A Miserable World...
On the way back from leaving the Instance Research Center.
Lin Ye fell into deep thought again, while Bai Tianhao, who was beside him, focused on driving and didn't dare to disturb Lin Ye.
Actually, there were many things Lin Ye didn't say in the Conference Room just now.
Because saying it out loud won't make a difference.
Given the current level of understanding of the Great Xia leadership, saying too much would only confuse them.
In truth, Lin Ye never intended to rely on the Settlement's power to deal with those few troublesome Settlements.
He can handle this alone!
Since the matter originated with him, it's natural that he should handle it personally.
Originally, I needed to collect a lot of points on my way to LV5, and collecting points meant taking lives on Azure Star.
At first, Lin Ye felt a little reluctant, but now she feels relieved.
So many people want to die, he has to grant their wish!
Lin Ye originally planned to release the Great Wall Watch Instance after completing the Nantianmen Project, the Penglai Project, the Classic of Mountains and Seas Project, and the Houyi Project.
It seems some people can't wait any longer.
Let's release a beta version of the Great Wall Watch first!
In the context of Future Warfare Systems, Lin Ye can gradually create things like those at Nantianmen in the background.
The initial opening of the Instance doesn't actually require that level of equipment; just use the Great Wall Watch under the Modern Warfare System to crush these Azure Star beings!
That's enough!
"Xiao Bai, don't go back to my place yet."
"I need to go see Dean Ding."
Lin Ye immediately instructed Bai Tianhao to change direction, not to return to his Cliffside Villa immediately, but to go to the Great Xia Deep Forest Sanatorium.
According to what Bai Tianhao said before, Ding Chang probably doesn't have much time left.
Like Long Yuan, Ding Chang had done Lin Ye a favor.
Without Ding Chang's trust and support during the Battle of the Imperial Sea, Lin Ye's fate might have been completely different.
In fact, sometimes Lin Ye would wonder if he could do what Ding Chang did.
When you're conquering an Instance, is it possible to hand over the initiative to a level 0 kid, even if that kid is one of your own?
The answer is no.
Lin Ye wasn't that kind, nor did she have that big of a heart.
Because doing so could very likely bring immeasurable losses to oneself.
It is very possible that this could cost him his life.
In a world where points are paramount, concepts like morality and kindness are difficult to grasp. Therefore, after arriving in this world, Lin Ye has only one principle: to be cautious in everything he does!
The more Lin Ye thought about it, the more precious it was that someone like Ding Chang existed in such a cruel world.
The two quickly arrived at the Sanatorium and went to the outside of the Intensive Care Unit.
Ding Chang was temporarily out of danger, but he was still unconscious.
Looking at Ding Chang through the glass window, the old man appeared much thinner than when Lin Ye last saw him.
"Xiao Bai, what can I do for Dean Ding?"
"If you need points, I can pay for it on behalf of Dean Ding..."
Bai Tianhao's lips trembled, but he ultimately shook his head.
"It's no use, Mr. Lin."
"Points are not a problem. Dean Ding is a meritorious figure of Great Xia, and the Great Xia Settlement will cover all his medical expenses. It's just that with the current technological Level of Azure Star... we really can't save Dean Ding."
"I can tell the doctors here what kind of medical technology they need. I've also studied some medical knowledge in the Instance..." Lin Ye continued.
But halfway through his sentence, Lin Ye himself began to doubt himself.
He did know some medical knowledge from later generations, but it was only superficial.
Moreover, given the current level of technology on Azure Star, there is simply no way to achieve these medical technologies.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye could only let out a long sigh.
What are people in this world doing, busying themselves every day to accumulate points?
Points cannot govern birth, aging, illness, and death. In a world where the standard of living is extremely low, many diseases are incurable.
Under the rule of the Firmament, most people are merely puppets, operating on pre-set paths every day, simply to survive until tomorrow.
Those who have a lot of points think they can enjoy life, but they are just entertaining themselves.
A frog at the bottom of a well cannot see the wider world.
The two fell silent at the same time, and Bai Tianhao also became somewhat sentimental.
"Mr. Lin, actually I can tell you some stories about Dean Ding..."
Afterwards, Bai Tianhao told Lin Ye in detail about the Subjugation War that had taken place in the Great Xia, as well as Ding Chang's Fall from the Altar.
This was the first time Lin Ye had learned that this Great Xia Settlement had experienced such a thing.
It turns out that Ding Chang was once a Level 4 powerhouse, but was secretly murdered and reduced to his current state.
"Mr. Lin, Old Ding has always had a wish: to see the Great Xia Gathering Place become number one on Azure Star again, and to see the Great Xia people reach the top of the Hero Ranking."
"I hope you can help Old Ding realize this wish!"
After speaking, Bai Tianhao bowed deeply to Lin Ye, his voice slightly choked with emotion.
Lin Ye nodded slightly and patted Bai Tianhao on the shoulder.
"If Dean Ding wakes up, tell him."
"I told him to hang in there a little longer, and I'll help him fulfill his wish soon."
Back at the Cliffside Villa.
Lin Ye didn't have time to rest and immediately entered the Creation Space.
We will begin by summarizing the completed parts of the Great Wall Watch and setting an initial stage of the Instance quest.
The Nantianmen Project and other similar features can be triggered like the Great Patriotic War BUFF in Winter Is Coming, only after the Instance progresses to a certain point.
Just make sure you have enough space in advance for the Instance.
The process was quick; about ten minutes later, Lin Ye emerged from the Creation Space and immediately summoned the Firmament.
"Firmament!"
"Please review my latest Instance. The Instance is called Earth Online: The Five Permanent Members - the Great Wall Watch (Beta)."
[Firmament has received the Instance review application submitted by Dungeon Designer: Lin Ye!]
[The Instance review process has begun! Next, Firmament will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the Instance's rationality, innovation, and forward-thinking approach!]
[Due to the large size of this Instance, the review process will take some time. Designers, please be patient.]
"Wait a minute, Firmament."
"For this Instance, I want to add something different," Lin Ye said coldly.
"First, I want the initial number of players for the Instance to be set at two million! I hope this number can be used to determine its feasibility."
"Secondly, I hope to change the traditional random selection model across the entire Azure Star to a random selection within a single Settlement."
"Because this Instance is more difficult, compared to the global random selection mode, confining it to a Settlement will be more beneficial for Challengers to experience and conquer the Instance."
