Grand Strategy

"If you give up, what are you going to do in Orario?"

Ming Ge continued to ask.

"Have no idea."

Elize said matter-of-factly, "Let's just take it one step at a time. I want to go check out the inner city first."

"This city is so big, there will always be a place for me."

Sharp.

Ming Ge found it hard to believe that this was an eight-year-old child.

Intelligent, principled, courageous, and with very clear logical thinking.

Compared to many people who live their lives in a daze, Elize, with her clear goals and intelligence, is destined to be a great person, barring unforeseen circumstances.

Despite her young age, she possesses strong self-confidence and personal charm, a fact that Ming Ge could recognize even from this conversation alone.

These are the core characters of the Astraea Familia from the original work...

'Gurgle~'

The two chatted for a long time, and after walking towards the inner city for a while, Elize smelled a pleasant scent.

It was noon, and she still hadn't eaten. After the aroma wafted over, her stomach started rumbling.

"This street has been designated as a commercial street, and there are many restaurants."

Seeing Elize's somewhat embarrassed expression, Ming Ge smiled and said, "Many of these delicacies were passed down from the king of this country, and many of them can't be found anywhere else. How about trying some?"

"I don't have much Valis left."

Elize hesitated.

"I'll treat."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "Since Orario began its transformation into a nation, most adventurers have returned to being ordinary people and have been assigned to work in suitable fields."

"The salary isn't low, I can afford to treat everyone to a meal."

"May I?"

Elize's eyes lit up as she said, "If it's possible, I'd appreciate it if you could. I'll treat you next time."

Hearing her words, Ming Ge was somewhat surprised and asked, "You actually agreed?"

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you just joking?"

Elize said with some disappointment.

"That's not it... but you've managed to come all the way from your hometown, so you should at least be quite cautious, right?"

Ming Ge asked doubtfully, "Wouldn't a typical traveler be so trusting of a stranger?"

"It's my intuition. My intuition tells me that my older brother doesn't have any bad intentions."

Elize said nonchalantly, "Besides, Orario's order and atmosphere are indeed quite good. If that Demon Lord really wanted to turn Orario into a country, he would never allow anyone to disrupt the order at this time."

Intuition, you say?

Intuition is a rather subtle word. Often, a person's intuition is inaccurate because it is not actually intuition.

Intuition is inaccurate because it interferes with our current cognitive instincts, and we mistakenly identify it as intuition.

Elize was indeed exceptionally gifted; she intuitively guessed Ming Ge's emphasis on the Orario Order.

This is indeed the case; many adventurers, even after finding jobs, are still restless and want to return to their old professions.

Ming Ge naturally wouldn't tolerate them, so she simply vanished without a trace.

"Besides, the older brother is very handsome, he doesn't seem like a bad guy at all."

As she spoke, Elize gave Ming Ge a thumbs up.

"Thank you for the compliment."

Ming Ge smiled, led Elize to a restaurant, and asked, "Can you eat spicy food?"

"Good."

Elize wore a confident expression.

"I'd like some spicy chicken, mapo tofu, and shrimp and fish soup. We'll have rice for our main course."

Ming Ge called over the waiter and then announced the names of the dishes.

He knew everything about Orario, and even though he had never been there before, Ming Ge knew all the dishes.

"It will take a while for the food to be served, let's continue our conversation."

Ming Ge glanced around; there were quite a few people, and it already resembled the bustling inner city of Orario.

These were people who had just finished their shift at the factory, chatting and joking around, looking very happy.

"OK."

Elize said with a grin, "But why is big brother asking this? Does it mean he has a crush on me?"

"Hmm... I guess so."

Ming Ge smiled and said, "If this were before the changes in Orario, someone like you would be the kind of promising newcomer every clan would be looking for."

"Is it still the same now?"

Elize tilted her head in confusion.

"Although I don't know your interests and talents, with your abilities, you could become a rising star no matter which direction you develop in."

"This includes the Familias that are still focused on exploration, as well as the Familias that are focused on hunting in the outside world."

Ming Ge said, "Given that Demon King's prestige, not many people objected after he proposed transforming Orario into a nation, because everything had been arranged."

"Forging-related families, potion-related families, and commerce-related families—these families can obtain resources and technologies that are unprecedented."
