11: Designated Ito Hidetaka

Lin Ye directly used the Sky Curtain to locate Ito Hidekazu's name.

[NO.380000 Ito Hidekazu; Race: Yamato People; Level: LV2; Dungeon Works: "Battle of the Imperial Sea", "Revenge of the Shogun", "Kill the Ninja", "Nobunaga's Ambition"]

Lin Ye didn't know anyone else, only this Ito Hidekazu had some connection with him.

After all, he was the first to clear this guy's dungeon.

Previously, in the Battle of the Imperial Sea dungeon, many people in the comments were praising how talented Ito Hidekazu was.

Some even said he would be the one to change the history of Azure Star's dungeons!

Looking at Ito Hidekazu's information now, he indeed seemed somewhat unique. A global ranking of 380,000 was not considered a high-level expert at all.

An LV2 level was not particularly impressive in this top ranking.

But what was strange was that Ito Hidekazu's number of works was among the best of all Dungeon Designers.

He could even be said to be the number one among all Dungeon Designers!

Because even top overlords at LV4 usually only had one or two dungeons to their name.

More works should mean more ways to earn points, so normally he should have a lot of points and a high level, but Ito Hidekazu's level was not high.

This indicated that these dungeons were all created by him in a short period.

In the eyes of others, perhaps this was a manifestation of a dungeon genius.

But in Lin Ye's eyes, he didn't think so.

It was obvious that this Ito Hidekazu had support behind him, or even that he was the product of a combined effort from an organization!

Lin Ye had seen too many such people in his previous life; they seemed to have strength, but they were all products of behind-the-scenes capital.

Such so-called geniuses should naturally be pulled into the dungeon.

Whether he was a mule or a horse, he would only know after a trot.

Afterward, Lin Ye picked a bunch of Dahe Clan people from the LV0 and LV1 Challengers.

After all, a family should be neat and tidy.

In the parts he could control, Lin Ye would definitely try his best to make these Little Japan suffer.

[Dungeon Designer's challenge designation has been completed, now proceeding with Sky Curtain's random draw...]

Then Lin Ye saw various names being drawn by the Sky Curtain on the Challenger list, and the entire process was completed in one second.

[Dungeon population has been met, dungeon is about to begin...]

[Dungeon: Raging Sea's live broadcast room has been synchronized and opened. Respected Designer can enter and watch at any time.]

His first dungeon was about to officially begin. Although he was confident, Lin Ye was still a little excited.

He directly entered his dungeon's live broadcast room, already prepared to watch the poor souls suffer.

------------------------------------

At the same time, the news that the Raging Sea dungeon had passed the Sky Curtain's review and was about to officially begin was also broadcast on the dome.

In a top-tier mansion in the Dahe Clan gathering area.

Ito Hidekazu was enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea surrounded by several young women.

As a cup of cappuccino had just touched his lips,

Suddenly, the Sky Curtain's notification appeared directly before his eyes.

[Respected Dungeon Designer Ito Hidekazu, you have been designated by the Designer of the Infernal Grade dungeon "Earth Online - Raging Sea" to enter the dungeon. You will be sent to the dungeon world in two minutes!]

[Please prepare the skills and weapons you wish to bring into the dungeon!]

[Now entering countdown phase, 119...]

[118...]

[117...]

[116...]

"What!"

This sudden dungeon summon caught Ito Hidekazu off guard.

But what surprised him even more was that the dungeon he was being sent to was Raging Sea.

"Raging Sea? Isn't that Lin Ye's dungeon?"

"This kind of dungeon can actually pass the review?! And it's..."

"It's Infernal Grade!!!"

Ito Hidekazu truly couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes.

It was simply too bizarre.

A rookie who had just been promoted to LV1, with no background and no skills, how could he create a dungeon for ten thousand players?

And it was Infernal Grade?

This was the first time Ito Hidekazu had seen a dungeon of this level exist.

"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

"The Sky Curtain must have made a mistake! It must be a review error!"

In his panic, Ito Hidekazu spilled his coffee all over the floor, staining his proper suit.

"No... I need to calm down."

"It's just entering a dungeon, there's nothing to be afraid of."

Ito Hidekazu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

After a brief period of tension, Ito Hidekazu slowly regained some rationality.

He was an LV2 Challenger, and his points were quite ample, so even if he failed the challenge, he wouldn't be directly erased.

Moreover, he also had the skills and weapons from his four dungeons, so his chances of clearing the dungeon were much higher than ordinary people.

"Hmph, designating me to enter the dungeon? Lin Ye, this will be your biggest mistake."

Ito Hidekazu brought all his weapons with him; this time, he would enter the dungeon fully equipped.

"Ten thousand-player dungeon, Infernal Grade? I'd like to see how capable you are!"

Ito Hidekazu clenched his fists tightly.

Regardless of the difficulty of Lin Ye's dungeon, being directly drawn into the dungeon like this was a sign of disrespect towards him.

Any Dungeon Designer in this world, when designating dungeon Challengers, would choose from LV0 and LV1 Challengers.

Because no one wanted their dungeon to be cleared!

Choosing LV0 was because Challengers at this level were blank slates, and it was safer to harvest points from these useless people.

Choosing LV1 was because Challengers at this level were generally newly promoted Designers, and directly eliminating them meant getting rid of a potential future opponent.

No one would be foolish enough to actively choose an LV2 person to enter their dungeon.

Because LV2 Challengers had the authority to bring weapons from their own dungeons into other people's dungeons!

The Sky Curtain's random draw was unavoidable, but if it was an active choice to let such a person enter one's own dungeon, that was simply insane.

"Lin Ye! You will pay the price for your arrogance and hubris."

The more Ito Hidekazu thought about it, the angrier he got, and he already had killing intent towards Lin Ye in his heart.

"I will lead these ten thousand people to clear your dungeon and directly erase you!"

Since it was a ten thousand-player dungeon, as long as he could lead more people to clear the dungeon, the more points Lin Ye would have deducted.

Now that Lin Ye had just been promoted to LV1, his points were limited, and he had a complete chance to clear his points to zero.

Thinking of this, Ito Hidekazu was no longer flustered. He sat quietly in his chair and picked up his coffee cup again.

Then he waited for the dungeon countdown to end.
