Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Ai Kun decided to go out for a walk, and when he arrived at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild, he found it was crowded. After asking around, he found out that the exploration commissions were open again.

As usual, he planned to pick up some commissions in simple areas. Riding on a big fat chicken, his exploration speed was quite fast, and he didn't have to worry about being targeted by monsters.

He is often followed by a train, with a large group of low-level monsters. The monsters cannot catch up with him, but they can easily divert their firepower to other adventurers.

Many new adventurers treated him as a plague god. Ai Kun ran too fast, and there was no way an old man would take care of the newcomers.

In his words, we are all adventurers, and taking care of you is a favor, but not a responsibility.

Why should I be humble?

However, Ai Kun also noticed some new changes in the rules. The rewards in low-risk areas were reduced, which was acceptable. He could rely on the speed of Big Fat Chicken and his efficiency to make up for this loss, which was generally faster than going to risky areas.

However, now there is an additional rule regarding stamping and marking!

In a certain large area, if someone has the highest contribution, a customized mark of that person will be stamped on the map released by the guild.

Moreover, the function of this mark is only limited to risky areas, not stable areas. Even if a person single-handedly undertakes the exploration of an entire stable area, he cannot get the stamp.

"I will customize a fat chicken stamp. In the future, won't anyone who wants to check the map see my stamp?"

586

Ai Kun waited in line for a long time and finally arrived at the reception desk to receive commissions:

"Give me a commission to explore a risky area with relatively few people. Urgent!"

Some new adventurers nearby, upon seeing Ai Kun appear, thought it was bad luck and wanted to see which place he chose so that they could line up again to accept commissions and avoid this guy.

I didn’t expect that he wouldn’t compete with the newcomer!

"Strange, it really is true that money makes the world go round..."

Chapter 74: Which witch's card should I turn over? (-)

When President Zhilan woke up, it was already morning and the sun was at its highest.

She hurriedly tidied herself up, told the servants to prepare breakfast, and rushed downstairs to confirm the effects of the exploration commission after it was restarted.

If it is the first time that an activity is launched, you can still observe for a week to see the follow-up effects and whether it has enough stamina.

However, this exploratory commission has already been launched for the second round, and the results on that day will basically determine the overall situation in the future.

If adventurers have no motivation to participate immediately after hearing that exploration commissions have been restarted, can we still expect to maintain a full and high level of enthusiasm for exploration in the future?

Very difficult.

You must know that the purpose of launching the Arena plan is to maintain the adventurers' passion for exploration. This is the primary and most critical goal!

When President Zhilan walked around the corner of the stairwell, she immediately saw a crowd of adventurers gathered in the hall, even crowding outside the door.

She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the effect was quite good!

"Milanqi, come here for a moment, how was things this morning?"

Milanqi reported: "The effect is very good. Almost all the members of the large adventure group have rejoined the group. The same is true for adventurers at other levels. We are a little short of manpower."

The current exploration commissions have been changed to dynamically adjust the rewards, so it is necessary to send someone to issue the commissions in person, and we can no longer be as unrestrained as last time.

It is the first day now, and there are many adventurers who have received commissions, so we may be a little short of manpower. However, after a period of time, adventurers will be thrown into the Tower of Babel, and it will take ten days or so to come out once they go in, so it will not be so crowded then.

The enthusiasm was still high, even sweeping away the depressed mood before the opening of the arena, which really made President Zhilan feel at ease.

A while ago, it can be said that the adventurers were able to hold on to their depressed, tired, and bored moods and continue to take on commissions, in large part because the Rat Gang incident scared everyone.

Adventurers all feel that exploration commissions are difficult to sustain for long, and there will be ups and downs in the future. They should grit their teeth and continue to make money now, because they will not have the chance to grit their teeth in the future.

President Zhilan's lips curled up into a satisfied smile. Although she didn't have time to put on lipstick, the sheerness of her lips was still charming.

Her sweet buttocks leaned against the stair railing and said with peace of mind:

"Then it seems that the Arena's role as a midfielder is very obvious. It maintains the participation rate. As expected, it still needs to act as a 'casino dealer' and empty the adventurers' wallets, so that their enthusiasm can continue.

Now we have to see if the exploration speed has been greatly improved!"

The one month of rest cannot be wasted. As the masterminds behind the arena plan, they are under tremendous pressure.

If the exploration speed in the new stage does not increase, or the increase is not large enough to make up for the progress lost this month, it would be equivalent to wasting a month's time in vain.

"How long will it take to determine the progress of the exploration speed?" asked President Zhilan.

Right now, a large number of adventurers haven’t even received their commissions, and this cannot be seen in the past few days.

Milanqi looked at the large group of people and thought, "If we want to see results as soon as possible, we have to temporarily hire more people and let the adventurers get the commissions as soon as possible. In this way, it is estimated that it will take half a month to see stable results."

Hiring temporary staff is not a problem. Even if President Zhilan pays for it himself, it won’t cost much.

She asked about another detail:

"How do the adventurers react to the adjustment of the reward amount?"

This is not only to confirm the satisfaction of the adventurers, but also to confirm the adjustment effect of the rule changes.

If the situation of old players occupying the newcomer area still occurs as before, it can only be said that President Zhilan's adjustments are not in place and he has not been able to effectively solve the problem.

When Milanqi talked about this issue, her expression became more excited and admiring. She couldn't wait to say:

"The effect is very good! Last night, there were still a few adventurers who wanted to compete with the newcomers for the spot, but Lord Chu Yan came over and made some adjustments. Until now, there have been no adventurers who want to compete with the newcomers for the spot!"

"The effect is so good?" President Zhilan was amazed.

According to her expectations, being able to reduce the "snatching" situation by half was already satisfactory, and her adjustment strategy was considered a success.

But after hearing what Milanqi said, Chu Yan came over in the middle of the night to give some advice, and the effect was even better.

“What did he adjust?”

"It's a recognition record similar to a ranking list." Milanqi explained in detail.

In addition to stamping the new maps released by the guild, Chu Yan later gave another suggestion, which was to put up a sign at the entrance of the guild and update the list every half a month or so to record the adventurer who explored the most in the area in the past half month.

"What kind of reward will the adventurer who ranks first on the exploration list get?

587

? ”

"...Uh, Lord Chu Yan said there is no reward, just a simple ranking list."

“Is the effect so good without rewards?”

President Zhilan really found it a bit unbelievable that she customized a map with a stamp and made a ranking list, and then attracted all the old birds who liked to compete with newcomers for space to the risky areas?

He is a "weird individual" who cannot even be persuaded to increase his salary.

At this time, Chu Yan came over, and with him several companions.

Two military officer sisters and several non-commissioned officers from the Thunder Kingdom. Princess Melissa said she would send people, and she really did.

However, given the current situation in the Babel city area, if the army were to move in at any time, there would not be enough space for activities, and the impact would be negative, which would easily lead to an atmosphere of an arms race.

Therefore, Princess Melissa temporarily sent twenty elite non-commissioned officers, and a team of three hundred soldiers will be needed later.

This number of people is enough. Chu Yan needs people to do the work. More people will be a burden.

Omega and Bertha were also called up, on the one hand they wanted to take a walk, on the other hand they wanted to give some instructions on the formation of the team in front of the guild gate.

The more people there are, the more order and organization are needed, which is something that improves efficiency.

Chu Yan met with President Zhilan and explained the situation. He immediately asked several non-commissioned officers to serve as temporary employees and become the guild's front desk clerks and ladies.

Omega and Bertha, accompanied by Milanqi, began to organize the adventurers.

"Those going to risky areas should line up on the left, and those going to safe areas should line up on the right.

The people from the two areas will line up into columns of 20 people. The leader of the team will take the 10 commissions on behalf of the people in your column. Adventurers who need to adjust their commissions will come out individually to negotiate and deal with it!"

Omega arranged the instructions in just a few words. She had enough momentum and courage to be an officer in the Empire and a "dormitory manager" in Paradise City. Her aura was enough to shock the adventurers. With Milanqi by her side, the adventurers were basically willing to accept her orders.

Most of the adventurers who come here to accept commissions don’t have so many pretentious things. They all want to accept the commissions as soon as possible and enter the Tower of Babel as soon as possible. They don’t care which specific area it is. Anyway, the rewards are the same in the current risky areas.

After a large number of processes were streamlined through division of labor, the speed of issuing commissions has increased, much faster than the original efficiency.

During this period, President Zhilan asked Chu Yan for help, wanting to know where the exploration rankings and contribution map stamps came from.

Chu Yan explained: "No matter what, this can also provide a little satisfaction in terms of fame. The appeal of both fame and fortune is still very great. The reward for the commission is the 'profit', and the stamp on the map is the 'fame'."

President Zhilan exclaimed: "This is surprisingly easy to satisfy. We don't even need to increase the budget!"

Chu Yan watched the adventurers enter the Tower of Babel one after another. He did not stay for long, but continued to weaken his presence and hide his achievements and fame.

During the short time he showed up, quite a few adventurers were watching him discuss, and they had obviously heard about the rumors about the Ruins Square a few days ago.

*

On the outskirts of the Babel city, on top of a hill.

There was a team of scouts watching here. With binoculars in their hands, they carefully observed the city to confirm whether there were any sentinels or the like.

Next to them, a noble woman with long silver hair asked helplessly:

"So, where is the 'panic' you mentioned reflected?"

"Reporting to His Highness Yana, the situation was really urgent last night. We were well disguised and the sentry discovered our presence directly!"

One person reports, while the other continues to wait and see.

Princess Ye Na didn't care about this situation. She was more curious and unbelievable. How could such an adventurer city-state with scattered forces still have sentinels to guard?

Suddenly, the scout holding the telescope said sternly:

"Found it! Reporting to His Highness Ye Nai, the adventurers in the city are now under military management. They are gathering at the entrance of the Adventurer's Guild and giving a speech!"

Princess Ye Na took the spare telescope, looked around, and found that it was true.

Although the adventurers' standing postures were not very straight, the fact that they could form a neat formation and integrate together was already quite incredible.

Adjusting the perspective, Princess Ye Na also saw Chu Yan talking with the guild president in the city.

She couldn't help but feel amused and muttered in her heart:

"Has he caused a lot of trouble in this city recently? Even adventurers can be used as soldiers?"

Princess Ye Na stopped observing, put down the telescope, and straightened her loose robe, which was the one she had "confiscated" from Chu Yan last time.

"You wait here for the main force, I will go into the city to take a look."

*

Chu Yan returned to his old nest and lay on the sofa in the living room, thinking deeply.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the "machine" has started running again, and the specific production results can only be known in half a month.

During this period of time, Chu Yan naturally cannot be idle. It is time to go to the nightmare space again.

When all the future mothers arrive, it may not be convenient for him to enter the nightmare space, so he has to hurry up.

He wants to progress so much!

"It seems necessary to find the Witch of Sorrow and see if there is any room for improvement in [Demon Dragon Transformation]. This ability is indeed powerful, and I can also ask her for advice.

588

Things related to "virtue" are preparations for finding "virtue" later.

Finding the Dragon Witch doesn't seem to be a bad idea. The experience in Nogma alone is enough for me to accumulate experience. Maybe I can continue to improve my dragon blood?"

By the time the mommies arrived, Chu Yan's [Harmony] had almost cooled down. Raising a mommy's dragon blood to the level of the first generation was something worth considering!

Author's words: As book friends reminded me, I missed two chapters yesterday. I have added the extra chapter to make up for this one.

Today I will update two chapters with 6k words. The number of words updated recently was quite large, so I need to sort out the follow-up.

We will try to publish tomorrow’s first update during the day (before the demon hour)!

Chapter 3 Princess Yena's Visit (k)

Although it has been a while since the experience in Nogma City, Chu Yan still feels a little scared.

I’m afraid that I’ll suddenly fall into some massive witch dream again and won’t be able to recover yet!

It looks like the Sorrowful Witch's case is over, but who knows?
