Chapter 102: Building the “Labyrinth Town

Sorry, the introduction to “Labyrinth Town” was almost interrupted by the pervy Princess Chlorel’s spellcasting.

Su Yao paid a small price and successfully escaped from the bathroom, just clearing out a spare bedroom for Chlorel—but… that turned out to be quite a big problem…

At least, she didn’t agree to bring up those “tools” from the dungeon for Chlorel. Mm, that way, there shouldn’t be any issues～

As she left the inn room, she bumped into Rosa, who was hurrying by.

The new “Labyrinth Industry” always had staffing shortages.

Since the first-phase Employee Dormitory wasn’t finished yet, Su Yao could only recruit from the current staff.

She picked a few decent-looking, simply educated men from the construction team, and chose some pretty girls from the Labyrinth Tavern maids.

Speaking of pretty girls, how could you forget Miss Elf?

She was well-educated, well-mannered, and could handle the accounts; Miss Rosa was smoothly promoted and given a raise, becoming the “Manager” of this inn.

“Good morning, Miss Rosa. How do you like the ‘new room’?”

“Good morning, Boss Su Yao. The new room is wonderful, especially the ‘water heater’ and ‘bathtub’ for bathing. They’re truly amazing.”

Seeing how much she liked it put Su Yao’s mind at ease.

High-end inns aren’t affordable for everyone. Even the cheapest “single standard room” costs a gold coin and fifty silver coins per night.

Of course, aside from the comfortable living environment, that price also included a banquet at the “Labyrinth Tavern.”

All the menu options are listed, and if guests want to pay extra, they can eat even better.

They can even order custom dishes from Su Yao if they wish.

Because every room in this inn is expensive, there are currently less than ten guests staying.

Except for Uzo, the rest are all famous adventurers from Moravia.

If you go by the ranking system, they’re at least “A-rank.”

The Eye of Truth shows they’re all about level thirty-something in strength.

But leaving so many rooms empty felt like a waste.

So Su Yao decided that outstanding dungeon employees could rent these rooms at just ten percent of the price before the inn was full.

Rosa, whose wages had just gone up, was one of these lucky ones.

“As long as you like it. Just don’t forget to work hard, okay～”

Living above ground again after three months felt amazing, but for her grander ambitions, Su Yao still had a lot to discuss with the Sylvie Chamber of Commerce.

“Wait, Boss! That’s not why I was looking for you.”

“What is it?”

“Two guests just arrived downstairs, but they refuse to register their identities.”

Ah, so it’s this. “Real-name registration” isn’t common in this world; in fact, it’s rare even in countries where Su Yao came from. Guests like this are to be expected.

“Tell them that if they won’t register, they can sign a ‘Contract.’ If they refuse that too, send them to Moravia. Oh, and have Uzo go with you—I’m not giving him free ‘Vodka’ for nothing.”

As this is a high-end inn, and the rooms feature things like modern “flush toilets” and “water heaters,”

Su Yao requires every guest to provide proof of identity and register.

Of course, in a world without “ID cards,” implementing “real-name registration” is quite difficult.

A “Police Station” can’t really be set up yet.

For those truly unwilling to register, signing a “Demon Contract” promising not to steal or intentionally damage the inn’s facilities is acceptable.

“Understood, I get it.”

The inn had only just opened, so Rosa still wasn’t experienced at handling such issues.

But as long as Su Yao told her once, she basically wouldn’t have to worry again.

Capable staff really make things easy.

Knock, knock, knock.

“Sylvie, are you there? Mind if I come in for a moment?”

As the former Chamber of Commerce president, Sylvie’s daily routine was very regular.

Except for the three days after she arrived at the dungeon—Su Yao could understand; after all, a frail woman had been tormented by a sadistic prince for nearly a week, so it was only natural she needed time to rest.

During those three days, Eveleel stayed by her side and cared for her the whole time.

It was truly touching; this princess was much more considerate than a certain princess!

“Please come in, Miss Su Yao.”

The one who opened the door was Sylvie’s Butler. The Ashley Family was finished now, but thanks to Eveleel’s efforts, most of the innocent servants were spared.

The hollowed-out Ashley Chamber of Commerce was personally handed over by Eveleel to the Noble Investigation Team sent by the Vichy Royal Family.

Wilrey Ashley was executed for “colluding with foreign powers to short the Chamber of Commerce, causing a massive outflow of gold” and “allowing foreign spies free passage through his territory, leading to the prince and his guards’ disappearance.”

Sylvie was also wanted for the same crimes, but with Su Yao and Eveleel around, her safety was not an issue.

“Thank you.”

This grey-templed old man had followed Sylvie for five years, one of the few talents who could handle the accounts.

With him and Sylvie, the burden on Chlorel was greatly reduced.

But this was only for the period before the “Labyrinth Chamber of Commerce” was set up.

Apparently, after Eveleel finished dealing with the Vichy Kingdom’s investigation team, she would head to the Rhine Empire.

Sylvie planned to go with her then, find suitable business partners, settle there, and gradually open up a new commercial territory.

So, these last dozen days were among the few times she could help Su Yao and Chlorel with official business.

“Welcome. What do you need my help with today?”

“Come on, I’m not that heartless of a boss. It’s not like I squeeze capable employees dry… But if possible, I hope you can introduce me to some capable employees.”

Sylvie’s sky-blue hair had faded to pale purple, and her icy aura had softened considerably. Now, her mature composure was tinged with a touch of allure.

Of course, it wasn’t just her looks; she also looked much healthier than before. Seems her life with Eveleel was going well.

“Introducing staff is fine, but where do you plan for them to live? In your dungeon?”

“Of course not. The first-phase Employee Dormitory is already under construction. With plenty of funds and materials, the timeline is much shorter, so I want to recruit some ‘talent’ in advance.”

All the town’s construction was handled by architect Frank. Building the Employee Dormitory in phase one was already planned.

Not just the Employee Dormitory—construction had also started on the “Police Station” and “Market.”

As the population grew, maintaining order and trading for various daily necessities became especially important.

Before, supplies were handled by Su Yao’s System Mall or bought during staff days off, but obviously, building a “Market” would make things much easier.

“That’s possible, but about your ‘Employee Dormitory,’ that might not work. The talents I know all have families.”

“Ah?”

That was an oversight, but Su Yao only thought for a moment before replying, “No problem. Plans never keep up with change. You just handle the introductions; leave the rest to me!”
