Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 179 Logistics Player, Free Rewards
The continent of Calter.

At this time, one large squad of players from the Third Legion was stationed in a troll city that had been captured.

In this northern city, the number of troll captives held has exceeded ten thousand.

The number of human slaves is approaching 200,000.

Managing such a large group of people with a mere thousand players, and even with the support of over five hundred monsters.

It really drove the players crazy.

The logistics tasks promised by the chief were indeed logistics tasks.

The safety is unquestionable, but compared to this logistical task, many players even feel that going to the front lines to fight is better.

The basic needs of over 200,000 people, including food, drink, and sanitation.

Even potential conflicts—all of this needs to be managed.

This is absolutely a headache.

In order to secure food, in the early days, all players even had to personally go to the outskirts of town to transport and find food.

Fortunately, all of them had at least received compulsory education.

Therefore, after a period of initial chaos, the situation quickly transitioned into a relatively stable period.

Eat?

Simply assign hardworking human slave NPCs to harvest the crops that troll cities had previously planted in the fields.

As for the trolls who become prisoners, as long as they dare to cause trouble, the players born in the second map won't mind giving themselves extra experience and items out of thin air.

Thus, under such a highly powerful deterrent...

Soon the troll captives in the city dared not cause any more trouble.

The fact that human slaves worked hard without complaint was also quite admirable.

Players even appointed some daring human slave NPCs to guard the unarmed troll captives.

As human beings.

Even though the humans in the native world of Kalte have been thoroughly enslaved by the trolls.

But never underestimate the evil in human nature.

Once given the chance to rise above their circumstances, many of these slaves would be happy to vent all their pent-up resentment and hatred on the trolls.

Therefore, when players grant some human slaves the power of life and death.

Even though they were not extraordinary and their hands and feet were chained, the trolls who were captured truly experienced the terrifying feeling of living between life and death at any moment.

"This damn logistics task."

"The chief is really good at creating trouble. He said he would at least give us some opportunities to conquer towns, but our legion is just doing menial tasks."

"Look, after taking over a city, let alone letting us conquer small towns, it's been almost several months and we're still stuck in the same place without making a single move."

How much reward can you get for this kind of logistical mission?

"If we had known it would turn out like this, we would have been better off sending us to the front lines to try our luck. We die with our bodies in the air, and these kinds of opportunities to gain experience are rare."

At this moment, on the city wall of this troll city, several players are watching everything inside the city.

Meanwhile, the troll city was undergoing a massive reconstruction effort, following the plans and requirements of several infrastructure-building players within the legion.

The reconstruction work was overseen by troll captives, as well as a great many human slaves.

According to the captain of this player team.

Now that we've been assigned the task of guarding the city, we absolutely cannot let the human slaves and troll captives in the city be idle.

After all, being idle means that some unpleasant things are likely to happen.

Therefore, regardless of whether rebuilding the city was meaningful or even if it might improve the game's rating, the large group of players still did it.

"Come on, based on what we've seen of the city's attack and defense so far, are you sure you can gain any experience points?"

"I wouldn't say 100%, but if we players participate in this kind of war, at least 90% of us will become 'line-filling babies,' and that's even if high-level magical beasts have already cleared out the high-level and even most of the mid-level trolls in the city."

"Indeed, those high-level beings, if they were in the real world, would be at least walking mini nuclear bombs!"

"Who would dare to step in when they're fighting?"

"Let alone high-level ones, even mid-level superhumans probably have the strength to overturn a tank with their bare hands. No, they could overturn a small ocean-going vessel!"

"I'm so envious. When will we be able to obtain such power?"

"However, in the end, as long as you can survive in the game, you'll have a chance sooner or later!"

"Therefore, adventurous thinking is unacceptable. Do you really think this world is an ordinary game world? What kind of player character can resurrect infinitely?"

The players gathered in small groups, chatting idly.

Meanwhile, atop a tall mage tower atop the city wall...

The captain and ten squad leaders of this player legion are gathered together, observing the changes in the entire city and discussing their next steps.

"I think everyone has seen the message from our temporary legion leader in the legion chat room."

"Our next task is simple: to rebuild the city while guiding the human slaves of this world to reshape the correct values."

"We must make these humans fully realize that they are the masters of this world, and make them truly serve the Chief from now on."

"By doing this, the legion commander doesn't know if it will improve the evaluation of the simulation day, but at least we can get a good word in front of the chief. In the future, similar good things will not only be in large-scale battles like this."

"But in both worlds, our chances of gaining the protection and assistance of the dominant power will be greatly increased."

"The Chief has already adopted a different approach to the game compared to ordinary players like us. The submission of the Warcraft Mountains, the submission of almost all dragon species on the continent, and even the subsequent movement of the entire Auckland continent will follow the Chief's will."

"Under these circumstances, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this game has become the premier playground."

"Therefore, regardless of the considerations—whether it's the Human Alliance, the Bright Moon Pavilion, or even the independent players—they must take the chief's affairs seriously." The captain, player 'Human Sweet Cookie,' displayed a businesslike attitude, showing no hint of joking.

The other squad leaders nodded in agreement.

"What the captain said is true."

"Real games are not fake games after all. Although we are so-called players, we cannot treat everything in the game as a real game."

"We must approach this game with the same level of thinking as we do in real life."

"How do we deal with leaders? How do we deal with the powerful? I think this point doesn't need to be emphasized again. Based on strength and status, we must be cautious when dealing with the chief, after all, it concerns our own interests."

A third-tier squad leader player chimed in in agreement.

"That being said, you can't help but see the momentum of the chief."

"What do we players mean to the chief?"

"Can the CEO really remember us?"

"To put it bluntly, I think the chief is almost not human anymore. Of course, I'm referring to his status, not his species."

"I feel that the chief is not far from becoming a god."

"A deity, and one that can appear in reality. Just thinking about it makes me feel a little scared. After all, I think you have seen the Chief's terrifying size."

"If the Chief wants to take some action in the real world, I think it's difficult for anyone to stop him at this stage, right?"

"If you ask me, let's all secretly vote for the top spot this time."

"After all, we're nothing in the game, but in reality, even a chief needs errand runners and management staff, right?"

"Who knows, when the time is right, we might even be able to get some credit for 'helping the emperor rise to power' or something."

It must be said that the player who spoke at this moment was truly making no attempt to hide anything.

It almost said what most players could think of, and even things they were unwilling to say directly.

So, after this player finished speaking, all the squad leaders fell silent.

However, the captain, 'Human Sweetie,' didn't take the player's words to heart and instead gave a strange smile.

"The merit of following the dragon is a really ancient saying."

"However, it is quite fitting."

"So, I guess many of you are already thinking of secretly joining the Chief, right?"

As soon as "Little Sweetie" said this, the surrounding squad leaders remained silent, but the expressions on many people's faces said it all.

However, the little sweetheart just smiled at this.

"Go ahead and vote, you're welcome to vote."

"However, I think some people's wishes are destined to be in vain."

“You have no idea what the chief is thinking, nor do you have any idea of ​​the chief’s vision.”

"But, in the end, it's a good thing that you voted for the chief. It's better than being a lackey of a tycoon or a fence-sitting opportunist."

As soon as the phrase "a sweet treat for humans" was uttered, the strange expressions on the faces of the ten squad leader players turned out to be...

"Uh? Captain? You don't know the Chief, do you?"

The little human sweetie smiled without saying a word.

"What is the captain's identity? Although the captain has emphasized more than once that he is not a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, many people can see the relationship between the captain and the First Legion Commander 'Insomnia and Rain'."

"So, isn't it only natural that the captain knows the chief?"

"But wait a minute, what's your status, Captain? If you really knew the Chief, you should at least be a Legion Commander, or even a Deputy Legion Commander?"

"But what's the situation with your position as the battalion commander?"

Several squad leaders then felt that something was amiss.

In response, the human sweetheart decided to continue teasing the players in front of him.

But the next moment, a real, server-wide game announcement suddenly interrupted their chatter.

The other ten squad leaders, including Little Cookie, were initially bewildered, but then became overjoyed.

"I rely on!!!"

"What exactly did the chief do?!"

"They won that? And they even conquered a world ahead of schedule?"

"A 50% growth bonus!!! I should be at Tier 4 now!!! Hahaha, and this isn't even the final reward for the simulation day. Maybe I can look forward to Tier 5 next time I log in!"

"The CEO is so generous! It's definitely a good thing to associate with him!"

"No, wait, are trolls really that easy to defeat? What happened to the prediction that many gods might be among them?"

"Why did you chicken out so easily? How did the chief manage to do that? It's simply incomprehensible."

"Is that even a question? The chief hasn't turned off the game since the very beginning."

At this moment, all the players on the server cheered.

It's easy to imagine that after logging off, these players would rave about Lin Ke, the chief player, to the skies.

And that was indeed the case when the forced update was initiated half an hour later.

The moment the player's consciousness returned to reality, the entire internet on Earth came alive.

This excitement wasn't just limited to players' individual boasts; it also stemmed largely from the effect of the actual game's released simulation videos.
