Luo Yan glanced at the Dark Night Elf Mage in surprise, noticing the seriousness on her face, and then lightly nodded as he spoke.
"Since this is a request from the party involved, I'll pardon their recklessness this ti, but don't expect it to be so easy next ti."
After pausing for a mont, he continued in a more softened tone.
"Take a couple of days off. I'll arrange for soone to temporarily take over your duties."
Aikudi gratefully glanced at Lord Demon King and nodded respectfully.
"As you command, Lord Demon King."
The cutscene ended.
The ghosts floating outside the door collectively heaved a sigh of relief.
Earlier, they had been banned by the system for 72 hours, unable to "log in," and could only move around within the core area of the Demon King Territory as ghosts.
Sure, floating into the dungeon to scare adventurers was fun, but not being able to operate a physical body was still unbearable.
Especially when the thought of 72 hours without farming got them itching like crazy.
Legendary Liver King: "That nearly scared to death. I thought I'd really have to spend three days locked in the little black room!"
Legendary Liver Dry King: "Woo woo woo... Elf Missy is so kind-hearted, I want to..."
Legendary Liver King: "No, you don't want to."
Beast Senior: "Man, living bodies are still way too fragile, go down with the slightest carelessness."
Legendary Liver King: "For sure, undead are much more durable."
Thank You for Non-at Rice: "Damn it! If only skeleton soldiers could use Natural Magic too."
Beast Senior: "They can use it! No one said they couldn't. It's probably just that your level is too low to learn it?"
Legendary Liver King: "Really, at the end of the day, you've gotta be strong yourself. Counting on NPCs for everything just doesn't work!"
Thank You for Non-at Rice: "Brothers, I'm planning to head to the frontlines for training for half a month! Wait till I co back rocking a Bronze Level Skeleton Mage badge!"
Legendary Liver King: "Go, go! Hurry up and go!"
Legendary Liver Dry King: "Oli give, bro! We're waiting for your return!"
Anyway.
Looks like the little black room ti was cut short after all.
...
The next day.
The "Catastrophe OL" official website featured a pinned announcent on the forum's hopage.
[Server Announcent: "Great Graveyard Production Safety Law" issued. Life Professional Players, please carefully read when employing NPCs to carry out production activities!]

Yiye Zhiqu: "Pending, huh... That works."
Gou Shi: "6666."
One Mouthful of Chemical Pool: "Is this a limited achievent? Can it still be unlocked? (Shocked)"
Legendary Liver King: "Damn it! Why did they put my na on this?! (Angry)"
Thank You for Non-at Rice: "Why did they leave my na out?! (Angry)"
Little Rascal Juice: "Good grief, you're proud of this now?! (Surprised)"
Yiye Zhiqu: "Judging by this announcent, not only will safety accidents not decrease, but player antics are bound to escalate. (Side-eye)"
Gotham Good Citizen: "Gahaha! Brothers, I'm claiming the pending second rule! (Evil grin)"
Los Santos Law-Abiding Citizen: "NPC: Don't you co over here! (Wry face)"
Hu Wan: "I already have a feeling of the chaotic ss the server will be in these coming days. (Facepalm)"
"..."
...
Hu Wan's prediction wasn't wrong.
Almost on the sa day the "Great Graveyard Production Safety Law" was issued, Beifeng City saw a surge of absurd antics.
These included, but were not limited to, smoking in flour mills, catching steel bars bare-handed in hot rolling factories, working at height without safety ropes, and washing feet on cent floors.
Builders, particularly civil engineering players, were outstanding in their creativity. In just one day, they contributed twenty typical cases of unsafe production conduct, resulting in the ash content in so of the under-construction cent buildings being significantly higher.
Many of these players were real-world construction workers and had a good grasp of what could send site supervisors into a rage-induced hypertension.
Nonetheless, the "Production Safety Law" was still a law. Getting your ID sent to the "Glory List" ca at a cost, so most players didn't take it too far. Many were rely staging for photos, restoring everything back to normal after filming with their recording crystals.
While these antics created a certain level of economic loss, players' "trial by fire" inadvertently served as an education for Beifeng City's residents.
Witnessing these creative deaths by the Demon King's minions, the newly joined residents of Beifeng City felt both shocked and enlightened, rembering the bizarre ways people could perish.
In a sense, it was a quirky form of safety education by example.
After this, many construction workers in the Great Graveyard not only gained a heightened sense of caution but even ford a habit of praying to their tools before using them.
But that's a story for another ti...
...
In the southern part of Beifeng Forest, a heavily ard caravan was slowly progressing.
The entire group consisted of nearly two hundred individuals, protecting thirty-plus tarp-covered wagons pulled by pack horses, moving along a dirt path worn down by footprints through the forest.
Seated on his horse, a man studied the map in his hands, comparing it to the northern mountain ranges as his brows furrowed slightly.
His na was Socduo, the head of the Socduo Chamber of Comrce. He was also a well-known businessman in the southern Ryan Kingdom, primarily dealing in timber and fur trades, while occasionally dabbling in the import and export of ores.
