Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

If in the research institute, guessing Jiang Kai's strength through data made Lu Jun curious about Jiang Kai, then at this moment, seeing Jiang Kai's way of doing things made Lu Jun truly interested in this newcomer.

Looking at Jiang Kai again, Lu Jun's eyes already held some admiration.

'This guy is indeed a bit wild, but he has the blood of a soldier.'

'However, if today's observations are reported in detail to the chief, it's hard to say what the leader will think of him.'

Huang Wei had already been killed offline. Although Huang Da was furious, he had not completely lost his reason and did not attack Jiang Kai.

The strength Jiang Kai displayed during the kill finally dispelled some people's doubts. Regardless of how he obtained his strength, he indeed possessed significant power.

"Old Xia, present the awards." Lu Jun reminded. It was only then that Xia Tao, who was in a daze, came back to his senses and began presenting rewards to the top five.

The award ceremony at the No. 18 Login Gate became a bit awkward.

When presenting Huang Wei's award, it was Huang Da who received it on his behalf.

No one could have predicted that during the award ceremony, the first-place winner would directly kill the fourth-place winner.

"Come, let's take a group photo. This photo needs to be preserved in the history museum," Xia Tao arranged for the final part of the ceremony.

"Huang Da, smile naturally, move a little closer."

Xia Tao raised his wristwatch and completed the photo-taking.

He then projected the photo.

In the photo, Jiang Kai stood in the middle. Su Nuannuan and Yuan Zhu stood close to him, while Huang Da and Ji Lixing stood on the outermost sides.

The others had slightly youthful and genuinely heartfelt smiles... Only Huang Da's smile was stiff. His eyes didn't look at the camera but glared sideways at Jiang Kai beside him, almost burning with fire.

The stiff smile and the gloomy gaze made Huang Da appear very unphotogenic in the photo.

According to the rules, after the rookie trial ended, they had to report to their designated zone on the same day.

Since Jiang Kai and the others completed the trial on the last day, they didn't have time to wander around the main city of Huaxia and could only hurriedly follow Xia Tao and the others to Zone 18.

Looking back at the towering city, Yuan Zhu sighed, "It's said that there was no Huaxia City here before; it was the territory of wild beasts. It was the efforts of our predecessors who drove away the beasts and built Huaxia City brick by brick."

Jiang Kai also looked back at Huaxia City.

In Destiny's Calling, only by building cities can an area be free of wild beasts.

However, the beasts wouldn't allow humans to seize their territory. When building cities, they would launch wave after wave of fierce attacks.

After numerous failures, humans learned the methods of city-building.

Establishing a city requires completing three steps:

1. Control the number of beasts in the vicinity of the chosen site to avoid being overwhelmed by numbers during an attack.

2. Kill all the local bosses in advance. If a leader is present in the beast tide, the defense difficulty increases significantly. Boss-level beasts do not respawn, so they must be killed beforehand.

3. Withstand the beast tide's attack and complete the city's construction.

Perhaps there's even a fourth step: after completing the city, continue clearing out the beasts. However, completing the first three steps makes the fourth relatively manageable.

Huaxia City is the largest main city of Huaxia Nation on Ghost Star. The city covers an area of 1.2 million square meters and houses Huaxia City's most elite players, top-tier forces, and core strengths.

After experiencing the rookie trial, Jiang Kai gained a deeper understanding of Destiny's Calling's game difficulty.

Imagine when Ghost Star first opened its login gates. The soldiers, facing the unknown, had to build such a city—how many hardships they must have endured.

How many times must they have faced deaths indistinguishable from reality.

Unknowingly, Jiang Kai felt a genuine respect for the city gradually fading from view.

Of course, Jiang Kai's current primary goal was still making money.

The so-called reporting process was essentially identity binding, allowing them to log in directly to their bound main city via the login gate in the future.

Zone 18 was the territory of Jiangzhong City, located southwest of the Huaxia main city. Newcomers who hadn't completed the reporting process couldn't directly teleport and had to take horse-drawn flatbed wagons from the post station, enduring several hours of travel.

The horses used at the post station were about one-third larger than Earth's horses. They looked similar but were covered with fur, leading Destiny's Calling players to call them "long-haired horses."

Six wagons carried over 30 newcomers, speeding along rugged roads.

Along the way, they passed through forests, valleys, lakes, swamps, and ashlands. From a distance, they could see cities of various sizes.

Although not as magnificent as Huaxia City, they stood tall and proud between heaven and earth.

Xia Tao shared a wagon with Jiang Kai and his companions. Seeing them constantly looking around, he smiled slightly. "This is an occupied area. It's been swept several times thoroughly, so there are almost no wild beasts. You don't need to worry."

A newcomer asked, "Big Brother Xia, how do the beasts here compare to those in the rookie trial zone?"

"The trial zone? Hahaha, you'll understand in the future how adorable those little guys in the trial zone are."

Thinking his response might be too discouraging, Xia Tao added, "But the beasts in the trial zone don't drop items, while the ones here do."

"The stronger the beast, the better equipment its corpse can produce. There's also nuclear soil, which is the first choice for common players to strike it rich."

"This place has countless hidden spots, mysterious areas, and untold secrets waiting to be explored. Even though Destiny's Calling has been open for 50 years, the total area occupied globally is less than one-ten-thousandth of Ghost Star's total area."

"I no longer participate in pioneering. The task of exploring and occupying Ghost Star falls on you young people."

Sure enough, after Xia Tao's introduction, excitement shone in the newcomers' eyes.

Destiny's Calling, a chance to change fate. They were now part of an army of hundreds of millions of players.

The journey was long. Out of boredom, Xia Tao looked at Jiang Kai and his two companions. "Aren't you going to check your rewards?"

His words piqued the curiosity of their fellow travelers.

"Yeah, Jiang Kai, let us see the attributes of a Tier-One, Grade-Five piece of equipment. I heard the rewards for the rookie trial are carefully selected."

"Right, right. Let us see your special-approved reward too."

"Yuan Zhu and Nuannuan, you should check yours too. I've never seen Grade-A rewards either."

Jiang Kai looked at Yuan Zhu and Nuanuan, who were both staring at the reward cards in their hands.

"Fine, let's take a look then. I'm curious too," Yuan Zhu said as he activated his reward card.

In front of him immediately appeared a box made of a certain type of redwood, dark red all over, about 30 cm long and 20 cm wide, with a Nine Dragons motif carved on its surface, crafted with extraordinary skill.

At the center of the Nine Dragons, the words "Rookie Trial Special Reward" were engraved.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan Zhu opened the box.
