Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

Chapter 44 Preparatory Work, The Wind Rises in the Swamp Territory
Playing with the badge in his hand, Lin Ke simply put his mind to it, and the badge was directly attached to the right chest of his T-shirt.

Moreover, this chief's badge at this moment looked exactly like a dragon head emblem printed on a T-shirt.

It looks quite magical.

It's no wonder it's a game.

Lin Ke looked at himself in the mirror in front of the wardrobe and felt that he looked pretty good.

At least, this is better than having a badge hanging on your chest all the time, and it won't be too conspicuous.

With this badge, Lin Ke will have his attributes reduced by 25%, or one-quarter, whenever a player fights him, whether in real life or in the game.

Leaving aside the future, just looking at the current first round of closed beta testing, it's simply an absolute godsend!

The higher the strength level, the greater the gap. If one's strength is directly reduced by a quarter, what's the point of fighting Lin Ke? One might as well just surrender.

Therefore, this badge is now seen as Lin Ke's greatest gain.

This is because, whether in reality or in the game, this badge indirectly gives him the power to restrain other players.

Although the current first batch of beta testers are few in number and come from all over the country, and Lin Ke may not have the opportunity to use him, the difference between having him and not having him is still significant.

In particular, if the second round of game qualifications are awarded, then this badge will be extremely cost-effective.

Therefore, Lin Ke was in an extremely comfortable mood at this moment.

After fiddling with the badge for a while, Linko finally picked up the contract scroll from the side of the table.

"So, what about this contract scroll? How should it be stored? Is it the same?"

Lin Ke tried to move his mind.

The next moment, the contract scroll he had been holding actually turned into particles of light and dissipated.

At the same time, a message came to his mind, and a prop bar resembling a VR interface appeared on his retina.

The Contract Scroll has been added to the player's inventory.

【Item Inventory 2/10:】

1. Treatment potion - Medium potion (8 sets), currently prohibited.

2. Contract Scroll - Master and Servant (one copy), available for use.

???

Looking at the inventory that appeared in front of me, and at the realistic bottle of healing potion.

Lin Ke was somewhat surprised, and unconsciously reached out to try to take it out, but was met with a loud 'beep beep' warning that it could not be taken out.

"It seems that at this stage, apart from items that can be used in real life as direct rewards from the game, other rewards and outputs from the game cannot be taken out."

"But now that the inventory is showing up, that day is surely not far off."

Lin Ke was very certain, otherwise the inventory would never have appeared in a projection-like manner.

And this might be a kind of preparation for real games.

After having this guess in his mind, Lin Ke's heart was already burning with excitement.

Keep in mind that Lin Ke currently owns an entire territory. If the game's resources can be transferred out, the benefits Lin Ke will receive are unimaginable.

However, compared to these concerns, Lin Ke was also somewhat worried about the progress of his simulation.

The first radical choice.

Even though he felt very confident, to be honest, he was afraid of the so-called "what if" situation would occur.

After all, the world in the game is full of unexpected events, just like in real life.

Before reaching the summit, no one dares to say they can absolutely guarantee survival on each simulation day.

Moreover, this time, due to Lin Ke's fourth-order advancement, the calculation date was postponed by one hundred days.

This act of increasing the game's difficulty resulted in an unprecedented and unparalleled response when the simulation video was released early the next morning.

Lin Ke felt both helpless and indifferent about this.

He couldn't control this kind of thing. With such a blatant reward right in front of him, he couldn't possibly refuse to accept it, could he?

Furthermore, what does it have to do with him if my friend dies rather than me?

What's more, he was starving, and when he checked his phone, it was almost nine o'clock at night.

"Let's get something to eat first, some noodles," Lin Ke said, stretching lazily before walking out of the room and heading towards the kitchen.

At the city gate of Colorado, a major military town.

At dawn, on this otherwise ordinary day, three luxurious carriages suddenly approached slowly from afar.

The three carriages were guarded by ten knights wearing silver helmets, and judging from their demeanor, all ten knights were actually rank-up knights.

The leading knight was even wearing a full suit of heavy alloy armor, which completely enveloped him, and beneath him was an even more eye-catching sphinx about two meters tall.

Such an exaggerated group and combination naturally attracted the attention of a large number of mercenaries, civilians, and even small merchants entering and leaving the city.

"Has some important figure come to our Colorado Highlands? These escorting knights look incredibly imposing!"

"Where did you come from? Have you only been in our Silver Lion Duchy for a short time? Didn't you see the flag flying on the lead carriage?"

"This is the Duke's silver lion banner!"

One of the mercenaries answered while looking quite amazed.

"Judging from this setup, the leader is actually a Lionheart Earth Knight, and the other ten guard knights are at least elite knights. This must be a young master or young lady from the Duke's family traveling together."

"I wonder why such distinguished figures would come to the border. It's quite interesting! I wonder if our Mercenary Guild will receive any related missions this time?"

"."

While a large crowd was discussing the matter, the Duke's caravan had already entered the town.

At this moment, inside a horse-drawn carriage.

"Theresa, why did we come to the Monster Mountain Range for this trial?"

"I remember back then, all our brothers and sisters had to do was participate in the Royal Knight and Warlock selection competition held once every five years!"

"This time, it's our turn to come to the Monster Mountain Range for actual combat. Grandfather, this is just too unreasonable!"

Odie looked at Theresa with a worried expression.

"So, Odie, are you stupid?!"

"What time is it now? Don't you know that the Church is about to fall out with the Royal Family?"

“Even my grandfather was summoned back to the capital. At this time, the competitions would have been canceled long ago. So, my grandfather arranged for our generation of direct and collateral bloodlines to come to the Monster Mountain Range for training.”

The young girl, Theresa, looked at her younger brother with a face full of disgust.

At the same time, she said smugly to the head maid beside her, "Natalie, wasn't I right?"

The head maid, Natalie, smiled at the two young masters and ladies, nodded, and then said gently:
“Miss is right.”

"However, the Duke actually had other intentions this time as well."

"Although the Monster Mountain Range is dangerous, as long as you don't go too deep, the monsters in the wasteland below the Monster Mountain Range are actually the best opponents for your training."

"This is far more effective than any competition in training the young masters and ladies' practical skills."

When the head maid said that, Theresa understood but was still a little suspicious.

"Is that right?"

"Of course, since the two young masters and ladies are the fifth generation of direct descendants of the Duke's mansion, if the trial includes some so-called competitions, many people will actually hold back for fear of offending the Duke's mansion. Therefore, this is actually not conducive to the real improvement and growth of the young masters and ladies' strength."

"That's why His Excellency the Duke made this arrangement, and also brought along some promising young masters and ladies from collateral branches."

Of course, the head maid's words did not represent everything.

Although the old lion had the idea of ​​tempering this batch of fifth-generation bloodlines during this trial, the essence of it was that he had obtained some information about the wasteland from the secret guards that piqued his curiosity and interest.

In order to make it reasonable and convenient for in-depth investigation, this trial of the Duke's bloodline offspring is naturally the most plausible excuse.

As the head maid of the Duke's mansion, Natalie's identity is certainly not as simple as it appears, so she naturally has her own mission on this trip.

She just wouldn't say these things.

After all, in the head maid's opinion, these two young masters and ladies were already adults and had entered the ranks, and they seemed to be the leading generation of the fifth generation of the Duke's family.

But in the end, they rarely left the Duke's mansion after they were born.

Being inexperienced in the ways of the world, they are not suited to know these things. At the same time, they really need some so-called experience, and the Monster Mountain Range Wasteland is the first stop in their real life.
