Chapter 216: Foundation

Half a Month.

The territory is in a period of rapid development.

Boss Qi couldn’t possibly lie flat on the beach in Los Santos every day, sunbathing and looking at bikini babes.

He had already completed the new round of territory development planning and prepared the secret realm update content in advance, so he could release the latest update content of the territory through the territory announcement immediately after the adventurers achieved a breakthrough in the Sui and Tang Chapter.

This round of secret realm updates will be carried out in two rounds: “sequel derivative content” and “brand new secret realm content.”

Qi Ji’s main energy during this time was used on the former.

What is sequel derivative?

As the name suggests.

This is an update based on the existing secret realm.

This kind of update does not require new activation of Sea of Souls Crystals to obtain materials. Using the existing material library storage can add a lot of content to the territory, and the number of materials Qi Ji currently holds is very large.

If the total amount of material reserves is 100.

The proportion of the part that has been used so far is only a single digit.

With so many remaining reserve materials, even handcrafting completely different new secret realms, theoretically, it can be done, it’s just a matter of spending a little more time.

Of course, there is no need to waste time and effort to do pure original work for the time being.

It’s like Qi Ji still has a dozen different Biohazard series works that haven’t been adapted.

From the Biohazard successive generations main stories, to various derivative games, films, and anime, enough to continuously update high-quality secret realm content for the Raging Tide Secret Realm “Bio-Past” chapter.

As of now, the Raging Tide Biohazard series has updated six chapters.

Each chapter is adapted from the original work. Although the individual length is not too long, the plot and quality are commendable. Leon and other characters are already one of the popular figures in Miracle City.

Qi Ji will not only continue to build the Biohazard series chapters for a long time.

The “Blacklight’s Arrival” of the Raging Tide Secret Realm, as a special paid secret realm, is currently quite popular in Miracle City, and it also creates huge revenue for the territory, which is a project worthy of special attention.

Currently.

Based on the second generation of Prototype.

The “Dark Prototype” made for the Blacklight Chapter has been completed.

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

Every adventurer who achieves the “Dark Prototype” ending can unlock this dlc, thereby role-playing as the second generation’s Brother Black from the original work and challenging the blackened version of Alex.

As a paid secret realm.

To ensure the experience of the adventurers.

Prototype 2, although it continues the refreshing and bloody mowing the lawn style of the previous generation.

But the original second generation work was obviously not as careful as the first generation. There was not enough innovation, and the character depiction was not deep enough.

To ensure that the adventurers get their money’s worth.

Qi Ji optimized the second generation original work extensively.

The Miracle City “Dark Prototype dlc” not only has a larger size and a wider range of exploration, but also has more refreshing and passionate side-quest combats. More importantly, it has greatly enhanced the strength, pressure, and expressiveness of the blackened Alex.

Generally speaking, it will be more refreshing, more stimulating, and more fun.

This content will be open tomorrow.

This matter has already caused a huge sensation and discussion among the adventurers group, because the boss of “Dark Prototype” has been confirmed to be the dark version of Alex.

It’s such a gimmick!

Let the adventurers challenge the protagonist they personally created and cultivated.

This kind of brainhole and creativity is very fresh and interesting to the adventurers.

Qi Ji cleverly divided the world line of the Blacklight Chapter into two, the blackened Alex is just a dlc derived from a bad ending, not an orthodox sequel.

The adventurers can also completely accept it emotionally.

When thinking that defeating Alex has a higher probability of bursting out Essence Soul.

The excited and excited mood of these adventurers can be imagined!

Everyone knows that at the end of the Blacklight’s Arrival chapter story, whether it’s defeating the Supreme Hunter to achieve a good ending, or being absorbed and blackened by the Supreme Hunter, Alex ultimately evolves into a monster who can survive a nuclear bomb with his flesh.

This is not only a Fourth Rank powerful Essence Soul, but also very likely to be Rare Grade quality!

If you can get this Essence Soul, your survival ability and special operations will be invincible!

Whether it’s a gimmick or a reward.

Or the refreshing experience of the secret realm itself.

It’s all worth looking forward to!

Therefore, when the “Dark Prototype” related content is released through the Adventurer’s Guild in the form of an announcement, whether it’s the Adventurer Forum, the forums in Miracle City, or places like offline taverns, hundreds and thousands of adventurers are discussing this matter, and the popularity is very high.

Alex’s super high popularity and strength.

Makes the adventurers have great expectations.

One after another can’t wait to experience the super refreshing new Blacklight story!

Of course.

Qi Ji can’t be partial to one and neglect the other.

Just focusing on the Doomsday Tide Secret Realm for updates.

Miracle City also has two main secret realms, Ten Kingdoms Chronicle and Star Sea, that can be updated.

Ten Kingdoms Chronicle has two major main stories: Ashina and Sui and Tang Dynasties.

Although he once said that he would consider making an Inner Ministry dlc for the Ashina chapter, considering that the available Eastern Ying materials are not enough to create a Dark Shogunate with enough features, this matter has been temporarily shelved.

The territory doesn’t lack secret realms.

There’s no need to build a secret realm with insufficient quality in order to make up the numbers.

Qi Ji has a pursuit of the quality of the secret realm, either don’t do it or do the best.

As for the Sui and Tang Chapter sequel?

There are no problems and difficulties in terms of production.

Qi Ji originally planned to adapt “Beyond the Clouds and Mountains” to perfect the Sui and Tang story, or to build a dlc around the first and second generation protagonists, namely Immortal Weng and Immortal Guyue, the related clues and foreshadowing have already been laid.

With the vast material library accumulated from the successive generations of Xuan-Yuan Sword works in hand.

If Qi Ji creates the Yunshan sequel, he will definitely have the ability to make up for the regrets of the original’s insufficient completion in the later stages, and finally present the adventurers with a Tang Dynasty prosperous age full of Classic of Mountains and Seas fantasy style and magnificent atmosphere.

At the same time, he can also use other materials.

To further enrich the countries in the French, Venetian, and Arabian regions.

Thereby creating a longer fantasy journey that is more in line with the dark and strange worldview of the Foreign Lands Ten Kingdoms Chronicle.

The problem is.

It’s too early to release it now.

Currently, only Biyan Hua has cleared the Sui and Tang Chapter, and she has only discovered one ending of the Sui and Tang main story, while Qi Ji has produced at least eight different endings in Sui and Tang.

There are several tragic endings from the original work, and also several endings that are relatively easier to accept, but they are hidden very deeply, and the conditions for achieving them are extremely harsh.

The Divine Continent main story is too large.

It cannot be fully explored in a few months.

Why rush to release the sequel and expansion pack?

However, although the two major main stories of the Ten Kingdoms Chronicle will not update derivative or sequel content in a short period of time, the matter of creating a third brand new chapter can be put on the agenda immediately.

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

Qi Ji also has updates and planning to do.

After all, it is the newest main secret realm, so it has relatively less content compared to the previous two, and the only official chapter, “Titan Chapter,” as a linear plot gameplay, its process size is relatively small.

Of course, Qi Ji considered this point.

Therefore, he promptly updated an “Arena Mode”.

Adventurers who feel unfulfilled after finishing the main plot can enter the arena mode at any time to experience the pleasure of mecha combat, which has become one of the three major competitive gameplay of Miracle City, along with the Raging Tide Arena Mode and the Final Arena’s Fighting.

This kind of gameplay.

Can be long-lasting.

With the excellent and elite plot of the Titan Chapter to guide the flow.

And with interesting and competitive PK combat.

In the future, with the further growth of the popularity of the Underground City, especially the use of Thunder City, where the Star Sea Secret Realm is located, there will definitely be more and more adventurers entering the Star Sea, so there is no need to worry about popularity at all.

That said.

Compared to the Raging Tide and Ten Kingdoms Chronicle.

The content of the Star Sea Secret Realm is indeed still too little.

Qi Ji decided to go both ways, on the one hand, continue to update the content, on the other hand, speed up the creation of a new chapter.

The Titan Chapter story is adapted and remade using 《 Titanfall 2 》 as a prototype. Since there is 2, there must be 1. He can also make some articles using the first generation’s materials, plot, and gameplay.

Qi Ji then updated a “Multiplayer Plot Level” gameplay for the Star Sea Titan Chapter.

In his previous life, 《 Titanfall 2 》 was a well-known masterpiece, and it is rare for those who understand single-player games to not have heard of it, while the first generation seems to have no sense of existence, or even be unknown.

Why?

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

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

In simple terms, it is to divide multiple players into two factions, one playing the Resistance, and the other playing the IMC, without a traditional main line, each chapter is a new scene.

After the opening animation ends each time.

A carefully designed faction competition will take place.

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

The content is still very interesting.

There are many careful and creative designs.

As for why it is not popular, it is also easy to guess, even if the map scenes and mechanism designs are careful, this kind of multiplayer experience mode has too high a threshold.

But in Miracle City.

It can run perfectly.

After all, the territory will not lack traffic in the future.

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

Then design a large number of new maps, new scenes, and new plots to create a series of interesting combat levels.

These levels are different from the Raging Tide’s level mode. The Raging Tide’s level is to enjoy the thrill of slaughtering zombies and blood splashing everywhere, while the Titan Chapter combines the three elements of multiplayer levels, competition, and plot.

Adventurers can go through a series of fragmented wars.

Thus, they can piece together a series of new plots and stories, and can also be used to perfect the worldview of the Star Sea Secret Realm.

For example.

If you plan to make a Star Wars series secret realm.

Qi Ji can put Star Wars series elements into the Titan Chapter in advance and make it into a level, and put some Star Wars robots, such as Destroyers, which can bring freshness and lay the groundwork for the appearance of new content.

……

Finally, a summary.

The update announced today.

Is mainly based on sequel derivatives.

Launch the Blacklight’s Arrival chapter “Dark Prototype dlc.”

Added the Star Sea Secret Realm Titan Chapter “Multiplayer Plot Combat” mode.

But in the future, Qi Ji is expected to successively build three main stories.

At the same time, he will adapt the Ten Kingdoms Chronicle with either “God of War” or “The Witcher”, and the Star Sea with one of “Star Wars”, “Halo”, “Dead Space”, and “StarCraft”.

In addition, quickly expand the territory.

Build the fourth secret realm for the territory.

These items must activate at least three Inspiration Crystals.

And Qi Ji currently has only two Sea of Souls activation times.

So he needs to increase the effort to purchase materials such as Sea of Consciousness Divine Conch or Spirit Sea Lost Pearl, or find another way to increase the opportunity to activate the Inspiration Crystals.

Regarding the fourth secret realm, according to the current plan, this will be a world view with a Cthulhu-style soul, integrating religion and mythology, and various sensational falling SAN art styles.

How to choose the opening work?

Cthulhu style or soul taste world.

There are currently many choices that meet the conditions.

Such as “Elden Ring”, “Darkest Dungeon”, “Warm Snow”, etc.

These are all excellent works, and it’s just a matter of time before they are created and presented.

Among the current options, the one with the most opening work temperament is undoubtedly “Elden Ring”.

The Elden Ring, a large open world game, has the lowest difficulty to remake, and its art, content, and plot are very solid.

There are various spectacles and exotic customs that adventurers like, as well as high-difficulty combat challenges, epic plot settings, and rich monsters, vivid characters, huge details and information.

It has Cthulhu.

It has soul taste.

It conforms to the worldview.

And it’s relatively restrained.

Not as niche as Darkest Dungeon.

And not as hardcore, twisted, and obscure as classic masterpieces like Bloodborne.

This is the main reason why Qi Ji chose Elden Ring as the opening work for this main secret realm.

Of course, Qi Ji needs to promote the territory to complete a new round of expansion. Only by seizing a Third Rank Dark Underground City can he build a new main secret realm core for the territory, and it will be difficult to achieve this goal in a short period of time.

Any territory.

Any underground city.

The most important work is “construction” and “expansion”.

Qi Ji’s work in the past half a month has been concentrated on internal construction.

He not only spent a lot of time optimizing the secret realm and creating new secret realm content, but also consumed a lot of territory resources to improve infrastructure, contract adventurers, purchase blueprints, materials, and secret realm commodities such as mechas.

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

The efforts and work during this time are equivalent to diligent cultivation.

But then again, it’s not enough to just work internally. Territory expansion is also a top priority.

The two complement each other and promote each other. Only by forming a virtuous cycle can the territory develop rapidly and continue to prosper and become stronger!

Miracle Territory has not been peaceful during this period.

It has encountered four relatively large-scale invasions.

But because of the home advantage, plus enough strategic depth, the adventurers are all like wolves and tigers, and the Darkness Race did not take advantage of the process.

Although there was no major loss.

But Qi Ji still dared not have any thoughts of underestimation.

The main threat currently faced by the territory is the Third Rank Dark Territory “Evil Wood Forest” in the northwest direction, and the opponent encountered this time is completely different from any of the past.

The previous opponents, such as Gloomy City, Thunder City, and Blood Howl City.

These First and Second Rank small fries are not worth mentioning in the Great Forest, they are as numerous as weeds, and they can’t be burned by wild fire, and they grow again in the spring breeze, and will not attract too much attention from other great powers.

The Third Rank is a watershed.

From the Third Rank, they are considered to be real feudal lords.

Every Third Rank power in the Eternal Night Forest has a backer, allies, and a considerable depth of history and foundation.

Behind the relationship.

Thousands of threads are intertwined and complex.

Sometimes pulling one hair will move the whole body.

They often have a population of ten thousand levels and combat power, and the directly controlled territory can generally reach three to five hundred miles, and the indirectly controlled territory will double on this basis.

For example.

The Gloomy Valley where Gloomy City is located is a vassal of Thunder City.

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

This dark main city has about four fortresses or large settlements within its directly controlled territory, and within the range of its rule, there are a dozen or so First and Second Rank local underground cities of various sizes.

Among them.

There are four Second Rank affiliated territories.

That is to say, in addition to the Thunder City and Blood Howl City annexed by Qi Ji Territory, there are also two affiliated Second Rank Dark Underground Cities, but they are located in the north of the Evil Wood Forest, so they are not directly adjacent to Miracle City and did not fall into Qi Ji’s hands.

It can be seen from this.

How vast the power of the Evil Wood Forest is.

Evilwood City has a large number of Third Rank combat power, and the lord is a powerful Fourth Rank unit, and the elite troops are at least tens of thousands in scale, which is a huge monster that has never been seen before for Miracle City.

However, due to the constraints of the territory law.

The Evil Wood Forest will pay a heavy price if it enters Miracle Territory for cross-regional combat. Although Miracle City is still far less than the Evil Wood Forest in terms of size, it is completely unafraid if it is a home-field battle.

This is why.

Evilwood City launched several invasions.

Qi Ji neither took action in person nor launched the Monster Corps, relying solely on the mobilization of adventurers to drive them back.

Miracle City’s contracted adventurers have long exceeded a thousand, and there are dozens of Third Rank strong, the home-field advantage 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 on the periphery of the Black Iron Mountain Range, which is in the south of Evil Wood Territory, they have successively taken several settlements, although they are only small camps and small tribal strongholds, but they also have tactical significance and have increased the strategic depth of the territory.

It can be seen.

After several open and secret strifes.

Although the Evil Wood Forest has an absolute size advantage.

They did not take advantage of Miracle Territory, but instead suffered some losses.

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

The strange thing is that the Evil Wood Forest has been unusually quiet in recent days, and has not organized the troops to harass the territory again, but this abnormal calm and restraint is not necessarily a good thing.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The Dark Lord wants to brew a big one.

Qi Ji is full of confidence in his own territory, but he will not sit idly by and watch the enemy gaze like a tiger. And with the rapid development of the territory during this period, the time for another expansion is gradually becoming mature.

Instead of passively accepting the challenge.

It is better to take the initiative and take the initiative.

“Lord, all the Skill Stones you want are here.”

As Eisei bowed slightly and reported, the Flower Fairy maid brought up small boxes, and these small boxes were filled with Skill Stones, and most of the skills produced by Miracle City in the past and recently are here.

【 Skill Stone: Lightning Reversal Secret Sword Technique 】, Second Rank skill, learning cost: 10 Spiritual Power…

【 Skill Stone: Black Particle 】, Second Rank skill, learning cost: 25 Spiritual Power…

【 Skill Stone: Way of the Blade Secret Sword Technique 】, Third Rank skill, learning cost: 50 Spiritual Power…

【……】

【 Skill Stone: Guiguzi Swordplay 】, Third Rank technique, learning cost: 450 Spiritual Power…

【 Skill Stone: Guiguzi Daoist Arts 】, Third Rank technique, learning cost: 600 Spiritual Power…

……

Miracle City has produced dozens of different Skill Stones, except for a few Rare Ultimate Techniques and rare secret techniques, the others are all here.

Skill Stones can be divided into two types: conventional Skill Stones and technique Skill Stones.

Conventional skills generally refer to a single technique or magic.

Technique skills belong to cultivation methods, which contain several or more usable skills, so the learning cost is often very high, and ordinary adventurers need to be disassembled in batches to practice.

However.

For Qi Ji.

This doesn’t count.

The Underground City closed today.

Qi Ji’s Spiritual Power reserve is as high as 100,000, and he used all the twenty or thirty Skill Stones in one breath, and the total Spiritual Power consumption is only a few thousand.

This small consumption is completely insignificant.

When various fighting secret techniques from the King of Fighters world, the Guiguzi secret methods from the Sui and Tang Dynasties world, and the Eastern Ying secret swordsmanship from the Ashina Country, all at once become proficient and mastered.

Qi Ji can clearly feel that with the practice of these swordplay and secret techniques, his body has also gained a significant enhancement.

Of course.

This enhancement is the diminishing marginal effect.

For example, the enhancement brought by practicing the first set of Second Rank swordplay is 10, the enhancement effect becomes 2 when practicing the second set, and it becomes 1 when practicing the third set…

Qi Ji is actually not weak.

After all, he himself has reached Fifth Order cultivation.

And he has also stored a shocking number of high-quality Essence Souls.

Qi Ji uses the power of these Essence Souls through the Lord Skills through fusion, bestowing, summoning, and relying on the vast Spiritual Power reserves, he can exert powerful strength with this alone.

Moreover, Qi Ji can also summon high-level people through the method of summoning his people.

Such as Elder Artus, Nancy Liya, etc., to come to his side to provide protection.

The reason why he learns these skills is nothing more than to improve his basic strength and be more secure.

Most of the time, it is not necessary for the lord to take action in person, but this does not mean that the lord does not need any combat power at all, because there will always be emergencies during the management of the territory.

As the soul of the territory.

The lord’s safety is above all else.

In addition, although in more than ninety-five percent of the battles, it is not necessary for Qi Ji to take action or appear in person, but occasionally encountering some particularly tricky situations, if he has the strength to turn the tide, it is naturally the best.

After Qi Ji improved his own strength foundation.

He then took stock of the territory’s monsters, Essence Souls, and equipment inventory.

Miracle Territory currently has about one thousand four hundred Monster Soldiers.

Although the number is not very large.

But the quality is very high.

Among them, First Rank four or five-star units account for 70%, the main forces are Tank Zombies, Witch Zombies, Ashina Group Leaders, Sui Army Captains, and the trial version Tyrant, in addition, there are nearly twenty different high-quality First Rank monsters.

Among them, Second Rank one-star to three-star units account for 20%, mostly T103 Tyrant Zombies, Flamethrower Trackers, Rocket Launcher Trackers, Sui Army Captains, Ashina Generals, Blacklight Super Soldiers, a small number of Blacklight Hunters, G3 creatures, and Leech Queens, etc.

Second Rank four or five-star units account for nearly 10%, mainly Gatling Gun Trackers, Cursed Tyrants, a small number of Biohazard Mother Zombies, and insect-attached Guardian Apes, etc.

Although there are not many Third Rank units, there are also twenty-one, including Headless, Seven-Faced, Thousand-Year-Old Jiaoyu Spirit, Thousand-Year-Old Stone Lion Spirit, Thousand-Year-Old Fox Spirit, Demon Swordsman, and Supreme Hunter.

These monsters.

It is a little insufficient to attack cities and seize land.

Protecting the main city and protecting the territory is more than enough.

Why doesn’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 produce a huge consumption, but these monsters also consume energy on a daily basis when they are raised in the territory.

Over time.

It’s a burden on the finances.

Qi Ji therefore only built three Third Rank Monster Camps in Miracle City.

These reserve monsters only consume and do not produce, which is a bit of a loss, and if you want to solve this problem, you need to build related supporting facilities, and the current number of monsters is enough to maintain the stability of the territory.

It is not difficult to see from the monster types.

Qi Ji is more inclined 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, which can play a little role.

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

Including.

First Rank Essence Soul （ no less than two-star ）: About 10,000!

Second Rank Essence Soul, about 1,000!

Third Rank Essence Soul: 148!

Qi Ji has so many Essence Souls in his hands, he can create a large number of combat power through Monster Camps, or Mercenary Houses at any time, enough to cope with various emergencies.

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

One of the biggest characteristics of Miracle City compared to other territories is its strong arms industry.

The current arms stored in the official warehouse of Miracle City:

In the First Rank equipment, all kinds of common guns, such as rifles, submachine guns, sniper rifles, shotguns, currently have a storage reserve of 2500, and various arms consumables, hand grenades, C4 bombs, etc., 300 copies.

Second Rank equipment, various heavy firepower weapons, such as rocket launchers, heavy machine guns, and several high-level firearms, accumulated more than one hundred.

Second Rank vehicles, 60 Hummer, 30 Black Hawk Helicopters, 20 M1A2 main battle tanks.

Why are these vehicles whole numbers?

Because adventurers rarely hand in this kind of thing, most of the ones Qi Ji has are purchased through the secret realm mall, and their purchase prices are not cheap.

As for the Third Rank arms, they are even rarer.

Qi Ji relies on procurement as the main method and recycling as the supplementary method. He has currently accumulated 20 High-Energy Arc Guns and 40 Titan Mechas of various models.

……

In summary.

This is the family property that Qi Ji has accumulated in the past month or so!

Of course.

Miracle Territory’s income in a month is not just that.

Part of it has not been collected in the hands of the adventurers, mainly vehicles or mechas, and these equipment, which are in the hands of the people, are essentially part of the Miracle City’s armament.

In addition, there is also a considerable part of Low-Level Essence Souls, guns, and arms. Qi Ji sells them through the Lord’s market and territory trade to maintain the construction of the territory during this period.

Even so.

In such a short time.

He can still accumulate such a thick family property.

The production and income capacity of Miracle City is imaginable!
