Secret Realm Planning

A new secret realm?

The adventurers' interest was instantly maxed out!

Pig King: "How long has Miracle City even been established? And planning for the second secret realm has already begun?"

Lone Wolf: "Isn't this way too fast?!"

Bright Moon Reflecting Snow immediately asked on behalf of the adventurers, "My Lord, what will Miracle City's second secret realm be like? Could you reveal some information to us in advance?"

Cat MeowMeow: "Will it be a newly designed Zombie stage?"

Wool Warrior: "Please, give us a sneak peek!"

"..."

Boss Qi had deliberately brought up the topic.

He wanted to leak a little information to the adventurers in advance.

Only then could he better fool these guys into charging forward for the territory's second secret realm.

"The timing for creating the new secret realm has not yet matured, so it is currently confidential. However, I can reveal a few estimates."

All the adventurers craned their necks and pricked up their ears.

Qi Ji continued, "Miracle City's second secret realm, and indeed all future secret realms, will not contain Zombie-type monsters!"

The adventurers were all stunned.

Black Stone Hammer King asked in confusion, "If we're not fighting Zombies, then what are we fighting? Isn't that Miracle City's biggest defining feature?"

"Although Miracle City will create many secret realms in the future, there will never be reused assets or repeated elements. Every secret realm will have a distinct and unique style!"

Qi Ji promised, "This Lord will never make reskinned secret realms!"

The moment those words came out.

Everyone was stunned.

He was talking that big?

Wasn't he afraid those words would come back to bite him?

How could anyone possibly avoid reskins and asset reuse entirely these days?

It was only natural for the adventurers to think so. Their understanding was limited by their own horizons. Naturally, they had never seen a truly top-tier genius lord, much less someone as extraordinary as Qi Ji.

As for his plans for future secret realms.

Qi Ji had thought them through from the very beginning.

The biggest problem he faced was that he had too many high-quality assets and too few cores.

To maximize his advantages.

He had to consolidate the resources in his hands.

Qi Ji planned to stitch and merge all assets of the same type together. He only needed to create one secret realm for each type and style.

For example, "Doomsday Frenzy."

This was a secret realm specifically designed to merge Biohazard Zombie-themed games with shooting survival games.

It had currently incorporated the "Left 4 Dead" series and the "Resident Evil" series. In the future, all assets with similar styles and themes, whether from games, anime, or film and television, could provide material for this secret realm's update packs.

Not only that.

Any related gameplay.

Such as Zombie survival, battle royale, and so on.

Most shooting games could be integrated into it.

And how many such assets were there? Theoretically, updates could continue endlessly. There would always be new gameplay, new chapters, and brand-new expansion packs. Its potential was inexhaustible!

The first secret realm was like this!

Future secret realms would be made according to the same principle.

Qi Ji would work to activate more Inspiration Crystals.

All acquired assets of the same type would be used to fill out and create a single secret realm.

Every secret realm would be continuously updated over a long period of time. They would grow alongside Miracle Territory, always remaining fresh and vibrant, never cooling off or becoming obsolete with time.

Qi Ji's goal was.

To ensure that every audience and every fan of every style could find a secret realm they loved and always have something to look forward to!

These secret realms.

Could be categorized by style.

For example, a secret realm with a martial arts style could merge all martial arts assets, creating a grand martial arts world filled with the spirit of the jianghu.

For example, a xianxia-style secret realm could merge all xianxia elements, creating a world of Immortal Cultivation and magical duels.

Likewise, Soulslike, mythology, cosmic, urban, horror, and other genres could all create grand worlds.

They could also be divided by gameplay.

Strategy games, casual games, Roguelike games, sandbox games, and so on could each become their own secret realm.

As long as the assets did not conflict, had relatively similar styles, and their plots, settings, and Worldview were logically consistent, it would work.

Some Worldviews could be stitched together directly. Others were not convenient to merge or drastically alter, so the latter could become independent stages under the banner of parallel worlds or expansion packs, preserving their original flavor and structural integrity.

Take the best from each.

Make up for each other's shortcomings.

And ultimately create a whole series of secret realms.

Miracle City's future secret realms might not necessarily be the most numerous, but their content would absolutely be the richest!

Of course, these were merely Qi Ji's strategies. They were still only at the planning stage, so there was no need to explain them too clearly to the adventurers. Even if he did, they might not understand.

And even if they understood.

They might not believe it.

There was no need to waste words.

He only needed to carry it out with unwavering resolve!

Although Qi Ji had not revealed much, it was enough to stir intense anticipation among the adventurers. Boss Qi felt that the timing was about right and was about to ask to recover the Fire-Spraying Tracker Essence Soul that had just dropped.

Fooling adventurers.

Was an essential skill for a lord.

Boss Qi had already prepared himself.

Along with several negotiation plans.

Just as he began to deploy his usual tactics.

White Crane Hermit stepped forward on his own initiative.

"This old man wishes to apply to turn in this 'Fire-Spraying Tracker Essence Soul'!"

What was going on?

I haven't even said anything yet.

Why did the Old Geezer offer himself up?

Black Stone Hammer King said, "Why, Old Dean? This Soul Essence is a rare and hard-to-come-by treasure!"

White Crane Hermit said, "This Soul Essence is of no use to me for the time being. Miracle City certainly needs it more than this old man does!"

How difficult was it to be a Dungeon Lord?

One only had to glance through the group chat to find out.

Every lord had to worry not only about territory construction and resisting External Enemies, but also rack their brains over resource recovery. Even ordinary Soul Essences were difficult enough, much less high-value ones.

Some territories.

Had decent Soul Essence production.

Yet recovered less than one-tenth of it.

Such Dungeons were destined to suffer long-term losses and struggle to survive. If they did not make changes, bankruptcy and closure were inevitable!

Nan Xi Li Ya was stunned.

She had not expected White Crane Hermit to voluntarily hand over his Soul Essence.

These adventurers were not of high rank, and this Soul Essence was undoubtedly an extremely precious treasure to them!

If the territory obtained this Soul Essence.

Its strength would certainly rise dramatically!

Its significance at this stage was enormous!

Nan Xi Li Ya could not help reflecting on whether she had been too narrow-minded.

Lord Qi could not possibly be unaware of the risks and unpredictability of adventurers.

Yet he remained open and upright, wholeheartedly creating excellent secret realms.

He had never actively recovered Soul Essences, nor did he stoop to trickery and deceit. Yet he had achieved victory without a move, subduing his opponents without fighting.

The adventurers were always willing to offer up their Soul Essences voluntarily.

This was undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and trust a Dungeon could receive.

What was this called?

The bearing of a king!

Lord Qi Ji was far too special.

Miracle City was truly far too special!

"This old man has only two conditions."

"Speak freely."

"First, I wish to become Miracle City's Contract Adventurer. My First Order Soul Essence will be contracted to this Tank Essence Soul!"

White Crane Hermit still had a Tank Zombie Essence Soul in his possession.

Black Stone Town's Top Adventurer, a legendary figure who had retired ten years ago and was now the Old Dean of the Adventurer Academy, was actually applying to become Miracle City's Contract Adventurer?

"The Old Dean has decided to come out of retirement!"

"Black Stone Town's Top Adventurer has decided to re-cultivate in Miracle City? This is absolutely explosive news!"

"This will definitely make the Forum Headline today!"

Bright Moon Reflecting Snow was overjoyed.

It seemed that the Old Master had finally untied the knot in his heart from all those years ago!

Miracle City's potential and appeal had reignited his passion and fighting spirit for adventure.

Though Advanced in Age, he had once reached the level of a Fourth Rank Adventurer. He also had sufficient resources at hand. As long as he came out of retirement, he would surely make a breakthrough soon. Miracle City's emergence had truly helped him immensely!

Qi Ji nodded. "Agreed!"

Such adventurers were unwelcome in other Dungeons.

But Miracle City needed experienced veteran experts like this.

Only then could it improve the quantity and quality of Soul Essence production.

"My second request is that when Xiao Xue breaks through to Second Order, Miracle City must prioritize providing her with a Second Rank Essence Soul."

The first request was for himself.

The second request was for Bright Moon Reflecting Snow.

Qi Ji found it reasonable and not excessive, so naturally he did not haggle. Moreover, as the first person to turn in a Second Rank Essence Soul, White Crane Hermit was awarded 1,000 Contribution Points.

The terms were settled.

The recovery proceeded smoothly.

The Flamethrower Tracker was in hand.

Qi Ji now possessed all the conditions needed to create Second Order combat power.

This was one small step for Miracle City.

But it was an extremely important step.

Business hours were about to end early.

Boss Qi could now tally the day's earnings.

The adventurers had been quite capable, so today's gains were very considerable!
