15: Which level is Lin Ye on?

Upon hearing Ito Hidekazu's words, all the Challengers present were also invigorated.

As a top Designer genius, what Ito Hidekazu said did indeed have some truth to it.

If one were to calm down and look at it, this instance mission was actually not that difficult.

At the very least, it seemed inconsistent with the Hell difficulty of the instance.

"Well said! Mr. Ito is truly a genius among geniuses."

"I guess the reason this instance is Hell difficulty is just because the map is big, but the actual mission difficulty isn't high."

"Could it be that I'm going to get a free win this time?! It feels great to be carried."

"Hahaha, if I can follow a big shot and conquer a Hell difficulty instance, I can also advance to LV1 and become an Instance Designer."

All the Challengers still in the instance were now full of confidence, no longer feeling the frustration they had before.

Prince Singh walked forward with a smile, shaking hands warmly with Ito Hidekazu.

"As expected of Mr. Ito Hidekazu, your words are well-reasoned."

"For this instance, I am willing to hand over all my warships for you to command, hoping you can lead us through the instance."

"If we can clear this instance, this prince's prestige within the Asan Clan will also rise significantly."

According to common practice, the commander, or leader, in an instance is usually held by the person with the highest level and combat power.

Although Sky Curtain did not explicitly stipulate this, it was a universally accepted fact.

Because high-level individuals generally possess more combat weapons and have ample experience in conquering instances.

However, this prince of the Asan Clan was an exception.

The Asan Clan's royal family, though foolish and wealthy, bought many weapons with points, and their actual experience was not extensive.

Therefore, his decision to voluntarily hand over command to Ito Hidekazu was indeed a wise choice.

"Excellent! Thank you for your trust, Prince." Ito Hidekazu said with a smile.

"Does Mr. Ito have any combat plans now?" Singh couldn't help but ask.

"The combat plan is simple: two words, 'surprise attack'."

"Surprise attack?"

Ito Hidekazu's face showed a very proud smile, as if everything had been seen through and understood by him.

"Prince Singh, please pay attention to the mission content. It only asks us to destroy Pearl Harbor Military Base, but it doesn't say we need to destroy all of the military base's naval power."

"We can completely launch a direct surprise attack to blow up the military base, catching the enemy off guard."

"Or, we can first lure away all military forces, then send in a surprise troop to directly blow up the military Base."

In fact, Ito Hidekazu's idea was also thanks to Lin Ye's performance in the Battle of the Imperial Sea instance.

Ito Hidekazu's words directly opened a new world for Singh.

He hadn't expected it could be played this way!

But if one looked closely at the mission description, it was indeed possible to operate in this manner.

"Brilliant! Mr. Ito, your wisdom fills me with admiration."

Prince Singh couldn't help but exclaim.

If Ito Hidekazu's combat strategy was feasible, then the difficulty of this instance would be greatly reduced.

It could even be said to have no difficulty at all.

"From this point, it's clear that Lin Ye simply has no talent for instance design." Singh slowly stroked his beard and said directly.

"He has obvious flaws in his mission design; he's simply all show and can't compare to Mr. Ito at all."

The other Challengers also excitedly echoed his sentiments.

"Luckily, we didn't exit the instance early. Those who exited early are really suckers, hahaha."

"That's great. As long as we follow Mr. Ito's command, we can definitely conquer this instance."

Inside the instance, enthusiasm was high, and the live stream's bullet comments also began to boil.

【o(*￣︶￣*)o Running into Mr. Ito, Lin Ye really has the worst luck ever.】

【It's said that Mr. Ito was actively pulled into the instance by Lin Ye; isn't that just asking for trouble?】

【Lin Ye, this young man, became complacent after clearing Battle of the Imperial Sea. The map is set so large, but the mission is unremarkable. What a pity.】

【That's why I say, new Designers shouldn't be overambitious for their first instance design. It's better to start with the simplest ones than to try to run before you can walk.】

【If you ask me, the Great Xia Clan simply has no instance design talent. When they encounter a genius from our Great Harmony Clan, even Longyuan coming wouldn't help!】

【Above, stop barking! Lin Ye's instance hasn't even shown its true power yet, so why say it's no good?】

【Exactly, after all, it's a Hell instance, it can't be that simple...】

The bullet comments devolved into a heated argument, with most people holding a pessimistic view of Lin Ye's instance.

The reason for this was that Ito Hidekazu's analysis was very reasonable, giving the impression of striking directly at the core.

Some Great Harmony Clan spectators also started arguing directly with the Great Xia Clan, engaging in a furious exchange of insults.

Of course, this kind of inter-racial shouting is common on Azure Star. Sky Curtain will ban some overly aggressive individuals, temporarily revoking their right to send bullet comments in instances.

After a period of muting, the live stream's bullet comments finally eased up a bit.

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

At this moment.

Outside the instance.

Lin Ye was watching the situation inside his instance while enjoying authentic sesame pancakes and skewers.

The wave of surrenders from the Challengers inside the instance had already earned him 300 points.

He immediately spent one point to order some barbecue to enjoy.

In his previous life, he loved this dish, and he hadn't expected Azure Star to have this delicacy as well.

Looking at Ito Hidekazu's insights published in the instance and the discussions in the bullet comments, Lin Ye's lips curved into a slight smile.

"Seeing that you all chose to continue the mission, I'm relieved."

Actually, Ito Hidekazu was right about one thing.

Lin Ye did put some thought into the mission settings, employing some tricks and illusions.

It was just that it was many times more complex than Ito Hidekazu imagined.

What Ito Hidekazu was thinking now was precisely what Lin Ye wanted him to think.

Lin Ye wasn't afraid of these people taking Pearl Harbor; on the contrary, he was afraid that these people would be too useless and all choose to surrender.

That would be a real loss for him.

Destroying Pearl Harbor was merely the prerequisite mission for Raging Sea.

Once this mission was completed, the true Raging Sea would descend.

Setting prerequisite missions was the essence of this Raging Sea!

The scale of Raging Sea was simply too large; if it were directly thrown at these Challengers all at once, they would only choose to surrender.

So, a relatively easy prerequisite mission had to be set first to give these Challengers some hope. Continuously giving hope, and then continuously crushing that hope.

Moreover, in Lin Ye's settings,

There was only an opportunity to surrender in the initial stage; once the mission officially began, there would be no chance to go back on their decision.

They had to experience Raging Sea completely before it could end!

Ito Hidekazu thought he had Lin Ye figured out, but little did he know he was on the first floor, while Lin Ye was already on the fifth.
