Chapter 145: Chapter 92 Colorful Mist Coast (Third Release, Requesting Monthly Ticket) _2

Game Working Party replied Give Me Your Spicy Strips: Don’t say you newbies are envious, even I, an old player who joined the game from the start, am envious. Back then, "Da Tie" relied on sheer strength, challenging the Source level monsters beyond his own level. Indeed, it’s not something just anybody can learn. I respect him for containing five Primordial Monsters.

...

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng is discussing the upcoming updates with Guidance.

These past days, he had observed that players had hit a developmental bottleneck.

More specifically, they faced limitations in containing Primordial Monsters.

There are only so many Primordial Monsters in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range; capturing one means one less remains.

To find more Primordial Monsters, one needs to venture beyond the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, exploring the broader world.

But the Insect Tide and Black Tide block the way like immovable obstacles, not quickly solvable and leading the Player Clan into a protracted battle.

As the Player Clan grows, the Insect Tide and Black Tide also grow wildly.

After all, Monster World is not a game; there is no beginner’s area.

Both blocking forces are potential-filled powers, by no means easily overpowered.

This leads to increasingly extended timelines for containing Primordial Monsters.

How to address this problem has become a challenging issue for Qi Sheng to think and solve.

After discussions with Guidance.

An idea began to form in his mind.

Construct a Space Transmission Array, establish a node in an area suitable for player development, and allow players to explore a much broader world through teleportation.

By then, the speed of containing Primordial Monsters could be improved, and it would also provide players with fresh experiences.

Another reason is that resources in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range are extremely limited.

Although the Rule Nodes can generate resources infinitely, the consumption rate of resources by Black Tide and Insect Tide is terrifyingly fast, making it difficult for players to gather Spirit Plant resources in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Establishing a new battlefield node would also facilitate the player’s search and utilization of various new resources.

This idea was progressively refined during discussions with Guidance.

Soon after, Guidance took his consciousness and flew out of the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range to begin exploring the broader world.

...

Pale Continent, Colorful Mist Coast.

The sky, a golden disc hangs high.

The coastline is lined with fine white sand, like a silver ribbon nestled by the azure sea.

The sea breeze blows, carrying the salty fragrance of seawater over the land.

Distant waves roll in layers, hitting the beach with a whooshing sound, playing a unique symphony.

Seabirds soar leisurely in the sky, their feathers shimmering silver-white under the sunlight, sometimes gliding low over the sparkling sea, sometimes shooting straight into the clouds, intertwining with the blue sky and white clouds to form a magnificent scene.

But at the end of the sea hangs a blood-colored Evil Moon.

The world under the Evil Moon’s light is enveloped by a dim red glow, splitting the same world into two distinctly separate scenes.

The coast is brimming with life.

Yet, at the ocean’s end, nightfall is eternal, stars hidden.

This stark boundary line is slowly advancing toward the coast.

It can be foreseen that the coast will be engulfed by the Evil Moon, becoming a part of the world under its illumination.

Guided by Guidance, Qi Sheng’s consciousness sweeps over this region.

Spiritual resources, monsters, Source, Sea Floor Spiritual Objects... massive amounts of information flood his mind.

Just as his consciousness prepares to leave, it pauses at this moment.

"Guidance, this place seems pretty good, backed by a rich ocean of resources, very suitable for player development."

[Indeed, although players have not mastered any water attribute Life Souls, I just scanned the seabed and found quite a few water-based Primordial Creatures. Capturing just one of them would make subsequent development much easier.]

[However, there’s a drawback to this scene. The Evil Moon at the sea’s horizon is looming closer, and it can only hold out for another three months at most before completely engulfing this area.]

What Guidance says is precisely what Qi Sheng hesitates about.

"Let’s go have a look."

[Alright.]

Guided by Guidance, the consciousness flies toward the ocean’s end, passing through the blood-colored veil.

The scene that unfolds before Qi Sheng causes his eyebrows to slightly furrow.

The sky is cloaked in thick, dark clouds, intermittently slashed by jet-black lightning, tearing through the clouds to reveal a dark red Waning Moon hanging high.

His sight scans below, a vast island on the sea, a desolate and distorted landscape presented in Qi Sheng’s Perception View.

Corrupted plants, gnawed carcasses, dark creatures fighting, tentacles breaking through the earth... The island was covered with twisted and entwined Corrosion Cores.

Even the ocean surrounding the island was controlled by the Corrosion Cores generated by the Evil Moon, and the sea had turned blood-red. Through the sea surface, countless Evil Spirits could be seen swiftly swimming around the island.

This was an area completely occupied by the Evil Moon.

And the strength of the Evil Spirits here was much higher than in the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range, with an average Hunting Level above 40.

The only thing that gave Qi Sheng some relief was that the Horror Black Tide had not yet arrived.

Guidance had once explained to him the difference between the Black Tide and the Evil Moon.

Although the Evil Moon was part of the Horror Black Tide, its advancing speed was not synchronized with the Black Tide.

The Evil Moon could be understood as the field of the Horror Black Tide; whenever it invades a world, the power of the Evil Moon infiltrates that world, creating a home-field advantage for the Black Tide, then the intelligent Evil Spirits descend, exploiting the advantage to create the Black Tide.

This process is generally smooth.

All areas shrouded by the Evil Moon would generate a large number of Corrosion Cores, absorbing regional energy, and preparing Bursting Soldiers energy for the arrival of the Black Tide.

Besides, under the illumination of the Evil Moon, the world would continuously generate mindless Evil Spirits like Blood Corpses and Curse Soldiers, attacking the lives in those areas, clearing obstacles in advance for the arrival of the Black Tide.

As Guidance puts it: the Black Tide’s fighting strategy is a three-step process.

First step, illumination by the Evil Moon.

Second step, descent of the Evil Spirits.

Third step, sweeping of the Black Tide.

This is precisely why the Horror Black Tide is terrifying.

Ordinary beings are unable to dispel the Evil Moon, can only watch helplessly as their regions are infiltrated and corrupted by the power of the Black Tide, eventually facing the sweeping Black Tide led by the Evil Spirits.

But this problem did not exist for Qi Sheng.

As long as he dispelled the Corrosion Cores, he would have the ability to drive back the Evil Moon.

This place, without the led Horror Black Tide, is merely the Evil Moon and not to be feared, indeed very suitable for the development and growth of players.

With that thought, Qi Sheng began planning the location to set up the Space Transmission Array.

Unlike Imperial Tomb Village, which can exist independently of Monster World and only consumes sacrificial power to ignore external forces’ interference, the first consideration for setting up a Space Transmission Array is safety.

Because the territories established by players near space nodes risk being destroyed.

That means, this space node does not have the concept of a safe zone.

And if a player dies, their soul returns to Imperial Tomb Village, and they can only return through teleportation.

Scanning the area, Qi Sheng realized that there was no so-called safe area in this region.

Without the protective Territory Characteristics of Imperial Tomb Village, it seemed the same everywhere.

Finally, Qi Sheng’s consciousness stopped 530 meters behind the coastline.

This was a natural barrier composed of dense fruit trees, where the tall and straight trees with lush leaves could effectively block the sea wind and rain.

Back in Imperial Tomb Village, Qi Sheng switched to the Emperor’s Omen Form at this time.

His head transformed into a blazing crimson flame, and Guidance at this moment connected him with Yan Ming.

Shortly after, Yan Ming’s voice resonated in Qi Sheng’s mind:

"This is up to me. I will inform you once it’s done."

Accompanying Yan Ming’s voice, a wandering azure Spiritual Pattern emerged on the ground, sketching a stable Teleportation Array.

"How long will it take?"

"I am too weak now, unable to finish quickly. To speed up, it would need to burn ten times more sacrificial power," Yan Ming immediately replied.

Hearing that quickly sketching a stable Teleportation Array needed ten times the sacrificial power, Qi Sheng decisively shook his head:

"Take your time, notify me once it is done."

"Okay."

After instructing his task, Guidance left an Avatar above the Array to interface with Yan Ming, then brought Qi Sheng’s consciousness back to the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range.

Compared to the scenic beauty of the Colorful Mist Coast, the Emperor Tomb Mountain Range under the waning moon appeared especially gloomy and oppressive.

It is certain that the absolutely beautiful scenery of the Colorful Mist Coast will attract a large number of Exploration Faction players to go.

The geographical condition close to the sea will also make Fishing Faction players long for it.

But to go there, they have to pay.

After the stable Teleportation Array is established, it needs to continuously consume sacrificial power.

According to the calculations from Guidance, the daily expenditure cost is about 3000 points of sacrificial power, the specific consumption will have to be recalculated after Yan Ming completes the Array.

This steady expenditure he must inevitably pass on to the players.

As for how much sacrificial power to charge per transmission, he will consider it after the Teleportation Array is completed.
