Chapter 4 - Chapter 4 Hello, Eina, I Am the Dungeon Lord

[Fourth Update]

Chen Hai also read novels with a 'multiverse anime' theme.

His favorite plot was conquering his favorite dimensional heroines.

However, although Chen Hai, who had personally experienced a 'transmigration event', had similar thoughts, he currently had other things to consider.

Transmigration—getting stronger—acquiring women; many stories follow this process.

Is there anything wrong with that?

Of course not.

It's just that Chen Hai is currently more focused on 'how to survive better'.

The System had previously said that his level was related to the 'strength of the Dungeon's connected planes'.

So, if he just didn't level up and spent every day eating, drinking, and having fun in Orario's Dungeon, he wouldn't have to worry about strong enemies appearing?

[The Dungeon's connected planes are also affected by time, Host, please be aware.]

The System quickly gave a reminder.

This meant that if he just kept slacking off, what if one day it connected to a plane like 'Little Garden', wouldn't he be invaded by the big shots from there?

From this perspective, level is the key.

Because consuming levels can achieve all purposes.

Especially for the enhancement of terms.

For example.

Suppose Chen Hai possesses the term 'Assault'.

Even if it's only the lowest rarity white, it can be imbued with incredible power through enhancement.

Making the 'Assault' term, which could originally only destroy streets, increase in power and become capable of destroying a city with one blow.

"Exactly."

The System agreed with Chen Hai's analysis.

If that's the case, what would happen if his 'Omnipotent Genius' term was directly raised to level one hundred, or even one thousand?

"Its power will increase accordingly, and skills learned by the Host will gain advanced effects."

The System also displayed an image in Chen Hai's mind.

The 'Flame Breath' Chen Hai learned from the Death Dragon could, at higher levels, cover the surface of the earth, or even burn planes.

However, to achieve that effect, the level requirement would probably be very, very high.

It was clear that Chen Hai's Dungeon desperately needed laborers.

Ding—!

The level increased again.

It now directly became LV117.

"The Adventurers in the Dungeon are really working hard."

He saluted every Adventurer who was working for him.

"Chen Hai? What were you just saying?"

The girl's voice and the warmth of her hand pulled Chen Hai back to reality.

He looked to his side, Hestia's profile illuminated by the warm-toned lights from the surrounding shops.

On the Blue Ribbon Goddess's fair cheeks, there was an expression that suggested, 'Did he hit his head in the Dungeon?'

"Don't mind it, I was just talking to myself."

"Oh, I was worried you got hurt in the Dungeon and became disoriented."

"By the way, why did Miss Hestia suddenly talk to me? There are many other new Adventurers, aren't there? I'm sure there are also free agents who haven't joined a Familia."

"That's true, but when I saw Chen Hai, I felt there was an intriguing aura about you."

It shouldn't be the smell of not having showered... Chen Hai lifted his sleeve and sniffed.

He smelled nothing.

"Coming to Orario alone must be very difficult."

"Being alone does indeed lead to many problems."

Do other Adventurers who transmigrated to another world feel uneasy, even if they have powerful cheat abilities?

Chen Hai, feeling a bit sentimental, shook his head.

Living alone in the past, he had never considered such things.

What he needed to do now was to live out his transmigration life well.

"Is Miss Hestia's daily job just selling fried potato balls?"

"That's right, and also looking for Adventurers willing to join a Familia, but there hasn't been much success."

"The initial stage is indeed difficult, especially when a Familia has no members at all. This also means no logistics, no connections, no accumulated wealth, making it impossible to provide much help."

Chen Hai, who also enjoyed playing games in the past, clearly understood the disadvantages of the 'Hestia Familia'.

Therefore, if Chen Hai were to choose, he probably wouldn't join the Hestia Familia either.

After all, the starting point was too low.

The best Familia should be the 'Loki Familia', right?

There were powerful Adventurers and excellent logistical support there.

However, for the current Chen Hai, the 'Loki Familia' was the best 'working group' he had his eyes on.

After all, the stronger they were and the fiercer they fought, the more experience points Chen Hai would gain.

"So you mean Chen Hai isn't willing to join either?"

"Yes."

"Sigh..."

The Blue Ribbon Goddess sighed, but did not let go of Chen Hai's hand.

"This area is a bit complicated, don't get separated from me."

"Miss Hestia is very gentle with people."

"Not with everyone, though. I just like helping people who are like me, because I can tell that Chen Hai doesn't understand Orario, and being alone will definitely lead to trouble."

After the kind Goddess finished speaking, she adjusted her mindset and smiled.

Chen Hai added at this moment,

"My refusal of Miss Hestia's invitation isn't actually because I look down on the 'Hestia Familia' with no members. The main reason is that I don't plan to join any Familia."

"Not joining any Familia? It will be very difficult to survive in Orario that way."

"It's not absolute, though. As long as one can make good use of the Dungeon, it'll be fine."

"Usually, only high-level Adventurers can earn money. As for us Gods... we don't dare to enter at all."

That's why Hestia sold fried potato balls every day to earn money.

"If Miss Hestia is interested in the Dungeon, I can take you to play next time, as compensation for your help this time."

"No, no, please don't joke around. Chen Hai might not know, but once a God enters the Dungeon, it will cause a very terrifying reaction!"

Chen Hai remembered this setting clearly.

Once a God appeared in the Dungeon labyrinth, the 'god's assassin' would appear to seek revenge on the God.

However, that was only a 'past setting'.

The current owner was Chen Hai, and everything was up to him to decide.

"We're almost there."

Hestia slowed her pace and raised her finger, pointing at the brightly lit building not far away.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

The Adventurers' Guild was lively at this time, but there weren't many people at the counter.

So Chen Hai let Hestia rest, then walked straight over.

Inside the window stood a bespectacled service staff member.

Chen Hai recognized her at a glance.

It was Eina.

Eina Tulle, the half-elf counter lady.

"Excuse me."

"Hello, sir, how may I help you?"

"This might be a bit sudden..."

Chen Hai then said straightforwardly,

"Hello, Miss Eina, I am the Dungeon Lord of Orario's Dungeon."

"Huh...? Eh?"

"I've come this time to talk to the Adventurers through the Adventurers' Guild about working for me."

"No, that..."

Eina stared at Chen Hai with a subtle expression, feeling that he was talking nonsense.

Disbelief was a normal reaction.

In Orario, no one would expect the 'Dungeon Lord' to appear at the Adventurers' Guild.

"Do I need to prove anything?"

"That... Sir, the 'Dungeon Lord' you mentioned, are you referring to Orario's Dungeon?"

"Exactly. I can prove it right now."

For example—

Chen Hai looked at the street outside the Adventurers' Guild.

"In ten seconds, the Dungeon will be completely sealed, and no one will be able to enter or exit."

"..."

Hearing Chen Hai's declaration, Eina fell into deeper confusion and a hint of unease.
