Lies, Swindles, and Treacherous Eagle Sauce!
This time, the Koreans in the dungeon went all out.
It must be said that small things add up, and the base of 1.9 million people is still quite large.
Even if most of them are LV0 noobs, if each person contributes 10 or 20 points, multiplied by this huge base, the points that can be accumulated are still quite considerable.
In the end, they managed to scrape together a massive 115 million points!
"Ha ha!"
"Too much, really too much."
Seeing the points accumulated in the backend, Lee Tae-yong was overjoyed!
It has to be said that the dungeons are the real "capitalists." As tycoons themselves, they're lucky if they can squeeze a little blood out of these scoundrels after working themselves to the bone.
However, in the dungeon, with just a little bit of skill, this one small maneuver can make the people obediently hand over their points.
The total number of points far exceeded his expectations.
If he could accumulate 100 million points, he would not only reach LV4, but he would undoubtedly become the number one Hero Ranking on this Azure Star.
The kind that is unprecedented and will never be repeated.
Unfortunately, these points are forcibly stored in the instance's backend and cannot be retrieved; they can only be used to purchase items.
"Lin Ye, I never thought that even a genius like you could stumble."
You've really been caught off guard this time!
"What's the point of all that fancy stuff? You made way too many mistakes in the actual dungeon mission!"
Lee Tae-yong wore a very relaxed smile.
From the moment he entered the instance, his nerves were on edge; the pressure from the Great Wall Watch instance almost broke him.
With 100 million points in hand, Lee Tae-yong felt much more relaxed.
"Lin Ye, you made two mistakes. First, you shouldn't have sold the weapons you designed in the dungeon."
"Secondly, the pricing of your weapons is riddled with flaws."
The top-tier guns and cannons on the weapons list cost 10,000 points, while the top-tier Eagle Sauce fighter jets cost only 50,000 points, and the top-tier aircraft carriers cost 5 million points.
Five guns can be exchanged for one airplane, and 100 airplanes can be exchanged for one aircraft carrier?
This points system is clearly extremely unreasonable.
The price was set low, and there were no rules governing the pricing; it was entirely something Lin Ye did haphazardly.
With his current reserves of 100 million points, Lee Tae-yong could directly purchase 200 of the Eagle Sauce's top-tier aircraft carriers or 20,000 of its most advanced fighter jets.
200 aircraft carriers! That's practically a cataclysmic force.
The previous Raging Waves and Winter Is Coming dungeons never featured such an astonishingly large troop strength.
"Ha ha!"
"This is truly a stroke of luck!"
In that instant, Lee Tae-yong felt as if he had transformed into the final boss of a dungeon.
With such a large number of points available, Lee Tae-yong's previous tactics naturally need to be modified.
This time he's going to launch a joint naval and air operation!
Moreover, all weapons must be purchased from the store, and the Korean weapons that were brought with them are relegated to a secondary role!
There's no way around it; any weapon the Eagle Sauce has is better than the weapons they bring with them.
[20 million points have been paid out; four Ford-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be transferred to the Jizhou Island Naval Base!]
[10 million points have been paid; 5 Nimitz- class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers will be transferred to the Jizhou Island Naval Base!]
[...]
[10 million points have been paid out, and 200 F-22 Fighting Falcon fighter jets have been transferred to Torishima Air Base!]
[10 million points have been paid; 200 B-2 Spirit stealth bombers have been transferred to Bird Island Air Base!]
[...]
Lee Tae-yong embarked on an extremely frenzied shopping spree.
He was thoroughly enjoying the massive amount of points he spent, and even forgot that he had earned those points by risking his life.
After a series of actions, he sat comfortably in the presidential chair, lit a cigarette, and started smoking.
Such a force!
"Don't even mention annihilating a single Dragon Country fleet; I wouldn't be afraid to wipe out the entire Dragon Country!"
Just as he was thinking about building a top-notch legion, urgent reports kept coming from Bird Island Air Force Base and Jizhou Island Naval Base.
"Commander Li! The aircraft carrier we bought from the Eagle Sauce has sunk!"
"Commander, many destroyers are covered in moss and rust, making them unusable."
"Commander, this F-22 Fighting Falcon is missing a wing!"
"Commander..."
Similar messages kept coming in.
Many of the weapons purchased from the Eagle Sauce Country are defective, and some are even antiques.
Lee Tae-yong was so angry that he jumped up from his seat, his previously relaxed mood turning into agitation once again.
"Eagle Sauce Country!"
You tricked me!
No wonder the points requirement wasn't high; it turns out there were a lot of defective products mixed in.
Only then did Lee Tae-yong realize that he had been tricked and had been cheated out of a huge amount of points!
In a fit of anger, Lee Tae-yong picked up his phone and dialed back the number that the Eagle Sauce Country had just called him.
"Beep beep beep."
"Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please leave a message after you hear one beep..."
"Beep--"
"Damn it!" Lee Tae-yong slammed the phone to the ground.
He couldn't accept this result, considering that every point he had earned was at the cost of these challengers' lives, and he himself had essentially staked his entire fortune on it.
As a result, they were cheated and deceived, and given inferior goods instead of genuine products.
"Firmament! I want to report this!"
"Lin Ye designed a cheat program in this instance and used a third party in the instance to cheat me out of a lot of points!" Li Taiyong directly summoned the Firmament.
[...]
[Firmament Reminder: After review by Firmament, the shopping mini-program set up by the designers in the instance is reasonable, and this act of sharing weapons and technology is conducive to the exchange and development of military technology on Azure Star...]
[This instance is a free-for-all instance in Total War, and the challenger's purchase was a spontaneous act; therefore, Firmament has ruled your appeal invalid.]
[Also, a reminder to dungeon commanders: in the Earth Online setting, the Eagle Sauce Country is an extremely treacherous nation. Please carefully consider any deals with the Eagle Sauce Country.]
"Damn it!"
Lee Tae-yong felt his heart bleeding.
He knew that since Firmament wasn't taking any action, he had no chance of getting those points back.
Once the bet is placed, the die is cast.
What he needs to do now is to tally up the losses. Being tricked doesn't matter, as long as he can muster enough troops.
He could exchange 10 million points for 5 Nimitz- class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. As long as he could use one or two of them, he wouldn't lose out!
"Listen up, people at both military bases, give me a count of exactly how many weapons are available for use!"
