The first place that they went was…naturally that hidden room.
Once they were in there, all of them suddenly let out a sigh of relief before relaxing.
This period of time had been hard not just on Mu Bao Bao, but all of them since with Mu Bao Bao taking the throne, the entire Mu Empire had changed.
In addition to having to deal with the problems of Dungeon City, Yue Lan had also had to deal with the various Royal Style Store branches across the nation.
Since a new ruler was taking over, the situation had changed in each of the cities.
There were some cities that opposed the new empress, so they changed their policies.
There were some cities that were neutral towards the new empress, so they changed their policies.
And then there were cities that supported the new empress, so they changed their policies.
In short, there were changes that happened in every city regardless of their stance and Yue Lan had to deal with that. She had to change the policies of each of the Royal Style Stores found in each of the cities, so she had been very busy lately.
Not just lately, even now…she was still busy since it wasn’t all dealt with yet.
The only reason that she was even taking a break was because it was Mu Bao Bao.
As for the rest of the girls, they were also busy because the Mercenary Guild was also changing.
The Mercenary Guild might be a large organization that spread all over the continent, but there were also many branches that were based in this empire.
With a new empress taking over, naturally they also had to change their stance.
So Tian Tian had also been very busy as a branch president.
So there wasn’t a single person here who had been idle because of this.
Once they relaxed a bit, Yue Lan turned to Lin Fan and asked, “What is the situation right now?”𝔬𝗏𝑳xt.𝐂𝐎𝓂
Lin Fan shook his head and turned to look at Mu Bao Bao.
During his stay in the capital, he had been kept away from Mu Bao Bao.
With the way that he had been watched, it was almost as if he was a prisoner.
But at the same time, he couldn’t help lamenting his weak cultivation. Even if he wanted to do something, he wasn’t able to do anything since the people watching him were all in the Qi Condensation Realm.
At the same time, there were Soul Formation Realm Cultivators that were watching over the capital, so it wasn’t as if he would be able to sneak anywhere.
So he had no choice but to stay in his room and do nothing but cultivate during this time.
Because of that, he didn’t have a single piece of useful information.
Mu Bao Bao revealed a bitter smile before saying, “I’m not allowed to do much even if I am the empress. All I do is approve the plans that my advisors have already prepared and meet with some of the officials. When I try to do anything, Elder Jian and Elder Gui will interfere to stop me from doing anything.”
After hearing this, all of them couldn’t help knitting their brows.
Lin Fan couldn’t help asking, “Are they trying to turn you into a puppet ruler?”
Both Yue Lan and Ming Xin looked at Mu Bao Bao like they thought the same.
But Mu Bao Bao just simply shook her head and said, “No, if they wanted to do that, they would have completely kept me away. It’s as if they are trying to protect me right now and slowly expose me to the things that I have to do…”
Her voice trailed off at the end, but it was clear what she was thinking based on the look on her face.
Both Yue Lan and Ming Xin had looks of concern on their faces, but they didn’t say a thing.
In the end, Lin Fan said, “Don’t push yourself. If you need help, then just ask for it, alright?”
Mu Bao Bao gave a nod before saying, “Don’t worry, I will.”
Then she turned to look at Yue Lan and Ming Xin before saying, “Do either of you want to come work for me?”
Both of them revealed bitter smiles before shaking their heads.
Mu Bao Bao gave a bitter laugh before saying, “I figured as much.”
Then they started chatting to catch up on events that had happened during this time.
They were close because of Yue Lan’s efforts and that sisterhood between them wasn’t lost because they had been away during this time.
While they were chatting, Lin Fan moved out of the room and went into a separate room all on his own.
This room wasn’t completely blocked off like that room, but that was good enough for him.
After all, what he was about to do wasn’t something that others could see in the first place.
He opened up the system panel and went to the mission tab.
He went right to the Main Mission tab and looked at it.
What he was looking for wasn’t the sect task, but rather the dungeon task.
That was because…there had been a notification that appeared while he had been in the capital informing him that one of the main missions had been complete.
Naturally it was this dungeon task that he was currently looking at.
Rokuko had become a C Ranked Dungeon Core a long time ago, so the only conditions that were left was to raise the dungeon’s territory, wealth, and power.
This was something that could only be done slowly over time and during this period, it had been achieved.
The final part had been achieved while Lin Fan had been in the capital which was the wealth of the dungeon.
Once the wealth had reached the required mark, the notification that this mission had been completed had been given.
After revealing the true identity of Rokuko to everyone, they had been working hard with her to improve the dungeon.
With Yue Lan’s efforts, the dungeon had already become much bigger and more powerful than before. The DP that they earned each day was thousands of times more than what they had earned in the past.
With this, they wouldn’t even need to worry about the other Dungeon Cores if there was ever another dungeon conference. They would be more than a match for them now with how much Rokuko had developed.
Since this main mission had been complete, Lin Fan was very curious what the reward would be.
After all, this was an unknown reward from the powerful system for a main mission.
He was certain that this wouldn’t be anything too shabby.
With his hopes raised, Lin Fan pressed the button to receive the reward from the system.
“The host has completed the mission ‘Building the dungeon (Part 1)’. The following reward has been released: Time Compression Room.”
“Time Compression Room?” Lin Fan couldn’t help repeating to himself with a confused look on his face as he tried to figure out just what this was.
But he didn’t have time to think too much as another popup appeared.
“Since the host has completed the mission ‘Building the dungeon (Part 1)’, the following quest has been released.
[Main Mission] Building the dungeon (Part 2)
Now that the host has finished developing his dungeon, how can he not let others know? The host needs to spread the fame of his dungeon far and wide before it can be considered the best dungeon in history.
Dungeon Reputation: 542423/10000000
Reward: Unknown
Punishment for failure: Unknown
Deadline: 10 years
As expected, a follow up quest had appeared.
When he had seen that this quest was only part one, Lin Fan already knew that there would be a second part of the quest released.
However, he never thought that it would be this kind of quest.
Reputation, that was certainly important.
However, at this point, Dungeon City was already a famous city in the entire Mu Empire. It was a city that everyone at least had some recognition of because of the strange feature that it had.
Even with all of this, the current reputation of his dungeon was only past five hundred thousand. The amount of reputation that he needed…was over ten million.
Being known across the entire Mu Empire only amounted to five hundred thousand reputation.
To achieve this ten million, wouldn’t he need to spread the fame of the dungeon across the entire continent?
Or maybe it would mean spreading the fame of the dungeon even to other continents…
This was by no means an easy feat…
It was just a good thing that the system hadn’t only given him two years, but rather a full ten years to finish this mission.
If he didn’t have this much time, it really would have been hard for Lin Fan to finish this second mission.
With a sigh, Lin Fan said, “I’ll just leave this for later. There’s still time to come up with a strategy with Yue Lan and Ming Xin later.”
After saying this, Lin Fan threw all thoughts of this second mission out of his mind as he focused on the reward from the first mission.
The Time Compression Room.
Based on this name, it was clear that this room had something to do with manipulating time.
But as for what it was, Lin Fan had no idea.
Luckily for him, the system had also prepared a description of this room for him.
The moment that he saw this description, Lin Fan couldn’t help being shocked.
