Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 58: Four Days of Games, Rewards Achieved (Please Read On and Vote!)

At 8 a.m., the alarm clock rang.

Lin Ke rolled over and quickly got out of bed, then rushed into the bathroom.

Brushing teeth and washing face, smelly, then immediately running downstairs.

Upon arriving at the breakfast shop, he quickly bought two steamed buns, a snowflake cake, and a cup of soy milk.

He then bought half a pound of fresh pork, some green peppers, and a little bok choy from the small vegetable shop next door, to prepare for lunch and slightly improve his diet.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and strode back to the community, entered the building and took the elevator. The whole process was completed in just half an hour.

Sitting down at his computer desk again, Lin Ke quickly turned on his computer while munching on a steamed bun.

"Thankfully, it's only 8:33."

Lin Ke raised an eyebrow and then quickly clicked on the logo icon of the real game.

The black background quickly filled Lin Ke's entire computer screen, and at the same time, the familiar opening subtitles appeared.

[Congratulations to all players in the first round of closed beta testing for successfully achieving the hidden mission condition (normal): After three days of simulation, the total number of players must be no less than 3,500 (currently there are 5,864 players online)]

All players will receive a low-tier item as a random reward.

[Item Distribution: Extreme Freeze Ring - Low Tier]

(Extreme Freeze Ring: Instant cast, a low-tier spell item of excellent quality. With sufficient mana, it can fire three extreme freeze rays each time. The power depends on the concentration of the caster's mana. The maximum power is limited to the third tier. It has been placed in the item inventory.)

Hidden mission?

Is it based on the total number of online players?
Is the evaluation just average?

So how many players will remain if the game is so good?
Lin Ke was somewhat taken aback when he saw the first round of subtitles displayed in the game.

But I imagine the next level higher rating for this hidden quest should require more than five thousand players, considering there are still over five thousand eight hundred players online right now.

Low-level items?

It's alright, having something is better than having nothing. Having an extra item can significantly improve the self-protection capabilities of players who are generally low-level.

There are always lucky people, just like Lin Ke himself.

High-quality magical artifacts, excellent!
Lin Ke is in a great mood.

After all, it was a great start.

Then, he clicked on the computer screen again.

New subtitles appeared, and this time the subtitles contained his rating from the third day's analysis.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the third simulation (400 days) for their chosen role and faction. Rating: Excellent (Grade A). Received a random mid-tier item reward from the targeted gameplay category.]

[Item Distribution: Alchemy Doll - Intermediate Physique]

(Alchemy Doll - Intermediate Physique: As a decent alchemy item, this alchemy doll possesses the physique of a fourth-tier extraordinary power. Although it lacks any bloodline magic power, it has the ability to change its appearance at will and possesses rudimentary intelligence. It also has high resistance to various spells and a respectable martial skill. Swamp Territory faction exclusive, player has the highest authority, and it has been placed in the item inventory.)
"???"

Is that what constitutes an excellent rating?

Lin Ke was somewhat disappointed.

But thinking about it carefully, my simulation day did seem to go quite smoothly this time.

Although it appeared to be fraught with danger, the Swamp Territory was not actually impacted, and no war broke out.

As for the rock-steel dragon that plays the role.

Indeed, it seems that he has subdued many magical beasts and even possesses a large territory of magical beasts.

But such gains are ultimately temporary.

Because if a mid-level magical beast comes down from the Magical Beast Mountain Range, as long as the Rock Steel Dragon doesn't interfere, many of the magical beasts he previously subdued might surrender in the blink of an eye.

Without the bond of blood pact, these magical beasts, relying solely on their own limited intelligence and loyalty, are nothing more than opportunists.

That was the only way Lin Ke could console himself.

There's nothing I can do; the game's rating is only "Excellent."

"Only excellent? Grade A?"

"It's alright. At least this alchemical puppet is mid-tier. Although it's fourth-tier, it's still very useful in the current swamp territory." Lin Ke tried to calm himself down and then immediately clicked the screen again.

The next moment, the subtitles continued.

[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing a great conquest of the wilderness beasts, and with the Dragon Lord's declaration, you have received two rewards.]

Conquer hundreds of low-level magical beasts and tens of thousands of unranked magical beasts to receive an exclusive role-playing reward (optional)

(One item (intermediate level), one designated magic crystal ore quality upgrade (intermediate level), one rare magic plant seed (intermediate level))

[The conquest process involves a series of minor battles, granting a 25% bonus to your current growth rate, which can be claimed upon entering the game.]

???

Seeing this sudden scene, Lin Ke instantly felt better!
The game system actually made the Monster Conquest event with the Rock Steel Dragon a separate reward?
Not only are there optional rewards, but there's even a growth system?

Lin Ke immediately perked up.

Look at the options.

Items? Who would complain about not having enough mid-tier items?

Ultimately, Lin Ke's desire for the item wasn't high, since it was only mid-tier, so he kept the option open for now.

As for improving the quality of magic crystal ore.

To be honest, Lin Ke wasn't really interested when he saw this.

However, considering that the wasteland area almost entirely only has low-level magic crystal mines, he still needed to be cautious.

After all, even if one's improvement does not depend on traditional magic crystal power, magic crystal ore is a strategic resource.

For example, if the Rock Steel Dragon enters a high-intensity battle and needs to quickly replenish its magic power, it still needs to consume magic crystals.

Not to mention that Lin Ke also has to consider the development of the swamp territory.

Therefore, Lin Ke then turned his attention to the rare magical plant option.

Magic Plant Seeds?

Rare magical plants are excellent ingredients for some magical potions, and even magical beasts can enhance their strength by consuming just magical plants.

However, cultivating magical plants takes time, and often a very long time.

So, to be honest, I'm not considering Lin Ke at all.

If it weren't for the seeds, Lin Ke might have been interested.

Lin Ke pondered this matter repeatedly.

Ultimately, they chose to improve the quality of the magic crystal ore.

[Players have confirmed that the reward is an upgrade to the quality of a specific magic crystal ore. Players can specify the magic crystal ore they wish to upgrade after entering the game.]

After making his selection, Lin Ke's mood immediately brightened.

To be honest, Lin Ke was more looking forward to the 25% growth rate than the Magic Crystal Ore reward.

Although the rewards this time may not have increased much in terms of growth because the difficulty of combat has been reduced when the character enters the mid-tier.

But it's just enough for the Rock Dragon to advance to the fifth tier!

Advance one rank with each game!
Is this something other players would dare to think of?

This is practically cheating!
But ultimately it's because of Lin Ke's gameplay and his excellent start.

Without the first monster battle in the Swamp Territory, the Rock Dragon would never have been able to advance to the intermediate rank so quickly.

If one cannot reach the intermediate level, relying solely on four hundred days, or even the strength of the third level, it would be impossible to successfully subdue so many magical beasts.

This is like a snowball rolling downhill.

Once this snowball starts rolling, there will inevitably be a chain reaction.

That's how you get ahead in every step!
Fifth tier! Fifth tier, it's here!
