After exiting the scene mode.

Lin Ke sat in front of the computer and looked at the Yorksmith panel, feeling quite satisfied.

After his bloodline was purified, York's potential successfully increased by one star level.

Moreover, given just a few days to adapt to his current first-tier perfected bloodline power, this guy can successfully break through to the second tier.

"A 24-year-old at the second tier, I wonder if his aptitude is considered good or bad in this game world?"

"But after all, it's a low-level bloodline, so I'd guess it's just average?"

Lin Ke speculated, and at the same time began to operate the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard towards the Giant Tooth Rat's nest on the other side of the swamp territory.

During the recent 'Descent' scenario, Link mentioned this to York.

The giant rat will have its proxy handle the problem.

After that, he only needs to focus on developing his territory.

As for the commotion caused by his arrival, how should York describe it?

Lin Ke did not react much.

However, when Lucia boldly inquired about the name of her god, Linko acted with caution.

They did not claim any existing god in this world, or even fabricated one themselves.

He said that now was not the time for them to know their names, and then said that they only needed to act as they saw fit in relation to this 'miracle'.

How exactly things will unfold depends on how far York and Lucia manage to keep things under control.

Too much talk leads to mistakes; let's see what these two do.

All Lin Ke needs to do is play his role as 'god' as well as he can.

After all, whether the game can continue smoothly depends only a small part on the player's own efforts; most of the time, it depends on luck.

The 100-day simulation mechanism is truly awful.

Just as Lin Ke was internally criticizing the game mechanics, a new subtitle suddenly popped up on Lin Ke's computer screen.

[Triggering a battle scene]

[Playing a character enters the swamp, extending the area of ​​the giant rat's nest]

[Please select the next action option for the current scene.]

[Option 1: Unleash your dragon's might and drive all the giant rats out of the territory.]

Option 2: Kill or devour all the Megalodons in the nest.

[Option 3: Enter the lair and use your dragon's might to subdue the 'Rat King' of the Giant-Toothed Rat's lair.]

???

"Can this really trigger an event?"

Lin Ke looked slightly taken aback.

"I originally thought they were just some small fry, and I was just thinking of giving the Rock Dragon Monitor Lizard a little treat. I never expected such a pleasant surprise!"

Is this still a choice?
To maximize profits, Lin Ke naturally had only one thing to do.

[Option confirmed: Three.]

Players choose to enter the Giant Rat's lair to subdue the 'Rat King' with the power of the dragon.

As the prompt text appeared and quickly disappeared, the next moment, Lin Ke's consciousness, which had just exited the 'Descent' scene mode, was sucked back in.

------

This is the south side of the swamp territory.

Here, the forest and the swamp are clearly separated.

A grassy slope with many waist-high slopes.

The grassland is not very large, probably only a few hundred thousand square meters.

But even in this seemingly beautiful place, a considerable threat lurks hidden among the grass.

However, all of this will become a thing of the past.

Because, without anyone noticing, the figures that had been darting about in the grass all fell silent.

And then, in the next instant, a tremendous roar suddenly erupted. Instantly, a colossal creature burst forth from the ground.

This enormous creature was none other than the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard under Lin Ke's control.

It must be said that the Rock Dragon Monitor Lizard's burrowing power is by no means weak.

Digging underground was incredibly easy, and with his unique sensitivity to magic and life, Link easily found the giant rat 'Rat King' hidden in its underground nest.

At that moment, the rat king was being held in Lin Ke's mouth.

Of course, Lin Ke didn't actually bite.

It was just right to control this big guy, to prevent him from escaping in his wild struggles.

However, judging from the current situation, this guy isn't going to run away.

After all, the Dragon's Might of the Rock Dragon Monitor seemed to be much more useful than Lin Ke had imagined.

With the dragon's might, not only did the little mice around the Rat King dare not move, but even the Rat King himself trembled and cowered with his head in his hands.

Once on the ground, Lin Ke casually spat the Rat King he was holding onto the ground.

Only then did he realize that the Rat King had already fainted from fright.

Whether this guy was really dead or not, at this moment, this not-so-small fellow was lying dead on the grass.

Lin Ke had nothing to say about this.

"I've already dragged the Rat King out of the ground, so what? Still no subjugation notification?"

Lin Ke was somewhat speechless.

After all, York's master-servant contract was established once he made his choice.

Just as Lin Ke was thinking this, the inevitable happened.

[The quest to subdue the Rat King with Dragon's Might is complete.]

Because the Rat King was terrified by the dragon's might, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard used the power of dreams to project its power into the depths of the dream world, threatening the Rat King and forging a soul contract with him.

[Congratulations, player, for triggering the 'Fellow Pet' feature.]

(Fellow monsters: Monster servants contracted by the player. Depending on their strength and intelligence, they can complete different levels of commands from the player.)
Pet: Giant-Toothed Rat King.

Lifespan: 38/124 years.

Strength: On the verge of entering the next level (not yet entered the next level)
Growth rate: 94.6%
Potential: ★
Bloodline: Giant-toothed Mountain Rat (Low-tier bloodline, not activated)
Attribute affinity: Earth

Skills: 1. Burrowing; 2. Biting

Population: 134

(Female mice, adult mice, including pups)
Warcraft truly lives up to its name; even the unawakened bloodline potential of this Rat King is stronger than York's unpurified bloodline potential.

However, in this world, although monsters have great potential, their growth rate is many times slower than that of humans.

But these unranked rats do indeed have a long lifespan.

However, even if you live long enough, you will still die if you are killed.

What's the use of a monster with great potential if it hasn't grown up?
However, it cannot be denied that the Warcraft faction is definitely one of the strongest in this world.

It's no wonder they can control a vast area of ​​primeval mountains and jungles, no less than human territory.

After exiting the scene mode, Lin Ke immediately took his face away from the keyboard and began to tally up his gains.

"A rat king that is about to reach the next level."

"Plus one hundred and thirty-four little mice."

"Hmm, there are actually more than three hundred low-level magic crystals in the Giant Tooth Rat's nest?"

"Damn, could this be stolen from that low-level magic crystal vein beneath the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's nest?"

Lin Ke was speechless.

The low-level magic crystal veins beneath the swamp are the biggest guarantee for the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's successful growth.

We definitely can't let other magical beasts wreak havoc, and Linko never even intended for York to send people to mine it.

After all, mining low-level magic crystal veins can yield huge profits in the short term.

But it will destroy the magic well beneath the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's nest.

This doesn't require Lin Ke to guess or think about.

Because he was controlling the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard back to its nest, Lin Ke could directly see the data panel of the Magic Well displayed on the computer screen.

[Magic Well: Low-to-High Tier]

Description: This is a magic well generated by a low-level magic crystal vein. If you can fully absorb the magic power generated within it each day, it is equivalent to consuming about twenty-eight low-level magic crystals daily.

Effect: Currently, it can guarantee a 15% increase in the growth rate of the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard, greatly accelerating its growth. The effect will gradually weaken as its strength increases, and it is expected to meet the basic requirements for the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard to reach the fifth tier.

Ore Vein: This ore vein can currently yield approximately 130,000 low-level magic crystals and over 1,200 mid-level magic crystals. After mining 10% of the low-level magic crystals, the magic well effect will disappear, and the ore vein's growth rate will be slowed by 50%.

Upgrade: Currently, if the mine is kept intact, it is estimated that it will take 153 years for the quality of the entire mine to be naturally upgraded to the intermediate level through the magic power it gathers.
