Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

"Moreover, adventurers can get their hands on high-quality equipment during this process. If we give them a trial experience, most of them will never forget the feeling of using good weapons and will think about saving money to buy better weapons and equipment!"

This is equivalent to advertising. If adventurers have no needs, then we will force you to have needs and desires.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

Having actually fought in the arena, and perhaps having won a victory with a good and expensive weapon, adventurers will be more or less obsessed with that weapon, thinking that it is their lucky weapon.

"To sum it up, during the suspension of exploration commissions, adventurers can recover from their tired bodies and minds, improve their own strength, and spend all their money, which is in urgent need of money!

This way, when the next exploration commission opens, they will have enough enthusiasm to continue being Palu!"

After listening to the entire analysis, President Zhilan was really speechless.

This is really using the adventurer's enthusiasm, laziness, and rest as a resource.

The entire seemingly ordinary arena project is closely linked internally, and each link is calculating adventurers of different personalities.

There is always a suitable trap that can make the adventurer jump into it and "suffer".

The key is that throughout the whole process, the overall strength of the adventurers has been improved, and the speed of exploring the map will be further accelerated in the future.

And the money spent by the adventurers returned to the church and the Adventurer's Guild and was returned to the adventurers!

"This design... is a bit ahead of its time." President Zhilan admired in her heart.

Being able to do such immoral things is already a talent!

Chu Yan said sadly:

"In fact, I have another plan that I haven't included. If an adventurer wants to buy a certain expensive weapon, I can lend him money based on his strength and potential. I can lend him money at high interest rates. Let him borrow money to buy equipment, and the interest is higher than the principal... I've thought about it, so I'll forget it."

The interest is higher than the principal, so wouldn't that mean you'd be running around for loans all your life... President Zhilan couldn't help but comment:

"It seems that your conscience is still alive!"

Outside the door, the adventurers had not yet dispersed, and everyone was discussing this change.

I was a bit tired during this period, but I never missed out on money. Such a good exploration commission was gone just like that.

522

I am very reluctant to leave.

"They say it will open up again in the future, but who can say for sure? It's more of an optimistic euphemism, right?..."

"Before, I felt tired and wanted to take a break before continuing to do exploration commissions. Now that there are no commissions, I realize that I am not tired, but just lazy."

"I should have expected it to end sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be so sudden... just like premature ejaculation."

No matter how much discussion there was, the guild commission would not be opened again. The huge crowds of people lasted for half a morning, and then most people dispersed.

On this day, the adventurers seemed to have a collective holiday. They were in no mood to enter the tower and could only spend the day in taverns and restaurants.

Some people also want to go to the casino, but after such a hard-working and down-to-earth life of earning money, many adventurers are reluctant to spend money on gambling.

There is a sense of uneasiness about being unemployed.

"I heard that there is also an announcement at the chapel. Let's go take a look!"

Someone said this, which immediately attracted the attention of the adventurers.

Don't expect happiness to come in pairs, just be afraid of misfortunes that never come alone!

"The church just launched the Gospel Vouchers a while ago. They're not going to stop it too, right?" A dwarf brother who had blocked Chu Yan at the entrance to the camp a while ago felt worried.

He has a name that fully demonstrates the dwarf's strong character yet also his smooth dealings with others: Steel Egg.

Gangdan didn't have the patience to wait for others to pass on the news, so he strode forward to confirm it on his own.

When he arrived at the door of the chapel, he found a woman explaining something, which made him feel even more uneasy.

Because when Milanqi announced the termination of the exploration commission, she was standing in front of the gate and saying something.

But after listening carefully, I found that this was not the case. The church wanted to continue to launch welfare projects!

"Some time ago, an adventurer said that the exchange rate of Gospel Vouchers for equipment and other resources was too slow, so the church carried out reforms and increased the uses of Gospel Vouchers..."

The first added card drawing activity is similar to a turntable ball rolling. There are fifty grids on a turntable. If the pointer can stop on one of them, you can win the grand prize.

A complete set of equipment including weapons.

The dwarf Steel Egg thought this was a bit of a scam and not very reliable: "What if my Gospel Ticket is wasted... Hey, is there a guarantee? If I don't win the grand prize for 30 times in total, can I just give it away?"

The church's sense of propriety is indeed different from those unscrupulous casinos, and it will not create anything that is a bottomless pit.

nice guy!

Gangdan continued to listen to the woman's explanation and discovered that there was actually a new project.

"In the Colosseum, can you use Gospel Tickets to bet on horses?!"

Another activity launched by the church is the five-person free-for-all arena.

Before going into battle, the players on the field can choose a temporary equipment from the church, and will have the opportunity to continue to choose temporary blessings later, and then enter the melee. The one who can stand at the end is the winner.

Players off the field can place bets on horses, and once they are settled, the winnings are also gospel tickets.

There is no need to worry about any shady dealings, because the contestants on the field are all registered by the adventurers themselves. If you are not convinced, you can place a bet on yourself and then go on stage to compete in person.

The competition should be limited to a certain point, and you should not have the intention to kill others.

The location for the competition was set in the underground training ground of the Adventurer's Guild.

Gangdan was puzzled and muttered doubtfully:

"Didn't they say the guild was closed today? Why is it open again? The woman who was explaining at the door of the chapel just now seemed to be a staff member of the guild. Why isn't it a nun who came out to explain the church's new project?"

This doubtful thought was soon interrupted by someone else's question:

"When does this arena start?"

"We'll start today, but today the Holy Knights will be the contestants in the arena and will give everyone a demonstration. Over there is the betting area."

Gangdan walked to the betting point, thinking about giving it a try, but he didn't know these holy knights and didn't know how strong they were, so it was difficult to make a decision.

At this time, a man with shit green hair passed by and placed a bet confidently:

"Knight Richard and Knight Edward, please place a bet for me. They are worthy of competing with me. I believe the winner will only emerge from the two of them."

The dwarf Steel Egg took out two Gospel Tickets: "Place a bet with that man just now. Two knights, one for each."

The betting time ended quickly. Most people were watching and few were trying. However, that did not stop them from watching the melee between the Holy Knights at the side of the training ground.

Being able to learn one or two moves and techniques from their fights is well worth the monthly fee of group 694936135.

......

After a thrilling fight, the winner emerged: Knight Richard.

Many people did not place any bets, and did not feel strongly about winning, but were just a little curious.

"Why is it that this Knight Richard... seemed to be at a disadvantage in the first few rounds, but he suddenly rose to the lead?"

The little green-haired boy explained, "Because he has put together a complete set of Holy Knight equipment, and the greatsword in his hand was made by the royal blacksmith of the Meduso family. Anyone who uses it will know!"

At this time, there was a burst of exclamations from the betting point. Everyone looked over and saw that it was the dwarf Steel Egg who was sliding there to celebrate, and he shouted with surprise on his face:

"Ah! I got it!"

"Brother Steel Egg, what did you get hit by?"

"I

523

I bet on Knight Richard, and it won! I can now change into a complete set of excellent [Mountain Giant Plate Armor] suits! "

"Ah?!" The adventurer's jaw dropped.

This is for real!

Soon, the adventurers looked at the arena below with strange eyes.

"I am still a dark person. How could the projects launched by the church be a scam?"

"I want to go into battle myself. I want to bet on myself!"

*

At the same time, the church leaders who had just received the news were furious.

"At this critical moment, why didn't the young dragon ask for our opinion and directly suspended the exploration commission? The church has funded a huge amount of money!"

"Who will continue to explore the deep unknown areas now?!"

Chapter 4: Still not calling me mom? (k)

The church's round table hall, where the bishops gather.

Although it was a routine meeting, today's content included an additional temporary report, a projection report from the Commander of Discipline.

Deloya is the commander of the first personal guard under the Pope of Discipline, but he rarely attends such occasions. He mostly handles various affairs for the Pope of Discipline.

At the round table, two popes sat on the main seats. Commander Deloya sat next to the noble and beautiful black-robed Pope. She attended as a projection and told everyone about the events in the Babel city area.

That is to say, Chu Yan’s recent "outrageous" policies have attracted harsh criticism from several bishops.

"Commander Deroya, that dragonborn did such a ridiculous thing, why didn't you stop him? If the exploration commission is stopped for one day, the exploration progress of the deep map will fall behind, don't you know how much!"

Commander Deluya no longer displayed her usual nonchalance, but she did not show any signs of being upset by the reprimand. She spoke in a calm tone:

“Please note your identity. You are not qualified to order me to do anything. I am only responsible for the orders given by the Pope of Discipline.

But Bishop Lampigu, I have also heard from the Dragonborn about the doubts you raised, and I can convey the inside story and considerations."

Bishop Lampigu's criticism just now was also the opinion of many people in the hall.

The deep map is too large, the "gate" has not been found yet, a new area entrance is suspected to be found under the ruins square, the monster situation at the border of the exile area has worsened, and it is about to be lost and evacuated...

All these situations were like huge mountains pressing down on them, hanging over their minds, and they couldn't even see the slightest sign of a solution.

How can the church leaders, who are used to being respected and enjoying a high status, accept this kind of pressure that makes them unable to sleep or eat?

"Before you heard about the guild's exploration commission, the Dragonborn Lord had already been leading this plan for a long time. After he solved the imperial blockade, the exploration commission has lasted for several months, and the adventurers have long been exhausted..."

Commander Deloya remained calm. Even though the people around her were urging her to do so, she still looked towards the Pope of Discipline, bowed slightly, and slowly explained Chu Yan's situation in full.

"If adventurers have no faith, then their reverence for the church is nothing more than submission to force. Similarly, if adventurers have no motivation to consume, then no matter how generous the commission rewards are, to them, they are just a pile of excess metal.

Even if the guild's exploration commissions continue, soon no one will be interested, so it won't make much difference whether it is suspended or not."

The reasons were very comprehensive, even the spending tendencies of adventurers were explained. Unlike the nobles of various parties, they did not have much desire for luxury goods.

Both popes nodded slightly, approving of this explanation.

The bishops could accept it rationally, but they could not feel at ease emotionally. The adventurers' work progress came to a halt, and these high-level figures were the ones who were anxious.

"It's fine to take a break. Two or three days should be enough, right? But this reckless Dragonborn wants to stop working for a whole month?!"

"The adventurers are still too comfortable. We originally wanted to stabilize the people's hearts and suppress the news about the Dead Sea border. Now it seems that we should let them have a sense of urgency about the survival crisis."

"At this critical moment, you are still hypocritically thinking about taking a month-long break. Do you have to take a month-long break several more times in the future? You should use force to coordinate these undisciplined adventurers!"

Commander Deloya's prediction was quite accurate. She knew in advance that these bishops would say this. Fortunately, she got the answer from Chu Yan in advance.

It feels a bit ridiculous, like taking the answers to the exam.

She chuckled and asked, "Dear bishops, why do you think that force can still threaten adventurers at this critical moment?"

A bishop frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"You killed all the adventurers with force, and then what? No one went to explore the map, and in the end, wouldn't you still die, Bishop, and be completely left in this world?

Even if an adventurer goes to a new world, he still lives the same life. Does he really care which world he dies in? But do you have this open-mindedness, Bishop? "

After Deloya finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the Round Table Hall. The bishops who had shouted the loudest before were all speechless and stunned.

They had no way of refuting this.

This was also the first time that they had found themselves in an awkward period after being in high positions for many years. They couldn't even order an adventurer who lived at the bottom of society to do something - even if this adventurer had no power, no status, and was not even strong enough.
