The wrong person on the ground, the opening sword soul template

Chapter 257 The Pit-Establishing Plan
Second floor of the guild headquarters.

This is the guild's internal management's daily office space, and Eina appeared in the decision-making room at this moment.

Sitting here made her feel very uncomfortable; the lowest rank that could be present here was that of a class monitor.

A class leader usually has at least ten subordinates.

She was just a low-level employee, and her presence here was solely due to her collaborator's promotion to Lv6 adventurer.

Although his employee rank has improved, he has not yet reached the level of a team leader.

Because Liang Yue became the adventurer who advanced to Lv2, Lv3, Lv4, Lv5, and Lv6 the fastest, she also received a lot of bonuses and honors.

She looked at Sergeant Remo, "Sergeant, is it really appropriate for me to sit here?"

Remo, an orc, was sitting next to Eina as he replied.

"In just six months, the adventurers you mentored went from Lv1 to Level 1 adventurers, and even Lv6."

In addition, he has accomplished a great deal of amazing feats, which are his achievements and also your accomplishments!
Such performance is enough to make you a candidate for cadre!

Eina was shocked. So that's how it is. She had become a candidate for cadre because of Liang Yue's influence.

This is an area that only management and high-ranking members of the guild can access.

This was an area that a low-level guild member like her could never go to; her fate had already been changed because of Liang Yue.

Before meeting Liang Yue, she was just a counter clerk, but now she has become a management candidate!

Remo lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear:

"This meeting is very important and will have a historic impact on the future of Orario."

Therefore, we need an employee who frequently interacts with frontline adventurers to gain clearer advice from their perspective!

And this is also closely related to the school district!

Eina took a deep breath. Because of Liang Yue, she had been noticed by her boss and had been invited to attend such an important meeting.

Therefore, she felt grateful to Liang Yue and her superior, Squad Leader Lei Mo, once again.

During the meeting, Eina heard that the school district's production of orichalcum, the hardest metal forged this year, had increased by 40% compared to last year.

This metal is undoubtedly the hardest metal in the world, reaching a master-level standard.

Compared to it, even super-hard metals like steel are inferior.

Class monitor Remo's words gave Eina courage to do her best.

However, the guild manager Royman was now glaring fiercely at Eina.

That expression was clearly a warning to Eina, telling her to behave herself.

After glaring at Eina once more, Royman spoke.

At this moment, Royman was no longer the harmless person Loki had been teasing. "Then let's start working on the pit-laying plan."

Piling Project?

Eina picked up the materials in front of her and began to read them.

"Currently, Mr. Liang Yue has authorized the guild to manage the artificial maze. Our guild and the Hestia Familia each have half of the management rights."

"Of course, if we profit from this, we will give half of the profits to the Hestia Familia."

The "Pit Project" mainly refers to the construction of vertical pits within the underground city, and the installation of large elevators within these pits.

Perhaps the guild will start digging downwards from the eighteenth floor where the artificial maze is located.

"Once the pit-laying project is completed, the exploration efficiency of all adventurers in Orario will be greatly improved!"

Currently, the artificial labyrinth is only used by the Hestia Familia, the Loki Familia, and Freya's former subordinates.

Moreover, the man-made maze can only be accessed from the first underground floor to the eighteenth underground floor.

Each time a dungeon expedition is launched, any clan needs to start from the first floor.

The resources, effort, and time required become increasingly difficult as the levels increase.

Often, by the time you reach your maximum floor record, your energy is almost completely depleted.

If more adventurers can reach specific floors directly through the pit, then the dungeon's output will explode.

Furthermore, the Hestia Familia and Loki Familia will experience a dramatic increase in their raiding efficiency as a result.

Therefore, for the guild leaders in charge of city operations, this plan must be approved no matter what.

Adventurers break exploration records and acquire more resources in the lower city.

They then sell these resources within Orario or commission others to forge them.

Then it is used again for dungeon exploration, whether adventurers use the produce for themselves or sell it to Orario.

For the higher-ups, it's a sure-fire way to make money!
If the output is used for the adventurers themselves, then the adventurers' strength will increase, the death rate will inevitably decrease, and the output will naturally increase.

Moreover, Orario, and adventurers from all over the world, almost never leave the dungeon casually, and some even stay away from it permanently.

As you progress through deeper levels, Orario will only become more prosperous!

This is the perfect positive cycle!
Adventurers earn money in dungeons! Spend that money in Orario to boost the city's prosperity!
A more prosperous Orario provides better services for adventurers, allowing them to replenish their physical and mental well-being, equipment, and resources.

As a result, adventurers put even more effort into conquering the dungeons!
Eina recalled her colleague's teasing remark: "Earlie earns money, Oralie spends it, don't even think about taking a single penny home."

Royman picked up the documents in front of him. "The materials needed for the pit construction mainly come from the school district's copper mine."

With such ample production, there is absolutely no need to replace it with high-strength steel.

Orichalcum is hard enough to be reliable, so there's no need to worry about it damaging monsters.

Of course, the construction of the pit must avoid the main floor...

Eina listened to Royman's explanation with a frown.

The school district is capable of refining various rare metals, including oresite. It gathers resources and talent from all over the world and possesses the world's most cutting-edge technology.

However, the guild ordered copper from the other party at the expense of the school district's interests.

This kind of partnership is too unreliable.

Even though Orario invests huge sums of money every year, the school district can still produce a fixed amount of oriental copper every year, and has the world's largest production volume.

Royman looked at everyone excitedly: "Gentlemen, if the pit-laying plan is completed..."

We will accomplish a feat worthy of being called the Tower of Babel! Let us carry out this epoch-making achievement!

"Oh!"

The management team members present were all very excited; they were all inspired by Reuman's goals.

It seems that these people were overwhelmed by their enormous wealth and fame.

No, Eina instinctively sensed that this plan was unreliable.

Seeing that her boss remained unmoved, she figured he was unwilling to get involved in this matter.

While these management teams aimed to develop Orario, they neglected to take a pragmatic approach.

These so-called goals are not based on reality at all.

Out of her own moral conscience, Eina did not want innocent people to die because of her cowardice in this operation.

“Excuse me, I have a few things to add.” Royman’s expression turned grim as he looked at Eina. “Go ahead.”

"This plan is indeed very good, but please reconsider it further."

It seems to me that the dungeon has its own will, and it is full of malice towards adventurers.

For example, in the lower and deeper levels of the underground city, unusual phenomena frequently occur. Wouldn't digging a pit in such a place be far too dangerous?

Currently, Orario and the dungeon are managed and operated by guilds.

The reason why the underground city remains relatively stable is because of the Tower of Babel that suppresses it.

And the prayers, or rather the powers, of Uranus, the god who created the city.

Eina wasn't sure if Uranus could use his divine power in the underworld, but she guessed that Uranus would at least unleash his power over the underworld, or use his divine might to suppress it.

"For example, the pit might be occupied by monsters, or a vertical cave might appear near the pit, leading to a monster feast, etc."

What if the excavation of the vertical shaft causes at least dozens of floors to collapse simultaneously?

"A collapse of dozens of floors? Are you kidding me?"

Royman frowned as he looked at Eina. "Even the cannon dragon on the 58th floor, its fire cannon can only penetrate from the 58th floor to the 51st floor."

"We have discussed the various accidents caused by the construction of pits countless times."

We've even consulted the god Uranus; there are successful examples of man-made labyrinths, so we're quite confident about our next plan.

Eina then thought of another problem: "Will the construction of the pit affect the adventurers' growth?"

This shortcut reduces an adventurer's ability to explore the unknown.

As mentioned before, adventurers are a profession that requires constantly exploring the unknown to become stronger.

The pit-laying plan could lead adventurers to develop a shortcut dependency, thereby losing their sensitivity to the unknown.

Once they leave the pit, they may encounter a crisis that they cannot resolve on their own.

"This is easy to solve; we just need to set usage restrictions according to the adventurer's level."

For example, you could specify the level and ability values, and then determine the exact floor you can reach using the pit-building feature.

Royman slammed his fist on the table. "The purpose of building this pit is to allow Loki and the Hestia Familia to reach even deeper levels!"

For example, the seventy-first floor that Zeus and Hera once reached!
"They must at least reach the seventy-second floor!"

Royman added, "The most important thing right now is not to directly drill through the lower and deeper layers!"

Instead, we'll connect the upper layer first, then the middle layer. We'll proceed with the construction step by step..."

Listening to Royman's explanation, Eina understood his thoughts.

There are currently many adventurers in Orario, and Royman's idea is to help them go further and achieve a surge in strength.

Orario already has the most adventurers in the world.

Within the adventurer class, the level differences are quite significant.

Even Lv1 and ordinary humans are not the same species at all. Not to mention Lv2 and Lv1.

Upon reaching Lv5, they have a lifespan of several hundred years!

Once the pit is erected, adventurers' dungeon clearing efficiency will be greatly improved, thus increasing their leveling efficiency as well.

Both low-level and high-level adventurers will benefit from this.

This is significantly more helpful to lower-level adventurers, since there are more of them!
Furthermore, since the pits are connected from the upper level, adventurers on the upper level will benefit first.

Once the quality of the base improves, a surge in high-level adventurers will naturally occur.

Even after hearing Royman's explanation, Eina was still dissatisfied.

"Another key point is that you seem to be taking all of the school district's copper production."

At least a large portion of these are essential items for reinforcing the armor of the school district's ships!

Yes, although the school district has the world's largest production of oriental copper.

However, the school district's ship was too large, and it needed sufficient materials to strengthen its armor.

This practice of taking all of the mine's copper production and completely disregarding school district development through procurement contracts is truly appalling.

Despite the fact that all of humanity faces the threat of the Black Dragon, they are still fighting amongst themselves over this issue.

This is truly heartbreaking.

"Shut up! Uranus has already agreed, so this plan is now permitted to proceed!"

Reumann stamped the parchment, and the cadres cheered.

Eina could only pray that the plan would not go wrong.

…………

Within the school district, Liang Yue was unaware of the meetings of the guild leaders in Orario.

This lesson is about ancient history.

The class was originally supposed to be taught by Teacher Adela, but according to Nina's explanation, it seems that the gods sometimes have whims, so the teachers are sometimes replaced by the gods.

This is how the lesson began; Goddess Eden started teaching Liang Yue and the others.

"What caused the frequent famines in the northeastern part of the continent before the Age of Gods?"

"Gig, you answer this!"

Upon being called upon by the stunningly beautiful blonde goddess, Liang Yue quickly stood up, "Because of the issue of visiting the dragon."

The disaster was caused by dragon-like monsters emerging from the dungeons and wreaking havoc on the surface.

Because Nina had previously studied these things intensively with Liang Yue, Liang Yue had some understanding of them.

The dungeon existed before the gods descended upon the land.

Before the gods descended upon the human world, dungeons had already appeared and were teeming with monsters.

In an era without divine intervention, humanity and other intelligent races could only rely on their beliefs, their own flesh and blood, and the inheritance of knowledge to fight against monsters.

In an era devoid of divine favor, these intelligent races fought using swordsmanship, magic, and the power gained through extraordinary encounters such as consuming rare treasures or bathing in dragon blood.

Thus, they wrote and created one epic story after another.

With praise from the goddess Eden, Liang Yue returned to her seat.

Then she began writing key points on the blackboard and asked her classmates from God's perspective why there were discrepancies between the facts God spoke of and human history.

In Liang Yue's view, humans, or all intelligent beings, are inherently selfish.

When recounting history, people often embellish their own past, much like how people's memories of the past are often embellished.

The brain always embellishes and beautifies everything that has happened.

In addition, the short lifespan of humans leads to a discrepancy between the facts of human history and the accounts of deities.

To the gods, there is almost no difference between a year and a hundred years.

One hundred years is a person's life.
