Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 188: Yongzhen

The third-level spirit is extremely valuable.

What’s more, it is a third-level named soul?
Of course, named spirits also have different qualities.

The "White-Clothed Tiger General of the Sui Dynasty: Yang Shuo" revealed by Higanbana this time is just an ordinary named spirit, and its value may not be comparable to the spirit of Ashina Genichirō, which has a lower star rating but rare quality.

But there is no doubt that such a spirit is worth more than ten times that of an ordinary third-level spirit!

Make all adventurers envious.

Black Stone Hammer King: "Congratulations to Higanbana Boss for revealing another top-tier loot!"

Iron-Jawed Cockroach: "Strong! Although Miracle City has a lot of named souls, there have only been three or two third-level named souls so far!"

Wool Warrior: "This spirit is worth at least one or two million soul sands. If an ordinary person gets one, they will be financially free for the rest of their lives!"

Meng Yinxue's face was filled with envy: "One or two million soul sands? I'm afraid it's not that easy! This kind of soul is priceless!"

He is also a talented adventurer.

Meng Yinxue comes from a powerful background.

But it is not easy to get a third-level named spirit.

Miracle City has produced several of them in a short period of time, which not only makes people enviable but also makes people full of motivation.

This enviable drop officially brought today's adventure to a perfect end. The adventurers were both satisfied and reluctant to leave, feeling that they had not had enough fun.

Territory closed.

When most adventurers reluctantly left the territory.

The four lords once again visited the lord's mansion in Miracle City.

This trip was not just to get close to Qi Ji and make their presence felt, but also to each of them took out some material drawings to do business with Boss Qi.

It is not difficult to see that in order to please Qi Ji and obtain trading opportunities with Miracle City, several lords worked very hard, rummaging through boxes and cabinets and searching various channels just to get items that are useful to Miracle City and can be used for trading.

Passion for several lords.

Qi Ji was naturally very satisfied.

The four of them are senior veterans with extensive market and personal connections. If they are willing to help Miracle City with all their strength, it will not be difficult for them to find things that are useful to Miracle City.

For example, Lord Ran Tianyun got another Spirit Sea Pearl from somewhere, but it was different from the last Spirit Sea Pearl, this time it was a second-level Spirit Sea Pearl!

Qi Ji couldn't help but be overjoyed.

He was already worried about not being able to activate the inspiration crystals enough times.

I'm considering whether to postpone other expenses, tighten my belt and save enough mental energy to complete the upgrade first.

Now, this pearl from the Spirit Sea can be used to activate "Dungeon and Fighter", and although the upgrade must be completed as soon as possible, there is no need to disrupt the current development rhythm.

As for the price?

Ran Tianyun directly sold it to Qi Ji at the cost price of 8 soul crystals.

Qi Ji did not have so many soul crystals in reserve, so he still followed the previous trading method. By expanding the territorial trade between the two sides, Miracle City would sell more firearms and ammunition to Tianyun City.

Ran Tianyun only needs to pay half of the purchase price, and the other half will be used to repay debts until all debts are paid off.

It will not affect the development of Miracle Territory, but will stimulate the territory's trade, achieving a win-win situation for both sides.

Several lords also each provided some very useful general drawings.

For example, this.

[Construction Blueprint: Dungeon Bank], a third-level rare blueprint, construction cost: 10000 soul crystals, 5000 materials, 3000 mental power.

This blueprint comes from Lord High Moon.

Although it has basically no effect on the territory, it is definitely a building facility that Miracle City urgently needs. It is also an important piece of the puzzle in building the territory's economic system and expanding the territory's commercial potential.

As the name suggests, a money shop must be related to money.

However, it is not a bank in the traditional sense that lends money and deposits money.

Although money houses have similar functions, the most important function for Miracle City is the "currency function".

A bank is a platform for minting and issuing coins in the territory.

Contribution points can be exchanged for physical currency at the bank.

Before the establishment of money houses, Miracle Territory Contribution Points were just a string of virtual, non-cashable numbers that did not have direct transaction properties.

Qi Ji can only distribute contribution points to adventurers and people in the territory.

Outsiders who are neither citizens of the territory nor adventurers cannot obtain contribution points.

This can make some transactions very troublesome, and usually requires using soul sand and soul crystals as a general equivalent, or directly bartering to complete the transaction.

There is a money house.

Adventurers or citizens of the territory.

Contribution points can be exchanged for physical currency.

Or convert physical currency into contribution points.

Non-territorial citizens can also directly collect Miracle City currency through business, and then use Miracle City currency to purchase various materials in Miracle City and purchase various territory services of Miracle Territory.

Qi Ji charges a small amount of handling fees or seigniorage during the conversion process. When the territory's economy is large enough and the business is prosperous enough, he can earn a lot of profit from the handling fees alone, and he can also build a more complete financial system based on this.

all in all.

Contribution point monetization.

It is a necessary step for the territory.

Qi Ji immediately built a money house in the territory.

Miracle coins were issued in three denominations: gold, silver, and bronze.

Each copper coin is worth 1 contribution point, each silver coin is worth 100 contribution points, and each gold coin is worth 1 contribution points. With these coin territories, business transactions will be more convenient.

In addition, the four lords also provided a lot of practical drawings. Qi Ji recorded all of them as debts and later paid them off one by one through territory trade. It is estimated that it will take eight to ten days to pay off all debts.

The four lords were very satisfied.

With the strength and potential of Miracle City.

They don't worry about the final payment at all.

These businesses themselves are not profitable, at best they can only be considered as breaking even. However, by deepening the cooperation with Miracle City and expanding the scale of trade, profits can be several times greater.

After the four lords left.

Qi Ji began to accelerate the pace of territory development.

He issued a territory mission, which is also the goal of today's strategy: to capture the Blood Howl Valley!
Blood Howl Valley is a second-level area.

Miracle City is currently nominally a second-level area.

The two areas were originally separated by Jinxi City and Heishui City, but during yesterday's territory development, these two places were taken over.

There is no buffer between Miracle City and Blood Howl City, forming a direct border.

This is just like what happened with the Thunder Swamp. In this way, there is no distinction between home and away games, and the high-end combat forces native to both sides' territories will not be bound by territorial rules.

There is no suspense in this battle!

Because the gap in strength is too big!
……

A few hours later.

Blood Howl City in Blood Howl Valley.

This city is about the same size as Thunder City, with a total population of nearly 10,000. Although the vast majority of them are neutral races enslaved by the Blood Gnolls, there are also two to three thousand dark gnolls.

The Blood Howl Lord himself has a third-level cultivation base, and each of the more than ten generals under his command has strength that is not weaker than the second level. This kind of power and combat power is very strong in the second-level area.

Lord Blood Howl was very anxious.

The rise of human dungeons is too fast.

He defeated the Thundering Swamp, which was of the same level as the Blood Howling Valley, more quickly.

Lord Blood Howl knew that his own strength and that of his territory's troops were similar to those of Thunder City, or even slightly inferior. Since Miracle City could capture Thunder City in a flash, it must be able to pose a fatal threat to Blood Howl City.

The gnoll lord was cautious and cunning by nature and did not dare to gamble.

That's why he ordered his Blackwater City to speed up the annexation of Jinxi City to deal with the threat.

If Blackwater City and Jinxi City were connected, they would form a larger first-level buffer zone, acting like a wall to block the invasion of high-level combat forces from Miracle City, thus ensuring the safety of the Blood Howl Valley to the greatest extent possible.

Never expected this.

Miracle City suddenly moved south and annexed Jinxi City and captured Blackwater City in one day.

At this moment, not only has the strategic buffer of the first-level area been lost, but the Blood Howling Valley and the Miracle Territory have become directly adjacent to each other, and a life-and-death battle is inevitable.

The only way now is to guard against it and delay time.

Lord Blood Howl judged that this was the reason why Thunder City was defeated so quickly.

Most likely, it was because the Thunder Lord was too reckless and was ambushed, resulting in a complete loss.

Then never leave the city!

All troops must defend the dangerous areas!

It can last at least ten days to half a month.

Blood Howl City and Thunder City are both subsidiary dungeons of the third-level dungeon Evil Wood City.

Now that Thunder City has fallen and Blood Howl City is also in danger, Xiemu City cannot sit idly by. It will send troops to support or directly confront Miracle City within three or two days at most.

Different from other first and second level dungeons.

The Phantom Trolls of Evilwood City are a branch of the forest trolls formed after being eroded by Chaos.

This dark species not only possesses terrifying power, but also has the qualifications to directly meet with the Eternal Night Dragon King and be protected by the Eternal Night Dragon King. Its status is incomparable to Thunder City, Blood Howl City and other first and second-level dark dungeons.

Lord Xiemu is the true subordinate of the Eternal Night Dragon King.

Although there are hundreds of dark lords under the rule of the Eternal Night Dragon King, and the Evil Wood Lord is a less prominent one among his many subordinates, he is fundamentally different from other first- and second-level wild territories.

The small wild territory can be destroyed.

But if a third-level territory is annexed, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the region.

It might attract the personal attention of the Eternal Night Dragon King, which would result in completely different consequences and a much more complicated situation.

The strength of the third-level territory is also very strong.

Lord Xiemu must also be annoyed by the loss of Thunder City.

However, there are many inconveniences for the third level to fight against the second level, and there is no way to capture Miracle City immediately. Now that another second-level brother is also threatened, he will have no choice but to provide full assistance.

Lord Blood Howl does not have the confidence to fight against Miracle City alone, but if he can get the full support of a third-level Dark Lord, he will have absolute confidence to defend his territory and turn this crisis into a development opportunity.

"Give me the order!"

"All troops on high alert!"

When Lord Blood Howl gave the order to defend the valley with all his might, he suddenly received a report from his subordinates that several strongholds in the valley were attacked and all communication was lost in an instant.

"The humans are attacking!"

"Be prepared to fight with all your strength."

"As long as we can hold out for a day or two, reinforcements will arrive!"

The Blood Howl Lord was about to activate all the defenses of the territory when suddenly a violent explosion sounded and the second-order barrier tower in the city was destroyed by C4 explosives, directly causing the strongest barrier to become ineffective.

The bright moon in the form of the Leech Queen shines on the snow.

Use the Leech clone to infiltrate Blood Howl City and deploy C4 bombs.

The Dark Race did not have enough knowledge about the means and weapons of Miracle City, so it was difficult for them to prepare for such means in advance. By the time they discovered it, it was already too late.

Without waiting to respond.

The roar of a helicopter was heard.

I saw six Black Hawk helicopters lined up in a row in the sky.

The adventurer carried a rocket launcher and fired rockets at Blood Howl City from a helicopter.

The rocket launcher is the latest unlocked second-tier premium equipment. The power of each shot is enough to pose a fatal threat to most second-tier units, and can even cause serious damage to most third-tier units.

Boom boom boom!
The rockets failed to destroy the defenses.

But it also constitutes a considerable consumption.

Other troops also appeared on the scene.

The red spider lily directly transformed into a cherry dragon and dragged the Blood Howl City and the surrounding area of ​​thousands of meters into the cherry dragon territory. Due to the drastic changes in the scene environment, a considerable number of traps and fortifications directly lost their effectiveness.

"attack!"

The Red Spider Lily brandished her seven swords, unleashing massive cyan sword energies that slashed through the Blood Howling City's defenses like a storm, successfully tearing a huge gap in the wall. "Kill!"

"It's time to make a contribution!"

"No one can snatch it from me. The Dark Lord is mine!"

"Bullshit, whoever has the ability gets it, everyone come together!"

"..."

Four Titan mechas led the way, including two Ronin Titans, one Flame Titan, and one Powerful Titan. Each of them could exert the combat power of the third level, and had powerful long-range machine guns that could suppress the werewolves.

Headless, Seven-Faced Samurai, Giant Ninja Owl, etc.

Miracle City dispatched at least seven or eight third-level units.

Even if we don't count the peak third-level Sakura Dragon Higanbana, Miracle City has dispatched at least a dozen third-level combat units.

As for the second-level existences, there are countless of them, from Tyrant, Tracker, G Creature, to Red Oni, Ashina General, Black Light Hunter, to the fighters in the King of Fighters world, the robots in the Titanfall world, the zombies and monsters in the Sui and Tang Dynasty world, etc.

The total number of second-level units is as many as one or two hundred, and there are more than ten types, nearly twenty types.

It is no exaggeration to describe such a scene as a parade of one hundred demons at night.

Lord Blood Howl was full of confidence just a moment ago. He thought that even if he could not defeat Miracle City, he could at least hold on to the city for a while. But now he was facing an army beyond his imagination.

He was completely dumbfounded!

……

About two or three hours later.

Qi Ji was teleported from the territory to the Blood Howling Valley.

The battle here has ended long ago, all the dark species have been annihilated, and the adventurers are gathering the corpses to facilitate the subsequent destruction to prevent future troubles.

"Report to the Lord!"

"The dark species in Blood Howl Valley have been initially cleared."

"We have already captured Blood Howl City and its six strongholds."

"In total, we killed over 3,800 dark creatures, seized 18,000 pieces of various extraordinary materials, and rescued over 8,000 enslaved local natives, primarily ordinary gnolls, kobolds, dwarves, and midgets."

Qi Ji was satisfied with the efficiency of the adventurers.

He was not stingy with rewards and gave contribution points to the adventurers who participated in the battle.

After this battle.

Miracle Territory will own seven cities.

There are three main cities and four secondary cities.

The four secondary cities are: Green Swamp City, Golden Creek City, Blackwater City, and Blood Howl City.

The three main cities are: the core main city Miracle City, the first-level main city Dark City, and the second-level main city Thunder City.

of course.

The core of the Blood Howling City secret realm has been destroyed.

You need to reinstall the secret core to enable it.

Otherwise, this would just be an ordinary territory city and would not be able to create a secret realm.

In addition to the seven cities, there are fifty-nine strongholds of various sizes, mainly villages, passes, and tribes.

The territory currently owned by Qi Ji is rapidly and steadily increasing in terms of size, population and military strength. It is now no less than a senior third-level territory that has been operating for ten or eight years.

【Spiritual Power -5000!】

[You have refined the Blood Howl City Core, "Chaos Chest (Green)" +1!]

Qi Ji refined the divine stones and cores of the various strongholds in Blood Howl City and Blood Howl Valley. Although the process consumed a total of more than 7,000 mental powers, and although the expenditure was not small, he also gained several Chaos Treasure Chests.

Open the treasure chest as soon as possible.

Each treasure chest can more or less contain soul crystals.

Some lucky treasure chests may contain blueprints or rare materials.

The most noteworthy treasure chest among these is the Blood Howl City treasure chest, which is a second-level city.

[You opened a Chaos Treasure Chest, Soul Crystals +18000, "Skill Secret Crystal: Lord's Blessing", "Blueprint: Named Sanctuary" +1!]

A third-level skill secret crystal!
A rare second-level blueprint!
The third-level lord's secret skill "Lord's Gift".

This is a good skill that requires 5000 mental power to master.

Its effect is to bless the adventurer by consuming his mental energy, causing his spirit fusion degree to increase dramatically in a short period of time.

This skill has two limitations.

1. The target to be blessed must have a cultivation level lower than that of the lord.

2. The target of the blessing cannot have a cultivation level higher than the blessing level.

The current level of this skill is level three.

Qi Ji is currently a fourth-rank lord.

Therefore, it is only effective for level 3 adventurers at most.

Qi Ji was very satisfied!

Many of the lord's secret skills can directly improve combat power, but since he generally does not need to personally participate in the battle, the auxiliary lord skills are more valuable and practical.

For a leader, being able to empower or train subordinates is an important ability and bargaining chip.

Qi Ji has the "Lord's Blessing Technique", which can quickly improve the strength of the territory's confidants in the future, or place blessing opportunities in various rare tasks, which is bound to attract a large number of adventurers.

The Lord's Blessing is good.

But in order to save resources, I didn't learn it immediately.

Qi Ji first built a second-level rare building named the Temple.

The function of this facility is to summon spirit units of a named type.

A named unit in a named temple.

Monster units in monster camps.

Although they are all summoned through spirits.

But the latter are just consumables, without thoughts or feelings, and are pure soldiers.

The former, however, are permanent citizens. Because they have thoughts and can practice cultivation, they can be trained to become cadres, generals, heroes of the dungeon, or the right-hand man of the lord.

This facility is pretty useless for most territories.

But it can play a significant role for Miracle Territory

This is also the reason why Qi Ji decisively created it.

The only named soul that Qi Ji currently has in stock is Yongzhen from the Ashina Country. To summon Yongzhen, not only does he need a spirit and a sanctuary, he also needs to collect a precious material called the Heroic Soul Stone.

After failing to acquire in one's own trading market.

He then told Ran Tianyun, Ren Wanxiong and others about the relevant needs.

Qi Ji's original intention was to draw the attention of several lords. After all, the Heroic Soul Stone was a rare material. Although the rank of a second-level rare treasure was not high, it was not something that could be obtained casually. It depended on fate.

Never thought about it.

Li Jianhan knows a partner.

He just happened to have a second-level heroic soul stone in his hand.

Qi Ji then spent 2.2 soul crystals to buy the Heroic Soul Stone from the other party, and then used the spirit and the named temple to officially summon the first named unit of the Miracle Territory.

"Greetings, Lord!"

A gentle and peaceful voice sounded in the lord's hall.

A young woman in a dark purple kimono was kneeling in front of Qi Ji.

Her facial features are delicate and soft, her eyes are calm and steady, her makeup is simple and elegant, and her temperament is restrained.

This person is no one else.

It's Yongzhen from Sekiro.

Her appearance is not much different from that in the secret realm or the game, but she seems to be a little younger. Both her appearance and temperament have improved slightly. She is no longer worried and melancholy, but looks more dignified and steady.

A game character appeared before my eyes.

Can communicate normally.

Qi Ji also found it very interesting.

Named units are essentially a type of spirit summoned unit.

Although the named ones have intelligent souls and independent thoughts, they are like the monster soldiers in the monster camp. They are absolutely and forcibly bound to the territory and the lord, so they are often absolutely loyal and have no second thoughts.

This type of unit is suitable to become the lord's confidant.

Some particularly outstanding ones can also be trained to become heroes of the territory.

Each named temple can only provide five named units. If you want to summon more or higher-level named ones, you must find a way to build more temples and upgrade the building level.

Look at it this way.

The places are quite valuable.

Yongzhen is not a very powerful character overall.

However, Qi Ji currently has no other named souls.

The temple is empty anyway, so why not summon a named person to use it as a makeshift?

Although Yongzhen herself is not powerful, she is introverted, steady, dignified, careful and considerate. She is suitable to be trained to become the head maid of the lord's mansion, serving tea and water to the lord, conveying his wishes, communicating with adventurers, etc.

Qi Ji then said, "From now on, you will serve as the chief steward of the lord's mansion, responsible for all matters big and small within the mansion."

Yong Zhen bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your trust, my lord. I will do my best to complete every task you assign."

Although the memories of Ashina Country are still in my mind.

But from the moment Yongzhen arrived in the Miracle Territory, she automatically received various relevant information, and thus knew that the existence in front of her was her creator and absolute master.

No lord.

There would be no Ashina.

It is even more impossible to exist as yourself.

Yongzhen's heart is full of respect, gratitude and submission to the lord, and defending the lord and Miracle City is to defend the entire Ashina world and everything he wanted to protect in the past.

Even if there is no binding and branding at the soul level.

Yongzhen will also willingly serve this great being as his Lord.

Qi Ji's territory is getting bigger and bigger, and he is in need of more people at this moment. He is of course very satisfied to have a subordinate who is absolutely loyal, can be trusted, and has a good image and temperament.

But the territory is developing so fast.

Having only one assistant-type subordinate is not enough.

Qi Ji needs more subordinates who can stand on their own and have greater potential.

This can be done by finding and cultivating local natives, such as Nancylia, or by obtaining various named souls in the secret realm to create powerful named units.

This marks the end of today's development and construction.

Although they had successfully expanded the territory and occupied the Blood Howling Valley, and had also built a territory to summon the first named person, the new secret realm that was planned to be built could not be created, and the construction of the first batch of houses in the territory was still in the process of preparing materials and resources.

Not in a hurry.

At this moment, Artus should have returned to Thousand Lakes City.

It is expected that everything will be ready within a day or two, allowing the territory to establish a resident base in Qianhu City. It will not be too late to launch the online game secret realm "Arad Continent" at the same time.

As for the first batch of territory residences?

It is still in planning and preparation.

Qi Ji’s announcement to the adventurers was to complete it within five days.

There are still more than three days left until the agreed time.

Miracle Territory is in a stage of rapid development. There is too much that requires investment and effort. Now we must remain calm and move forward steadily according to the plan!
The closure of the city is over.

The time to open the city has arrived.

A new day of adventure begins again!
