Hand the Settlement Over to Lin Ye!
At this moment, the Koreans no longer cared about racial dignity; all they wanted was to escape their misery.
Their former pride in their Goryeo people is now the very constraint they most want to break free from.
That's how Koreans are; their excessive inferiority complex has made them accustomed to opportunism.
They flock to wherever there are benefits.
Snobbishness, meanness, and self-righteousness... these qualities are vividly displayed in the Koreans.
"Park Seong-man down!"
"Park Seong-man down!"
"Hurry up and hand over the gathering place to Lin Ye!"
"Kneel down immediately and beg Lin Ye for forgiveness!"
"..."
The cacophony of shouting and cursing echoed throughout the Settlement, naturally reaching the top-floor offices of the Lotte World Tower.
In the office, Park Seong-man slumped weakly in his chair, staring up at the ceiling.
Sweat dripped down his temples and chin.
It's not surprising that Lee Jae-yong lost; Park Seong-man knew Lee Jae-yong's strength and that he had no chance against Lin Ye.
But Park Seong-man never imagined that Lee Jae-yong could kill all the Challengers.
As the Commander a Settlement, he is largely to blame for the deaths of 1.9 million people.
The wrath of the people will inevitably turn against him! It is because he chose this method of randomly selecting Challengers that so many people have lost their lives.
He probably can't be the Commander of this Settlement anymore.
But what terrifies Park Seong-man even more now is the almost perverse oppressive power of the Great Wall Watch.
If the next round of Settlement still chooses the South Korea Settlement, how should we respond?
Those seemingly miraculous destroyers—16 destroyers could wipe out a massive carrier battle group.
This is only 0.1% of the Instance's completion rate...
Lin Ye was like a war god, completely unstoppable.
Each massacre wipes out 2 million people; no Settlement could withstand such a catastrophe.
Just then, Firmament Notification rang in his ears.
[Firmament Notification: Dear Dungeon Designer, your Instance "Incheon War" has been breached by the team led by Instance Challengers Long Yuan!]
[In this Instance, 5000 players completed the Instance, deducting 2.5 million points!]
Park Seong-man's Instance is Hard-level Instance, with a point reward system where a victory grants 500 points and a loss deducts 800 points.
Before Lin Ye rose to fame, the points system on Azure Star was generally below 100 points.
The Lin Ye Instance caused a surge in points across the entire Azure Star, prompting all Designers, regardless of their skill level, to upgrade their point systems.
This is risky, but also potentially very profitable.
But who would have thought that while he was watching the Great Wall Watch live stream, his proud Instance would be destroyed!
This loss resulted in a net loss of 2.5 million points, causing Park Seong-man's ranking on the Hero Ranking to plummet.
It's terrifying to think about. If he had acted impulsively and increased the points-based reward and punishment system, he might have already been eliminated.
He was originally only one step away from LV4, but now he has fallen to outside the top 40.
Trying to reach LV4 again is practically impossible.
It's like being about to undergo a tribulation, only to be sent back to square one.
"Damn it..."
"Damn the Great Xia people!"
"Ahh!"
"Despicable, despicable!"
In a fit of anger, Park Seong-man smashed all the documents on the desk onto the floor.
Once your own Instance is breached, it's like your virginity has been broken, and more and more people will come to take advantage of the situation.
Park Seong-man then had to shut down his own Instance and design a new Instance as quickly as possible, otherwise his points would drop even faster.
Just then, Park Jeong-yong and Choi Tae-won burst through the door in a panic.
"Commander, something terrible has happened!"
"Commander! According to the latest statistics, 130 Instances of our settlement were breached yesterday!"
"A total of 2.1 million of our compatriots died yesterday!"
"Commander... In just one day yesterday, 20 million people were relocated from the Settlement! Almost all the staff of our two families have secretly left the Settlement."
"The population of the Settlement is now less than 10 million..."
"In the entire Settlement, there are only three of us left who are level 3 or higher Dungeon Designers."
Park Jeong-yong and Choi Tae-won relayed one piece of bad news after another to Park Seong-man, as if chanting a sutra.
When it rains, it pours!
Park Seong-man's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
If the two family heads hadn't caught him so quickly, he probably would have fallen and suffered a head injury.
"Commander!"
Park Seong-man was completely devastated, especially when he heard that only the three of them at Level 3 remained in the entire Settlement; he was utterly heartbroken.
Then what a barren land!
The remaining ten million people are simply not willing to stay here loyally.
Instead, it's an extremely weakling who wants to leave but no other Settlement is willing to take it in!
Does he intend to lead this bunch of good-for-nothings to challenge the Great Wall Watch?
This was clearly an operation orchestrated by Lin Ye in the Great Xia Settlement! Every step was extremely ruthless!
The purpose was to cause the South Korea Settlement to fall apart.
Now, although they still occupy the Settlement, everyone has left, so the Settlement is essentially defunct.
"That damned Kim Geun-seok! If it weren't for his reckless behavior back then, how could Goryeo have ended up in such a state!"
Park Seong-man roared, but the family head beside him looked helpless.
Kim Geun-seok is dead, what's the point of blaming him now?
Isn't this just shifting the blame...?
"What are you all doing? Hurry up and ask the other seven Settlements for help!"
"We appeal to the United States Settlement help. Its Commander George, has repeatedly hoped that our Goryeo Settlement would become their subordinate Settlement!"
"And then there's the Dahe Settlement. We gave them a lot of points before; now it's their turn to help us."
Park Seong-man wanted to continue speaking, but Choi Tae-won interrupted her directly.
"Commander... immediately after the Great Wall Watch ended, the other seven Settlements issued a joint statement kicking us out of this so-called alliance."
"The reason given is that we deliberately slacked off in our confrontation with the Great Xia Settlement, choosing low-level challenges for our battles..."
Upon hearing this, Park Seong-man's eyes immediately became much less focused.
Those seven Settlements indeed abandoned him.
His head suddenly started to ache terribly.
"I don't want to hear any more of this disgusting news! Just tell me what you want to do!"
"Commander, it's obvious that Lin Ye is targeting the South Korea Settlement. As long as this Settlement ceases to exist, we can all survive," Choi Tae-won cleared his throat and said slowly.
