Because Hestia was free, Chen Hai invited her to take Saeko Busujima, Rei Miyamoto, and others to tour Orario.
Chen Hai, after receiving Eina's report, decided to make a trip to the Dungeon.
On his way, as he passed through the Adventurers' Guild hall, he saw quite a few teams who had been beaten up on the twentieth floor… there were men and women, about seventeen or eighteen of them, complaining to the staff about the 'inaccuracy of Adventurer cards.'
According to the rules set by Chen Hai, after Adventurers' data was updated, they would be assigned to the corresponding floors.
Except for the deep floors, Adventurers assigned to the upper, middle, and lower floors could explore fixed areas at fixed times.
However, because the Dungeon itself would update, there was no need to worry about their assigned areas not yielding any profit.
But it was precisely this arrangement that made the Adventurers on the twentieth floor worried.
"I don't want to go back there and get beaten again."
"Is there something wrong with the monsters there? Did the Floor Boss put on a disguise?"
Someone asked the staff, naturally receiving no answer.
Among them was also the one-eyed Adventurer who had lost several teeth.
With a resentful expression, he pulled out a bag of magic stones from his pocket, shook it, and the stones rattled with a clattering sound.
"I thought it was the start of getting rich, but it turned out to be the end."
Before he finished speaking, the one-eyed Adventurer saw Chen Hai.
"Lord Chen Hai! What do you say about this situation?!"
"Don't worry, I will handle it quickly."
"I hope so; your Dungeon is the source of my life's expenses, so please take good care of me!"
The one-eyed Adventurer grinned, his smile, missing a few teeth, was quite comical… Upon reaching the entrance, Chen Hai asked Eina to send someone to look after the Adventurers who had been beaten up by the powerful monster on the twentieth floor.
"Please rest assured on this, Mr. Chen Hai, I will arrange it immediately."
In this regard, Eina's work efficiency was quite high.
Chen Hai resumed his steps, and suddenly saw Demeter, whom he had met before, appear before him.
The Goddess was holding a bag, and through a gap, green things could be seen.
"Miss Demeter, are you…?"
"We meet again, Mr. Chen Hai. I just heard about a special incident that happened in the Dungeon while I was shopping, so I came to bring herbs to the Adventurers; these were grown by our Demeter Familia over half a month, and their effects have been tested and are quite good."
"Are the herbs from the 41st floor still needed?"
"Mr. Chen Hai, the herbs from the 41st floor are many times more effective than these."
Demeter finished speaking, and after leaving a remark, 'Let me show you the effect of this first,' she went to help an Adventurer treat his wounds.
After Demeter finished using the herbs, the Adventurer suddenly sprang up.
"Ugh! The herbs on the wound don't hurt anymore! I feel like I can still fight! Get me my weapon! And call the Floor Boss!!!"
The Adventurer's eyes glowed.
Demeter handed the herbs to a nearby staff member and returned to Chen Hai's side.
"What do you think?"
"…"
"Is something wrong?"
"Are you sure that's not a strange leaf?"
"It is indeed a leaf, is there something wrong with it?"
The 'leaves' the two were talking about were not the same thing.
However, Chen Hai was very satisfied with this.
"If we used herbs from the 41st floor, even if those Adventurers were severely injured, they would probably be able to recover in a short time, right?"
"That should be the case, but due to the strong medicinal effects, it's impossible to use them every day."
"That's enough. I'll get them for you then."
"Thank you for your trouble."
Demeter thanked him softly, then ran off to help again.
Well... although the herb's effect seemed strange, making people very high, if it could improve efficiency, Chen Hai wouldn't mind having the Demeter Familia mass-produce it.
Chen Hai withdrew his gaze and quickly arrived at the Dungeon.
On the way, the system reminded him—
["is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? World (Occupation Level: 32%), you can teleport anywhere in Orario."]
"It seems so..."
Sometimes he really didn't pay attention to these details.
Of course, there was also the reason that he was used to running to the Dungeon before teleporting.
"Currently, it's over thirty percent. If I conquer the other two Secret Realms, it should reach ninety percent, right?"
["The Host can try it."]
The system highly recommended it.
Chen Hai now recalled the settings.
The is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon? World has three major Secret Realms.
The first: the labyrinth Chen Hai owned.
The second: the Dragon Valley on the northern border of the continent.
The third: the Great Tree Sea with a vast forest in the southern region of the continent.
"The other two Secret Realms feel very easy. My Death Dragon at home should be able to solo them casually, right?"
["The Host can try it."]
The system repeated what it had said before.
Chen Hai did not refuse this suggestion.
However, he was currently more focused on the incident caused by the Heretics.
He arrived at the first floor, completed the teleportation, and reached the twentieth floor of the Dungeon.
After sending the Adventurers who had come to investigate the situation back, he teleported again, directly arriving at the entrance and exit of the Heretic Secret Chamber.
The cave entrance in front of him was very hidden, covered by vines.
However, these things were quickly devoured by the living Dungeon walls in front of Chen Hai.
He walked straight in.
Inside the passage, multiple eyes simultaneously stared at Chen Hai.
There were a total of five 'people' in his sight.
They were Lizardman Reed, Stone Dragon Gros, Mermaid Mari, Harpy Fei'er, and Siren Rei.
He did not see the black Minotaur Asterius from the original plot.
As for those not in sight... "Is that little girl shy?"
As soon as he spoke, the grass not far away rustled.
A figure emerged from there.
Her name was Vini — a Dragon-type monster Heretics, basically human-sized, but with blue skin, hard, sharp claws, and a few dragon scales.
According to the plot, these Heretics should not have been able to gather here so easily.
But now, the plot's direction had completely changed, and the Heretics's fates were also different.
"Dungeon Lord..."
Lizardman Reed was the first to step forward and greet him.
"It seems you know me."
"Of course... It's just that we didn't think you would accept our existence, neither monster nor human, excluded by your rules..."
Reed chose his words carefully, appearing very cautious.
He didn't expect the Heretics to think that way.
It seemed he should have come to them immediately.
So... Chen Hai looked at these non-human, non-monster Heretics who felt abandoned.
"Now I'm going to give you a job."
A job to help Chen Hai gain experience.
