Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 29 Golden Legend Bloodline Potion

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the second simulation (300 days) with their chosen role and faction. Rating: Perfect (Grade C). Received a mid-tier item reward in the targeted gameplay category.]

[Item Distribution: Clan Banner - Mid-Tier Defense]

(Family Banner - Intermediate Defense: As a family, you have your own family totem emblem, and naturally you also need your own family totem banner. It is an item for the family head only, limited to the swamp territory, and players have the highest authority over it; it has been placed in the item slot.)

(Function: Hang the flag high at the highest point of the building within the family territory. The flag will then absorb and store magic power on its own. It is estimated that it will be able to store enough magic power every 150 natural days. When the family flag is at full strength, it can deploy a defensive barrier with a diameter of 500 meters. This defensive barrier can withstand a full-force attack from a high-level being beyond the limit (7th tier). As the enemy's tier decreases, the power impact that can be defended and the time it takes to withstand it increase.)
(Restrictions: Once the family flag is activated, the barrier cannot be dispelled midway. During wartime, the flag will automatically remove the barrier when its magic power is exhausted. During non-wartime, the barrier can be maintained for a maximum of seven days, with a fixed magic power consumption of 50%. Other functions and upgrade requirements for the family flag will be randomly unlocked in subsequent gameplay.)
"Withdrawal???!!!"

During a period when the highest tier for all players in the game was only Tier 3, Lin Ke actually obtained a mid-tier item!
Moreover, this mid-tier item is extremely powerful, even capable of withstanding a full-force attack from a high-tier being!
Even though it can only withstand a full-force attack from a seventh-tier enemy, it's still incredibly overpowered!

It should be noted that in the Western Territory, among all the known information in the entire Silver Lion Duchy, only the Duke and the Old Lion are high-level beings, even though they are only eighth-level beings!

However, the 'small' swamp territory at present is unlikely to rebel, so naturally there is no conflict with the old lion.

This means that as long as the Swamp Territory plants this flag, it can almost be considered to be able to withstand most of the dangers on the surface of the Western Territory.

Even the potential small monster horde from the Monster Mountain Range that might emerge next has enough power to protect itself!

"This is awful! Defense!!! Why isn't it an attack?"

If this family banner had offensive capabilities, and could even unleash a supernatural power comparable to a seventh-tier being, then its nature would change again!

Lin Ke quickly calmed himself down.

He exclaimed that one should not be too greedy, and that having such a prop was already very good. At least for now, the rock dragon giant lizard he was playing, and even the swamp lord, had gained another powerful means of self-protection.

This is extremely important for subsequent deductions.

But Lin Ke also knew that this prop should never be allowed to be revealed by York unless absolutely necessary.

Otherwise, York would be unable to reasonably explain its origins, and might even attract unwanted attention from the outside world.

Sitting in front of the computer, Lin Ke calmed himself down a bit and started muttering to himself.

"This update actually added an evaluation system for simulation days?"

"Perfect Grade C? So there are also Perfect Grade B, and even Perfect Grade A evaluations?"

"This beast tide wasn't even a big problem, yet it can be called perfect?"

Lin Ke carefully recalled the battle against the beast tide that he had previously simulated.

There were indeed risks involved. If those second-tier berserk porcupines had joined other magical beasts in attacking York's castle, they could have caused considerable casualties in the swamp territory.

Moreover, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard didn't get involved at first, which is probably why its rating was raised to a certain extent.
After all, Lin Ke's strategy is to cultivate the power of his family.

This battle also showcases the family's capabilities. If the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard, acting as the representative of the Forest Clan, had made its move from the beginning, its evaluation would likely have been very low.

As for the final scene involving the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard, it occurred almost after the war had ended, so it shouldn't affect the overall assessment.

In fact, the fact that the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard, in cooperation with York, completely eliminated the three invading Rank 1 magical beasts and even subdued a Rank 2 Forest Wolf might have inadvertently improved its reputation.

Of course, all of this is just Lin Ke's reasonable speculation. He doesn't know exactly how this evaluation was made, but he imagines it should be pretty accurate.

Otherwise, Lin Ke wouldn't know how this perfect evaluation came about.

Lin Ke didn't dwell on this too much.

And that's not the only reward. The splash screen's subtitles changed again, revealing new hints and rewards!
[Congratulations to the player for achieving a perfect victory in their first small-scale territory battle! You have gained +150% to your current growth rate. You can claim this bonus upon entering the game. Countdown to claim: 01:00.]

Did you gain experience?

Or 150%?

Lin Ke was overjoyed, because this meant that his Rock Dragon Giant Lizard would officially enter the fourth tier, or the so-called mid-tier magical beast, after he entered the game.

It's only been two days since the server opened! Although it feels like more than a year has passed (in the game, it really does).

War is indeed a catalyst for the rapid development of civilization.

But that's not all, because the reward subtitles are still being generated, one character at a time.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully taming a low-tier magical beast in the automatic simulation for the first time, and for receiving a random extraordinary bloodline reward (low-tier)]

[The extraordinary bloodline reward has been distributed: Fiery Sand Scorpion (Low-Tier)]

(Flaming Sand Scorpion - Low-Tier: Originating from the bloodline of a low-tier desert magical beast, with an affinity for fire; currently placed in the player's inventory as a bloodline potion. The player character can drink it and integrate it into their own bloodline, or it can be given as a reward to mortals in the game. Mortals who have not yet awakened their bloodline can perfectly activate their extraordinary bloodline and advance to the first tier by drinking this bloodline potion, regardless of the risks. Those who have already awakened their bloodline can replace their bloodline. Warning: No mortal can possess two extraordinary bloodlines simultaneously, except for player characters. Also note that this bloodline can only be used by mortals who are adults and 16 years old.)
"Hmm? Bloodline potion?"

Lin Ke looked at the reward.

Compared to the evaluation rewards and growth rewards we just received, this is practically nothing, but every little bit helps, right?
Should the rock dragon monitor lizard drink it?
In Lin Ke's current understanding, a low-level bloodline simply means giving the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard one or two more low-level skills.

But it's a different story if the mortals of the swamp territory who haven't yet reached the next level drink it.

This would immediately give the Swamp Territory an additional rank-entry user on the surface. Furthermore, if Linko were to use this bloodline on York's direct descendants, he might be able to obtain the bloodline to be reintegrated into the Swamp Giant Lizard's body through the family's reverse benefit buff.

In that case, it can be considered as getting two fish for one.

I just don't know if this kind of bug-exploiting behavior will actually work.

Moreover, if Linko wants to have his cake and eat it too, according to the current time standard, he would have to play this game for at least another 19 days before he can do so, and he has to wait until York's child comes of age.

Lin Ke obviously can't wait.

Nineteen days? Who knows if he'll still be able to play this game after nineteen days? And by then, he might not even need the power of this mere low-level bloodline anymore.

Therefore, Lin Ke hasn't figured out how to use this bloodline potion yet.

Therefore, Lin Ke plans to keep it for the time being.

After all, it's better to give York the skill rather than simply giving him one or two more low-level skills, and then let York train his subordinates.

But considering how difficult it was to obtain this prop.

What if the game updates again someday and this bloodline potion can be brought back to reality?
Even if Lin Ke doesn't use it himself, it can still bring him immense wealth.

Lin Ke's lack of greed for money does not mean he doesn't want to have extra money in his hands.

Therefore, Lin Ke does not intend to use this bloodline potion easily for the time being, unless he comes across something better.

Just as Lin Ke was rapidly considering the uses of this bloodline potion, the dark mist in the background of the computer screen gradually dissipated.

What came into view again was the view overlooking the area near the Baron's castle in the Swamp Territory.
