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

Upon hearing such praise, all three smiled.

Hestia, in particular, had a proud gleam in her eyes.

"Hehehe, this goddess's desserts are no ordinary delicacies! If you like them, I'll send you more next time!"

"I am looking forward."

Before she could finish speaking, Saya Takagi and Rei Miyamoto also said they would continue to make these sweets in the future.

After that, because Saya Takagi was going to help her mother, she prepared to leave, which led Rei Miyamoto to follow her.

After saying goodbye to the two, Chen Hai was about to talk to Hestia, who was staying behind, about the 'new safe floor' when he heard a noise outside the door.

"The first step is complete!"

"first step?"

“That’s right, the next step is the second step.”

"meaning is……"

"Miyamoto-kun, you don't want to be left behind, do you? My mother and I have already gone quite far."

Outside the door, Takagi Saya seemed to be giving Miyamoto Rei, who had nothing to do lately, some advice.

Upon hearing the former's statement, Chen Hai recalled the time he spent with Gao Cheng and her daughter that night.

It seems something interesting might happen tonight...

Chapter Sixty-Six: People in "Dungeon & Puzzles," Enjoying Life and a Nighttime Trip of Four

Time passed by unnoticed, and the setting sun outside the window gradually sank in the west, gilding the room with a golden glow.

In this warm and cozy atmosphere...

A sneeze!

A sneeze suddenly rang out.

After finishing her conversation, Hestia leaned back in her chair.

The abundant fruits carried by the blue ribbon swayed as it passed.

After letting out a sigh of relief, the beautiful and elegant lady continued her conversation.

"We've been talking for so long, mainly about the new safe floors... I want to know, why exactly did Chenhai-jun open the dungeon?"

"The profits are quite substantial."

Besides experience points.

Chen Hai held up the notebook in front of him.

"Adventurers from the Adventurers' Guild go to the dungeons to explore, and the magic stones, rare materials, metal ores, and other treasures they bring out can be traded, from which I can take a cut and profit."

"That's true. With such abundant resources in the dungeon, Chen Hai-jun was bound to become the richest person in the world sooner or later. In fact, he's already achieved that, hasn't he?"

Hestia suddenly thought of something.

She took the notebook from Chen Hai's hand and muttered to herself.

"I remember when I came to the guild to look for a familia before, I heard a few merchants mention 'market value' and something like that."

Market capitalization?

Chen Hai asked with a smile

How do you remember this term?

"Because I asked them, 'How much do you think my fries stand is worth on the market?' And what did they say? They only gave me 'ten thousand fares,' which is outrageous! They make at least several thousand fares every day!"

"Ha ha……"

As Chen Hai listened to Hestia's interesting experiences, the Blue Ribbon Goddess immediately pouted.

"Stop laughing! My French fry stand has a bright future! But I haven't been able to open for a long time!"

Cough!

Hestia cleared her throat and continued.

"In short...! As the owner of the dungeon and the master behind the Adventurers' Guild, Chen Hai's combined wealth must have an extremely high 'market value,' enough to buy the entire world!"

"That would be good. I hope to expand from 'Orario'."

"Expansion? I haven't really explored any countries or cities outside of Orario yet. If you ever have to go out, Chenhai-kun, be sure to call me along!"

Looking forward to the future, Hestia put down her notebook, placed her hands on the table, leaned forward to close the distance, and said earnestly.

Chen Hai agreed and then put the notebook into the drawer.

"It's getting late, let's go back."

"That's true, you must have had a hard day at work."

"It wasn't hard work; I just sat in the office listening to reports and signing some documents."

This must be what life is really like for a boss...

This morning, Chen Hai went to the "Reincarnated as a Slime" world, named him Goblin, and brought one of the top combat forces, Veldora, to the dungeon.

Around noon, I chatted with Freya and Tsubaki about the new safe floor, and also sampled the homemade sweets made by Takagi Saya, Miyamoto Rei, and Hestia.

In the afternoon, Chen Hai mainly listened to the latest reports from the Adventurers' Guild, such as market conditions, magic stone mining efficiency, adventurer applications, and so on.

My level kept increasing during that time, and it basically never stopped.

Originally, consuming LV.200 to 'break through' a stat could allow various abilities to reach their 'root' level.

My level has now reached LV.49, which is 34 levels higher!

And it only takes less than a day.

As the coverage area increases and the occupancy rate rises, this efficiency will continue to change.

At that time, reaching level 100 in a day and breaking 1000 in ten days will not be a problem.

Even if it becomes more difficult to improve later on, as long as you occupy enough planes and they are wide enough, you don't need to worry about your improvement speed slowing down.

I don't know which plane the dungeon will connect to when I reach level 1000, 10000, or 10000.

For example--

Is it directly connected to the 'celestial realm'?

And then they conquered all the 'gods' of the multiverse?!

Chen Hai didn't dwell on things that were so far in the future; as things stood, he was fine with it for now.

Of the three existing worlds, the Apocalypse world has the lowest difficulty.

After all, the biggest threat over there is the 'dead bodies' (zombies), and the weapons that humans possess are not worth mentioning.

For high technology to be useful, the other world they are dealing with must be a 'low-magic plane'.

For example, there's a work called "GATE: Fantasy Z-Force".

It features a plot where high-tech characters brutally defeat the natives of another world.

The Knights and the Thieves had absolutely no chance of winning against Gatling guns and attack helicopters.

"Chenhai-kun, is there anything you want to eat?"

Upon hearing Hestia's question, Chen Hai turned to his side and asked in return.

"What about you?"

"As for me... I heard Ms. Miyamoto and Ms. Takashiro talk about sushi when we were making desserts together before. I wonder if it's good."

"Orario doesn't have that, right? And I don't think it tastes good."

It's also possible that the food you ate wasn't authentic.

Chen Hai walked toward the mansion while chatting with Hestia about dinner.

I ran into the staff who were responsible for cleaning the yard and rooms on the way.

Upon seeing the two, they immediately stepped aside, making way for them and greeting them.

"Good afternoon! Lord Chenhai! Lady Hestia!"

"You have worked hard."

"No, no, this is just what we should do!"

"By the way, do you know where the 'Star Banquet' is?"

"Star Feast? That newly opened, very popular restaurant? It's over by the Tower of Babel, I think it's on the third floor."

After thanking the two little girls, Chen Hai looked at Hestia.

"Go and inform the others, I'll go to 'Star Banquet' to reserve a table first."

"I vaguely remember that restaurant, but I haven't paid attention to it because it's so expensive!"

"That's perfect, we can try it tonight."

"Ok!"

After saying that, Hestia hurriedly ran ahead to inform the others.

Chen Hai and Hestia separated and teleported to the vicinity of the Tower of Babel in the central square of 'Oario'.

Night had fallen, but the usually bustling square did not fall silent as darkness descended.

Numerous lamps powered by magic stones were placed throughout the area, illuminating the stone path.

The clamor of voices, the cries of vendors, and the music drifting from a distant tavern blended together.

Chen Hai stood on the street, his gaze passing through the bustling crowd and landing on the area on the east side of the square that was shrouded in silvery light.

"Freya..."

There, the Freya Familia was busy in the night.

Their figures moved continuously under the illumination of the magic lamp.

As they closed the distance, Chen Hai took a closer look.

The members of the 'Freya Familia' were unloading heavy boxes of materials from tall cargo wagons: solid stone, specially made metal components, bundles of timber, and even a large magic stone device that shimmered with a faint blue light.

Recalling today's conversation, Chen Hai guessed that they were working overtime on the 'safe floor construction project'.

This is the plan proposed by Freya and approved by Chenhai—to establish a brand new, absolutely safe rest and supply point on the sixtieth floor of the dungeon.

For adventurers, this will be a solid support for venturing into the depths;

For Chen Hai, this will improve his experience acquisition efficiency to some extent.

If it works well, he wouldn't mind adding more safe floors in the future.

With that thought in mind, Chen Hai walked over and kept closing the distance.

A member of the clan who was guarding the pile of materials immediately looked up alertly, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.

However, when she saw the person's face clearly, the wariness in her eyes instantly turned into respect.

"Lord Tatsumi."

She bowed slightly in greeting.

Chen Hai nodded in acknowledgment, his gaze passing over her and landing on the figure not far away, as deep as the night.

Freya, the chief deity of the Freya Familia, was standing next to a magic stone device, observing the magic circle on it.

The goddess of beauty is undeniably captivating, but that's just her persona...

Chen Hai walked over, silently complaining to himself.

Good evening, Miss Freya.

He surveyed the scene.
