31: Ito Hidetaka regains his confidence

Inside the Raging Sea dungeon.

After a brief silence, Ito Hidekazu burst into laughter, looking at his fleet that had vanished.

"Hahahahaha."

"Non-combat mode, how ridiculous! Lin Ye is really treating the dungeon as child's play."

"This Lin Ye is indirectly giving us a chance to clear the dungeon."

Yamashiro Kojiro, seeing Ito Hidekazu's confident expression, also smiled and politely asked:

"Mr. Ito, do you have a strategy to conquer the dungeon?"

"I don't have an idea yet, after all, we don't fully understand the rules. I just feel that Lin Ye's non-combat mode has significantly lowered the difficulty of the Raging Sea dungeon."

"All weapons disabled, doesn't that mean his own Extinguish Country Fleet, his own Aircraft Carrier, are also disabled!"

"Without the disparity in military weapons, our chances of clearing this dungeon will skyrocket."

Ito Hidekazu was truly relieved.

In fact, the reason he had been afraid of the Raging Sea before was because he knew the power of the TF58 Extermination Fleet, which consisted of hundreds of warships in the Raging Sea.

Therefore, for this dungeon, he had only one strategy: no matter what, he had to avoid direct combat with the Extinguish Country Fleet.

The method Ito Hidekazu had previously conceived of skipping the mission and directly attacking the Eagle Country homeland was precisely for this reason.

Now, Lin Ye had actually sealed off his own Extinguish Country Fleet.

It was obvious that if everyone's military weapons were sealed, Lin Ye, who possessed more powerful weapons, would definitely be at a disadvantage.

This strange operation could be said to have directly reduced the difficulty of Raging Sea to zero; in Ito Hidekazu's eyes, this dungeon was no longer an inferno difficulty, but a genuinely easy difficulty.

A dungeon that doesn't rely on military power, doesn't rely on technologicalRolling, and purely tests logic and operation, to put it nicely, is called 'equality for all beings'; to put it bluntly, it's demeaning oneself!

Because if it's purely based on brains, there's essentially no difference between an LV0 noob and a high-level expert.

An LV0 might even stumble upon success, defeating a master with wild punches, and unexpectedly clearing the dungeon.

Lin Ye probably didn't consider that most of the twenty thousand people who entered the dungeon this time did not possess the high-level authorization to bring weapons into the dungeon.

So, whether weapons were sealed or not, it made no difference to them.

On the contrary, these students and professors from Heiankyo University were all sharp-minded.

It could be said that they were perfectly suited for this non-combat mode.

The Emperor clearly hadn't thought so much when he made that decision, but he inadvertently stumbled upon the most suitable team.

"Lin Ye... you are truly too arrogant." Ito Hidekazu emerged from his previous nervous and uneasy state, suddenly reinvigorated.

"You will pay the price for your self-righteousness."

After Ito Hidekazu finished speaking, the other Challengers surrounding him also became enthusiastic.

"Mr. Ito is right."

"Without facing the Aircraft Carrier fleet, our chances of clearing the dungeon are very high!"

"What we've been studying in school is economic operation models; it's our specialty. If it's a real economic war, we are confident!"

"As expected of Mr. Ito, his insight is truly keen. Others only noticed the novelty of this mode, but Mr. Ito could see the essence of the matter at a glance."

The dungeon spectators, hearing Ito's insights at this moment, also couldn't help but start discussing.

"What a pity, does this mean we won't get to see the famous Extinguish Country Fleet this time?"

"Why do I also feel that Mr. Ito Hidekazu's words make some sense? What's the point of a dungeon without weapons?"

"This time, they won't really let these guys exploit a loophole, will they...?"

"If Ito Hidekazu really wins in this way and acquires the technology from the dungeon, it can definitely be attributed to a dungeon design flaw."

"I really don't know what Lord Ye is up to."

"To the previous person, don't think things are so simple. After all, in this dungeon, the Eagle Country's economic level is far higher than the Challenger's side. It won't be that easy to surpass Eagle Country economically, will it?"

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

At this moment, Lin Ye, having just finished purchasing daily necessities, was leisurely drinking a beverage in his car.

He casually glanced at the live broadcast of his dungeon.

He happened to see Ito Hidekazu's grand pronouncements and the various arguments among the spectators.

Lin Ye could only shake his head helplessly.

"You guys, you really think the Raging Sea is too simple."

"If it were truly that mindless, why would I have included such a mode in the dungeon?"

Lin Ye was a little disappointed, disappointed at how shallow this world's understanding of dungeons was.

From most people's perspective, the strength of a dungeon was entirely determined by the quality of the military weapons within it.

This was not wrong, of course, but it was too one-sided.

Although Lin Ye had never created a dungeon in his previous life, he had played many games.

The difficulty of a game and the cleverness of its level design were not entirely dependent on hard data like game size or numerical values.

In his previous life, "Getting Over It" and "Sheep a Sheep" were small games that looked very simple, even a bit childish, yet they stumped many gaming experts.

As long as the mechanics are well-designed, even without any weapons, a dungeon can still be made very difficult.

Especially for the Raging Sea dungeon.

The reason Eagle Country could become one of the Five Great Powers was only partly due to its military strength.

The various hegemonies that arose from its military strength were the true foundation of Eagle Country.

The hegemony of the US dollar allows Eagle Country to control the entire world's monetary structure, arbitrarily harvesting wealth from around the globe.

Making the entire world pay for Eagle Country!

The hegemony of media allows Eagle Country to control the direction of global public opinion, thereby controlling universal values.

Under Eagle Country's propaganda, all their actions are given the title of justice.

Under this kind of brainwashing, people in hostile countries might even believe that Eagle Country is right.

The hegemony of oil allows Eagle Country to control the world's energy supply, completely linking oil to the US dollar, which is equivalent to firmly grasping the lifeline of other countries' industrial development!

The hegemony of technology makes Eagle Country the undisputed world leader in high-precision technology; in any field of research, Eagle Country is basically at the forefront of the world.

When Lin Ye set up the Raging Sea dungeon, he focused on two main aspects.

One was naval power, and the other was the setup of hegemony!

In Lin Ye's view, with the added power of Eagle Country's hegemony, the difficulty of an economic war was even comparable to that of a military war.

"It seems it's time to let this world understand that a war without smoke can also be terrifying."

Lin Ye took a sip of his drink, then exited the live stream and slowly started the car engine.
