Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"Astral Gate is a system designed to allow people to travel around the vast Little Garden City. It connects the outer gates to all the outer gates."

"For example, the area we are in is located in the northern part of the East District, but if we roughly calculate the distance from here to the border of the North District... it should be about 980,000 kilometers."

"!!!"x4

Hearing this exaggerated and somewhat bizarre number, the four of them couldn't help but show shocked expressions.

You should know that the circumference of the Earth's equator is only about 40,000 kilometers, while the average distance from the Earth to the Moon is about 380,000 kilometers.

In other words, the distance from here to the northern boundary is about 2.6 times the average distance between the earth and the moon!

If we move by walking, ordinary people may never reach the boundary of the North District in their lifetime, right?

"This is the function of the Realm Gate. Whether it's for business, performances, holding or participating in the Gift Game... In the Little Garden City, the Realm Gate is almost the only way to travel to other areas."

Ren paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly:

"And the fee for each use is a gold coin issued by Thousand Eyes, which is a considerable expense for us at the moment."

After hearing this, everyone had roughly understood Ren's purpose.

If they want to achieve better development, moving to other regions is the inevitable future, but the current economic situation of their community does not allow them to do so.

If they become regional rulers, they can use the realm gate for free, and even the fees incurred by other communities when using the realm gate will become an important source of income for their community!

In addition, before being attacked by the Demon King, their community was the regional ruler of this area, so this can also be considered a step towards reviving the community.

"Isn't this pretty good?"

Izayoi Sakamaki cast an admiring look at Jin, then eagerly put his hands together and said:

"Regional ruler... I know it's a cool title right off the bat. It's very suitable as the first step forward for our community!"

Black Rabbit couldn't help but remind:

"It's not easy to be a regional ruler. Even if you are elected, you still have the important responsibility of developing the local area. It's not just about being cool!"

"Ha! We'll talk about this later!"

"in addition,"

Jiuyuan Feiniao raised his hand and said:

"By the way, is there a regional ruler in our area currently? If so, who is it?"

"This one……"

Ren and Kuroto looked at each other and couldn't help laughing:

"Not now, but in the past... it was [Fores Garo]."

"Eh? Can a guy like that become a regional ruler?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted. No matter what, the other party had almost swallowed up all the medium-sized communities in the area before. It was the most powerful local community in the area, and it was normal for it to become the regional ruler.

"But if even that guy can become a regional ruler, it suddenly seems like this goal isn't that difficult."

"You can't say that."

Black Rabbit explained:

"Garde used illegal means. To become a regional ruler, not only does the community need to be strong, but also the contribution to the region, as well as the recognition of other communities in the region, etc.... It is definitely not an easy task!"

"Black Rabbit is right."

Ren nodded and said:

"Anyway, anyway, from now on, please proceed step by step and work hard from the first Gift Game you participate in!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other three smiled at each other, and then said in unison:

"Of course!"

-

"Even so..."

A week later, the four of them fell into silence, seeing that the coins they had worked so hard to save from participating in the Gift Game were not even enough to cover the cost of using the Realm Gate once.

It seems that the matter of reviving the community is not as simple as they imagined.

What limits them most is the issue regarding the gift game.

They don't have the money to use the realm gate to go to other areas, so they can only participate in the gift games held by the community in this area.

However, the outer gate 2105380 where they were located was the most marginal area of ​​the East District. Even in the entire seven-digit layer, it was not prosperous, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as depressed.

Because of Jared's despicable means, most of the medium-sized communities have been dominated by the other party in the past three years. The situation of the communities that have just been freed is not much better than that of [No Name]. The rewards of the gift game they held can only be said to be useless.

There is another important reason -

That's because they are too strong.

Jared, who is considered the strongest in this area, is nothing to them. Therefore, when they participate in the gift game in this area, they are simply a dimensionality reduction attack on other contestants, and they win almost every game without suspense.

Because of this, many communities have begun to refuse them from participating in the game after hearing their names.

For many organizers, this kind of contestant who will definitely be rewarded by the other party is obviously not their favorite.

"My Lords... I am so sorry..."

"I'm really useless. I can't find a game that can allow you to show your true strength...!"

Faced with such a predicament, Hei Tu looked guilty and felt unspeakable self-blame in his heart.

The current situation is not that Fujimaru Ritsuka and others lack the ability, but due to the current situation of their community, the four of them are unable to exert their true strength. In other words, it is the community that is dragging down the development of several people.

"You're so long-winded! There's no point in saying all this nonsense, you stupid rabbit!"

"Eaaah?!"

Izayoi Sakamaki grabbed Black Rabbit's ears unhappily and pulled them hard. Ignoring her screams, he stroked his chin with his other hand and said:

"Anyway, the progress is too slow. We have to think of other ways."

At this time, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but raise his hand and said:

"Otherwise..."

"Reject!" x3

Before she could finish, the three problem children refused in unison.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was very upset:

"Can't you just listen to me?"

"No point in talking!" x3

The three problem children were extremely determined.

In fact, at the beginning she had suggested that as long as she sold some of the mysterious materials on hand, she would have enough funds to use the realm gate to go to other areas to participate in the game.

But, just like now, they rejected it.

The reasons given by the three were very simple, saying that they "didn't want to rely on her to solve everything."

Fujimaru Ritsuka could see that this was probably a decision made by the three of them out of personal self-esteem, so she decided to respect their wishes and not interfere.

However, judging from the current situation, if they continue to work step by step with their own efforts, they will probably have to plan for years just to become the regional ruler.

and so--

Fujimaru Ritsuka said helplessly:

“This time it’s a different proposal.”

"Huh?" x3

The three of them still maintained a resolute expression, but their ears pricked up quietly, and they were obviously very interested in this, which made her feel a little amused.

Then, she smiled and said:

"What I'm thinking is, since we can't earn more money all at once at this stage, we should consider the latter of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, that is to say--"

"Let's first solve the community's food problem."
