Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 216 Background
In the last half month.

The territory is in a period of rapid development.

It's impossible for Boss Qi to lie on the beach in Los Santos every day, sunbathing and looking at bikini girls.

He had already completed a new round of development planning for the territory and prepared some updated content for the secret realm in advance, so he was able to release the latest updated content of the territory through the territory announcement as soon as the adventurer achieved a breakthrough in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

This round of secret realm updates will be divided into two rounds: "sequel derivative content" and "new secret realm content".

Qi Ji has been focusing most of his energy on the former during this period.

What is a sequel?

As the name suggests.

This is an update based on the existing secret realm.

This kind of update does not require the activation of new Spirit Sea Crystals to obtain materials. The existing material inventory can be used to add a lot of content to the territory, and the amount of materials Qi Ji currently has is very large.

If the total material reserve is 100.

Currently, only a single digit percentage of them have been used.

With so many remaining reserve materials, it is theoretically possible to create completely different new secret realms by hand. It just takes a little more time.

Of course, there is no need to spend time and effort on purely original work for the time being.

It’s like Qi Ji still has more than a dozen different biochemical series works that have not been adapted.

From the original Resident Evil series to various derivative games, movies, TV shows, animations, etc., it is enough to continuously update high-quality secret realm content for the "Resident Evil Past" chapter of the Frenzy Secret Realm.

As of now, six chapters have been updated in the Frenzy Biochemical series.

Each chapter is adapted from the original work. Although each chapter is not too long, the plot and quality are remarkable. Characters such as Leon have become one of the popular figures in Miracle City.

Qi Ji will not only continue to create the biochemical series chapters for a long time.

The "Black Light Advent" in the Frenzy Secret Realm is a special paid secret realm. It is currently quite popular in Miracle City and creates huge profits for the territory. It is a project that deserves special attention.

current.

Based on the second generation of Prototype.

The "Dark Prototype" produced for the Black Light arc has been completed.

This sequel or DLC is one of the major content updates announced in this announcement.

Every adventurer who gets the "Dark Prototype" ending can unlock this DLC, thereby playing the role of the second-generation Black Brother from the original work and becoming the new protagonist to challenge the blackened version of Brother A.

As a paid secret realm.

To ensure an adventurer's experience.

Prototype 2 continues the previous generation's refreshing and bloody mowing style.

However, the second generation of the original work was obviously not produced with as much care as the first generation, and it lacked innovation and the character portrayal was not profound enough.

To ensure adventurers get their money's worth.

Qi Ji made extensive optimizations based on the second-generation original.

Miracle City's "Dark Prototype DLC" is not only larger in size and has a wider range of exploration, it also has more exciting and exciting side battles. More importantly, it greatly enhances the strength, oppression, and expressiveness of the blackened Brother A.

Overall it will be more exciting and fun.

This content will be available tomorrow.

This incident has caused a huge sensation and discussion among the adventurer community, because the BOSS of the "Dark Prototype" has been confirmed to be the dark version of Brother A.

It’s such a gimmick!
Let adventurers challenge themselves to create and cultivate the protagonist.

This kind of imagination and creativity is very fresh and interesting for adventurers.

Qi Ji cleverly divided the world line of the Black Light chapter into two. The blackened Brother A is just a DLC derived from the bad ending, not an orthodox sequel.

Adventurers are also completely emotionally receptive.

When you think about defeating Brother A, there is a greater chance of getting the spirit.

You can imagine how excited these adventurers were!

Everyone knows that at the end of the Dark Light chapter, whether he defeated the Supreme Hunter to achieve a good ending or was absorbed by the Supreme Hunter and turned evil, Alex eventually evolved into a monster whose body could survive a nuclear bomb.

This is not only a powerful fourth-order spirit, but is also very likely of rare treasure quality!

If you can get this spirit, you will be invincible in terms of survival ability and special operations!
Whether it is a gimmick or a reward.

Or the refreshing experience of the secret realm itself.

It’s all worth looking forward to!
Therefore, when the relevant content of the "Dark Prototype" was released through the Adventurer's Guild in the form of an announcement, hundreds of adventurers were discussing the matter in the Adventurer's Forum, the Miracle City Forum, and offline taverns, and the topic was very heated.

Alex's super popularity and strength.

This has created great expectations among adventurers.

Everyone can’t wait to experience the super cool new black light story!

of course.

Qi Ji cannot favor one over the other.

Just keep an eye on the Doomsday Tide Secret Realm for updates.

Miracle City and the two main secret realms of Ten Kingdoms and Star Sea can all be updated.

The Records of the Ten Kingdoms has two main chapters: Ashina and Sui and Tang.

Although it was said that they would consider making an Inner Court DLC for the Ashina chapter, considering that the Japanese materials currently available are not enough to make a dark shogunate with sufficient characteristics, this matter has been put on hold for the time being.

There is no shortage of secret places in the territory.

There is no need to create a secret realm of insufficient quality just to make up the numbers.

Qi Ji has high expectations for the quality of secret realms. He either doesn't do it or he does it to the best of his ability.

As for the sequel to the Sui and Tang Dynasties?
There are no problems or difficulties in production.

Qi Ji originally planned to adapt "Beyond the Clouds and Mountains" to complete the story of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, or to create a DLC around the first and second generation protagonists, namely Immortal Weng and Immortal Gu Yue. The relevant clues and foreshadowings had already been laid.

With the huge library of materials accumulated from previous Xuan-Yuan Sword works in hand.

If Qi Ji creates a sequel to Yunshan, he will definitely be able to make up for the regret of the original work's lack of completion in the later stage, and finally present to adventurers a Kaiyuan Period of the Tang Dynasty that is full of the fantasy style of Shanhaijing and magnificent.

Other materials can also be used.

It further enriched France, Venice, and the countries in the Arab region.

This creates a long magical journey that is more in line with the dark and strange worldview of the exotic Ten Kingdoms.

The issue is.

It's too early to release it now.

Currently, only Higanbana has completed the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter, and has only discovered one ending in the main Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter, while Qi Ji has created at least eight different endings in the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter.

There are several tragic endings from the original work, as well as several relatively more acceptable endings, but they are hidden very deeply and the conditions for achieving them are extremely harsh.

The main story of Shenzhou is too large.

There is simply no way to fully explore it in a few months.

Why rush to release the sequel and expansion?

However, although the two main stories of Romance of the Ten Kingdoms will not be updated with derivative or sequel content in the short term, the creation of a third new chapter can be put on the agenda immediately.

Finally, there is the third main secret realm, "Star Sea".

Qi Ji also made updates and plans.

After all, it is the latest main secret realm, so it has relatively less content than the previous two. The only official chapter, "Titan Chapter", as a linear story gameplay, has a relatively small process volume.

Of course Qi Ji took this into consideration.

Therefore, a "competitive mode" was updated in time.

If adventurers feel unsatisfied after completing the main storyline, they can enter the competitive mode at any time to experience the thrill of mecha battles. This has become one of the three major competitive gameplays in Miracle City, along with the frenzy competitive mode and the fighting in the End Arena.

This type of gameplay.

It can last forever.

There is the excellent and concise plot of the Titan chapter to attract traffic.

There are also interesting and competitive PK battles.

In the future, as the popularity of the dungeon continues to grow, especially after the Thunder City where the Star Sea Secret Realm is located is put into use, more and more adventurers will enter the Star Sea, so there is no need to worry about popularity.

That being said.

Compared to Frenzy and Ten Kingdoms.

There is indeed too little content in the Star Sea Secret Realm.

Qi Ji decided to take a two-pronged approach: on the one hand, continue to update the content, and on the other hand, speed up the creation of new chapters.

The Titan arc is a remake adapted from Titanfall 2. Since there's a sequel, there must be a sequel. The materials, plot, and gameplay of the first game can be used to create something interesting.

Qi Ji then updated a "multiplayer story level" gameplay for the Star Ocean Titan chapter.

The previous generation of "Titanfall 2" was a well-known masterpiece. Anyone who knows something about single-player games would have heard of it. In comparison, the first generation seemed to have little presence and was even unknown.

why?

The main reason is that the plot and gameplay of the first generation are particularly unique.

This generation of works does not have a single-player story mode, only multiplayer online story battles.

Simply put, multiple players are divided into two camps, one plays the role of the rebels and the other plays the role of the IMC. There is no traditional main storyline, and each chapter is a new scene.

After each opening cutscene ends.

There will be a carefully designed faction match.

Each scene contains fragmented plots. Because the scenes are different, the gameplay will also be different. There will also be different NPCs to fight with the players, and all plots are presented through fragmented narratives and scene narratives.

The content is still very interesting.

There are many thoughtful and creative designs.

As for why it is not popular, it is easy to guess. Even if the map scenes and mechanism designs are carefully designed, the threshold for this mode that requires multiple people to play together to experience it is too high.

But in Miracle City.

It is totally operational.

After all, there will be no shortage of traffic in the future territory.

Qi Ji plans to use the gameplay and scenes of "Titanfall 1" as the core.

Redesign a large number of new maps, new scenes, and new plots to create a series of interesting battle levels.

These levels are different from the level mode of Doomsday Frenzy. The Frenzy level is about enjoying the excitement of slaughtering zombies with blood flying everywhere, while the Titan chapter combines the three elements of multiplayer levels, competition, and plot.

Adventurers can go through fragmented wars.

This will piece together a series of new plots and stories, and can also be used to improve the world view of the Star Sea Secret Realm.

For example.
If you are planning to make a Star Wars series secret realm.
Qi Ji can incorporate elements of the Star Wars series into the Titan chapter in advance and create a level, placing some robots from the Star Wars world, such as the Destroyer, which can not only bring freshness, but also pave the way for the release of new content.

……

Final summary.

Update announced today.

It is mainly derived from sequels.

The "Dark Prototype DLC" of the Dark Light Advent chapter is launched.

Added a new "Multiplayer Story Battle" mode for the Star Sea Secret Realm Titan Chapter.

But in the future, Qi Ji expects to launch three main chapters one after another.

He will also adapt Ten Kingdoms to choose between "God of War" or "The Wizard", and Star Ocean to choose between "Star Wars", "Halo", "Dead Space" or "StarCraft".

In addition, expand the territory as soon as possible.

Create the fourth secret realm for the territory
The above projects must activate at least three inspiration crystals.

Qi Ji has only activated his Spirit Sea twice so far.

Therefore, we must increase our efforts to acquire materials such as the Spirit Sea Conch or the Spirit Sea Pearl, or find other ways to increase the chances of activating the Inspiration Crystal.

Regarding the fourth secret realm, according to the current plan, it will be a world view with a soul-crushing flavor, combining religion and mythology, and various bizarre and SAN-reducing styles.

How to choose the opening work?
A world with a K-style or soul-like style.

There are currently quite a few options that meet the criteria.

For example, "Elden Ring", "Darkest Dungeon", "Warm Snow", etc.

It is only a matter of time before these excellent works are created and presented.

Among the options currently available, the one that has the most of the temperament of a prologue is undoubtedly the "Elden Ring".

Large-scale open-world games like Old Man Ring are the easiest to remake, and their art, content, and plot are all very solid.

There are all kinds of wonders and exotic customs that adventurers like, as well as difficult combat challenges, epic plot settings, as well as abundant monsters, vivid characters, and huge details and information.

There is a restraining system.

It has a soulful feel.

In line with the world view.

And relatively restrained.

Not as niche as Darkest Dungeon.

But it is not as hardcore, twisted and obscure as classic masterpieces such as Bloodborne.

This is the main reason why Qi Ji chose the Old Man's Ring as the opening piece for this main dungeon. Of course, Qi Ji needs to push his territory to complete a new round of expansion. Only by seizing a Tier 3 Dark Dungeon can he build a brand new core for the main dungeon, and achieving this goal in the short term will be quite difficult.

Any territory.

Any dungeon.

The most important tasks are "construction" and "expansion".

Qi Ji's work over the past ten days and half a month has been focused on internal construction.

Not only did he spend a lot of time optimizing the secret realm and creating new secret realm content, he also consumed a lot of territory resources to improve infrastructure, contract adventurers, purchase blueprints, materials, and secret realm products such as mechas.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

The efforts and work during this period are equivalent to diligently cultivating inner strength.

But then again, it is not enough to just focus on internal development; territorial expansion is also a top priority.

The two complement and promote each other. Only by forming a virtuous circle can the territory develop rapidly and continue to prosper and become stronger!
Miracle Territory has not been peaceful during this period.

It has suffered four large-scale invasions.

However, because of the home advantage and sufficient strategic depth, the adventurers were like wolves and tigers, and the dark race did not gain any advantage in the process.

Although there was not much loss.

But Qi Ji still didn't dare to underestimate the enemy.

The main threat to the territory at present is the third-level dark territory "Evil Wood Forest" in the northwest, and the opponent encountered this time is completely different from any previous one.

Previous opponents include Undercity, Thunder City, and Blood Howl City.

These first and second level small shrimps are not worth mentioning at all in the big forest. They are as numerous as weeds, and they cannot be burned out by wildfires and will grow again in the spring breeze. They will not attract too much attention from other major forces.

The third level is a watershed.

From the third level onwards, you are considered a true local lord.

Every third-level force in the Eternal Night Forest has backers, allies, and a very deep history and foundation.

The relationship behind it.

It's intricate and complicated.

Sometimes a small move can affect the entire body.

They often have a population and combat effectiveness of hundreds of thousands, and the territory they directly control generally reaches three to five hundred miles, while the territory they indirectly control is doubled on this basis.

For example.

Dark Valley, where Undercity is located, is a vassal of Thundercity.

The Thunder Swamp where Thunder City is located and the Blood Howling Valley where Blood Howling City is located are vassals of the Evil Wood Forest.

This dark main city has about four fortresses or large settlements within the territory it directly controls, and within the scope of its ruling power, there are more than a dozen first- and second-level underground cities of various sizes.

among them.

There are four second-level subordinate territories.

That is to say, in addition to Thunder City and Blood Howl City that were annexed by Qi Ji, there are two affiliated second-level dark dungeons, but they are located to the north of the Evil Wood Forest, so they are not directly bordering Miracle City and have not fallen into Qi Ji's hands.

This can be seen.

How powerful is the Evil Wood Forest?

Xiemu City has a large number of third-level combat forces, and the lords are even more powerful fourth-level units. The elite troops are at least tens of thousands in size, which is an unprecedented behemoth for Miracle City.

However, it is subject to the constraints of territorial laws.

If the Evil Wood Forest crosses regions to fight in the Miracle Territory, it will pay a huge price. Although Miracle City is currently far smaller than the Evil Wood Forest, it has nothing to fear if it is fighting at home.

This is why.

Xiemu City launched several invasions.

Qi Ji neither took action personally nor mobilized the monster army. Just mobilizing the adventurers was enough to beat them back.

The number of contracted adventurers in Miracle City has now exceeded a thousand, and there are dozens of third-level strongmen alone. The advantage of fighting at home is too great, and it is not easy for foreign invaders to shake it.

In fact.

The adventurers not only withstood several waves of attacks.

They even launched a counterattack and successively captured several settlements on the outskirts of the Black Iron Mountains south of Xiemu Territory. Although they were only small camps and small tribal strongholds, they had unknown tactical significance and increased the strategic depth of the territory.

visible.

Several open and covert struggles.

Although the Evil Wood Forest has an absolute size advantage.

But he did not gain any advantage in the miracle field, but suffered losses instead.

Although the amount of land lost is insignificant, this incident itself is very embarrassing.

Strangely, the Evil Wood Forest has been unusually peaceful in recent days, with no troops organized to raid the territory again. However, this abnormal calmness and restraint is not necessarily a good thing.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The Dark Lord wants to brew a big wave.

Qi Ji is full of confidence in his territory, but he will not sit idly by and watch the enemy eyeing it covetously. With the rapid development of the territory during this period, the time for another expansion is gradually ripe.

Rather than passively accepting challenges.

It is better to take the initiative.

"My Lord, all the skill stones you requested are here."

As Yongzhen bowed slightly to report, the flower fairy maids came up carrying small boxes. These boxes contained skill stones. Most of the skills produced by Miracle City in the past and recently were in these boxes.

[Skill Stone: Thunder Counter Secret Sword Technique], Tier 2 skill, Learning Cost: 10 Spirit Points...

[Skill Stone: Black Particle], Tier 2 skill, Learning Cost: 25 Spiritual Power...

[Skill Stone: Baru Secret Swordsmanship], Tier 3 skill, Learning Cost: 50 Spiritual Power...

【…】

[Skill Stone: Ghost Valley Swordsmanship], third-tier technique, learning cost: 450 Spiritual Power...

[Skill Stone: Guigu Daoshu], third-tier technique, learning cost: 600 Spiritual Power...

……

Currently, Miracle City has produced dozens of different skill stones. Except for a few rare and precious skills and rare secret skills, all the others are already here.

Skill stones can be divided into two types: regular skill stones and technique skill stones.

Conventional skills generally refer to a single move or spell.

Gongfa skills belong to the method of cultivation, which includes several or more skills that can be used, so the learning cost is often very high. Ordinary adventurers need to break them down in batches before they can practice them.

however.

For Qi Ji.

None of this is a big deal.

The dungeon just closed today.

Qi Ji's mental power reserves are as high as 100,000. Even if he uses up 20 or 30 skill stones at once, the total mental power consumption is only a few thousand.

This little consumption is totally ignored.

When all the fighting secrets from the world of King of Fighters, the Guigu secrets from the world of Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Japanese secret swordsmanship of Ashina Country were all integrated and mastered in an instant.

Qi Ji could clearly feel that as he mastered these sword techniques and secret arts, his body had also been significantly strengthened.

of course.

This enhancement is offset by marginal effects.

For example, the enhancement brought by mastering the first set of second-level swordsmanship is 10, the enhancement effect becomes 2 after the second set, and 1 after the third set...

Qi Ji is actually not weak.

After all, he has already reached the fifth level of cultivation.

It also reserves an astonishing amount of high-quality spirits.

Qi Ji uses the power of these spirits through fusion, bestowal, and summoning through his lord skills. With his huge reserve of mental power, he can exert great strength based on this alone.

What's more, Qi Ji can also summon high-level subjects.

For example, the elf elders Artus and Nancylia were summoned to protect him.

The reason why he learned these skills was simply to improve his basic strength and be safer.

There is no need for the lord to personally fight in most battles, but this does not mean that the lord does not need combat power at all. After all, there will always be emergencies in the process of territory management.

As the soul of the territory.

The safety of the lord comes above all else.

In addition, although Qi Ji does not need to take action or appear in person in more than 95% of the battles, occasionally encountering some particularly difficult situations, it would naturally be best if he had the power to turn the tide.

After Qi Ji improved his own strength.

He then took inventory of the territory's monsters, spirits, and equipment inventory.

Miracle Territory currently has approximately 1,400 monster soldiers.

Although the number is not large.

But the quality is very high.

Among them, first-level four- and five-star units account for 70%, with the main forces being tank zombies, witch zombies, Ashina team leaders, Sui army captains, and prototype tyrants. In addition, there are nearly twenty different high-quality first-level monsters.

Among them, the second-level one-star to three-star units account for 20%, most of which are T103 Tyrant Zombies, Flamethrower Trackers, Bazooka Trackers, Sui Army Captains, Ashina Generals, Blacklight Super Soldiers, a small number of Blacklight Hunters, G3 Creatures, Leech Queens, etc.

Second-level four- and five-star units account for nearly 10%, mainly including Gatling Trackers, Cursed Tyrants, a small number of Biochemical Mother Zombies, and Insect-Attached Lion Apes.

Although there are not many third-order units, there are twenty-one, including the Headless, Seven-Faced, Thousand-Year Mermaid Spirit, Thousand-Year Stone Lion Spirit, Thousand-Year Fox Spirit, Demon Swordsman, and Supreme Hunter.

This little monster.

The ability to capture cities and territories is slightly insufficient.

It is more than enough to guard the main city and protect the territory.

Why didn’t Qi Ji summon more monster soldiers?

The main problem is that the cost of raising monster soldiers is too high. Not only does the summoning process consume a huge amount of energy, but raising these monsters in the territory also consumes energy on a daily basis.

Accumulated over time.

It is a burden on the finances.

Therefore, Qi Ji only built three third-level monster camps in Miracle City.

It is a bit of a loss to simply consume these reserve monsters without producing anything. To solve this problem, we need to build relevant supporting facilities. The current number of monsters is enough to maintain the stability of the territory.

It's not hard to tell from the types of monsters.

Qi Ji prefers to summon humanoid monster soldiers.

Because this kind of monster soldier can also be used to guard the gate or patrol on a daily basis, it can still play a role to some extent.

Although the territory's regular combat power is not large, the potential reserve combat power is not a small number, because Qi Ji has swallowed a large amount of spirits and equipment in the past half month.

This includes.

First-level spirit (no less than two stars): about 1!

Second-level spirit, about 1000!

Third-level spirits: 148!
Qi Ji has so many spirits in his hands, he can create a large number of combat forces at any time through the monster camp or mercenary house, enough to deal with various emergencies.

Of course, this is far from all the foundation of Miracle Territory.

One of the biggest features of Miracle City compared to other territories is its powerful arms industry.

The current stockpile of munitions in Miracle City's official warehouse is conservatively estimated to be:
The first-level equipment includes various common firearms, such as rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and shotguns. The current inventory reserves are 2500, and there are 300 pieces of various military consumables such as grenades and C4 bombs.

Second-level equipment, various heavy firepower weapons, such as rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and several high-level firearms, totaling hundreds.

二阶载具，悍马60辆，黑鹰直升机30架、M1A2主战坦克20辆。

Why are these vehicles all integers?
Because adventurers rarely hand in such things, most of the ones in Qi Ji's hands were purchased through the Secret Realm Mall, and their purchase price was very expensive.

As for third-level munitions, they are even rarer.

Qi Ji relies mainly on purchasing and supplemented by recycling. He has currently accumulated 20 high-energy arc guns and 40 Titan mechas of various models.

……

In summary.

This is the wealth Qi Ji has accumulated in the past month or so!
of course.

Miracle's monthly income is more than this.

Some of them were not collected by adventurers, mainly various vehicles or mechas. These equipments that were scattered among the people were essentially part of the Miracle City armed forces.

In addition, there were a considerable number of low-level spirits, guns, and ammunition, which Qi Ji sold through the lord market and territory trade to maintain the construction of the territory during this period.

even so.

Such a short time.

And he can still save up such a huge fortune.

One can imagine how strong the production and income capabilities of Miracle City are!
