Mental Power.
Soul Crystals.
They are a core resource for the territory.
Soul crystals can be used to build Underground City facilities, increase territory functions and capacity, making the territory more prosperous, and Adventurers will drop it every time they die in the secret realm.
Mental power is a resource for Dungeon Lords to build secret realms and increase their own rank. It can only be extracted if Adventurers generate sufficiently strong positive emotions during the secret realm process.
For a boring secret realm, it may repeatedly produce soul crystals.
But it cannot infinitely generate mental power.
Only by creating a secret realm that can truly make Adventurers feel joyful, happy, exciting, and exhilarating can mental power be absorbed!
Black Stone Hammer King looked annoyed.
"Damn, although the living corpses are not strong, there are quite a few of them!"
"I think ammunition is very precious in the early stage, and according to my observation, these living corpses are particularly sensitive to sound. Handguns may attract them, so they should be used cautiously!"
Lonely Swordsman said, "Let me try!"
This one is clearly a more experienced senior Adventurer!
After Lonely Swordsman entered the secret realm, he didn't use his handgun at first. Instead, he killed the Grinning Zombie with an axe, and then began exploring the rooms along the corridor.
He used a sneak attack to kill two more zombies wandering in the room.
As expected, it didn't attract more enemies.
Not only that, while exploring the rooms, he quickly found two clips of ammunition and even a second handgun, directly doubling his firepower.
"Wow!"
"As expected of Uncle Sword!"
"Bullets can indeed be replenished!"
"This is the correct approach and game-play!"
Black Stone Hammer King and Cat Meow Meow both cheered upon seeing this.
Just then, a zombie hiding in the darkness suddenly launched a sneak attack.
"Uncle Sword, be careful!"
Lonely Swordsman was also startled and quickly swung his axe to fight. After a few rounds, he successfully chopped it to death, but was injured in several places as a result.
"Damn, the noise is too loud, the nearby living corpses heard it!"
The zombies wandering in the nearby corridor were attracted. In this situation, relying solely on the axe was clearly useless. Lonely Swordsman overturned a table for cover and shot, emptying two clips, killing all eight zombies.
Cat Meow Meow shouted, "Uncle Sword is really amazing, he actually killed so many!"
While Black Stone Hammer King said, "Don't be careless, there are still living corpses outside, he can't stay here for long!"
Lonely Swordsman still had one clip, but there were at least five or six zombies in the corridor. The survival difficulty in this situation was very high, and he felt his body seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.
He lifted his clothes to look and the wound had turned black and festered.
Cat Meow Meow widened her eyes, "Not good! The living corpses are probably poisonous! Uncle Sword, how do you feel?"
Lonely Swordsman said in a deep voice, "I don't feel good, I can last at most fifteen minutes!"
Black Stone Hammer King reminded, "The medical kit should be able to treat injuries."
The medical kit was one of the three initial items.
It contained bandages and medicine to heal injuries.
"This place is no longer safe, living corpses could come in at any time. I'd better find a way to evacuate from here first and treat myself after reaching a safe area!"
Cat Meow Meow stated, "Uncle Sword, look at the window behind you, it seems like a way to escape."
There was a broken window in this room. Although it was on the third floor and quite high from the ground, he could climb down completely via the pipes. Below was a narrow alley with no zombie activity.
A minute later.
Lonely Swordsman rappelled down into the narrow alley.
Just as he walked out, preparing to find a safe shelter.
He was directly stunned by what he saw before him. The streets outside were densely packed, filled with terrifying zombies everywhere. At a glance, there were at least hundreds, if not thousands.
There were men and women, old and young. Some wore sportswear, some wore suits, and some wore police uniforms, hazmat suits, and firefighter uniforms, aimlessly wandering around.
All were bloody and mangled.
All were hideous and terrifying.
A few discovered the Adventurer and let out howls.
In an instant, the entire horde of corpses was alerted!
"It's over!"
Lonely Swordsman had no time to escape. Hundreds of zombies surged into the alley, vying with each other. The scene was simply breathtaking, or rather, spine-chilling!
A dead end behind him. Nowhere to retreat.
An unprecedented sense of despair surged into his heart.
This moment the Adventurers finally understood why the secret realm was named "Doomsday Frenzy"!
Lonely Swordsman fought back desperately, emptied his last clip, then picked up his axe and chopped down two more, but was then helplessly overwhelmed and torn to shreds by the frantic tide of corpses.
[Adventurer "Lonely Swordsman" has died. Mental Power +1, Soul Crystal +1!]
When Lonely Swordsman returned to the Underground City.
The three Adventurers looked at each other at this moment.
"That's too exaggerated!"
"There are actually so many living corpses!"
"What on earth happened to this city? Why have all the people in the city turned into this state!"
"Interesting! There must be a story!"
"I'm getting more and more interested in it!"
"Speaking of which, the production of this small Underground City is too intense, aren't all these monsters supposed to cost something?"
The three Adventurers were clearly shocked by the scene they just saw!
They were also amazed by the production level of this secret realm!
They had never seen a secret realm with such rich elements, so many monsters, and such a unique art style. This was completely different from any secret realm they had challenged in the past!
Cat Meow Meow put her hands on her hips and questioned, "Hey, Lord Quinn, I have to admit, your secret realm is very well made, but with so many monsters stuffed inside, how can we possibly clear it? Did you not intend for Adventurers to clear it at all!"
Quinn smiled slightly and said, "There must be a way to clear the secret realm I created. You just need to do more exploring, collect stronger weapons, and find better escape routes."
"Is that so?"
Cat Meow Meow was skeptical.
"Then can you tell us what happened in this world, and why the local residents all turned out like this."
Black Stone Hammer King immediately said, "Meow Meow, don't make it difficult for the Lord. The production level of this secret realm is extremely high, and the Lord must have a lot of ideas. It's more interesting for us to explore and figure it out ourselves!"
Cat Meow Meow's eyes shined, "That's true!"
Then Lonely Swordsman exclaimed in surprise, "I got loot!"
This immediately piqued the interest of the other two Adventurers.
What is called "getting loot" is the Adventurers' term for rewards from the secret realm.
Why do Adventurers like to challenge secret realms? Besides seeking the fun of adventure and challenge, the main reason is that they can obtain living materials from the secret realms, and the material output of different secret realms is different.
Generally speaking, the probability of material output is not very high.
Of course, the specific output is also related to the completion degree of the secret realm.
The higher the completion degree of a secret realm and the more thoroughly it is developed, the higher the probability of resource output.
This is also why the Adventurers were surprised, because from the current situation, their development of "Doomsday Frenzy" was just superficial, and it was somewhat unexpected that resources could be produced under such circumstances.
Quinn was not surprised by this.
His secret realm had too many elements and too much content, so the resource probability naturally increased.
Miracle City can drop various resource items from different game worlds. These exclusive outputs will be the core competitiveness of the Underground City.
Of course.
Due to the extremely low development degree of the secret realm.
Even if rewards are generated, they are extremely limited.
The reward Lonely Swordsman received was just a box of cold Dr. Pepper. The production of this basic material wouldn't even consume mental power.
Dr. Pepper is a good thing.
The production capacity of the surface world is extremely low, and all kinds of materials are very scarce. I believe even such a reward is enough to satisfy the Adventurers!
