Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 4: 100-Day Offline Deduction
"He actually advanced a level directly? This upgrade system is pretty easy?"

"Or is it that such generous rewards only exist during the initial tutorial mission?"

"Having entered the third tier, the growth rate has reached 18%."

Lin Ke was pleasantly surprised by his character's breakthrough, and then immediately took the time to familiarize himself with the game's interface and various available features.

After fiddling with it for a while, he finally managed to get the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard back to its nest in the pool in the center of the swamp territory.

Meanwhile, Knight York had already returned to the border town of the Silver Lion Duchy.

As for Linko, he had already switched the focus of the scene to York.

After Link unlocked the family gameplay, although he could no longer directly control York, he could switch perspectives.

At this stage, the growth of the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard does not require Lin Ke to risk devouring other magical beasts.

After all, there is a low-level magic crystal vein just below the center of the swamp.

The magic crystal vein gave rise to a low-level magic well, which is sufficient for the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's growth at this stage.

With the new visual switching function, Link switched the game's visuals to those of the knight York.

In the darkness, the knight York found the horse that had been startled away when he arrived.

So, at this moment, he was enduring fatigue and pain as he rode his warhorse back to the border town by the light of the luminous stone.

"How enviable!"

"That magical beast was so lucky to become the representative of a great god."

"And the bloodline of a Saint-level dragon was obtained so easily."

"A Saint-level being~"

York rode his horse, his mind replaying everything that had happened.

He felt as if everything that had happened half an hour ago was a dream.

But I was also somewhat relieved that I had escaped danger and even gained the favor of the gods.

Of course, he envied everything the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard had achieved.

The upper limit for a low-level bloodline is the third level.

For example, York shares the same swift cheetah bloodline as the entire Smith family.

If one can fully mature and possess considerable potential, then the third tier is the maximum.

The limit for intermediate-level bloodlines is the sixth rank, and the limit for high-level bloodlines is the ninth rank.

And what about Saint-level bloodlines? Dragon bloodlines?

That's a bloodline capable of reaching the tenth rank!

The tenth rank is also known as the Saint rank!

Above the Saint rank is the God rank bloodline, with a limit of eleven ranks, also known as a demigod.

As for what happens after demigods?

This is something that York, a mere first-rank official knight, can only dream of.

Once a low-level bloodline reaches the third tier, the only way to increase its strength is to infuse it with a superior bloodline from its original bloodline.

But this process is incredibly difficult.

For example, if the bloodline of a low-rank Gale Cheetah is infused with the bloodline of a mid-rank high-rank Gale Black Panther, the success rate is less than 20% without the aid of magic potions and auxiliary rituals.

If they fail, they will die on the spot.

The process of progressing from a mid-level bloodline to a high-level bloodline is even more difficult.

In short, improving one's strength requires a lot.

Personal will, personal luck, physical potential, financial assistance, and so on are all indispensable.

Of course, there are exceptions.

However, this exception is limited to individuals who, at the very beginning of their extraordinary achievements, directly possess a high-level bloodline upon activation of their bloodline.

But are high-ranking bloodlines so easy to obtain?

Those who are born with mid-level or high-level bloodlines, which one of them doesn't have the bloodline legacy of their fathers and ancestors?
A minor nobleman wants to be promoted to a major nobleman?

The difficulty of this task is no less than ascending to heaven.

Not to mention, when someone breaks through to a higher level, there's the hostility from rival families, or even from those unwilling to see someone achieve a class leap and come to share what's already a large 'cake' with them. So, it's only natural that York envies the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard.

In this world, humans are inherently fragile and can only achieve extraordinary life by relying on the bloodline of magical beasts.

Warcraft, on the other hand, has no such concerns.

Because Warcraft is born with the ability to continuously grow, but most of them grow very slowly.

However, the advantage of magical beasts is that when they break through from the third to the fourth tier, and from the sixth to the seventh tier, their bloodline will automatically grow and evolve, activating their ancient bloodline.

Although the process is also dangerous, the success rate is much, much higher than that of humans whose bloodlines cannot evolve and can only be advanced by infusing high-level bloodlines.

As for dragons, they are a different kind of beings. They have long lifespans and grow much slower, but once they reach adulthood, they can all successfully grow to the Saint rank or even the Demigod rank.

However, in this era, dragons are already very rare, so rare that only a few empires can hear of them.

"I can't keep thinking like this."

Greed is the original sin; only those who know how to be content can find happiness and joy.

“I have already received enough benefits.”

"The benefits of having territory, possessing contracted magical beasts, and the upcoming title of nobility."

With this in mind, Knight York quickly calmed himself down and tried his best not to think about the gods and the giant rock dragon lizard.

Of course, he's not completely oblivious to these thoughts.

He was still considering how much he would need to spend on recruiting subjects and building his territory.

At the same time, he was also secretly calculating how much support he could gain from Gale Territory.

While the knight York was riding back, he was unaware that outside the computer screen, Link was listening to his thoughts and marveling at them.

"After switching perspectives, I can even hear the knight's inner thoughts?"

"That's a great move!"

The computer speakers continuously played the whispered thoughts of Knight York.

The Heart Voice is a genuine human language; in fact, Lin Ke was able to automatically understand the language of Knight York when he was in a particular scenario, thus enabling barrier-free communication.

From this perspective, the game is indeed convenient to play.

Thus, Lin Ke quickly enjoyed eight hours of play, almost like a spy.

He seemed to enjoy it immensely, switching his gaze back and forth between the rock dragon giant lizard and the knight York.

At the same time, they are also checking if there are any hidden easter eggs in the game's various functions.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen.

However, now that he has played the game for eight hours...

Suddenly, the entire game screen froze again.

And suddenly a large number of subtitles popped up.

[The player has been online for eight hours, reaching the daily time limit during the game's beta testing period. The player is now being forcibly logged out of the game.]

(Game beta test rules: Servers will open at 08:00 daily and close at 24:00 daily. Players are advised to allocate their game time accordingly.)
[Reminder: 1. After you log off, your character and related characters will automatically advance the game's timeline according to the storyline.]

[Reminder: 2. The current time ratio between the real world and the actual game is 1:100. After the player logs off, the game's background timeline will automatically recalculate at midnight the following day, meaning one day in reality equals one hundred days in the game world.]

(Time is based on 00:00 in the Eastern Continent; each time zone should calculate its own time accordingly.)
(While players are online, in-game time flows in sync with real-world time.)
[Reminder: 3. Players can set behavioral guidelines for their characters before logging off.]

(Behavioral guidelines can be set: conservative or radical)

(Please select the code of conduct for your role. Countdown 00:00:29)

Does this even need further consideration?

Of course, choose the conservative option!
After all, this is only the beginning of the game, and third-tier monsters are no match for it.

If his character dies during the game, Lin Ke has no idea what will happen next.

Starting over?

No, at least Lin Ke didn't see any prompt in the game saying that the game could be restarted.

Therefore, in the worst-case scenario, if the character he plays dies and he is disqualified from the game, then Lin Ke will have gained nothing at all.

Therefore, a conservative approach to AFK farming is absolutely necessary.
