149: A big gamble belonging to Long Yuan!

"An Anti-Erasure Privilege Card?!"

"Elder Long, you want to use an Anti-Erasure Privilege Card on Lin Ye?"

"Elder Long! This..."

Everyone looked stunned.

The Anti-Erasure Privilege Card, this item was said to be the most expensive thing on the entire Azure Star.

One million points were needed to exchange for one, which was enough points to upgrade a person to LV4.

Being expensive wasn't enough; this type of privilege card couldn't be bought with money alone.

Only those who advanced to the TOP10 of the Hero Ranking had the right to purchase an Anti-Erasure Privilege Card, and only one could be purchased each year.

It could be said that it had a price but no market!

It was purely a privilege provided by the Sky Curtain specifically for top-tier Challengers.

The Anti-Erasure Privilege Card, as its name suggested, could exempt one from point deductions for a certain period to ensure a person wouldn't be erased by the Sky Curtain. Ultimately, it was a life-saving item.

Those who frequently played games would easily understand that 'anti-erasure' could be interpreted as 'invincibility' for a certain period.

Similar to a riot shield.

The card owner could use this card on anyone, and the next time that person's points were deducted, the Anti-Erasure Privilege Card would activate, with an activation period of one day in the real world.

If the deducted points were enough to erase the user, then this point deduction would be offset, and if this situation occurred, the card would not have been wasted.

But if the next point deduction was not enough to erase the user, for example, if the user only had ten points deducted in the next day, then the Anti-Erasure Privilege Card would only offset ten points, resulting in a huge loss.

Of course, there was another situation: if the user did not have any points deducted within a day, then the Anti-Erasure Privilege Card would not have activated, and the points would be refunded to the card's original owner.

A group of people thought carefully. As the current instance Designer, the only thing the Great Xia Settlement could use to help Lin Ye was indeed this special effect card.

It was just that Grandfather Long Yuan had never even met Lin Ye.

Yet he was willing to directly exchange an Anti-Erasure Privilege Card for Lin Ye, which showed how much this leader of the Dragon Kingdom valued Lin Ye!

"What's there to it?" Long Yuan continued to grin.

"I think if this Winter is Coming instance by Lin Ye really fails, the deduction will be more than ten million. This old man exchanging ten million points for this kid's life is absolutely worth it!"

"It's like making a big profit from the Sky Curtain!"

General Li Yunlong swallowed. He couldn't imagine that Long Yuan made such a decision so easily.

Ten million points, this could be said to be the absolute reliance for a Challenger to be defined as a top-tier Challenger.

If he remembered correctly, Grandfather Long Yuan currently had around 19 million points in reserve, just a step away from 20 million.

Exchanging the Anti-Erasure Privilege Card would naturally save Lin Ye, but Long Yuan himself would also drop from LV4 to LV3, falling out of the ranks of the top-tier Challengers.

The difference between LV4 and LV3 was still very significant, the key being the permanent instance exemption.

It could be said that an LV4, as long as he didn't actively seek trouble like Takakawa, would be immortal!

But LV3 did not have such a privilege, meaning he would face the danger of being directly pulled into instances by other instance Designers, just like lower-level Challengers.

This was still from a personal standpoint.

From the Settlement's standpoint, the impact would be even greater.

The moment Long Yuan exchanged the special effect card, he would have 10 million points deducted.

His ranking would drop from seventh on the Hero Ranking to outside the top thirty!

The benefits and resource inclination from the Sky Curtain that the Great Xia Settlement could enjoy would also greatly decrease.

This would definitely have an immediate impact on the Great Xia Settlement.

"But... but Elder Long, your level will drop directly," General Li Yunlong said.

"Isn't it just a gamble?" Long Yuan didn't care at all, picked up the old water jar, and took another big gulp of water.

"I'm old, and anyone with eyes can see that Lin Ye's talent and skill are far above mine."

"I'm betting this kid can lead Great Xia to forge ahead in the future, is that not allowed? Hahaha."

As he spoke, a serious expression suddenly appeared on Long Yuan's kind and honest face.

"Heh... Great Xia has been too weak these years. Those damn people are getting too big for their britches."

"They can bully and scheme against our Great Xia people however they want!"

"I just won't let them succeed!"

After speaking, Long Yuan directly shouted:

"Sky Curtain, I want to exchange an Anti-Erasure Privilege Card!"

【Sky Curtain Notification: Esteemed Challenger, Sky Curtain detects that your condition meets the purchase requirements for the Anti-Erasure Privilege Card! However, Sky Curtain warns you that after purchase, your level will drop. Do you confirm the exchange?】

"Confirm!"

【Esteemed Challenger, your points are now less than ten million, you have been downgraded to LV3.】

【Anti-Erasure Privilege Card exchange complete!】

Instantly, a golden light flashed from Long Yuan's head, shooting directly to the dome above.

"Use this privilege card directly on the Great Xia instance Designer, which is Designer Lin Ye of the Winter is Coming instance!"

【Sky Curtain Notification: Anti-Erasure Privilege Card has been used! Anti-Erasure Privilege has been activated for Lin Ye!】

...

The moment Long Yuan used this privilege card, the entire Great Xia Settlement underwent drastic changes!

The earth's crust was constantly shaking, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the city, originally full of vitality, were now withering one after another amidst the violent tremors.

Infrastructure was gradually dissolving under the irresistible force of the earthquake, like a disassembled puzzle, slowly turning into broken mosaic fragments.

In this instant, the appearance of the Settlement seemed to have regressed thirty years.

All of this was due to Long Yuan's level drop.

TOP50 Designers would bring various benefits to their respective Settlements, and each rank increase brought immense improvements!

Now, Long Yuan's level drop caused the Sky Curtain's resource inclination towards the Great Xia Settlement to significantly decrease.

"Elder Long!"

"Elder Long!"

It wasn't until Long Yuan decisively completed this matter that everyone truly realized what it meant.

This could be said to be an incredibly huge gamble, staking Great Xia's current fortune on Lin Ye!

"Why are you all so agitated?"

"I'm not dead, it's just ten million points. This old man still has quite a lot of points left."

"Haven't you all been bullied enough by other Settlements these past years? Can't you see now that this Lin Ye is someone our Settlement should stake everything on?!"

As he spoke, Long Yuan revealed a somewhat proud smile again.

"Since it's a gamble, I'm also betting Lin Ye won't lose a single point. Wouldn't that mean we'd make a huge profit?"
