Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 199: Completely Overwhelmed

This deal.

It was finally achieved.

Before launching the online game secret realm.

Qi Ji thought that adventurers would have an increasingly strong demand for trading.

This demand not only applies to face-to-face online and offline transactions, but also cross-regional transactions, so it is natural to upgrade and improve relevant facilities.

Launch of Miracle Coin.

Grant contribution points circulation attributes.

It is one of the important infrastructure.

Miracle Coins will serve as a universal currency across all secret realms. Not only can they be used to purchase various services in the territory, but they can also be used to purchase various value-added services and in-app purchase items in all secret realms, thereby greatly increasing the use scenarios of Miracle Coins.

Other than that.

Soul crystals are recognized as hard currency.

It is also a resource that the territory needs to recycle.

It has also been incorporated into the dungeon's trading system.

Qi Ji allows adventurers to use soul crystals for cross-regional payments.

Visaros only needs to hand over 1000 soul crystals to the territory personnel of Qianhu City, have them deposited in the territory warehouse and transferred to the main warehouse of Miracle City. Miracle City will then pay the soul crystals or converted contribution points to Lucky Grass, the trading party.

Because it is encouraged to use territory currency for settlement.

Therefore, cross-regional transactions of soul crystals will be subject to transaction taxes and service fees of up to 20%.

If you pay soul crystals to receive contribution points, each soul crystal is exchanged for one contribution point, and the combined tax rate and service fees are halved, which is 10%.

in other words.

When the deal is done through territory.

Lucky Grass can choose to obtain 800 soul crystals or 900 contribution points.

Although a lot of handling fees were charged, for a seventeen-year-old first-level adventurer, this was still a very considerable income, no different from winning the lottery.

Hesitated for less than three seconds.

He decisively chose to accept the contribution points.

Chasing the Wind Old Boy: "Xiaocao, you have to think carefully. That's 800 soul crystals, equivalent to 8 soul sands. You're just giving it up like that? If it were us in the past, we would have to starve for several years to earn that much!"

"I believe in Miracle City!"

Lucky Grass's eyes were shining at this moment.

"Haha, with a secret realm as interesting and fun as the 'Arad Continent', why should we worry about not being able to earn Soul Sand in the future? What we should really worry about is that the dungeon will be too popular and we won't be able to squeeze in at all!"

The old boy chasing the wind was stunned for a moment: "That seems to make sense..."

Lucky Grass said with a determined look, "With these contribution points, I can stay in the territory permanently, or even move to Miracle City. Don't even mention that contribution points are 100 more than soul crystals. Even if the numbers are the same, I will definitely choose contribution points!"

"Well said, it's a wise choice. Young people should take a long-term view!"

Pang Dahai then said, "As far as I know, there are many prominent figures in Miracle City who want to exchange Soul Crystals for Contribution Points but are worried about not having enough money. You have definitely made the right choice!"

All the other adventurers envied Lucky Grass.

"Damn it! This guy is really lucky!"

"Ahhh! I'm so envious!"

“We have to work hard too!”

"The Arad continent is not only incredibly fun, but it also contains countless secret levels crammed into one secret realm where you can explore and fight with your companions. It also holds the opportunity to make a fortune and change your destiny. What secret realm could be better than this?!"

"It will be a hit in less than a day!"

"Must earn contribution points!"

"..."

The adventurers were full of enthusiasm for a while.

Explore the continent of Arad with even greater efforts.

Pang Dahai was also extremely excited at this moment!
He knew that Lord Qi was powerful, but he didn't expect him to be so powerful. The continent of Arad is different from any secret realm in Miracle City. The mechanism and gameplay of this secret realm have amazing potential and prospects!

I made the right choice!
In fact, a broken autumn leaf knife was sold for a thousand soul crystals.

This kind of thing.

Don’t say adventurers can’t think of it.

Qi Ji was surprised at the lich's heroism.

Perhaps a thousand soul crystals are nothing to a thousand-year-old lich with enormous power.

The problem is that what he bought was not a real piece of equipment, but just a virtual asset that existed in a secret realm. Moreover, it was only a transitional weapon of level 5 that was expected to be used for only a few days.

Don't even mention the Autumn Leaf Knife.

Even the famous Flowing Star Knife.

Qi Ji created it in the secret realm at no cost.

He can copy countless swords with just a thought... If he could sell all of them to adventurers, the value that could be generated is unimaginable!
But through this transaction.

Qi Ji also realized some of the troubles in cross-regional transactions.

Especially for non-territory adventurers, these adventurers do not have contribution points. It is not only very troublesome to use soul crystals to trade every time, but also impossible to maximize the benefits of the territory in the process.

It is necessary to speed up the free exchange of Miracle Coins!
Qi Ji plans to open the account opening function of the territory bank to external adventurers and even non-adventurers.

For example, if an adventurer or merchant in Qianhu City needs Miracle Coins, he can apply for a Miracle Coin account in the Qianhu City Adventurer Workshop and directly exchange Soul Crystals for Miracle Coins.

If you don’t want to take risks in Miracle Territory in the future.

Or you may need to use the income from business settlement to withdraw soul crystals.

They can also exchange the miracle coins in their hands for soul crystals.

The current exchange rate is constant at 1:1.

1 Soul Crystal for 1 Miracle City Copper Coin.

Qi Ji has been building an efficient territory financial system. In order to ensure the stability and credibility of the financial system, he cannot only allow soul crystals to be exchanged for miracle coins, otherwise the currency will be completely anchored to the territory's credibility.

These adventurers who trust Qi Ji are of course very confident, but adventurers who have never been to Miracle City or businessmen who just want to come and do business will definitely have concerns.

In theory after all.

Qi Ji can issue unlimited coins.

But the soul crystals in their hands are real gold and silver.

Therefore, in order to increase the gold content of Miracle Coins, it is allowed to exchange Miracle Coins for Soul Crystals. This will definitely attract many businessmen and adventurers who want to make money to come to Miracle Territory to explore business opportunities.

of course.

To ensure stability.

Currently, there is a limit on exchanging soul crystals for miracle coins or vice versa. In addition, a certain percentage of seigniorage tax is charged for each exchange.

For example, currently a 10% minting tax is charged for exchanging soul crystals for miracle coins, while a 5% minting tax is charged for exchanging miracle coins for soul crystals.

Why is the currency exchange tax even higher?
the reason is simple.

Currently, the contribution points in Miracle City are in short supply, and almost no one is stupid enough to exchange contribution points for soul crystals. Adventurers believe that the current value of 1 contribution point is much higher than 1 soul crystal, and everyone is more willing to exchange soul crystals for miracle coins.

Therefore, charging 10% is not high.

In other words, the current circulation of Miracle Coin is not enough and the stock is too small.

Otherwise, adventurers would definitely develop underground banks and black markets. Some adventurers would be willing to spend 3 soul crystals for 2 copper coins, or 2 soul crystals or even more soul crystals for 1 copper coin.

The value of territory currency is not the more it appreciates the better; stability is the most important thing.

So in the future, in addition to increasing the money supply.

Seigniorage may be further increased.

This move is a means of stabilizing the currency.

To prevent excessive appreciation from causing deflation and affecting economic development.

Qi Ji will also increase the issuance of miracle coins and regularly open up services for his subjects to directly redeem contribution points.

For example, Meng Yinxue exchanged 1 soul crystals for 1 contribution points in order to buy a house. No fees were charged during the exchange process. Contribution points are bound for personal use and are not tradable. If the contribution points are exchanged for tradable miracle coins, a seigniorage tax must also be paid.

Qi Ji's main purpose in doing all these operations is to make money. He keeps switching between contribution points, miracle coins, and soul crystals. In the future, he can make a lot of money even if he just does nothing in the territory.

However, as the territory develops.

Financial matters will become increasingly complex.

It is necessary to train a chancellor for the territory.

……

The Autumn Leaf Knife transaction had a significant impact on the territory.

Many adventurers have realized that a considerable industry will be formed around the "Continent of Arad" in the future. This will not only bring huge income to Miracle City, but also provide many adventurers with the opportunity to make a fortune.

Kobold Rook decided to take his chance.

Because the Gnolls have no talents or skills, and their tribe is extremely poor.

However, thanks to their early joining of Miracle City, more than a dozen ogre adventurers were born.

This is a significant advantage!

Luke decided to mobilize his tribe to form a Gnoll gold-farming group to fight in Arad. While working hard to upgrade, they also tried their best to earn gold coins and equipment, and to trade and scalp to earn more income for the tribe.

This secret place.

It will definitely be very popular in the future.

There will be new people coming in at every stage.

As the level of the Gnolls increases, we can develop the business of taking people to clear maps in the future, which can bring a considerable income to the tribe and cultivate more Gnoll adventurers.

"Bros!"

"We, the Kobolds, have no advantages over other races."

"Therefore, becoming an adventurer in the territory is one of the few opportunities to change your fate!"

"Applying for an adventurer position requires a considerable amount of contribution points, so our future goal is to serve the territory and the lord, and do everything we can to earn contribution points and revitalize the tribe!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"..."

The dog-headed people shouted excitedly.

A bright future seems to be waving to them!
Once the gnolls recognize their masters, they will be extremely loyal. The lord has given them the opportunity to change their fate, and they will repay the lord with absolute loyalty.

Of course, even the dog-headed man can think of it.

Other adventurer organizations, as well as gnomes, flower fairies, and dwarves can naturally be thought of. At this moment, they all expressed their concern about the development of the secret realm of the Arad continent.

……

at the same time.

Thousand Lake City Adventure Hall.

Vesaros got the Autumn Leaf Knife.

This sword is a standard samurai sword, but it is red all over and exudes a flame.

"What a weapon!"

“Not only is it powerful!”

"It also includes various formations and secret techniques."

"It can effectively increase attack speed and release speed, and can also convert a large part of the damage caused into fire damage. It is definitely the nemesis of monsters and creatures weak to fire."

"..."

Visaros was very satisfied with this weapon, even though he spent 1000 soul crystals just to buy such a low-level weapon. In the eyes of others, he was just a fool with a lot of money and was simply a sucker.

But with this knife.

Not only did the combat effectiveness increase greatly.

Even Artus came again to ask whether to continue forming a team.

Visaros couldn't help but feel secretly happy. This stubborn old elf actually took the initiative to find him to team up. Just for this reason, the thousand soul crystals were well worth spending.

"Continue the challenge, but this time we need to find two more helpers and make full preparations before launching the challenge!"

"I agree!"

Artus still hates liches.

It is impossible for elves and undead to become friends.

But now Vesaros has weapons like the "Autumn Leaf Knife".

At this moment, his combat power is much higher than that of other adventurers. Teaming up with him is to use him to help the elves improve their strength, so we can only endure the humiliation!
Everyone can see the potential of the continent of Arad.

If you can walk faster than other adventurers, you will have a great advantage, and these advantages can eventually be transformed into various benefits and advantages. For the revival of the elves, it is inevitable to pretend to be a snake.

soon.

Two more people were formed.

There was one elf and one undead.

Sharpshooter Nancy Lea joins the team.

Visaros called over his most trusted fourth-level undead knight, Akru.

And this Akru chose the identity of a fighter in the secret realm. After the four of them formed a team, they did not challenge the Venomous Thunder Ruins immediately, but instead went through four rounds of Thunder Ruins to challenge Thunder Kaynor to practice their coordination.

at the same time.

Gain experience for leveling up.

Eventually they all reached level 7.

During this process, I also got a lot of equipment which although not of high quality were usable enough to improve my combat power.

In this way, the combat effectiveness of the four people was greatly increased.

Officially launched a challenge to the Venomous Thunder Ruins.

Bang bang bang!
Vesaros brandished the Autumn Leaf Knife in his hand, slashing at the cat demon again and again. Each attack caused a burst of fire, and the fire damage had a special damage bonus for this kind of hairy beast-like enemy.
-
81!
-
101!
-
168 (Critical Hit)!

An ordinary cat demon can be killed with just three or two strikes.

Even if you encounter an elite cat demon, you can solve it in about six strikes.

The Toxic Thunder Ruins are full of poisonous swamps, miasma, carnivorous plants, and extremely poisonous thorns. It is impossible to stay in such a place for a long time, but having a good weapon with fire attributes can really make things more efficient and sweep through the place.

The four successfully reached the Poison Cat King's lair. They split up!

As a sharpshooter, Nancylia covered Visaros in his fight against the leader, the Poison Cat King, while Artus and Akru were responsible for dealing with the cat demons and other monsters coming from all directions.

With the cooperation of the four, the chaotic situation was quickly stabilized.

The Poison Cat King's vitality was about to be exhausted. It realized the danger and immediately tried to distance itself.

"Floating bomb!"

Nancy Liya hit the Poison King with a floating bomb. This skill had a very good knock-up effect, interrupting the Poison King's attack on the spot and knocking it into the air and flying back towards Vesaros.

good chance!
Quickly avoid the attack of a dark curse cat demon.

Visaros wielded the Autumn Leaf Blade with both hands, purple-black energy wrapped around the blade, and a powerful ghost slash hit the Poison Cat King.
-
242 (Critical Hit)!

The Poison Cat King's health bar was completely depleted.

This powerful BOSS was chopped into pieces with a wail.

"Won!"

Everyone looked happy.

Another copy was completed.

Next comes the much-anticipated unboxing session.

Akru and Artus each opened a piece of armor, Nancylia opened a level 5 blue mahogany staff, and as for Visaros, who contributed the most, he opened an empty box and only got 150 gold coins.

"Humph, I just don't believe it!"

Vesaros looked depressed and unwilling.

I have currently saved more than two thousand Arad gold coins.

Vesalos made up his mind and decided to spend money to open the paid treasure chest.

It turns out that "Arad Continent" also replicated DNF in the box-opening (flipping) process. One of the basic reward treasure chests is free, and adventurers can spend money to open another paid treasure chest.

Compared with DNF game.

The gold output in the continent of Arad is lower and the value will be slightly higher.

Whether it is learning skills or repairing equipment, a lot of gold coins are needed for maintenance. Strengthening equipment in the future will be a bottomless pit. Currently, adventurers have very few gold coins, so they generally do not choose paid treasure chests.

however.

Open the paid treasure chest in a moment.

A piece of equipment with a purple name appeared before my eyes.

"Purple equipment is out again!"

"No way? The second piece of purple equipment!"

"It seems Lord Vesaros is about to reach a higher level!"

"..."

Vesaros was also very happy.

This time, the item that was revealed was a level 6 necklace.

[Touch of Shadow], level 6 purple package, intelligence +10, spirit +12, dark attribute resistance +6, restores 20 mana points per minute, durability 12/30.

Nice equipment!
However, this equipment does not seem to have much of an effect on the Ghost Swordsman.

Artus immediately said, "Vissaros, this equipment is of no use to you. Why don't you sell it to me for 500 soul crystals?"

Vesaros said unhappily, "Elder Artus, you don't think I'm short of a mere 500 soul crystals, do you?"

That's right.

This guy has an amazing fortune.

He could spend 1000 soul crystals to buy the Autumn Leaf Knife without blinking an eye.

How could he possibly sell the Shadow Touch Necklace for just 500 soul crystals?
Vesaros thought for a moment and said, "The price is 3 Arad gold coins."

Open a box for 1000 gold coins and sell it for 3 gold coins.

It increased thirty times in the blink of an eye!
What a good idea.

Vesaros said, "I see there are nearly a hundred elves currently farming Arad. If everyone pools their Arad gold coins, I think it won't be difficult to get 3 gold coins."

Theoretically possible.

But how could Artus let the lich take such a big advantage?
This guy is trying to weaken the elves... How can he succeed in such a treacherous scheme!
"That's it!"

Seeing that Artus was not angry.

Vesalus also sighed.

"Never mind. After all, we are partners now. I'll lend you this necklace. When your elves obtain equivalent Ghost Swordsman equipment, you can give it to me in exchange."

That's pretty much it!
Another 500 Arad gold coins were spent.

Buy a level 5 blue mahogany staff from Nancy Liya.

Artus immediately felt very proud. With the purple necklace and level 5 blue staff, his strength increased a lot, and he was not much inferior to the old lich.

“Don’t waste time!”

"Let's continue challenging the secret realm!"

"The next picture is Graka."

"Don't worry, we're not ready yet."

"First, level up a few 'Venomous Thunder Ruins' before challenging Laka!"

"..."

Through the main quest, the adventurer guides Celia and learns that Graka is an important area of ​​Gran Forest, and currently guarding it is the Minotaur King Sauta, whose strength is definitely far greater than that of Luo Leikaino and the Poison Cat King.

Don’t underestimate it!
What's more, the minimum entry level requirement is level 9.

The four of them are almost reaching level 8, but there is still a certain distance from the entry threshold.

however.

at this time.

Nancy Liya: "Wait, Elder Artus, Lord Vesaros, I received an important intelligence!"

Artus asked, "What?"

Nancy Liya said, "An adventurer from Miracle City has found a skill instructor. We can go back to town and learn skills first. This will greatly increase our strength and speed up our dungeon clearing efficiency!"

what?
Skill instructor?
Everyone is already level 7 and has several skill points, but they didn’t know how to use them. It turns out they are used to learn skills!

Vesaros immediately asked, "Do you know where the Ghost Swordsman's mentor is?"

Nancy Liya immediately said, "In the deepest part of the back streets of Huttonmar, there is a place called the Ghost Swordsman Dojo. Its founder is a powerful swordsman named GSD. He has been helping the Ghost Swordsmen afflicted by the Kazan Plague and teaching them swordsmanship."

Akru: "So what about the fighter's mentor?"

Nancy Liya inquired and replied, "The fighter's instructor is Feng Zhen, the owner of the Fengquan Martial Arts School. He's said to be a well-known top master in Xu Country. He personally seeks out and teaches fighters with outstanding qualifications..."

The sharpshooter mentor is Kelly who came down from heaven.

The magician mentor is the president of the Magic Guild, the dark elf Sharan from Dark City.

Adventurers can tell from the identities and races of these mentors that Huttonmar is indeed a place where masters from all corners of the world gather. It is no exaggeration to say that this is a place where hidden dragons and crouching tigers are hidden!

No nonsense.

The four of them returned immediately.

To save time for adventurers.

When adventurers return to town from the dungeon, they can go directly to any place in the town in their area.

Visaros quickly found the Ghost Swordsman Dojo in the back street. He heard at least twenty or thirty swordsmen practicing inside, and bursts of powerful teaching voices reached his ears.

"The sword will not hesitate!"

"The sword cuts the flesh, the heart cuts the soul!"

"Listen with your ears, and cut with your heart!"

"..."

As soon as Visaros entered the dojo, he was attracted by a figure.

This is a swordsman who is about 50 years old, with a slightly hunched figure but still tall.
Although he has a bald head, he looks more capable and tough. He is blind and wrapped in cloth strips. He wears a black coat and carries several swords of different lengths on his back.

Vesaros has extensive experience.

You can judge a person's strength from his demeanor.

This person is definitely one of the most outstanding and powerful swordsmen on this continent.

Although he was blind, he could move freely and unaffected. His movements revealed confidence and composure. Perhaps his years of swordsmanship training and teaching his disciples gave him the majestic aura of a master.

"Swordsman... Your hand is covered in blood, but you don't seem to know how to use it properly."

"I have come here to visit you, admiring your reputation, specifically to seek your advice."

Next.

Vesaros successfully joined the Ghost Sword Dojo.

All he has to do next is spend skill points and pay some fees to learn the Ghost Swordsman skills from GSD.

Continuous thrust, silver falling blade, cross slash, wave slash, moonlight slash, mountain collapse strike...

When skills appeared before his eyes one by one, Visaros' eyes lit up immediately. It was said that these were only the basic skills of the Ghost Swordsman. When he reached level 18, he could come to GSD for further training and become a more powerful advanced Ghost Swordsman.

interesting!
It was so much fun!

Vesalus found the world more and more interesting.

It not only has a unique painting style, exciting plot, and mysterious worldview that makes people want to explore and delve deeper, but each character in the plot is also vivid.

The combat mechanism, trading system, social attributes, etc. are all addictive.

Even Vesaros, the old monster who has lived for a thousand years.

He also felt the intense pleasure he had not felt for a long time.

There's even a feeling of being unable to extricate myself.

He just felt that what he was doing in this secret realm was not an adventure at all. The ghost swordsman he played would never be reset or disappear. This was completely a second life in a special alien world.

how many years?

How many years have I had?

Haven't you ever had this feeling?

Vesaros comes to this adventure hall.

Just to find an opportunity to get close to this old man Artus.

I never thought that once I entered Arad, I would be so addicted and unable to stop.

……

Today is the opening time of the city.

More than half of the time has passed.

Qi Ji's mirror projection had long since become ineffective.

At this moment, his consciousness returned to his original body in the lord's mansion.

"My lord, please have some tea..." Yongzhen respectfully brought a cup of freshly brewed tea, then slowly stood up and stepped back, standing respectfully aside.

Qi Ji is also paying attention to the adventures of adventurers from all over the country.

It has to be said that as the first truly online game in the territory, the launch of Arad Continent has a huge impact on many adventurers. The current number of simultaneous online users has exceeded 1,500 and is heading towards 2,000.

Such high popularity.

Even Qi Ji didn't expect it.

Adventurers from all over the world had never seen such a way of playing before, and they were all so addicted that they couldn't stop.

Qi Ji couldn't help but complain again that these country bumpkins had never seen the world. They had only reached so far, and the progress of Gran Forest was only halfway through. The real excitement of the Arad continent was yet to come!

but.

The secret realm ran for half a day.

Some problems also arose.

First of all, the output of this secret realm is very rich, including various special firearms, weapons, medicines, equipment, etc., and the explosion rate is quite considerable. The only thing that makes people feel depressed is.

The number of spirits produced so far is extremely small.

But this shouldn’t be the case!

The continent of Arad is rich in monster materials, not only of high quality but also in large quantities. It should be a good place to collect spirits.

How come the explosion rate is so low?

The only reasonable explanation is a mechanism problem.

The level mechanism of the Arad continent is equivalent to official cheating.

When adventurers defeat monsters affected by the game level, the probability of extracting their spirits is greatly reduced.

"This secret realm still has flaws...it needs some patches!"

How to patch? In the original DNF, each dungeon has normal level, adventure level, warrior level, king level and abyss mode, etc., corresponding to different difficulties and mechanisms.

Qi Ji can also add difficulty options and abyss mode to these copies.

In addition, a "return to nature mode" is added!
What is the "return to truth mode"?

This mode is unique to Miracle City. When adventurers challenge dungeons in this mode, the level effects and health bar effects of all monsters, including the adventurer's own, will disappear.

In other words.

The BOSS should have the required cultivation level.

BOSS can show its true strength!
If the adventurer can defeat it in this state, although no secret realm loot will be produced, there is a higher probability of the corresponding spirit being exploded.

After applying this patch.

The adventurer's gameplay is even richer.

It not only ensures the output of spirits, but also allows adventurers to realize that some bosses that seem ordinary in the early stages actually have quite amazing strength!
That's it!

Just as Qi Ji was about to continue observing.

A piece of heavy news broke out in the lobby of Miracle City.

"Oh my god... everyone, come quickly, a big guy has dropped a fourth-level spirit!"
