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

Some adventurers recognized Chen Hai and greeted him happily.

"Oh! Lord City Lord!"

"After reading the guild's announcement, I thought you were our deceitful enemy, but I never expected you to be our savior!!"

"You're here! This is the fruit I bought! Would you like some?"

"Look at it now! There are so many more outsiders in Orario!"

what is the reason?

Chen Hai took an apple and handed it to Hestia beside him, while glancing around the scene.

"Where did they all come from?"

"Most of them are merchants from cities that are relatively close to Orario. Some are three hours away, while others are less than half a day away. They all came here because they heard that the production of magic stones would increase."

In the setting of "DanMachi", Orario monopolizes most of the Materia in the world due to the existence of the dungeons.

These magic stones have a wide range of uses. They can be used to make household items such as lamps, refrigerators, and heaters, or as an energy source, equivalent to the power source in the world of Orario. They can also be used for forging, making potions, and so on, and have a wide range of practical value.

Moreover, unlike modern society, this 'medieval' world does not have facilities such as power plants; the core of all technology is the 'magic stone'.

Therefore, after adventurers obtain magic stones in dungeons, the guilds are responsible for recycling the magic stones and giving the adventurers money. At the same time, they employ a large number of laborers to produce magic stone products. Magic stone products sell well all over the world and become the economic pillar of the city, which makes Orario prosperous.

Now that adventurers no longer have to worry about their lives, all they have to do is desperately fight off monsters and obtain the dropped magic stones or mine the veins.

Incidentally, if adventurers try to slack off and avoid fighting monsters, they often end up getting beaten black and blue, or even having their equipment and weapons stolen.

To put it bluntly, while Chenhai provides protection, these adventurers must also demonstrate their 'performance' (combat skills), otherwise all benefits will be irrelevant to them.

"Orario, as the city that produces the most Materia, has always been the core of this world, and the supply has always been insufficient, especially some high-quality Materia, which can sustain a household's lighting for a year."

"Thanks to Mr. Chen Hai, the efficiency of excavating magic stones has increased a lot. As long as we work hard to defeat the monsters, we will reap the rewards."

"Let me say it again, you are the savior!"

"Savior!"

The source of humanity's crisis—the underground cities—are terrifying;

But its master, City Lord Chen Hai, is regarded as a savior by the people.

The contrast is quite striking.

Chen Hai urged everyone to work harder and continue developing the underground city.

At the same time, his level is steadily increasing.

We've now reached LV.160!

Satisfied, Chen Hai looked at Hestia beside him.

"Are apples delicious?"

"Very sweet."

"That's good."

Want a bite?

When asked this question, Chen Hai looked at Hestia's cheek.

"Let's talk about it when we're alone."

"I didn't tell you to bite me!"

Hestia blushed and took another bite of the apple.

Upon arriving at the Adventurers' Guild, the adventurers, who were initially worried about the new system and fearful of the dungeon lords, completely changed their attitudes.

After understanding the risks and benefits, they discovered that Chenhai's rules would benefit more people.

This is what Chen Hai mentioned earlier: the 'whip' and the 'candy'.

Those who do not cooperate, whether gods or humans, will be completely destroyed;

Whoever the other party is, will gain some benefits.

Chenhai's ultimate goal is to make working people feel that "working is happiness".

I don't think this will be used as a street light fixture, right?

Chen Hai is not a demon; he offers adventurers the opportunity to change the future.

After greeting the adventurers on the first floor, the two arrived at the second-floor lounge.

The previously broken wall was magically repaired and cleaned up again.

As soon as I took my seat, I saw Eina arrive at the scene.

"Where's that Royman guy?"

"The president is resting. He said he's not feeling well. Should I go and wake him up?"

"No need. If he gets sick, we can replace him with another president. Do you have any candidates in mind?"

"Huh? Um... I don't know."

Eina was stunned for a moment when faced with this question.

Because the Adventurers' Guild, which Royman manages, has a huge daily trading volume.

There can be tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of orders per day.

Eina couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

She didn't continue the topic and opened a notebook.

"After the chairman told me to see the two of you, I immediately brought them up to report."

"That old man is quite clever."

"Ha ha……"

After giving a dry laugh, Eina read the contents of the notebook aloud.

"After the rules for exploring dungeons were changed, adventurers' efficiency in obtaining magic stones increased by at least 25%, and the number of adventurers going to dungeons at any given time was also much higher than before."

Eina's meaning is very simple

"After the profits increased, everyone became more proactive. There was even an adventurer who came back to sell his magic stones within half an hour. He shouted 'Long live the city lord' while exchanging money, which proves that your strategy was quite successful."

The adventurers in Orario are also very simple-minded.

Guided by Chenhai's interests, they have become the chosen workers who shout "Long live working!"

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Sword Maiden Ais's Request! The First City Member Contract!

On the second floor of the Adventurers' Guild, in the newly renovated lounge, Eina's report was not yet finished.

She temporarily handed over the work to her colleague, checked the recorded data, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Judging from the current situation, the new rules formulated by Mr. Chenhai are more beneficial than harmful."

"For adventurers, as long as they fight hard and are not killed, they can gain benefits."

"Not only that, according to the updated plan for adventurer cards, adventurer activity areas will not conflict, which can prevent the theft or robbery of achievements; the guild used to encounter this problem frequently, but due to the complexity of the dungeon, they had no idea of the true identities of those masked thieves."

"Based on everyone's feedback, they really like this standardized 'dungeon exploration arrangement'."

"The guild once formulated laws targeting dungeon thieves, but they were not very effective, perhaps because they were not enforced enough."

"Unlike them, the people Mr. Chenhai blocks will never be able to enter or leave the dungeon, which has a huge impact."

"Of course, there are some complaints. For example, some adventurers are not satisfied with the time slots they are assigned. Some want half an hour in the morning, and some hope to go to the dungeon at night. Mr. Chenhai, you don't need to worry about this. The guild will handle everything."

Eina finished speaking in one breath, which proved that Chenhai's plan was very effective.

"You've worked hard too, Miss Eina. You must have had a lot of work today."

"Yes, but most of the work is concentrated in the morning. I believe it will be much easier in the afternoon, especially the work related to acquiring magic stones. The guild has specially assigned more people and also hired some members of the merchant guild."

Everything is moving in a better direction.

Moreover, in terms of experience point acquisition, Chen Hai believes that the speed is twice as fast as before.

In the past, adventurers explored and fought in dungeons in scattered groups, but now it has all become systematic, large-scale, and efficient.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

When Eina opened the door, she found it was Michael.

Sorry to bother you, everyone~

Michael said with a smile

"Mr. Chenhai, there is a guest here who wants to see you."

"who is it?"

"Loki, the chief god of the Loki Familia."

The familiar deity reappeared in their field of vision.

Ais and Riveria accompanied her.

Eina, who was packing her things, did not disturb the conversation. She left the scene with Misha and handed the lounge over to the five people present.

After taking his seat, Loki let out a long sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness. I thought we wouldn't be able to find Brother Chen Hai. If you were deep in the underground city, we would have no choice but to wait for you here."

"We were indeed in the 'Abyss Floor' just now."

"Oh? Is there something you need to do?"

"Nothing special, just feeding Dionysus to my dragon. He didn't struggle at all along the way, quite boring."

"You mean...you killed that guy?"

Loki's expression changed as he sought the real answer.

After nodding in response, before Chen Hai could explain, Hestia spoke first.

"That guy tried to deceive Chenhaijun, planning to eliminate other gods and their families by joining forces; in Dionysus's description, Loki... your family is probably the first to be eliminated, because you have many powerful family members and pose a great threat."

“I can understand to some extent. Dionysus was not right in the celestial realm, and he was very good at pretending when he came to the mortal realm. Since we didn’t have any dirt on him, we didn’t say anything at the ‘Gods’ meeting,’ but you guys took care of him so easily.”

"So you mean you've had your eye on him for a while now?"

“That’s right. In my opinion, Dionysus is a threat to the stability of Orario. I don’t want my Familia to fall in the dungeon under his influence.”

Therefore, Loki couldn't help but applaud the killing of Dionysus.

Riveria then brought up the follow-up issues.

"What should be done with his family?"

"We can discuss this later."

Chen Hai remembered the plot about Dionysus.

He had a beautiful female captain under his command, who was killed by him and turned into a monster—Philwis Sharia.

Phil was originally Lv.3, but after being transformed into a monster, her actual combat power is equivalent to Lv.7 (higher level).

To put it bluntly, he's a high-ranking working-class person.

In the city of Orario, its strength is second only to Ota.

"Let's put that aside for now. What do you want from me?"
