Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 116 Clash of Civilizations: Countdown to Real War on Earth

Lin Ke is contemplating life.

Meanwhile, the internet was already in an uproar.

Because by midnight, the actual game had released over 300,000 game videos.

These are over 300,000 game videos.

It is divided into two video collections.

A compilation of videos from players who participated in the first closed beta test.

A compilation of videos from players during the second closed beta test.

The second closed beta test had over 300,000 player videos, with the smaller portion consisting of videos from players who failed in the previous update.

As of now, the video compilation of players from the first test only has 4,126 people left.

Based on the previous situation.

The video compilation begins with videos from top players.

Even if the video isn't made public, at least there's a black screen.

But what about this time?

Gone! ! !

The video of the player who ranked higher went up, and it was from a fourth-tier Pokémon player!

As a result, a large number of question marks appeared in the comment section of this elf player's video.

"??? Holy crap, what happened to me, the top player?! The top player is gone?!"

"How delightful! Haha, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down. Looks like that ugly dragon player is really dead! Good riddance! Hahaha, I'm in such a great mood."

"The videos of the first round players have all turned into 400-day simulations, it seems they really are dead! Holy crap, such a powerful dragon actually died? I can't understand it!"

"What's so hard to understand? Can't you see that the various races on the continent of Okra are practically fighting tooth and nail right now?"

"Orcs, elves, monsters, and humans are already locked in a fierce battle! And the dragon players are still in the buffer zone between monsters and humans, so it's hard to say they haven't died!"

"That shouldn't be the case! Even if all the humans in the dragon player's territory were wiped out, as a dragon, he should be able to hide among the monsters, right?"

"Warcraft? Don't forget how this guy played. He lost his territory and his human race. What's the point of a lord playing if he loses his territory? I guess he failed the game and was punished by the game system, losing his eligibility?"

"Really? That's such a pity! The dragon player is a leading figure among us players! What a shame, such a shame."

"."

The video section was bustling with activity, mainly featuring gameplay videos from a single player.

As for the second-round players, they all fared very poorly.

Why do I say it's tragic?

First, the 100,000 players who entered the Auckland continent encountered a racial free-for-all as soon as they entered the game.

Many players type "GG" right at the start of the game, before they even understand what's going on.

The only ones who are still relatively peaceful are the sea creatures.

Among the sea creatures, the most eye-catching players are those who failed in the previous round but qualified for the second round.

Their video was pinned to the top of the second compilation.

One of the familiar players can be seen among them, Mount Guy.

He got what he asked for.

He was howling on player forums, unaware that the actual game might have taken notice of him.

Thus, in his inhumanity, after choosing to be non-human in the second round, he was directly reborn into the sea tribe this time.

The sea creatures are far removed from the current chaos on the Auckland mainland, which should be a good thing in theory.

But for this so-called "rider guy," the situation is still not optimistic.

The video title is:
[The Legendary Mount Player's Gaming Life: The Dolphin Rider Recreates His Horse-and-Bull Career]

Even Lin Ke, who had already returned to his bedroom, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this video.

Excellent, a great victory for the return of humanity.

Although this guy in the video is no longer a warhorse, he's actually not as good as a warhorse this time.

After all, this guy's owner last time was at least a count.

This time, he's just one of many dolphins.

These dolphins are all kept as mounts by the fish-men's legion of sea creatures.

In other words, this guy is now one of many ordinary sea creatures.

There will never be a better mount experience again.

Four hundred days have passed, and he has barely reached the first rank.

This also made many viewers on Earth extremely happy.

However, compared to these superficial videos...

Lin Ke browsed through it for a bit and eventually entered the game forum.

With hundreds of thousands of players already involved, gathering information is naturally more convenient on game forums.

Upon entering the game forum, a large pop-up window appeared on Linko Computer's forum screen.

[Operational Guidelines and Important Notes]

Rules:
1. The operator does not have a forum ID and cannot trade with any player.

2. Operators must not disclose any real internal game permission information.

3. The administrator has the authority to pin or delete comments within the forum.

4. Each operator can only provide five Q&A comments per day, and their ID information must be anonymous.

5. The operator can only view a player's real information five times per day, but must not disclose it to anyone.

Important Note:
1. Currently, the forum only bans one cheater player.

2. The fundamental principle of the game is that the players are humans from Earth. The operators must not actively harm Earth players in real life (except for passive or offended situations).

3. The real game aims to find a way out of the sudden clash of civilizations. Current objective summary: taking the initiative is better than passive defense. 4. The Auckland continent serves as a training ground for new players, while the Calter continent is a suitable civilization to challenge in the real game. The current 200,000 second-round players are in the initial testing phase.

5. A stargate has appeared in the Arctic Circle of Earth. Real-world intervention is currently underway, but to allow Earth's humanity to experience the brutality of civilizational conflict ahead of time and to de-anchor the other world, the stargate is expected to open in nine days in real-world time. (De-anchoring; the other world is a low-magic technology world inhabited by insectoids, which is the currently unavailable third map.)
6. Once the Insectoid Starway is completed, all players will receive specific large-scale realistic war missions from the actual game (low threat level, not mandatory, with a roughly 90% win rate for the main technological civilization of Earth, but losses and progress may be less than ideal). Please be aware of this.

The rules and guidelines in the pop-up window left Lin Ke stunned for a long time.

The amount of information is truly getting bigger and bigger each time!
A sudden clash of civilizations?
Lin Ke clicked on the highlighted subtitle and found that an explanation had popped up.

That's probably what it means.

Even if the technology on the non-magic technology side has very low technological content, it is very likely that more wormhole and space-folding-like technologies will inexplicably and irrationally emerge.
On the magical side, gods are more likely to detect the star paths of inhabited planets; on the godless magical side, spatial rifts are more likely to appear abruptly, and on the other side of the rift may be a complete civilization.

???

WTF?

So, are all civilizations in the entire universe currently corrupted by poison?
So what is a real game?

Based on Blue Star players, meaning Blue Star is the foundation of the real game.

So, unsurprisingly, this thing is a domestic product.

Gaia consciousness?

Alaya-vijnana?

Lin Ke's reasonable speculation is limited to this.

Otherwise, the existence of real games would be completely inexplicable.

Surely it couldn't have been a random act of charity from some higher-dimensional being?

Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After all, with the backdrop of a chaotic clash of civilizations, it's not hard to understand what strange things might happen.

Lin Keren was a little numb.

Moreover, right below the subtitles for the rules and guidelines, Lin Ke even saw a video.

What does this video show?
Good guy.

It turned out to be something that looked a lot like the Gate of Truth.

But this door is much larger than the door of truth.

The video shows that the gate has a standard diameter of over fifty kilometers.

It looked exactly like a giant, seven-colored funnel appearing in the sky.

What did Lin Ke see on the ground?
Good guy! ! !
They were all People's Liberation Army troops, densely packed together!
The People's Union's army formed a ring-shaped defensive line with a diameter of over 100 kilometers, centered on the Seven-Colored Gate.

Below the defensive line, numerous military transport aircraft can be seen busily dropping large quantities of machinery and supplies into the area.

Meanwhile, along the coast, one giant ship after another was also at work.

Meanwhile, fifteen aircraft carrier fleets are stationed on the outer perimeter of these giant ships.

The ground bunkers are being constructed at full capacity, with engineering vehicles and military personnel digging them up – almost everything is being used.

At this point, the video also shows the origin and unit number of each unit.

All five continents and five districts of the People's Federation have arrived.

The army has grown to over 1.3 million in size.

And they are still gathering continuously.

Fighter jets and helicopters flew overhead, while drones repeatedly crashed into the colorful vortex.

However, this seven-colored vortex currently seems to be just a projection, and there is no real contact between them yet.

But on the other side of the rainbow vortex, many distorted, non-human shadows can already be seen.

No wonder the UN Security Council was so sensitive and immediately began a large-scale troop mobilization.

Real games have appeared.

It's normal for people to be sensitive about human rights.

I just don't know how long this thing has been around.
Moreover, the People's Federation actually concealed the news throughout the entire process?
But upon closer reflection, concealment is necessary. After all, it's still unclear what the other side is. Now, there's a real game in front and an alien invasion behind? It's no wonder this could cause chaos.

Lin Ke actually felt okay about it.

After all, the actual game also indicated a 90% win rate!

It seems that this insectoid civilization is just one of those civilizations that accidentally developed spatial portal technology by going astray in their technological development.

Low magic, low technology? Isn't this just a gift?

Given the current situation of the People's Federation.

They might just drop a few super-powerful nuclear bombs at the door if war breaks out!
But we must first make sure we can actually throw it over there.

Otherwise, we might get intercepted and explode on our side, which would result in huge losses.

However, the higher-ups at the People's Federation are definitely smarter than Link, so he doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing.

It's estimated that the main battleground in the early stages will still revolve around seizing the gate.

A conventional war of attrition?

Lin Ke frowned.

"We'll see how things go then. Maybe I'll have to take on a mission, help out, or gain some 'experience'."

However, there's no need to rush into this.

After all, with a 90% win rate, the Human Alliance would win most of the time without needing to implement global wartime military control.

However, battle damage and advancing to another world will certainly not be so easy, after all, the real game has already given a prediction.

At least the other side is a complete world.

Technology capable of creating a portal to another dimension must have some killer features.

We'll see!
Nine days from now, the in-game simulation period will be at least 1200 days, so it's still a long way off.

Lin Ke pondered for a moment, then swiped away the comments.

So they looked at the situation on the game forum.
