191: Kneel down to Lin Ye!
While Park Chengwan and others were pondering how to renege on their bet with Lin Ye, Lin Ye was racking his brain in the Genesis Space.
Unconsciously, one day had passed in reality since the Winter is Coming instance ended.
It must be said that the content volume of Great Wall Watch was truly enormous, arguably more than the Raging Sea and Winter is Coming instances combined.
By this design time, the Winter is Coming instance should have been mostly completed, but Great Wall Watch was still just the tip of the iceberg.
However, good things come to those who wait, and now Lin Ye no longer had to worry about his life, so he could remain calm.
Ding ding ding ding ding ding!
A series of urgent phone rings pulled Lin Ye out of the Genesis Space.
It was a call from Ding Chang.
"Hello, Director Ding," Lin Ye said straightforwardly.
"Mr. Lin, thank you."
"The victory of Winter is Coming is crucial for the Great Xia Settlement! I represent the Dragon Abyss Commander, and all major military regions and research institutes in thanking you."
"You have brought new hope to the Great Xia Settlement."
"Great Xia will also protect you."
Ding Chang also got straight to the point without any rambling.
"It is I who should thank the Dragon Abyss Commander. I will keep in mind that privilege card with ten million points."
"Mr. Lin, I won't exchange pleasantries with you."
"This matter is of great importance. Please carefully consider the bet between you and South Korea, and do not be deceived by the Koreans' one-sided statements."
"In these years, the Great Xia Settlement has suffered many losses due to its tolerance, kindness, and inherent lack of belligerence."
Lin Ye smiled. He naturally understood Ding Chang's meaning.
Ding Chang was afraid that he would act out of kindness, be moved by pity and feminine compassion, and foolishly let the Koreans off the hook.
That was obviously impossible.
This showed that Ding Chang still didn't understand him well enough.
From the moment Lin Ye transmigrated to this instance, he had been clear in his mind.
In this cruel world, there was simply no such thing as forgiveness or tolerance.
Every day, countless people were erased, just like Zhao Jianyu before. People who were alive and well yesterday might be crushed into a mosaic by the Sky Curtain tomorrow.
Any act of a 'saint' was shameful in this world.
Especially between different Settlements, there was no friendship to speak of, only exchanges of interests.
When interests clashed, it was either you die or I perish!
Lin Ye had always clearly remembered what Park Chengwan had said in the bet about ceding the Settlement to him.
It was just that he was currently engrossed in the design of the Great Wall Watch instance and hadn't thought about settling scores yet.
"Don't worry, Director Ding."
"I will resolve the matter of the South Korea Settlement," Lin Ye replied calmly.
"This is Mr. Lin's business, and any action is your freedom... If you have time, you might want to look at the news from South Korea."
"That way you will make a more accurate judgment."
After ending the call with Ding Chang, Lin Ye stretched and directly turned on the television in the living room.
He really wanted to see what news South Korea had now.
He considered it a way to relax outside of instance design.
After watching the first few Korean news reports, Lin Ye felt a wave of satisfaction.
[Goryeo Song Co., Ltd: According to statistics, the South Goryeo Settlement lost 400,000 elite combatants in this Winter is Coming instance! Azure Star's ranking plummeted!]
[Goryeo Song Co., Ltd: Kim Geun-seok, head of the Kim family chaebol, has been erased in the Winter is Coming instance! This is the highest record of points deducted at one time in Azure Star's history!]
[Gangnam Daily: Former Kim family head Kim Chan-hoon attempted to harm Lee Tae-yong, head of the Li family, at Lotte Tower yesterday and has been sanctioned by the Sky Curtain!]
[Goryeo Special Report: The Kim family has been completely annihilated after losing Kim Geun-seok and Kim Chan-hoon.]
[Goryeo Special Report: Lee Tae-yong, head of the Li family, has been downgraded to LV1! The Li family is no longer one of the four great families of Goryeo!]
[South Korea News: Since the end of the Winter is Coming instance yesterday, Korean citizens have been gathering and demonstrating in the streets, advocating for Park Chengwan to step down!]
[...]
With the defeat in Winter is Coming, the South Korea Settlement suffered the most.
Such a tragic outcome was entirely in line with Lin Ye's expectations.
Previously, Kim Geun-seok and the Kim family had harbored murderous intentions towards him, constantly provoking him, and even using the method of erasing Zhao Jianyu to intimidate him when he didn't respond to their challenge immediately.
Such characters had to be eliminated.
It could be said that the Mao Xiongs Fury buff in Winter is Coming was specifically prepared for the Kim family. Lin Ye had intended for Kim Geun-seok to die from the very beginning.
As for Kim Geun-seok's father being sanctioned by the Sky Curtain for intending to kill, that could only be said to be well-deserved.
The Kim family was not good, and the four great families of Goryeo, plus Commander Park Chengwan, were all birds of a feather.
They had all harbored ill intentions towards Lin Ye, so their current decline was their just deserts.
[South Korea News: Former Li family head Lee Tae-yong admitted that he alone bears the responsibility for the instance failure! Lee Tae-yong also stated that if it weren't for his operational errors, the alliance would have had a chance to conquer Winter is Coming.]
When he saw this news, coupled with Lee Tae-yong's solemn expression in the accompanying image, Lin Ye couldn't help but laugh.
He thought that the Koreans' shameless nature hadn't changed at all.
They were almost scattered, yet they still didn't forget to talk tough.
However, Lin Ye was too lazy to care about such matters. If they were willing to go and conquer the Winter is Coming instance again, it would be a great thing for him.
It meant he could still earn points.
Lin Ye scrolled down and finally stopped on a video featuring Park Chengwan, the commander of the South Korea Settlement.
In the video, Park Chengwan looked very sincere, standing on a very official platform, with Choi Tae-won, Park Jung-young, and other high-ranking Koreans standing behind him.
"First, I want to clarify to everyone on Azure Star that all previous actions of the Kim family slandering Mr. Lin Ye were the Kim family's schemes, and I was kept in the dark."
"Mr. Lin Ye has no Korean blood, nor has he ever plagiarized any technological achievements of South Korea."
"All the above statements were deliberate slanders by the Kim family. Kim Geun-seok and Kim Chan-hoon's fate is their own doing!"
As he spoke, Park Chengwan suddenly dropped to his knees.
The people nearby rushed over to help him up, but Park Chengwan directly stopped them.
"Commander, no!"
"Kneeling is our Goryeo's highest etiquette. How... how can you do this!"
"This is Kim Geun-seok's fault, it has nothing to do with you!"
"Shut up!" Park Chengwan roared.
"I am the commander. If something happens, I naturally have to take responsibility!"
"We owe Mr. Lin Ye, and I must apologize to Mr. Lin with the highest etiquette!!"
