127: The price of suicide!
Lin Ye didn't need to make any modifications to the dungeon content, but there was one thing he absolutely had to ensure was completed.
That was, the South Goryeo Settlement absolutely could not give up; they had to continue challenging his Winter is Coming dungeon.
The people of this Settlement had always been scheming against him.
They even went so far as to mobilize the strongest combat power of their entire Settlement to deal with him…
Although it didn't cause much substantial damage, it was like a flea, annoying.
Lin Ye had also seen the recent news; this South Goryeo Settlement was shamelessly challenging the Great Xia Settlement and had even eliminated many young people from Great Xia.
The two Settlements were already on the verge of a major war, full of the smell of gunpowder.
If such a Settlement wasn't taught a sufficient lesson and thoroughly beaten into submission, it would only cause more trouble for him in the future.
Such a menace must be directly crushed.
Lin Ye took out his phone and began recording his third video.
This time, Lin Ye's words were very simple.
"Three challenges, all failures. Some lies no longer need explanation."
"But Kim Geun-seok, our duel is not over yet! You still have a chance to defeat me."
"I have adjusted the dungeon's participant limit to five million. If you want to prove yourself, why not gamble with the lives of your entire Settlement? Let all those Koreans who only shout in the live streams participate?"
…
In fact, even before this third Winter is Coming ended, the Great Xia Settlement and the South Goryeo Settlement had already stirred up a huge commotion!
A group of elites from the Great Xia Settlement continuously broke through the South Goryeo Settlement's dungeons, even the former head of the Kim family conglomerate, Kim Chan-hoon, was demoted.
Afterward, the South Goryeo Settlement retaliated, sending people to attack the dungeons of young Challengers from Great Xia.
In this back-and-forth, many young Challengers from both Settlements were directly eliminated.
Such a brutal duel had not appeared on Azure Star for a long time.
It wasn't a war in the true sense, so the Sky Curtain wouldn't interfere; in fact, the Sky Curtain even supported this kind of confrontation.
However, under normal circumstances, such conflicts generally wouldn't erupt between Settlements.
Because this act of mutually conquering dungeons and eliminating each other's low-level Challengers actually had no substantial benefits for either Settlement.
It would greatly weaken the reserve forces of both Settlements, ultimately leading to mutual destruction and allowing other Settlements to reap the benefits.
Therefore, as soon as this incident erupted, it received all sorts of attention.
Now, Lin Ye's provocative video was tantamount to solidifying the war between Great Xia and South Korea! He wanted to attract all the flames of war onto himself.
Moreover, Lin Ye's attitude clearly showed that he intended to face the entire South Goryeo Settlement alone!
Television stations and the internet were all bombarded in turns.
"It's exploding! Lord Ye is completely enraged this time, he actually adjusted the dungeon participant limit to 5 million!!!"
"My Lord Ye is truly my Lord Ye, he doesn't hold back at all!"
"This is too overbearing, five million! If South Korea dares to accept this challenge, it means putting all the LV2 and above elites of the entire Settlement on the line!"
"I wonder if South Korea even has five million LV2 Challengers? They simply can't accept this kind of thing."
"Personally, I feel that Lord Ye is playing a bit too big this time. A Challenger scale of five million is no longer what a normal dungeon can accommodate."
"That's right, no matter how strong the dungeon is, it can't withstand the combined attack of five million people. Just think, how terrifying is that combat power? The weapons brought into the dungeon would pile up like mountains!"
"So if South Korea dares to accept, it's either their demise or Lord Ye's elimination… This level of dungeon, I can call it a world war among dungeons!"
There was all sorts of talk on the internet.
These people were originally just watching the show, not caring about the consequences, so they naturally made all sorts of comments.
The main reason was that the number of five million Challengers was indeed too exaggerated, making people inevitably surprised.
It should be known that before Lin Ye started designing dungeons, the peak number of participants in a dungeon on Azure Star was eight thousand. As the development progressed step by step, from the peak of one million in Raging Sea to the current Winter is Coming directly upgrading to five million.
Lin Ye's strides were simply too big.
So much so that the entire world couldn't keep up with his pace.
-------------------------------------
The dungeon ended.
Kim Geun-seok was gasping for air, collapsing onto the sofa.
His clothes were soaked with sweat, his hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly disheveled.
He had a large amount of points deducted, but that was already irrelevant.
Compared to the psychological toll,
He had painstakingly planned, but when the Mao Xiong Country's tank formation appeared, everything still seemed so vulnerable.
That's why he chose to commit suicide to escape it all.
Because that feeling in the dungeon was simply too despairing!
Pain! So much pain!
It was suffocating, making him tremble all over.
Why?
Why?!
Just then, a hurried footsteps suddenly sounded.
The villa's door was directly slammed open, and Kim Chan-hoon walked towards him aggressively.
"Useless! Rebellious son!"
Slap!
A fierce slap landed directly on Kim Geun-seok's face.
This sudden blow caught Kim Geun-seok off guard, and he fell directly to the ground.
"Father! This time I really did my best!" Kim Geun-seok covered his face, his emotions also becoming somewhat agitated.
"What can I do if I can't win? This Lin Ye is like he has the help of a god!"
"Our Kim 7V Tank is already the top model on this Azure Star, but it's completely outmatched in front of Lin Ye's tanks!"
"This kind of thing is not something I can control! What wrong have I done!"
Kim Geun-seok was already very annoyed, and then he was hit by his father, instantly filled with rage.
As soon as he finished speaking, another slap landed on Kim Geun-seok's face.
"Rebellious son! I don't care what you did in the dungeon, I just want to ask you why you committed suicide?"
"Do you know that committing suicide in a dungeon is an act of cowardice! You are trampling the face of my entire Kim family on the ground."
His father, Kim Chan-hoon's words, directly stunned Kim Geun-seok in place, and he stammered, unable to say another word.
"I…"
Just now in the dungeon, he was emotionally agitated and directly chose to commit suicide.
Now, under his father's two slaps, he had sobered up a bit and naturally realized how foolish a thing he had done.
Suicide, in any Settlement on Azure Star, is a very shameful act.
Because if death is inevitable, why not die fighting in the dungeon? That way, death would at least have some value.
Choosing to commit suicide prematurely is no different from deserting in battle; it's simply being unable to endure the torment.
A Challenger who commits suicide in a dungeon will only be seen as a coward by everyone! They will not receive any respect!
And Kim Geun-seok, as the Commander, chose to commit suicide at the final decisive battle.
This was even worse.
Kim Chan-hoon directly threw his phone in front of Kim Geun-seok, telling him to take a good look at the current situation.
When he saw the overwhelming news, Kim Geun-seok was completely dumbfounded.
