From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

Generally speaking, the larger the scale and the more populous the stronghold, the more frequent the sacrifices to the shelter stone, the larger the shelter radius generated, and the greater the rewards the lord will receive when occupying it.

Qi Ji can transform the Protection Stone into Territory Stones of different sizes by consuming his mental power, and he can get a corresponding reward for each Protection Stone transformed.

Also.

The territory's sacred stone can be connected to the territory's core.

This will establish a channel for transporting personnel and materials.

[You are activating the "Red Claw Village Sacred Stone". This activation will consume 150 mental energy. Do you want to continue?]

"Yes!"

Refining the divine stone requires a lot of mental energy.

Although it seems like a lot, it is totally worth it!

[The divine stone was activated successfully! ]

You successfully captured Red Claw Village and received 1 Chaos Chest (Gray)!

[You can view the construction details, income, and population information of Red Claw Village through the Lord Panel.]

It worked!

Red Claw Village became the territory of Miracle City.

Qi Ji was well aware of the importance of seizing territory to the territory. Not to mention its significance in the economic and military fields, just being able to establish a teleportation point would bring a lot of convenience to the territory.

If the territory wants to continue exploring in this direction, there is no need to start from Miracle City. By consuming a small amount of soul crystals, it can be directly teleported to Red Claw Village, saving about three hours of travel!

Transform the divine stone.

Also got a God-given treasure chest.

[You opened the "Chaos Chest" (gray), you received "Soul Crystal" +200, "Blueprint: Trading Hall" +1!]

"The blueprints are out!"

Qi Ji was overjoyed again and checked the message immediately.

[Blueprint: Trading Hall], a first-level construction blueprint, requires 100 soul crystals, 50 mental power, and 30 first-level material essences.

Although the "Trading Hall" is a common first-level special building, it is of great value to the development of the territory.

The construction cost of special buildings is relatively high. Not only do they require blueprint soul crystals, but they also consume mental power and material essence.

Before this operation begins.

Qi Ji has 340 mental power and 732 soul crystals remaining.

Because 90 soul crystals and mental power were used to create the mercenary, and 150 mental power was consumed to refine the sacred stone of Red Claw Village, there are 100 mental power and 572 soul crystals left.

In addition, the treasure chest will give you 200 soul crystals.

The current total number of soul crystals is 772.

Other resources are fine.

Now all that’s missing is the essence of the materials.

Qi Ji started the teleportation and came from Miracle City to Red Claw Village.

The adventurers had cleaned up the battlefield, and more than thirty gray goblin corpses were piled together, in addition to fifteen captured dwarfs.

"Lord Qi!"

"How's it going?"

"I didn't disappoint you!"

The adventurers were very proud.

After all, the first reconnaissance operation destroyed a dark race stronghold.

Of course, they didn't know that this seemingly accidental encounter was actually Qi Ji's plan, and everything was within his expectations!

but.

The adventurers performed quite well indeed.

Qi Ji then doubled the contribution points of the surviving adventurers.

The wild fruits, dried meat and other ordinary supplies of no quality found in the goblin camp were of little use to the territory, so only a small portion was kept and the rest were rewarded to the adventurers.

The surface world is short of supplies.

This is a considerable income.

Every adventurer was smiling.

[You have recovered 11 "Zombie Spirits"! ]

After Qi Ji recovered the spirit.

The adventurer has released his mercenary status.

They are temporarily unable to spend the night in the dungeon, so they will be automatically teleported to the surface. They also need to rest and recover their energy as soon as possible so that they can return to Miracle City and challenge the secret realm when the city opens tomorrow.

Fifteen dwarf prisoners were also captured in this battle.

Among them were men and women, who looked pale and thin. They were kneeling in front of him with nervous expressions, mumbling a lot of words.

“#%*……%!”

Language barrier.

do not understand at all.

But it's not a big problem.

[Ding, 15 dwarfs are begging for asylum and pledging allegiance to you. Do you accept? Yes/No!]

The dwarf is a little weaker.

He is kind and gentle by nature.

Miracle City was in need of people to do odd jobs, and Red Claw Village also needed labor, so Qi Ji accepted the loyalty without hesitation.

【Spiritual Power -5!】

The lord will consume some mental energy when converting the people in his territory.

However, because the number is small and they are relatively weak, the loss is not much.

When the transformation was completed, the dwarves showed surprise, and after becoming the people of the dungeon's shelter, they all gained human language skills.

"Thank you, great dungeon master!"

"It was you who saved us from the slavery of the brutal dark race. We are willing to become your most loyal subjects!"

Qi Jiling’s people +15!

There is no upper limit to the number of people in a territory.

As long as you can afford it, you can collect as much as you want.

Humans only exist on the surface and underground.

In the chaotic world, each continent is home to countless strange and bizarre alien races, and as long as they are not dark species, they can be transformed into citizens.

These dungeon dwellers play a very positive role in the development of the territory.

First of all, different races have different abilities and can play different roles.

Aliens can be used to build permanent troops in the territory, and the particularly outstanding ones can be transferred to become adventurers. These alien adventurers are exclusive adventurers who cannot leave the dungeon.

of course.

Alien adventurer.

There is a high threshold.

Only a few alien races can be successfully transformed.

Qi Ji glanced at the fifteen dwarf people in front of him and found a dwarf girl with freckles on her face, an ordinary appearance, and clear and bright eyes.

is her!

Sure enough, he was hiding here!

Qi Ji remained calm on the surface but was actually quite excited in his heart.

The freckled girl is not simple. She is not a dwarf, she is just disguised as a dwarf.

Nancy Liya, the last descendant of the Wood Elf King in this chaotic continent, was originally a resident of the Holy Tree City in the Evernight Forest. Because the Holy Tree City was destroyed in the invasion of the Black Dragon King and the rebellion of the Dark Elf, she was forced to flee and hide.

She will randomly appear in different First Order areas at different times.

At this moment, he transformed himself into a dwarf and blended in with the inconspicuous dwarfs in order to hide his identity.

A big part of the reason why Qi Ji organized mercenaries to launch the development so quickly was because of her. After all, she was the only hidden character with top qualifications in the game that had a chance to be recruited in the early stages!

Chapter 15 A New Round of Construction

An underground city.

The lord is the absolute core.

In addition there are four important components.

They are: citizens, soldiers, heroes, and adventurers.

Some of the four identities may overlap, and some can be further subdivided.

For example, adventurers are divided into contract adventurers, exclusive adventurers, tourist adventurers, etc. according to the degree of their cooperation with the dungeon.

Hero units are the rarest. If the lord is a king or emperor, the territory hero is equivalent to a minister or general. A high-quality hero unit is worth more than thousands of troops!

Different heroes have different qualifications.

The increase brought to the territory is also different.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get thousands of soldiers but difficult to get a good general. Only a very few people with special talents can become heroes. Nancy Liya, whom Qi Ji met at this moment, has this qualification, and it is top-notch qualification.

Conquer her.

It is an important part of short- and medium-term plans.

Nancylia not only has great potential, but her special identity is related to whether she can control the entire Eternal Night Forest and dominate all forces at the lowest cost in the future.

of course.

Miracle City is still too weak.

Currently does not have the ability to train heroes.

And recruiting Nancy Liya is not an easy task.

This girl doesn't trust anyone now. She is not only full of vigilance, but also very timid.

If she fails to gain trust and recognition, or someone rashly discovers her identity and attempts to bind her to a contract, she will run away immediately.

And for various reasons.

Nancy Lia in Darkdale.

The maximum stay will not exceed half a year.

If you cannot capture it within the time limit, it will leave the area.

Although it sounds quite challenging, Qi Ji has confidence in himself and his territory. It's just that the timing is not right yet, so he can't alert the enemy for the time being!

He first gave orders to the dwarfs.

Take off all the goblin's equipment.

【Goblin Dagger】, low-grade grey equipment.

【Goblin Scythe】, low-grade grey equipment.

[Goblin Leather Armor], medium-grade grey equipment.

【Goblin Short Crossbow】, medium-grade grey equipment.

【…】
