Justice and kindness are often exploited.
But the emperor who thinks that showing his love for the people is beneficial, after weighing the pros and cons, will worry that someone will continue to take advantage of him in the future.
Let’s not talk about the young child involved for now, but for those officials who deliberately humiliated him and had bad intentions, even if we can’t find evidence, we can just fabricate evidence and punish them.
Freya estimated that if she only attacked Artemis and did these trivial things in secret, Su Qing would most likely not care and would just laugh it off.
This could be considered taking advantage of Su Qing's character weaknesses?
But this weakness was Su Qing's choice, and it was deliberately exploited.
If she felt that this weakness was fatal to Su Qing, and that she had already grasped Su Qing's Achilles' heel, she only needed to be careful and not let Su Qing find evidence of her plotting against him...
Then Su Qing would definitely not use the excuse that she had offended him to destroy his image of obeying and maintaining order.
——Just find some high-sounding reason and arrange for her.
But Freya also felt that Su Qing's personality was indeed easy to get along with. The red line that was not allowed to be touched was actually clear. What the weak needed to worry about was never what would happen if they touched the bottom line of the strong, but that the strong were too willful and the bottom line was too casual, so the weak would quietly provoke the strong.
Create small problems for Su Qing and Artemis that cannot be solved by force - at least, they cannot be solved too easily by force.
Freya thought to herself, no matter what, her behavior was essentially harmless to Su Qing...it shouldn't touch Su Qing's bottom line, right?
……
Commercial street.
Su Qing rubbed his brows.
"…Is it boring to be with me?"
Artemis pouted, half complaining and half insecure.
Even if her personality is indifferent, she is still a goddess, no matter how disguised she is. She is on a date now. Su Qing is not so energetic on the date, and she feels a little dissatisfied.
But on the other hand...she was also worried whether dating her was really that boring and whether she was really that unattractive.
It was fine before, Artemis had never been unconfident, she was looking for her destined partner.
Since it is destined, all the conditions of the other party will naturally be to her liking and she will not be dissatisfied with anything.
But after it was revealed that Orion's arrow did not have the function of choosing a partner, Artemis became a little unconfident.
We have been virgin goddesses for hundreds of millions of years. After being single for such a long time, am I really lacking in charm?
Su Qing shook her head slightly and smiled, "It has nothing to do with you... It seems someone is talking about me."
If she opens her perception to its full potential, then given the power level of the Earthly World, no conversation within Orario can escape her scanning.
But Su Qing wanted to see what these goddesses were going to do, so he did not activate wide-area perception. Instead, he focused most of his perception on Artemis. His computing power built a model in his mind and deduced how to differentiate the gods from the same individual.
The differentiation of the Moon Goddess is ready-made information, but when it comes to other priesthoods, Su Qing still needs to calculate the differentiation method.
Somehow, Su Qing felt that someone was talking about him, but it was only a vague feeling.
Artemis' heart skipped a beat, wondering if the strong people from another world could have such abilities?
Worried that Su Qing would ask too many questions and see through her plan, Artemis quickly laughed and said with her chest puffed out, "I am a goddess after all. It would be abnormal if no one talks about you when you are with a goddess, right?"
As she said this, Artemis secretly glanced at Su Qing.
I feel a little guilty.
In the heaven, she had hardly ever received any compliments on her beauty. As the CEO of the Falun Gong Group in the heaven, she had broken up countless couples. The gods who were interested in love matters were too busy avoiding her.
On the ground, her family members were also forbidden from having impure relationships - not completely forbidden, but a so-called pure relationship should at least include the awareness of sacrificing one's life for the other half, right?
But every time someone took a fancy to her family and she asked them if they were willing to die, the person in question backed off.
In short, Artemis thought that she was not very popular in the underworld and not many people liked her - the truth was the opposite of what she thought. Many people liked her cold and unapproachable nature, but they just wouldn't say it to her.
When she had Orion's arrow as a support, Artemis didn't think too much about it, but now, she really doubted her own charm.
Su Qing shook his head slightly and smiled. After a brief acquaintance, his communication with Artemis became much smoother, but the content of their communication mostly stayed on "career".
Su Qing was also somewhat helpless.
He did have no experience at the beginning, but he thought he had adjusted himself after a short while. With his speed of thinking, wouldn't it be easy for him to incorporate military tactics into the routine of love?
But the thing is… this is the Moon Goddess!
She is the moon goddess who can sit there for a whole year holding a ball of yarn.
Her view on love is that she will do anything for the person she likes, but will remain indifferent no matter how much the person she doesn't like does for her.
Being able to get into her heart can make even a dull person a love guru. He doesn't need to do anything, she can conquer herself.
If you can't get into her heart, no matter how outstanding you are or how good you are to her, our relationship will at best remain just friendship.
Artemis has been able to remain single for hundreds of millions of years despite wanting to fall in love, thanks to his extremely awkward values.
Now...she was just acting and didn't consider Su Qing as a love interest.
That's why Su Qing was curious about what Artemis, with her personality, would do when she approached him under the pretext of love...
But Artemis really didn't do anything. She tried to bring up the topic of love, but it was too abrupt and Su Qing couldn't continue.
Su Qing sighed, looked at the sky, and thought that there should be changes.
——Someone tricked Artemis here. Seeing this situation, there should be follow-up actions.
As I was thinking this, suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, followed by a few muffled sounds, and shouting and cursing.
Artemis' eyes sharpened.
The Moon Goddess was about to take action, but in the instant her body paused, she seemed to remember that she had another mission. She subconsciously turned her head and glanced at Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded and said, "Let's go and take a look together?"
He was also a little curious about what was waiting for him ahead.
-
During this period, Orario was not at peace.
The dungeon was temporarily closed to the public, which had a significant impact on low-level adventurers.
For high-level adventurers, this is just like a vacation. Even if the clan of a high-level adventurer is poor, even if they have just taken out a loan to buy high-level weapons and are heavily in debt, they can still borrow enough money to maintain their lives based on their credit.
High-level adventurers and powerful families are their golden signs. The guild cannot always forbid high-level adventurers from entering the dungeon to adventure.
——Even if we take a step back, big businessmen are not stupid.
Even if the dungeon was permanently sealed due to the incident at the Tower of Babel - without the dungeon, high-level adventurers would inevitably gradually leave Orario, and the world would be reshuffled.
The high-level adventurers of Orario are not considered poor, but they are not rich either.
Between wealth and strength, high-level adventurers chose strength and honed themselves in dungeons. The precious materials they obtained could certainly be sold at extremely high prices, but that wealth was actually not worthy of the adventurers' strength.
A first-rate adventurer can be able to rival a country, but it is basically impossible for a first-rate adventurer to be as rich as a country.
High-level adventurers are not short of money. Most of them just sell materials instead of running their own forces.
High-ranking adventurers have a high status, but it is the kingdoms and nobles outside of Orario who hold extensive wealth and power.
The high-level adventurers don't care. Perhaps if they spend only one-tenth of their adventuring time outside of Orario, their wealth can be doubled. But they are not short of money anyway. The high-level adventurers all think that strength is more important and devote themselves to adventuring in dungeons.
It's a good thing for the whole world that adventurers can enter the dungeon to adventure.
If the dungeon really disappeared, the adventurers of Orario would have no reason to stay in Orario... they would definitely leave Orario, and the situation in the world would be reshuffled.
No businessman would be so naive as to think that high-level adventurers would become poor if they did not kill monsters to obtain materials dropped.
Without the dungeon as a place for adventure, adventurers will only become rich. Without monsters to fight and the goal of becoming stronger, the adventurers' goals will naturally shift to power and wealth.
Those without moral integrity occupy the kingdom, those with moral integrity are recruited by the kingdom to fight against those who cause trouble... In short, high-level adventurers have the strength here, so it is impossible for them to lack money.
The people who are most worried about whether the dungeon will continue to be opened are not the adventurers whose lives are closely related to the dungeon, but the wealthy and powerful people in the outside world.
Without the dungeon, all the adventurers of Orario would be released, as would the rich and powerful and so on. Would it be possible for them to maintain their current wealth and status?
Compared to high-level adventurers, low-level adventurers have had a difficult time these days.
Dungeons are a source of wealth for low-level adventurers, and their expenses are also low. However, there will always be adventurers and their families who have just spent all their money, and they will sell the weapons and props they bought at high prices in the past at low prices in exchange for daily necessities.
Low-level adventurers are also adventurers, but their lives are a little tight. If they really have no choice, they can go to the guild for free meals.
There is no need to enter the dungeon, and while there is no income, there is no need to spend too much.
What is really difficult to maintain is the family that still maintains huge expenses until now.
such as--
Soma clan.
Chapter 61 Lily
In Orario, there are many kinds of families. The most common ones are exploration families. Secondly, there are families like Hephaestus who are good at forging and play an auxiliary role to the exploration families.
But in the final analysis, a clan is not a business.
Where the market is good, companies will appear, and where the market is bad, companies will go bankrupt, but it is different with clans. The emergence and disappearance of clans depends on interest.
The gods will only establish a clan if they find it interesting. If the gods are not interested, no clan will be interested even in a profitable industry.
Many people cannot imagine how rotten the clan can be.
Lilylukaard lamented her fate.
It would be great if I had not been born into Su Mo’s clan.
Only extreme light can give birth to extreme darkness.
In the heroic biographies, the conditions in ancient times were extremely bad. Even skilled fighting races like the elves and the Amazons would suffer heavy casualties from monster attacks, not to mention the physically weak and pitiful dwarf humans.
Later, gods descended to the earth, adventurers appeared, and life on the surface began to live a life that could be called peaceful.
The coming of gods to this world is a blessing of rebirth for the lives in the lower world.
It is for this reason that there is an indispellable darkness among the gods' followers.
