Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan

Chapter 253 - 203: 300,000 Players, Awaken the God of Truth

In this way, even if these Demon Players managed to survive time and again, the rewards they received on Inference Day would become utterly abysmal.

Cause trouble?

They could forget about it.

This was a measure Lince had put in place to prevent future problems, should he enter a long slumber in the Star Realm and be unable to tend to the mortal world.

Other worlds could fall into chaos.

But the Karte Continent alone had to remain dominated by the Human Race. Even if it was doomed to spoil, the meat had to spoil in the Human Race’s pot.

Moreover, if Lince’s authority was upgraded further in the future, he would place a ’lock’ on the Players of the Karte Continent.

This lock would forbid any Player from harming a Dragon Descendant Dragon Species. Any Player who did so would be punished, no matter the circumstances.

The punishment could be a reduction in power or, even more severely, the revocation of their eligibility to play the game.

It was Lince’s world, and Lince called the shots.

It was only natural for him to be a bit tyrannical.

In short, any Player who chose a non-human faction in the Karte World had drawn the shortest straw imaginable.

Being sabotaged by the Chief Player was a first in the history of the True Game.

On another note, after obtaining Level Two Authority, Lince now had a complete understanding of the mechanism behind Player spawning in the True Game.

The spawning mechanism for Players, while seemingly random, meant that over ninety-nine percent of spawned Players were characters with no power or influence to speak of.

As for the Players who managed to get an Entry Tier identity at the start, they were all without exception incredibly lucky.

The odds were akin to winning the grand prize in a lottery, which also served as an indirect test of a Player’s personal luck.

Therefore, most Players who started with an Entry Tier identity were considered to have excellent luck, and the True Game invested a higher level of cultivation in them.

Whether they would perish in the process, however, depended entirely on whether these Players’ luck would hold steady.

’Then there’s someone like me.’

’Having luck is one thing, but my biggest advantage was snatching a first-round spot.’

’That was how I received the unique, ’customized’ ’test subject’ grand prize package from the True Game.’

As for whether the True Game had other experiments, Lince was certain it did.

Otherwise, the True Game wouldn’t have bestowed titles like Chief Player, Second-in-Command, or Elite Player.

It was just that, compared to the Dragon Race, the other experiments were surely inferior.

Unfortunately, with Level Two Authority, Lince was currently unable to learn the full details of these experiments.

But that wasn’t a major issue.

He would just have to see what happened next.

Additionally, Lince discovered something else.

With his Level Two Authority, he could now control the ’type’ of character a Player would spawn as, at least in a general sense.

In other words, on a large scale, Lince could now alter the True Game’s tyrannical rule of indiscriminately using Players to ’possess’ native life forms.

Faced with this situation, Lince, out of humanitarian consideration, naturally made some adjustments.

The adjustment was that if Players were to spawn in humanoid or Human Race factions, their hosts had to be people who were extremely ignorant and felt hopeless and numb to their current circumstances.

As for non-humans... Lince didn’t intervene.

For instance, Tierless or even Low Tier Demon Beasts had negligible intelligence, so humanitarian concerns didn’t apply.

Ultimately, Lince made these adjustments because he considered both the Oakland Continent and the Karte Continent to be his territory.

As their master, it was only natural for him to implement some slightly more ’merciful’ methods of management.

Therefore, from now on, most of the humanoid and human hosts ’possessed’ by Players would be ignorant slaves or people numb with despair.

There was no shortage of such people.

After all, the Oakland Continent was fundamentally a slave-based society, and the same was even true for the Karte Continent at present.

So, in truth, the impact on Players wasn’t significant.

The biggest impact would likely be that the exceptionally lucky Players might face slightly more difficult starting options.

In any case, the current Player population was still maintaining a relatively stable and continuous growth.

Currently, just over 220,000 third-wave Players had survived.

Adding the nearly 80,000 Players from the first and second waves, the total Player population in the True Game had now reached 300,000.

Once these three hundred thousand Players matured, one could only imagine what a valuable and powerful fighting force they would become.

Lince kept a close eye on this development.

But he wouldn’t interfere too much more.

Now that he had extricated himself from the war in the real world, Lince had originally planned to put the matter of establishing the nation of York on the Karte Continent on the agenda.

However, a second thought made Lince realize there was a rather special matter he needed to handle first.

Through his Spiritual perception, Lince discovered that within the Mana Will of the Oakland Continent, the God of Truth had fully entered the process of revival.

Therefore, Lince immediately used his authority to fully enter the Oakland Game World.

Yes.

With his Level Two Authority, Lince was no longer affected by the game settings of the True Game.

He could now perfectly merge his physical body with his dragon form, allowing him to completely enter another world.

But upon arriving on the Oakland Continent, Lince was instantly teleported in his original form into the Demon God Hall.

Lince’s sudden appearance stunned the Forest Giant Elephant guarding the Demon God Hall for several long moments.

"Your Highness?" the Forest Giant Elephant asked hesitantly.

The next moment, Lince, who had appeared in the Demon God Hall in his human form and was taking in the sight of the magnificent hall, immediately smiled and turned to face the more than ten-meter-tall, humanoid-shaped elephant at his side.

"It’s me."

"So, have any of the other races on the continent come to bother you lately?"
