From Dungeon to Gaming Empire

This facility is a second-level building as soon as it is built, but the construction cost is not cheap. It not only consumes a lot of soul crystals and mental power, but also requires 500 pieces of second-level material essence.

This is the essence that can only be transformed from second-level quality materials.

Of course, it can also be synthesized using first-order materials through special facilities.

The value of 500 second-level material essences is approximately equivalent to 5000 first-level material essences.

This figure is truly exaggerated, and it is almost impossible for a new territory to afford it. But is it worth paying such a high price? This depends on the needs of the territory.

For most ordinary territories.

The function of the energy absorption tower is optional and not essential.

Its function is very simple: it actively absorbs and transforms the adventurer's energy, which not only allows the adventurer to consume more energy in the secret realm, but also transforms all consumed energy into soul crystals.

Generally, adventurers can only condense soul crystals when they die in a secret realm.

If you pass the level directly, exit safely.

This process will not produce soul crystals.

With the energy absorption tower, as long as you consume energy in the secret realm, no matter how it is consumed, it can be absorbed and condensed into soul crystals, which is equivalent to having a guaranteed income.

of course.

It can also actively absorb energy.

This will cause adventurers to incur additional consumption when adventuring.

This function is useless most of the time. After all, adventurers are not fools and are unlikely to be willing to pay the extra energy cost. Energy absorption cannot be completed under resistance.

For Miracle City.

This is a practical function.

Miracle City isn't entirely focused on murdering adventurers.

Let’s take an example.

In the future, Miracle City will most likely launch long-story, leisure, life-related secret realms, and even large-scale online game-type secret realms.

How to collect fees from adventurers?

Various open world games such as GTA, Zelda, and casual or business-oriented games such as Minecraft, The Sims, and Clash of Clans do not have the fast pace of linear plots and action games.

Theoretically speaking.

1 point of energy can play from morning to night.

Not only will it lead to insufficient harvesting of leeks.

In fact, it will also affect the growth rate of the adventurer himself.

If Miracle City builds enough energy absorption towers, this problem can be easily solved by making some changes in the mechanism and making it a time-based charging model similar to the point card system.

For example.

Every two hours, 1 point of energy will be deducted.

Qi Ji believes that as long as the secret realm is well done and the game stickiness is high enough.

This is completely acceptable to adventurers, and it is enough to greatly expand the diversity of Miracle City's future secret realms.

even.

This is also one of the necessary infrastructures for building large-scale online games in the future.

Of course, the function of the Energy Absorption Tower is limited, and there is an upper limit to the amount of energy that can be absorbed and converted every day.

If Qi Ji really wanted to create a secret realm similar to MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) such as Legend, Dungeon & Fighter, and World of Warcraft, he would need to build a considerable number of energy towers.

Also.

Several types of facilities are also needed to assist.

Only in this way can it accommodate tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of millions of people exploring a secret realm at the same time.

Miracle City's current size, population, and infrastructure do not meet the conditions for creating such a secret realm... However, although it cannot create large-scale role-playing online games, some small-scale multiplayer online games are not a problem.

Qi Ji is already planning a PVP-focused secret realm competitive gameplay.

CS and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds require such infrastructure.

In the future, if there are non-multiplayer RPG games like Diablo that can also form online teams, we can also consider using "time point card charges" to promote the operation of secret realms.

of course.

There is no related material.

We'll talk about this later.

Now we can only add competitive gameplay according to the original plan.

"I was just wondering how I was going to get this blueprint."

"I didn't expect that I would reveal a copy myself. It's like someone gave me a pillow when I was sleepy!"

He originally planned to collect a blueprint for an "Energy Absorption Tower" and a "Secret Realm Control Tower", which are the two major infrastructures that must be built to create a competitive mode.

The latter is also a second-order facility.

But it is relatively common and easier to buy.

Each secret realm control tower can be bound to a secret realm, which allows real-time control during the operation of the secret realm, such as temporary changes to settings, manual addition of monsters, etc. It is a must-have happy tower for the sixth lord.

of course.

Qi Ji is not that kind of old man...

Well, although he did want to have some fun occasionally, his fundamental reason for wanting this tower was that the secret realm control tower could give the territory real-time control over the secret realm.

simply speaking.

Use the "Secret Realm Control Tower" to quickly reset characters and help adventurers escape death.

Use the "Energy Absorption Tower" to collect fees from adventurers to ensure income from secret realms.

For example, an adventurer can consume 1 point of energy to get 30 minutes of free play in CS mode. No matter how many games are played within these 30 minutes, it will not cause further consumption.

It doesn't take much resources to develop a CS or PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game.

This type of competitive gameplay often has a longer operational lifespan than the level mode.

Qi Ji can even write some articles.

He can use the Mercenary Guild to create a server and save adventurers' personal game information.

In this way, every adventurer can create his own account in the "competitive mode" of the Frenzy Secret Realm, thereby building his own character library, weapon library, and various skins.

Adventurers can spend territory contribution points to purchase game characters and weapons...

Only 888!

Do you know about Fire Kylin?

Operate with the same idea as operating online games of the same type. Once this model is successfully implemented, it will create a contribution recovery method that is cost-effective and highly profitable.

After all, for a territory, deploying some ordinary people and equipment has no cost at all.

But it can cut leeks on a large scale.

Recover a lot of contribution points.

This will reduce the liquidity of contribution points, making them more valuable, and reap the fruits of adventurers' labor, allowing them to work harder to clear secret realms and more actively hand in various resources.

When these adventurers worked hard to collect souls and earn contribution points.

In the end, all of them become virtual assets within the secret realm.

This will not only make the contribution points of Miracle City more valuable, but also allow adventurers to invest sunk costs and become more addicted, which is not necessarily a bad thing for adventurers.

Just grasp the scale.

They will just enjoy it.

Even for the sake of comparison.

Even more intense!

This is definitely a business model worth trying. In the long run, not only will the territory economy be healthier, but adventurers will also become more and more loyal to Miracle City and more and more dependent on it!

"I must intensify my efforts to collect the 'Control Tower' blueprints as soon as possible!"

Although Qi Ji is very much looking forward to the launch of the Frenzy Secret Realm competitive mode, there is no need to rush about it. On the contrary, there is no point in rushing, because whether or not one can buy the blueprint depends on fate.

Before receiving the drawings.

Qi Ji will definitely not be distracted.

After all, the second core is already in hand.

For him, the most urgent task at the moment is to develop the "Ten Foreign Countries"!

Although the first secret realm has great potential and prospects, the second secret realm is equally impressive. Qi Ji currently only wants to release the story of Ashina Country as soon as possible.

Chapter 75 Incorporation

Qi Ji looked at the core of the Undercity in front of him. All the cores of the dungeons looked similar. From the outside, it was a colorful divine stone that floated without gravity.

The core of the territory is non-physical.

Only the lord can touch and operate it.

Activate the Undercity Core.

Make the final finishing touches.

[You are recovering the alien facilities in Undercity. Do you want to continue? Yes/No.]

There are still a large number of buildings, formations, traps, and various extraordinary facilities left by the dark species inside and outside the city.

Qi Jiling cannot use these things, and they may even pose a safety hazard, so they must be dealt with immediately. A large amount of materials can be decomposed through recycling.

【Recycling successful! 】

[First-level material essence +8000! ]

The whole city became empty and open.

A large amount of material essence is enough to provide support for the future development of the territory.

"Lord!" Feng Zhongmian ran over and reported, "According to your request, all the alien captives have been rescued and gathered together."

Qi Ji arrived at the scene.

Thousands of densely packed natives of the Chaos Continent gathered together.

Even without the lord's orders.

The adventurers also knew the importance of these captives.

Miracle City is developing too fast. Not only is its territory expanding, but the number of adventurers is also surging. A large population is needed in various job areas and production areas.

however.

Currently, there are only a few dozen people in the territory.

How could such a small number of people possibly serve nearly a thousand adventurers?

The adventurers knew this very well, so they rescued the people enslaved by the dark species as soon as possible, transferred them to a safe area and kept them under strict control.

If the territory can absorb these population resources, Miracle City will become more lively and adventurers will be able to enjoy better and more comprehensive services!

Qi Ji asked: "What is the total number?"

Baihe Jushi: "There are a total of 3023 people, and over % of them are dwarfs."

Dwarfs are gentle and very common.

This is one of the most suitable races to be trained as servant slaves.

Goblins are originally the lowest of the myriad races in the Chaos Continent, and there are indeed only a few lower races that can be enslaved on a large scale.

of course.

Although dwarfs make up the vast majority.
