87: It determines both superiority and inferiority, and also life and death!
Just as the Sky Curtain began its review of Winter is Coming, the scrolling bullet comments about the dungeon's status also started appearing on the dome overhead.
The 1000-person dungeon "Swamp Storm," designed by Designer Parkinson, has entered the review stage.
The 2000-person dungeon "Fog Forest Blitzkrieg," designed by Designer John Pust, has entered the review stage.
The 10000-person dungeon "Earth Online: The Five Constants: Winter is Coming," designed by Designer Lin Ye, has entered the review stage.
...
Due to Lin Ye's current TOP50 status, the bullet comments about him were specially highlighted with a shimmering golden effect.
At this moment, on the dome above, this golden bullet comment stood out remarkably amidst the many passing gray comments.
This was the prestige of a high-level expert.
Like the brilliance among the stars.
Immediately, Azure Star began to boil with excitement.
Reports and comments quickly appeared on the internet and television.
"Lord Ye actually released a new dungeon so quickly! My goodness, is he that ruthless? Can't he let everyone live a few more days?"
"I remember Raging Sea was also a 10,000-person dungeon at the beginning. Now this Winter is Coming is also a 10,000-person dungeon. Does that mean the difficulty of this dungeon will be the same as Raging Sea?"
"Only three days! A new dungeon has been created. Lord Ye's creation ability is truly abnormal."
"Raging Sea completely changed the ecosystem of Azure Star. I wonder what Winter is Coming will bring?"
"I just pray I don't get pulled into this dungeon! God bless!"
"Even if you're unlucky enough to be pulled in, it doesn't matter. According to Lord Ye's habit, he will set up a surrender option at the beginning of the dungeon. At that time, just surrender directly... If you don't even have 20 points, then disregard what I said."
"From this perspective, Lord Ye designed such a legendary dungeon, yet he left an option for surrender for everyone. He is actually so kind..."
This world was just like this. Just three days ago, a group of people were calling Lin Ye a million-person butcher.
As a result of three days of fermentation, Lin Ye became a kind person.
Ultimately, people in this world still admire strength, because the law of the jungle is the eternal rule of this world.
...
Two hours later, the Sky Curtain gave its reply.
Congratulations, Designer! Your dungeon [Earth Online: The Five Constants: Winter is Coming] has successfully passed the Sky Curtain's review!
...
Dungeon rating: Infernal Grade!
You can now open the dungeon at any time and designate some Challengers to enter this dungeon! As per previous rules, the Designer can designate twenty percent of specific Challengers to enter the dungeon.
Another Infernal Grade!
Everything was as Lin Ye had expected.
Moreover, perhaps because some of the dungeon materials had already been reviewed before, this dungeon review was much faster than the previous one.
Congratulations, Designer! You have created the second Infernal Grade dungeon belonging to this world. To reward you for continuously creating high-difficulty dungeons for Azure Star, the Sky Curtain hereby rewards the Designer with a Double Points Card (one day).
Double Points Card: The Dungeon Designer's profit points from their own dungeon are doubled! In addition, if the Designer acts as a Challenger to conquer other people's dungeons, the points reward obtained for completing tasks will also be doubled!
This was a good item!
At least for Lin Ye right now, it was an absolutely good item!
Compared to the previous Amnesty Card and Research Acceleration Card, this Double Points Card was the most straightforward and effective.
Perhaps some weaker individuals would find such a card useless, but for someone like Lin Ye, who could harvest a massive amount of points at once, it would definitely have a miraculous effect.
Taking the last dungeon's earnings as an example, if he had had an Acceleration Card then, Lin Ye could have gained an additional 2 million points.
The only regret was that the Sky Curtain was too stingy, only granting one day of usage.
This meant that Lin Ye had to make good use of this one day. Raging Sea could not yield a significant amount of points at this stage, so... Winter is Coming must be activated within this day!
Lin Ye pondered for a moment and then had a plan.
"Sky Curtain, I want to set Winter is Coming to open in one hour! During this hour, I hope to allow the people of Azure Star to sign up freely."
"Then, as for Challengers, I only need to designate one person, and that is Kim Geun-seok of the South Goryeo Settlement, ranked fifty-first on the Hero Ranking!"
Sky Curtain Reminder: Esteemed Designer, for the first opening of the dungeon, there is no cooldown time. The Designer can directly designate twenty percent of the Challengers to enter the dungeon, after which the Sky Curtain can immediately conduct random draws.
Designer, do you confirm that you want to postpone the dungeon's opening by one hour and enable the self-registration channel?
Lin Ye clearly understood the Sky Curtain's meaning.
For the first opening of a dungeon, normally, the self-registration channel could be directly closed.
Except for those designated by the Designer, all others could be randomly designated by the Sky Curtain.
This way, it could ensure that all Challengers were random. In fact, it was a form of protection for the dungeon's first opening.
It could greatly reduce the success rate of Challengers clearing the dungeon on their first attempt.
But Lin Ye didn't want that, because in that case, he could only designate at most twenty percent of the people to enter.
It was simply not exciting enough!
Moreover, if they were scattered individuals, most would likely choose to surrender directly, which would greatly affect Lin Ye.
He just wanted to leave this loophole, waiting for the rabbit, to make Kim Geun-seok and his Kim family chaebol group voluntarily jump into the trap.
"I confirm, Sky Curtain! Please immediately open the dungeon registration channel for me and open the dungeon in one hour."
Okay! Esteemed Designer! Your dungeon registration has begun! All information will be announced on the dome above!
At the same time, a golden bullet comment appeared on the dome above.
Lin Ye's Infernal Grade dungeon Winter is Coming has passed the Sky Curtain's review. The dungeon will officially open in one hour. Challengers can actively sign up for the dungeon!
Lin Ye also didn't idle. He immediately took out his phone and started recording a video of himself.
"Kim Geun-seok, I am Lin Ye."
Lin Ye spoke to the screen with a slight smile.
"I am willing to accept your challenge, but I don't think you alone are my opponent."
"My new dungeon has opened. You can bring your chaebol group into the dungeon with you, or, it's still not too late to back out now."
"Also... I think your previous challenge content was too petty. Since it's a challenge, let's play for higher stakes."
"We will not only determine who is superior, but also decide life and death! How about it?"
After recording this one-minute video, Lin Ye directly uploaded it to the internet.
With his current popularity so high, Lin Ye believed it wouldn't take long for Kim Geun-seok to see this video.
