A man mistakenly becomes the city lord of the land, conquering all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Hey! You're kidding, right?! I'm planning to go down to the lower levels with the team! That way I'll get more experience and treasures!"

"That situation is very risky. You're just going there to fool around, not to fight, right?"

"None of your business!"

"I'm just telling the truth."

"So what exactly should we do in the future? I don't quite understand."

Just as the adventurers were wondering what was going on, a voice rang out.

"I will answer this question in the simplest way possible."

Everyone looked back.

Chen Hai appeared at the end of the crowd.

With Hestia by his side, he took a step forward, and the onlookers instinctively made way for him.

Upon seeing the 'Lord of the Underground City' suddenly appear at the door, Eina and Misha exchanged a glance and hurriedly went to greet him.

Good morning, Mr. Chenhai.

Good morning, Mr. Chenhai!

Chenhai slowed down

"Hello, I hope I haven't disturbed your work."

The two women shook their heads repeatedly.

At this moment, Chen Hai walked to the notice board and spoke to the adventurers who were waiting for answers.

"Just think of 'exploring dungeons' as work assigned by the company. Your level is your work station, and different work stations will be assigned to different floors. As long as you update your adventurer card, you will be assigned to a specific floor for training and exploration at a specified time. You will be compensated if any problems occur."

Company? Workstation? Specific time?

Working class?

The free-spirited adventurers came to this conclusion.

Some people frowned

"Since when do we have to obey the guild's orders to enter and exit dungeons?"

"What about our freedom? Who would agree to that?"

"If there's a guarantee, I think it's pretty good. Anyway, I can't go to the deeper levels, and my level hasn't changed."

"I simply cannot accept it!"

Adventurers from all over the world simply want to explore the unknown labyrinth according to their own will.

But just then, a voice broke the chaos and cut in.

"I totally agree."

Everyone looked in that direction. The person who agreed with Chenhai's new rules was Loki, the chief god of the Loki Familia.

Chapter 18 Ais: Are you... an enemy? Chen Hai: I'm the boss (Please add to your favorites! Give flowers! Leave a review!)

Orario, the labyrinth city, the main gate of the Adventurers' Guild.

After the notice was posted, the people who gathered there had different opinions.

Some people cannot accept the restrictions of the new rules and insist on defending their freedom as adventurers;

Some people hope to act immediately in accordance with the announcement, as this would ensure the safety and benefits of exploring the maze.

Listening to the arguments, Chen Hai understood the current situation.

After all, the rules he set broke the concepts and habits that Orario adventurers had formed over the years, and future explorations would therefore become more systematic, rational, and efficient.

Hestia, standing in the center of the commotion, leaned close to Chen Hai and whispered...

"Do you feel there are more people opposing it?"

"That's true, after all, adventurers are free."

Chen Hai wasn't surprised.

This is actually why various time-travel novels have become so popular.

Compared to the constraints of modern society, adventurers in another world can pursue thrills, challenge powerful enemies, seek out serendipitous encounters, and change their destiny.

That being said, there are quite a few adventurers in Orario who want to be wage earners.

For them, being an 'adventurer' is just one of the high-risk professions that make money. If they can get security, who would refuse?

Risking one's life for freedom?

This is seen as a foolish move by some.

The argument was interrupted by Loki, who suddenly appeared on the scene.

The Loki Familia, one of the two major Familias of Labyrinth City, is known for its formidable strength.

Chen Hai's gaze also passed over Loki and landed on her back.

Ais, Riveria, the Amazon sisters, Lefia, and Finn, the leader of the group, all came to the scene.

When the adventurers saw the Loki Familia appear, they all fell silent.

"Hey, good morning, Chen Hai! I hope I haven't interrupted your date?"

Dating?

Hestia looked at Loki, then at Chen Hai.

She didn't consider it a date, but she didn't deny it either.

Chen Hai replied with a smile.

"No, I was thinking of inviting Miss Loki along."

"I'm sorry, but please allow me to refuse. After all, my familia boasts Orario's most beautiful female swordswoman!"

After Loki finished speaking, he moved closer to Ais, but she immediately pushed him away, saying he was "too close."

Looking disappointed, Loki turned to the adventurers around him.

"Let me say it again, fellow adventurers, the entire Loki Familia supports this new rule because it governs the exploration of dungeons! It is the rule that holds the greatest promise of changing everything."

"It's quite surprising that Miss Loki agreed so easily."

"This is the result of weighing the pros and cons, and I'm not some foolish villain in a story; I know what to support and what to oppose."

After Loki made his stance clear, the silent adventurers began to discuss amongst themselves again.

In their eyes, Loki, as the chief god of the 'Loki Familia,' one of the largest and strongest factions in Orario, is a seemingly carefree but actually very cunning being.

And such an important figure actually agreed with the announcement issued by the Adventurers' Guild.

This made everyone curious about the identity of Chen Hai, who had just explained the announcement.

"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go inside and talk."

"no problem."

Chen Hai accepted Loki's suggestion, and together they headed deeper into the Adventurers' Guild.

Seeing this, Eina and Misha quickly set off to lead the way.

This time, they went not to the lounge where Chen Hai had previously pierced through them with a single blow, but to the VIP room on the top floor.

Guild Master Royman was waiting at the door of the room.

Chen Hai saw him and waved.

"What follows is my conversation with Loki and the others; you don't need to participate."

"But Mr. Chenhai, some revisions are needed regarding the follow-up issues of the new regulations."

"With the basic rules in place, there's nothing else to worry about. You can go and rest now."

"I, I understand..."

As the guild master of the adventurers' guild, Royman dared not say a word, and with a solemn expression, he obediently withdrew from the scene.

Seeing this, everyone in the Loki Familia was surprised.

As the supreme leader of the Adventurers' Guild, how the labyrinth city of Orario is run depends entirely on Royman's arrangements.

Yet this person in a superior position was extremely respectful and obedient in front of Chen Hai.

Standing behind Loki, Riveria, her expression turning serious, recalled the information Loki had given everyone the previous night.

"The lord of the underground city..."

"I'm not joking, you really mean it."

Beside Riveria, a slightly uneasy Lefia continued her speech.

Ais, who was closest to Loki, showed a hint of doubt on her expressionless, pale face.

Push open the door and enter the VIP room.

The interior is luxuriously decorated.

The floor was covered with exquisite carpets, and expensive glass chandeliers hung from the ceiling. In the center were three pale gold sofas, which were usually used to entertain wealthy merchants and nobles from afar.

Chen Hai and Hestia sat on the east side, while Loki, Finn, Ais, Riveria, and others sat on the west side.

The remaining few people stood by the window, leaning against the wall, waiting for the next part of the conversation.

Before Loki, the chief god, could speak, Chen Hai spoke first.

"It seems that Miss Loki's family members have something to say. Please feel free to ask questions, and I will answer them one by one, although I cannot guarantee that I will satisfy you."

Before she finished speaking, Ais leaned forward slightly.

She looked at Chen Hai and asked quite bluntly.

"Loki told me you are the 'Lord of the Underground City,' so... are you an enemy?"

After asking this question, everyone's eyes fell on Chen Hai.

What does 'Dungeon Lord' mean?

The ruler of the 'underground city,' the greatest threat to humanity in the last thousand years!

This is also why Loki asked the question—he wanted to confirm Chen Hai's stance.

Even if it's just a verbal explanation.

"This was an expected question, so my answer was quite simple..."

Chen Hai and Ai Si locked eyes.

"I am not your enemy, but the adventurers' boss."

The "DanMachi" maze is recruiting employees, with five social insurances and one housing fund to ensure safety.

This was Chen Hai's original plan.

Turn all the adventurers in Orario, whether they are LV1, LV6, or even LV7, into laborers who grind experience for themselves.
