Many new Lords poured their hearts and souls into competing with Adventurers for two or three years, going bald from exhaustion before barely reaching Second Rank... but Quinn achieved it in just three days!
The next level requires 5000 Mental Power.
It doesn't seem that difficult!
Second Rank Lords' lifespan will increase by 50%.
Acquire the ability to create Second Rank combat units, or build Second Rank secret realm cores and Second Rank buildings.
This is why Quinn must rank up as quickly as possible; the higher the secret realm's rank, the richer its content, and the higher the building's rank, the more powerful its functions.
The current territory only has one First Rank secret realm core, which can run content up to 1000 Mental Power.
Quinn has already invested 335 Mental Power worth of materials into Doomsday Frenzy, so investing another 665 Mental Power will put this secret realm into full load operation.
Doomsday Frenzy currently only has one major level built, and at least two or three more are planned. Subsequent levels will gradually increase monster density, and the material investment will definitely exceed 1000 Mental Power.
With the performance of a First Rank core.
It's like a calf pulling a train. It simply can't handle it!
In the future, he also needs to build story modes, various battle modes, or classic game-play like Resident Evil survival, battle royale, and so on.
Only by upgrading the core can these contents be fully presented, and to upgrade the core, he must first rank up. A Second Rank secret realm core has stronger performance and can support up to 5000 Mental Power worth of materials, which is enough to create more ideal content and enrich the game-play.
Furthermore, after becoming a Second Rank Lord he gained an opportunity to open the Sea of Inspiration.
Although upgrading is not the only way to obtain Inspiration Crystals, new Inspiration Crystals can also be activated through certain special items or unique encounters.
However, such opportunities are usually extremely rare and hard to come by. Most Lords can only rely on ranking up to acquire more materials.
Without hesitation. Open the Sea of Inspiration!
In an instant, it felt like his soul left his body.
Quinn only felt his consciousness plunge into a vast, boundless sea of vibrant colors.
[Do you wish to awaken the Inspiration Crystal?]
"Awaken!"
A mysterious energy stirred the magnificent, colorful Sea of Inspiration, causing it to form a giant vortex. A massive crystal gradually formed and emerged within the vortex.
Subsequently.
A second one.
A third one.
[You have awakened the Crystallizations of Inspiration: Sekiro, Resident Evil, and Hot-Blooded Legend. Please select one to activate!]
"What's going on?"
"There are actually three?"
He didn't expect this scene to occur.
Each rank-up can only obtain one Inspiration Crystal.
This is an iron rule. Absolutely no exceptions!
But perhaps because his Sea of Inspiration was too vast.
Every time Quinn ranked up and awakened, he could condense several crystals.
However he could choose only one of the multiple Crystallizations of Inspiration to activate.
What about the remaining two crystals?
By communicating with the Sea of Inspiration, he learned that the unactivated Crystallizations of Inspiration would not disappear. They would permanently float above the Sea of Inspiration, all becoming a permanent reserve material library.
As long as the time is right Quinn could choose to activate one of them at any time.
Every opportunity to activate an Inspiration Crystal could be used to activate these reserve crystals.
This way, there are more choices.
Some games are good games, but they are not suitable for building at the current stage.
So, how should he choose among the three games Sekiro, Resident Evil, and Hot-Blooded Legend? It's actually not difficult to decide, he just needs to consider two practical factors.
First, the performance issue of the current secret realm core.
Under full load, a First Rank core can only run content up to 1000 Mental Power; even if it is upgraded to Second Rank in the future, it will only increase to 5000.
Second, the territory currently does not have the ability to create a second secret realm.
Because one core cannot simultaneously run two secret realms with completely different rules, and Miracle City only has one core. If he wants to create a second game, Quinn must seize a new core.
Therefore, this time obtaining materials should still focus on enriching the current secret realm.
Sekiro is definitely a game worth building.
Quinn believes it will become a super sickle for harvesting Adventurers.
The problem is that Sekiro's worldview and material attributes do not match Doomsday Frenzy and cannot be crammed into the same secret realm, as such it is more suitable for building an independent secret realm.
As for Hot-Blooded Legend, it's even less suitable.
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, this is an online game, and its game-play charm can only be fully realized with large-scale networking.
Therefore, unless the territory's scale and population reach a considerable size, such online games will not be within Quinn's consideration for the time being.
Eliminating two, there is only one choice.
Choose to activate the Resident Evil crystal!
"My luck is good!" Quinn couldn't help but exclaim.
Fortunately, he drew Resident Evil.
Otherwise, if he had gotten something like Legend of Sword and Fairy, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, Titanfall, Diablo, or League of Legends, although they are all top-tier games and top-tier materials, given the current situation of the territory, he could only stare blankly.
The materials from the Resident Evil series may not necessarily be better, but they are highly compatible with Doomsday Frenzy and will not cause rejection, allowing them to run simultaneously. Thus, they can be created without occupying more cores!
It can both showcase the charm of Resident Evil and enrich the content and worldview of Doomsday Frenzy!
Quinn already had the idea of creating a story mode, and now obtaining Resident Evil is like adding fuel to the fire. After all, although Left 4 Dead has excellent game-play, its portrayal and shaping of plot, characters, and worldview are not as good as the former.
With the Resident Evil series materials, Doomsday Frenzy's quality will reach a higher level!
It will definitely bring Adventurers a more immersive experience!
After Resident Evil was successfully activated, Quinn immediately checked the content of the Inspiration Crystal.
Various dense materials were presented before his eyes.
— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —
[Monster Materials]: t-Virus Zombie, Zombie Dog, Licker, Tyrant T-001, Tyrant T-002, Tyrant T-003, Nemesis, Uroboros, Executioner, g-Virus Form...
[Character Materials]: Jill, Chris, Leon, Carla, Simmons, Wesker...
[Location Materials]: Mansion, Underground Laboratory, Raccoon City...
[Weapon Materials]: ...

Awesome!
It's too rich!
The amount of materials awakened this time is something most Lords could never hope to achieve in their lifetime.
This Inspiration Crystal basically encompasses all content from the Resident Evil series.
There are as many as twelve models of Tyrant Zombies, not to mention various scenes, weapons, vehicles, and even character materials!
So many materials and among them are several ridiculously strong monsters.
If he were to build all the series, let alone 5000 Mental Power, even 10,000 Mental Power wouldn't be enough. Therefore, releasing them in stages and integrating them into the Doomsday Frenzy story mode is undoubtedly the correct approach.
"The road is long and arduous!"
Quinn let out a sigh of emotion.
Then he set two goals for himself.
First, collect materials as quickly as possible to upgrade the Miracle City core, in order to create more Doomsday Frenzy content.
Second, expand the Underground City as quickly as possible, both to increase the territory's size and to seize new cores, so that excellent games like Sekiro can be built!
With goals set, he must execute them immediately.
He already had a batch of soul crystals in hand.
It's time for Miracle City to start expanding!
