It's been almost a month since numerous players and monsters joined forces to carry out construction to revitalize Eldorado.
[CHAPTER 3: Revitalize the Golden City of Eldorado.]
[Time remaining: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]
Only one day remains, but anyone can see that the city has developed incomparably from a month ago.
Unlike before when there were only 5 areas, it has now expanded to 10 areas, and monsters occupy a wider area.
Additionally, each guild was given the authority to establish their headquarters.
Of course, taxes must be imposed accordingly, but it's possible to use at a much cheaper price than other cities, and numerous merchants and trading companies have started to enter the city.
Merchants with an incredible sense for money wouldn't miss this, but as initially discussed, Lala Trading holds the monopoly rights.
Thanks to that, it didn't take long for the small-scale trading company to grow into a large-scale one.
The building of Lala Trading, which I visited after a long time, was shining brilliantly.
When I entered the building, it was bustling with people, and a clerk who spotted me volunteered to guide me to the company head.
Following the clerk into the room, I saw Lala buried in documents.
"Who is this! If it isn't my one and only friend!"
As soon as she saw me, she jumped out and hugged me, is she that happy?
"It's been a while. Business seems to be going well?"
"Of course! Other trading companies and merchants can only sell through our company, and it's quite lucrative!"
She made a gesture towards me, which was so like Lala.
I smiled and handed Lala a list of needed items, and she said she'd get them within 3 days.
"That's too late. I'll give you 12 hours."
"Are you a robber!?"
"10 hours."
"That's too much!"
She burst out angrily and rushed out, but judging by the fact that she didn't say she couldn't do it, it seems possible.
As expected, it's good to have one friend, right?
At that moment, our Yong-yong pulled me and pointed to a corner.
In one corner, unique-grade magic stones were piled up, and it was drooling and looking at them with shining eyes, asking if it could eat them.
"Kyuung."
"Hmm, a few should be okay, right?"
"Kyuuung!"
With those words, it rushed in and started devouring the magic stones, but it wasn't just a few...
"S-stop! You can't eat anymore!"
"Kyuung!"
Yong-yong, who had eaten half of the magic stones, burped with a satisfied expression. I hugged Yong-yong and was about to leave the scene when at that moment.
"I forgot to mention, but you shouldn't eat the magic stones...?"
Lala, who opened the door and came in, was saying this to me while looking at the magic stones piled in the corner, when suddenly her legs gave out and she collapsed.
"Where did the magic stones go...?"
"W-we ate well and are leaving!"
As I was running away saying I'd leave a 5-star review, I heard a scream from behind.
It sounds like she's saying she won't let this slide, but that must be my imagination.
"Kyuung."
"Ahaha..."
Our Yong-yong saying we should come raid this delicious place again next time.
If we do that, we might see a Kraken destroying the city...

[CHAPTER 3: Revitalize the Golden City of Eldorado.]
[Time remaining: 00 hours 00 minutes 59 seconds]
All preparations are complete.
Only 1 minute remains.
[Channels are being integrated due to the main quest.]
The channels were integrated and all players gathered in one place.
An unfamiliar scene of numerous players and monsters together.
Though I don't know by what criteria they'll check the revitalization, we've made every preparation and are waiting, and the time has come.
[CHAPTER 3: Revitalize the Golden City of Eldorado.]
Begin.
Along with the golden window, an anomaly occurred.
The sky split and the earth cracked, revealing numerous races.
Angels and demons appeared in the sky, and from the ground, the World Tree of the middle world appeared along with the Forest Clan and dwarves.
Why are you all coming out from there...?
The angels and demons were growling at each other as soon as they met.
"Do you know how much overtime we have because of you!? We can't go home!"
"Ha! Then you should have been born as demons!"
The Forest Clan and dwarves didn't seem to get along either.
"What business do you long-ears have coming here with your heavy bottoms?"
"You shorties talk a lot. Small in stature but big in mouth."
As I was watching the races fighting each other, an alert window popped up.
[We will begin evaluating the Golden City of Eldorado. Representatives of each race, please begin.]
From the celestial realm, of course, the Heavenly King came forward and waved at me.
"It's been a while, Yuna. Come visit us sometime."
Like the celestial realm, the Demon King stepped forward as the representative of the demon realm.
"Don't play with those chicken wings, come visit the demon realm. Isn't our Yuna a proud duke of the demon realm?"
With those words, they smiled at each other brightly, but it was frightening.
From the Forest Clan, the Elder stepped forward and smiled.
"Thanks to Yuna, we're living a peaceful life. Now it's our turn to repay the kindness we received."
Similarly, the representative of the dwarf clan was the grandfather from the Silver Blacksmith Shop who came forward.
"It's been a while, little one. Thanks to our little one's promotion back then, many people came and business has been great!"
The grandfather laughed heartily, saying thanks for the promotion.
The system seemed to recognize the situation and a new alert window appeared.
[Due to questions about fairness, a new race will be added.]
With the alert, a gate was created and merfolk revealed themselves.
They're Sirens.
And as soon as she spotted me, the Queen waved.
"Savior! It's been a while!"
"Queen! It's good to see you after so long!"
As we greeted each other happily, everyone looked at me with strange eyes.
Especially our guild members who looked at me with dumbfounded eyes.
"Why does Yuna know everyone!?"
"She even knows races I've never seen before!?"
"Ahaha. I just happened to meet them while doing quests."
As we were having this miscellaneous conversation, another golden window appeared.
[Due to fairness issues, a new race will be added.]
How ugly, System.
But unlike before, the atmosphere vibrated and all races began to be on guard.
A subspace opened and a being revealed itself.
A girl with long straight black hair similar to Dragon King Ernia, snow-white skin, and ruby-red eyes appeared.
Then she spotted me and waved.
"Yunaaaa! I missed you!!"
As I waved back to the girl waving at me, she smiled brightly and teleported in front of me.
"Really! You disappeared without saying anything back then, do you know how much I missed you!?"
"Who are you!?"
She's talking about feeling hurt without even explaining who she is, but who are you!?
At that moment, red warning windows dominated the world.
[Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!]
The numerous warning windows continued for a while and then suddenly disappeared as if nothing had happened.
And a new golden window appeared.
[The evaluation team, please move to Area 1 for inspection.]
With the alert to start the evaluation from Area 1, the representatives of each race moved with me.
The Heavenly King, who was sticking close to my side and glancing at me, spoke in a cold voice.
"Even if our Yuna is involved, if it's terrible, I'll cut points mercilessly."
"Ahaha. Please go easy on me."
"Then can we do that later?"
If it's 'that', it must be the airplane game...
As soon as I nodded with a blushing face, she marked all 10 points on the document.
An evaluation document with scores from 0 to 10.
"Is it okay to give 10 points without even looking!?"
"It's fine."
The other races weren't going to just sit still seeing this.
The Demon King grinning and looking at me, saying she had already marked 10 points.
The Forest Clan saying they could give 10 points anytime if it would help their benefactor, and the dwarf who shouted heartily that he wouldn't give petty scores and marked 10 points.
The Siren race marking 10 points saying they're glad they could help their savior, and even the mysterious girl hugging me and saying 10 points is natural for her sister.
So who are you again!?
