Dionysus was very excited.
He recalled the boring days in the Celestial Realm, where the immortal gods slaughtered each other senselessly all day, which was far less interesting than watching humans struggle in the mortal world.
And now, he, who planned to disrupt Orario, had encountered the greatest turning point!
The Dungeon Lord had descended upon this world!
To achieve his goal, Dionysus began to mislead the Dungeon Lord before him.
He believed this labyrinth ruler was unaware of the current situation of the gods in Orario.
Under this premise, Dionysus intended to make good use of this powerful authority holder!
Once successful, Dionysus was certain that the labyrinth city would return to its former dark age!
Back to the past where monsters rampaged the land and humans were massacred!
That was truly an interesting life!
Thinking of this, Dionysus stood before Chen Hai and extended his right hand.
"Let's have a world-changing cooperation, Chen Hai-kun."
Looking at the god's gesture wanting to shake hands, Chen Hai, who only felt disgust, did not show it.
However, he neither shook hands nor refused, but instead smiled and looked down at the street below.
"As you said, Orario has main gods and Familias who might rebel against me, so our cooperation must be kept secret."
"That's true. As for the relevant personnel, I will find a way to investigate them thoroughly."
"I'll leave it to you. Also, regarding the previously mentioned visit to the Abyss Floor, it can be arranged tomorrow morning. You can also bring your Familia."
"Oh, oh, that's wonderful!"
Dionysus seemed exceptionally excited.
At this moment, someone ran onto the balcony.
It was Hestia, dressed in an evening gown.
With a tired expression, she looked at Chen Hai, as if complaining with her gaze, 'You actually abandoned me for another god.'
"Oh dear, I won't disturb you two."
Dionysus, being tactful, left first.
Hestia brushed past him and ran in front of Chen Hai.
"Those people asked too many questions, and some even asked me what Chen Hai-kun likes to eat, what style of clothes he likes. I don't know such things."
"I usually prefer fruits, and I don't have any particular preference for clothes, but if I had to say, it would be black."
It felt like many people chose black and white.
Simple and unadorned, nothing special, and no need to worry about it.
"I see, I've noted that down. Next time, I can research fruit-flavored fried potato balls."
"Will that cooking method really taste good?"
"As long as Chen Hai-kun is satisfied, it's fine."
"Hard to say…"
Fried fruit, even in another world, there wouldn't be such a dish, right?
After they finished talking, they walked near the balcony railing. Chen Hai disliked dealing with troublesome people, so he asked the goddess beside him:
"What else did they ask?"
"Anything about exploring the Dungeon, such as fighting monsters, dangerous explorations, etc. I'm not very clear about those."
"I will make the monsters stop at just enough."
If he ordered the monsters to kill Adventurers, it would mean a reduction in staff.
Although temporary struggles would certainly generate a lot of experience points, that would only be a one-time thing.
Draining the pond to catch all the fish was not a smart approach; Chen Hai preferred sustainable development.
"Descriptions alone cannot explain it clearly. Adventurers will know when they update their cards and re-enter the Dungeon."
"If the Dungeon no longer poses a threat to Adventurers' lives, I feel Orario will grow much stronger in a short time because there will be many, many resources available."
"There's no harm, is there? Both carrots and sticks are needed. As long as Adventurers follow the rules, they will gain benefits. If they break the rules, they will also be devoured by the Dungeon."
Chen Hai set the rules and would enforce them strictly.
If he were seen as a benevolent gentleman from the Dungeon by Adventurers, it would only affect the efficiency of experience acquisition.
As the two talked, the balcony door was pushed open again.
Loki, carried onto the balcony by the crowd, raised her hands.
"Anyway, I couldn't stop them."
Chen Hai's identity was too special.
Both the gods and the Adventurers wanted to further understand Chen Hai, the Dungeon Lord.
After all, to them, Chen Hai could both create and destroy the future.
Seeing his enthusiastic 'fans,' Chen Hai, who decided to take some time to clarify things, walked over.
"I'm coming too!"
Hestia, who had been surrounded earlier, followed Chen Hai's steps.
The two of them disappeared into the crowd, chatting about everything concerning the Dungeon and the future of Orario in the hall hosted by the Freya Familia.

Under Chen Hai's command, the Gods' Assembly, which Loki and Freya were responsible for organizing, concluded successfully.
The gods, who had no choice, were initially very worried, but later all agreed to update Adventurer cards and abide by the new Dungeon rules.
Time thus came to the morning of the second day.
The Adventurers' Guild was overflowing with people.
Eina and Misha were constantly busy, along with other staff members at the counter, processing new procedures.
Only after completing the update of their Adventurer data could people re-enter the Dungeon.
Without the relevant procedures, the Freya Familia and Adventurers' Guild staff guarding the Dungeon entrances and exits would together refuse exploration outside the rules.
Seeing such a lively scene, Hestia, beside Chen Hai, said in disbelief,
"This is the first time I've seen people so eager to explore the Dungeon. In the past, everyone would first consider 'which Floor is dangerous' and 'which Floor offers higher rewards.'"
"Being proactive is a good thing; at least it proves they still have the desire to become stronger."
"I think it's more about making money."
"That's fine too, as long as they explore diligently and fight monsters."
The treasures within the Dungeon were inexhaustible, especially magic stone veins and rare materials.
Conversely, these areas were also guarded by monsters.
Even if the monsters were repelled, a second and third wave would appear.
Therefore, aside from 'not dying,' an Adventurer's income would not increase much; instead, they would 'work' even harder under the guarantee of safety.
"This isn't the first batch."
"That's right, the Adventurers' Guild opened very early, and powerful Familias must have updated their cards in advance and gained permission to enter the Dungeon."
"The situation is just as you described."
Starting around four in the morning, Chen Hai's level began to rise.
He, who was originally LV.124, had already leveled up to LV.142!
In just a few hours, he gained more than ten levels.
This beginning was perfect for Chen Hai.
He believed it wouldn't be long before breaking through LV.1000 would be no problem!
