78: Start designing Winter is Coming!

While watching the Sky Curtain Hero Ranking, Lin Ye also noticed several other rankings on the Sky Curtain.

On the Dungeon Sky Ranking, Raging Sea still firmly held the top position.

This was only natural, given Raging Sea's record of eliminating 200,000 Dahe Clan members, and today was a day of general amnesty, so no other dungeons could be opened besides Raging Sea.

Therefore, there was nothing surprising about Raging Sea retaining its title.

Moreover, Lin Ye was certain that Raging Sea would dominate the rankings for a very long time, until his next dungeon was released.

Besides the Dungeon Difficulty Sky Ranking, Lin Ye quickly scanned and saw several other smaller rankings where Raging Sea also successfully made it onto the list.

For example, the Dungeon Single Duration Ranking, Dungeon Total Participants Ranking, Dungeon Elimination Count Ranking, and so on.

The only one that truly captured Lin Ye's attention was the Dungeon Elimination Count Ranking.

Raging Sea had actually made it onto this ranking as well.

It's important to know that the data for this ranking is actually a constantly accumulating value, showing the total number of people eliminated by a dungeon from its opening until now.

Some dungeons have been active for over ten or even decades, accumulating a significant number.

For Raging Sea, a dungeon that had only been open for three days, to make it onto such a veteran ranking truly showed a momentum of pushing the old waves onto the beach.

This also indirectly illustrated one thing: under the huge power gap between the peak Five Great Powers and S1 technical level Challengers, all so-called time accumulation and seniority would be flattened.

Lin Ye was fully capable of advancing to LV4, surpassing those so-called predecessors!

He would surpass those white gloves supported by major powers, as well as the legacies of noble financial groups, one by one.

Withdrawing his gaze, he tossed the beverage can aside, stretched lazily, and roused his spirits.

From yesterday until now, he had been resting, and it was time to dedicate himself to work again.

Raging Sea was already complete and didn't need any more additions from him; his next plan was to complete Winter is Coming as quickly as possible.

Raging Sea was just the beginning; the Five Great Powers series had even more exciting things to bring to the people of this world.

As for why Winter is Coming was being released first, the reason was simple.

Because Great Wall Watch was much more complex and difficult than Winter is Coming.

Winter is Coming primarily focused on the Mao Xiong Country's simple and brutal approach, directly engaging with a Steel Torrent of military hardware.

Great Wall Watch, however, was much more intricate, involving more mechanisms.

Winter is Coming alone would be enough for the people of this world to continue suffering.

Another important reason was that once Great Wall Watch was involved, it would tie into a very important special event in the Dragon Country: the South Heaven Gate Plan.

This was not something that could be done overnight, and with the current technical level of Azure Star, releasing this too early might not even pass the Sky Curtain's review...

There always needed to be a little bit of an adaptation period for this world.

Just as Lin Ye was about to enter the Genesis Space, he heard the familiar prompt from the Sky Curtain.

“Dear Dungeon Designer, since its release, your dungeon Raging Sea has been reported by a large number of Challengers. After the Sky Curtain’s strict review and real-time evaluation of your dungeon Raging Sea’s three activation statuses… the Sky Curtain believes that with the current strength of the Azure Star people, there is no possibility of clearing Raging Sea.”

Hearing such words from the Sky Curtain, Lin Ye's heart sank considerably.

It was just as he had thought; the Sky Curtain indeed found issues with Raging Sea's difficulty settings and was about to begin a series of restrictions.

“The Sky Curtain has decided to conduct a comprehensive three-day review of the dungeon Raging Sea to eliminate any potential loopholes within the dungeon… During this period, Raging Sea will be temporarily classified as a Restricted Dungeon.”

“Restricted Dungeon?” Lin Ye couldn't help but ask.

“Sky Curtain Prompt: Restricted Dungeons are the highest-level restricted dungeons on Azure Star. Challengers cannot enter Restricted Dungeons, and Dungeon Designers also cannot earnintegral rewards from them.”

Lin Ye understood; the Sky Curtain's meaning was essentially to temporarily put Raging Sea in a black box.

“Sky Curtain, I want to know, will Raging Sea be able to reopen after these three days?”

“This dungeon was previously reviewed by you before being released onto Azure Star. If you delete it, that would be too unfair!”

“Sky Curtain Prompt: Please rest assured, Dungeon Designer, after passing the Sky Curtain’s ultimate review, the dungeon will be re-released onto Azure Star; the Sky Curtain will not delete any reasonable and innovative excellent dungeons, especially dungeons like Raging Sea, which are of great significance to Azure Star.”

Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it wasn't forcibly deleted, anything was fine!

As for the so-called review, Lin Ye was certain that the logic of his every setting was very rigorous. As long as the Sky Curtain's program remained unchanged, even if it reviewed it ten thousand times, the result would be the same.

“Sky Curtain, then I want to know, is there any compensation for me, the Dungeon Designer, during this three-day restriction period?” Lin Ye continued to ask.

“...”

“The Sky Curtain will extend all privileges for Challengers, such as Dungeon Exemption Cards and Technical Acceleration Cards, by three days! These three days will not cause any loss to Challengers.”

Hearing these words from the Sky Curtain, Lin Ye was satisfied.

This way, he wouldn't be at a loss.

Five days had passed since Raging Sea began development, meaning the Exemption Card still had 25 days left.

The Sky Curtain granted an additional three days, so that meant he still had 28 days.

Lin Ye currently didn't want to enter anyone else's dungeons; his top priority right now was to complete dungeon creation.

Without exemption protection, any random person might pull him into a dungeon.

Even if he could easily clear it, the result would only be a few hundred points, a pure waste of time.

He needed to upgrade to LV4 to completely avoid being actively chosen by others to enter dungeons, so Lin Ye had to raise his level within this timeframe, no matter what.

“I'll use these three days of free time to complete all of Winter is Coming’s dungeon production!”

Without any hesitation, Lin Ye directly entered the Genesis Space and began working.

Seeing the long-unseen blue planet in the void, Lin Ye's mood also brightened.

Thanks to his continuous refinement of this planet, the map of the Mao Xiong Country was already complete.

At a glance, the snowfields, glaciers, and the three main cities of Volgograd, Saint Petersburg, and Moscow were all built with lifelike detail.

The next step was to add various powerful weapons to the Mao Xiong Country and set up the mission mechanisms.
