Revelation

First clear achieved.

This was a historic moment for the adventurers!

Standing amid the cheering crowd, Nan Xi Li Ya felt conflicted.

She had to admit it.

This adventure had been tense, thrilling, spectacular, and full of climactic twists!

The production quality and brilliant design of the Raging Tide Secret Realm's Second Level had surpassed everyone's imagination.

The secret realms Nan Xi Li Ya knew and the secret realms of Miracle City could practically be considered two entirely different things.

This secret realm's production...

Was simply a work of art.

As a spectator, she felt as though she had just watched a grand drama filled with twists and turns!

Nan Xi Li Ya would never forget the mad sight of tens of thousands of Zombies surging forth like a flood, nor would she ever forget the image of the adventurers controlling a heavy multi-barreled Machine Gun and mowing down hordes of corpses single-handedly, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

It was too spectacular!

Too shocking!

Did such a weapon really exist?

Could it possibly be manifested into reality?

If her territory were equipped with several such heavy Machine Guns, it would be enough to handle every threat in the early stages and crush any enemy invasion!

As for the adventurers?

They adapted to circumstances, brave and resourceful.

They could always assess the situation in a flash, then make the right decision without hesitation...

Though Nan Xi Li Ya was reluctant to admit it, they truly deserved this glorious victory!

Alas, the thing she had worried about most had still happened!

For such a top-tier, highly difficult secret realm...

The adventurers should have repeatedly learned through trial and error, dying dozens or even hundreds of times each on average before finally becoming skilled enough to clear it. That would have been the normal progression.

Yet now...

From being unlocked to being cleared...

It had taken less than three days in total.

Too fast!

For a territory hoping to operate over the long term, this would probably be quite a blow. She wondered how the lord would react when he learned the news.

Of course, Little Chaser had done its best.

It was not that this General of the territory had failed to give its all.

The adventurers were simply too cunning and too difficult to deal with!

At that moment, the adventurers suddenly erupted into fervent cheers again, making her expression change once more.

"A Soul Essence dropped!"

"A Soul Essence dropped!"

"Come take a look! The Old Dean got a Soul Essence, and it's the Tracker!"

"What?"

"It dropped already?"

"Let me see!"

"..."

Everyone crowded around.

Tracker Soul Essence, a two-star White Essence Soul!

"It really was an elite monster!"

"It's actually two-star quality!"

Everyone revealed looks of surprise and delight.

White Crane Hermit had once reached above the Fourth Order, but he was now only First Order.

It was not impossible for adventurers to farm Soul Essences above their own rank, but the chances would be greatly reduced.

Even so...

The Raging Tide Secret Realm had still produced this precious Soul Essence. Whether for White Crane Hermit personally or for all adventurers, it was a tremendous surprise and encouragement.

"Not bad at all!"

"Faster than expected!"

Qi Ji received the news immediately, and he was thrilled as well. Miracle City's first Second Rank Essence Soul had appeared!

If he could recover it...

He would have high-end combat power!

Not only could he sweep aside the Goblin Tribe occupying Black Bone Camp.

He could even go head-to-head with Bloodthroat, the Dark Lord!

Qi Ji therefore personally entered the Secret Realm Lobby. As expected, these bumpkins who had achieved a major breakthrough and were riding high would once again show off and brag.

"Lord Qi!"

"You finally couldn't sit still, could you?"

"Let's see if you can still smile this time! After the Tank and the Witch, another General has been defeated!"

"It's not that you're incapable, Lord."

"It's just that we're too good!"

"Don't be discouraged. Keep up the effort and work harder—we'll continue supporting you!"

"No need to force a smile."

"Men can cry. It's no crime!"

"..."

The adventurers hoped to see frustration or disappointment on Boss Qi's face.

This was one of their usual guilty pleasures, and one of the sources of joy in challenging Dungeons!

However...

They were disappointed again.

Boss Qi remained calm and composed, smiling faintly.

It was as though he would never worry about the monsters under his command being defeated by adventurers.

"You defeated the Fire-Spraying Tracker so quickly. You did indeed do well. Congratulations to all adventurers on your progress!"

Qi Ji changed the subject.

"However, although all of you cleared Doomsday Frenzy's Second Level in only two days, you are still far from fully exploring the secret realm. You will need to work even harder!"

The adventurers' smiles froze.

Black Stone Hammer King said, "What does that mean? Don't tell me you've still got some big stuff you haven't revealed!"

Irritable Little Chicken said, "No way, right? Doomsday Frenzy's current scale and content already make it practically the largest First Order Dungeon secret realm in Black Stone Town!"

Sleeping in the Wind said, "Does Doomsday Frenzy's Third Level have monsters even stronger than the Tracker?"

Bumpkins would always be bumpkins!

How far had they even gotten?

Qi Ji said calmly, "This lord cannot reveal too much, but I can tell all adventurers that Doomsday Frenzy's potential is far from exhausted. The Tracker is absolutely not the strongest monster!"

"What?"

"There are stronger ones?"

"The Second Level was already no joke."

"Could the Third Level be even harder?"

Bright Moon Reflecting Snow was both shocked and delighted. "The Third Level isn't even the end?"

Cat MeowMeow asked, "Just how many levels does Lord Qi plan to create?"

Qi Ji began dropping revelations:

"I cannot disclose the exact number."

"However, this lord can guarantee that every level will feature different designs and brand-new monsters!"

"Doomsday Frenzy's Third Level is only the beginning!"

"Starting from that level..."

"Every level's content will be connected to the story and other modes."

"In other words, the more levels you clear, the more information you can obtain. The Story Chapters you can unlock, and even the gameplay modes available to you, will be updated and expanded accordingly."

"Please continue working hard, adventurers!"

"..."

In other words...

Starting from the Third Level...

Every level of the Raging Tide Secret Realm...

Would serve as a teaser trailer for Story Mode or other expansions.

Some story monsters would appear within them, along with elements from new expansions and new gameplay. Once adventurers challenged a level, they could unlock the corresponding Story Chapter or updated content.

All the adventurers were dumbfounded.

"Holy shit, is Lord Qi's Sea of Inspiration bottomless? How does he have so much material?"

"This is great!"

"Forget three levels!"

"Thirty levels wouldn't be too many!"

"Does this young lord really have no creative bottleneck?"

"The more high-quality secret realms like this, the better. Lord Qi, when will you create the later levels?"

"..."

After their brief shock...

Every adventurer revealed both suspicion and delight.

Although some felt the lord was boasting, every adventurer hoped it was true.

After all, most adventurers were like greedy locusts, moving between Dungeons. Once they finished devouring one Dungeon, they went to devour the next. Who would ever complain about a secret realm having too much content?

The more, the better.

The more, the better!

This would not only attract Tourist Adventurers.

It would also put Contract Adventurers more at ease.

The greater the foundation and momentum Miracle City displayed, the more it proved that it was a potential-filled Dungeon where they could settle for the long term!

Nan Xi Li Ya had still been saddened by the adventurers defeating the Fire-Spraying Tracker.

But upon hearing Qi Ji's words, her eyes immediately lit up. If Lord Qi was not merely putting on a show, then he was undoubtedly the most talented lord she had ever heard of!

Then...

Was he merely putting on a show?

Nan Xi Li Ya instinctively felt that he was not.

Though she had not been in Miracle City for long, Nan Xi Li Ya felt that Lord Qi Ji was unfathomable. He was also exceptionally open and upright, not someone who would make empty promises.

That also explained...

Why the lord had always remained calm and unhurried in the face of the adventurers' repeated breakthroughs.

The adventurers were still asking questions.

Trying to dig out more intelligence.

Qi Ji would later have to persuade the adventurers to hand over the Tracker Soul Essence, so he did not mind saying a little more now.

What the adventurers asked most often was...

When new levels and new content would be released.

It had to be said, these people were greedy beyond measure!

They had not even finished playing the existing levels and content, yet they were already urging the lord to develop more.

"Although the Doomsday Frenzy Secret Realm's potential is far from exhausted, before the adventurers clear the Third Level and two Story Chapters, this lord does not plan to create more content for the time being."

As the adventurers showed disappointment...

Qi Ji continued, "Because this lord will soon devote his energy to preparations for creating the Second Secret Realm."

He did not reveal more Doomsday Frenzy content.

Instead, he threw out news of a New Secret Realm.

Its appeal and impact on the adventurers were undoubtedly even greater!
