Park Seong-man Pissed Himself in Terror!
Cosmic Settlement.
The glittering, luxurious downtown area.
Park Seong-man was taking a bath in his mansion, humming Goryeo people song.
He's been under a lot of pressure lately.
The defeat in the Winter Is Coming, coupled with the heavy deaths in the Settlement, was truly...
Fortunately, they held on.
In the current situation, he is temporarily safe and can relax a little.
But just as he was humming a little tune, he received a notification from the Firmament.
[Dear Cosmic Settlement Commander, your Settlement has been designated as an entry point into the endless-level dungeon "Earth Online: The Five Permanent Members - the Great Wall Watch (Beta)"!]
[The dungeon requires two million challengers, who will spawn in the Cosmic Settlement. Settlement leaders, please make reasonable arrangements for your people to prepare for the dungeon!]
[There are currently 12 hours remaining until the instance opens. Within these 12 hours, all residents of the cosmic Settlements can apply for the instance. If the required number of participants is not met after 12 hours, the Firmament will randomly select participants from within the Settlement area!]
[As the leader of this Settlement, please arrange all of this properly!]
[Special Note from the Firmament: This is an Endless difficulty dungeon! Its difficulty surpasses all existing dungeons on Azure Star. To avoid mass casualties in the Settlement, please choose carefully!]
[Countdown begins now, 11:59:59...]
[11:59:58...]
[11:59:57...]
[11:59:56...]
"What?!"
In his excitement, Park Seong-man slipped on the wet floor and fell flat on his face.
His head was bleeding from the severe injury.
Intense pain instantly swept through his body.
But he couldn't care less about that at the moment; the shock was still lingering in his mind.
Lin Ye's instance has been classified as Endless!
Earlier, his assistant, Lee Tae-yong, had analyzed the situation quite logically, saying that Lin Ye's role in this instance was purely a case of being forced into it.
So how do we explain this now?!
Furthermore, you can directly specify the Settlement to participate!
It's obvious without even thinking that this is Lin Ye's direct attack on the cosmic Settlement.
Damn it! Damn it!
"How could the Firmament accept such a setting? It can actually designate Settlements directly?!"
Park Seong-man covered his head with a towel, then struggled to get up from the ground.
Then he immediately called Park Jung-young, Choi Tae-won, and Lee Tae-yong.
Tell them, no matter what they are doing right now, to meet at the leader's office on the top floor of the Lotte Building as soon as possible.
They thought their Settlement was safe, but now they're facing a life-or-death situation once again!
Fifteen minutes later.
Park Jung-young, Choi Tae-won, and Lee Tae-yong had already arrived at the office.
Park Seong-man cut to the chase, showing no mercy whatsoever.
I don't have time to waste with you guys.
"I'm sure you've all seen the news about the dome!"
"Lee Tae-yong! Didn't you confidently say that Lin Ye was forced into this role? Didn't you say that Lin Ye is now a lone commander?"
"And now, what's the explanation?"
In a fit of anger, Park Seong-man smashed the cup to pieces.
Actually, it's unreasonable for him to vent his frustrations on Lee Tae-yong right now.
After all, Lee Tae-yong is just an assistant now and has no decision-making power, while he is the one in charge of this Settlement.
Lee Tae-yong's remarks at the time were merely his personal opinions.
But there was nothing he could do; Park Seong-man was indeed seething with anger, and could only vent it on Lee Tae-yong.
At this moment, Lee Tae-yong's face was ashen, and he couldn't utter a single word.
Lin Ye's move effectively neutralized all of his previous wild ideas.
The endless-level Firmament audit and settlement was a slap in his face.
The new form of directly designating Settlement to participate is intended to sever the connection between the cosmic settlement and the outside world, making it impossible for the other seven Settlements to help them even if they wanted to.
The saying goes, "Kill the chicken to scare the monkey," but now they've become the weakest of the chickens.
That's incredibly poisonous! This Lin Ye is absolutely deadly!
"Forget it! There's no point in saying more!" Park Seong-man waved his hand and said.
"What do you guys think we should do next? How do we fight against these the Great Wall Watch?"
"How are we going to organize these two million people? For Korea right now, every step is a matter of life and death!"
"President Park! I think these two million people should be chosen from the weakest challengers!"
Cui Taiyuan, the head of the Cui family, was the first to answer.
"We are well aware of Lin Ye's strength. The previous Purgatory-level Winter Is Coming,' wiped out hundreds of thousands of elites from South Korea. This time it's an Endless-level dungeon, so the difficulty will only be higher!"
"Not to mention that we simply can't gather two million high-level challengers right now, even if we could, if they fail and are wiped out in the dungeon, my Goryeo people might truly never rise again!"
Choi Tae-won didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Since sacrifices are inevitable, let's find the weakest members of the clan to be cannon fodder!
