraded his lord's mansion since he became the lord, because although the mansion will have a larger and more comfortable living environment after the upgrade, the resources required are also quite large.

Before this.

Prioritize territory development.

Now the territory has become increasingly wealthy.

Qi Ji didn't care about this little consumption and immediately upgraded the lord's mansion.

Compared with the first-level lord's mansion, the second-level lord's mansion is like a small castle with more complete facilities. It not only has halls with various functions, but also has a secret crystal.

This is a crystal exclusively for lords.

Qi Ji can enter various secret realms through this crystal, and can even enter a specific secret realm crystal in the hall at any time, thereby appearing near the adventurers who are on an adventure and doing something.

The second-level lord’s mansion is indeed much more useful!

At this time, the time for the territory to open has arrived, and a large number of adventurers are rushing into Miracle City frantically. A new day of happy adventure is about to begin.

Qi Ji set the time for the "Miracle City Chicken Eating Competition" to around twelve o'clock.

This means that the one hundred participating adventurers have six hours to prepare, which can be used to understand and adapt to the rules of the chicken-eating competition, as well as to practice shooting, discuss tactics, adjust team members, etc.

Qi Ji led almost all the well-known or slightly famous adventurers to participate in this competition.

It is a hot topic and attracts everyone's attention!
Everyone is looking forward to it.

at the same time.

New secret realm update.

It became the focus immediately.

Many adventurers have discovered the Free Cities.

Qi Ji did not peek at the adventurers' performance as usual, but instead activated the lord's special crystal in the lord's mansion, and five secret realms immediately appeared before his eyes.

Main secret realms: Doomsday Frenzy, Exotic Ten Kingdoms, and Sea of ​​Stars.

Secondary secret realms: End Arena and Free City.

When Qi Ji saw the five secret realms with different styles and characteristics, he was very satisfied and full of a sense of accomplishment. After all, in less than two months, the territory already had such a luxurious lineup of secret realms!
Just based on these five existing secret realms.

Just enough time to develop.

Miracle City is enough to become one of the top dungeons in the world!

Although these five secret realms are excellent in their own characteristics, this is still just the beginning of the Miracle Territory. In the future, there will be more and richer content and more magical secret realms emerging.

Qi Ji activated the Free City and entered it.

……

A few minutes later.

Northwest of Saint-Lo city.

Near the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This is the entertainment and art center of the west coast of the United States. It is not only full of fashionable and beautiful men and women, but also foreign tourists of various ethnicities, or black vendors selling DVDs and various small commodities.

Suddenly there was a roar of an engine.

Everyone saw an ultra-luxurious and ultra-cool convertible Lamborghini driving into the street. The driver was a handsome, tall, and Asian young man wearing sunglasses and a floral shirt.

Many young women's eyes lit up and they were eager to try.

"Handsome, can you lend me a light?"

A beautiful young woman came forward to strike up a conversation first. She had a devilishly hot body and beautiful long wavy golden hair. Her perfect long legs were highlighted by a pair of super short jeans.

When she leaned over to chat with the handsome Lamborghini guy, her eyes were seductive and the pendant slipped into the bottomless ravine.

"Sorry, miss, this is a no-smoking area."

The woman suddenly laughed. "Can I borrow a pen?"

The handsome Lamborghini guy naturally pulled out a Montblanc pen from his breast pocket.

The blonde left a number on a small piece of paper, then handed the paper and pen back and winked at him. "I hope we'll meet again."

The handsome guy in the Lamborghini just smiled.

The red light turned green, the engine started again, and quickly left the street.

This handsome Lamborghini guy with Asian ancestry is none other than Boss Qi, who has personally entered the free city to experience life. He has made some changes to his appearance at this moment to make his temperament more in line with this place.

Qi Ji drove a Lamborghini through the streets.

Now, let alone the adventurer who has never seen Los Angeles in the 21st century, even he who comes from the 21st century Earth cannot help but sigh at this moment that this world is so delicate and real that it is completely flawless, completely natural, and without the slightest sense of design.

The streets and alleys of Los Santos.

From small vendors to homeless people, from all kinds of tourists to various handsome men and beautiful women and elite stars, no model is repeated, and everyone is completely different and full of life.

Even as the creator of the world.

Qi Ji would feel dazed.

I just feel that every passerby and every citizen in this world has a soul and thoughts, but they don’t realize that they and even their world are created out of thin air.

Not only that.

Qi Ji went to many places one after another.

For example, bookstores, shopping malls, cinemas, etc.

In this world, no characters or scene materials are reused.

Qi Ji discovered that even the movie theaters were indeed playing movies, but all the movies, games, books, and animations were original works automatically generated by this world, which was different from his previous life.

Not bad!

It's completely a parallel world!
As a time traveler, Qi Ji liked this secret realm very much and felt a strong sense of intimacy. Although he could never go back to his original world, it was also nice to have such a secret realm that was infinitely close to his previous life.

In the free mode of the Free City Secret World, it will not be reset unless there are special circumstances. Its timeline is the early 21st century and will continue to run.

This operation is not based on the subjective feelings of the adventurer.

In other words, even if the adventurer does not enter the Free City, the time in this city will flow, and a month will pass if the adventurer does not come to this world for a month.

Before this.

The most lifelike secret realm in Miracle City is the Sui and Tang Dynasties chapter.

Because the story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties will span a period of one year.

But the problem is that the areas that can be visited in the Sui and Tang Dynasties are limited. You can only explore specific areas at a specific time. The population and content richness cannot be compared with Los Santos.
And because of being pushed by the main storyline.

If this is not completed in time, synchronization will be lost and the time will be reset.

In terms of the authenticity and texture of the world, it cannot be compared with a world with extremely high freedom, where time passes naturally and new news stories and new changes happen every minute and every second.

After the adventurer discovered the secret of "Free City".

They will definitely be amazed by this colorful world!

Although not all adventurers can adapt to this completely life-like leisure secret realm with no main line, plot, fixed tasks, or even combat, I believe no one will deny the incredible technological breakthrough and unique charm of this secret realm.

In this secret place.

You can enjoy delicious food, read books and watch movies, sunbathe on the beaches of the West Coast, pick up girls, fall in love, run businesses, start businesses and commit crimes.

For Qi Ji.

This world is infinitely close to the real world.

It is definitely a great place to kill time.

After all, as the lord of Miracle City and the creator of Free City, he has absolute control over this world, which is equivalent to turning on a universal modifier in the real world.

Wealth, power, beauty, luxury cars and yachts are all within easy reach.

He walks in this real parallel world, no different from a real God. Although Qi Ji's personality will not allow him to mess around, the sense of security and pleasure of being in control of everything is unimaginable for ordinary people.

Free City is the freest and most real secret place in Miracle City.

And Qi Ji is the freest man in the free city!
However, just as Qi Ji continued to stroll around and experience the long-lost modern life of the 21st century, he unexpectedly met an adventurer who entered this world.

"I'll only say it once!"

"Give us all the money and gold!"

After the four adventurers got out of a broken second-hand pickup truck, they immediately took out iron bars, long knives, and a pistol, and then rushed into a jewelry store to rob it.

Qi Ji glanced at the code names of the four people.

They are: Green-skinned Bully, Mantis Fighter, Big Eagle Brother, and Cunning Fox Girl.

Among them, the green-skinned bully is a third-level adventurer, and the other three are also relatively senior adventurers. After entering the free city, they found that they were just gangsters, vagrants, and spirited girls.

In order to obtain the original accumulation, they thought of robbery.

Robbing a bank is too difficult, so start with a jewelry store.

Most adventurers are chaotic good or chaotic evil people who enjoy having fun. They have no sense of morality in the secret world. At this moment, they not only do not feel ashamed, but find it very exciting.

They obviously underestimated the speed of law enforcement response in this world.

Before they could finish their search, they looted the jewelry store of all the cash, gold, silver and jewelry.

The shrill sound of sirens rang out from all directions, and several police cars and more than ten American police officers rushed to the scene. They immediately drew their guns and opened fire on the adventurers. The four adventurers were either shot dead or captured alive.

This business venture ended in failure.

Qi Ji found this funny, but he also had to consider that the adventurers' behavior might have an impact on the long-term order of the free city, so it was necessary to strengthen behavioral constraints under the free mode.

For example.

Each adventurer can only get a free character once.

Death or arrest and loss of personal freedom will be considered as desynchronization.

Although adventurers can draw characters again, there will be a long cooling-off period.

Even if you want to start over, you have to pay a large amount of contribution points. This can limit the adventurers' crazy and deadly behavior to a certain extent. If you really want to commit crimes, destroy, and mess around, you can go to the story mode.

There you can experience the stories of Lao Cui, Mike, and Franklin.

Because the world is constantly reset and can be destroyed in any way.

It's a more authentic Grand Theft Auto.

This free mode is a paradise for adventurers who like a slow pace, immersive life in another world, don’t like fighting and just want to relax and vacation. It is also one of the places where Boss Qi will go on vacation and relax in the future.

A blink of an eye.

Several hours passed.

Qi Ji went to several landmarks in Saint-Lo to check in and take photos, and then went to a high-rise restaurant on the 81st floor in the city center to taste the food. At the same time, he activated the lord's perspective to observe the situation in the territory.

That's right.

Even if people are in a secret place.

This does not prevent Qi Ji from using his lord abilities.

He can keep an eye on every corner of the territory at any time, and can also check the adventures of the adventurers at any time. Now it is not far from the start of the "Miracle City Chicken Eating Competition".
