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

"Don't worry, it's a world that doesn't pose much of a threat to you."

Chen Hai assigned these heretics the task of "guarding the gate" on the seventeenth floor.

After completing the teleportation with the six heretics, Chen Hai and his group arrived near the 'Dimensional Gate' on the seventeenth floor.

"Wow..."

Winnie showed excitement for the first time.

She saw another dimension of "Dead Body" through the 'Dimensional Gate'.

Apart from the woods behind the mountain, there were streets, buildings, and all sorts of novel sights that the heretics had never seen before.

"What are those square things? Are they places to live?"

Mary, who was transported here with the pool, stared at the other world, her curiosity swelling and filled with doubts, eager to know the answers.

Chen Hai explained this.

"The square boxes were all human dwellings, as were those towering objects, but they've all been abandoned now because a terrible virus has appeared there that turns humans into monsters."

After the brief explanation, the heretics memorized this information.

Stone Dragon Guros then asked

"What are we supposed to do, Lord City Lord? Is it enough to just stay here?"

"It's not just about staying here."

Chen Hai walked to the vicinity of the dimensional gate, raised his hand and waved it, and a pit twenty meters deep immediately appeared under his feet.

"I need you to guard this 'dimensional gate' while causing some commotion over there to attract the humans who have turned into monsters. Once those humans fall into the deep pit of the dungeon, then kill them all."

Chenhai's current design is similar to the mob farm in Minecraft.

In the game Minecraft, players can build a facility that spawns monsters, causes them to fall to their deaths, and drops items using specific methods.

Cheng Hai's goal is to have the heretics attract those otherworldly 'dead bodies' to the underground city, so that they can be eliminated in the end.

Thus, with Chen Hai's authorization, Guross passed through the dimensional gate.

Guros, breathing in the fresh air, let out a roar.

Not long after, 'dead bodies' appeared.

Although Chen Hai had cleaned up the school buildings before, there were still zombies all over the city, so it was normal for them to wander into this area.

Upon seeing the target, Guros immediately retreated to the underground city and waited for the 'dead body' to fall into the pit.

"That's the process."

Chen Hai affirmed Gu Ross's actions from the side.

"It's simple. We can even kill humans, even though they're all lifeless creatures..."

Gu Long was very satisfied with this job.

And Lei couldn't help but ask

"How exactly is this world connected to the dungeon?"

"My power connected them, but that's not important. You just need to do your job well to have your wishes fulfilled. By the way, the more 'dead bodies' you attract, the faster your wishes will be fulfilled."

Chen Hai made a grand promise.

The heretics had no objection to this.

Can I take a look over there too?

The timid Winnie mustered her courage and asked Chen Hai.

Seeing Chen Hai nod, Winnie took a step and passed through the dimensional gate.

At this moment, a new 'dead body' appeared, and she quickly crossed the pit and retreated back to the underground city.

pat!

The second corpse fell into the deep pit.

"This is your job."

After making a point, Chen Hai expressed his anticipation for their future performance.

He personally believes that this DanMachi version of the mob farm will bring a lot of experience.

Chapter 47: Experience Points from Nuclear War!? The Heretics' New Mission!

*Thud!* *Bang!*

Strange noises echoed from the entrance to the 17th floor of the dungeon, at the 'Dimensional Gate'.

Attracted by Guros's shouts, the 'dead bodies' fell one after another into the pit dug by Chen Hai, like chickens lining up to enter a cage.

Once the number exceeded ten, Reed unleashed a magical attack on the terrifying monsters that had lost their lives and were covered in blood.

As a sudden burst of wind and light erupted, the undead in the pit fell completely still.

Chen Hai's experience points also increased accordingly.

From this perspective, even things without 'real life' can become Chen Hai's experience points.

As long as the act of 'combat' exists during the process.

The only downside is the limited experience points.

However, as the saying goes, "many grains of sand make a tower," and the world in which Saeko Busujima and others live contains a large number of "dead bodies."

A city has at least several hundred thousand people.

Excluding survivors and the dead, the number is definitely over 100,000.

However, it's impossible for all of these 'dead bodies' to obediently move into Chen Hai's cave.

Therefore, having the heretics in charge of this place was merely a preliminary step.

Chen Hai plans to take over the island nation of Xiao Rizi through the adventurers of Orario when the time is right.

Finally, using the island nation as a springboard, we will completely conquer the 'dead' dimension where the zombie virus has broken out.

So then—

Once the alien invasion rate reaches 100%, all battles and conflicts on the entire planet will be converted into experience points for the host; moreover, due to the recent crisis, the nations of the "Dead Bodies" dimension will inevitably clash over new markets and resources.

The system analyzed Chen Hai's thoughts and provided a brief summary.

This system is pretty good...

This reminded Chen Hai of the 'unique skill' in another reincarnation work—the Great Sage.

This skill belongs to Mikami Satoru, who is reincarnated as a slime. It can help the protagonist to think faster, analyze objects, and make appraisals, etc.

This system believes itself to be stronger.

Having self-confidence is not a bad thing.

[This system eagerly anticipates the day when the host successfully conquers a certain world.]

Speaking of this...

Assuming that the "Dead Body" dimension is completely taken over and people realize the power of Chenhai, how can those countries be made to fight?

[This system has a suggestion, and it's safe to say the host is fully aware of it.]

what?

As Chen Hai grew curious, the system continued...

In human society, there's a genre of fiction called "national destiny intertwined." You can create wars and battlefields to allow representatives from different countries to compete for rankings, and then allocate resources based on those rankings.

The system really knows everything.

Chen Hai couldn't help but complain.

He did indeed remember this theme of 'being tied to the fate of the nation'.

Typically, the protagonist has a cheat-like ability, easily defeating representatives from other countries and receiving the highest level of reward.

If this competitive system were placed in a 'dead' dimension, it would seem to work fine.

[As long as the scale is limited, the entire world can be kept fighting.]

Of course, there are also ways to solve the problem once and for all, such as—nuclear war.

[Large scale, powerful, and highly lethal; yields a large amount of experience points.]

[Because the 'nuclear weapons' used by modern humans are equivalent to the highest-level magic in certain high-magic planes, and at least possess a combat power level capable of easily 'blowing up a city'.]

I have to say, it's a bit of a stunner.

Chen Hai does need experience points, but he has no intention of playing the role of a world-destroying demon king.

To start a nuclear war in another world just for experience points is outrageous.

And the most important thing is——

Large-scale wars are not sustainable. After one wave of experience points is harvested, the next wave might drop to one in a thousand or one in ten thousand. I understand that. The host's focus on future gains over immediate benefits is indeed the right move.

This is what Chen Hai wanted to say.

As the saying goes, draining the pond to catch all the fish is the most foolish thing to do.

Therefore, Chen Hai wouldn't be curious about 'how much experience points will be gained after a nuclear war'.

At the same time, Winnie was staring at Chen Hai.

As a newcomer to the 'heretic group', Winnie had never really explored the world, so she was both curious and afraid of everything.

Especially those who are not 'heretics'.

For Winnie, being human is different from being attacked by monsters, leaving her stuck in the middle.

But Winnie has put all of that behind her now.

She was very curious about how the city lord would arrange things for her next.

So Winnie spoke softly.

"Lord...sir, is it alright for us to stay here?"

"Oh? Why do you ask?"

"There must be a lot of people on this floor."

Winnie had only been a member of the 'Heretics' group for a short time, but she had already witnessed the horrors of humans and monsters.

Hearing her say that, Chen Hai snapped his fingers.

The road leading here was then blocked by a wall.

On the side, a spiral staircase is generated, allowing them to return to 'Heretics' Secret'.

"That way you won't have to worry."

"As expected of the City Lord..."

As the mermaid Mary looked at the maze with its altered terrain, she once again realized the power of the dungeon lord before her.

This also led Mary to start thinking about the relationship between the 'heretic' and the dungeon lord'.

Are we all living in the city lord's house?

After all, the entire maze was under the control of the city lord.

What will they do if they are not allowed to stay anymore...?

You can't just run straight to the surface, can you?

Mary imagined the situation, and it was quite terrible.

Fortunately, she believed that her city lord was not that kind of terrible guy.

"The world outside this strange gate seems quite vast, Lord City Lord... May we go take a look?"
