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

For the guild, the biggest boss and customer is Chen Hai.

Smearing him is prohibited.

It was even written in the employee handbook.

Eina believes such a warning is unnecessary.

Looking back on her time with Chen Hai, she never had the impression that "this person is extreme and does not allow any criticism." On the contrary, she felt that Chen Hai was quite approachable.

It can only be said that some of the guild's rules are too extreme...

As an employee, Eina couldn't say anything to her boss.

If you see Chen Hai, tell him directly that your situation in the guild might become worse.

"Hey!"

A vibrant voice rang in my ears.

Misha, her friend and colleague, moved closer to her.

"What are you reading, Eina, a romance novel?"

"When have I ever seen a work of that genre?"

"Hmph, weren't you quite interested in that older woman who took leave to get married when we were in the staff break room?"

"It's just out of concern, because she used to take care of us a lot, she's a really good senior."

After Eina finished speaking, she pinched Misha's nose.

"Don't believe everything you hear. I've never been curious about 'love' or anything like that."

Yes, that's right.

Because her nose was being pinched, Misha answered in a strange tone.

Faced with her mischievous friend, Eina let go of him and handed him the report.

"What changes do you think have occurred in Orario since Mr. Chenhai's 'new rules' were implemented?"

"Are you asking me?"

"Yes."

"I think Mr. Chenhai is very handsome."

"..."

"Alright, alright, let's get down to business!"

Michael glanced at the report

"Overall the benefits outweigh the disadvantages."

That was her conclusion.

The reason is also very straightforward—

"I asked my colleagues who work with the Chamber of Commerce, and they mentioned that the number of Chambers of Commerce that have recently joined Orario has doubled, and the transaction volume has increased fivefold. And this is just the beginning! Because of Mr. Chenhai's new regulations, the efficiency of dungeon excavation has been greatly improved, and even the world has been affected, mostly for the better."

"That's true..."

"Eina, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"There's no particular reason. I'm just curious about Mr. Chenhai's ultimate goal in sponsoring the entire Orario through his dungeon and even extending his influence to the whole world."

"Living a happy and fulfilling life?"

Upon hearing Michael's words, Eina looked skeptical.

This prompted Michael to immediately provide a reason.

"Think about it, why do the gods from the heavens come to the human world? Isn't it to enjoy a different kind of life? Mr. Chenhai, who can be said to have everything, must also hope to create the 'world' he desires in this way."

"That's not entirely unreasonable..."

"To put it simply, it's about 'building a wonderful life in Oralari from scratch'!"

After Michael finished speaking, he returned the report to Eina.

She followed up with a guess.

"Perhaps, like the other gods, Mr. Chenhai is also a god somewhere, but none of those gods know his specific identity."

"A new god has descended upon Orario, where the gods once descended... and is even stronger in the human world."

Eina then started chatting.

I've heard that the gods are incredibly powerful in the heavens, and that they only face the restriction of 'not being able to use their divine power' when they come to the human world.

Chen Hai is clearly different; he can freely control the underground city and is many times more powerful than the gods of the lower realm.

"Don't you often go to Mr. Chenhai's office? You could find an opportunity to talk to him about these topics."

“Whenever Mr. Chenhai calls me over, it’s mostly related to work, and we don’t discuss anything else.”

"Really? But I think it's fine for you to bring it up. It seems like Eina is Chenhai's newest employee."

"You're often called in to clean the office, aren't you...?"

"But I rarely see Mr. Chenhai."

This is true...

Eina believed that Michael's deduction was correct.

He was indeed more favored by Chen Hai than other employees.

Because I took it more seriously.

Eina was quite happy about this sense of recognition.

"Wow, he's grinning like an idiot."

"No."

"That was just now."

"No."

Eina, who had repeatedly denied the allegations, tried to pinch Misha's cheek, but a figure in a hooded robe appeared before her.

The other person's body was hidden under their clothes, and their face was obscured by the shadow cast by the brim of their hood.

"Regarding the two 'Lord Chenhai' you just mentioned, would it be possible to meet with him now?"

"Excuse me, are you...?"

Eina straightened her posture, and Misha, who was on the side, obediently stepped aside, revealing half of her body to observe the situation.

Based on the sound she just heard, Eina deduced that the other person was a woman.

In response, she said

"Miss, regarding your request, I can only apply on your behalf. As for whether it will be approved..."

Will it take a long time?

"Actually, there are many people who want to meet Mr. Chen Hai recently, including nobles from other places, wealthy merchants, and high-level adventurers. They are all queuing up."

"How long will it take before it's my turn?"

When asked this question by a woman, Eina gave a wry smile.

“I’m sorry, Miss, I understand. So far, Mr. Chen Hai hasn’t met with anyone. He’s only looked at part of the transaction-related applications. The rest is being handled by us.”

After all, Chen Hai is the big boss, and it's impossible for him to do everything personally.

Upon hearing the answer, the woman, whose figure was hidden beneath the hooded robe, nodded.

"Thank you. Could you tell me what he's doing right now?"

"That's possible... Lord Chenhai is currently attending a 'Divine Assembly' at the top of the Tower of Babel, but ordinary people can't get in. I recommend that you fill out the form and wait for notification in a few days."

"No need to trouble yourself, I think I'm qualified to attend the banquet over there."

"kindness?"

Before Eina could understand what it meant, the other person said goodbye and turned to leave.

Looking at the man's back, Eina then looked to her side.

"Misha."

"give it to me."

After saying that, Misha ran to the back of the reception window and notified the specialist who assigned tasks to adventurers.

Adventurers' Guilds also have their own adventurers. When they're not working, they can explore dungeons or rest at home, but once they have work...

Most of their work involved tracking merchants, investigating foreign nobles, and searching for clues to crimes.

The Adventurers' Guild is now sending two people to track down the mysterious man who has just arrived at the scene, hoping to meet Chen Hai.

In order to prevent the other party from affecting the safety of Chenhai, the guild must investigate thoroughly.

That's why Eina followed the rules and regulations and got Misha to take action.

"I hope they are not the enemy."

“Eina, are you worried that the mysterious person will threaten Mr. Chenhai? I think it’s impossible. A city lord who controls the underground city would find dealing with attackers to be a piece of cake.”

"Carelessness will bring disaster, even for gods, won't it?"

That’s right…

Michael did not deny this.

She just had a different idea.

"I think Mr. Chenhai, who changed 'Orario', is invincible."

"Ah."

"Have a cold?"

After sneezing, Chen Hai heard Hestia's concerned question beside him.

She smiled and shook her head.

"It's probably because someone is thinking of me."

It might be that guy, Veldora;

It could also be the dead dragon Igni, who was bored while staying on the abyss floor.

After finishing this conversation, Chen Hai raised his glass, clinked it with one of the main gods in front of him, and then drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

As the 'Divine Gathering' entered its middle stage, Chen Hai, accompanied by Hestia, began to greet the main gods who had come to the scene.

Besides the main gods with prominent figures, clans, and storylines in the original work, there are actually quite a few other main gods and their clans that operate and live in Orario.

These people are also the source of Chen Hai's experience points.

Of course, because of Chen Hai's special identity as the 'Lord of the Underground City', he attracts a lot of attention wherever he goes.

Aside from the goddesses who had just talked about the 'underground hot springs', the male gods who led their kin also gathered around.

"Thank you, Lord Chenhai, for choosing my clan member. I believe she will take this mission seriously."

Takemikazuchi approached Tatsumi and introduced Yamato no Mikoto (Yamato no Mikoto) beside him.

She was a young girl wearing a short-hemmed kimono, paired with black knee-high stockings, and with a ponytail.

Overall, they give off a capable and efficient impression.

"Hello, Lord Chenhai."

Wa-ming bowed, then stared intently at Chen Hai.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Lord Chenhai is very young..."
