Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 212 Map Test, Players Enter

"Fifty-two years have passed in the game world! That's five years on Earth."

"I wonder when the Chief will break through to the Mythical rank."

In the astral realm, in a certain divine kingdom.

Six deities were gathered inside, and these so-called six deities were sitting together eating 'hot pot'.

A table, six gods, some of whom were even dressed in short sleeves and flip-flops.

This scene is unique in mainland Auckland.

"The chief's fusion body is, after all, an ancient dragon species. According to the real game, the breakthrough of such ancient species becomes more and more difficult."

"Generally speaking, it's not that breakthroughs are harder, but rather that the growth cycle is very long. After all, according to the actual game, ancient beings seem to have no growth bottlenecks."

Player Little Cookie said to the people around her while picking up a piece of beef and eating it.

“There is no growth bottleneck, which is actually a bottleneck, since the growth cycle is too long. I used my authority to ask about it before. According to the real game, the Chief, as an ancient species, will become more and more sleepy. The general idea is that he will meditate to absorb energy. The better he sleeps, the faster he will grow!” Logic Genius said in the meantime.

"Heh, the chief must have really good sleep quality. He'll probably sleep for hundreds or even thousands of years. That's enough time for several generations to be replaced on Earth," Mingyue teased with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, we've all become gods, the one thing we have plenty of now is time."

"As long as Brother Night Owl grows rapidly, our wonderful life will be secured."

Cheng Ge had previously used war points to revive his physical body, and has even ascended to godhood. He has been in a very good mood ever since.

Therefore, He was actually indifferent to the fact that Lin Ke was in a deep slumber.

"That's true, but don't forget that Auckland also faces the risk of black flames."

"Now, the twenty-odd native gods who have been resurrected are quite nervous. They haven't had a moment's rest since their resurrection, and have been gathering together to study powers similar to spatial barriers."

The player 'Ordinary Person' said with a slightly serious expression.

"Instead of spending time studying these things, we should spend more time looking for new worlds."

"After all, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. In the current situation, we can't always rely on the power of real games to expand our territory."

"If we can't compete in quality, we can increase quantity. After all, although we can't obtain the power of the dragon race right now, we can at least hope that the chief can bring out more god-level dragons."

"To achieve this, we must first have enough magical environments so that we can raise a large number of divine dragons."

"Furthermore, the dragon race will not consume the divine quota of Mana's will, so it is a win-win situation for both us and the gods of the other two worlds."

The logic genius took a sip of his drink and began to analyze the situation seriously.

"This is indeed a direction for development, but astral exploration is not something that can be accomplished overnight."

"Without the help of real games, it's hard to say whether we could successfully build a world that leads to unknown star regions over thousands of years."

"Don't forget, the fact that Green Saturn opened up the path for Blue Star was itself full of chance."

"That star path was discovered by the insectoid gods after thousands of years of exploration and the application of prophetic laws. With our current strength, if we forcibly enter the subspace to explore, not to mention the risk of getting lost, we might even open a blind box and find a more advanced civilization, which could lead to another Black Flame Crisis. That would be the end of us."

Player 'Ordinary Person' stretched and lay back with his legs crossed.

"No one can predict such things. After all, even if we don't take the initiative, according to the description of the real game, the rules of civilization conflict in the entire universe will only become more and more intense in the future."

"Who knows, maybe one day a wild star path will suddenly crack open in the mortal world. In any case, let's wait for the chief to wake up first."

"The chief has high management authority. Without his approval, we can only stare blankly at the icon of the 'developable' new map now."

"."

The group sat around the hot pot table, chatting casually, enjoying themselves immensely.

And given their current situation, they certainly have the right to be comfortable.

In the early stages of the battle, they had at least weathered the most difficult period.

Even if players can be resurrected, the various forms of death and suffering they endure each time are not something most people can withstand.

According to post-war statistics, under normal circumstances, ordinary players would not be able to withstand the mental strain after dying three to five times.

Even the more resilient ones, who can endure more than ten times, tend to suffer a mental breakdown.

Not to mention, the insectoids are aware of this situation with the players, so during this period, in order to reduce trouble from the players, those players who are captured by the insectoids will be tortured by them, which will also deter many players from going to the battlefield again.

In this way, during the Green Earth battle, even just considering the five of them, including Cheng Ge and the others, which one of them didn't die dozens of times?
Cheng Ge's willpower to take off is undeniable.

Despite his usual carefree attitude, he still suffered a lot after becoming a skeleton.

Once on the battlefield, especially after learning that points could revive his physical body, his eyes turned red with envy.

Therefore, no matter how he was supposed to die, he persevered time and time again.

The players in the Chosen Ones group also kept encouraging and cheering each other on.

So they persevered along the way.

Currently, there are six people who have become gods.

Besides the player 'Masked Monk', there were only these five people.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see from this that the Chosen Ones are indeed very lucky.

Just as the group was leisurely enjoying their hot pot, suddenly, at the same time, everyone froze, and even the things they were doing stopped.

The five people stared blankly at each other, then simultaneously revealed expressions of surprise.

"Goodness, we were just talking about the chief, and here he is."

"And it was a big one."

The logical genius smiled slightly.

"The chief is really never idle. Judging from this, he must have already started preparing for the new map right after breaking through."

The ordinary man pondered, "After all, time waits for no one. Who knows when the 'Sword of Damocles' of the Oakland Astral Plane will fall? That's how it should be."

"Now that the Chief has awakened, we must make sure that when he falls asleep next time, he relinquishes the authority to open new maps in the real game."

"That way, even if the CEO isn't here, we can still continue to explore new worlds, right?"

He nodded, unable to see the bright moon.
"The permission to open up new maps does need to be mentioned, but ultimately we should follow the chief's decision."

"After all, if we run into trouble, we'll ultimately have to rely on the chief to bail us out."

Cheng Ge nodded as he took off, excitedly saying:
"That's true, but let's not worry about that for now."

"This new map is about an interstellar civilization. It looks quite interesting. Let's go check it out!"

"Let's take this opportunity to experience what it's like to be a space citizen."

After a short while, the five of them discussed everything and then parted ways.

As deities, the five each possess their own divine kingdoms. Therefore, upon confirming their intention to enter another world to investigate, they naturally chose to leave their divine bodies within their respective kingdoms.

Although as deities, they even possess the authority to manage real games, it is not difficult for them to multitask with their consciousness and spirituality. However, they will inevitably be distracted while playing games. Therefore, to prevent any potential risks, it is naturally safest for their divine bodies to remain in their respective divine kingdoms.

And just as the five returned to their respective divine kingdoms.

In the real game, almost all three million existing players received a server-wide announcement notification from the real game at the same time.

【Kind tips!】

The new game map 'Intelligent Civilization' has been completed. To meet the long-awaited expectations of both new and veteran players, the first phase of testing for this new map will soon be open to all online players.

[Test Instructions: In this test, all players will receive a new random identity in the new world, and all will need to directly descend into this new world. Please ensure your physical body and the role you are playing are properly secured before entering the new map for the test.]

[Main Quest: In this test, all players share a common main quest: to gather all information about the new world.]

(Everything a player hears or enters in different locations during the game will be considered part of the intelligence gathering process.)
[Testing period: 100 days.]

"."

The moment the announcement resounded throughout the entire player community, three million players went crazy!
"Damn it!!! Fifty-two years!!!"

"The new map is finally open!"

A player, who was lazily basking in the sun, immediately stood up in surprise upon hearing the system voice.

Meanwhile, the gaming forums were in an uproar.

"Five years! More than five years have passed in real life, and the real game has finally opened a new map. This is such a long time coming!"

"You know what, if it weren't for that sudden mental notification from the game, I would have almost forgotten that I was playing a game."

"Huh? You forgot to play the game? What kind of situation is this? There's a game every ten days, and a hundred-day simulation, and you still forgot to play the game?"

"Is the person upstairs a newbie player? But they shouldn't be so ignorant, right? Are you out of touch with the internet? Don't you know that fifty-two years have already passed in the game world? Players above the Saint rank don't need any hundred-day simulations anymore."

"Let alone the 100-day simulation, players at the Saint rank and above can fuse their physical bodies with their character roles and coexist simultaneously. Do you know what a fusion body is?"

"Sorry, I was in a vegetative state for many years due to a car accident. I only woke up a few days ago and managed to snag a player qualification, so I don't know anything about these things. Please forgive me, experts."

"???!!!"

"Even someone in a vegetative state can snag one of the only around a thousand mobile player slots available each round. That's incredible luck, bro, you're in luck."

"Seriously, why did the announcement for the real-life game suddenly change its tune this time?"

"A new map being developed? If it's a war of civilizations, then it's a war of civilizations. Why are you being so vague about the early reconnaissance missions?"

"Tsk, you know what, remember the previous two war recruitment missions? In the real game, they were both very straightforward. Why are they testing a new map this time?"

"Could it be that this newly discovered civilization is not suitable to exist as a 'game map'? Is that why there's this testing?"

"Don't even mention it, you really shouldn't. Take a good look at the details of the other world in the announcement. It's a technological civilization without magic. Do you think it's possible for a new player to be on this map?"

"We can't all advance to silicon-based life forms, can we? So this map is clearly a transitional one. After all, the technology is quite good, and both Earth and the Star Empire seem to need it right now."

"."

The player forum was lively, but the excitement quickly faded.

Because quick-acting players have already started their second gaming life immediately.

Therefore, in less than half an hour, the game forums became unusually quiet as no new posts appeared.

Meanwhile, news that the real game had reopened a new map after more than five years also spread across the internet immediately.

And so, at this very moment, nearly 10 billion people on Earth once again began to watch the official movements of the real game with expectant eyes.

have nothing to say.

Everyone is waiting for the real game to issue new game qualifications.

Unfortunately, for now, the ordinary people of Earth will be disappointed.

After all, the current Omnic Star is indeed not suitable as a player map, so in a sense, this civilization can only serve as nourishment for the Star Empire or even the Blue Star civilization.

——————.

A few days later.

On the main planet of the AI ​​machine, in the surface layer where the AI ​​almost completely neglects its duties.

In a certain area in the south, a fierce battle is underway.

"Damn it!!! Brothers, charge! Take the floating city!"

"We also have the right to live with dignity; we are not trash!!!"

In mid-air, a large number of 'octopuses' controlled the aircraft to continuously bombard the giant pillars and killing machines above the city.

At the same time, some octopuses covered in steel exoskeletons surged onto the giant pillar like a tide.

While they were firing their guns at the countless killing machines swarming in from the 'sky,' they were also simultaneously bombarding a garbage disposal site at the very bottom of the floating city!

The battle was incredibly fierce.

The number of octopuses participating in this battle exceeded one hundred thousand, but compared to the floating city, this number of octopuses was like an egg hitting a rock.

In fact, the AI's AI is already used to this kind of scene and doesn't even waste any computing power paying attention to such small-scale ground resistance.

Unfortunately, the AI ​​underestimated this 'war' to some extent.

Because, in this small-scale battle, the killing machines that were originally protecting the lower city suddenly stopped operating at a certain moment.

Then, at some point, all of these killing machines suddenly reversed course and surged towards the garbage dump above the lower city.

Seeing this, the octopuses in the midst of the war were overjoyed.

"The deputy leader succeeded!!! She really hacked into the city's defense system!"

"Quickly!!! Everyone, get through the courtyard quickly! Today, we're going to experience what it's like to be a proper citizen!"

"Charge! Slaughter all those despicable parasites, overthrow the AI's rule, and the world will belong to all of us, the 'Octepes' race."
