At this moment.
Tianyun City.
"Finally got my hands on it."
Ran Tianyun examined a Secret Crystal in his hand.
[Skill Secret Crystal: Adventurer Clone Technique], Fourth-tier Lord Skill - requires 15,000 Mental Power to cultivate!
To obtain this Secret Crystal as quickly as possible.
Mr. Ran paid a premium of fifty to sixty percent above the market value!
As a Fourth-tier Secret Crystal.
Not only was the price very expensive.
The learning cost was also very high.
Even for a Fourth-tier Lord like Ran Tianyun, 15,000 Mental Power was by no means a small number!
After all, Lords like Qi Wu and Underground Cities like Miracle City were incomparable.
Given the same Adventurer traffic, the Mental Power income Miracle City could extract each day was at least ten times that of an ordinary Dungeon, and at times could even reach dozens of times.
And this was why.
Miracle City could still generate a large amount of net income every day despite such a high drop rate.
With Miracle City's Soul Essence and resource production rate, any other Dungeon, let alone having a surplus, would have probably gone bankrupt countless times already.
It was painful.
The price was high.
But it was well worth the cost.
Ran Tianyun didn't hesitate.
He decisively used the Skill Secret Crystal.
After Ran Tianyun mastered this Skill Secret Crystal.
He gained the ability to create an Adventurer Clone!
This clone was equivalent to a special Tianyun City Foreign Race Adventurer.
Its appearance could be changed among several common races, but to avoid unnecessary attention, the clone's appearance was set to the Human Race codename: Tian Yun Ranger!
After Mr. Ran paid a considerable price, he finally had his own Adventurer identity, which meant he could personally experience the Miracle City Secret Realm.
Ignis hurried in to report: "Lord, Lord Fengyun, Lord Huanyue, and Lord Wan Jian are simultaneously visiting our territory."
Ran Tianyun frowned: "This Lord doesn't have the time to receive them now, but it's not a solution for them to keep making noise like this!"
Ignis asked: "Then, Lord, what do you mean?"
Ran Tianyun said: "Miracle City's First-tier Territory Gate allows a maximum of five people to enter each day. You, me, plus the three of them is just right. Let them go to Miracle City and see for themselves!"
Not long after.
Miracle City Territory Gate.
Five figures walked out from it.
Leading the way were naturally Ran Tianyun and his chief hero Ignis. The other three were Lord Ren Wanxiong of Fengyun City, Lord Highmoon of Huanyue City, and Lord Li Jianhan of Wan Jian City.
Ren Wanxiong was nearly fifty, a burly, bearded man with a rugged and straightforward appearance.
Highmoon, on the other hand, looked under thirty, was one meter seventy-five tall, and was a cold, ice-beauty.
Li Jianhan appeared to be in his thirties, wearing silver armor and a white robe, sharp and imposing.
Ren Wanxiong was the most senior.
He was a Fourth-tier Territory Lord even more senior than Ran Tianyun.
As for Highmoon and Li Jianhan, although relatively younger and less senior, they had also broken through their territories to the Fourth-tier several years ago.
This was also why.
The several Lords could establish diplomatic relations.
Because the premise of equal cooperation lay in similar strength; otherwise, with too great a difference in scale, cooperation would be difficult to continue.
Ren Wanxiong: "This is Miracle City? It doesn't feel particularly special!"
Li Jianhan: "Although it has broken through to the Second-tier, the difference in scale compared to our territories is simply too great!"
Lord Highmoon didn't speak, but from her icy expression, it was not difficult to see that she was very dissatisfied with this territory!
Unable to understand.
Mr. Ran abandoned a partner of comparable scale.
And actually chose such a seemingly shabby little territory.
Ignis said: "Several Lords, it's too early for conclusions at this moment. Our Lord naturally has his reasons for doing this."
Ran Tianyun said indifferently: "More talk is useless. The city opened a few minutes ago. Let's go to the Secret Realm Lobby and take a look."
"Speaking of which."
"Why is it that the city has already opened."
"Yet there isn't even a single Adventurer who has come in?"
"Even in a poor Dungeon, as long as it can operate, there will always be some Adventurers coming and going, right!"
..."
The several Lords' gazes swept over the people along the way.
Miracle City wasn't deserted; the population was quite large.
However, they were all just ordinary foreign race citizens like Dwarves, Halflings, and Kobolds.
As for Adventurers?
Not a single one was seen!
Could such a territory really be managed?
Thinking this, the three Lords walked to the Secret Realm Lobby.
The result was seeing a scene that left them dumbfounded.
No wonder there were no Adventurers outside—it turned out everyone was crowded in the hall!
Ren Wanxiong and the others were directly stunned by the lively scene before them. After all, it had been less than five minutes since the Dungeon opened, yet not a single Adventurer was seen outside.
But the entire Secret Realm Lobby was packed with people.
Many Adventurers could only queue and wait.
What did this mean?
This city was already full less than five minutes after opening!
Precisely because Adventurers couldn't get in anymore, no Adventurers were seen inside the city, and other Adventurers preferred to queue and watch others play the Secret Realm rather than wander outside and watch the show.
Having been Lords for so many years!
This scene was the first they had ever seen!
It seems this Secret Realm really has some tricks up its sleeve!
Miracle City's little network administrator Nancilia was already waiting at the entrance.
"Hello, Mr. Ran!"
"Hello, Lords!"
Nancilia stepped forward to greet them.
"Regarding your esteemed visit, the Lord has already notified me in advance and instructed me to receive you well. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Ran Tianyun immediately said: "I would like a Secret Realm Crystal to demonstrate the content of the Miracle City Secret Realm to the three Lords, to facilitate further cooperation between our territories."
Only then did Nancilia realize.
Mr. Ran was using the Adventurer Clone Technique.
Could this guy have specifically cultivated this Lord skill just so he could play the Miracle City Secret Realm?
"All crystals in the Secret Realm Lobby are currently in use. Mr. Ran may need to wait a moment."
"It's fine!"
"Watching first is also acceptable!"
Mr. Ran is an important partner of Miracle City.
The other three Lords were also potential partners, so naturally, relationships needed to be managed well. Wanting a Secret Realm Crystal specifically for experience or demonstration was not a big request.
But the adventures had already begun.
We can't just make the Adventurers interrupt their adventures and come out, can we?
As Miracle City's chief network administrator, Nancilia naturally had to prioritize the experience of the Adventurer customers. It wouldn't be too late to coordinate a crystal for Mr. Ran after this batch of Adventurers came out from the Secret Realm Crystal.
And regarding this.
Ran Tianyun didn't mind.
There were quite a few crystals in the Miracle City Secret Realm Lobby.
Even without a dedicated one, waiting in the normal queue wouldn't take much time.
So Ran Tianyun said to the others: "Since that's the case, let's enter the hall first and watch the adventures of other Adventurers!"
Nancilia immediately said: "Lords, you've come at just the right time, because the territory's third main Secret Realm just officially opened today."
Many Adventurers are challenging the Foreign Lands Chronicle now!"
"What? Lord Qi developed the third main Secret Realm so quickly?!"
Ran Tianyun immediately became strongly interested: "Then we must take a good look!"
The several people officially walked into the hall.
At this time, the Miracle City Secret Realm Lobby was very lively.
The several people walked to a relatively lively Secret Realm Crystal.
This crystal was controlled by the Adventurer Moonlight Shines on Snow. As Miracle City's first contracted Adventurer, she was also a quite popular Adventurer in Miracle City. At this moment, many onlookers were gathered around her.
About five or six minutes ago.
Moonlight Shines on Snow and her little sisters rushed into the Secret Realm and immediately occupied a crystal.
"Hahaha!"
"Today I grabbed a social butterfly spot!"
There were many crystals in the Secret Realm Lobby.
Crystals in different locations.
Also had differences.
Some crystals in corners were generally not easy to gather around, while some crystals near the main road or hall entrance were very easy to be surrounded.
The former were called social anxiety spots.
The latter were called social butterfly spots.
Most Adventurers were social butterflies; not only did they not mind being watched, but they felt that a crowd could provide emotional value and double their happiness.
Therefore, when the city opened and people rushed for crystals.
The social butterfly spots were always the fastest to be snatched up.
"Sister Mingyue!"
"You go first!"
"Then I won't be polite!"
...
After Moonlight Shines on Snow activated the crystal, her eyes immediately widened, her face filled with disbelief.
Inside the Secret Realm Crystal.
There were four Secret Realm options.
They were: Doomsday Frenzy, Foreign Lands Chronicle, Star Sea, and Doomsday Arena.
Doomsday Arena was a secondary Secret Realm; its scale and potential definitely couldn't compare to the main Secret Realms.
"Wow!"
"Everyone, look quickly!"
"The third main city Secret Realm—Star Sea!"
"It's out!"
"It's actually out!"
"This must be the Star Sea Secret Realm that has been rumored for many days. I didn't expect it to be made so quickly!"
"Hahaha!"
"Lord Qi is indeed fast enough!"
For a time.
Not just Moonlight Shines on Snow and others.
The entire hall was filled with joy and ecstasy one after another. Although they didn't know the content of the Secret Realm yet, could the Miracle City Secret Realm be bad?
For a time.
Many Adventurers chose to challenge it!
Moonlight Shines on Snow also suppressed her curiosity and, at the same time, to satisfy the calls of her friends outside, finally chose to enter the third Secret Realm, "Star Sea"!
Upon entering the Secret Realm.
Moonlight Shines on Snow was surprised to find.
She was in an infinitely deep, infinitely vast, boundless, massive void.
This was the vast and boundless universe!
Tens of thousands of galaxies could be seen, scattered like brilliant pearls, finally forming an extremely magnificent and mysterious picture!
Each galaxy was different.
Some were spiral, some elliptical, and some merged together. Their size, color, and shape were also different and full of mystery.
"I received the basic introduction to the Star Sea world—"
Moonlight Shines on Snow's face was full of shock.
She explained to the Adventurers outside:
"These galaxies we see, each one is unbelievably huge. The small ones have a diameter of thousands or tens of thousands of light-years, and the large ones have hundreds of thousands or millions of light-years!"
Mao Mengmeng: "What is a light-year?"
Moonlight Shines on Snow said: "This seems to be a unit of distance in the Star Sea world. A light-year means a distance that even light takes a year to travel."
"What? Really!"
"Light takes a year to travel that distance?"
"Then aren't these galaxies unimaginably large? How big must this void be to hold countless galaxies?"
"This, this, this, this is really beyond my comprehension!"
The Adventurers didn't know how fast the speed of light was, but they could realize how exaggerated a light-year distance would be.
This unit.
This distance.
Is not something mortals can imagine.
Moonlight Shines on Snow continued to introduce:
"Each of these galaxies has tens of billions or hundreds of billions of stars, and each star may have land large enough to accommodate hundreds of millions of people."
"Various extreme environments—"
"Various complex civilizations—"
"Are all constantly being played out in these distant worlds. This is a world view so vast that it exceeds the limits of people's imagination, and so magnificent that it is extreme!"
"..."
Before Moonlight Shines on Snow explained.
Everyone only felt that the colorful galaxies were very beautiful, but after listening to her explanation, everyone felt a shock from the bottom of their hearts.
How distant is this distance?
How exaggeratedly large is this world?
If such a world really exists, how many stories would happen and how grand an epic would be performed?
The world view of the Star Sea Secret Realm is too outrageous, impacting everyone's three views, making people involuntarily feel awe.
At this time, Nancilia came to the crystal with Ran Tianyun and others. When they learned about the world view and settings of the Star Sea, they were all dumbfounded.
Is this a setting that a Secret Realm should have?
Is this Lord's imagination so exaggerated?
Moonlight Shines on Snow quickly adjusted her state. As she withdrew from the shock and impact, a strong sense of anticipation and pleasure surged into her heart.
"Currently, the Star Sea Secret Realm only has an exploration area called the 'titan chapter' open. It should also be a deeply role-playing Secret Realm."
"Let's take a look together."
"What is different about the Star Sea world!"
..."
Choose to enter.
Instantly, everything went black.
Officially logging into the Secret Realm.
Moonlight Shines on Snow entered a cutscene.
A male narration sounded:
[In all the battles I've seen, the Titan Pilot is the most elite Hunter, agile, fast, and elegant, yet incredibly destructive!]
This was an unknown planet. The sky and earth were yellow, and artillery fire filled the air. A nimble warrior shuttled through the rain of bullets and shells.
He launched an attack and slaughter at an almost elegant and efficient speed.
This soldier's reaction was unusually fast, and his marksmanship was incredibly accurate. No matter what kind of obstacle or enemy, they couldn't stop him.
Using a jetpack.
And three-dimensional equipment.
He could shuttle through extremely complex battlefield environments.
He could also run on ninety-degree walls like parkour.
This soldier was undoubtedly a top soldier king forged through countless trials. He could always accurately judge the situation and find a breakthrough in the ever-changing battlefield, and he could always quickly shoot and kill the enemy before they reacted.
According to the narration.
The Adventurers only then knew.
This kind of soldier is called an Titan Pilot!
[The biggest difference between an Titan Pilot and all soldiers and machines on the battlefield is the relationship between them and the titan—]
When the narration reached this point.
In the picture.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking air appeared.
A figure descended from the sky and landed on the battlefield in the rain of bullets and shells. It was a colossal object made of metal, every detail of which exuded the ultimate beauty of industry and technology!
It used its body to block enemy fire, quickly loaded the Titan Pilot into the cockpit, and then used a giant weapon in one hand and released a blue vortex shield in the other to block attacks.
A large amount of bullets and gravel were absorbed by the vortex shield.
The energy released with a casual wave.
Actually destroyed half of a house.
It swept through, impervious to swords and guns, invincible. Ordinary soldiers were almost no match for this war machine and could only be unilaterally slaughtered. The powerful attack power and destructive power made people's blood boil.
[When connected to a titan, an Titan Pilot can only be defeated by a large army or an enemy Titan Pilot!]
At this time, several new titans appeared in the picture.
Just as the most intense Titan Pilot battle between the two sides, who met on a narrow road, was about to break out.
The picture seen by the Adventurers suddenly switched to another place. Several large war carriers floated in the air, releasing drones to bomb the ground, while the soldiers below resisted with their flesh and blood.
[Since I can remember, the frontier has been my only home.]
[But IMC has been taking my resources, polluting and destroying our planet, and slaughtering everyone who wants to resist for so many years!]
[Although we have won consecutive battles on Ceres recently, there is still a long way to go to defeat IMC.]
[Now I am a rifleman in the Rebel Army, fighting for the freedom of the frontier. I am still far from becoming an Titan Pilot—but when I become an Titan Pilot, I hope to be worthy of the name!]
At this point, the cutscene ended.
From this brief monologue and introduction.
The Adventurers immediately understood the basic background of this world, the faction information, and the character identities. Most importantly, they witnessed the combat performance of the Titan Pilot and the titan mecha!
"This is a story that takes place on a certain frontier planet in one of the thousands of galaxies!"
The Adventurers felt their horizons broadened and, at the same time, a strong sense of anticipation. This Secret Realm not only has a very grand and unique world view, but its presentation is somewhat similar to the Ashina Country in the Ten Kingdoms Chronicle.
The world view of this Foreign Lands Chronicle is also quite rich, but the opening chapter chooses a small mountain country in the remote Eastern Ying. This design can show the big from the small, and highlight the large through the small!
The opening work of the Star Sea Secret Realm.
At least in this regard, it has the same effect!
At the same time.
Qi Wu is also paying attention to the Secret Realm Lobby.
The Adventurers' adventure in the Star Sea has officially begun.
The titan chapter of the Star Sea is a replica of "Titanfall 2". Compared with other single-player masterpieces, Titanfall 2 is not large in scale.
It can be described as short and powerful.
Because the process of most masterpieces or classic RPG games is usually more than twenty or thirty hours.
Compared to Titanfall 2, the main story process is very short. In the previous life, ordinary players could complete it in about five or six hours on easy mode, while experts could complete it in about two hours or more for a speed run.
Like a movie.
When it is remade into the Miracle City Secret Realm.
If the Adventurers are capable, they can complete it in at most two days.
Although the process is short, the story is absolutely wonderful, enough to leave the Adventurers with a deep experience!
