Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

He found out it was the latter!

Janet seemed to have prepared a backup plan a long time ago, so she didn't have to worry about the day when her combat power would not be able to keep up and she would not be able to help everywhere.

This mentality is truly powerful!

However, Chu Yan had some doubts about her business acumen.

Because black business and normal business are two different things. Black business can use force to overturn the table when necessary, but business cannot.

Paradise City had been developing for so long, and even though there were the burdens of the Dead Sea nobles, Janet had not yet managed to run her business as a traveling merchant!

"I just didn't expect that it was actually Xia Nuoya who was worried about me. I think if I were to fall behind, Xia Nuoya would be the most depressed one."

"Indeed, but I still want to explore what kind of person is behind your forbidden power. Maybe I can get some more runes."

Janet didn't quite understand this, so she agreed in advance: "Okay, then you can make an appointment, but it's better not to take too long."

"Is there anything taboo? What does it mean that it can't last too long?"

"I'm afraid that everyone in the room will stare at you and me, just like you and Shanoya last time, and I will leave a stain on my life."

"..."

Is this matter simply not going to work out?

But to be honest, Chu Yan felt it necessary to give every companion such an experience to enhance friendship, so that they would not be afraid of social death.

But you can’t do that with mommies…it’ll kill people.

The two were chatting animatedly, but the topic ended, leaving them somewhat unsatisfied.

Janet then remembered something and said, "Oh, by the way, today seems to be the day when the guild releases the rankings, the one you made. I heard about it when I was taking a walk this morning. Do you want to go take a look together?"

Chu Yan was stunned. It had only been about ten days since he rested and digested the new king's soul. Had the guild announced the results in advance?

"Okay, let's go and see the effect of this plan together!" Chu Yan stood up and stretched.

"Okay, then you wait for me to change clothes first." The black merchant sister also stretched lazily, and every private curve from head to toe was stretched out in Chu Yan's sight.

She still kept the habit of sleeping naked as she did in Paradise City, and she was indeed very relaxed...

Author's words: I will regroup tomorrow and resume the 9k word update!

Chapter 3: Night Light's Contact (k)

Adventurer's Guild.

The open space outside the guild was crowded with people and traffic.

Many adventurers were looking at the ranking list above, and the sound of discussion was endless.

In the president's office on the second floor of the guild, several people leaned against the window, watching the situation below, patiently waiting for the adventurers' reactions.

Miss Milanqi asked hesitantly:

"President Zhilan, didn't we arrange for the results to be announced every half a month? It's not even the scheduled time yet!"

Yes, today's announcement of the results was a hasty and improvised move, but it was not completely hasty.

This is the first month since the exploration commission was restarted. Because it was opened so suddenly, it could be called an attack, and many adventurers were not prepared for a long-term battle.

After receiving the commission, they simply prepared some logistical resources and entered the Tower of Babel. Their preparations could basically last for about a week, and very few could last for half a month.

Therefore, in just these few days, the guild has obtained enough data samples to publish the rankings in advance as an exception in the first month.

If the guild returns to announcing the results once every two weeks in the future, the adventurers won't say anything.

President Zhilan held the coffee cup and took a sip from the edge of the cup, leaving a light lip mark. She explained:

"Just treat it as a demonstration, and return to the normal release schedule next month. It looks like the effect is good. Although there are no monetary rewards, the adventurers seem to be paying a lot of attention to this kind of list!"

"Yes, many adventurers are waiting for this list and have stopped accepting commissions. They want to wait for the list to be released in a few days to confirm what the ranking is like. If the list is released in advance, adventurers can accept commissions with peace of mind and continue to enter the Tower of Babel."

A beautiful and mature nun sitting in the reception area expressed her agreement.

Josephine and Therese were also in the office. They came to the guild naturally to confirm the results of the improvement in exploration speed.

Because a large number of adventurers left the tower early, the guild was able to collect the data answers in advance.

Until late last night, the guild hall was brightly lit, calculating various data results.

In fact, from the expression on President Zhilan's face, Josephine could sense some satisfaction and relief with the result, but it was still better to hear the answer with her own ears.

Guessing is too torturous.

Theresa asked directly: "So, what results did the guild achieve after working all night last night?"

President Zhilan left the window, took a document from her desk and passed it to them.

While Josephine was still examining it, President Zhilan felt the fluctuation of magic power in the projected magic stone, which was the communication from Ye Guang.

Although it is better to save private communications for times when they are alone, President Zhilan knows that the other party also wants to know the progress of the adventurers' exploration.

She responded to the projection magic stone, and the situation in the guild office was instantly transmitted to the Meduso family residence in the distance.

Ye Guang discovered that there were still guests from the church, and her unexpected voice came out from the projection magic stone:

[If there are guests, we can postpone it. ]

President Zhilan placed the projection magic stone on the sofa, as if it were a guest who had come in person, and said:

"No, we are talking about what Ye Guang wants to know. I'm sure you can't wait to know the details, right?"

[Who said it wasn't? The adventurers have wasted a month, and invested so many resources. If the exploration speed doesn't change, it will be troublesome~]

Captain Haiyan's cheerful voice was heard from the projection magic stone. She wondered:

[Isn't that little dragonborn lord here for such an important occasion? And for such a large guild, can't they have a magic workshop room? Using the magic stone will limit the view too much.]

President Zhilan smiled but said nothing. It was not convenient to explain this.

The magic workshop does have its advantages, but it also means that if some idle people contact her, she will have no excuse to refuse, and she must keep the magic workshop running at all times.

If it is the Philosopher's Stone, you can always say "I forgot to charge my Philosopher's Stone recently" to end the conversation directly.

The idle people here do not refer to old friends like Ye Guang, but specifically to Zhilan’s family and friends, as well as various people related to the Adventurer’s Guild.

After all, as a neutral organization, nobles from various kingdoms might come to her in the name of the magic workshop, which would be very annoying, but it would be difficult to refuse.

Simplicity is especially necessary!

Josephine and Therese learned that the person behind the projection magic stone was actually the first heir of the Meduso family, and exchanged a few simple greetings.

Haiyan couldn't understand any documents other than the navigation log, so he asked:

[There are so many words, how do I read it? Ye Guang, can you help me summarize it? ]

[You guy, am I your secretary? ]

President Zhilan reluctantly took on the reporting work.

Compared to the exploration speed in the previous round of commissions, the adventurers' speed increased by an astonishing three times in the past ten days!

Admittedly, there is an initial enthusiasm

607

The enthusiasm and passion are always the highest at the beginning, but tripling the exploration speed cannot be achieved simply by "enthusiasm and hard work".

The foundation of this is inseparable from the resources provided to the Arena this month.

Among the many factors that hinder the growth of adventurers, resources are extremely important, and many veteran adventurers lack in this aspect.

In order to grow to the next stage, it is necessary to work hard to save money, but adventurers are used to living a lavish life. It is simply impossible for them to tighten their belts and save money for several years to exchange for resources.

What if he died at the hands of a monster along the way?

Wouldn't the money that I saved with great effort be taken away by my female companion?

All the theories that depict a bright future are simply not there when it comes to real difficulties.

If so, it means the person involved is not working hard enough.

Last month's arena directly transitioned a large number of adventurers who were stuck in the middle tier to their next stage.

These adventurers no longer have to hide when exploring. They can just run towards the monsters, thus increasing their exploration speed.

At the same time, the optimization of the entrusted areas proposed by President Zhilan will further enable capable adventurers to take on the responsibility of exploring risky areas.

Theresa took a deep breath and exclaimed:

"Although we are also the driving force behind this, we really didn't expect such amazing improvement results. Wouldn't it take only one month in the future to match the progress of the past three months?"

In the projection magic stone, Ye Guang's applause and praise rang out:

[To be honest, I even suspect that you secretly used part of the funds to hire adventurers from other places to join. Without adding more manpower, it is hard to believe that this change has only been a month! ]

Josephine nodded. "If exploring the map is considered a religious activity, then this is simply a fanatic-level progress improvement! But I suspect that once the enthusiasm of the adventurers cools down a bit, it will be difficult to maintain this speed for a long time."

Ye Guang heard about the implementation of the plan from a long distance, so she certainly couldn't know all the details. She asked Zhilan:

[Zhilan, what do you think? After the initial enthusiasm, how fast can the exploration be maintained? ]

If it just drops a little, it is still acceptable. But if there is only three days of enthusiasm and it regresses to the previous round in just a few days, it is really unacceptable!

After careful consideration, President Zhilan said:

“I think… it’s not an exaggeration to say that we can maintain the status quo and even have a lot of room for improvement!”

Her confidence comes from two aspects.

One aspect is the journey in and out of the Tower of Babel. The several days of round trip time is really something that adventurers cannot save.

Normally, in order to maximize the benefits of exploration, it is most appropriate for adventurers to stay in the tower for half a month at a time. Otherwise, in a month, the adventurers would have to make several trips back and forth, and the journey alone would take up ten days.

After the situation stabilizes, the stronger adventurers will have the confidence to stay in the tower longer and explore effectively for a longer period of time.

Another aspect is that the ranking list added by Chu Yan has not yet taken effect.

Many adventurers are unaware of the situation. Only once they actually see other adventurers’ names listed on the leaderboard will their motivation be truly unleashed.

"My guess is that once things stabilize, the exploration speed will be four times faster than the previous round."

Captain Haiyan agreed with Zhilan's analysis. It was not an exaggeration. In the first ten days after the restart, the adventurers were enthusiastic, but their strength had not yet been fully exerted.

She said: [Your hard work is indispensable, I should ask you to help my crew make some plans. ]

President Zhilan didn't dare to take all the credit. She smiled and shook her head and said, "These are all the ideas of the young lord. We are just helping to implement the plan."

Ye Guang got the desired result, smiled easily, and asked jokingly:

[Back when we were in Paradise City, I could see that this little guy was the most troublesome. He was born to do bad things. He was the one who should be exploited the most. We have to squeeze out all the evil ideas in his stomach~]

Josephine nodded: "We will take this seriously if we squeeze him!"

After listening to them talking for so long, Haiyan actually wanted to meet the young dragonborn, so he asked curiously:

[Where is the little dragon lord? Is he not here? We have contacted Weilin several times, but we have never talked to him. ]

"The young lord is not an easy person to see. If you are not careful, you may not see me for ten days or half a month."

Zhilan said this, picked up the projection magic stone and returned to the window to show Yeguang and Haiyan the huge crowd of adventurers below.

The Adventurer's Guild has occupied a very prime location with a spacious and flat area in front of the door, but at this moment it is completely blocked.

"Adventurers are all watching the ranking list, and more and more people are watching."

Ye Guang listened to Zhilan's introduction and sighed. At the same time, he spotted two figures with his sharp eyes:

[The little dragonborn lord and his forbidden lover named Janet, are they next to the list notice board? ]

Zhilan looked around and soon found Chu Yan's figure. She smiled and said:

"Really? Then the little lord should come up soon."
