Due to Edward's new policies, Thunder City had no shortage of cheap labor, especially since the work on the construction site required no technical skills, just physical strength.

In their view, the cooperation between the two parties was already settled.

Not long after the two left the construction site satisfied, a cloud of dust rose from the direction of the main entrance.

As the hurried footsteps approached, the clamorous voices of people became clearer.

[Earth-eating Rich Man] had not yet recovered from the windfall when he saw a large crowd of ragged refugees gather at the construction site's entrance.

Most of them were from the nearby refugee camp, and due to the decrease in relief porridge, they could no longer support their families and were forced to find a way to make a living.

Heard that the pay here was generous, with bonuses upon completion, they rushed over from all directions as if grabbing a lifeline.

Seeing [Earth-eating Rich Man] standing on the construction site, a ragged young man squeezed to the front of the crowd and shouted.

"Boss, let me join, I am strong and young, I can do any work!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the rich man could respond, a burly man also shouted.

"Boss, please look at me, I guarantee to be obedient! Whoever you ask me to beat, I will beat!"

A few players hearing this, their eyes widened.

Goodness.

Is this a place for proper work?

[Jade-faced Hand Tired King] couldn't help but interject.

"Can you handle maze work? Like beating demons."

The burly man's expression froze at these words, awkwardly smiling and withdrawing his hand.

"Well... boss, if I had that skill, why wouldn't I become an Adventurer myself."

Jade-faced Hand Tired King: "..."

Alright then.

It seems these people are essentially no different from the previous batch of dispossessed farmers we hired.

If there's any merit to them, it's probably that they have self-awareness.

[Iron-blooded Fatty] couldn't help but swallow: "Oh dear... have we triggered a hidden task?"

[Wolf Limp] shook his head in confusion.

"No idea."

[Earth-eating Rich Man] looked at the people clustered at the construction entrance and then at the business card in his hand, feeling a surge of emotion.

Where the real Gold lay was not in the maze... but clearly outside the maze in Thunder City.

After several hesitations in his heart, he finally made up his mind, cleared his throat, and spoke with authority.

"If you want to join, stay, but you must follow the group's rules and work hard!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the crowd erupted into cheers.

Evidently, these people only heard the first half of his sentence, that is, stay if you want to join.

"Oh oh!!"

"Rest assured, boss!"

"We'll listen to anything you say!"

The crowd, hearing this, instantly broke into joyous smiles, as though they found their group, cheering and rushing into the construction site, eyes filled with expectations for the future.

Watching the rushing crowd, [Earth-eating Rich Man] suddenly felt apprehensive and hurriedly added.

"We only need 200 people, can't support more, don't introduce all your relatives and friends here!"

His voice was drowned among the crowd. In just a few minutes, the Invincible Supreme Adventure Group doubled its number, rushing towards the 200 mark.

A few players couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Now it's settled.

They originally came to the surface with the intention of shedding the burdensome hangers-on, but ended up with even more hangers-on.

Tom and the others working on the site slightly frowned, a trace of worry flicked across their hearts—these newcomers might take away the hard-won job opportunities.

But when thinking about it as the boss's decision, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction.

After all, those four adventurers were their benefactors, not to mention they already got used to obeying in their resigned-to-fate lives.

Although no one spoke explicitly, in their subconscious, those four powerful adventurers had already become their de facto lords, shouldering the lord's feudal duties and powers.

The only difference, however, was merely a change in title.

Humans are highly adaptable animals; once a new production relationship is formed, a group of people will naturally evolve a new order to match it.

This is almost instinctual.

With the addition of new members, even those working on the construction site felt a slight sense of urgency.

Including those who joined in the construction site.

They all knew clearly that to gain a foothold here, they must exert more effort.

Thus, everyone gritted their teeth and worked even harder, with sweat constantly rolling down from their foreheads and dripping onto the ground beneath their feet.

From this moment on, they were no longer a simple ragtag group—

But an organized one.

[Earth-eating Rich Man] walked to Carl's side, sighed, and said.

"The situation was a bit unexpected... I might have to take on a couple more jobs in a few days, and I'll trouble you then."

Carl laughed heartily, his aged face glowing with vitality, looking full of spirit.

"How could it be trouble? Sir, just take on jobs without worry. I don't fear trouble, might as well bring a few more apprentices."

These people are easy to talk to, he liked cooperating with them.

Especially as he saw them as genuinely good people, not only with moral bottom lines but also valuing tradition.

Carl composed himself, looking at [Earth-eating Rich Man] sincerely continued to say.

"I have an immature suggestion, if you're just taking on temporary jobs, the Adventurer's identity suffices. But if you want to expand the business, it's better to register a company, which can make handling taxes easier and streamline processes when drafting contracts."

"I'm planning this matter." [Earth-eating Rich Man] lightly nodded, "How do you like the name Invincible Group?"

Carl was stunned for a moment, holding back for quite a while, he gave a vague evaluation.

"Uh, I think... there's nothing bad about it."

After all, a name is just a label.

And compared to this gentleman's name, the company's name isn't that odd, at most a bit over the top, not to the extent of being presumptuous.

[Earth-eating Rich Man] showed a satisfied smile.

"Then it's decided."

It was still unnoticed by anyone that their identities as Artificial Humans made them successfully infiltrate Thunder City.

Perhaps...

Growing large and strong might not be a bad idea.

He suddenly wanted to test the limits of this game.

To also test where his limits lay...

Horace stood outside the construction site, looking at the bustling construction site and the two people conversing amicably, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and felt even more apprehensive about the [Earth-eating Rich Man].

Over 200 people...

The Grizzly Gang had at most two to three dozen members at its peak, what's this guy, gathering such a large crowd, planning to do? Open a factory?

These days even adventurers are starting to meddle in the new industrial park's business, what a sight to behold!

Muttering under his breath, he shook his head, turned away from the construction site, and returned to his textile factory.

At this moment, whether it was [Earth-eating Rich Man] himself, the workers busy on the construction site, or Horace who had turned away, as well as everyone else, none of them realized, a new Condensation Core was gradually taking shape.

Like a seed, it fell on the blood-fertilized soil outside Thunder City along with many other seeds, and germinated, wildly growing...
