"Damn! Brother Lizard really hit the jackpot this time! Isn't this Forest Wolf a bit too cowardly? You're Tier Two! Fucking fight back!"
"Are you sure you're a wolf and not a dog? Look at that pathetic display. As soon as Brother Lizard's character caught up, it just flopped on the ground and started whimpering! Holy shit, did it just decide to wimp out? To become his underling?"
"This video is killing me! Watching Brother Lizard profit so much from the 300-day simulation... it's more painful than death! My simulation failed!!! Fuck, fuck, fuck!!!"
A dense barrage of scrolling comments started to appear on Lince's simulation video.
This was because, after the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard gave chase, the Tier Two Forest Wolf, seeing it couldn't escape, had actually chosen to drop to the ground, whimper, and surrender.
Clearly, the creature had chosen to submit to the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard.
This moment also happened to highlight the benefits of the game's latest update!
Otherwise, given the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's previous disposition, it probably would have ignored the Forest Wolf's submission and killed it outright.
But things were different now.
The Rock Dragon Giant Lizard approached the Forest Wolf, exuding a powerful Dragon Might.
It looked down on the Tier Two Forest Wolf with contempt and arrogance. Then, a brilliant light shone from its forehead and shot straight into the Forest Wolf's head.
At that moment, a corresponding line of text popped up on the video's interface.
[The Tier Two Forest Wolf has chosen to submit to the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard. System contract complete!]
Seeing this, it was no wonder so many people were crying out in anguish!
Most of this came from the jealousy of spectators, but of course, one couldn't deny that actual Players were also filled with envy, jealousy, and hate.
In the video collection, the popularity of Lince's video was skyrocketing.
Countless people were sharing the video, causing the number of concurrent viewers to soar to 300,000.
And that number was still climbing.
It was only just past 12:40 AM.
The influence of the True Game was global.
Therefore, its popularity was beyond imagination.
The current viewership on Pi-Station was far from its limit; most of the audience was simply split among other Players' videos at the moment.
Furthermore, the True Game video collection wasn't exclusive to Pi-Station; it was available on all major video platforms worldwide.
Therefore, one could imagine just how much attention the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's video, representing Lince, was receiving at that moment.
In less than forty minutes, the comment section on Pi-Station alone had already accumulated over six thousand comments.
Killua and his little bro: "Now *this* is what you call a big shot! A Tier Three start means his luck is insane, and that freebie of a Beast Tide in the second-day simulation is just more proof of it, letting him build up his foundation even further. It's so satisfying to watch. This is a true pro. This level of smooth sailing is just like the main character of a power-fantasy web novel."
Fish-Beneficial Insects kmiles: "I'm so envious! I'm a Player too, but I've already GG'd, unfortunately. If you don't believe me, you can check out my profile and watch the repost of my own game simulation video."
"I was just treating this like any other game at the start, so I chose a non-Human Race. And you know what? Do you have any idea what my starting character was? A fucking slug! It had a cool name, 'Vortex Poison Bug' or something, but poison my ass!"
"At the start, the game gave me a choice: escape the Demon Insect nest or defeat and eat all my siblings inside. Tell me, how was I supposed to choose 'eat them all'? There were over a hundred of those Demon Insects and only one of me! How the hell was I supposed to fight them?! So, rather than being part of some Gu Cultivation deathmatch, I decisively chose to escape."
"Anyway, I barely scraped through the first 100-day simulation, only to die in this 300-day one. I got caught by an Insect-eating Beast that specifically preys on Demon Insects. With my luck, there's just no comparing myself to the big shot in this video!"
"And my story is so tragic! I didn't even reach Entry Tier after the tutorial. I finally managed it after the 100-day simulation, only to become a meal for a Tier Two Insect-eating Beast. I don't even fucking know the name of the place I was born! Tell me, how unjust is that?! I really regret not choosing to defeat the other Demon Insects. My starting point wouldn't have been so pathetic. It's so damn unfair! I'm dying of envy over Brother Lizard's start. Comparing yourself to others is enough to make you explode!"
Tianxin Yu: "I sympathize with the Player above, but have you considered the possibility that even if you had chosen to defeat and eat the other Demon Insects, you still would have failed? And instead, you would've been treated to the 'splendid moment' of being killed right at the start?"
Fish-Beneficial Insects kmiles: "@Tianxin Yu, damn it, bro! Don't kick a man when he's down! I'm already this miserable, and you're not going to comfort me? You're just laughing at my pain? Is that really cool?"
Tianxin Yu: "Haha, what's not cool? I think it's hilarious. It's not my fault I don't have game access, right? So I'll call you out! Serves you right! The rest of you guys down below, am I right?"
Yatrun Chusitn: "Have to agree. Compared to those of us who can't even play, OP is already lucky. Even if you failed, you at least get some Extraordinary Power as compensation, right? I just wonder if that compensation will turn you into a caterpillar! Haha~"
"..."
'Such characters! The internet is truly full of them!'
Lince almost choked with laughter after briefly scrolling through a couple of the top-rated comments.
However, he was more interested in his own gains from the 300-day simulation than in the comments.
First, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard had gained another Magic Pet, and a Tier Two at that!
Additionally, this Beast Tide should also bring a decent income to the Swamp Territory.
The slain Demon Beasts—their meat, hides, and even their Demon Cores—all had some value.
Not to mention, the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard had also killed a Tier Two Frenzied Dappled Boar.
The Rock Dragon Giant Lizard had eaten its Demon Core, but not its meat.
Furthermore, the Wild Boar Hide from a Tier Two Demon Beast was worth a good amount of money.
And on top of that, York himself had hunted a Tier One Great Serpent.
All this income combined would definitely be enough to offset the cost of the military supplies the Swamp Territory had purchased, as well as the fees for the hired Mercenaries and even the damages to the numerous destroyed houses.
It had to be said that this 300-day simulation had brought Lince a massive, pleasant surprise.
York's efforts to prove his valor, combined with the Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's final cleanup, made for perfect coordination.
Now, Lince just had to wait to log on at eight in the morning!
That way, he could see the numerous benefits of the Beast Tide firsthand.
The Rock Dragon Giant Lizard's video was again an hour and a half long. The video ended with a shot of York waiting anxiously outside the castle gates for his wife, Lucia, to give birth.
In short, that was where the video cut off.
He figured that when he logged on at eight in the morning, he would be able to see the newborn child, York's direct heir!
But none of that was important right now.
Because right now, Lince was utterly exhausted. He hadn't slept at all the previous night, and today had been no different.
So, after finishing the video and while he was still scrolling through the comments, he lay down on his bed and drifted off to sleep before he knew it.
「When he woke up again, it was already past ten in the morning!」
