Offer blocks to the end times

"There's a magic circle beneath the city?! Right, I think it was mentioned in the game's lore," the group exclaimed in surprise. Thousand Hands pointed to the side, and a 3D image of the city appeared there. "Below is a ley line magic convergence array. It takes a very long time to activate, but it can keep running thanks to the energy of the ley lines. This supports the maintenance of the city's barrier and prevents monster invasions. It's basically the same as a safe zone. The guard system is for player-versus-player combat within the safe zone. Ugh, this setup is so complicated."

After a brief explanation, the group understood. Basically, the portal had stopped because of insufficient magic power, but it was impossible to repair since it wasn't broken. Thousand Hands waved his hand, and the stone slab was restored, and the protective magic array started operating again.

"What a pity," the group left with some regret and prepared to return to the royal palace. However, looking at the dilapidated modern buildings around them, Senju felt a little regretful. Then, an idea struck him: he could probably repair them.

"By the way, did you find any cell phones or computers in these ruined buildings?" Thousand Hands glanced at the players beside him, who were surprised. "Are those things still useful?!"

"Tsk, it seems like you guys are the ones who are completely addicted to games. The fact that the streetlights and such haven't completely rotted away means there might still be some electronic devices left," Qian Shou chuckled. The others next to him felt embarrassed. They had received some Easter egg-like rewards when playing the game before, but that beauty was always with them, so they had all been stuffed into their inventory.

After Shiroe explained, Senju tore open a spatial door leading to the bank. Shiroe then took out a cell phone. "This is a reward from a small mission called 'The Treasure of the Age of Gods.' It can make calls, but it can't be turned on, and there's no network here."

"An embedded advertisement," Senju muttered, looking at her still brand-new phone. Who would bother making phone calls in a game? There are much more convenient ways to communicate. She then looked at the phone again, noting that it didn't have any advanced technology. "What a pity. It's supposed to be from the Age of Gods, but it's just an ordinary phone, and it's completely useless."

As he spoke, Qian Shou turned on the device, and the people next to him stared at it expectantly. "Um, how did you do that? It's clearly not working."

"It's just a magical activation spell that added a magical control system to this phone," Thousand Hands shrugged casually, glancing at the surprised people beside him. "It's already bound to me. If you have any other devices, I can fix them for you."

"Wait a minute!" The group stopped the car and then took out a bunch of strange modern products, including motorcycles, fans, and even laptops, microwave ovens, and washing machines. Senju didn't know how to comment. "They really have a complete collection."

"Haha," the group chuckled dryly. With a casual wave of his hand, Senju imbued these props with a magic system that could be activated by consuming magic. However, looking at the pile of modern props, Senju couldn't help but complain that every game had this money-grabbing option.

The group watched with delight as Shiroe Masaru sat on the gravel.

He was typing away on the computer, saying, "With this, so many things will be much easier."

"Playing games within games?" Senju muttered softly, then looked at the armored warrior Naotsugu riding a motorcycle. "Something about the art style just doesn't feel right."

"Don't worry about it too much, it's cool enough. Actually, it's still not as useful as a griffin," Naotsugu said smugly while riding his motorcycle. Senju rolled his eyes. It's just a motorcycle. Showing off his own mode of transportation can give them a shock.

After gloating for a while, the group packed up their belongings and returned to the dragon carriage. Although they were players from Akihabara, the changes in Susukino were still relevant to their own situation, since the order in Akihabara wasn't exactly perfect either.

Back at the royal palace's main hall, the people were still discussing, but they had largely finalized their plans: a co-governance council, with thirteen representatives from each player group to formulate rules and regulations governing their behavior.

However, they were somewhat conflicted about the selection of the thirteen representatives. Apart from the fact that Thousand Hands had secured one seat, they hadn't yet figured out how to allocate the other seats. After all, this area used to be dominated by one guild, and the other guilds all remained silent, so everyone felt that they didn't have any faith in them.

“Is that so?” Senju nodded after hearing everyone’s difficulties. “It’s very simple. Starting today, disband all the guilds here and rebuild a new guild. Just name it Susukino.”

"Disband all guilds? How could it be that simple?" Everyone shook their heads. Players could indeed do a lot under threats and inducements, but getting all players to join one guild was still extremely difficult. Thousand Hands shrugged. "Don't worry, I've bought the Great Temple, Guild Hall, and Teleportation Portal. You can only use those facilities after joining a new guild."

"What?! Those facilities can be bought?!" Everyone stared in disbelief. Senju shrugged. "Actually, I find it unbelievable too, but it is indeed possible to buy them."

"Oh, I've got some good information," Shiroe pushed up his glasses, while those around him felt a sudden ache in their teeth. This was clearly a sign that he was going to establish a dictatorship, but for now, they were powerless to resist. They couldn't imagine what would happen to them after they died if they lost access to the Great Temple. It seemed that the situation of Susukino's guild had already taken shape.

Then, with a wave of his hand, a parchment scroll appeared. "Every new member must sign this magical contract to exert a powerful binding effect, and order should be restored."

"So, what does it say?" the players asked somewhat uneasily. Thousand Hands opened the parchment. "It's very simple: no looting, no killing. We can add more later if we think of anything else. By the way, this applies to both players and Earthlings."

"Is that all?" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. These two points were considered basic for humans, but the idea of ​​'adding more later' made them feel uneasy. However, the fact that magic scrolls could be used in this way gave them a glimmer of hope.

"Alright, let's get started. First, establish the new guild, then assign tasks," Thousand Hands casually waved his hand, urging everyone to get moving.

Chapter 1898 This Association Urgently Needs Talent

The idea of ​​forming a player guild came to Thousand Hands on a whim. Controlling so many players would allow them to quickly restore order and implement many plans, such as teaching, developing new technologies, and developing this world. After all, it was quite complicated for Thousand Hands to cultivate this civilization.

Unfortunately, this unsuccessful meeting only forced the players to submit and did not resolve the issue of the Earthlings. Looking at the nobles who were still unconscious, Qian Shou waved his hand, and a tender green light fell on the group of people, and they finally woke up.

"What is this?" The group of nobles looked around in confusion, then remembered the powerful pressure they had felt emanating from this person before fainting. Their faces turned pale, realizing that the other party was so strong that they couldn't even withstand the pressure he exuded.

"Alright, you all go and restore order to the Earthlings in the city. Also, take stock of the Earthlings who suffered losses. Don't worry about any adventurers stopping you; I'll be here watching," Thousand Hands said, waving his hand to signal the kings and nobles to hurry up and restore order.

After bowing slightly, the group, feeling threatened, went to resume their government functions. Senju sat on the high platform, while the others exchanged glances, realizing that this set of methods wasn't very useful. "It seems you're very busy here, so we'll take our leave then."

“Yes,” Senju nodded, “I might go back to Akihabara for a visit in a few days.”

"Heh, we're looking forward to it," the group said, their faces devoid of much of a smile. Then, Thousand Hands snapped his fingers, and a crack appeared beside him. "Leave from here. This city has been sealed off by me; you can't leave at will."

"A closed city, huh? No wonder it's a god's city," the group exclaimed. They then left through the spatial rift. As soon as they crossed the rift, they found that the surrounding scenery had changed instantly. They took out their mini-map and saw, "Teleportation magic? They arrived outside the city in an instant, and more than ten kilometers away?"

"My lord, this seems to be the place where we first met those two," Xiao reported to Shiroe in surprise after looking around. Nyanta looked around, his face still smiling, "Shiroe, what do you think?"

"Does everyone remember the game's background?" Shiroe brought up another matter, noticing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces.

"The scientific civilization of the Age of Gods evolved to its limit and was torn apart and destroyed. Later, the gods used the power of magic to rebuild the world, which eventually evolved into the fantasy civilization of 'Myth of the Illusion'."

"Now, after hearing what that person said, doesn't it sound familiar to everyone?" Shiro pushed up her glasses and looked in the direction of Susukino, where a silver pillar of light was rising. "The level of a god, the item that modifies the rules of the world, everything points to what the game's background says."

"Huh? If that's the case, it does seem quite similar to the background. Could this be a god from the game's lore?" Naotsugu wondered, then scratched his head. "But the other party said they were a player from another game."

"Well, there's no way to prove that, and we're no match for that person either," Nyanta said with a wry smile, clenching his fist. "I easily leveled up to level 93, but my opponent is level 1000, which is totally cheating!"

“That’s true, but once we get back to Akihabara, we need to quickly restore order there and not let this person interfere,” Shiroe pushed up her glasses. “I’ve really learned a lot this time, and I already have a pretty good plan.”

"Oh, as expected of Shiroe Nyan," Nyanta said with a smile. The others around him were puzzled and then asked him questions. Shiroe slowly explained that he used food to swindle money to raise funds to buy important buildings, and then coerced other players to form an alliance. Of course, his methods were much more ruthless and clever than Senju's. Everyone in Akihabara would be happy to join.

Meanwhile, Thousand Hands, sitting on the high platform, quickly sensed something. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen bolts of lightning struck the city, turning more than a dozen players who were unaware of the situation and were still looting everywhere into ashes.

"Master, why is it so troublesome here?" Rem was a little confused by Senju's behavior this time. Usually, he would just completely erase everything. Senju shrugged, sensing Rem's thoughts. "Well, I guess this is to adjust my mood. Being too anxious is not good. Besides, I haven't found a clue about this goal yet. Let's just follow my intuition for now. And to realize my plan, I need the help of many people."

“I see,” Rem nodded, not quite understanding, then made a suggestion, “Master, how about we get someone else to help?”

“Hmm, good idea,” Senju nodded after hearing Rem’s words, and then started calculating. “This time we need someone who can coordinate development, is extremely smart, and very reliable. Well, it seems that only Riku and Kurokami Shinku are suitable candidates. There are not many people who can coordinate.”

However, after sensing it for a moment, Senju knew that Kurokami Shinkuro was a busy vice principal in the Dimensional School World, while Riku was carrying out a ten-year multi-Earth exchange project. The project was now nearing its final stage, and neither of them could leave.

He could create clones of the two, but then again, why not use fakes for real people? If Senju were to create two people, the created individuals would truly exist, which could lead to a series of problems. Thinking about it, Senju rejected the idea.

“Others should also be fine, for example, Mr. Reinhard,” Rem suggested, sensing Senju’s distress. Senju clapped her hands and said, “That’s a good choice. Oh, and there are a lot of Servants, Eirin Yagokoro is also a good choice. Thank you, Rem.”

"No, it's nothing. It's just a pity that my sister and I don't have the talent for 'coordinating'," Rem shook her head slightly and closed her eyes. Senju sensed everyone's condition. Good, Reinhard is fine now. Speaking of which, he married a wife in the Food Wars world and now has an eight-year-old daughter. This surprised Senju a little, since his wife was a completely ordinary person. Well, now she is also Senju's familia and has gained a long life.

Then look at Eirin Yagokoro. She's super busy right now. As mentioned before, she's helping out with a virtual game player competition held worldwide, but actually, it's Eirin Yagokoro who's doing the helping.

Heroic Spirits are easy to command; they can just send any Servant clone over, like the King of Conquerors. Besides, some mages could also come to analyze the rules here. Thinking this, Senju extended an invitation to the group.

Chapter 1899 Guild - Bo Ye

The invitation was quickly met with a response. The entire Reinhard family came, as he wanted to broaden his daughter's horizons; the King of Conquerors also came, declaring his intention to conquer the world; and the number of mages was considerable: one magician, twenty Grand Mages, and sixty Color Rank Mages. It's worth noting that the Mage's Association's influence has grown considerably; they originally intended to send a magic legion of five hundred, but this was rejected by Senju.

Looking at the group of people around him, Senju tapped his finger, conveying the information about the area and also mentioning the game system. However, this system did not affect their current strength; it was simply an extra source of power.

"Conqueror King, are you sure you can act independently?" Thousand Hands glanced at Conqueror King, who was curiously browsing the game interface. Conqueror King nodded. "Of course, no problem. But what do you need me to do next?"

"Hmm, go to the European server, restore order there, and you can build the empire you want there, no problem. But you're not allowed to engage in wanton slaughter and plunder," Thousand Hands said, just as the Conqueror King was scratching his chin. "Slaughter and plunder..."

"Well, these adventurers are a useful force. The earth people are too weak. Hmm, I'll leave this to me."

"Then it's up to you. Your Noble Phantasm will work fine here." Although she felt something was off, Senju waved her hand and teleported him to the European server. Then she looked at the group of magicians and the leader of the magicians, whom she didn't recognize. "Go and investigate the magic system of this world. There are many monsters. Be careful. If you die here, you will lose a very faint memory and then be resurrected. Be careful."

"Understood," the magicians bowed and left. Once outside the palace gates, they took out various tools to test the rules of this world. Soon they discovered something was wrong; this place seemed to be only a quarter the size of Earth, and the magic base was different. They checked the system panel, began to choose their professions, and then went to the library to find magic books.

"Then what should I do?" Reinhard asked curiously. Senju nodded. "In this world, the food is terrible. I need you to conquer the players with your superb cooking skills, then improve the lives of the people here and complete the missing link in the law."

“Cooking skills,” Reinhard thought of the chefs he had talked to before, “Senju-sama, perhaps the chefs from Chef God Star (Earth in the Food Wars world) can help. We can send some people over to promote their cooking skills.”

“That’s a good suggestion, but you should choose the specific people yourself. By the way,” he said, with a flick of his fingers, two necklaces flew to Reinhard’s wife and daughter. “This is an absolute defense item. Once it recognizes its owner, it can defend against all attacks. Take it and play with it. It’s still a bit dangerous here.”

“This, Rhine…” His wife, Nagase Miharu, hesitated, but Senju waved her hand, “In this world, Rhine doesn’t need something like this. No one can hurt him.”

“That’s right, Miharu, you and Reiko should take them.” Seeing Reinhard nod, the two accepted the items and then bowed slightly to Senju, “Thank you, God.”

“It’s alright. After all, you’ll be staying here for a while, so safety comes first,” Senju waved his hand and looked at Reinhard. “I will be the guild leader here for a while to quell the chaos. However, I won’t be the guild leader for too long. After that, I’ll leave it to you to be the guild leader for a while. It’s up to you to figure out how to adjust the relationship between the players and the Earthlings.”

“Yes, leave it to me,” Reinhardt nodded, knowing the situation here, and then added, “Once I find someone who can maintain order here, I should be able to transfer the leadership, right?”

“Of course,” Senju nodded, then stood up. “Let’s go to the guild hall and create a guild. There are still many things to do after that.”

Then the group headed towards the guild hall. It was quite noisy outside, with players discussing various things, such as real food and the establishment of the guild. They were very lively, and some people even cooked normal dishes, which immediately enlivened the atmosphere.

Of course, some who planned to leave returned after discovering the city was under lockdown. They then heard news from the players who attended the meeting, learned about the various dangers, and saw hundreds of players who wanted to cause trouble being struck by lightning and killed. After that, they became much more obedient.

Upon learning that everyone would be merged into one guild, the crowd immediately began to clamor. However, they only clamored and dared not do anything. After all, the player who controlled this area was too powerful. He not only possessed the items that could completely kill players, but also controlled the guild hall and the Great Temple. They could not resist.

Upon arriving at the Guild Hall, Thousand Hands discovered that this seemingly ordinary building was actually a collection of multiple subspaces. Behind each door was a guild hall, and the subspaces inside included various facilities.

Registering a guild here grants access to the subspace, allowing for various settings. Even if the game becomes reality, the guild registration function will still exist! And it's still so unrealistic. Of course, the explanation here is that it's a privilege bestowed upon adventurers by the gods, and the application of spatial magic, blah blah blah~ But disbanding a guild won't cause the subspace to disappear.

To be honest, Senju was somewhat speechless. The various unrealistic aspects made him feel as if 'this world is stuck in the process of transformation'.

Looking at the bank inside the guild hall, he felt even more compelled to complain. Even without the mandatory nature of the game system, everyone was still storing items and money here, not afraid that the people in charge would run away. However, the bank was indeed heavily guarded, with puppet guards patrolling the area to maintain order in the city.

Shaking his head, Senju still created a guild called Susukino here, with himself as the guild master, Reinhard as the vice guild master, and the remaining members being Rem, Nagase Miharu, Reiko, a bunch of magicians, and a bunch of chefs.

Then Senju met many guild leaders here. Although the guilds were of different sizes, they all had to be merged into Senju's guild. Then came the three-day merger period. Many people had objections, but under the threat of the right to use the facilities and the temptation of super delicious food, the players quickly became members of Susukino's guild.

Of course, Senju was only responsible for suppressing the guild with force and incidentally spending money to expand the guild's maximum membership. Most other matters were handled by Reinhard and Rem, who promoted them.

A considerable number of people have joined, and the guild's functions are gradually being completed.

Chapter 1900 The Changing City

Three days later, order was restored in Susukino. The players were now obsessed with food, well, it was the super-large restaurant run by Rhine and a group of chefs. After just one meal, the players were completely conquered by the taste. Although they could now make food that tasted normal, it was definitely not comparable to professional super chefs. Those chefs would be considered super high-level chefs in the players' original world.

In addition, the Earthlings' management organization has also been restored. After several days of investigation, they have also collected information on the Earthlings of Susukino. However, looking at the report on the damage to the Earthlings in his hand, Senju still shook his head helplessly. The players had gone too far before. It's really tiring to ask for compensation now. He casually clicked on the interface and used his administrator privileges to add 30 million gold coins to himself.

"Rem, have the people in the Discipline Inspection Department and the Finance Department verify the contents of this list, and then make the compensation," Senju said after transferring the funds to Rem. Rem nodded and then went to find the people.

Thousand Hands glanced at the pile of documents on the table, rolled his eyes slightly. He didn't need to do this himself. He clapped his hands, and two players entered. "Guild Master, what are your orders?"

"Send these documents to the Joint Council," Qianzhi pointed to a pile of documents on the side. He had little interest in these messy documents. "Honestly, they still haven't figured out electronic office systems? Tell the production department to speed up their research on magic motors and try to make computers within a month."

"Yes," the two players said, then carried away a pile of documents. This guild leader isn't quite right in the head. How can electronic office work be this fast? The order was given just yesterday. Looking at the phone in the guild leader's hand, they wanted it too, but they didn't dare to speak up.

Ever since Thousand Hands hung several troublesome players on the flagpole the day before yesterday, banned them from using the Great Temple, and hacked them to death a hundred times, most people have become completely obedient.

Well, of course, some people wanted to escape, but the city's lockdown hadn't been lifted yet. Thinking about it, Senju decided to go out for a stroll to see if it was time to lift the lockdown.

Once on the street, the atmosphere was quite lively, and order had been restored considerably. The scenes of looting and vandalism were gone. The players were discussing food and the development of secondary professions. Based on the situation here, Qian Shou gave everyone a lot of advice on secondary professions.

Sensing the improved atmosphere, Senju thought for a moment and then called the members of the joint meeting. These were the former guild leaders who had now become 'councilors' managing city affairs. Senju called them to prepare that he would soon lift the city's restrictions.

The councilors breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the city lockdown had put immense pressure on the players. However, the players dared not vent their anger on Thousand Hands, so they could only take it out on these councilors. Now that the lockdown was finally being lifted, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and continued their preparations. After all, there were all sorts of issues to consider. The guild leader was incredibly powerful and didn't have to think about anything, but they had to consider many things.

After Thousand Hands made their way around, they went to the Far Moon Hotel for dinner. This was the restaurant where Rhine and the others had come from. It could accommodate three thousand people at the same time and had several sections, including regular food, bento boxes, snacks, and so on.

However, upon entering the hall with two hundred tables, Senju was dismayed to find it full, with many people queuing up. Shrugging, he went to buy some fast-food fried chicken. Well, there were people queuing up here too. Senju figured he had nothing else to do, so he joined the queue at the back.

While listening to the surrounding players' discussions, it was clear that few people were talking about Thousand Hands anymore. They were mainly discussing how the delicious food here was made and why their friends, who were clearly top-notch chefs, couldn't make such delicious food.

Then someone revealed that, according to information her friend overheard while working in the kitchen, the restaurant was actually founded by chefs from a super chef academy, and the current vice president of the guild, Reinhard, is a world-class chef. Then they had various discussions.

Thousand Hands, who was listening nearby, also joined in the gossip, saying that he had heard from his friend's neighbor's son's relative that Reinhard was a superstar with countless fans in Europe and America. By the way, Reinhard was also a super stylist and a super gambling god, and everyone started gossiping.

However, the gossip quickly veered towards the Thousand Hands. Everyone was very interested in this mysterious and powerful guild leader. Of course, the main topic was when the city would be unsealed, and incidentally, the matter of leveling up and fighting monsters. Eating here was great, but a bit expensive, as they were almost out of money.

In fact, some players are already running out of money. Those guys are tearfully saying they'd rather starve than eat tasteless food. Some players are even reluctantly selling their equipment, which they just took from red-named players and returned to them.

Hearing this, Senju was speechless. Eating really is the first human need. Then the people around him started talking about missions and such. However, after the change here, many missions in the city became invalid. The Earthlings no longer issued repeatable missions and gave everyone a reward. Now the missions have all become one-time missions.
