Calamity Dragon, Starting with the Cultivation of Knight Families

The Chapter 9 game video continues to generate buzz.
real world.

The comment section of a video titled "Starting as a God and Raising a Knight Family from a Swamp Lizard" in the compilation of real gameplay videos is also very lively at this time.

Azhazhazha: "This video is interesting! It's a lord farming mode? A lizard is even playing the role of a charlatan, haha."

Kurosaki's Soul Master: "Not bad. I've watched many videos of non-human players, and this player's video is quite interesting. At the beginning, this guy didn't choose to kill the knight and join the non-human camp to develop his own monster army. Instead, he formed his own faction and chose the human camp? Monsters ruling over humans? That's really interesting."

343Evilspark: "Indeed, if it were me, I would definitely kill that knight at the start. After all, it's a game. Since I'm a monster, I would definitely wantonly slaughter those weak humans. After all, those who are not of my kind are bound to have different hearts. Don't they understand this principle?"

Benzi Xia: "The person upstairs is wrong. The humans in this game are not weak. Take the knight named York, for example. He would be considered a superman in modern times. Playing a monster and killing humans? You're dreaming. There are quite a few stupid players in the non-human faction of this game who have the same idea as the person upstairs, so they immediately type GG at the beginning."

Broken Dream: "Indeed, you can't act recklessly in this game, and I actually agree with what the player in the video did. After all, many players are now streaming, so I think everyone knows the mystery of this game. Although it's nominally a game, in reality, as long as I think about how these game NPCs might correspond to real people in the real world, I feel that from the perspective of being human as well, players should be more rational and kind."

Life is like a dream: "Rationality? Kindness? Humans killing each other is what's ruthless, okay? What's the use of kindness? Self-interest is king. Whoever harms your interests will be killed. That's the way of the world! So what if the NPCs in this game are real people from the real world? We humans on Earth don't owe them anything."

The discussion under the video went off-topic, with many posts veerging into discussions about human nature.

However, most of the discussion revolved around the plot and background of the video.

Star Returns to Geheros: "I have to say, this player really struck gold. The knight named York in the picture is a nobleman, so he can get a lot of resources. And look at his actions in advancing the story over the past hundred days. Although he is not very smart, he is measured in his actions and even did not reveal the so-called 'miracle' in the end. His father only thought that the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard was a magical beast with dragon blood."

Three or two leek leaves and an egg: "The person upstairs is right. This player's start is really good. I've seen several guys from the non-human faction. Even if they successfully completed the 100-day storyline, their situation is much worse than the player in this video. One of them started as a graveyard lich. I think his storyline will probably be besieged in the next stage. He probably won't survive until tomorrow."

The white-robed scholar with the flute said, "That's right, the player in this video is obviously incredibly lucky! He started as a second-tier extraordinary life form, and after the storyline, he was already at the third tier. This starting point is not low at all! It's even ridiculously high. Tonight, I watched about sixty videos of players who successfully completed the '100-day progress' at double speed, and I only saw one player successfully achieve the second tier."

Miku Little Char Siu: "Don't say it, really, considering the probability that about three out of ten players are eliminated on the first day of this game, I think the player in this video is really lucky at the start. He might even survive to the end! What's more, it's a farming-style gameplay that seems quite rare. It seems necessary to keep an eye on it. Maybe next time I can get a chance to play and get on the good side of him."

Xuan Yinglongyun: "Hook up with someone's leg? Hehe, what are you thinking, bro? I spent the whole night studying the background world of a lot of player videos. I found that the background map in this game is huge. Take this Silver Lion Duchy for example, I've never even heard of it!"

Hung Hing's Ekin: "What the person upstairs said is right. The game map is indeed a bit big, and I've seen some players start on islands. Not to mention, the ocean in this game world is inhabited by sea creatures. Some players even start with sea monsters. I think it will be difficult for players to exchange resources at this stage."

66 is the cutest: "The two people upstairs are right. So, does anyone know when the second round of closed beta test qualifications for this game will be distributed?"

There are over 300 comments, and the number of viewers watching the video of Lin Ke playing the monitor lizard continues to rise.

You know, it's almost 3 a.m. now.

The number of viewers watching the monitor lizard video has exceeded one thousand.

To be honest, this also proves that the release of real game videos has generated a lot of public opinion and buzz online.

After watching his 100-day progress storyline, Lin Ke felt quite pleased with everything York had done, but he was genuinely shocked when he discovered the public opinion surrounding the real game.

He was particularly speechless when he searched online and found various platforms criticizing hackers for intrusions.

This is a ridiculous game; they're openly promoting their supposed uniqueness.

No wonder, at this hour, so many people are still watching my video online.

After all, the entire human network has tens of billions of people, and it's the weekend now. With so many night owls around, there's no doubt that a lot of people will see their own videos.

"This is going to be interesting. I wonder how the authorities will react," Lin Ke sighed.

In particular, Lin Ke also discovered that many players who lost games started live streaming.

Even more shockingly, some players openly stated during their live streams that they had obtained the extraordinary power of the 'character card,' leaving Lin Ke speechless.

As for why these individual gamers claim to have obtained character cards, the reason is actually quite simple.

Because these game players lost their character cards after failing during the 100-day story progression.

Therefore, Lin Ke can also understand the mentality of these losers.

These guys are driven by jealousy and resentment, and they're stirring up trouble because they want others to suffer as well as they themselves.

After these losers caused trouble, some players successfully survived the 100-day simulation.

Furthermore, people with wavering mindsets began to actively appear and demonstrate the extraordinary power of the character cards.

It's easy to imagine how lively the internet is right now.

Even now, many influential figures, livestreamers, and experts who are already aware of the inside story have begun appealing to the authorities.

It is said that in order to maintain social stability, the authorities should intervene in a timely manner, strictly control the extraordinary powers of players who are qualified to play the game, and even call on qualified players to actively cooperate with the authorities in subsequent arrangements.

In short, the appearance of these guys has somewhat successfully affected the mentality of other players.

Lin Ke wanted to give these guys a friendly greeting, but at the same time he felt a bit helpless.

After all, moral blackmail always works well in the market.

With a global population of nearly 10 billion, only 100,000 players—no, currently only about 30,000 players still possess the extraordinary power of character cards. What are the other ordinary people on Earth supposed to think? What are the ruling class of the Human Federation supposed to think?
The old saying, "It's not scarcity that's worrisome, but inequality," is absolutely true.

However, at this point, Lin Ke also had another question.

So, given the huge buzz the real game has generated, how could the official team not know? Why is there still no news?

Don't say things like, "It's still the middle of the night, and the officials are still discussing it."

After all, the official response is the one that should be most proactive in calming the public outcry caused by the real game.

Even if the official discussion is still ongoing, they should at least issue a simple emergency announcement.

but no!

Not a single one!

This is true for the Eastern State, and also for the other states and regions of the United People's Party.

This was very unusual; Lin Ke even sensed an eeriness, like the calm before a storm.

Lin Ke is not the only one who feels this way; many people online have also started discussing it.
