Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 182 The Real Game Revealed: Pillar Gods and the Path to Transcendence
[Administrator Privileges for Full Operation]

[1. As the operations administrator, you are obligated to maintain the operating rules of the entire real game. When the real game encounters problems with certain 'mechanics issues,' you are highly likely to need to step in to resolve them. However, whether or not you ultimately step in to resolve these issues can be based on the compensation you receive from the real game for your services.]

[At the same time, when the real game faces a significant risk of 'downtime,' you will not be able to refuse the call-up and must participate in actions to resolve the crisis. High risk means high reward; upon successfully overcoming such a crisis, you will receive equivalent compensation, or even higher-level privileges.]

[2. As an operations administrator, you will have the authority to issue tasks in the real game, including tasks to recruit players. However, all task issuance will be subject to review. Only after approval can the task be officially issued to players. All task rewards will ultimately be based on the real game's standards. All expenses will be covered by the real game, but you can also decide whether to add personal subsidy rewards.]

[3. As an operations administrator, you will have the ability to view most of the known hidden information in the actual game, and even understand the game's operating mechanism.]

[4. As an operations administrator, you have reached the pinnacle of the game's progression system. Going forward, your strength will ultimately depend on your own insights and the 'cultivation' gained over time.]

[Note: As an operations administrator, your growth comes from the utmost attention and nurturing from the actual game, and therefore you will bear greater responsibilities. You can understand that this is the price, but it is also the greatest opportunity of your life.]

[Real Game]

(A product of Mana's will, possessing certain willual tendencies and unique characteristics.)
[Operations Administrator: Lin Ke]

(Official, Level 3 access, currently the only one)

[Race: A fusion of human and dragon]

(The human body is the birthplace of your fundamental will, and also the anchor of your will; it cannot be abandoned.)
(The dragon's body is the body you fuse with on your path to transcendence, the source of your power, and cannot be discarded.)
[Life Energy Level: Primordial Species]

(The Primordial Species are the earliest 'source life forms' conceived when various demonic worlds were born, after the source laws of the universe were extracted. They possess some of the original laws of the universe and are high-energy life forms that are naturally compatible with the laws.)
[Potential Level: Ultimate]

(Ultimate potential means you were born with the highest starting point, and a high starting point means a high ceiling. You have the ability to conquer different worlds, seize the power of the laws of affinity of different worlds, and have the opportunity to become a 'pillar god' or even 'transcend'.)
(Warning: In the universe, the ancient and primitive beings in various worlds are beyond imagination. Your journey is full of infinite possibilities, but there is also an infinite possibility of being blocked halfway.)
[Current Rank: Demigod] (Space and Sun Divinity)
(No promotion has been made yet; currently at Rank 9. Promotion is available at any time and is not limited to the game or reality. You can use your game privileges to complete the promotion in the real world.)
------

[Scope of Management]

[1. On the day of the real game simulation, the video publishing function allows for the arbitrary blocking or enabling of all players' videos.]

[2. During the game, you have the ability to limit the growth rate of certain players and can adjust the level of investment in their development.]

(The training model is divided into five levels: maximum investment, high investment, medium investment, low investment, and minimum investment.)

(Different levels of investment in training will directly affect each player's growth rate, and even the game's settlement rewards.)
(Restriction: Elite players are excluded; they can submit their level of engagement, but the evaluation will be based on actual gameplay.)
[3. During the game, you have the right to directly ban players' accounts. Once a player is banned, they will lose all power in the game and in real life. Currently, the daily ban limit is 10 accounts.]

(Restriction: Elite players cannot be directly banned. You can submit reasons for banning to the official game, but the final decision will be based on the official game's standards.)
4. During the game, there are no secrets between you and other players; you can directly view all their personal and game information.

(Restriction: Elite players cannot view this; applications can be submitted but require approval.)
[5. In the player forum, you have full authority to ban, delete posts, and restrict player trading. Your posts will also be unrestricted, and you will have the ability to pin and highlight forum posts.]

[Content that can be made public]

(This is a description of the game itself, shown to the operations administrator by the actual game developer.)
[Energy System: Ample]

(Currently, there are two worlds providing energy, which is sufficient to support the development of all players.)
(The growth rewards required by players are supplied by energy derived from the actual game rules, which is risk-free and guarantees 100% safe advancement.)
(The item rewards required by the player are adjusted from items that currently exist or previously existed in the two worlds in the actual game. They may be replicas or originals, but their performance is the same.)
[Player System: Conservative]

(In current real-world gaming theory, the maximum number of players that can be reasonably nurtured simultaneously is three million; this ensures both a reasonable selection mechanism and that retained players can grow and improve as quickly as possible.)
(Currently, there are 78943 existing players. Another 150 million players will be selected for the first round of screening. Theoretically, after two projected days of screening, the number of slots can be reasonably increased again.)
(When new player slots are opened this time, the administrator will have full allocation authority, and the administrator will also have the authority to directly issue test qualifications to specific personnel. Currently, there is a limit of 10,000 slots.)
[Anchoring System: Positive]

(In the actual game operation process, we are actively exploring the surrounding astral planes of the world we have entered, in order to obtain the next playable map.)
(Currently, three other worlds have been explored, but efforts have not yet been made to infiltrate their rules.)
[Alternative Worlds: 3]

(1. Torbjörn: The main race is trolls, the rule corruption level is 0%, high risk.)
This world is currently an alliance civilization, which is inviolable, and the alliance has a five-thousand-year covenant.

(2. Green Earth: The main race is the Taven insectoids, the rule corruption level is 7%, low risk.)
This world is actively invading the Blue Star civilization. It has been reverse-anchored by the real game and is investing maximum force in the erosion of rules. Once the erosion reaches 10%, players can begin to participate in the 'game'.

Once the astral portal officially opens, it is expected that a small number of players will be able to descend into this world ten real-times from Earth.

(3. Intelligent Planet: The original main race was the 'Multi-Touch Race', with a rule erosion rate of 0%, low risk.)
This world is a technological civilization that has just entered the 'Level 1' stage. It has no magic or Mana will, and the real game does not require the intrusion of rules, nor are there any rules that can be intruded upon.

In today's world, real-world games can be launched with players at any time, or players can pay a price to open stargates and start wars of invasion into the mortal realm.

"Introduction: During the process of civilization advancement in this world, intelligent machine life was unexpectedly born, thus triggering an intelligent machine crisis."

The Omnic War ended in a complete victory for the robots in just one year. The Multi-Touch Clan was subjected to the most stringent correction and protection measures by the Omnics, and in just over three hundred years, the clan had been completely reduced to "breeding pigs".

Within three hundred years, the civilization led by the AI ​​core successfully advanced to a Type I civilization and is actively attempting to utilize the energy of the entire star to continue its technological advancement.

Note 1: Astral Gates can be opened at any time, but it is not recommended to open them during times of war on Earth. However, administrators can manually choose the invasion time at any time. Note 2: Wars initiated by administrators will serve as your management rating criteria. After completely conquering a world, you will receive various generous rewards, which will become your path to growth.

Control the World: 2

(1. Auckland World)

(2. The World of Calter)

As Lin Ke gained access, he looked at row after row of information.

This is really a bit of a headache.

There's too much information, and it's too dense.

But in general, Lin Ke has now become the sole operations administrator for the real game.

As the operations administrator, he possessed what is known as level three access.

Within this scope of authority, Lin Ke received not only benefits but also 'obligations'.

However, these are not things that Lin Ke actually cares about.

What he cares about most is the actual situation between Dragon Island and the real game.

However, the information Lin Ke obtained, despite having only level three access, offered no explanation.

Therefore, is the level of confidentiality regarding the Dragon Clan beyond the scope of Level 3 authority?
Fortunately, with the explanation from the real game, Lin Ke finally understood.

In fact, the identity of the ancient dragon race is not particularly special or unique.

In countless worlds inhabited by demons, there are even more ancient species.

These ancient species, like the dragons, are high-energy life forms governed by the so-called Origin Law.

Life is governed by innate laws, possessing a higher starting point and a higher potential for growth.

Different worlds may possess ancient life forms with spatial abilities similar to Lin Ke.

At the same time, the game also mentioned that after he conquered different worlds, Linko could also extract the compatibility laws contained in these worlds to strengthen himself.

And ultimately, they will have the potential to become pillar gods and transcend.

This information truly broadened Lin Ke's horizons.

Therefore, in the context of a clash of civilizations, do the rules of the universe also encourage high-energy life forms to fight each other and grow rapidly to some extent?
Lin Ke frowned.

I felt like I was getting closer and closer to the truth of the world.

At the same time, I gradually came to realize the cruelty of the world.

It's a matter of life and death; civilization has no way out, neither gods nor mortals have a choice.

If you don't move forward, you'll drift backward.

Either sit idly by and wait to die, or rise up and forge ahead.

Now that Lin Ke has received so many resources to nurture him in the real game, and has even sat at the 'dining table', he has even less reason to hesitate.

"So, from now on, I'll have to actively manage the real game step by step?"

"Then, through the powerful 'tool' nature of real games, can one complete their path of growth and transcendence?"

"Heh, this is an unexpected path. So, this will be my first trial ground as an administrator? It's something to look forward to."

Lin Ke stood alone by the window, a slight smile playing on his lips.
