Your secret game is absolutely poisonous!

Chapter 228 New Project and Old Father

now.

Free city.

Luxurious oceanfront estate.

This large castle-like manor is Qi Ji's office today. There are many supporting office facilities around it, which can accommodate at least one or two thousand people working here at the same time.

Qi Ji took advantage of the fact that this secret realm would not be reset.

Qi Ji has increased his use of the Free City over the past ten days, creating studios by recruiting game content and creative planners.

This way.

He just needs to provide ideas.

The work can be outsourced through solicitation or subcontracting, and will be taken charge by top writers, screenwriters, artists, musicians, producers and other talents, so as to further create the content richness and texture granularity of the Miracle City Secret Realm.

Of course, the creation of secret realms and the production of the main storyline are all completed by the lord himself, and the online and offline teams are mainly responsible for polishing and improving the world view and side content.

For example, the production of hidden side stories for ordinary characters in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and various towns and areas on the Arad continent, and the writing of various memories and stories of ordinary passers-by and non-important characters.

These contents do not affect the main storyline of the secret realm, but can greatly increase the playability, vividness and texture of the secret realm.

The population of Arad who can interact directly with adventurers is as high as tens of millions. Although they will automatically generate localized memories and personalities, these memories are often incomplete and mediocre, and they do not have the ability to publish or trigger hidden plots or side quests.

In other words.

Mostly background boards.

It's just an atmosphere group to fill in the blanks.

Although ordinary people are important, after all, those with stories and ideas are a minority. The vast majority of people are just part of the masses and do not need to provide effective information or content.

But if the proportion of "effective NPCs" can be appropriately increased, for example, from the original one thousandth to one or two percent.

This can greatly increase the playability and explorability of the secret realm, allowing adventurers to experience different experiences.

however.

Even if it is only one percent of the effective characters.

That means adding thousands or even tens of thousands of new story lines. This is just a secret realm in Arad. It is impossible for Qi Ji to complete so much work alone with guaranteed quality and quantity.

Now with the help of these free teams, the Miracle City Secret Realm has been taken to a higher level in terms of detail texture, especially the completeness of side quests, and will surely produce a more excellent and effective secret realm with rich content.

"My Lord, this is the design plan for the three hundred civilian characters that Ashina Studio One has recently completed."

A beautiful, tall woman with a high ponytail, wearing a red-based off-shoulder Taoist robe with a corset design, who looks sexy, hot and charming, walked forward.

This person is the named Mai Shiranui.

Under the gaze of the named woman, filled with admiration and loyalty, almost to the point of being drawn to her, Qi Ji took a thick stack of documents from her and began to read them, while Mai Shiranui stood aside, continuing to gaze at the lord with affection.

There are currently three named female companions who frequently accompany the lord.

They are Yongzhen, Jill, and Mai Shiranui.

The three of them have different temperaments and images.

Although Yongzhen and Mai Shiranui are both beauties of Japanese style, the former is dignified, elegant, low-key and steady, while the latter is sexy, bold, unrestrained and hot. They can be said to be two extremes.

Jill wears a military uniform and beret on a daily basis. She is capable and decisive, and is a European and American beauty.

Several female named persons are responsible for the lord's daily life and daily affairs. As the head maid, they are responsible for the internal affairs of the lord's mansion. They also serve as the lord's assistants to convey his will to adventurers and explain various policies of the territory.

The territory also has three military officers and foreign affairs management.

They are Han Teng, Captain Perry, and Ashina Genichirō.

These three people are responsible for the defense arrangements of the main city and the territory. In addition, they manage the monster camps and are responsible for territory security.

Six people are just the beginning!
There will definitely be more and more named people in Miracle Territory in the future.

These people will be responsible for various affairs of the territory and ultimately share various burdens with the lord, allowing the lord to focus on core work.

The Named One acts as a special summoned unit.

They may not be very strong, but they are absolutely loyal and 100% obedient.

In the future, as the territory grows larger, more named people will be needed to take charge of key positions to ensure the efficient operation of the territory and that the lord's orders are 100% executed.

"not bad!"

After reading the plan, Qi Ji nodded with satisfaction.

He made some suggestions for revision, asked the staff to make some revisions, and then make more detailed improvements.

Qi Ji has currently set up studios for most of the secret realm chapters, not only to polish out a richer texture, but also to prepare for the "open mode" to release the plot synchronization.

What is open mode?

This was an idea Qi Ji had had a long time ago.

When enough adventurers have passed a secret realm and understood the plot.

Miracle City will release the authority of plot synchronization value, allowing some adventurers to break away from the limitations of the plot direction, promote the plot, create the plot, and perform secret tasks more freely within a limited time according to their own will.

In this mode, adventurers can change the fate of each character and the direction of the plot without having to follow the main quest of the original work.

He can help characters with tragic and regretful endings and give them a better ending, or he can completely turn evil and become a villain and turn the world upside down.

In short, the possibilities are almost endless.

This will not only be more interesting and fun, but will also further develop and exploit the potential of the secret realm.

However, the difficulty and requirements of developing this kind of gameplay are very high. It is only suitable for old secret realms that have been completed by a large number of people. It also requires the creation of an open, sandbox world, which requires a huge amount of work.

It is impossible for Qi Ji to complete such detailed work alone, so teams need to be set up and the studio needs to be responsible for polishing and completing the details. In addition, more subordinate lords with secret realm production capabilities are needed to become secret realm assistants.

Although the development of the "open mode" is quite complex and is still in its infancy, it is a very promising feature project of Miracle City.

This model has great potential.

If successfully developed, it will not only allow adventurers to have more fun and greatly increase territory income, but also turn an originally linear plot-based secret realm into an open exploration secret realm, thus having almost unlimited lifespan and playability.

Bi Qiji can "play characters freely" in this mode. Adventurers are not restricted by plot synchronization and can do whatever they want to complete secret missions, but at the beginning they can only play some ordinary and weak characters.

For example, the Ashina soldiers in the Ashina chapter and the ordinary special forces members in the Dark Light chapter.

Most of these little Karami are destined to be cannon fodder. Even if they are familiar with the plot, what they can do is relatively limited. If they want to become a more powerful character, or even enter the secret realm directly in the physical body, they need to achieve enough achievements or spend a lot of contribution points.

Qi Ji could also try a different approach.

Develop “infinite flow” activity gameplay.

This type of activity is based on the infinite flow novels of the previous life. Adventurers can be divided into two or more camps to play games around a certain mission goal and create more possibilities.

For example, the victory goal generated by one team is to help the inner court complete the invasion and kill Ashina Isshin within a limited time, while the victory goal generated by another team is to keep Ashina Isshin within this period of time.

In order to complete the task, both parties must use the plot to fight openly and secretly, use various strategies to play games with each other, thus making the secret realm full of gaming nature.

Only the best adventurers.

To sign up for this kind of game.

Their performance is definitely worth looking forward to.

This will become a very distinctive and effective territory activity in Miracle City in the future.

"My Lord, you have been working very hard recently. I would like to give you a massage."

Seeing the master nodded.

Mai Shiranui immediately showed a look of joy.

She immediately came to the lord and pressed his shoulders with her soft hands. While enjoying the service, Boss Qi also opened the lord's vision and understood the situation in the secret hall.

It has been almost an hour since we arrived in Kaesong.

The biggest difference today is the opening of a new secret chapter.

Judging from the current feedback from adventurers, adventurers have a very high opinion of the Nine Realms Tree. After all, this is another exotic country with a completely different style of painting.

According to his plan and arrangement, the Nine Realms Tree chapter is a regular chapter similar to the Ashina chapter, and this chapter is composed of the new God of War, which is a fusion of God of War 4 and 5.

In other words.

The two new God of War works have been combined into one.

Qi Ji made some adaptations during the remake process.

This adaptation not only improves the settings and details of the Nine Realms Tree Kingdom, but also allows adventurers to visit various cities full of Nordic exotic style to complete side quests and understand the living conditions of people in this world.

He also significantly optimized the gameplay.

For example, when Qi Ji was playing God of War, the thing he was most dissatisfied with was that this was clearly an action combat game, but it was filled with a large number of repetitive and meaningless puzzles, which caused considerable damage to the game's rhythm, smoothness and experience.

Although there are puzzles that must be solved in the Nine Realm Tree chapter that adventurers experience, all puzzle-solving links that are not related to the plot have been removed or greatly optimized, so that the adventure will become more efficient and smooth.

Just as the Ashina chapter may create a shogunate DLC in the future, the Sui and Tang chapter will have a sequel to "Beyond the Clouds and Mountains" and the DLC of Ran Weng Gu Yuesheng in the future.

The Nine Realms Tree chapter also has medium- and long-term plans.

Qi Ji plans to release at least three Kratos spin-offs after a certain number of adventurers have cleared the Nine Realms Tree.

The three major spin-off chapters will contain the contents of God of War 1 to 3.

Qi Ji believes that in terms of passion, excitement, and imagination, the old God of War actually surpasses the new God of War, but the new God of War has better graphics, better impact feel, and other content, so it is more popular among the new generation of players in the previous life.

Technological advantage is not important to Miracle City.

Even an RPG game with an ancient pixel style can be transformed into a true restoration and immersive secret world after being remade by Miracle City.

The difficulty of remaking the old God of War trilogy is indeed a little higher than the new God of War, but once the remake is completed, its excitement, shocking effects, brain holes and imagination will be taken to a higher level.

Adventurers will play the role of Kratos and kill all gods and Buddhas who stand in his way.

He single-handedly swept across Mount Olympus and slaughtered all the Greek gods.

This kind of super cool special chapter is usually made into a paid secret realm, which means that after the Black Light chapter, a sickle will appear in Miracle City again to harvest adventurers on a large scale.

Of course there is no rush now.

After all, the Nine Realms Tree has just opened.

Even the first pass is expected to take quite some time to appear. What we need to do now is to further optimize and improve this secret realm chapter based on the performance of adventurers in the secret realm.

……

now.

Inside the secret halls of Miracle City and Undercity, thousands of adventurers took on the role of the new character, Kratos!
The unlocking of new stories and new kingdoms makes adventurers feel very fresh. The kingdom nurtured by the Nine Realms Tree is full of Nordic cultural colors, which is a different style and experience from China and Japan.

Plus a very shocking battle performance.

The gimmicks and expectations are full!
Pig King: "Good! Very awesome as always!"

Black Stone Hammer King: "Kratos should be the strongest character we have ever played except Brother A!"

Lonely Swordsman: "It's normal. After all, Kratos was once a god, and from the readable memories, he killed all the gods in his hometown and even almost killed himself."

Dumbheaded Goose: "So Mr. Kratos is so crazy?"

Baihe Jushi: "These gods in the western region are probably similar in nature to Xing Tian in the Eastern Divine Land. Although they are not the incarnation of immortality, they can single-handedly annihilate all the gods. This is indeed a legendary feat!"

Sleeping in the Wind: "It's a pity that Kratos is now old and weak. And it's obvious that although his suicide attempt failed, it also severely damaged his vitality. He lost his powerful special power and most of his divine power."

"..."

White Fawn: "I am very interested in the Land of the Nine Realms Tree!"

Mingyue Zhaoxue: "Yes, this foreign land is already very vast and mysterious. I didn't expect that it could grow such a sacred tree that can give birth to a small world."

Elf Elsa: "In ancient elven legends, I heard about a sacred tree called the World Tree. This tree possesses a status superior to that of the gods, and has the ability to nurture and create the world... Perhaps this Nine Realms Tree has the characteristics of the World Tree, and is also related to the Jianmu Tree on the Sea in the Sui and Tang Dynasties."

Artus: "If this tree really possesses the characteristics of a world tree, it would be of great research value to our clan. I wonder how the Lord could have created sacred trees like the Nine Realms Tree and Jianmu. He is simply the incarnation of the God of Nature!"

Nancy Liya: "The Lord's methods and background are certainly beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

Wanshan Guhong asked, "Why would Kratos appear in the kingdom of the Nine Realms Tree?"

"..."

It's been half an hour since we arrived in Kaesong.

Although this secret realm chapter has just begun, the shocking battle in the opening plot and Kratos's partially readable memories are enough for adventurers to grasp enough basic information.

Therefore, the adventurers gathered the information and soon found out that Kratos was not a native of the Nine World Tree, but a Spartan. The area where he lived was once ruled by a force called Mount Olympus.

For some unknown reasons.

Kratos was filled with anger and hatred. Not only did he declare war on the gods, he also killed almost all of them by himself.

This undoubtedly leaves a lot of suspense!

How did Kratos go from a mortal to a god?

Why did he turn against the gods, and how did he kill all the gods by himself?

pity.

These past events.

Buried deep in Kratos' memory.

He is actively forgetting the past and no longer recalling it or reading it.

So the adventurers knew it.

But I don’t know why.

Meng Yinxue sighed, "Kratos carries so many secrets and stories, and I don't know if there will be a chance to unravel them in the future. I think this will definitely be a very exciting adventure."

Higanbana: "I will definitely solve it!"

The Time Traveler also said, "Indeed, based on our understanding of Lord Qi, since he has so directly revealed various clues, these clues must be useful and definitely not just a simple background."

Ran Tianyun: "Yes, the elderly Kratos we play may just be the beginning. The past and future stories of this character must be very exciting and worth looking forward to. Let us first unravel the secrets of this story!"

"..."

Undercity Hall.

Zang Shanhai is playing Kratos.

I had heard that the secret realm of "Deep Role Playing" in Miracle City was unique, but it was not until I experienced it myself that I realized that it was far more incredible and magical than I had imagined.

The Nine Realms Tree is the first secret realm chapter that Zang Shanhai experienced after arriving in Miracle City.

But perhaps it has something to do with my life experience, I have a very strong resonance and sense of substitution with Kratos.

Kratos once had a powerful past and an almost crazy brilliant record, but now he has gradually grown old, and has abandoned all his hatred and miserable past, and only wants to live a retired life.

Zang Shanhai rose from an unknown civilian adventurer to become the most recognized and strongest adventurer in Qingshan City. He once experienced the tragedy of the departure of his beloved, and now he wants to retire.

Even Kratos' son Atreus.

His age and even appearance are very similar to his own son who unfortunately died young.

When Zang Shanhai played the role of Kratos and interacted with Atreus, especially when he felt the emotions between Kratos and his son, he couldn't help but feel a trance that was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

He felt like he was Kratos.

And Atreus was his son.

This time, no matter how difficult it is, no matter what the cost, I must protect my son and never let my wife down.

"I am Kratos now. I came to the Nine Realm Tree Kingdom and married a woman named Fei. I only wanted to live in anonymity, but I didn't expect my wife to pass away..."

"Fei's last wish was to cut down a tree with her handprint on it and use it as wood for cremation, and then take her ashes to the highest mountain in the Nine Realms to complete this special funeral."

"This is the last one."

"..."

Zang Shanhai found a number of large trees with golden palm prints imprinted on them in the dense forest covered with ice and snow, and chopped them down with the Leviathan Axe.

These trees were not only very thick but also as hard as iron and stone. However, with Kratos' violent strength, he could easily cut them all down with two or three axes, or three or five axes at most.

Kratos quickly transported the special wood back to a small wooden house deep in the forest. Inside the house was a wooden table filled with white candles and flower petals, and in the center was a tightly wrapped body.

The little boy Atreus walked into the dark house and lit the candles near the body one by one with a candle, accompanied by epic and sad music.

The little boy's sad prayer sounded:
"Look, I see my mother..."

"Look, I see my Father..."

"Look, they are calling me..."

The little boy leaned against his mother, wanting to feel her last warmth.

At this time, I turned around and saw a burly and silent figure standing in the shadow of the door.

When Zang Shanhai heard the boy's prayer, he felt a deep sadness and saw this very simple but exotic funeral ceremony of Chong'an.

Such a simple scene.

But it stirs up strong emotions.

Bring an extraordinary sense of immersion.

Zang Shanhai had to admit that the secret realm of Miracle City was done very well. He had never experienced this feeling in decades of adventuring.

And facing the sad boy.

Zang Shanhai couldn't help but want to say a few words of comfort.

But he hadn't had contact with the child for too long and didn't know how to comfort such a poor child who lost his mother at a young age.

The last words came to my lips.

He simply said, "Are you ready?"

Atreus wiped away his tears and nodded, "I'm ready!"

Zang Shanhai picked up his wife and placed her on the crematorium. Then he used the sparks from the battle axe to ignite the kindling. The flames quickly rose up and engulfed the crematorium.

When he saw his wife, with whom he had been living day and night, engulfed in flames.

Zang Shanhai could clearly feel that a deep sadness was rising from the depths of the heart of this serious man who was used to life and death.

"Mother!"

Atreus suddenly lost control of his emotions and pounced into the flames, taking out a dagger that his mother had used during her lifetime from the tightly wrapped shroud.

Atreus' hand was burned immediately.

Seeing this, Zang Shanhai immediately bent down, grabbed a handful of snow, and put it in his son's little hand. Then he picked up Fei's relic dagger and handed it to Atreus.

Zang Shanhai wanted to prevent Atreus from getting even more sad because of witnessing his mother's cremation, and also to test whether he should take Atreus with him to find the highest peak of the Nine Realms.

He proposed to take Atreus hunting to test him. Although Atreus was very young, he was good at using bows and arrows, and his archery skills were very good.

however.

In the process of action.

He also revealed very serious problems.

First, there was the issue of inexperience, and secondly, the inability to control one's anger and fear, especially after being attacked by a mountain monster. This was clearly not the behavior of a qualified warrior.

Zang Shanhai realized.

I'm afraid my son is not ready.

This journey to find the highest mountain in the Nine Realms is extremely dangerous.

It is extremely irresponsible to bring this child with you rashly.

When Zang Shanhai returned to the cabin with his son, the raging fire had turned the house into a pile of ashes, and his wife Fei's body had been completely burned. He personally placed the ashes, which were still warm, into a special bag.

Just as he entered the room and was about to have a good talk with his son.

Suddenly a terrible whistling sound came from the sky.

Atreus: "What's that sound?"

A stranger's voice came from outside: "Come out, I know you are in there, and I know who you are..."

Kratos's expression changed.

He realized that the situation was not good.

He immediately told his son to hide and keep silent.

Zang Shanhai had been suspicious for a long time.

Because according to Kratos' memory, he has been living in seclusion in this place for more than ten years, and no foreign monsters or outsiders have ever been able to get close. Why did so many undead and mountain monsters appear in the woods just after his wife died?
And the stranger who appears at this moment is probably not a good person!
