186: Conditions for promotion to LV5!

In short, there are restrictions on the weapons that can be carried into a Challenger's instance; it's not like if you have ten thousand tanks in your own instance, you can bring all of them into someone else's.

To expand your weapon capacity, you need to buy cards to increase your storage.

Looking at it this way, when Emperor Takakawa led his clan to attack the Raging Sea and Surging Waves instance, he must have bought quite a few cards.

That old fellow certainly spared no expense.

After understanding this concept of expansion, Lin Ye glanced at the mall again, then directly exited it.

At this stage, he had no interest in challenging other people's instances, so this weapon expansion was meaningless to him.

As for research acceleration cards, he still had unused time from the Sky Curtain's initial gift, so he didn't need to buy any.

The only thing that was somewhat useful to him was thePoints Doubler Card (Score Doubler Card).

But that item was simply too expensive; it required one million points for just one day!

Lin Ye currently had no spare money to buy such a thing.

It would be best if he could get such items for free from the Sky Curtain.

Even if he couldn't get them for free, if he truly needed one in the future, he would only exchange for one at the most critical moment.

[Sky Curtain Hint: Esteemed Instance Designer, all new LV4 content has been introduced to you by the Sky Curtain!]

[Next, regarding the difficulty of Winter is Coming, the Sky Curtain must conduct a three-day re-evaluation...]

Well.

What was coming, still came.

Everything was within Lin Ye's expectations.

Previously, Raging Sea had undergone a three-day in-depth instance review by the Sky Curtain due to too many eliminations.

It was also temporarily classified as a restricted instance, suspended for three days, and only released after adjusting the number of participants.

Now, Winter is Coming had even more eliminations, and its difficulty seemed higher, so it naturally couldn't be an exception.

As for the consequences, Lin Ye had already guessed them.

Once it was released, it would most likely become a fixed source of income for him, just like Raging Sea.

"Sky Curtain, I am willing to accept your re-evaluation; everything is for the sake of providing a better instance experience for the Azure Star people."

"However, in less than a week, both of my instances have been reviewed, which has severely affected my point acquisition."

[Sky Curtain Hint: To compensate the Instance Designer for the loss, the Sky Curtain will extend the Designer's Score Doubler Card validity period by 15 days! At the same time, the Score Doubler will be upgraded to Super Doubler!]

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Lin Ye smiled; this wasn't bad at all.

He had just talked about getting things for free, and the Sky Curtain immediately gave him an opportunity.

...

Ending his conversation with the Sky Curtain, Lin Ye walked out of the Cliff Villa to relax his mind and body.

He had been staring at the live broadcast for too long and was somewhat tired.

He slowly looked up at the dome.

Various ranking data were displayed there.

Just as Raging Sea had dominated the rankings before, Winter is Coming was now furiously dominating them.

After this battle, Winter is Coming successfully topped dozens of lists, including the instance single-elimination count, instance weapon capacity, and instance technical content rankings.

Even on the Sky Ranking, which symbolizes instance difficulty, the Winter is Coming instance successfully unseated Raging Sea to become No. 1.

This feeling of defeating himself was indeed quite satisfying.

However... this instance ranking would certainly change quickly next.

Because among the Five Great Powers' instances, the ultimate instance, Great Wall Watch, was about to be released.

When this instance comes out, all the rankings will undoubtedly be rewritten once more!

After looking at these instance-related data, Lin Ye then looked at the Challenger points Hero Ranking.

[No. 34; Minamoto no Yorimitsu; Race: Dahe Clan; Level: LV4; Instance Works: "Shogunate General," "Bushido."]

[No. 35; Lin Ye; Race: Great Xia Clan; Level: LV4; Instance Works: "Earth Online: Raging Sea of the Five Great Powers," "Earth Online: The Five Constants: Winter is Coming."]

[No. 36; Shaka; Race: Zulu; Level: LV3; Instance Works: "The Struggle of the Black People," "Lion City Oakley Mountain!"]

...

This time, his level had significantly jumped, and he had successfully climbed quite a few ranks.

He became the doorman for LV4.

In fact, at this stage, Lin Ye's attention to such rankings was no longer high.

There were currently a total of 35 top LV4 and above Instance Designers on Azure Star; these were the strongest among billions of people!

This meant that whether you were No. 1 or No. 35, you would be the focus of the world's attention.

Moreover, the highest level was LV4, which meant that Lin Ye now had no difference in permissions and privileges compared to Azure Star's No. 1.

"Sky Curtain."

Lin Ye once again summoned the Sky Curtain program, because he thought of a particularly important question.

"May I ask how to upgrade to LV5?"

"Also, what permissions will I have when I upgrade to LV5?"

...

[Sky Curtain Hint: In the history of Azure Star's humanity, there has never been an LV5 Instance Designer; LV4 is already the highest existing level! Instead of considering this, Designer, you should first strive to reach TOP1 on the Hero Ranking.]

"But it must exist, right?"

"I am already LV4 now; it shouldn't be too much to ask about the promotion conditions for LV5, should it?"

...

[Sky Curtain Hint: The Sky Curtain has never answered this question for any Designer, but given your excellent performance, there is indeed a possibility of you becoming the first LV5 on Azure Star, so the Sky Curtain can answer this question.]

[There are two conditions for promotion to LV5:]

[1. Personal points reach one hundred million!]

[2. Successfully challenge the Sky Curtain!]

Challenge the Sky Curtain?!

This made Lin Ye tense up, somewhat startled.

In Lin Ye's understanding, the Sky Curtain was actually an advanced program controlling Azure Star, or even a tool for a higher-level civilization in the universe to rule Earth.

And instances were a specific means of controlling Azure Star.

But now the Sky Curtain told him that the Sky Curtain itself could also be challenged.

"What... what does this mean?"

[Sky Curtain Hint: At the current stage of the Instance Designer's comprehension, it is impossible to understand many of the Sky Curtain's mechanisms. When your personal points reach one hundred million, the Sky Curtain will naturally introduce them in detail.]

Lin Ye took a deep breath.

He hadn't expected that not asking was fine, but asking actually revealed a big matter.

It seemed that this world he had transmigrated to was even more complex than he had imagined!

One hundred million points!

This was truly an astronomical figure; for Lin Ye, who currently only had ten million points, there was still a very long way to go.

Suddenly, he was filled with motivation again.

Sometimes fear comes from the unknown, but now that he knew a little bit of the truth, he had a goal!

To reach one hundred million points.

Relying solely on Raging Sea and Winter is Coming would definitely not be enough.

The pinnacle of the Five Great Powers, Great Wall Watch, must be put on the agenda immediately!
