Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 67 The Death Player Mechanism: A Blessing in Disguise.

The gaming forum 'Chosen Ones'.

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "My game mode has really changed; the system has already notified me."

Insomnia and Rain: "Hmm? Could you explain in more detail?"

Human Sweet Treat: "Curiosity +1"

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "It's fine to talk about it, but don't you guys even play games? Shouldn't it be server opening time right now? I saw that Green Tea Bro said before that he would close the group after the server opened."

Insomnia and Rain: "It's alright, I don't need to descend with my consciousness for now. After all, the area I'm in isn't on the border, and there's no war, so it's relatively safe. It's just that my development might be relatively slow, but it's safe in the end."

Human Sweetie: "Haha, me too. I'm an elf, you know. I live in a big tree city in the heart of the Elf Empire. The elders here are very kind to us little elves. And the pace of life for elves is really slow. It feels like we're living a life of leisure. But recently, many elders in the city have been spreading rumors about the evils of humans on the streets. I guess they're preparing to mobilize the entire race for war."

Logical Genius: "Although I rarely go online, I have to say that you two ladies are really lucky at the start. I'm doing alright too, but there are too many sea creatures, tribes, clans, and kingdoms, so there are a lot of frictions. Although we don't usually fight big, there are quite a few small skirmishes. So, I still need to make careful preparations to get through the next simulation."

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "Ah, Logic Bro, you're also a member of the Sea Clan? Like Green Tea Bro?"

The logical genius said, "They are sea creatures, but I am different from that Tea Lord, and we should be very far apart. In short, I have never heard of any sea lizard race. But let's not talk about me. Tell me about your situation. I am also quite curious about what happened to you in the game of death."

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "Alright, since everyone wants to hear it, I'll explain in detail the system notifications I received after the server opened."

"First, the system informed me that due to the death of my real-world body, my consciousness has been temporarily taken over by a character in the game world."

"Although there is no real danger of death at the moment, if my character in the game dies again, I will inevitably face real death. Therefore, the game system specifically issued this warning to me. The general meaning is similar to what everyone thinks: the system is reminding me to be cautious about everything that follows."

"Another important change is the alteration of subsequent gameplay."

"I used to play as a lone wolf, so I will continue to play as a lone wolf. However, the difference between me and you is that I will not be able to log out of the game. Therefore, during the simulation days, my sense of time will be disconnected from real time. In other words, after each game server closes, I will truly have to rely on my own consciousness to control my body to get through all the simulation days. Therefore, during the simulation days, my consciousness will not fall into a deep sleep, nor will there be any AFK phenomenon. In short, it means that I must honestly rely on my own real actions and live through all the simulation days."

"To put it another way, when the game servers shut down in reality, at exactly midnight, all the simulations might have already been completed and game videos might already be available. But what about me? I naturally completed the simulations as well, but my simulations showed that I actually spent four hundred days."

"So, the problem arises that the moment the game shut down, I was no longer able to get any advice or help from you all in real life."

"Because I was completely disconnected from real time at that moment, during this period, when I sent messages in the group, everyone may have seen hundreds or thousands of messages that I sent in an instant. But in reality, those were my daily records of messages in the game. When my messages could be seen in the chat group, the simulation day had already completely ended, and my time flow in the game was synchronized with real time again."

"As for the daily settlement rewards, they are the same as everyone else's, but on top of the settlement rewards, the game will give me an extra 25% settlement rating as compensation."

Insomnia and Rain: "I see. In that case, Ah Cheng, you've actually turned misfortune into blessing, but the situation may become more complicated and troublesome."

Human Sweetie: "Huh? This is troublesome? How could that be? Being able to control your body in the game at any time is naturally much better than letting your character AFK! The survival rate will definitely increase significantly! Besides, the game gives an extra 25% bonus to the final score, this is just too awesome!"

Logical Genius: "Little Sweetie, your thinking is too simplistic. It does seem that controlling your own body will increase your survival rate, since players are definitely more flexible when facing unexpected situations."

"But the risks involved are also very high. First of all, players have to die in real life to get these benefits. Also, if you die in the game, you really die. It's all about high risk and high reward."

"Besides, if someone were to actually spend 400 days in a game, it wouldn't be so bad in human society, but the key is that this person is a skeleton. Isn't that worse than being locked in a dark room? Being in a highly stressful and dark environment for a long time, wouldn't that drive him crazy? Or even cause mental problems? So, Ah Cheng's situation might not be as good as you two think. It might even be better to let the game system handle it as an AFK."

"So, Insomnia and Rain actually guessed this, which is why they said it was troublesome, right?"

Insomnia and Rain: "Logic is right. It seems we didn't choose the wrong nickname. Being a monster for too long and unable to interact with people, I'm worried that you, Ah Cheng, will have mental problems, or even completely lose yourself in it one day."

Cheng Ge takes off: "Lost? Sister Yu, do you mean I'll become a real skeleton monster? From mind to body? (Nervous)"

Insomnia and Rain: "Ah Cheng, don't be nervous. This is just the worst-case scenario. After all, we don't know the specific operating mechanism of the game yet, so everything still depends on you."

"." Midway through the game, due to an accident, Lin Ke exited the Consciousness Descent with a mixture of joy and helplessness.

As a result, when I woke up I found it was already 1 p.m., so I immediately started preparing lunch and then continued playing the game.

Therefore, when he entered the kitchen to start preparing the dishes, he saw a lot of chat content in the group.

"Experience the real 400-day simulation day, or live as a skeleton?"

Lin Ke frowned as he chopped the green peppers.

"It's not just four hundred days, it's a full five hundred days!"

"Five hundred days of intense mental concentration, and you have to stay in a dark place full of dead bones at all times?"

Lin Ke felt a chill just thinking about it.

The insomnia, the rain, and the logical genius are all right.

If it were only 500 days, it wouldn't be so bad. The key is that as long as Ah Cheng doesn't die, he might stay in that hellish place for even longer until he has the strength to leave that land of death.

So, if someone stays in a place of death for several years or decades, even if they successfully leave that place, will they still be considered themselves?
After all, to become strong quickly, killing is inevitable in that kind of place, and this Ah Cheng himself was in charge of all the killing.

Therefore, after a long time, does he really still have normal human emotions? Or is he left with only the indifferent killing emotions of the dead?

Looking at the messages in the group, Lin Ke could only silently wish this person well.

Even though Lin Ke is now at the fifth level, he is still not confident that he can safely cross half the continent.

Therefore, Lin Ke is currently unable to help.

When it comes to his own in-game situation...

Lin Ke actually thinks he's doing alright.

Because he quit the game midway this time, although he failed to kill the fifth-tier flying eagle, just like the unicorn demon bear, he gained another contracted magical beast as a follower.

The speed at which the flying eagle slid down its knees was comparable to that of the previous unicorn demon bear.

As he chased the provocative one-horned demon bear, Link suddenly transformed into a giant dragon and charged out of the forest.

At that moment, upon seeing the appearance of the Lin Ke dragon, the eagle didn't even dare to flee. Instinctively, it trembled as it landed and cried out rapidly in submission.

Since they're so sensible, how can Lin Ke bring himself to kill them?

Furthermore, a fifth-tier rank is quite a decent combat strength, and he also happens to have an extra blood pact slot.

What kind of nonsense is this?!
Lin Ke chopped the vegetables with a bit of helplessness, then decided to finish making lunch as soon as possible, and then log on to get a suitable mid-level monster's essence.

This time, he wouldn't be soft-hearted anymore, after all, he had no more contract slots left.

Moreover, he only had three hours of game time left, leaving no room for hesitation.
