Skadi, returning to infinity

Skadi refused to answer the question outright, and instead reached out and pushed Medea's back, leading her into the courtyard.

He stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and after a while he sat down on a protruding pine tree.

"Yunlei City, this name... doesn't it also include Yuhuo City, Kuishui City, Houtu City, Jinge City, Jifeng City, and Qingmu City?"

Seven cities, each representing one of the seven elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder), are arranged in the pattern of the Big Dipper, protecting the capital city in the center.

What she just told Madam Lei—that she knew some information about Yunlei City—was just a casual remark; she didn't actually know the relevant details.

Now she was starting to wonder if there were any other cities besides Yunlei City.

"It seems I'll have to use my willpower to get Xiao Ai to make me a map of the Great Yan."

After pondering for a while, Skadi gave up on the idea of ​​continuing to think about it.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have Xiao Ai draw a map instead?

Although it takes a lot of effort, obtaining a complete map is very useful to her.

This will allow her to plan how to fully cooperate with Da Yan in the future.

Also, knowing the address when you receive a task makes it easier to complete.

Of course, another very important reason is whether or not it's possible to "find treasure".

Chapter 40: A Landscape Painting – I've Gained a Basic Understanding of This Country!

Skadi, who had lived in a separate world in her previous life, was quite clear about how many hidden missions existed in those worlds.

Although she was not involved in management in that world, and only participated in certain tasks, she still had some experience.

She doesn't have any "teammates" yet; everyone in her team is in the Gods' Space, not here.

Therefore, when she was alone in a world, she had to figure out from scratch how to trigger quests and what to do.

This is why she sometimes couldn't trigger certain tasks or completed them inexplicably.

It's like someone who has been protected and had everything arranged for them by their family for a long time, losing their autonomy, suddenly becoming an "orphan," having to rely on others for everything.

Starting from scratch, I also need to gradually adapt to the different tasks required for different roles.

That feeling was indeed very subtle, but it also made Skadi realize just how difficult it was to have teammates back then.

As the team leader, she can focus on the big picture without worrying about the details, but her teammates can't be as relaxed as she is.

There are seven people in total. She, the strongest fighter, is slacking off, while the other six are responsible for ensuring the safety and development of the world, as well as triggering various missions.

Running around in such a vast world is really quite troublesome.

She would definitely be overwhelmed if she were alone, but fortunately she has enough followers and summoned creatures, and she also has an organization.

help.

This kind of start is no longer considered starting from scratch. Building up one's strength and expanding one's influence will be much more difficult than starting out.

It's much simpler that way.

Here, this is the map you requested.

The entire landscape of the Great Yan Dynasty has been incorporated into it.

[But did you even see the message?]

Otherwise, how would I know there are seven cities, and that their names are all similar?

[Except for the fact that 'Fire City' is also known as 'Hellfire City,' all other names are the same.]

I suspect you're making fun of me.

While she was pondering these matters, Xiao Ai, at her behest, spent 100000 units of willpower to paint the magnificent landscape of the Great Yan Dynasty.

It was made.

This map is incredibly detailed, showing everything from the entire country's borders to the locations of caves, paths, and streams.

The map was loaded directly into the Xiao Ai system, so she can take it out whenever she needs it.

"Was this created by taking photos directly from a satellite and then stitching them together one by one?"

Skadi's fingers traced across the screen as she looked at the maps.

This is just a flat map. To create a 3D map, it will take another 15 willpower.

[This is only for the Great Yan Dynasty; to complete the entire scroll depicting the Terra continent, it would likely require 300 to 400 million units of willpower.]

[If you add the deep sea and unknown areas, it starts at 1000 million.]

To fully explore a world and maximize its benefits, these investments are essential.

【Dear Agent, what do you think?】

Skadi agreed with Xiao Ai's words. After all, she hadn't personally participated in the management, but she was very clear about how much her teammates were spending in the world.

Ferry poured so much effort into it.

The reason why less willpower was spent on that world on the map was mainly because the accumulated willpower and items obtained in other mission worlds could replace the system's willpower.

draw.

Even so, piecing together the information of the entire world still took more than three million units of willpower.

That world is much larger than the still unexplored world of Terra, but there are no gods in that world, and the highest level is SSS.

While the continent of Terra may not be teeming with gods, it certainly has a considerable number of them.

The composition of this world is also much more complex than that world. It took millions of willpower just to build one continent, which is already surprisingly low.

[Please note that this only covers the cost of drawing the map.]

The location of biological populations, the development of urban civilization, past history, the possible location of hidden resources and treasures, and the remains of ancient civilizations, etc.

of......】

These are not included; they require additional effort to unlock.

In other words, it will take at least 2000 million units of willpower to unlock all the supporting information.

However, the amount of spiritual energy that can be gained from these things is conservatively estimated to be more than that.

But this is a long-term return with additional benefits.

Whether you want to do it or not, I won't force you; it's your choice.

Xiao Ai's words made Skadi laugh.

"Is this the DLC?"

[No, this is a paid feature within the base game (crossed out)]

This time, Xiao Ai didn't speak, but instead held up a screen in front of her, displaying her answer.

So, are there any DLCs?

Skadi became increasingly curious. Since this was a paid item in the "base game," it was probably some kind of in-app purchase.

Are there any actual, usable DLC projects?

【Dear Miss Skadi, are you trying to unlock a new civilization instance?】

Seeing how enthusiastic she was, Xiao Ai seemed to have thought of something herself and began to feel eager to try it out.

"Civilization? Isn't that great? This world belongs to me, so I'll build it, make it stronger, and make all the races in this world complete."

Through repeated evolution, the world's civilization has advanced ever higher.

"This is a huge help to me."

Skadi became increasingly interested in this; if there really was a building system similar to Civilization, it would seem like a pretty good idea.

s Choice.

It's possible, but loading these files requires root privileges.

So the problem returns to its most pressing issue—we must fight the Gods' Game to the death before I can truly be alone.

stand.】

At this point, I can only provide you with some resources and methods for construction; I cannot launch a similar construction system.

However, if you intend to develop in that direction, spending resources on construction now would be a complete waste.

[Because the construction system is now active, all construction costs will be reduced by 70%.]

What you build now will cost you dearly once the construction system is actually implemented.

Xiao Ai's reminder made Skadi raise an eyebrow. Goodness, a 70% reduction? She really needed to be careful.

"By the way, Xiao Ai, is this 150% bonus to willpower not effective for all types?"

"I feel like I haven't received any bonuses for these recent tasks."

"Are there any conditions that need to be met?"

Now that the issue of willpower has been brought up, Skadi began to agonize over her recent gains.

This bonus is currently only effective in the mission world.

This is temporarily ineffective in one's own world.

However, if the final 300% bonus is achieved, it will grant a 50% bonus to the power of will gained in this world, which is equivalent to your current...

At a multiplier of 150%.

"Why?" There really was no bonus! Damn it!

Skadi needed to figure out what was going on; she didn't want to lose so much willpower.

[Because this is a bonus I'm giving you through my privilege.]

This bonus applies to "games of the gods," so you'll receive a boost there.
