Summoning Players into My Game

"Increasing so much at once, no wonder it needs a sixteen-hour upgrade."

Lin Qi looked at the system's display of the maximum limit for managing players and also somewhat understood why the system needed a sixteen-hour upgrade.

Managing 4000 players is something even he can't arrange all at once.

However, with suddenly so many more players, he won't be lacking manpower for his grand mining plan.

By that time, not only Death Valley, but also the medium-sized Secret Silver Ore Vein in Thorn Forest can be quickly mined in a short time, without worrying about exposure due to long mining times.

Moreover, with these four thousand players, the defensive power of Red Moon Town will also undergo a qualitative change, especially if these players can become Martial Artists, then Red Moon Town's defensive power can rival those of large wilderness towns, and ordinary monster hordes will no longer pose a threat.

Then, Lin Qi turned his attention to the Managerial Authority section.

Compared to Level 1 Managerial Authority, Level 2 Managerial Authority, besides the three main features, adds an Intermediate Training Room in addition to the Basic Training Room; all else remains unchanged.

The renovation cost of the Intermediate Training Room is 50,000 units of energy and ten Energy Crystal Stones, requiring the renovation of at least a 500-square-meter independent room, containing an Intermediate Combat Puppet, which can be set to peak Extreme Martial Artist Power, with the highest combat level reaching Entering the Micro High Rank, able to master up to four Advanced Martial Artist Level martial arts, consuming 500 units of energy per hour.

"Entering the Micro High Rank?" Lin Qi looked at the system's description, quite surprised.

In his understanding of this high-tech world, the level of control people have over their bodies is divided into three tiers: Basic, Specialized, and Entering the Micro. The Entering the Micro tier has no subdivisions, and reaching it is rare, even rarer than Martial Artists.

However, at the Entering the Micro tier, after becoming a Martial Artist, the enhancement to combat power is mostly reflected in martial arts learning.

Of course, this learning typically can only go as far as the Seventh Rank martial arts, as the Eighth Rank is not something one can master just by bodily control.

But unexpectedly, the system has further subdivided the Entering the Micro realm into Initial Rank, Middle Rank, and High Rank.

This made Lin Qi very curious for a moment about what level the Entering the Micro High Rank is and how much it can enhance a Martial Artist's combat power.

However, curiosity aside, the 50,000 units of energy needed for the Intermediate Training Room are a small matter, but the renovation cost of ten Energy Crystal Stones is quite expensive, making him a bit reluctant.

Then Lin Qi turned his attention to a new function added in the Level 2 Managerial Authority.

The Basic Cultivation Tower construction permission allows for a significant increase in the energy density within a five-kilometer radius. The Basic Cultivation Tower has three levels, with each level becoming increasingly energy-dense. The first level has one hundred rooms, the second level has ten rooms, and the third level has one room. (The entire tower must be constructed entirely of Energy Ore and requires one thousand Energy Crystal Stones as the core, with a daily consumption of three Energy Crystal Stones after activation.)

"This Cultivation Tower truly is an artifact for establishing a base camp, but the cost is just too exaggerated. This would consume an entire Small Energy Ore Vein, and it still might not be enough to build it." Lin Qi looked at the description of the Basic Cultivation Tower, and although his heart was filled with desire, the construction cost was indeed outrageous.

According to the system's requirements, the energy ore consumed is a minor concern, as a Small Energy Ore Vein would certainly suffice, but one thousand Energy Crystal Stones would be unattainable even if they depleted a Small Energy Ore Vein.

He might not be able to earn these one thousand Energy Crystal Stones even in a year of the ox and horse.

However, it's undeniable that the Cultivation Tower is truly powerful, significantly enhancing energy density within a five-kilometer radius. This could undoubtedly elevate the constructed Red Moon Town to a new height because the more energy-dense the land, the greater the benefit for cultivation, becoming indispensable after becoming a Martial Artist.

Moreover, even if he didn't want to build the Basic Cultivation Tower, he would have to.

Currently, as a Tier Two Managerial Authority, he needs a Special Level Martial Arts Hall, an Advanced Martial Arts Hall, and a Basic Cultivation Tower to upgrade to Level 3 Managerial Authority while also fulfilling requirements for a Martial Arts Academy Disciple count of one hundred thousand and Bone Forging Realm players numbering twenty. Otherwise, he can't advance Managerial Authority.

"These four thousand players are certainly not given for free." Lin Qi looked at the conditions for upgrading to Level 3 Managerial Authority and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Upgrading to Level 3 Managerial Authority to earn so much by himself is clearly unrealistic. The only way is to shift this burden onto the players.

"To earn these resources quickly, it seems necessary to provide these players with more motivation." Lin Qi pondered and couldn't help but glance at the player clothing management and the Red Moon Town construction planning map on the table, as a sudden flash of inspiration struck.

Currently, due to the enhancement of the Managerial Authority, players' clothing levels can also be upgraded to Level 2 Basic Clothing and Level 2 Special Clothing.

Compared to Level 1 Basic Clothing, Level 2 Basic Clothing adds a Respawn Point selection function, allowing players to bind an additional respawn point. Upon death, they can revive at either of the two respawn points, with a cost of 300 units of energy for each player's upgrade.

Level 2 Special Clothing, compared to Level 1 Special Clothing, offers an attribute enhancement, changing from a minor effect to a slight effect, with each player's upgrade costing 1000 units of energy.

The role of these two types of Martial Arts Hall clothing, any player can understand how advantageous they are. One allows swift travel between two places after death, and the other offers attribute enhancements, making it hard for any player to resist such temptation.
