Gensokyo Population Revitalization Plan

Uranus was very surprised. He didn't expect that Mu Huai could recognize the altar used to suppress monsters in the dungeon at a glance. He was wrong to mistake him for an ordinary visitor from another world.

"I know of an Emperor who sat on a golden toilet, suppressing demons in the Warp. Your situation is better than his. At least you're still alive and able to create clones to operate in the divine realm. That Emperor, on the other hand, is hanging on for dear life, unable to do anything but use the Emperor's Swearing Machine to utter the sacred curse words he'd been holding back for ten thousand years."

"Hearing you put it that way, I do think I'm in a pretty good position."

Uranus felt a tinge of sympathy for the Emperor, then changed the subject and spoke in his aged voice, "Visitor from another world, if you can do three things for me, then I will allow you to take the goddess Hestia away."

"How do I know you're not just making empty promises?"

"Because I'm the creator god of Orario, the chief god of the Adventurer's Guild, and the strongest among the gods."

Uranus's calm tone contained unquestionable confidence. "If you still have doubts about this matter, we can sign a contract."

"No need. Being able to sit on this throne like the Emperor is enough to prove that you are not a treacherous and evil god. I believe you. State the terms."

"Those three things are..."

After handing the task to Mu Huai, Uranus sent him away again. Wrapped in black clothes and wearing black gloves engraved with patterns, a ghost-like figure appeared in the room.

"Why give the task to him? Haven't you already decided on the candidate?"

"Fels, the one we chose hasn't yet grown into a hero, but this visitor from another world... he's accomplished great things in the past, saving the world. He's a true hero."

"I only see the radiance of his soul hidden in the endless darkness."

"Haha~"

Uranus chuckled. "That's not a bad thing. Even if he fails, we still have another plan, right?"

……

After many twists and turns, Mu Huai finally arrived at the maze city of Orario. He looked at the huge white tower in the city center that was surrounded by walls and reached into the sky. He knew that under this Tower of Babel was an underground maze where monsters would constantly appear, and it would also be the mine of Pelican Town in the future.

Having just arrived, he was not in a hurry to register with the Adventurer's Guild, because the basic requirement for becoming an adventurer was to join the [Family] formed by the gods and obtain the [Blessings] given by the gods.

In Mu Huai's view, this kind of favor is to give humans a game cheat, allowing them to gain experience points through various activities and improve themselves. It is a very simple and crude but very effective approach.

The clan that Mu Huai wanted to join was naturally the clan of the goddess Hestia, but he had seen this loli goddess in the realm of gods before. Obviously, she had not yet descended to the mortal world and had no intention of establishing a clan.

Mu Huai was not in a hurry as he could not become an adventurer for the time being. He looked at the exchange rate of gold coins into the world's currency, which was 1:1000. After confirming that he had enough funds, he strolled around Orario.

After some inquiries, he found out that he was currently in a busy street with the most shops and clothing stores. So he entered a clothing store and bought a few sets of clothes from another world for his girlfriends. Then he left and planned to go to the famous "Hostes of Abundance" restaurant to eat something.

Hiding in the shadows, Xiaonin suddenly reminded him: "My Lord, you have been targeted."

【It’s okay, let them come. 】

Mu Huai knew that because he did not dress like an adventurer and was lavish in his spending, he had attracted the attention of some adventurers with ulterior motives. They were quietly following him in cloaks, as if they were planning to rob him once he entered a sparsely populated alley.

Just as these people thought, he chose the latter between taking the longer route on the crowded main road and the faster but less crowded alley.

The two adventurers with ill intentions looked at each other, smiled sinisterly, and blocked his way from the front and the back.

"Small……"

As soon as one of them opened his mouth, Mu Huai's figure turned into a flash of lightning and elbowed the two unsuspecting people unconscious. Then he stripped them of their equipment and continued to move towards the Fengyu Hostess Restaurant while whistling happily.

"The people in Orario are so welcoming. They'd treat me to a meal even if they sold out all their gear."

Chapter 2: The adventurer who came to your door.

Mu Huai didn't know much about the anime "Dicuo", mainly because when he wanted to catch up on the show, he heard that the animation production was very bad starting from the second season, so he gave up the idea of ​​​​catching up on the show and continued to play the game of Yuzu Society.

But he also knew the basic information that the hostess of Fengyu was famous for the high quality of her dishes and the lovely staff, and that the staff were all extraordinary.

As soon as Mu Huai walked into the store, he was greeted by a cute cat-eared clerk in a green uniform: "Welcome to the Mistress of Abundance, are you alone?"

"Well, this is my first time in Orario. Can you recommend some of your signature dishes?"

"Understood, I'll show you the way!"

The adventurer who was eating meat was full of jealousy: "Damn it, why didn't Chloe greet me when I came in!"

His companion, holding his wine glass, teased: "It's because you are not as handsome as that guest."

"I'm handsome, so what? I'm also an adventurer!"

"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly. We still have to go to the dungeon this afternoon."

After leading Mu Huai to a single seat, the cat-eared waitress named Chloe smiled at him and said, "Sir, we have many signature dishes here. You may not be able to finish them all. How about choosing a few?"

"Okay, I prefer meat. Could you please recommend three for me?"

"I see. How about a combo of flaming steak, creamy cheese stew, and fried chicken?"

"That's all, thank you."

"Please wait a moment, the food will be served soon!"

The food here is served very quickly. It only took about 5 minutes for the three signature dishes ordered by Mu Huai to be served, and each one was very generous in portion.

Chloe kindly reminded: "If you can't finish the food, you can take it away, but there will be an extra fee for taking it away."

"Don't worry, I can finish this little bit of food."

"Hehe, take your time, and call me if you need anything~"

Mu Huai ate the delicious food in front of him slowly and leisurely. Xiao Ren couldn't help but stretch out her little hand from his shadow, took away half of the fried chicken nuggets and savored it happily in the shadow space.

This shop's craftsmanship is really good, but it's a pity they don't have donuts.

"If you want to eat it, I'll go shopping again and see if I can buy all the ingredients."

[Hmm, hmm, you are indeed my beloved master. Do you need me to sleep with you tonight?]

【want! 】

[You really don't hide your burning desire at all. Even though I'm in the shadows, I feel like you're holding my vitals with your Black Flame Dragon Spear. I'm so… scared…]

Mu Huai was about to continue flirting with Xiao Ren, but out of the corner of his eye he saw the adventurer he had stripped of his equipment angrily push the door open and slowly put away the smile on his face. "Looks like we'll have to pack up this meal, and your donuts will have to wait."

"This is really frustrating. I really want to kill them, but that would only cause more trouble. How about a duel with them? It would solve the problem and also make you famous."

[This is a good choice, worthy of being my external brain! ]

[Hehe~ Remember to make me some more donuts. ]

After silently praising Xiaonin in his heart, Mu Huai stood up and waved to Chloe: "Please help me pack up the remaining food. I'll go take care of the small fish."

"Hey?"

Without waiting for her response, Mu Huai immediately walked towards the adventurer who saw him.

"Brother, this is the guy. He attacked us, stole our equipment, and now he's here eating and drinking!"

"He must have sold our equipment on the black market. Brother Hans, you spent a lot of money to buy it for us!"

The burly man in the lead waved his hand, and the adventurers following him immediately surrounded Mu Huai. Hans exuded a murderous aura that could stop a child from crying, and pressed down on Mu Huai, who looked like an ordinary person.

In his expectation, this weak pretty boy would be so scared that he would wet his pants, and then he would be captured by them and all his money would be taken away.

According to the description of the two younger brothers, this pretty boy bought several pieces of clothes worth 10 Faris in a busy street without blinking an eye. Such a fat sheep cannot be snatched away by others, otherwise his magic wine this month will be ruined.

Unexpectedly, Mu Huai was not frightened at all. Instead, he showed a disgusted expression: "You guys stink too much. Can you please get out of here and stop polluting the air?"

The adventurers who were watching the show burst into laughter. Of course they recognized Hans and his little brother. This group of Soma clan members spent all day thinking about how to cheat and defraud others to make money. They were not like a normal clan at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were a den of scammers.

With such a bad reputation, they were naturally happy to see Hans being laughed at, and they also planned to stand up for Mu Huai afterwards.

"You kid is courting death!"

Hans was furious. He was a Lv.1 adventurer, and this pretty boy who was not even an adventurer dared to insult him. If there was no fertile hostess here, he would have slapped Mu Huai to death.

At this moment, the younger brother who had been stripped naked by Mu Huai suddenly leaned over to whisper something in his ear. Hans immediately changed his anger to a smile: "I almost got tricked by you. You were trying to deliberately provoke me so that the clerk here would come to your rescue, right? Unfortunately, that won't work. If you obediently hand over the 100,000 faris and several pieces of equipment worth 200,000 that you stole from those two, then I will forgive you."

"You look so poor, but you have a hundred thousand faris in your pocket. Did I hear that correctly?"

"Hmph, whatever you say, you either have to pay up or... come with us to the duel arena."

Hans was shameless and unreasonable. No matter what the other party chose, the money on him would eventually become the fund for him to buy the magic wine.

Mu Huai was just worrying about having no reason to go to the duel arena, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him on their own initiative. His eyes lit up immediately and he couldn't wait to walk out the door: "The duel arena is great, let's go and come back quickly!"

His actions stunned many adventurers. According to the common sense of Orario, even adventurers who had just joined the clan and received favors could easily defeat ordinary soldiers.

As an ordinary person, Mu Huai couldn't wait to duel with the Lv.1 experienced adventurer of the Soma clan, which made them feel incredible.

This news quickly spread throughout half of Orario, and many adventurers who had nothing to do or were still on rest flocked to the duel arena, wanting to see how this farce would end.

Will that ordinary person be beaten to a state worse than death, or will he defeat the Lv.1 adventurer and become a favorite in the eyes of all the major clans?

The vast majority of adventurers believe it is the former. After all, there is an insurmountable gap between ordinary people and adventurers.

Chapter 3 Recruitment from major clans.

The ancient Roman-style circular dueling arena in Orario was particularly lively today. Upon hearing that ordinary people were dueling with adventurers, many adventurers put down their work and ran to the dueling arena to watch.

Some small vendors even had a sudden inspiration. They packed up their stalls, brought fruits and drinks, and went into the crowded duel arena to sell their goods.

The reason why they were so interested in this matter was that many potential newcomers who had not yet become adventurers made their names in the duel arena and were then recruited by the clans that arrived first.

Over time, word spread that the dueling arena could recruit potential newcomers, so whenever something like this happened, they would come and watch. Even if they couldn't snatch the prize from those higher-ranked clansmen, they still had something to brag about in the tavern.

The sand of the duel arena was a strange dark red, irrigated with blood for a long time. Mu Huai stood at the end opposite Hans. He could smell the thick rusty smell of blood in the air, as well as the cheap smell of alcohol and sweat wafting from the audience.

[The environment here is really terrible. I really shouldn't have suggested you come to such a place.]

[It will be over soon anyway, just bear with it for now.]

Mu Huai looked up and looked around. The stands were packed with people. Many adventurers were crowded in one place like sardines, waving their arms and throwing bags of fari into the dealer's cloth bag.

"Maybe I should let you come out of the shadows first, and then go there to place the bets. Maybe I can earn you some money for milk powder."

[Do I still look like I'm old enough to drink milk? ]

[Sorry, I bit my tongue. It was a donut.]

[You did it on purpose, Mr. Mu Huaihuai.]

Hans, carrying his greatsword, pretended to perform an awkward knight's salute, which he had learned from nowhere. "Mr. Mu Huai, if you are willing to return the 30 faris and four pieces of equipment worth 10 that you stole from my little brother, then I will forgive you and cancel this duel."

"Wasn't it 20 just now in the store? How come the price went up after I walked a few steps?"

"Since you are so determined, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Hans licked his cracked lips, grasped the hilt of the sword with his other hand, and leaned forward slightly as if ready to charge.

Before the two entered the duel arena, they signed a life and death contract. As long as one of them died, all the assets of the other party would belong to the opponent, so he had no intention of showing mercy, nor did he intend to let Mu Huai walk out of the duel arena alive.

The duel was about to begin, and the adventurers' excited shouts made the stone circular duel arena tremble slightly.

"Big Talker Hans, let's see how much you've improved!"

"Handsome boy, don't lose to him!!"

Since Xiaonin kept complaining in her heart that the smell in the duel arena was terrible, Mu Huai gave up the idea of ​​teasing Hans and decided to end the battle quickly and leave here to let her breathe fresh air.

He took out the Faiz belt that he hadn't used for a long time from the storage space and pressed the transformation code with extremely fast hand speed.

“Stanging By!”

"Transform!"

"Complete!"

When the strange black Kamen Rider appeared in front of everyone, the shouting paused strangely for a second, and then broke out with a sound wave louder than before.

"What kind of tool is that?"

"Is it magical equipment? But how can an ordinary person without magic powers use it?"

"Why bother with so much? Let's fight!"

Mu Huai shook his hands and stepped hard on the ground with his right foot. In an instant, his body seemed to be stretched into a straight line. He came in front of Hans, who was in shock, like lightning, and then swung his right fist and hit him hard on the bridge of the nose.

"Boom!"

As a muffled sound like a drum rang out in the dueling arena, Hans flew backwards like an arrow, smashing a huge dent in the wall of the dueling arena, and then his body fell to the ground like mud.

"The winner is Mr. Mu Huai!!"
