Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 226 Rapid Progress
It took half a day to pick the red spider lilies.

Once again completed the core main storyline.

Although there are some differences in details, the final results achieved are basically the same thanks to the power of the ancient reincarnation formation.

Higanbana chose to reject Xiaoxue's sacrifice and joined forces with Xiaoxue, Zhang Lie, Gu Yuesheng and Yuwen Tuo to complete the Lost Array.

however.

Although Xiaoxue did not make any more sacrifices, transforming herself into her original form and being sealed for six hundred years, it cost Achou and Yu'er a huge price, and this result was also difficult for the adventurers to accept.

"Old thief Qi has gone too far!"

"Yeah, why can I only choose between Xiaoxue and Yu'er?"

"It's alright if Yu'er can't be resurrected."

"In order to come back and see Ah Chou, she paid the price of premature death for ten lifetimes. I cannot accept such an outcome!"

"I think this is still not a perfect result. There must be a way to achieve a more perfect ending!"

"..."

While the adventurers were discussing.

The scar on the sky has been repaired almost halfway.

However, at this moment, the repair of the picture stopped abruptly, and the scene of the battle for the secret crystal returned to the core of the Red Star.

Yuwen Tuo said: "The Lost Array has been activated, but it will take about half an hour to completely repair the Scar of the Sky."

Yu Xiaoxue asked with concern: "Brother Chen, how do you feel?"

The red spider lily was stunned for a moment.

She searched through the memories in Ah Chou's mind, and as expected, everything about Yu'er had disappeared completely at this moment.

At this moment, Chen Jingchou no longer recognized a person named Tuoba Yu'er, and he could no longer remember any feelings about Yu'er.

The actress is Higanbana.

She couldn't ruin the plot.

Otherwise it will lose synchronization and fail.

The flower scratched its head and said, "Strange, I don't feel that I have changed, nor do I feel that I have lost anything..."

at this time.

There was a loud bang.

The entire planet of Astronomy began to shake violently.

Zhang Lie asked, "What's going on? What happened?"

Gu Shengyue's expression darkened as he said, "Someone is attacking the pillars holding the Red Star. We must stop him."

Yuwen Tuoye said solemnly, "Although we have successfully activated the formation, it will take at least half an hour to completely repair the Scar of the Sky. If the Red Star is destroyed at this time, all our efforts will be in vain!"

It turns out it’s not over yet!
There is still a BOSS to be defeated!
Of course, Higanbana knew that the boss attacking the pillar of Akagi Star was the demonized Chen Fu.

He is also the final BOSS in the main storyline. The last time Demonized Chen Fu appeared before the completion of the Lost Array, but this time, perhaps because he did not waste time in Fuxi Palace, the node for Demonized Chen Fu to appear was postponed.

Higanbana immediately said, "No matter who is attacking Akagi, we must stop him!"

Yuwen Tuo: "I and Immortal Gu Yue are enough to keep the formation running. The three of you will take action immediately."

Zhang Lie: “Yes!”

Yu Xiaoxue: "Brother Chen, let's act quickly!"

Higanbana did not waste any time. She brought Zhang Lie and Xiaoxue to Zhizhu, and as expected, she met the demonized Chen Fu.

Chen Fu was completely possessed by the devil at this moment. When he saw that he could not persuade Ah Chou to change his mind, he directly swallowed the remaining half of the Satan Fruit and transformed into the form of the devil again.

The battle is about to break out.

This battle is still very difficult.

But because I already had this experience.

This time, Higanbana succeeded after only two attempts. When she successfully killed the demon-like Chen Fu, it meant that the Road to Babel and the journey to repair the sky were a complete success.

Next.

It was a plot cutscene for the grand finale.

The first half of this cutscene is the same as last time.

[One day in heaven is like ten years on earth. The land of China has become a completely different place.]

A golden sword energy broke through the air.

Landed on the long-abandoned Tower of Babel.

The Xuanyuan sword energy shattered the tower into pieces and crushed it into powder, which meant that the five people who participated in the journey to repair the sky successfully returned to the human world, but the earth had been completely renewed.

Accompanied by narration.

Various images keep emerging.

These include historical events such as the struggle for hegemony among warlords at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the birth of the Tang Empire, and the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

When the vibrant Tang Dynasty was born, when Li Shimin launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killed his brothers, forced his father to abdicate, and seized the throne, this epic scene came to an end.

The conflict between the Sui and Tang dynasties has ended. Now, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, China is experiencing a period of peace and prosperity...

[In the second year of Zhenguan, near Mount Zhongnan…]

When the narration and various pictures end.

The picture appeared again in the secret crystal.

This is at the foot of the picturesque Zhongnan Mountain. A simple solitary grave appears in the picture, followed by two figures that are very familiar to the adventurers, namely Achou and Xiaoxue.

At this moment, the red spider lily is not controlling Ah Chou. This is obviously a cutscene. All the character's behaviors and performances come directly from the character himself.

"Master, your disciple is here to see you again..."

Now, three years have passed since Butian returned, and A Chou looks much more mature.

He came to the grave and knelt down.

First, I kowtowed three times respectfully.

Ah Qiu's eyes were filled with nostalgia and sadness: "Master, time flies... In the blink of an eye, the chaotic times have ended. It has been many years since the fall of the Sui Dynasty, and the lives of the people are getting better and better."

Xiaoxue also knelt down and kowtowed three times.

Ah Qiu couldn't help but sigh: "It has been three years since we separated from everyone. I don't know how they have been doing in the past three years."

Xiaoxue said, "Brother Zhang Lie now calls himself the Bearded Man. He's put aside his grand ambitions and returned to his wife, who has been waiting for him for the past ten years... He's very happy with the current peaceful times and is probably traveling the world with her, enjoying a carefree life."

Ah Qiu walked to the edge of the cliff and looked to the north: "Brother Zhang must be very happy now!"

Speaking of which.

He thought of something.

He sighed heavily again.

"I wonder if Brother Yuwen is safe and sound..."

Xiaoxue was very confused: "I have always been confused. Why didn't Brother Yuwen stay? With his talent and ability, he must be able to achieve something."

"Brother Yuwen has killed too many people and committed grave sins. Although he has saved hundreds of millions of people in China by mending the sky, he still cannot forgive himself, so he insists on self-exile no matter what..."

Ah Chou looked towards the west: "He carried the soul of Princess Ning Ke westward. Now no one knows where he has drifted to."

Xiaoxue: "I hope Brother Yuwen is safe."

"As for Immortal Gu Yue, he has already returned to Xianshan Island to continue his seclusion. Let's find some time to visit him, the old Immortal Ran Weng, and the ever-young Queen of the Di people!"

Ah Qiu sighed: "Although it has only been a few years, it feels like everything is a dream."

Xiaoxue took out a simple pipa with a sad expression and whispered, "Brother Chen, we have an important partner..."

"There's another one? No way, there shouldn't be one more!"

"You've already..."

"Xiaoxue, why are you crying suddenly?"

Xiaoxue wiped away her tears and said, "Brother Chen, let's play a song first for the master and...our mutual friend, okay?"

Ah Qiu: "Okay, let's play that beautiful song that you said your best friend taught you."

"it is good!"

The two sat down and began to play.

Achou played the flute and Xiaoxue played the pipa, and waves of beautiful and melodious music echoed in the mountains.

At this time, a shepherd couple happened to be driving their flock past. A girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old beside them was attracted and immediately came up to them to listen.

When the adventurers in Higanbana and the secret hall saw this girl, they were all shocked and unbelievable.

Because the shepherd girl looks almost exactly like Yu'er, except that she looks younger.

The song is over.

The shepherdesses immediately applauded.

"Wow, it sounds so good, brothers and sisters, what song are you playing?"

Ah Qiu scratched his head and said, "Oh no! What's the name? I have always had a good memory, but I can't remember the name of this song."

"Brother Chen, it's called Ruyi Yu'er Qu..."

Xiaoxue also came out of her immersion. When she opened her eyes and saw the shepherd girl in front of her, her face was full of disbelief and shock.

"You...you are..."

Ah Chou: "Ruyi Yu'er Qu, what a beautiful name... Hey, Xiaoxue, why are you crying again? What happened today?"

The shepherd girl blinked her bright eyes and asked with concern: "Big sister, why are you crying? This flower is for you!"

Xiaoxue took a bouquet of flowers from the girl, "Thank you...thank you for the flowers!"

At this time, the shepherd shouted from a distance: "Ayu, we are going home, don't bother others."

"Okay!" The shepherd girl waved to the two of them and said, "Big brother, big sister, thank you for the beautiful music. I'm leaving now, so make sure you have fun!"

The girl left.

Xiaoxue stared at the flowers in her hand in a daze.

At this moment, a strong gust of wind suddenly blew and blew the flowers in Xiaoxue's hand off the cliff.

Seeing this, Ah Qiu quickly said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue, I'll get it back for you right away."

"No, just let it go."

Xiaoxue wiped away her tears and walked up the hillside. She looked at the shepherd couple and the girl walking away and whispered softly, "My forever Sister Tuoba... I wish you happiness!"

At this point, the crystal image in the secret realm gradually dimmed.

Higanbana also received a clearance reminder again.

[You have completed the "Sui and Tang Dynasties" chapter! ]

[You have obtained the new achievement "Lonely Hero"! ]

[You have obtained the "Skill Stone: Suzaku Wings"! ]

【…】

Completed the Sui and Tang Dynasties again.

But the reward is definitely not as good as the previous time.

The "Lonely Hero" unlocked today corresponds to the "Fairy Couple" obtained yesterday. Apart from this, no new achievements were obtained.

As for the specific rewards.

The "Vermillion Bird Wings" obtained today is a third-level fire skill. Although it is very powerful, its value is definitely far less than the Ancient Demon-Subduing Mirror and the spirit of the Demon King Chen Fu.

This is actually quite normal. Yesterday was the first clear, so there was a significant drop rate bonus, while today's clear was achieved by reloading a save, so there's no special bonus compared to a normal adventure.

Of course the rewards don't matter.

Because compared to the reward itself.

The ending of this story once again brought a huge shock to the adventurers.

"Damn you old thief Qi!"

"They actually created such a cruel ending!"

Meng Yinxue's eyes were red as she murmured, "This ending is also very cruel. Although the two met Yu'er's reincarnation, Ah Chou could no longer recognize her, and Xiaoxue didn't know that Yu'er would not live past the age of twenty..."

Mingyue Zhaoxue: "Even though Xiaoxue wasn't sealed for six hundred years, this ending wasn't a good one for her."

Mao Mengmeng: "Why? Isn't she already with Ah Chou?"

Mingyue Zhaoxue: "I don't think it's that simple. After all, the story doesn't directly explain the relationship between the two at the end. Instead, it reveals other outcomes through some metaphors and hints."

"what?"

"There is such a thing!"

Nancy Liya: "Are you referring to the flowers that the girl Ayu gave to Xiaoxue? Indeed, although Xiaoxue received the flowers from Ayu, she did not own them... This seems to mean something!"

"Achou lost all his memories and feelings for Yu'er in the Lost Array, which also shows that he truly loves Yu'er. Xiaoxue must be well aware of this."

"Although Xiaoxue is with her crush, Brother Chen, she knows that he doesn't really like her. This is still a very cruel ending for her."

"Ah, why is Xiaoxue so miserable."

"Yu'er is so miserable too. She's already a teenager. She will die in a few years at most. And this fate will repeat itself for nine lifetimes!"

"I can't accept this ending!"

"..."

Dozens of female adventurers obviously cared very much about Achou's feelings, and after analyzing the situation, they all felt sad about the ending.

This is too cruel!
Although it's very tragic.

But they loved the story.

Lord Qi's methods are too powerful, and it is precisely because of the tragic portrayal that the character becomes more vivid and touching.

Most other adventurers were more concerned about whether they could achieve a more perfect ending than this. After all, this was not a good result no matter how you looked at it.

And at the same time.

In the lord's mansion.

Qi Ji also noticed the performance of the adventurers. When he noticed that Higanbana had passed the level again and got a new ending, he was very satisfied.

So far.

Higanbana has already released two mainstream endings of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, which can be understood as the Yu'er ending and the Xiaoxue ending.

The former lived in seclusion with Yu'er.

The latter is to continue traveling and adventuring with Xiaoxue.

Both of these endings are slightly adapted from the original endings of the game. In fact, as a story with multiple endings, Miracle City has more than just these endings to choose from.

Qi Ji also created several different hidden endings, but they are more difficult to achieve.

For example.

The same is the ending of Yu'er.

If the adventurer is strong enough and completes important side quests ahead of time, he will obtain the magic weapon to purify monsters.

Then it is possible to defeat Chen Fu when he is in a semi-demonized state, prevent him from swallowing the other half of the fruit to completely transform into a demon king, and at the same time purify the demonic energy to restore him to his original state.

Under this situation.

The master will regain his sanity.

Finally learned the truth about Tian Zhihen.

Under such circumstances, Chen Fu would take the initiative to replace his apprentice and become the guardian of the Lost Array, and his greatest obsession was undoubtedly to restore his country.

When the sky repair was successfully completed.

Chen Fu turned a disaster into a blessing and lost his obsession.

He was finally able to completely give up his ideal of restoring the country and go to Tianwai Village on Xianshan Island to spend his remaining years in retirement.

In this ending, although Xiaoxue will still use the power of the Nuwa Stone after resurrecting Yu'er, she no longer needs to continue to use her divine power for Achou, so she only needs to be sealed for sixty years.

Sixty years is a long time, but it is no longer an unreachable distance.

In the end, Xiaoxue still has the opportunity to meet Yu'er and Achou.

This is a relatively more perfect and easier-to-achieve ending, and I believe it is also a result that most adventurers can accept.

certainly.
If the adventurer has enough energy and time.

They can find six extremely hidden side quests during their adventure.

If these six hidden quests are completed perfectly, you can collect six fragments of the Heart of the Earth. These fragments can be combined with the five-colored magic stones (fake Nuwa stones) that appear in the plot to create the Sky-Mending Magic Stone.

This magic stone can greatly enhance Yu Xiaoxue's ability, allowing her to easily resurrect Yu'er or have enough spare energy to complete the task of repairing the sky. In this way, there will be a chance to complete the family-friendly ending imagined by the adventurer.

The conditions for achieving this perfect ending are very harsh.

Due to the size and richness of the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapters, it is impossible for anyone to complete it in a short period of time, but we can release some clues appropriately to make adventurers have a stronger desire to explore.

Of course, where there is a better ending there will be a worse ending.

If the adventurer's skills and acting skills are not good enough, causing the plot to get out of control, then it is possible that while completing the main storyline of patching up the sky, there will be an even more tragic ending than the current one.

The second ending of the Sui and Tang Dynasty chapter was successfully achieved.

Today's dungeon operation is nearing its end.

Yong Zhen came forward on behalf of Qi Ji to contract spirits for adventurers. He not only upgraded the spirits of dozens of Miracle City people, but also contracted a group of new adventurers for Miracle City.

Just today.

Miracle City added a fourth-level contract adventurer.

In addition, four new third-level adventurers were added.

It can be said that the strength of Miracle City is increasing every day.

And in the blink of an eye.

The eleventh day passed.

During these eleven days.

Miracle City has changed a lot.

It can be described as changing with each passing day.

This can be reflected in territory construction and secret realm construction.

Territory construction can be further divided into infrastructure construction and team construction.

Relying on the huge income from the territory, Qi Ji carried out more in-depth construction of the territory. The levels of various infrastructures were further improved and their functions were becoming more powerful.

The most important infrastructure project.

There is no doubt that the core of Miracle City and Dark City have been successfully upgraded to the fourth level.

The fourth-level core means greater operating capabilities, laying the foundation for new content and a new chapter. Qi Ji will officially update the new chapter adapted from the "God of War Series" today.

As for the territory team.

There are huge changes compared to a dozen days ago.

The population is the first to be affected. Currently, the population of non-human adventurers in Miracle Territory is 42,500, while the population of human adventurers has exceeded 13,000, with a total population of 55,000.

This is already a territory of considerable size.
Among them, the number of local adventurers exceeded 2,000, which means that the total number of adventurers has reached about 15,000.

This is also a very astonishing number. If each of the 15,000 adventurers consumes an average of 7 soul crystals per day, the soul crystal income alone can reach 100,000!
And the net income of mental power.

It usually reaches more than 100,000.

This is a very shocking number.

The rapid development of Miracle Territory is inseparable from its strong hematopoietic ability.

At the same time, with the help of several lord allies, Qi Ji purchased many valuable Heroic Soul Stones from outside at a large sum of money, and thus successfully recruited a group of named people according to the plan.

Among them were Jill, Ashina Genichirō, Han Teng, Captain Perry, and Mai Shiranui, who had been planned to be recruited earlier.

At this moment, the lord not only has Yongzhen by his side, but also a group of loyal named persons. These named persons are absolutely loyal to the lord and will become important talents in managing the territory, or the lord's assistants and maids.

As for the secret realm?

Such a long time.

The changes are definitely huge.

However, this change is mainly in terms of progress.

Because Qi Ji has updated the dark prototype and biochemical chapters.

He has not launched any major chapter updates in the past ten days. His main focus has been on optimizing and updating existing chapters, constantly adjusting existing secret realms, adding side quests and content, etc.

Each chapter or gameplay of Frenzy, Ten Kingdoms, and Star Ocean has become richer.

Even a secret realm like the End Arena has added many characters to further enhance the experience.

The main reason why he only made minor updates instead of large-scale chapter updates was that the fourth core had not yet been created, and the secret cores of the core main city and the first main city had not yet broken through to the fourth level.

This led to the already completed remake of "God of War".

However, due to insufficient space in the Ten Kingdoms Secret Realm, it cannot be loaded and run.

Of course, another part of the reason is that Miracle City currently has too much content.

Qi Ji believes that adventurers can fully digest the content and there is no need to rush to update new secret realm content.

The adventurers are indeed very powerful.

The speed of secret realm exploration is very fast during this period.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties chapter, after the red spider lily, nine more people who passed the level appeared one after another.

There are already adventurers who have reached the later stages of the Dark Prototype arc, and it is estimated that it will be completed in a few days.

The fastest and strongest adventurers in the continent of Arad are about to challenge the Lord of the City of Light. It is estimated that it will not take long to break through the Sky City and open up a new dungeon area.

Miracle City is thriving day by day!
However, whether a territory is strong and can continue to prosper.

Territorial expansion and military are also very important criteria for evaluation.

Twelve days ago, Qi Ji captured the Black Iron Fortress and completed a deployment of great strategic value. After that, he did not go any further, but simply invested resources to continuously strengthen the Black Iron Fortress.

Therefore.

Although the Evil Wood Forest organized several large-scale attacks.

In the end, they were all successfully blocked at the Black Iron Mountains and were unable to threaten the heartland of Miracle Territory at all.

In fact, Miracle City now has the ability to flatten the Black Iron Mountains. The reason why Qi Ji can remain patient is, on the one hand, because the Evil Wood Forest does not threaten Miracle City at all, and on the other hand, he wants to continue to hide for a while, develop slowly, accumulate strength, and consume the morale of the Evil Wood Forest.

Today, Miracle City is becoming more and more powerful.

Even if the Eternal Night Dragon King personally pays attention to him, he is fully capable of protecting himself.

Qi Ji felt that the time was gradually ripe, the decisive battle of this stage was about to begin, and it was time to start a new round of expansion and launch a new main secret realm for adventurers.

Just as Qi Ji was thinking about this.

The new day of dungeon opening has officially arrived.

Adventurers are very excited about the long-awaited event, because not only are secret realms such as Black Light coming to an end, but the dungeon is also undergoing a huge update, and the third country of the Ten Kingdoms has been officially created.

(End of this chapter)
