Their commission was suspicious.

"...Thank you," Raiden Shin whispered, his heart inexplicably pounding.

"..." At this moment, the divine child standing to the side really wanted to say something.

I was the one who arrived first.

Chapter 1960 Raiden Shin and Yae no Miko: Selling Themselves to Save Inazuma

"Shin, although you said you wanted me to help Inazuma recover, do you have any ideas of your own?" After receiving the tricolor dumplings from a shopkeeper and distributing them to everyone, Chen Luo stuffed a string of tricolor dumplings into Raiden Shin's hand.

Although Raiden is currently in a spirit state, Chen Luo happens to be a Herald of Knowledge, so he can temporarily switch between the real and the virtual aspects of his soul.

"Yes, of course." Raiden Shin nodded after taking the tricolor dumpling.

"Oh? What's your thought? Tell me."

When helping others fulfill their wishes, it's natural to respect their opinions.

Of course, this refers to a method to fulfill the wish without encountering bugs.

Chen Luo no longer wanted to use the little girl's lollipop as an example.

For a country, it is natural to be more cautious in dealing with this.

"Um... well... what do you think about letting the people from Paradise take over the Three Commissioners?" Raiden Shin made a suggestion.

"You wish." Chen Luo flicked Lei Dianzhen's forehead with his index finger.

"Ouch..." Raiden Shin rubbed his forehead while eating tricolor dumplings.

"I'm serious," Raiden Shin said somewhat indistinctly, with a tricolor dumpling in his mouth.

"I'm serious."

"Come on, this is the Three Commissioners, and Inazuma's most important department covers three major sectors across all industries. If you control it, you control Inazuma's lifeline. At that time, no one except the Shogun can shake your power." Raiden Shin said, tugging at Chen Luo's sleeve.

"No way." Chen Luo refused without hesitation.

"What are those two talking about?" Silver Wolf asked Yae no Miko while eating Inazuma's special delicacies.

"Oh, to put it simply, they really wanted Chen Luo's Paradise Adventurers to take over Inazuma, but Chen Luo didn't want to accept Inazuma, which led to the dispute."

The entire Inazuma was managed by the Three Commissioners, and handing over the Three Commissioners' power to Rakuen was essentially handing over the entire Inazuma to Rakuen.

"...If it were me, I probably wouldn't want it either." At first, Silver Wolf felt a little strange, wondering why not take advantage of the situation, but after thinking for only a second, he made the same choice as Chen Luo.

"Why don't you want it?" Raiden Shin bit hard into the tricolor dumpling in his hand.

"Why would I want one? Inazuma isn't anything special. If it weren't for the fact that the adventurers in Paradise have nowhere to go without me, I wouldn't even want to manage Paradise, let alone give me another Inazuma," Chen Luo said disdainfully.

Don't misunderstand, Chen Luo doesn't look down on Inazuma...

But how to say it?

Given the development potential of the Paradise in the Dimensional Sea and the Starry Sky Railway world, let alone a country on a continent, even if Chen Luo wanted to become the absolute ruler of a planet, changing the ruler of a planet every day, it might take until next year's New Year.

I'm playing StarCraft in the universe, and you're trying to make me give up my pursuit of cosmic domination and go back to my hometown to be a village chief?

Isn't the difference a bit too much?

Putting aside everything else, the hundreds of millions of adventurers in the Doll Park alone outnumber the population of Inazuma. Moreover, the adventurers usually obey management and dutifully accompany the park to progress.

Even so, Chen Luo still complained about being mentally exhausted.

Inazuma is different; Inazuma's situation is so complicated it's enough to make your hair fall out!

Outdated production technology, backward science and technology, disobedience, and a large number of unruly people...

After listening to Lei Dian's words, Chen Luo suddenly felt that the amusement park was actually quite nice.

"Just give it a try, it won't cost you anything." Raiden gently nudged Chen Luo.

“As the former Thor, you’re betraying your country,” Chen Luo said.

"Selling out the country is still better than watching the people suffer at the hands of those... well, I can't use profanity, but anyway, it's better than watching the people suffer." Raiden was really annoyed.

Raiden's upbringing wouldn't allow her to swear, but not swearing wouldn't express her current feelings, so she simply kept quiet.

Moreover, this doesn't count as treason, because Paradise would never buy this country. And if Thor wanted the adventurers of Paradise to leave, they would completely withdraw within ten seconds, happily going off to conquer the stars and the sea, not staying a second longer!

As Raiden walked along, seeing the oppressive atmosphere in Inazuma, he grew angrier and angrier.

If Inazuma Castle, the main city, is like this, then the countryside and remote areas are even more shocking.

The damage already done is irreversible; now, all we can really think about is how to minimize the potential losses in the future.

Raiden has witnessed firsthand the progress of the adventurers in the amusement park.

Corruption? Abuse of power?

These things have absolutely nothing to do with the adventurers in the amusement park, because they don't care about the benefits they would gain from doing such things.

Compared to the truly vast universe, Inazuma, and even the entirety of Teyvat, appears extremely small.

Given the opportunity and the possibility of conquering the stars and the sea, who would want to stay in the village and engage in infighting?

The kings of ancient kingdoms sound incredibly sophisticated, but even ancient kings would be amazed by the air conditioners that are now a common household item.

Although elemental power is readily available in Teyvat.

"Really, it's not that I don't want to help you..."

So you'll help?

“Uh, no, I mean, have you thought about a practical issue?” Chen Luo asked.

"The attitude of the Three Admirals, the attitude of the nation, or my sister's attitude? None of that matters," Raiden Shin said.

Lei Movie's attitude can be ruled out first, because Lei Movie would not refuse Lei Dianzhen's decision.

The government's attitude is not worth paying too much attention to, because ordinary people are often short-sighted, and they will understand once they spend more time with the adventurers of the Paradise. Giving state power to the adventurers of the Paradise will not benefit the adventurers, but rather the ordinary people.

Because they do not abuse their power, do not live a perfunctory life, and do not accept bribes.

The only problem is the three mandates, especially the mandate for the community and the mandate for the establishment of the capital.

We don't need to worry about the Heavenly Commander. The Heavenly Commander's family has committed a policy that harms the country and others by colluding with the Winter Envoy to promote the Eye Hunt Order. To put it bluntly, it is a crime of treason. In ancient China, the execution of the entire family would not be an exaggeration!

It could even lead to the extermination of nine generations of one's family.

No, I meant the salary issue.

"Huh? Salary?" Raiden was taken aback.

"That's right. You let the Paradise Adventurers take over the Three Commissioners, so you have to pay them, right? After they came to this world, they were busy with official duties and naturally didn't have time to fight monsters and level up. Someone has to make up for this loss, right? Or do you really think the Paradise Adventurers are genuinely interested in showing off their power to ordinary people in Inazuma?"

“They won’t be interested,” Raiden Shin shook his head.

While Paradise Adventurers may not be entirely devoid of lowbrow interests, they certainly wouldn't be interested in this, which is why Raiden truly trusts them.

However, Raiden Shin seemed to have realized something as well.

"Because they are doing work they don't like and they don't get any benefits, they naturally need a salary, right? Let's say a Paradise Adventurer originally earns ten Paradise Gold Coins a day, let's give you a cheaper estimate, one a day, but to manage the entire Inazuma, you need at least 1... I feel it might be 10, but let's use the minimum. That means you need to provide Paradise Adventurers with 1 Paradise Gold Coins a day."

"1 Paradise Coins a day, that's 30 a month. So, dear Raiden Shin, how do you plan to pay?"

"Ah... Aba aba?" Raiden tilted his head.

Let alone 30 Paradise Coins, even after grinding for so long in Raiden, my savings haven't even exceeded 1.

This is still the price for a friendship that can't get any better.

Otherwise, 300 million amusement park coins a month wouldn't be enough, and 3600 million amusement park coins a year would be needed.

Even selling Inazuma wouldn't be worth this price.

At a price of 10 credits per Paradise Coin, just 3,000 million Paradise Coins would amount to 300 billion credits...

Aba aba...

Frankly speaking, 3,000 billion credits would be enough for Interstellar Peace Corporation to completely renovate the entire Inazuma Corporation.

And there's still a surplus.

“My Lord, there’s no need to be anxious. I have a plan.” Yae no Miko suddenly leaned over.

"Hmm? What plan?"

“If the adventurers from Paradise come to Inazuma to work, they will definitely be paid, but if they come to volunteer, they won’t be paid,” the goddess said.

“But as Chen Luo said, the adventurers in the Paradise should not be interested in Inazuma.” Raiden sighed.

If we can explore interstellar space, who will come to Inazuma?

"Never mind that. I have a fantastic slogan, but it requires a small sacrifice from you. I wonder if you, Masashi, can accept it." The princess's expression turned serious.

"It's just a sacrifice. It's not like I haven't sacrificed before. Go ahead and do it." Raiden Shin waved his hand dismissively.

"Chen Luo, grant me Level 1 editing privileges on the group network," the Divine Child said.

"...I gave it to him." Chen Luo looked at Yae no Miko with suspicion.

Chen Luo suspected that Yae no Kamiko was about to pull some kind of crazy move.

But seeing that the user-friendly plugin didn't give any warnings, Chen Luo didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he was more curious about what kind of method and reason Yae no Kamiko would use to recruit volunteers for the amusement park.

After gaining access, Yae no Miko pulled out her phone and started tapping away frantically.

A while later...

"Volunteer recruitment number... let's say 100 million. Click send!" Shenzi lightly clicked the confirm button.

Then everyone's phone vibrated; it was a notification from a group network-level message.

Top-level information is information that is crucial to the survival of a group network, while first-level information is slightly less important, but still very important.

"A million people? Can we even fill all the positions?" Raiden Shin muttered to himself as he took out his phone after finishing the last of his three-colored dumplings.

"Alright, we've filled all the positions. One million adventurers from the Paradise will volunteer for free, no pay." But before Raiden Shin could even turn on his phone, Shinko's voice made him almost drop his grip on the device.

One million? They've already filled all the spots? Did they even have 10 seconds? Are those amusement park adventurers glued to their phones all day?

Raiden opened the Paradise APP with some skepticism and saw the pinned message.

After clicking in, I found that they had indeed recruited 100 million adventurers for the amusement park, and they were all volunteers.

The divine child did not lie.

Just ...

Raiden looked at the recruitment information, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

[Recruiting Volunteers for the Inazuma Transformation Project!]

[Number of participants required: 100 million]

[Park Coin Rewards: None.]

[Special Reward/Favorability Reward: For each additional volunteer, Chen Luo's favorability with Raiden Shin increases by 0.01, Raiden Movie increases by 0.001, and Yae no Miko increases by 0.0001.]

[Limited spots available, recruitment will close once all spots are filled]

[Announcement issued by Yae no Kamiko]

From a purely rational perspective, this recruitment notice was indeed posted without costing a single penny.

but……

"God! Child! What are you doing?! What the hell is this reward?!" Raiden grabbed Yae no Kamiko by the collar.

"If you don't have money, just sell yourself. What's so strange about that?" Yae no Miko glanced away.

"I even sold myself." At this point, Yae no Miko felt that she didn't need to feel so guilty.

"That's true, but why is your favorability the most expensive?" Chen Luo looked at the announcement with some confusion.

"Because Raiden Shin-sama is smart but can't fight. Raiden Dō-sama can fight but isn't smart, while I'm both smart and can fight, so of course I'm the most expensive." Yae Shin-ko said confidently.

"Cancel this volunteer recruitment notice right now!" Raiden was furious.

"It's too late. In just half a minute, the page views have already exceeded 1 million. And I only have one level-one announcement editing privilege. I can only post, not delete, because deleting requires another level-one privilege. You can go find Chen Luo; right now, the only one with that privilege is Chen Luo." Yae no Miko looked completely unrepentant, which made Raiden increasingly angry.

"..." Raiden Shin, who was holding Yae no Miko's collar, turned his head to look at Chen Luo, who was looking at the announcement on his phone.

"Hmm?" Chen Luo tilted his head.

"What are you doing, tilting your head like that! Delete this announcement right now! Inazuma doesn't need that many volunteers!"
