The process of morizing the ga code was truly frustrating for Feng Qi.
After hours of effort, he had only morized a tiny fraction of it. He couldn't even imagine how long it would take to morize the entire thing.
Unlike morizing cultivation techniques, where he could rely on continuous mory, he had no understanding of ga code. Each character had to be morized individually and then linked together in his mind.
After several hours of trying, he gave up.
He decided to learn a programming language in the Real World to make the morization process easier. Without that understanding, relying solely on mory was like trying to bail out a sinking ship with a teacup.
More importantly, historical changes could easily lead to partial alterations in the code. If he couldn't morize the super virtual ga's code in one go, there would be too many variables.
So he chose to abandon the effort. At least until his mory improved significantly, he wouldn't attempt it again.
But during the morization process, an interesting idea had sparked in his mind.
This super virtual ga, which existed in history, adopted a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) format similar to the genre before the Cataclysm.
Its core features were tens of thousands of art magic spells replicated from reality, along with realistic ga environnts and physics simulations.
Upon entering the ga, players could freely combine art magic spells and then compete against players of similar skill levels through a matchmaking ladder system.
Battles took various forms, including 1v1, 5v5, Team Battles, and massive 10,000-player wars.
The constant remained: players always fought against other players.
So he wondered if it were possible to create a ga scenario where players could battle domain creatures.
It would be similar to the domain field instances found in the Real World.
The instance's content could be entirely virtual, but the domain creatures within could draw inspiration from reality, just like the art magic spells, and be replicated 1:1 in the ga.
This would include the domain creatures' physical features, habits, and innate abilities.
In this way, players could learn how to counter even the most formidable domain creatures and domain warriors within the ga.
If this idea succeeds, the casualty rate for domain combat teams will plumt, and the efficiency of clearing Domain Fields will soar.
But all this was just a concept.
History must have seen others consider similar ideas, yet nothing of the sort ever materialized. This suggested that creating Domain-oriented dungeons presented nurous challenges.
Feng Qi wasn't worried.
All he needed to do was plant a seed in the Real World and wait for it to sprout.
Even if one Future Line failed, he could use multiple 1500-year cycles to refine the concept of domain instances.
[Feng Qi, that's a brilliant idea! If this works, clearing Domain Fields will beco significantly easier. After all, combat training between humans is ultimately superficial. Its main purpose is to hone art magic proficiency and combat awareness. But humanity's true enemies are domain creatures. Eventually, domain warriors must enter Domain Fields and confront these creatures directly, where countless variables co into play.]
[But be prepared," the Narrator warned. "If you plant this seed, the next ti you enter the Dream Realm, the code for the super virtual ga will increase dramatically, perhaps even several tis over. Without the innate ability of Photographic mory, you might beco overwheld by the complexity and end up ntally breaking down.]
Feng Qi felt a chill run down his spine at the Narrator's words. He could almost feel his hairline receding.
The existing code was already giving him a headache. If the code multiplied several tis over, the morization difficulty would increase exponentially, leaving him utterly bald.
So, the question is, the Narrator continued, is it harder to write the code or to morize it?
"I'm not sure," Feng Qi replied. "I'll try studying this after I return to the Real World."
Giving up on morizing the super virtual ga's code, he closed the relevant page and opened the Cultivation Technique Library to select the cultivation techniques he would take with him.
During his search, he found a two-star Body Refinent Combat Technique called the Dragon-Seizing Technique.
He clicked on the technique's details page and entered a learning state.
Compared to morizing ga code, morizing cultivation techniques with continuous text was far easier, like reciting a textbook with clear logical connections.
He had already mastered the specialized terminology, so the morization process went smoothly.
Ti flew by.
This ti, he finished morizing the Dragon-Seizing Technique in just two hours. The improved mory efficiency from his bloodline evolution left him feeling elated.
His Guest Privilege for reviewing cultivation techniques had been used up. With the remaining ti, he began researching information on battle group configurations.
This would help him form a domain combat team to extract resources from the Domain Field, sustaining both his ga team and himself.
After entering keywords and clicking confirm, relevant content filled the screen.
As he read, he gained a deeper understanding of domain combat team mber configurations.
Domain combat teams, as the na suggests, are cultivator combat groups that frequently venture into the Domain Field to extract resources and even conquer domain instances.
They are divided into three tiers based on mber count: small battle groups, dium battle groups, and large battle groups.
Small battle groups require a minimum of 100 mbers, dium battle groups start at 1,000 mbers, and large battle groups begin at 10,000 mbers.
The strength of a battle group isn't determined by its size, but by its overall strength rating.
So battle groups have few mbers but boast exceptional overall strength. Many Top Domain Battle Groups don't even recruit mbers below Bronze rank.
The reason is simple: Top Domain Battle Groups typically tackle high-risk Domain Fields. Having weak mbers ans others must divert their attention to protect them, which severely hinders the group's progress.
Therefore, Top Domain Battle Groups generally adopt an elite system, where numbers are secondary.
Battle groups are ranked from E-Class to S-Class based on their overall strength. Beyond this, there are Super S-Rank battle groups recognized as the Top Ten Battle Groups.
Mu Qing's Dawn Battle Group once achieved the prestigious Top Ten Battle Group ranking.
The mber composition of a domain combat team is sowhat similar to the class combinations in a ga dungeon run, but far more complex.
Broadly, mbers are divided into three categories: main combatants, resource identification/gathering/exploration personnel, and support staff.
Within these categories, there are hundreds of specialized roles.
Each domain combat team tailors its composition to its specific needs.
However, one principle remains constant: combatants and healers/support staff form the core of any team.
Domain combat teams are divided into:
Combat Personnel: Group Leader, Main Combat, Bastion (firepower attraction, team damage absorption), Secondary Combat, Art Magic User (firepower suppression), etc. Support Personnel: dical (core main support), Formation Artificer, Crowd Control, Combat Logistics, etc.
The specific composition of these roles directly impacts the battle group's combat effectiveness and efficiency.
Therefore, the art of assembling a battle group is a complex skill. Many domain combat teams experint with different configurations when exploring various Domain Fields.
For example, consider an elental-focused Domain Field.
Physical damage is highly ineffective against elental creatures within such a field. To explore this type of Domain Field, major domain combat teams would typically withdraw so body cultivation domain warriors and replace them with more spirit artificers to counter the elental threats.
Having grasped the basic frawork of domain combat teams, Feng Qi began to review the Future People's improvents to their team configurations.
This was precisely why he had chosen to study these materials within the Dream Realm.
After all, he could have learned about domain combat team composition in the real world without wasting precious Dream Realm ti.
As he read, Feng Qi discovered that the Future People's battle group configurations were far more comprehensive than those in the Real World, with a wider range of specialized roles.
But to his embarrassnt, he discovered that these professions simply didn't exist in reality, nor were there any corresponding cultivation systems to train them.
For example, the unique profession of "Spirit Harvester" within the Future domain combat teams.
Similar to healers, Spirit Harvesters needed to learn specific cultivation techniques. Their ability was to extract specific psionic materials from deceased domain creatures.
These psionic materials could be transford into spirit energy crystals in the hands of Spirit Harvesters, generating inco for their team.
However, no such cultivation techniques existed in the Real World.
He tried searching the Cultivation Manual Database for related techniques, but found that all Spirit Harvester cultivation techniques were rated at least three stars or higher, which he, with his Guest Privilege, was forbidden from viewing.
After a mont of scrolling, he gave up.
He decided to review the battle group configuration details after returning to reality.
After all, each era had its own unique choices. He couldn't simply create an entirely new cultivation system in the Real World.
Even with access to the future shelter, he could only cultivate individuals.
Building a complete system required ti and accumulation.
It was like how each era had its own specific tactics. The tactics of the technological age were clearly not applicable in the cold weapon era.
Closing the battle group configuration details page, he searched for "Cultivation Technique Research" and began watching instructional videos.
Feng Qi quickly fell into a state of intense focus, completely absorbed in his studies.
Ti flew by, and finally, the Narrator's voice echoed in his mind:
Aren't you supposed to be going to the Mist Zone? You should head out now. Brother Hei is on his way with a forty-ter-long blade. If you don't leave soon, you're dood... though you're probably dood either way.
Hearing the Narrator's warning, Feng Qi nodded imdiately and turned without hesitation toward the tal corridor.
After exiting the corridor, he glanced eastward.
Little black's figure hadn't yet appeared, but it was clear he was already approaching.
Switching from his human body to his Battle Body Form, Feng Qi imdiately began running toward the Mist Zone.
After more than ten minutes of frantic sprinting, he stopped about ten ters from the edge of the mist.
Gazing into the churning gray-white mist, he could vaguely make out evil spirits flitting and dancing within. A raspy whisper pierced the mist and echoed directly in his ear.
After waiting a mont, little black's figure materialized in the distance, quickly drifting closer.
The mont was ripe. Feng Qi plunged directly into the mist, shouting at the top of his lungs:
"Lin Ran, co out!"
At his roar, the mysterious whispers within the mist intensified. Then, a face entirely ford of mist materialized before him.
At this mont, Feng Qi realized he couldn't move. His body was completely bound by chains ford from the mist.
"Do you know ? Which faction do you belong to? What do you want?"
Facing the Lord of the Mist's inquiry, Feng Qi wasn't sure if Lin Ran had truly done as he'd instructed and reversed the parasitic relationship, body-possessing the Lord of the Mist.
He had specifically co to the Mist Zone before exiting the Dream Realm to verify this.
Thinking of this, he imdiately shouted:
"Lin Ran, co out and see ! It's Feng Qi!"
At the na "Feng Qi," the Lord of the Mist's expression visibly froze, as if searching for relevant mories.
After a few seconds of silence, the mist-ford face revealed a look of shock:
"Feng Qi? Isn't he long dead?"
As the words fell, the Lord of the Mist's expression suddenly twisted in pain. The mist-ford face shattered with a crash, only to rapidly reassemble.
This cycle of collapse and reassembly repeated endlessly, as if the Lord of the Mist was trapped in a desperate struggle.
The mist chains binding Feng Qi shattered, and the surrounding mist churned violently with each change in the Lord of the Mist's expression.
Seeing this, Feng Qi's heart leaped with joy.
He'd never held much hope that Lin Ran could truly body-possess the Lord of the Mist.
Judging from the Lord of the Mist's reaction, it seed he had truly awakened Lin Ran's consciousness. Lin Ran was currently locked in a struggle with the Lord of the Mist for control of his body.
"Lin Ran, you little punk, give it your all! Kick his ass!"
[Awoo! Right Protector, do your best! Weakling Feng Qi needs your protection!]
The Narrator chid in with a howl of its own.
Just then, little black arrived, transforming into a form of black mist and beginning to devour the mist, rapidly closing in on Feng Qi's location.
[Run! Don't let little black catch you! Before you die, you absolutely have to know whether Lin Ran managed to reverse the parasitic possession!]
Heeding the Narrator's warning, Feng Qi imdiately broke into a sprint, plunging deeper into the mist.
His vision completely obscured by the dense fog, he couldn't even tell which direction he was running. He crashed through several trees before finally putting so distance between himself and little black.
anwhile, the black mist little black had transford into was still entangled with the mist.
But before little black, the mist was nothing more than a nutrient, utterly harmless.
Without the Lord of the Mist's control, the evil spirits within the mist lunged at little black, launching their own attacks.
However, these evil spirits, composed entirely of negative energy, couldn't even scratch little black. The mont they touched the black mist, their energy was drained, turning them into nothingness.
The Narrator, who had been observing the battle with its perception ability, was stunned by little black's performance.
[My god, little black seems even stronger than before! He's practically an energy killer! How did the Technology Research Institute's Mo create him?]
"This thing is even more terrifying than a domain creature. I suspect the Technology Research Institute used so kind of extraordinary super material when they built little black."
As he ran, Feng Qi suddenly asked, "Narrator, you can travel through tilines with and parasitize my body. What material were you made from?"
[How would I know? The mont I opened my eyes, I saw you, this idiot living dead, staring blankly at the Blood Moon and slapping yourself repeatedly to confirm you'd actually ti-traveled... I thought to myself, 'My Host is such an idiot. This is a total loss.' ]
"Really?"
Feng Qi didn't believe a single word of the Narrator's story and imdiately challenged it.
[I swear on my life.]
Just as Feng Qi was about to reply, a face ford from swirling mist materialized in front of him, blocking his path.
The mist face slowly opened its mouth:
"You're really... Brother Qi... You... didn't... die?"
