From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

This is a double-edged sword. Outsiders can bring more wealth and more secret realm traffic to Miracle Territory, but they may also pose a security risk, so more people need to be recruited in terms of public security.

Qi Ji has selected a thousand loyal young and strong dog-headed men, and paired them with nearly a thousand humanoid monster soldiers in the territory to be responsible for the daily defense and public security of the city to ensure the safety and order of the territory.

This number of people.

It is definitely not enough.

Miracle Territory is not the only Miracle City.

In addition, as the population of Miracle City increases rapidly in the future, the construction speed of the main city and the population expansion speed will become faster and faster, so more guards, patrols, and security personnel will be needed.

In addition to the basic needs of maintaining law and order.

Various underground city facilities also require personnel maintenance.

For example.

Adventurer's Guild.

This facility is equivalent to a server for territory information storage and interaction.

This place not only records the operation of the territory and detailed data of every secret adventure, but also serves as a folk task platform, a customer service center for adventurers, and a management agency for adventure groups.

Qi Ji's desire to develop the Internet and add more services on the existing basis is also inseparable from the formation of the Adventurer's Guild.

Because this facility is so important, the number has been gradually increased to twelve. However, although the number has increased, there is an extreme shortage of well-trained staff.

It is estimated that each third-level adventurer's guild will have at least one hundred staff members.

Only in this way can its functions be fully operational to meet the networking and information services of the current scale of the territory.

In other words, if all the existing adventurer guilds in Miracle Territory were upgraded to level three, the labor shortage created by this type of territory facility would be as high as at least more than a thousand people.

Hotels need waiters, bars need winemakers, refining workshops need refiners, and various altars also need maintenance personnel. In addition, as the territory expands, various spiritual fields, farms, and mines are even more labor-intensive production places.

And what is the total population of Miracle Territory?

If adventurers are not counted, there are only 23,000 people.

The scarcity of talent and labor has become a major factor restricting the rapid development of the territory.

It is for this reason that Qi Ji wants to open up the drainage, absorb more people from Qianhu City and nearby tribes and transform them into his subjects. At the same time, he must speed up the pace of territory development, seize the dark territory and liberate the local population.

You can't become a fat man with just one bite.

The development of any territory is a gradual process.

Qi Jiling's current development speed is already very fast. The job shortage caused by population and labor issues will gradually ease over time. After all, Miracle City's treatment and value are so high that there is no doubt that it will not be able to recruit 996 workers.

Compared to the grassroots staff in the territory...

The Lord's Mansion Affairs Officer may be even rarer and harder to find!

Because grassroots staff usually only need a little training before they can take up their posts, some positions require certain skills and can also be recruited specifically, while management personnel are more difficult to find in comparison.

Ability is only one aspect.

More importantly, be loyal and reliable.

And they will not form cliques for personal gain or engage in corruption.

This is a very difficult thing to do, because everyone is selfish.

The solution Qi Ji thought of was to use a named person, because using a named person has at least three advantages.

First, as a type of summoned unit, the named ones are absolutely loyal to their lord, and therefore will always put the interests of the territory first.

Secondly, the named person does not belong to this world but only to the lord himself, so there is naturally no need to take care of the tribe, clan or group, and he is naturally in a fair and neutral position.

Thirdly, the named ones are all characters in the secret realm. Adventurers will feel more familiar with them, and they can better represent the cultural image of Miracle City. In addition, generally speaking, the personal abilities of those who can become named ones are not too bad.

During these ten days.

A total of eleven named spirits have been received.

To be honest, this number is a bit beyond my expectations.

After all, the contracted named spirit as the life soul can enhance mental strength and has various benefits.

Each named spirit is a unique and extremely rare treasure, so why would any adventurer be willing to hand it over? Qi Ji has never actively asked adventurers to do so. These spirits were all handed over voluntarily by adventurers!

The reason is actually not complicated.

First of all, it can be exchanged for very considerable contribution points.

The contribution points that a named soul can exchange for are at least 10 times and at most 100 times that of a spirit of the same level and grade. As for the specific number of contribution points that can be exchanged, it depends on the quality of the spirit itself.

There is no need to say much about the value of Miracle City's contribution points.

This alone is enough motivation for adventurers to exchange souls!

Secondly, not every named soul is a powerful soul or a soul suitable for oneself.

If adventurers obtain named spirits that are not suitable for them, or have greater ambitions to pursue better souls, they will sacrifice the named souls they have obtained to form the Mark of Plenty.

This is how the Eternal True Spirit was obtained.

Qi Ji glanced at the named souls stored in his hand.

The weakest level.

The strongest level three.

There are five with higher values.

The others are all unknown.

Qi Ji plans to summon these five named persons first, and they are: Han Teng, Ashina Genichirō, Jill Valentine, Charles Perry, and Mai Shiranui.

Han Teng is one of the four tiger generals of Emperor Yuwen Tuo of the Sui Dynasty in China.

It is the most powerful among the named souls that Qi Ji possesses.

The contributor of this soul was Higanbana. Mainly because she already had enough named souls. In order to obtain more contribution points to buy a house and a shop as an investment, she decisively handed over this high-quality named soul to Boss Qi.

Ashina Genichirō is from Ashina.

It originally belonged to Baihe Jushi, but since Baihe Jushi later obtained the swordsman Ashina Isshin, this alternative spirit was useless and not suitable for his granddaughter Mingyue Zhaoxue, so he handed it over to the territory.

Jill Valentine is a very popular female protagonist in the Resident Evil series.

The reason this spirit was handed over was simply because it was too weak.

Jill herself is just an ordinary person, and her personal strength is not much stronger than that of a zombie. Although her soul is bound to a firearm, allowing her strength to reach the first-level three-star strength, she does not have any powerful characteristics or skills. Naturally, she will not be used as a life soul by adventurers. It would be better to exchange her for a large amount of contribution points.

Although Jill is weak.

But their image and popularity are good.

Suitable for communicating with adventurers on behalf of the territory.

Charles Perry is a character in the Dark Light arc, also known as Captain Perry of the Prototype, who once made Alex lose face. In the plot, he cooperates with Brother A to prevent Manhattan from being razed by nuclear weapons.

Captain Perry was supposedly enhanced with super soldier serum.

So it is at the level of second order and one star.

Just not good enough.

This person is a modern soldier with a steady personality, capable actions and extremely high quality. He is suitable to be summoned to serve Qi Ji and can be trained as a military and intelligence manager.

Finally, it’s Mai Shiranui.

This is a super popular female character from King of Fighters.

She has become almost a household name because of her sexy and bold style.

However, since the adventurer who obtained Mai Shiranui's spirit was a burly, tough guy, he definitely would not use this kind of spirit, so he chose to exchange it for the Mark of Abundance, and later the cooler and more popular Iori Yagami spirit was revealed.

Similar to Yongzhen and Jill.

Mai Shiranui herself is not very strong.

However, he is very popular because of his image and temperament.

Therefore, he is suitable to be the lord's assistant or the spokesperson of the lord's mansion.

The five characters selected by Qi Ji each have their own characteristics and their strengths vary, but the reason why Qi Ji plans to use them is not because of their strength.

The Miracle Territory has no shortage of combat power.

There is no need for the named person to fight.

All he values ​​is absolute loyalty and obedience.

Qi Ji believed that by using the named persons as officials in the lord's mansion or managers of various areas of the territory, the territory would be able to maintain absolute efficiency, and every order and will would be absolutely implemented and executed!

Summoning the named ones is a bit troublesome. Although there is already a named hall in the Miracle Territory, it is still necessary to collect the corresponding grade of Heroic Soul Stones. Fortunately, most of these five named ones are of the first or second grade.

With Qi Ji's current financial resources and connections.

It's just a matter of time.

After reviewing the various reserves in the territory and sorting out the recent plans, Qi Ji believed that the Miracle Territory was now strong in soldiers and horses and had sufficient food and grass, and it was time to start expansion.

then.

Without any hesitation.

Following the announcement of the territory secret realm update.

Qi Ji issued another large-scale mission to the territory.

This is a true territorial war following the capture of Thunder City.

At this moment, Nancy Liya ran up and said, "My Lord, I have something to report... Vesaros of the Thousand Lakes City Guardian Elders Council has entrusted me to request a meeting with you, my Lord."

"Vesaros?"

Qi Ji didn't find this strange.

Vesaros began to come into contact with the secrets of the territory ten days ago.

Today, I even came to Miracle City to witness the potential of the territory with my own eyes.

However, it is not so easy to completely conquer him... After all, Vesaros is a very ambitious person.

Miracle City has great potential and prospects.

But the current scale is still too small after all.

However, even if there would be some trouble in the process of subduing this lich, Qi Ji didn't mind. After all, obtaining Vesaros would bring considerable benefits to the territory.

Vesaros has very good luck.

It has the effect of increasing the number of inspiration crystal activations.

One of Qi Ji's biggest worries now is that he has a lot of top-notch inspiration crystals in his hands, but he does not have enough ability to activate them one by one. Naturally, he must seize such an opportunity!

of course.

Even if we put aside the value of the lich itself.

Vesaros's identity as the guardian of Thousand Lakes City is also worthy of attention.

What is the Guardian of Thousand Lakes City? It sounds like a title, but it is actually an identity or position.

It is well known that Qianhu City is a large forest city where multiple ethnic groups live together. It is not easy to manage such a city well. There must be a matching administrative and management system. The power structure of Qianhu City is similar to the parliamentary republic in the previous life.

The biggest feature of a parliamentary republic is that each group elects members to represent their own interests, and each member forms a parliamentary organization, thus becoming the largest center of power.

The Guardian Elders Council of Qianhu City is an organization similar to a parliament.

This council of elders consists of eighteen guardians and one grand guardian. The former is similar to a member of parliament, while the latter is similar to a king or head of state.

Every guardian has great power in Qianhu City.

At the same time, he is also the representative of the Qianhu City forces.

As the former great elder of the elves, Artus naturally obtained a seat as a guardian after he led some elves to join Thousand Lakes City.

As the spokesperson for the Pale Truth Society in the Eternal Night Forest, Visaros had made great contributions in defending the Thousand Lakes City. In addition, he had a strong group of undead under his command, so he was naturally qualified for a guardian seat.

In terms of guardian rankings.

Vesalus is even higher than Artus.

Suppose Vesaros requested a meeting as the guardian of Thousand Lakes City.
