Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 27 The Chosen Ones: Tier 3 Players
"This feels a bit unfair."

"The power of a defeated player is no longer limited to character cards, but is integrated into themselves, but online players still need the external power of character cards?"

"Is it reasonable not to give online players some compensation?"

While scrolling through videos and returning to his apartment complex after breakfast, Lin Ke suddenly had this thought.

However, Lin Ke immediately rejected this idea.

Ultimately, the compensation for losing players is all external, since everything is tightly controlled by the actual game.

Furthermore, online players who fail later in the game will obviously receive more compensation than those eliminated on the second day.

So, once he thought about it this way, Lin Ke's mood instantly became clear.

If anyone knew what Lin Ke was thinking right now, they'd probably want to punch him.

After all, Lin Ke is now a top-tier gamer in the entire Internet of Things, and yet this top-tier player is still concerned about the meager rewards of the losing players. How can the other players bear this?

However, Lin Ke himself is feeling good right now, and even in a good mood.

After all, he has now successfully completed the three hundred-day simulation and has gained a great deal.

Now we just have to wait for him to go online and tally up the results of this simulation.

However, Lin Ke's mindset had completely stabilized by this point, and he was not even in a hurry to go online immediately.

After all, playing a little earlier or a little later will also result in eight hours of playtime. The key is to make sure you play for eight hours before midnight.

So, at this moment, Lin Ke is still engrossed in watching videos.

However, just as he was about to go upstairs, he suddenly seemed to remember something and immediately logged into the exclusive player forum for the real game.

He's now a little curious about how many players are still in the small player group he joined yesterday.

However, before entering the small group, he saw a striking post on the player forum.

[According to the second day's emergency calculations by the Human Rights Bureau's Countermeasures Bureau, only 8,623 players remain online!]

The title is short, but the matter is big!
"Were so many eliminated this time?"

"Of the original 32,000 two-day tour participants, only 8,600 remain?"

Lin Ke was also briefly taken aback when he saw the post.

"Isn't this elimination rate way too high?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Ke realized that not every player in the game was in such a difficult situation as he was.

After all, the territory of the Linco Rock Dragon Giant Lizard is located on the border between the Monster Mountain Range and the human kingdoms. It is only natural that this place will not have long peace and many changes will occur.

But what about the other players?

Lin Ke believes that many players, if they are careful enough to play cautiously, should be able to safely get through nearly a year of gameplay.

After all, there hasn't been any large-scale racial war breaking out on the entire continent of Auckland.

Given this situation, how could so many players still die in a 300-day simulation?
If a large-scale racial war broke out on the continent of Auckland, the number of players who would die would be staggering.
Yesterday, Lin Ke learned from some videos analyzing the background world that the first batch of 100,000 beta testers in the implementation phase are most likely to have arrived in the same world or planet.

However, the entire background world is quite large, and it is a medieval world where most players start with a low status, so they cannot understand the full picture of the world at the beginning.

Therefore, many people initially believed that players did not start in the same world.

But now, it's almost certain.

There is a greater than 95% probability that the first batch of 100,000 players will be 'playing' in the same world setting.

In an entire world, especially a medieval fantasy world, the 'arrival' of 100,000 players of all races might not even make a ripple.

However, some players like to pull off unorthodox tactics, which is why so many players were eliminated in the first 100-day simulation. But this second 300-day simulation occurred after players became aware of the game's unique characteristics, and it was also conducted after the game was updated to reflect player personalities.

Under such circumstances, it's still possible to eliminate so many players.

Lin Ke has reason to suspect that all of this is very likely the result of rules set by real games to increase the 'playability' or 'difficulty' of the game.

Or perhaps, the players are being targeted by the 'world will' of the continent of Okra behind the game?

After all, real games have emerged, so it's reasonable to assume that the game's background world possesses a world will and even rejects the player's arrival, right?
Having eliminated nearly three-quarters of the two-day tour participants in one go, Lin Ke was at a loss for words.

But for some reason, Lin Ke also felt a sense of crisis.

Therefore, Lin Ke immediately had a clear small goal or pursuit.

I'm not going to say anything more, and I'm not going to think about why the players are being eliminated so quickly!
In short, my immediate goal is to try my best to get into the top 1,000!

At the same time, they became known as true pros, or even 'masters', among the second batch of beta testers.

The elimination of so many players on the two-day tour naturally caused a huge uproar on the game forums.

Various conspiracy theories abound, with many players worrying about the true motives behind the game.

However, Lin Ke didn't care at all.

Ultimately, whatever the purpose of the real game, only by becoming strong can one be qualified to know the truth, and even become a part of the meal, rather than a dessert on the menu.

Therefore, Lin Ke didn't read much of the debate on the game forum, but quickly clicked into his own small group.

And then I saw the result.

Good heavens, the original player group of 37 people has now grown to 31?!

What kind of chosen group is this?!
Nearly three-quarters of the players outside have been eliminated, but our small group has only eliminated six?!

Let's not even talk about Lin Ke's surprise.

At this moment, some guys in this small group were already chatting and bragging with great pride!

Cheng Ge Takes Flight: "Haha, brothers and sisters, our group is amazing! It's like we've been chosen by the luck mechanism of a real game! With such a high elimination rate, our group only eliminated six unlucky brothers and sisters. Maybe our group is about to produce a 'top 1,000' chosen one! And this chosen one might just be me!"

Not Tea Master: "Ghostfire Chancellor, stop showing off. You're hiding in a giant tomb and you dare to be so cocky? You survived three hundred days of deductions while lying in a corpse. What kind of big shot are you? You call yourself the chosen one? I think you're more like the chosen bone or the chosen corpse."

Insomnia and Rain: "Absolutely! When it comes to big shots, who can compare to that dragon lizard guy from last night! Tier 3! And he's playing the farming/farming style like a charlatan. He has nearly a thousand people under his command now, and he even got a Tier 2 'husky' this time! When it comes to big shots, who can compare to him?"

Human Sweetie: "I agree with what Sister Yu said. I also watched that video yesterday, and it was so enjoyable! This time, won't that dragon lizard guy be overwhelmed by the system rewards when he logs in? I even predict that this guy will reach level four very soon? Hmm... let's be bold, will the dragon lizard guy reach level four tomorrow?"

I'm just an ordinary person: "Dragon Lizard? Come on! With that geographical location, it's doomed sooner or later. Besides, he's not the only Tier 3 powerhouse. As far as I know, an elf girl from the Elf Empire has gained the World Tree's approval and is riding high right now."

Wada Xiwa: "I think 'ordinary people' are being a bit emotional. Although that dragon lizard guy's location isn't great, don't you guys recognize him? This script is definitely like a novel's male protagonist being treated! However, objectively speaking, there are quite a few Tier 3 players now, about 120 or so. These lucky guys are the high-level players who have the best chance of surviving the first wave of closed beta tests."

"."

Lin Ke was quite exasperated by the chat content in the group.

How did I suddenly become the subject of their banter?

Besides, the second-tier magical beast I tamed was clearly a forest wolf, okay? What do you mean by "husky"?
If you don't compare the Timberwolves to Huskies, it's fine, but once you do, Lin Ke almost couldn't hold back. There's no way around it, since the Timberwolves that the Rock Dragon Monitor Lizard tamed really do look a bit like Huskies.

What's going on!
Furthermore, Lin Ke noticed that one player who had been quite active and engaged in the chat last time was missing from the group.

Has Power Boy Kobold really been eliminated? That's truly ruthless! Could it be that the mining operation collapsed?!
Let's observe a few seconds of silence for him.

Being a newbie is tough; please give me some monthly votes to follow my reading on investment and such.

Also, thank you to all the readers who voted with monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, and tips these past few days! Thank you everyone!!
