Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 93 Second Elite Player, Contract Player 'Acheng' (33)

For Lin Ke now, the eight hours of gaming he plays every day are no longer important.

After all, since consciousness has already descended on the simulation day, the eight hours of normal game server opening are really not that important.

However, for players who play the game normally, these eight hours are the real golden time, and not a single second can be wasted.

Even regular players rely entirely on the rewards derived from the eight hours of gameplay to progress through the game.

It's easy to imagine how much worse the situation is for ordinary players compared to cheaters.

Of course, besides Lin Ke's chief privilege, there is another way to become a cheater: commit suicide in real life!

But are there really people who are this extreme?
Lin Ke estimates that even if someone did commit suicide, they certainly wouldn't do so easily.

After all, even if you're going to commit suicide, you still need to maximize your benefits, right?

For example, wouldn't those ambitious players cause some chaos in real life? Otherwise, wouldn't their deaths have been in vain?
However, Lin Ke did not underestimate the current trends in gaming.

Because, just as Lin Ke had predicted, happened.

When Link dismissed York and his group and began to familiarize himself with his spatial powers, it was the fifth hour of the game.

Suddenly, a game message appeared in his mind.

[Congratulations to the ten players who successfully qualified for the second-place elite player position in the first round of closed beta testing!]

[All players who participated in the first round of closed beta testing will receive a reward: an additional 10% base score in the next day's deduction evaluation.]

[The second-place slots are full. The number of regular elite players is now announced as follows: 100.]

[The first round of elite player slots will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. It will also be announced that players in the second round will receive badges and titles of equal value.]

[The effect of the elite title badge for second-round players will be lower than that for first-round players. Also, once the maximum number of elite players is reached in the second round, the badge titles of the first-round elite players will be upgraded to the next level. Upgraded title preview: Pioneer Player]

[Pioneer Player: The epic begins with those who bravely overcome all obstacles; let all players strive together.]

When Lin Ke saw this sudden announcement, the entire Dragon was stunned.

However, Lin Ke quickly came to his senses.

At the same time, Lin Ke immediately exited the game.

In his familiar bedroom, in front of his computer desk, Lin Ke woke up and immediately moved the small pillow off the keyboard.

Right now, the announcement for this round is being displayed on the computer screen.

Upon seeing this announcement, Lin Ke fell into deep thought.

First, Lin Ke thought about the specific circumstances under which he received the title.

It can be known that there are now ten other Tier 4 players in the game besides him.

Tier 4 player?

If Lin Ke remembers correctly, before "Brother Cheng took off," he predicted that he would be at the fourth rank in the future, right?

Given his situation, did he also earn the title of second-best player?
This person didn't mention it in the last group chat, but I'm sure they did.

Even if the other person dies in real life, their character in the game still exists, and the title still provides an effect in the game!
Therefore, it is impossible not to award it to this person.

Although Lin Ke didn't know how much weaker the title of second-ranked elite player was compared to his own as the chief.

However, compared to other players, it is a major advantage.

And this person is clearly now considered a member of the Countermeasures Bureau.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Lin Ke has never minded lending a helping hand to this Brother Cheng.

It's just that the time hasn't come yet.

Therefore, taking advantage of the time available for the announcement, Lin Ke remembered this matter.

Compared to sending church members to gather information without any clear purpose, that is far more difficult.

But after gaining the ability to travel through space.

Lin Ke suddenly had an idea.

I just don't know if this idea will work.

Lin Ke hadn't forgotten a certain item that had been gathering dust in his inventory.

Yes.

It is precisely a master-servant contract.

However, the description of this prop is somewhat vague.

It only says that it can be used on real-world entities, but it doesn't say whether it can be used on players whose consciousness has entered the game.

And how do you give this prop to the other party?

Forum trading function?

Definitely not.

Because this thing cannot be dropped or moved.

Transactions are definitely included in this.

However, the players' situation cannot be judged by common sense.

So, the next moment, Lin Ke felt it was necessary to give it a try.

Whether it succeeds or not, I've done what I wanted to do and was able to do.

Therefore, Lin Ke casually took out the contract scroll and opened the game forum.

At the same time, we quickly found Cheng Ge's ID.

Upon opening the ID, Lin Ke immediately initiated a private chat without any hesitation.

Night Owl: "Cheng, is now a convenient time?"

Cheng Ge took off: "Huh??!!! Chief Brother??? Yes! Absolutely! I have plenty of time now! How come you have time to contact me? I'm truly flattered! Just tell me what you need, and I'll do whatever I can to help, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Night Owl: "It's not that exaggerated. The sudden announcement just reminded me of you, and since I had the chance and time, I thought I'd ask you about it." Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "Hmm? Is it about the second-place title? I got it, but I didn't want to mention it in the group before, so..."

Goodness, this guy is really direct; I didn't even ask him anything.

However, considering his personality in the group chat, it's not surprising.

Lin Ke then smiled.

That's fine too. Compared to dealing with scheming people, Lin Ke prefers to associate with straightforward and honest people like this.

Night Owl: "I guessed that, but I'm not asking about that. Don't rush, just listen to me."

Night Owl: "Here's the thing, I have an opportunity that can help you out of your current predicament, but I don't know if it will work, so I'd like to ask for your opinion."

Night Owl: "Now, I have a master-servant contract item, similar to the function of contracting a magical pet in a game. If you agree to form a contract with me, then I am 100% confident that I can directly solve your current predicament."

Night Owl: "But have you thought this through? This is a master-servant contract. Although I won't do anything to you, you need to be aware of the potential dangers. I won't force you into this, so I just want to ask for your opinion. If you disagree, then I'll help you think of another way. If..."

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "!!!!!!!!! I agree!!! I agree!!! Chief Brother! No!!! Godfather, Godfather, save me!!! Save me!!!! I never want to stay in this godforsaken place again!!!"

Lin Ke hadn't even finished typing, and this guy had already agreed?!
This surprised Lin Ke for a moment.

Well, that certainly fits this guy's personality.

However, Lin Ke thought that this guy might already be a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, so he wanted to ask him if he hadn't made up his mind yet, he could ask Insomnia and Rain for their opinions.

But before Lin Ke could type anything else...

The next moment, the contract scroll on Lin Ke's computer desktop lit up.

At the same time, a piece of information suddenly appeared in Lin Ke's mind.

[Is it confirmed that the contracted player 'Cheng Ge Takes Off' will be the master?]

[Confirm] OR [Denounce]

At the same time, inside the Great Tomb in the game, the soul fire in one of the skull's eye sockets suddenly lit up.

[Is it confirmed that the player 'Night Owl' will be contracted as a servant?]

[Confirm] OR [Denounce]

At this moment, in different worlds and different locations, similar information suddenly appeared simultaneously in the minds of Lin Ke and the player 'Li Chengli'.

Lin Ke naturally had no reason to disagree.

But they were taken aback by the strange move of the contract scroll.

Lin Ke had originally thought that if this Ah Cheng agreed, he would try to use the transaction function to send the message over.

And then what happened? What happened?

So it turns out that you don't need to give the scroll to the other party?

And your judgment criteria are too humane and intelligent, aren't they?

Lin Ke was somewhat taken aback.

Just as Lin Ke was taken aback, his mind was once again alerted by information.

Player 'Chengge Takes Flight' agrees to become your contracted servant.

[Note: Because this player cannot return to reality, the effects of your blood pact will currently be limited to the character whose consciousness has descended upon them. This will also occupy one of your character's pact slots. Please choose carefully.]

Good guy.

They just used up another blood pact slot that I worked so hard to get!
Lin Ke felt somewhat helpless, but upon reflection, he realized there was nothing he would be reluctant to part with.

After all, Lin Ke is leveling up quite rapidly now, so having another sixth-tier magical pet wouldn't seem to make much difference.

In addition, according to this Ah Cheng, the situation in the Land of the Dead has been somewhat unusual recently.

Furthermore, the information released by the countermeasures bureau also confirmed this situation.

Therefore, Lin Ke was able to take this opportunity to personally go and see for himself, or even investigate, which was not bad.

At the same time, Lin Ke doesn't seem to be losing out by contracting a second-ranked player character.

At least they're fourth-tier, and they're fellow countrymen too.

Even from a purely self-interested perspective, Li Chengli is still somewhat useful to Lin Ke.

Therefore, Lin Ke did not hesitate any longer and chose to confirm!
[Contract completed! 】

[Congratulations to the player for successfully forming a contract with the Tier 4 undead creature 'Bone Knight'.]

You have obtained a new minion card.

------

[Undead Card]

[Skeleton Knight]

Star Rating: ★★☆

[Attribute: Dark]

[Skills: 1. Knight's Charge, 2. Undead Shock, 3. Rank Suppression, 4. Bone Horse Summoning, 5. Bone Blade Shaping, 6. Blinding]

(Instructions for use: omitted)
The moment the contract was completed, Lin Ke's game screen switched immediately.

The scene transitions into an incredibly dark and gloomy world.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of bones, some human and some non-human.

In short, there were bones everywhere.

At this moment, figures slowly appeared as the camera zoomed in on a vast, flat sea of ​​bones.

Leading the group was a skeletal knight riding a bone horse, followed by about a hundred skeletal undead creatures of various shapes and sizes.

And the leading skeletal knight is none other than player 'Cheng Ge Takes Off'.

As the image of the Skeleton Knight became clear, the character card that should have belonged to the player 'Cheng Ge Takes Off' in reality, namely the Skeleton Knight card, became Lin Ke's servant card and was already floating in Lin Ke's hand.

Three chapters delivered, now paralyzed, lying down, my life is more important.
