[Adventurer "Moonlight Shines on Snow" obtained Tank Zombie Soul from the Doomsday Frenzy Secret Realm, your Mental Power -30!]
The cost of deploying a Tank Zombie is 20 mental power, and extracting its soul essence from the secret realm for materialization consumes another 30 mental power, bringing the total cost to 50 mental power!
This was no small loss for any new Lord!
Quinn felt no pressure. Instead, he felt a surge of energy!
The mental power output of Doomsday Frenzy is extremely high. Conservatively estimated, today's income is over 1,500 mental power. What is a mere loss of 50 mental power?!
This was not a bad thing, but a great thing!
The Adventurers immediately gathered around to check.
[Tank Zombie Soul]: Five-star soul essence...
"It really is a five-star soul essence!"
"This is worth at least fifty ordinary zombie soul essences, right?"
"More than that, the quality of this soul essence is very high. Even among five-star monsters, it should be top-tier. If we take it to Black Stone Town, its value will only be higher!"
"Sister Moonlight is so lucky!"
"This is too enviable!"
However, Moonlight Shines on Snow made a decision that surprised everyone, "I apply to recycle the Tank Zombie Soul!"
"Ah?"
"Recycle?"
"Forget about ordinary zombies, you want to turn in this kind of soul essence too?"
"Are you crazy? This is something you can't necessarily buy even with money!"
Cat Meow Meow: "Sister Moonlight, why do you want to do this? Even for you, this soul essence is worth a lot!"
White Little Deer: "That's right, Sister Moonlight, even if you don't absorb it yourself, you can exchange it for a lot of soul essence materials. This should be enough to help you break through to the second tier!"
"Miracle City is an Underground City that has just started. If I take this high-level soul essence, it will be too big a blow to the Underground City!"
Moonlight Shines on Snow said, "As long as this Underground City exists, are we still afraid of not being able to farm Tank zombie soul essences in the future?"
Everyone was awestruck. She was worried that Miracle City would go bankrupt.
That's why she willingly turned in the soul essence.
This is called sustainable fishing, and everyone gave a thumbs-up, praising Moonlight Shines on Snow's actions.
Quinn was also completely bewildered by this situation.
No… Why is everyone so worried that I will go bankrupt?
Have you guys misunderstood something, and made a serious error in recognizing the strength of both sides?
Do I look that weak?
Let alone one, even ten, are nothing!
Of course, with such a good thing Boss Quinn would not refuse.
He originally wanted to recycle this soul essence.
The Adventurer's initiative to turn it in also saved him a lot of talking.
Moonlight Shines on Snow said, "Although I am willing to turn in this soul essence, we must discuss the terms!"
The relationship between Adventurers and Lords is always one of wits and strategy, a mutual game. Sometimes, when important resources or soul essences are dropped, it is normal to negotiate with the Lord.
Quinn replied, "No problem, as long as the terms are not excessive, this Lord can give you some preferential treatment!"
"First, I want 300 contribution points, 150 of which will be given to my three teammates, as they contributed significantly to this battle."
"Okay!"
Contribution points are just numbers.
Quinn controls the minting rights himself, so he can issue as many as he wants. And 300 contribution points for a five-star soul essence is not excessive at all.
"Second, I see that the territory has already built an Essence Altar, so I want to apply to become the first contracted Adventurer of Miracle City!"
This condition. It was too unexpected.
Cat Meow Meow quickly said, "Sister Moonlight, such an important matter, aren't you being too hasty with this decision!"
White Little Deer also hurried to say, "That's right, Old Dean will know, how will you explain it to him?"
Moonlight Shines on Snow didn't care. "I have my own judgment, and I believe in my choice!"
All the other Adventurers were surprised.
Wind in Sleep and Lonely Swordsman both admired Moonlight Shines on Snow's decisiveness.
How important is this decision? To fully understand its importance.
First, you need to understand the Adventurer's level system and cultivation system.
The Adventurer's cultivation method is different from the native races of the Chaos World.
The native races of the Chaos Continent cultivate in a way that is closer to traditional cultivators, while the Adventurer, this special profession, builds all their cultivation upon their destined soul essence.
First-tier Adventurers can fuse gray soul essence as their destined soul essence.
Second-tier Adventurers can fuse white soul essence as their destined soul essence.
And so on.
After contracting their destined soul, they need to continuously strengthen the fusion rate of their destined soul essence.
The process of clearing secret realms will slowly increase the fusion rate. In addition, there is another method, which is to absorb and refine other soul essences.
For example.
A certain first-tier Adventurer contracts the "ordinary zombie soul essence" as their life soul.
When this soul essence is first contracted, the fusion rate is only 0%. He can gradually increase the fusion rate by continuously clearing secret realms and using the power of this soul essence, or he can purchase various different soul essences to feed his destined soul essence.
When the fusion rate reaches 100%.
The Adventurer will completely master the power of this soul essence.
This situation is equivalent to the experience bar being full, and they can then contract a second-tier destined soul essence, thereby breaking through from a first-tier Adventurer to a second-tier Adventurer. This process can be repeated to continuously increase their tier.
Moonlight Shines on Snow's grandfather is White Crane Hermit.
He was the number one Adventurer in Black Stone Town in the past, and is currently the dean of the Adventurer Academy.
With the guidance and assistance of White Crane Hermit, although Moonlight Shines on Snow is only just eighteen years old, she has already fused several first-tier soul essences, and the fusion rate of her destined soul essence has reached 70%!
And her choice at this moment, is equivalent to giving up most of her cultivation.
Binding herself to Miracle City and starting cultivation again.
Each Adventurer can only contract the power of one Underground City at a time.
Once Moonlight Shines on Snow contracts with Miracle City, she will be deeply bound to this Underground City. If this Underground City collapses in the future, she will lose all the power she has gained in this city!
Although she can still bind to other Underground Cities, but she will have to pay a huge price and time cost!
Quinn looked at Moonlight Shines on Snow with admiration. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "This Adventurer lady is very courageous. This Lord has no reason to refuse this request, and I also believe this will be an absolutely correct choice!"
"You flatter me!"
Moonlight Shines on Snow smiled slightly, "Third, I want to contract a Witch zombie soul essence, so in the future, if the Lord has a Witch soul essence, you must prioritize contracting it for me!"
This woman is very smart!
Calculating this way, it's equivalent to exchanging a Tank soul essence for a Witch soul essence of the same quality. Not only does she get a free contract for a soul essence of the same tier, but she also earns an additional few hundred contribution points.
"Okay!"
Quinn nodded, "This Lord will only make this exception this once!"
It's not a loss. Although he promised to contract a Witch zombie soul essence for Moonlight Shines on Snow, this is a future soul essence, while the Tank soul essence he got now is a spot item.
Secondly, as the first contracted Adventurer of Miracle City.
Quinn should give her some benefits, as a reward for this courage, to set an example for other Adventurers and buy their loyalty!
[You recycled Tank Zombie Soul +1!]
The deal was reached! A powerful five-star soul essence was acquired!
Today's harvest was huge. The 160 Adventurers only took seven hours to exhaust all their energy, so Quinn could close early and tally today's harvest!
The total number of challenges for Doomsday Frenzy today was 1024.
Mental Power output: 2112.
Soul Crystal output: 845.
High mental power. This indicates that the Adventurers had a very enjoyable and happy time playing.
As for why the soul crystals are lower than the total number of challenges? This is because some 'wool-gathering' Adventurers were repeatedly clearing the novice levels. If an Adventurer successfully clears the level without dying, no soul crystals will drop.
When necessary in the future.
Quinn will restrict the novice levels.
For example, after a successful challenge, they cannot continue challenging, or limit the number of challenges per day.
There is no need for this for now, because the Underground City needs a large number of soul essences. Although these 'wool-gathering' players do not contribute soul crystals, they can produce a lot of soul essences.
As long as the recycling rate is high enough. Quinn can completely earn it back through foreign trade.
An ordinary zombie soul essence is worth quite a bit of magic crystals, and it's actually more profitable than directly harvesting from Adventurers.
Today's soul essence harvest output:
Ordinary zombie soul essence 110/185.
That is, 185 were produced, and 110 were recycled.
This recycling ratio is exaggeratedly high. Enough to make other Underground City Lords envious.
So, sometimes, a smaller Underground City scale can actually promote soul essence recycling, because Adventurers need a lot of contribution points to ensure they don't get pushed out by others while queuing.
Hunter, Smoker, Spitter, Boomer, Jockey: soul essence 4/8.
Charger 0/1.
Tank 1/1.
Total mental power expenditure was 300.
Net mental power income is 1912. Adding the remaining 45 mental power from yesterday, the current mental power is 1957.
Yesterday's remaining soul crystals were 172.
Plus additional income of 162 from selling soul essences.
Plus today's business income of 845.
Currently holding a total of 1179 soul crystals.
These resources are a considerable asset, enough to further develop the territory and further improve the remaining levels of the Tidal Secret Realm.
It seems the Adventurers' progress in clearing levels will be faster than expected.
Since that's the case, it's time to create more levels, especially incorporating materials from the Resident Evil Inspiration Crystal, such as Tyrants, Nemeses, G Creatures, etc.
