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

Chen Hai suddenly replied with this sentence.

Challenging the Black Dragon?!

Loki was taken aback.

She knew very well the consequences of challenging the Black Dragon.

The ancient heroes and warriors merely drove it away;

The once strongest 'Zeus Familia' and 'Hera Familia' went to fight, but lost all their core fighting force.

This even includes the Empress at level 9!

"If you're not satisfied with this, you can fight me. I don't mind."

Chen Hai is willing to accept Ais's challenge.

The swordswoman looked at the person in front of her...

She harbored no hostility deep down.

Because Fiora only wants to defeat that black dragon, nothing more.

"However, you are too weak now, but under the rules I have set, you will continue to grow stronger."

"Can different levels explore the rules of different floors?"

"Yes, you haven't been to the real depths yet, have you? Like the seventieth or eightieth floor... There are stronger monsters there, as well as all sorts of materials for strengthening the body and priceless magic stones. As long as you are qualified, I will grant you the right to go to that floor."

"As the 'Lord of the Dungeon,' why are you helping adventurers who should be your enemies?"

Ais was curious about this.

Loki then asked...

"Aren't you worried that the adventurers will become too powerful and directly target you for extermination?"

"As long as I become stronger, that's all that matters."

"Haha, that's a really funny answer."

Loki couldn't help but laugh, convinced he had made the right choice.

When collaborating with others, you should choose people who are confident and capable.

"I've been to the 'Abyss Floor,' you know. There are powerful monsters there, and also very beautiful scenery."

At this moment, Hestia suddenly spoke up.

Which floor specifically?

Riveria asked curiously.

The Blue Ribbon Goddess said with a proud look

"Chen Hai took me to the 'Abyss Floor', which is a hundred floors above the ground floor."

"...!!"

This answer silenced the audience.

Neither Loki nor Ais knew how to express their current feelings.

Before and after Orario was built, not a single adventurer ever reached the 100th floor.

For example, people have come to accept that 'there will never be such a hero'.

For the inhabitants of Orario, the deepest floors are like the moon reflected in water—you know where they are, but they are illusory and untouchable.

"It's actually after the hundredth floor..."

Finn, the leader of the Loki Familia, felt that his worldview had been shaken.

But thinking about it carefully, this is normal...

The person sitting in front of everyone is the Lord of the Underground City, who has existed for thousands of years and is feared even by the gods!

"Let's not just talk to you, let's gather the other clans together tonight and have a chat as well."

“I agree with that. Otherwise, some clans might misunderstand Brother Chenhai and cause some trouble.”

"A clan that's causing me trouble?"

"No, no, no, I meant that if we were hostile towards you, it would be a lot of trouble to clean up the mess after we were all wiped out."

Loki began to boast without batting an eye.

No wonder people say she's very shrewd.

After listening, Chen Hai gave the instructions.

"Can I leave this to you, Loki?"

"no problem."

Luo Ji stood up and bowed.

"I will obey the city lord's orders."

The waiting process needs no further explanation.

Led by Hestia, Chen Hai strolled around the bustling Orario, and soon night fell.

"We've finally found you!"

On the second floor of an open-air restaurant in the eighth area on the northwest side of Orario, Chen Hai sat in a corner enjoying the breeze.

Hestia, standing beside him, was intently studying the delicious snacks on the round table, wondering whether to sell them as a new product besides potato balls.

When Chen Hai said, "If you're short on money, just go to the dungeon and sell any magic stone you find," Hestia, who had just realized what he meant, was about to reply when she was interrupted by a voice from the side.

"Excuse me! Lord Chenhai! Lady Hestia!"

The girl standing in front of the two was panting heavily.

"You are... a member of the 'Loki Familia' whom I met once in the VIP room before, right?"

“You actually remember me? My name is Lefia, Lefia Viridis!”

"Is Loki ready?"

"Yes, because everyone is busy, I'm the one who's informing you both."

After Lefia finished speaking, she looked at the desserts in front of Hestia.

"This dessert is delicious, isn't it, Lady Hestia?"

"That's right, that's right, this is the second one. I was thinking of researching how to make it and then selling it for money, but for now..."

Hestia glanced at Chen Hai

"There's no need for that."

"Instead of cooking for others, why not cook it for me to try?"

"Sure, if Chen Hai is interested!"

The Blue Ribbon Goddess nodded repeatedly.

Lei, who came to inform her, smiled slightly.

"This dessert is limited in both quantity and season, because some of the ingredients come from rare flowers found in the crevices of the rocks on the 26th floor."

"How do you know this?"

"Actually, I've also done some research and plan to give Miss Ais a surprise."

The girl who admires Ais is also secretly working hard, which is commendable.

"Would you like to try some?"

"Oh? No, no, please don't mind me."

Levia quickly refused.

She's here to work, not to eat.

But Hestia didn't care about that; she grabbed the girl's hand and pulled her to her side.

"Let's order her another one."

Chen Hai picked up the menu.

Overwhelmed with gratitude, Leivia quickly said

"How could I possibly accept that! Besides, you two have other plans for the future."

"What is meant?"

"Before heading to the venue, Lord Loki commissioned a tailor to make formal attire for you two. You can change there if you wish, and I can show you the way."

Loki was very well prepared.

Chen Hai hadn't considered changing his clothes.

However, Hestia became interested.

She handed the snacks to the slightly flustered Lefia, then moved closer to Chen Hai.

"Has Chenhai-kun not changed his clothes during this time?"

"I'm not dirty."

I didn't sweat either.

But Hestia didn't care about that at all.

"I think Chen Haijun would definitely look more handsome in a formal suit than he does now."

"I think so too!"

Unable to refuse the kind offer, Lefia ate the pastry and agreed, with cream still stuck to the corner of her mouth.

Chen Hai handed over a tissue and left his seat.

"Then let's go and have a look."

Before heading to the venue, we had a new destination.

The tailor shop arranged by Loki.

While Chen Hai was trying on clothes inside, Lefia, who had accompanied the two to the event, approached Hestia and whispered...

"My Goddess... just who is that gentleman?"

"Actually, I've only known Chen Hai for about a day."

"Is that right?"

"Yes."

Hestia started talking about this topic.

"I haven't spent much time with Chen Hai, so it's impossible for me to understand him so easily, but one thing I'm sure of is that he's not an enemy of Orario."

"The idea of ​​a 'dungeon lord' cooperating with adventurers feels like a dream."

The stories Lefia had heard before, apart from those depicting magnificent heroic tales, were mostly about the misfortune of monsters ravaging the land.

Instead of launching an attack, the current rulers of the dungeon are helping the Adventurers' Guild to establish new rules.

This was completely beyond Lefia's imagination.

"As for the real situation, I think you should see for yourself. After all, everyone has a different perspective. I'm just giving you a reference."

"So when Lady Hestia met Mr. Chen Hai and learned of his identity, she wasn't flustered at all?"

“There is definitely tension. After all, for us gods, the dungeon can create ‘god assassins’ who can ignore divine power, but Chen Hai doesn’t have that kind of terrifying aura.”
