According to the program team, the program will be launched online next week. In order to cooperate with Thousand Rays Society's popular science program, all aspects have been given the green light.

Xu Nan didn't care; as long as the time was enough to meet the mission deadline, that was fine.

Only after doing all this did he have time to manage the dungeon.

Since the relocation was completed, security has indeed improved significantly, and under Xu Nan's instructions, the development speed of the underground city has also increased.

In addition to the relatively complete development of the Farming Garden, the increased population has also injected fresh blood into the development of the underground city.

It must be said that the acceleration channel provided by the Blazing Fire is indeed very powerful. In just over half a month, the Crimson Lotus Altar has absorbed more than 300 wanderers from all over the multiverse!

There is even a village of humanoid beings among them.

Such human villages are actually quite numerous. In the grand scheme of the multiverse, they are but a drop in the ocean. In fact, if Xu Nan hadn't possessed an independent acceleration channel, they wouldn't have been able to be transported here by the Wandering Altar.

This isolated village was struck by an unprecedented plague, and many people died, especially the elderly and children.

The remaining able-bodied people were forced to leave their homes with their already meager wealth. They were attacked by wild beasts in the wilderness, their population dwindled, and the harsh climate left them helpless. Fortunately, they encountered a Wandering Altar in the wild, and their sincere prayers earned them the generous assistance of City Lord Xu.

These villagers became the first large-scale human settlement in Linxia City. Xu Nan did not plan to let them interact directly with the dwarves and minotaurs for the time being, since it was not easy for various races to live in harmony.

Xu Nan allowed them to establish a separate settlement near the underground city, a certain distance away from the settlements of the Minotaur and dwarves.

These people were extremely grateful to Xu Nan, and they showed considerable obedience to his request not to go out at will, since they didn't know where they had been sent, and this place might be a very dangerous world.

For these homeless people, being given a place to stay is already a blessing, let alone having enough food.

Of course, Xu Nan wouldn't let them develop a habit of reaping without sowing. After the initial period of rest and recuperation, he planned to have these humans take over the work of the Farming Garden and expand the planting area.

Dwarves are really overqualified for farming; their stamina is excellent, and they're much better suited for mining...

In this process, communication will inevitably take place between the Imp Leader has mastered the Hybrid Rice cultivation technique and humans. Xu Nan believes that this indirect contact is more suitable for enhancing the friendship among the residents of the underground city.

Besides these ordinary people, the Crimson Lotus Altar also recruited many elite talents for Xu Nan. In half a month, a total of nine elite talents were recruited, six of whom were professionals and three had special abilities.

Among the professionals were two Magician Apprentice who had defected from the organization, a middle-aged mercenary warrior, a voluptuous Half-Demon Elder Sister, and an Elf Race Bard.

The remaining three are a master tailor, a herbalist, and an orc shaman.

In fact, every wanderer has a painful past to recall; but Xu Nan has no intention of delving into their past. Since they prayed to the Wandering Altar and entrusted their lives to him, they will be reborn in his own underground city.

As long as they don't cause trouble for their fathers, Xu Nan will let bygones be bygones.

What troubled him was that there were no administrative talents among this group, and he couldn't very well go to Earth to find professional managers to manage his underground city; and he himself was too busy with various other matters to attend to everything.

However, this problem that had been giving Xu Nan such a headache was soon solved.

At a crucial moment, the Fairy Nymph Lulu demonstrated the potential of a qualified dungeon administrator.

No wonder she was able to get along well with those Minotaur before. Under Xu Nan's probing, she managed and assigned these tasks in an orderly manner, and her extraordinary charm also made her very adept at handling matters.

She had previously managed an underground city, and although the population was small, she still had experience.

Until a better candidate is found, Xu Nan has no choice but to have Lulu temporarily take over.

It's worth mentioning that while Xu Nan was struggling with a lack of administrative talent, Qin Lele repeatedly offered to serve as both the City Management Captain and the chief administrative officer...

Xu Nan expressed his gratitude but politely declined her offer to join him.

If this girl were to actually take over all the affairs of Linxia City, who knows how things would turn out!

Because of the gradual increase in population, a certain City Management Captain has started to act arrogantly and domineeringly. Xu Nan must nip this bad trend in the bud!

"Let me see what surprises the Crimson Lotus Altar has in store for me today!"

Xu Nan ran happily to the Crimson Lotus Altar, only to find that the crystal slab clearly displayed:

Your Crimson Lotus Altar has been banned. Please purchase the official altar. Thank you for your cooperation!

Xu Nan was completely dumbfounded. "What's going on? Why am I banned?"

He carefully examined the message records from the crystal slab and discovered that he had overlooked many private messages from other people.

[Aren't you going a bit too far? Everyone shares one account, and you've taken everyone's account?]

[This is the second week already, and we've had absolutely no results. I don't know how you managed it, but I hope you can tone it down.]

[Ha! Using pirated software and still so arrogant, you're infuriating! Do you really think we can't do anything to you? If we can't use it, you can't use it either, you'll all die!]

Then came a long list of reports.

Xu Nan had no idea how the Arcane Empire's altar system worked; how could someone actually be controlling and operating it? He was truly astonished; they had even banned the account.

He took a look and roughly understood: it seemed that a large number of pirate users were complaining that he had taken away their population and left them with nothing, so they just self-destructed.

With so many reports, this genuine serial number has been banned...

"Huh?" Xu Nan spotted a legitimate user among a group of pirate users!

He appears to be the true master of the Crimson Lotus Altar!

That Crimson Lotus Altar had been sitting there for so long, and it actually got sold.

However, the buyer probably didn't expect that before they could even enjoy the altar they had just acquired, their official account was banned.

That adorable person left a unique message in the public chat area for the serial number:

"??? Why is there so much strange information on the altar I just bought? Who are you? Why was I banned even though I followed the normal procedure?"

Xu Nan could only silently wish that kind and lovely person a peaceful and safe life.

He checked and found that the only solution in this situation was to change the serial number. Lost Paradise should provide some technical support, so legitimate buyers wouldn't suffer too much loss.

"Sigh, I guess I still have to go buy one myself!"

He sighed and silently left the Crimson Lotus Altar.

After settling his affairs on Earth, he went directly to Lost Paradise.

He wasn't going to buy an altar today; rather, negotiations between Lost Paradise and Stephenson were about to begin.

Xu Nan planned to travel directly to Stephenson, the legendary Floating City, through the passage of Lost Paradise.

I wonder how many surprises Stephenson Sands will bring him on this trip?

He was somewhat expectant.

Earth, China.

Online, the first trailer has been released, and with the gimmick of revealing the lives of professionals, "Extraordinary Idol Trainee" has quickly become popular and has become one of the most hotly discussed topics.

Even before its premiere, it already had such influence, demonstrating the unique nature of professionals.

It's worth mentioning that, whether it was because the director intentionally flattered Xu Nan (the program's chief director is a P4 in Thousand Rays Society, while Xu Nan is already a P5 big shot), or because Xu Nan's image stands out among a group of handsome men and beautiful women, he occupied one-sixth of the sixty-second edit and appeared in quite a few shots.

With her already outstanding appearance and the added effect of post-production, Xu Nan suddenly caught the attention of some people.

Unfortunately, his number was too late, and he consistently lagged behind in the expectation vote, which was exactly what Xu Nan hoped to see.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned; it happened at night.

On Dou Lv tv, Xin'er, who was about to end the broadcast, suddenly saw this comment.

[Xin'er, Xin'er! I grew up watching your live streams, and now I'm participating in Extraordinary Idol Trainee!]

My number is 56, can you guys pick me?

My dream is to become a high-quality idol. Thank you everyone in the Live Stream Room!

Xin'er glanced at the fan badges and realized they were indeed familiar old fans who had previously given her tips and support. So, encouraged by the crowd, she opened the voting page for the Extraordinary Idol Trainee's expectation value.

In reality, this round of voting is pointless; it's just a way to generate buzz. People haven't even seen the show yet, and they can only vote with their feet based on a few photos and simple text descriptions.

Xin'er found number 56 and was just about to vote when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar face out of the corner of her eye.

She hesitated for a moment, then silently cast her vote for number 57, the handsome guy.

She wasn't a very talkative person to begin with, and she coldly ended the broadcast after casting her vote.

A series of question marks appeared in the Live Stream Room.

Soon, someone realized. "Doesn't number 57 look familiar? Isn't he the one who was eating chicken on the Himalayan Mountains? He looks like my brother-in-law!"

"When Xin'er just ended her live stream, her mouse hovered over her brother-in-law's avatar for a few seconds. She was hinting that we should step up our efforts and vote quickly!"

"Brothers, charge!"

As a result, Xu Nan's popularity skyrocketed, and she made it to the top of the homepage.

Contestant number 57 rushed to the next row, which immediately sparked heated discussions. Soon, some photos of Xu Nan were exposed online.

Wow! So handsome!

"He's definitely my new husband!"

"His stunning good looks could be the sole reason for all my screen savers this year!"

Many Elder Sister have started.

Lost Paradise, the third- Intermediate Alchemy Center.

"Sean? Still at work? You don't need to work so hard..."

A portly sorcerer greeted his new subordinate with a smile, "We're working with the Organizing Committee of Six-Nine Plan, so the workload isn't that heavy. While your dedication to working overtime is admirable, being a loner isn't a good thing."

Sean became a little reserved. "I just want to get familiar with the business as quickly as possible..."

Beep beep beep!

Just then, a mechanical sound rang out.

The two looked back and saw a very conspicuous name at the top of the leaderboard for this issue, completely replacing the previously flamboyant Melissa!

"Is there something wrong with the data?" The portly warlock rubbed his eyes, looking at the tens of thousands of people and the even more outrageous scores, somewhat surprised.

"Hahaha... I think the Organizing Committee's technical staff are unreliable!"

The sorcerer patted his belly optimistically and turned back with a grin:

"Such an outrageous data bug, how can we expect them to come and fix it? According to this data, wouldn't tens of thousands of people be calling this person 'husband'?"

However, when he turned around, he only saw a pale green face.

Poor Sean's eyes were lifeless, his tall body huddled in the comfortable chair, trembling slightly, muttering to himself.

The pot-bellied sorcerer was startled and hurriedly went over, thinking that Sean had developed hysteria.

As he leaned closer, he overheard Sean repeating the same phrase over and over:

"He's doing it again..."

"He's doing it again..."

My colleague asked curiously, "What are you starting? Do you need me to cast an exorcism spell for you?"

Sean glanced at him, his eyes filled with envy.

He mustered his strength and insisted, "If you suspect there's a data error, have the technicians come over now."

His colleagues were extremely surprised, but unable to resist Sean's insistence, they used their connections to call in technicians.

After repeated testing, Xu Nan's data was found to be without any problems.

My colleague's gaze also began to glaze over.

Sean touched his thick hair, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Now you understand my reaction, right?"

"Unfortunately, we'll probably have to get used to this happening frequently..."

My portly colleague started frantically flipping through files. "I need all of this guy's information within five minutes!"

Sean was startled. "What are you trying to do? We can't violate our professional ethics..."

His colleague glanced at him, his eyes burning with fervor:

"What are you thinking? I just want to ask him for a secret recipe to nourish the kidneys!"

"Tens of thousands of women..."

"He must have had an iron kidney implanted!"

...!
