Expand the population to one billion!!
[Divine Firmament Hint: The proof is simple: significantly increase the chance of clearing the Instance! For example, increase the number of Instance, extend the Instance quest time, etc. If the Instance still cannot be cleared even after drastically reducing Instance difficulty, the Dungeon Designer will receive an excessive reward.]
At the time, in order to obtain the maximum amount of 1 million Star Yuan in one go, I had already set my Instance mission time to unlimited, so there was no way to increase the Instance time any further.
The only thing that can be increased is the number of Instance.
Hearing Divine Firmament's explanation, Lin Ye smiled knowingly.
In the end, the difficulty level is determined by the number of participants.
From the Azure Era to the present, Lin Ye has also discovered this pattern: the most direct way to reduce the difficulty of Instance is to increase the population.
In fact, Lin Ye had more or less anticipated this.
There's no way around it. For Instance, technology and weapons are too difficult to measure. Ultimately, changes in strength still depend on the population.
The difference in population is not just about the number of Challengers, but also represents the amount of technology and weapons a civilization can bring into the Instance! The larger the population, the greater the scale of weapons and technology.
The index representing the increasing strength of challenging forces is rising.
This isn't because the Divine Firmament isn't intelligent; rather, from a macro perspective, it's the most direct way to reduce the difficulty of Instance.
If you still can't win even with a huge number of Challengers in an Instance, it does mean that the Instance has a very high "hidden score".
"In that case, Divine Firmament, for my next Solar System Online launch, set the number of players at 1 billion!"
To be honest, for Lin Ye, there's not much difference between one billion and one hundred million.
The gap in technology cannot be bridged by sheer numbers, as clearly demonstrated in the Azure Era.
The reason for setting the target at 1 billion was simply that Lin Ye wanted to proceed gradually.
Don't scare all other civilizations away and make them afraid to challenge us.
Furthermore, he will most likely not choose a trash civilization like the Green Vine Civilization to enter his Instance again.
Playing it safe for a bit is a good opportunity to test the strength of the top civilizations in the arena.
[Divine Firmament prompt:...]
[Honorable Civilization Guide, with a Challengers population of 1 billion, your population has exceeded the limit of the Universe Arena by ten times! This is an extremely dangerous act!]
[For any civilization in the arena, 1 billion Challengers would allow them to unleash their full potential! Are you sure you want to undertake such a high-risk operation?]
"Sure!"
[The Divine Firmament has received instructions; the number of Challengers for the next opening of the Solar System Online Instance has now been set to 1 billion!]
[...]
The number 1 billion is indeed quite exaggerated. Take Azure Civilization for example, the Instance Challengers that are actually usable might not even reach 1 billion.
"In that case, what's the maximum number of Star Yuan I can get from a single Instance run?"
[Divine Firmament prompt: Please wait, the system is calculating...]
Clearly, Lin Ye's actions were somewhat beyond the comprehension of the War Zone 112's Divine Firmament.
The Divine Firmament also experienced a brief outage.
After a long while, Lin Ye finally gave a reply.
[Divine Firmament Warning: Based on calculations and the current difficulty of the Instance, you can set the maximum reward/penalty for Instance quests to 5 million Star Yuan per run!! This has already reached the maximum limit for the Universe Arena!]
[The Divine Firmament must remind you that almost no civilization will bring 5 million Star Yuan into Instance at once, which means a large amount of Star Yuan will be paid by the Divine Firmament... The Divine Firmament does not encourage this behavior!]
[With this setup, your risk of failure increases exponentially! Once the Instance is breached, your civilization will face a penalty far exceeding 5 million Star Yuan! This means your civilization will be directly annihilated!]
[Your actions affect the existence of civilization. As Civilization Guide, please be cautious!]
Lin Ye knew that most civilizations in the arena didn't even have 5 million Star Yuan.
Hearing the warning from the Divine Firmament, Lin Ye nodded with a smile.
"5 million Star Yuan... Hmm, not bad!"
"Divine Firmament, you are indeed much more reasonable than that previous Firmament Curtain!"
That's ruthless! That's thrilling!
Success means a surge in Star Yuan; failure means total defeat.
If we lose, our civilization will collapse and perish!
In all the years the Universe Arena has existed, no one has dared to try something like this. Because it's simply unnecessary.
But for Lin Dong, this was the feeling he wanted.
Back in the Azure Era, every battle was fraught with danger, a fight to the death. Yet, we never suffered a defeat!
The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish.
To make a fortune in one go, you need that kind of boldness! You need to do things that others dare not do.
Only in this way can this boring life become interesting!
"No problem! Set it up like this!"
"Divine Firmament, immediately release my Instance update."
Lin Ye was in high spirits. He had initially thought that this promotion would take a long time, but now it seemed that the process would be much faster.
[...]
[The Divine Firmament has received the order! The updated Instance has now been deployed to the arena!]
At the same time, an announcement was broadcast over the skies above the planets of the 100 civilizations in the Universe Arena.
[The Solar System Online Instance, designed by Lin Ye, the Civilization Guide the Azure Civilization, has undergone a series of adjustments! The number of Challengers has been set to 1 billion!!]
[Since this Instance is being opened for the second time, the Civilization Guide has lost its direct designation privilege. Civilizations interested are encouraged to register within 12 hours! If no civilization volunteers to challenge after 12 hours, the Divine Firmament will randomly designate a guide!]
[Divine Firmament Warning: The rewards for this Instance are extremely generous; victory will be enough to propel any civilization into the top tier.]
[...]
Once this announcement was sent out, the entire Universe Arena, encompassing 100 civilizations and trillions of lives, was plunged into shock and uproar!
Trillions of eyes were glued to this broadcast.
What kind of monster is this?! It's simply defying the heavens!
Although the previous opening allowed everyone to witness Lin Ye's strength.
But his reckless behavior still led most people to believe that Lin Ye was a madman, a lunatic.
One billion people! What a massive group one billion people is!
Do you really think the Universe Arena is full of useless civilizations like the Green Vine Civilization?
Many civilizations are aware of this kind of overcapacity design, but the reason they haven't dared to implement it is because the risks are too great.
Even the top civilizations in the Universe Arena haven't dared to do these things, so what makes you, a newly advanced civilization, think you can do them?
That's absolutely courting death.
