Their commission was suspicious.

If you really want adventurers to be completely unharmed, then just kick all the adventurers out and let the amusement park dolls do the adventures, and they can handle the logistics, right?

But that's obviously impossible.

If Chen Luo really wanted to do this, the first people to oppose him would be the adventurers, because the dungeon contained countless treasures.

Even if Chen Luo becomes the lord of the dungeon, at most he will only reduce the ferocity of some monsters, preventing them from relentlessly pursuing fleeing adventurers.

All Chen Luo could do was increase the adventurers' survival rate as much as possible; he couldn't ensure that adventurers wouldn't get injured at all after arriving.

At least that's the case with dungeons.

However, Chen Luo is now considering whether to create something like an escape crystal, so that if adventurers encounter monsters in the dungeon, they can use the escape crystal to return to the safe zone.

That's feasible.

If you were to teleport directly back to the dungeon entrance, teleporting to deeper areas would be extremely difficult, because the area expands as you go down, and even the straight-line distance is enormous.

However, dungeons do have safe floors.

Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.

Moreover, after Chen Luo gained the authority of the dungeon lord, Uralos, the chief god who had been suppressing the dungeon with divine power, could retire.

Even without the suppression of Uranus's divine power, the dungeon will still follow the rule that the monsters become stronger the deeper you go.

As Chen Luo moved, the blood flowing from the bronze cauldron that had collected the blood of the gods outlined a huge magic circle, and at the center of that magic circle, Chen Luo placed several dark gods.

"Chen Luo, what are you planning to do?" The dark gods showed no fear of the impending persecution Chen Luo was about to inflict upon them.

At worst, it's just death.

"Do you even need to ask? Of course, we're going to bleed you out and use you as sacrifices for the dungeon," Chen Luo said as he made several holes in the other man's body with the sword that was meant to stab whoever was sent to the first place.

"Honestly, once we've bled all out, we'll have to go back to the Heavenly Ring. If we come down again then, we'll have to wait in line for a long time." The Dark God said with a look of disgust.

Gods don't return to the heavens forever. When a god uses divine power to repair a fatal wound, they are summoned back to the heavens, and they have to wait in line to return to the mortal realm.

At least Hestia had to wait in line for a very long time before she arrived in the lower realm.

Chen Luo ignored the main gods of these dark factions and instead activated the blood sacrifice array.

Once the magic circle was activated, the god, whose body was riddled with holes and bleeding profusely, could feel the rate at which his blood was draining from his body accelerating.

When their divine blood was almost completely drained and they were truly on the verge of death, a radiant light flashed across the bodies of these main gods of the dark factions. They directly used their divine power to heal their injuries.

The group had originally intended to make some tough remarks, but when they saw Chen Luo pull out the God-Slaying Whip, they quickly backed down and returned to the Heavenly Realm.

Throughout the entire process, the dungeon remained completely unresponsive to the bizarre event of divine power and deities appearing within its 27th layer.

After the gods were sent away, the dungeon didn't care.

When the magic circle drawn on the ground erupted with a shocking blood-red light, Chen Luo could feel the dungeon emitting a joyful fluctuation!

[Ding! Mission complete]

In any case, I have now received two identity missions in this world. I have already earned back the money from one of them and successfully preserved my initial investment. As for the remaining missions, no matter how much I earn, it will all be pure profit.

After the dungeon identity quest was completed, the belated identity item was delivered to Chen Luo's backpack.

It contains a large amount of magic stone materials and precious items, etc.

"Let's go, Liuli," Chen Luo said to Liuli in a cheerful mood.

"Okay, River God expert. But is that all?"

"That's good. For the next period of time, the ferocity of the dungeon monsters will be reduced considerably. At least they won't relentlessly hunt down fleeing adventurers. But don't think that the monsters can just obediently wait to die," Chen Luo said.

"It seems you haven't dealt with those members of the Dark Faction who were burned by the flames yet."

“I threw them into the Soul Lamp while you were dueling with Zagnat. However, there are still some remnants of the Dark Familia and a few main gods…” Chen Luo said, stroking his chin.

"Should we wipe them all out?"

"No need, Ruri. Monsters can't be killed all the time, and neither can bad guys. Rather than letting those adventurers infiltrate guilds and clans, it's better to let them join dark factions. That way, it's easier to identify targets. This is called entrapment."

The remaining dark factions can be left to the puppets as experience packs.

The dark faction is like a brick; it can be moved wherever it's needed, and we'll certainly have plenty of fun with them in the future...

Yeah, they're the ones who make the fun of it.

When Chen Luo brought Liu back to Orario and set off again for the bountiful hostess's tavern, he saw a scene completely different from the usual Orario.

The air was filled with the sounds of gongs and drums, the crackling of firecrackers, the fluttering of red flags, and the crowds...

In short, it was very lively.

All of this was due to the welcoming ceremony for the extraterrestrial heroes held by the chief gods and their respective clans after the divine assembly.

It's clear that these goofy gods are quite interested in the arrival of the extraterrestrial warriors, while the members of the clan, though maintaining a neutral and objective attitude towards the warriors, can't resist the interest of their own lord.

"You're back so soon?" Mia's mother asked in surprise, looking at Liu and Chen Luo, who had only been gone for an hour.

You've already taken your revenge?

"That's about it," Ryu said.

"Ryu, you look great. It seems this deity is quite capable." Mia's mother could see the relief Ryu was showing, unlike anything she had seen before.

In the past, even when working, Liu always seemed to be carrying a burden, but now it's different. It's as if her inner knot has been untied, and she looks much more relaxed.

"This is indeed all thanks to Lord River God."

"Just call me Chen Luo, Liuli."

"Then please pronounce my name correctly, thank you. Ryu or Rion."

"Understood, Ruri."

"..."

"Your relationship is progressing rather quickly, isn't it?" Mia's mother said, glancing at Chen Luo and then at Liu.

"Lord River God has been of great help to me, and I will always remember that. Except for the fact that he kept calling me by the wrong name." This time, Liu's gratitude to Chen Luo was genuine.

Liu could tell that Chen Luo could have achieved his wish in the simplest and most direct way, but instead he created so many twists and turns. His intention was naturally to comfort her.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be simpler and easier to just kill Jāluó directly?

Although some doubts lingered in Ryu's mind, such as how Chen Luo summoned Zaronat so smoothly, Ryu absolutely did not think that the appearance of the Zaronat five years ago was related to Chen Luo.

Liu didn't know why Chen Luo was helping her so earnestly, and could only attribute it to the fact that her main god had a very good relationship with Chen Luo... probably.

"I'm back at the tavern this time to ask for leave," Ryu said to Mia's mother.

"Ask for leave?"

“Yes, two days. Because His Majesty the River God said he'd be willing to give the Astrea Familia a base to attract the celestial warriors summoned by the gods tomorrow. I need to go and make preparations,” Ryu explained.

Chen Luo also said that Astraea would be back tomorrow.

Although Ryu has some inexplicable feelings for Astrea, she is overjoyed to see her family's main god again.

Only after experiencing death did Ryu realize what her deepest, most urgent desire truly was.

Even now, Liu has not given up on the justice she seeks.

"Go ahead. I give permission." Seeing Ryu looking completely transformed, Mia's mother couldn't bear to stop her.

"Thank you for your help," Liu said, bowing.

"If you really want to express your gratitude, remember to give the Abundant Mistress's Tavern a shout-out," Mia's mother waved her hand.

"Well... I'll try my best."

"Let's go, Liuli, I'll take you to your stall. By the way, Liuli, are you interested in changing your sect?" Chen Luo asked.

"Conversion? No interest. Besides, it requires the consent of the supreme deity."

"It's alright, I'll discuss your coming to my kin with Astrea tomorrow."

"..."

Liu suddenly realized why Chen Luo had gone to such lengths to help her; it turned out he was lusting after her body.

"Ruri, I'm in such a terrible state. My River God's Familia is completely empty! Please, please join my Familia!"

"...If the goddess Astraea really agrees, I can consider converting. But you must pronounce my name correctly first. Ryu or Leon, either is fine." Ryu has never heard Chen Luo pronounce her name correctly, not even once.

Oh, no, there was one time when I was about to die.

"Oh, never mind then." Chen Luo instantly looked disappointed.

"???"

Chapter 1608 Cocolia's Little Lover? Chen Luo's Reputation Damaged!

"Please, please help me again! Train crew, I'm your fan!" Chen Luo hugged Xing and March 7's legs.

Danheng? Don't worry about Danheng.

If Xinghe and March 7th agree, Danheng must also agree.

After all, if Dan Heng hadn't been keeping an eye on things, Xing and March 7th would probably have caused a huge mess!

If Liu were to come to this other world with Chen Luo, she would definitely be able to tell that the process Chen Luo went through when he begged for March 7th and the stars was almost exactly the same as when he clung to her leg and begged her.

However, Ryu is setting up her stall in the Orario player plaza.

This is what Chen Luo said: "You can set up the stall as you like; Astraea will definitely come tomorrow."

Not coming? Then tie her up and bring her here.

However, other Familias had some helpers, and even the Hestia Familia had Hestia and Bell helping with the setup. So, in order to prevent Ryu from appearing too out of place, Chen Luo summoned several heroes from another world to help with the setup in advance.

This way, at least when others discover that Ryu is displaying the Astrea Familia sign and are met with disdain, they can help Ryu glare back.

The Astrea Familia has a good reputation, but because they are too good and too meddlesome, they are hated by some adventurers.

Because Liu was busy, Chen Luo didn't take her on a world tour.

"..." Xing and Sanyueqi, whose legs were being held by Chen Luo, exchanged a glance.

"This isn't right. Didn't we say at the beginning that we could go to the upper area after I helped you complete these 10 tasks?"

“Yes, we’ve already arrived at the upper level, haven’t we?” Chen Luo said.

"But the original plan was for you to open the passage to that special energy center and send us to the upper zone, and also bring the people from the Earth Fire. But now you're asking us to come to the upper zone to do a commission. What are you thinking?" March 7 looked unhappy.

"I beg you."

"...Sigh, fine then." March 7th sighed.

“Actually, I didn’t just ask you to complete the mission. If you want to fight Cocolia, of course you need to do a good job of gathering intelligence. Otherwise, are you planning to just kill Cocolia indiscriminately?” Chen Luo said.

"But Cocolia doesn't sound like a good person."

“March 7th, how can you say that? Although Cocolia is indeed not a good person, you should also observe Belloberg more closely,” Chen Luo said.

"So these 10 new commissions you gave us are to help us understand Bellenberg better?" March 7 said, looking at the list of 10 new commissions in her hand.

“That’s right. You can learn more about the customs and culture of Belloborg while completing the missions. After all, don’t you pioneers stop for a few days every time you arrive on a planet? You can think of it as saving the world in advance and experiencing life. The difference between the upper and lower zones is quite significant.” Chen Luo nodded.

"Really? There's no other reason?" March 7th couldn't help but ask.

“Of course we have them. The stickers for the three of you don’t finish for another day and a half. Wouldn’t it be a waste to just leave them like this?” Chen Luo said.

"..."

"Don't look at me like that. I have also prepared compensation for you. In addition to the original compensation from these clients, which will be given to you intact, I will also prepare additional compensation for you."

"I won't go into details about solving the star core problem; I'll definitely help you... Take this." Chen Luo handed a card to March 7th.

"what is this?"

"The Great Guardian's bank card... or something like that. In short, all your expenses in Belloberg for the next day and a half will be covered by the Great Guardian. I'll also provide you with a large amount of credits and a full five sets of the latest VR gaming equipment from StarCraft!"

"That sounds pretty tempting, but where did you get the Great Guardian's bank card?" March 7 asked in surprise.

Isn't the current Great Guardian Cocolia?

Aren't we enemies with Cocolia?

"You don't need to worry about that. The thing is, this stuff came from a legitimate source, so use it freely. I guarantee you won't run into any trouble," Chen Luo said.

“But we should be wanted by the authorities, right? Bronya mentioned it to us.” March 7th had softened her stance, but a problem still arose.
