Lin Ye did not linger on the street; after buying some daily necessities, he went straight back to his rented room.
Actually, Lin Ye's refusal of Ding Chang's invitation was not due to arrogance.
How could he not know that joining an organization in this world would be very beneficial for an individual's survival?
But in that case, the process would be quite cumbersome and would affect Lin Ye's dungeon creation.
Furthermore, at this stage of military development in this era, it wouldn't bring any substantial benefits to Lin Ye.
While Ding Chang's institute was still theorizing about Aircraft Carriers, Lin Ye had already implemented Aircraft Carriers in his dungeons.
The disparity was simply too great; Lin Ye's presence there would purely be a waste of his time.
Of course, if the Great Xia Clan's technology could catch up in the future, then joining the First Research Institute could still be considered...
Lin Ye checked the time; there were still about three hours until the dungeon was fully completed.
He set an alarm and dozed off for a while.
When Lin Ye woke up, the completion rate of the Raging Sea dungeon had already reached one hundred percent!
The next step was to submit it to the Sky Curtain for review and grading.
This was actually the most crucial step; whether a dungeon could be released ultimately depended on the Sky Curtain.
No matter how powerful a dungeon was, if it couldn't be put into use, it would amount to nothing.
“Received dungeon Designer: Lin Ye's dungeon review application!”
“Dungeon review initiated! The Sky Curtain will now conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the dungeon's rationality, innovation, foresight, and other aspects!”
“Due to the large size of this dungeon, the review will take some time. Designer, please wait patiently.”
Along with the system's response, Lin Ye's dungeon had entered the review stage.
At the same time, above the dome of this world, dungeon progress broadcasts began.
“The 300-person dungeon 'Jungle Battle' designed by dungeon Designer Andrew has entered the review stage.”
“The 1000-person dungeon 'Church of Light' designed by dungeon Designer Ando Nakao has entered the review stage.”
“The 10000-person dungeon 'Earth Online Five Great Powers: Raging Sea ver1' designed by dungeon Designer Lin Ye has entered the review stage.”
...
All dungeons entering the review stage would be publicly broadcast on the Sky Curtain, meaning that if a Challenger was attentive, they would already know the scale of some dungeons.
Lin Ye, however, didn't pay much attention to this. He didn't know how long the Sky Curtain review would take, and he couldn't just stay there waiting.
Since the Genesis System was always available, he might as well go in and refine the details of the virtual Earth.
Raging Sea was just the beginning; Winter is Coming and Great Wall Watch were still to come.
By perfecting the details of Earth Online now, he wouldn't waste time when creating other dungeons later.
So, Lin Ye directly re-entered the Genesis Space and began to outline the territories of the Mao Xiong and Dragon Country.
...
Lin Ye was so engrossed in the Genesis Space that he forgot to eat and sleep, but in the outside world, discussions about his dungeon exploded!
Because a ten-thousand-person dungeon had never existed in this world before!
As soon as this ten-thousand-person dungeon appeared on the Sky Curtain, it immediately attracted the most widespread attention.
Even though the dungeon had not yet completed its review, major media outlets had already begun frantic broadcasts.
“Great Xia Clan's new Designer suspected of designing Azure Star's first ten-thousand-person dungeon!”
“Ten-thousand-person dungeon?! Is it a new star of the era, or the dust of the era?”
“The Designer of the ten-thousand-person dungeon is Lin Ye, the chief Commander who first cleared the difficult dungeon Royal Sea Battle the other day!”
“Shocking the Sky Curtain! Shocking Azure Star!”
It could be said that it stirred up a thousand waves at once.
Various experts on the internet began to discuss this matter heatedly.
“Is this person simply crazy?! A ten-thousand-person dungeon? Does he know how much carrying capacity that requires?”
“From what I understand, over a hundred German people previously collaborated to try and create a ten-thousand-person dungeon, and they all failed!”
“Don't speak too soon. What if this Lin Ye is really a genius?”
“A genius? I think this is suicide!”
“A ten-thousand-person dungeon means that ten thousand people can enter the dungeon simultaneously, which will greatly increase his risk of failure!”
“Without sufficient technological support, blindly expanding the Challenger capacity is the most foolish design method.”
Apart from a few who praised Lin Ye's courage, most experts' opinions were pessimistic.
-------------------------------------
At the same time.
Great Harmony People's Island.
Inside the incredibly luxurious Emperor's Residence.
Ito Hidekazu, the Great Harmony People's genius Designer, was being questioned by the Emperor.
At this time, several top-tier big figures of the Great Harmony People were also standing in the room.
There was Shogunate General Minamoto Yorimitsu, the leader of the ninja group Iga Ryuji, and the Great Harmony People's Navy Commander Yamamoto Thirty-eight...
Although there was no form of country in this world, there were gatherings of races.
Especially for inherently weaker races like the Great Harmony People, settlements naturally formed.
Because when individual strength was weak, only by having a large number of people could they have the capital to challenge stronger races.
Although the Sky Curtain did not allow wars to occur in reality, it condoned unseen wars in dungeons.
Causing people from other races to fall and be eliminated in one's own race's dungeon was also a form of invisible warfare.
These several organizations of the Great Harmony People each had their own duties.
The Shogunate General was the Great Harmony People's suicide squad, indulging in Bushido spirit.
He would organize many Great Harmony people to spontaneously conquer dungeons, even at the cost of sacrifice to obtain dungeon intelligence.
The ninja group was the Great Harmony People's assassination organization; they would forcibly enter certain dungeons in an organized manner, clear them, and thus eliminate key figures of other races.
At this moment, in front of so many important figures, Ito Hidekazu appeared trembling with fear.
“Ito-kun, your Royal Sea Battle dungeon consumed a great deal of effort from our clan's Naval Research Institute, yet it was breached so easily!” the Emperor, seated, said coldly.
“How will you take responsibility for the losses inflicted on our clan?!”
The Navy Commander Yamamoto Thirty-eight, who was beside him, also let out two forced laughs.
“We shared our most cutting-edge cruiser technology with you, yet you designed such a weak dungeon...”
“Ito-san! I question your dungeon design capabilities!”
Facing the barrage of criticism from everyone, Ito Hidekazu dared not say a word, only bowing repeatedly to show his apology.
Actually, he was also feeling extremely stifled.
The Royal Sea Battle dungeon had brought him huge losses!
During this period, Challengers kept breaking through the dungeon, causing him to lose half of his points directly.
Left with no choice, Ito Hidekazu had temporarily closed his dungeon.
He could now be said to hate that Lin Ye of the Great Xia Clan to death!
