"If it is a micro Teleportation Array, it does not require much space material and the price will not be very expensive."
"How much will it cost exactly?"
"In this way, you buy the space materials yourself, and I will make a list for you. Our Gold Coin Merchant Association team will be responsible for the construction. You only need to pay 400,000 Sacrificial Power for your hard work."
Hearing the quotation of the Gold Coin Merchant Association, Wei Shan felt heartbroken.
He worked hard for more than half a year to save 1.39 million Sacrificial Power, and the hard work cost him nearly one-third of his assets.
It is said that knowledge is wealth, and this moment is undoubtedly the best proof.
But I don't have the ability, and I don't like studying yet. If I want to pursue my dream, I must spend this Sacrificial Power.
"Okay, let's follow your plan. Send me the list and I'll go purchase it."
"Wait a minute, I have to calculate the materials required according to the plan you gave me."
Emperor's Tomb Village A corner of the square.
Wei Shan, who was waiting for the purchase list, closed the private chat dialog box and called up the Astral Veins interface.
Now inlay Monster Soul, which are Inkflame, Stone Gargoyle and Extreme Speed.
He doesn't intend to keep these three Monster Soul.
In the future, in the summoning system, the two Monster Souls, Terror and Nightmare, will be the mainstream. The Monster Soul that will be subsequently embedded will also be mainly auxiliary and amplifying. Terror is the sixth generation Monster Soul, and the purchase price has reached 100,000 points for Sacrificial Power.
Nightmare Monster Soul is the fourth generation, priced at 12,000 Sacrificial Power.
For the third Monster Soul, he chose Light Shield Monster Soul, which focuses on self-protection assistance, and for the fourth Monster Soul, he chose Eat Qi Monster Soul, which increases mental endurance.
After completing the decomposition and inlaying.
Regarding the distribution of inventory Evolution Points, he directly upgraded the nightmare Monster Soul to level 75, which is the core Monster Soul of the next plan.
For the remaining Evolution Points, he raised Terror to level 59, Light Shield to level 38, and Eat Qi to level 50.
Among them, the fear Monster Soul has two growth modes.
They consume Evolution Points to increase the level of Monster Soul, which can significantly increase the combat power of the terrifying evil spirits that can be summoned at each stage.
The second growth system is to advance through the fright value. At each stage, a stronger system of frightening evil spirits can be summoned.
Summoning Stream, built with the fearful Monster Soul as its core, mainly revolves around the second growth model.
A-Le Training Camp Evolution Points, which I had accumulated after working as a nail shop for more than half a year, consumed a large amount in a short period of time.
Re-matched with Astral Veins, the improvement in strength brings a significant increase in mental strength.
Just this is not enough.
He immediately went to the functional building of Emperor's Tomb Village: the Rule God Pillar.
Use the "Divine Shift" function to adjust the increase ratio of Monster Soul attributes to mental power (90%) and Qi and Blood strength (10%). This allocation plan can significantly improve the intensity and recovery efficiency of mental power.
As for the issue of being fragile, who is still fighting in close combat when they are already summoning?
The task of fighting the bayonet head-on must naturally be left to the summoned beast.
Next is the performance upgrade of the armed vehicle... After updating himself from beginning to end, Wei Shan received the materials list from the Gold Coin Merchant Association.
After closing the chat box, he called up the Trading House interface and started searching according to the materials on the list.
The spiritual materials recorded above are basically Trading House's popular products, and the prices are transparent, so the transaction mode on the shelves is basically a fixed price. The auction mode, on the other hand, is difficult to sell due to the time limit.
Only those unpopular spiritual materials or new spiritual materials will adopt the bidding mode with an additional 1% handling fee.
Space-based materials are also one of the most expensive basic commodities of Trading House.
After purchasing according to the list, the Sacrificial Power number in the balance column dropped rapidly, and 400,000 Sacrificial Power was spent in a short time.
In order not to lose money on transactions, he used the plug-in provided by the Gold Coin Merchant Association to compare prices throughout the process.
There is a transaction fluctuation curve chart of popular products on it, and you can know the specific price of the product at a glance.
He is not in a hurry to sell some commodities whose prices have risen in the short term.
Keep refreshing the Trading House interface, and players will put it on the shelves at a reasonable price, and then just lock in and buy it.
This is also the habit of many old players.
This is also the reason why many products can be sold instantly after being put on the shelves.
As long as the price is reasonable, spiritual goods are easy to sell, and many experienced players in need will stop by to purchase them.
After purchasing all the materials on the list, most of the day passed.
The total cost was 627,600 Sacrificial Power.
He transferred these materials directly to the professional team of the Gold Coin Merchant Association through cross-space transactions.
As for the other party possibly running away after receiving the materials, there is no need to worry at all.
Gold Coin Merchant Association is a golden brand, and the reputation accumulated over the years has become as stable as Immovable Rock.
The other party quickly sent a reply and said that he would be in touch after the construction was completed.
After ending the conversation, Wei Shan called up the forum and began to search for information.
All other issues have been resolved.
Now all that remains is to enter the detailed layout plan after Small World.
There are three plans under consideration.
The first plan is simple and crude.
After entering Small World, find the most prosperous and densely populated area in the world and build a nightmare experience scene.
Then look for the creatures on the world's wealth list to directly rob them, and use their funds as experience bonuses.
For example, challengers who come to experience the game can get how much bonus they get after completing how many levels of courage challenge in Nightmare Mirage.
Use cash rewards to drive more challengers to enter.
In this way, the challenger can make money, and he can also earn fright points from it, thus forming a revenue cycle model.
If you don't have enough money, you will continue to rob. If you don't give money, you will be beaten severely.
As a player, you don't have to hide your identity and lurk behind the scenes. You can solve all problems through violence.
As for the potential risk of confronting the world.
No matter how noisy Small World's creatures are, they are still vulnerable to absolute power.
It's just that the processing process will be a little cumbersome.
The second option is to take the latent infiltration route.
The core is to use fear as bait and borrow the hands of others to weave a web.
The horror experience venue built will not let the outside world know that it is related to extraordinary powers, or to powerful creatures in other worlds. The advantage of this is that it is in line with the cognitive level of Small World and avoids turmoil in reality.
Continuously harvest shock value through voluntary means.
The advantage is that it reduces the tediousness of operations and uses local creatures as a guise. After opening, you basically don't need to pay attention to it anymore.
It can even bring some benefits to the native creatures responsible for the operation.
Let it serve as its agent in Small World.
The premise of this mode is that the creatures of Small World like to seek excitement and are willing to experience the horror and horror atmosphere through horror scenes.
If Small World creatures do not have any demand for "horror-oriented" content.
It is not as simple and crude as the first plan, which directly attracts challengers through benefits.
The third plan is more straightforward, which is to come to the world as the Demon King of Destruction.
Bring destruction and death to Small World.
The advantages and disadvantages of this solution are extreme.
The advantage is that it can obtain huge fright value benefits in a short period of time.
But it cannot operate for a long time.
The plan to destroy the world must involve a large number of elements of death and destruction.
If it is just a "threat of world destruction", there will still be fright value gains in the early stage. When the Small World creatures find out that it is just a big thunder and a small rain, they will not be able to continue to harvest the fright value.
If the world is really destroyed, giving Small World an absolute sense of oppression in the form of a demon king is still a short-term gain.
The fear of Small World creatures struggling to survive will gradually lead to despair, numbness, and even self-destruction.
I made a lot of money in the early stage, but Small World was basically useless in the later stage.
Retraining Small World to restore normal order is too cumbersome and will take a lot of time and effort.
Therefore, "The World-Destroying Demon King" belongs to Draining the Pond to Catch All the Fish's plan.
The advantages and disadvantages of the three options are obvious. The specific choice of Wei Shan has not been finalized yet.
But he prefers the first two options.
Monster World is a game he plans to play for the rest of his life, and sustainable development is his priority.
If one Small World is used up within half a year, it is not known when the next Small World will appear, and no replacement can be found for the time being. Therefore, this Small World should be played leisurely.
Secondly, the impact of the act of destroying the world on the heart is also taken into consideration.
Although this is just a game, the realism of Monster World has already blurred the boundaries between virtuality and reality.
The fear and desire to live in the eyes of a creature before death cannot be seen as false at all.
Many times, he almost forgets that this is a game.
As a player, he can indeed be unscrupulous, but he also has a deep sense of morality.
Let the city melt in the magma, let the river turn blood red, let the parents hold their children and cry in despair in the ruins... Just thinking about those scenes, he felt it was too cruel.
He can accept using Nightmare Mirage to harvest the fright value. After all, this is a spiritual experience and will not really take away life.
You can also use violent means to rob wealth. After all, the gain or loss of wealth is far less than the weight of life.
But annihilation will completely crush the hope of the entire world and cause countless innocent creatures to lose the foundation of their existence.
This behavior doesn't matter to many players.
But in his eyes, this is pure venting of malice, and he will definitely feel guilty afterwards.
The most important thing is that he wants the kind of shock value that can be harvested repeatedly and has rich levels of shock value.
Therefore, he decided to use the first two solutions for preliminary testing.
If it doesn't work... think of another way.
I have no choice but to become the World-Destroying Demon King for a time.
Time can wash away guilt.
After clarifying the idea, Wei Shan began to conceive of a specific implementation plan and refined the plan from a framework into executable steps.
Many ideas are perfected in thinking.
What follows is the weaving of horror scenes.
He needs reference materials for this.
Wei Shan chose to come to the Emperor's Tomb Village library to read horror stories, and wanted to weave a nightmare based on the horror stories Mirage.
As soon as he found a relevant book and sat down, a message popped up in his live broadcast room:
No. 1 Tourist: There is no need to look up information. You have to ask Guidance first to learn more about Small World's cultural customs and other content.
When they saw that the person who sent the barrage was the famous No. 1 Tourist, Wei Shan was in awe.
I didn't expect that in my unpopular live broadcast room, there would be a forum master visiting.
But it was he who was confused, and he couldn't help but ask:
"Boss, I don't understand what you want to express?"
As soon as I raised my doubts, No. 1 visitor sent me a reply.
No. 1 Tourist: The essence of fear is cognitive impact. If you directly apply the template of the earth's terror system, it is likely that Small World will not adapt to the local environment. You have to dismantle and reorganize the inherent cultural symbols of Small World into familiar yet unfamiliar sharp blades... For example, using their awe-inspiring customs to weave fear, allowing them to watch everything they firmly believe in turn into an abyss that swallows them in the most familiar environment. This kind of fear based on cultural roots can touch the soul far more than the horror scenes fabricated out of thin air, and it can also increase the harvesting efficiency of fright value exponentially...
After reading No. 1 Tourist's analysis, Wei Shan suddenly understood.
I realized how short-sighted my thinking just now was.
The culture, history, belief system in Small World... these are the best materials to build the nightmare Mirage.
The horror weaved out of self-perception is just self-conceited horror.
It's like using the scene of turning into zombies after death to frighten a group of people who believe that "death is rebirth". They may even regard zombies and zombies as the precursors of reincarnation, and instead feel awe in them.
Fear that is separated from the cultural soil is like duckweed without roots, unable to truly sink into the depths of the other person's soul.
What he thought was ferocious and terrifying may be just a funny expression in the eyes of Small World creatures.
Even a thrilling scene carefully designed using the earth's culture may happen to coincide with some kind of celebration ceremony of Small World creatures, making the other party stand in awe. Not only do they not feel scared, but they also feel that this scene is very sincere.
Therefore, he had to first understand the culture of Small World, and then he could weave the deep fear that would make the challenger's pupils shrink suddenly and his heart stop. As No. 1 Tourist said, only by taking root in their taboos passed down from generation to generation, the awe engraved in their blood, and integrating into their daily customs can fear truly take root.
For example, the gods they worship are used to judge them in turn, and the codes they follow are twisted into shackles that bind them. The impact of this "alienation of familiar things" can make the shock value erupt like a volcano.
At this point in the conversation, No. 1 Tourist also gave a few examples that he could understand.
In the ancient earth era, an element that often appeared in Chinese horror: paper figures.
This is a common object in traditional funeral and sacrificial ceremonies. In the eyes of people at that time, it carried the function of communicating yin and yang, and was a carrier for the living to express respect for the deceased.
When the paper man changes from a stiff sacrifice to a living creature with moving eyes and twisted joints.
The terror it brings is not as simple as paper figures moving.
It is the deep uneasiness caused by the disruption of the yin and yang order.
In ancient Chinese traditional culture, once the performance of sacrificial items crosses the line, it means a violation of the rules of life and death. This fear is far more creepy than the image of "ghost".
However, this kind of terror bred from traditional customs will become ineffective in areas without the same cultural concepts.
For example, place this kind of horror among primitive African tribes who do not have the same cultural foundation.
The concept of a paper man becoming a spirit is far less ferocious and terrifying than the real beasts around them.
There are also other horrific manifestations caused by "reversal of joy and sorrow".
Chinese weddings and funerals have strict etiquette rules. Red, happy, white, and mourning are clearly defined. Once reversed, it becomes the most terrifying taboo.
In the ancient times of the earth, there were many traditions of using concepts such as "ghost marriage" to shoot horror-themed movies.
In the movie scene, the wedding hall that should have been decorated with lights and festoons has red candles burning with green flames, the bride's phoenix crown is covered with bruises on her body, and the guests during the worship hall are all paper figures, but the emcee who is supposed to say "give birth to a son soon" instead says, "I will be buried in peace."
This fear of alienation is the most deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Similar cases include: the legend of the Rift Girl, Lala Quina, Revenge of the Nagas, and other content derived from culture, which brings extreme fear. What these examples have in common is that they all alienate the beliefs, customs, emotional symbols, and other content that a group is accustomed to. Turn the sacred into evil, turn the everyday into weird, turn awe into fear... Only by using the culture of Small World creatures as raw materials can the most mellow fear be brewed.
This "abnormalization of familiar things" is the sharpest blade of fear that pierces the spiritual defense line.
No. 1 Tourist's in-depth explanation made Wei Shan's eyes light up.
It feels like a new door has been opened.
The analysis of the cultural foundation and the logic of fear was like a precise scalpel, cutting through his previously vague idea of a nightmare scenario, making the idea of how to efficiently harvest the shock value very clear.
After finishing the exchange, Wei Shan sincerely thanked No. 1 Tourist, then turned to look at Guiding Water Orb floating beside him:
"Brother Guidance, I have a question to ask."
[Put it on!]
"I want to know about Small World, the birth of the Virtual Rune Legion, and relevant information..."
Three days later.
Wei Shan, who was checking the latest updated information in the library, received a private message from the person in charge of the Gold Coin Merchant Association's "space research and development team". It said that Space Teleportation Array has been built and can be started at any time to go to: Meteor World.
But this is a one-way ticket. The torn channel will be closed after the transmission is completed, but the "formation base" can be retained and used next time. Wei Shan can completely understand this.
When Teleportation Array is continuously turned on, it needs to continuously consume energy, and the void will also cause continuous wear and tear on the base.
The stable opening state is equivalent to the point card mode in the game, with continuous deductions.
The most economical solution is one-way transmission, and then close after transmission.
As for return tickets.
As a player, this problem does not exist.
They have a little trick that is more convenient and saves money: Soul Return Di Zhao.
Travelers who are away from home, no matter how far away from their hometown, can go home and see the land of their hometown in just one hour, and be reborn under the brilliance (white light) of Brother Di Zhao.
Wei Shan who received the notice did not stay, and came to Colorful Mist Coast area through Teleportation Array of Emperor's Tomb Village.
Teleportation Array is built in an open space to the west of the Colorful Mist Coast node, and is not built on Dream Island.
After all, Dream Island is the territory of the Gold Coin Merchant Association, and all the land will be developed and used in the future, so it is impossible to reserve the formation base for him for a long time. Half an hour later, the members of Wei Shan and Gold Coin Merchant Association docked at the agreed location.
At first glance, the other party is the player Moon Eclipse Clan. He is in his 20s and extremely handsome.
At his feet is the miniature Teleportation Array specially built for him, which only covers an area of about five square meters.
The formation base spirit pattern looks very complicated, and each node is also inlaid with a piece of Energy Crystal.
Wei Shan No nonsense, just start the transaction and pay the balance:
"Teleportation Array I don't know how to use it, I'll leave it to you how to turn it on."
"Don't worry, let me tell you about the teleportation matter again. There is a 30% chance that this teleportation will be swallowed by the countercurrent of space, but I can wait for you here. You can teleport multiple times after death and resurrection, but you have to pay the cost of each teleportation."
"Understood." Wei Shan, who had learned about the relevant content in advance, nodded to express his understanding.
Then, under the guidance of the Gold Coin Merchant Association members, he came to stand at the center of the formation.
Not long after, the formation was activated.
In an instant, a faint blue halo erupted from the ground, wrapping around his body like a living creature.
The scene in front of me began to distort violently.
What followed was a strong sense of weightlessness, as if the ground beneath his feet was turning into a black hole whirlpool, dragging his body downwards. The space in front of him was collapsing, forming a passage that continued to spread toward the unknown front.
His body was sucked into it and continued to fly forward following the extension of the passage.
There is no concept of "up, down, left, and right" in the space tunnel, and space countercurrent vortices can be seen emerging from time to time in the colored passages.
As long as you touch it, you will be pulled into the void, Soul Return Di Zhao.
The concept of time becomes blurred during transmission.
I don't know how long it took, but Wei Shan's vision suddenly widened.
After flying out of the space tunnel, he found that he was at high altitude, falling rapidly, with the endless sea below him.
Call up the map function.
The four characters "Meteor World" appeared on the map. Except for his location, other areas were still unexplored and shrouded in fog. In a flash of thought, the coat on Wei Shan turned into pixel particles that gathered under his feet to form a floating skateboard.
Next, he decided to explore Small World first to dispel the map fog.
