Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 10 Official Countermeasures Bureau
As expected, Lin Ke's guess was correct.

The authorities have indeed been holding back a big surprise.

Just after Lin Ke stayed up all night watching many players' videos, it was 7 a.m.

Suddenly, a large number of push notifications appeared on his phone's message notifications through various apps.

Of course, this wasn't just Lin Ke's doing; at the same time, various television programs began broadcasting 'big news'.

Lin Ke's phone was also flooded with push notifications, to the point that he couldn't keep up.

The Human Alliance Real Game Countermeasures Bureau has been officially established.

The Human Alliance emphasized that regardless of whether the game is backed by an advanced alien civilization or higher-dimensional beings, the Human Alliance will unite to deal with it with all its might.

[Official Announcement: Players are free to choose whether to join the Countermeasures Bureau, but it is emphasized that players must not become slaves to power and commit irrational and illegal acts.]

【.】

Lin Ke stared blankly at the information, his mind going blank for a moment.

Then, without realizing it, I clicked on one of the links, which redirected me to an official video.

The video shows a press conference, after which a spokesperson whom Lin Ke had never seen before appeared on the podium.

"Good morning, fellow journalists and viewers watching on screens."

"You may not be familiar with me yet, so let me give a brief self-introduction."

"My name is Che Shaohua, I am 42 years old, and I am currently the spokesperson for the Real Game Countermeasures Bureau of the United East Continent Division."

"This press conference not only announces the establishment of the East Continent Countermeasures Bureau, but also provides some simple explanations of the actual game situation."

"But before that, let's show all the reporters and viewers a video!"

"Here, I would like to advise the lucky players who have obtained the real game player qualification at this stage: do not lose your way in power and do illegal or disorderly things. Next, please look at the big screen."

As the camera zoomed out, a series of images began to appear.

All of these scenes depict players using the power granted by the game to commit illegal and criminal acts.

These scenes included footage from both the East and West continents, but without exception, all of these reckless players were either arrested or killed immediately!

The scene that Lin Ke was most interested in was naturally one that took place in the Eastern Continent.

In the video, a young man, for reasons unknown, storms into a nightclub and kills many people.

And the result?

This naturally attracted the attention of the official countermeasures bureau.

The man, dressed in casual clothes, simply pointed at the crazed young man and uttered a soft shout.

The next instant, the young man who had just been dominating the battlefield was as if he had been hit by an air cannon. His chest collapsed and he was thrown far away, instantly becoming seriously injured and unconscious.

This shocking scene left Lin Ke somewhat taken aback.

"So, did the official team recruit players immediately today? Or did an official staff member just happen to register for the game?"

Lin Ke estimated that this was probably the case.

After all, the first round of testing had 100,000 player slots. Even if only 30,000 players have survived so far, the probability that someone in the official League of Legends organization will get a chance to play is still quite high.

Moreover, officials may have family members and relatives, and the probability that some of them may also obtain the qualification is not small.

And this game can't possibly exclude people with official status or background from playing, can it?

This also confirms some things, just like in the official videos, most of the criminals faced official counterattacks with firearms.

Of course, this was just Lin Ke's guess, so he simply continued to quietly watch what the spokesperson for the Countermeasures Bureau would say.

"Having read this far, I believe everyone understands that when dealing with criminals who are game players, our Joint Countermeasures Bureau will adopt a zero-tolerance attitude and also has the power to suppress all criminals with supernatural powers. Therefore, we urge the general public not to panic."

"As for the specifics of the real game, the Human Alliance Countermeasures Bureau is investigating with all its might. However, due to confidentiality regulations, there are many things I cannot say here. But there is one thing I need to let everyone know: the Human Alliance is absolutely capable of dealing with this unregistered network intrusion, whether it is launched by an advanced alien civilization or a higher-dimensional life form."

"In addition, the Real Game Countermeasures Bureau hereby publicly calls on all players who possess 'character cards' to join the Human Union Countermeasures Bureau and contribute their strength to the stability of the entire Blue Star, to the Human Union, and to the Countermeasures Bureau."

"At the same time, the countermeasures bureaus of the various states of the People's Union hereby jointly announce that they will not use moral blackmail or force players to join the countermeasures bureaus, nor will they conduct identity checks on players who have obtained game qualifications. All game players can rest assured."

"In addition, the Countermeasures Bureau emphasizes that when facing this game, players should pay close attention to their own safety risks. It also warns all citizens who are still hoping to grab the so-called 'next round of game qualification' not to become addicted to the game and claim that they can obtain supernatural powers. After all, there are still too many unknowns and safety risks in the game at present."

"Alright, that concludes my remarks. Now, we will proceed with the Q&A session. Please feel free to ask your questions."

"."

The official announcement was nothing short of a bombshell.

This massive bomb left countless people stunned, some even thinking they were dreaming or had traveled through time!
A real game? Will the power of game characters be reflected in reality?

Is this something that could actually happen in real life?
Lin Ke had also finished reading the entire speech by this time.

Lin Ke summarized the official announcements and statements into three points.

First, in order to promote its fairness and transparency, the Human Rights Countermeasures Bureau probably won't conduct investigations or screenings of game players openly. However, this is only on the surface; it's hard to say whether it will do so secretly.

Second, the fact that the League of People is openly and actively recruiting players reflects the anxiety the League of People officials feel about the existence of a real game, so they had to issue an announcement as soon as possible to reassure people.

While such an announcement may not be able to comfort many people, after all, the official announcement from the People's Federation is tantamount to admitting to the public that they know very little about this matter, or even that it is not under their control.

At the same time, because this matter is beyond the general public's understanding of reality, it is bound to cause a lot of social discussion and unrest in the early stages.

This half-baked official announcement may seem useless, but it's better than remaining silent. After all, the bizarre 'video' manipulation in the actual game put the official team in a very passive position, making it difficult for them not to issue an explanation.

Even so, the fact that the Human Alliance can use this opportunity to publicly recruit players means it's not a complete loss.

Third, the Human Alliance will set up 'player' recruitment points on its online platform and in cities and counties around the world. Recruited players will be uniformly assigned and given good salaries and allowances. In the future, players with high development potential will even be given official positions and assigned intelligence teams to assist them in the game.

Overall, the current situation is not too bad for Lin Ke.

As for whether or not to join the official countermeasures bureau?

At least for now, Lin Ke has no such plans. In any case, we need to see if the Human Alliance Countermeasures Bureau is just making empty promises to the players, and how the game will unfold in the future.

Let the other show-offs and pretentious players explore the path first; as for myself, I'll just continue playing in peace for now.

Sure enough, after watching the official announcement video and some discussions, it was already 8 a.m.

Without hesitation, Lin Ke immediately turned on his computer again to prepare for today's gaming schedule.
