◎Card system major upgrade◎
Because the lunch was so delicious that the slimes were reluctant to leave the table, when they heard the Demon King order them to spend the night in the military camp and set out with the demon soldiers the next day, they did not panic at all. Instead, they excitedly looked forward to the arrival of dinner.
In the afternoon, Warren brought the Slime Chief back to the Demon King's Palace and continued to inquire about the relationships and territories of the various tribes in the Demon Realm, whether each tribe had unique food or other tools, and recorded all of the Slime Chief's answers in the memo of the card system.
He had originally planned to continue teaching the demons how to write at night, but considering the slimes' presence, he temporarily changed it to a storytelling session. He picked and chose from Aesop's fables, and finally found a story about a frog race, which he told to everyone in a vivid way.
At first, the slime demons were a little nervous, wondering if the 'Devil's Little Class' mentioned by the demon soldiers would be some kind of multiplayer battle with bloodshed. However, they were pulled to sit on chairs and listen to the story. They soon went from being at a loss to being fully focused, with their minds full of the frog that won because of its deafness.
After finishing the story, Warren knocked on the table, signaling the demons to keep quiet, and solemnly announced: "Tomorrow I will go to the land of the slimes to open up a trade channel between the Demon King's Palace and the Forbidden Plains. Polly, Erke, you two lead the team and follow me."
When the Slime Chief heard that the Demon King was going to the tribe’s territory in person, his face turned bitter.
Polly and Erke, who were personally named by the Demon King, jumped up happily. Although they didn't understand what the trade channel was, they were still full of fighting spirit: "Yes, King!"
Warren nodded in encouragement, "Okay, today's class time is over."
Although it took the Slime Tribe a day and a night to reach the Demon King's Palace, for the cavalry squad with Magic Beast mounts, it only takes half a day to reach the Slime Tribe's territory. If they don't stay in the Slime Tribe's territory for long, they can even return to the Demon King's Palace on the same day.
...
...
This was one of the reasons why Warren decided to lead the team himself. He still had two more chances to use his card [Psychic Illusion], so even if he encountered a sneak attack from the demons, he would still have some resistance, so the safety issue was not serious.
"Besides, if we find new crops or magic cores, I have to be there." After returning to the bedroom of the Demon King's Palace, Warren knocked hard on the Demon King's crown. "To be honest, I haven't drawn a card in such a long time. Don't you plan to give me a hint or something?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the card system, which had always been unresponsive, actually beeped twice.
[Activation conditions detected: Do you want to activate the achievement task function?]
[Complete the achievement mission to obtain magic crystals and other rewards.]
Warren's eyes widened in surprise.
[Tip: Once the achievement task is drawn, it cannot be withdrawn. If it is not completed within the specified time, you will be punished and your card drawing luck will be -1.]
"You can control your luck in drawing cards?" Warren couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be some behind-the-scenes manipulation?"
[…It just lowers the probability of obtaining high-level cards.]
The card system responded stiffly, fearing that Warren would continue to question its fairness, it quickly retrieved a manual for the achievement task system and sent it to Warren in the form of a pop-up window.
[Please confirm whether to activate the achievement task function.]
Warren read it carefully and concluded, "So, when I reach the prerequisites for a certain achievement, I can draw the task corresponding to this achievement, and I can get the task reward after completing the task? What about the achievement reward?"
[Yes. There is no order or causal relationship between the completion of the task and the achievement. You can still receive the achievement reward after achieving the achievement.]
Warren blinked and pointed to a paragraph in the manual: "In the task column of each achievement, there is a hidden task that can obtain a large amount of rewards. There is no time limit for completing the hidden task. Even if you cannot draw the hidden task, after obtaining the achievement, if you meet the hidden task requirements, you can also claim the hidden task reward - why do I always feel that this model is a bit familiar?"
[The probability of extracting hidden tasks and the difficulty of completing them are relatively high, so the completion time limit is relatively loose.]
The card drawing system answered in a serious tone and urged again.
[Do you want to activate the achievement task function?]
Not finding any loopholes or traps in the manual, Warren simply nodded and distracted himself by wondering if he had come into contact with something similar in his lost memories.
The Demon King's Crown hanging on the top corner of his head moved without wind, emitting a light golden fluorescence. The translucent system chat box in front of him suddenly disappeared. Countless cards flew in from all directions, gathered and integrated, and finally sank into the chat box, forming a separate [Card Draw] interface. Another interface slowly emerged next to it, with the word [Achievement] written on the top of the interface, and in the middle was a simple animated picture of a matchstick man chopping down a tree with a chainsaw.
Warren's eyes lit up, but he didn't click in immediately. Instead, he stared at the picture and quickly wrote it down in his memo: "What kind of tool is this? It looks very convenient and can be used to cut firewood. Why can it rotate? Is it a magic effect?"
The system had already gotten used to its host's character of taking advantage of everything he saw, so it just pretended not to hear anything and went straight to activate the achievement system.
The page of the achievement system is more like the endless sky at night, with the achievements that have been lit up like stars scattered among them, namely [Reputation LV1], [Dark Cuisine], [One Free Follower], [New Crops] and [Educational and Entertaining].
Next to these lit achievements, there was a dim white star. Warren clicked on it and it displayed the words [Trade and Industry Benefits/Not Achieved].
The name sounds like it has something to do with business. Warren propped up his chin, thinking - it seems that his plan to trade bacon and flaming grapes with the slimes has unlocked the conditions for the new achievement.
He didn't rush to draw tasks. Instead, he tapped the Demon King's Crown with his fingers: "System, can I also draw tasks for the achievements I have already achieved?"
[You can draw, but there is a time limit for ordinary tasks, so please choose carefully.]
The system responded quickly.
Even though the task had a time limit, Warren still decided to try his luck. He thought about it and decided to start with the simple one, so he opened the achievement [Education through Fun], randomly selected one of the dozen task blind boxes, and opened it with great interest.
[Education through entertainment]
[Extracted: Ordinary Mission 03]
[Task content: Create a new story independently, and use it to change the lifestyle of the demons who heard the story.]
[Time remaining: 30 days]
[Mission Reward: Magic Crystal X6]
Warren rubbed his chin.
The story of "Aesop's Fables" has been almost finished, and he was thinking about writing some interesting new stories himself. The focus of this task should be on changing the lifestyle of the demons.
But he has already changed a lot of the magic soldiers' lifestyles - for example, teaching them to sit on chairs and eat with chopsticks - this time it's just a matter of combining it with the story, which is not difficult.
Thinking of this, he was full of confidence. When he saw the unopened task blind box, he always had the urge to open it immediately, so he simply opened another one.
[New Crops]
[Extracted: Ordinary Mission 01]
[Task content: Promote new crops and gain praise from the demons]
[time left--]
[Please wait, the system is recalculating——]
[It has been detected that the mission has been completed.]
[Obtain mission reward: Magic Crystal X3]
Warren was so excited that he almost jumped up after getting three magic crystals. He had a rough idea of the content of the two tasks. The so-called achievement tasks were basically centered around the achievement itself, so after thinking about it, he couldn't help but open another task blind box.
As soon as the box was opened, virtual fireworks exploded and the four big words "Hidden Mission" flashed brightly.
[Achievement: Dark Cuisine]
[Hidden Task: Make a dish with bizarre ingredients, strange colors, and a bizarre taste, and have it praised sincerely by at least ten tasters.]
[Task Reward: Magic Crystal X10, Key to Open Mysterious Card Pool X1]
Warren looked subtle.
Although the rewards are indeed generous, isn’t this hidden mission a bit too outrageous?
Considering that the achievement [Dark Cuisine] itself is quite annoying, and it is not possible to determine whether all hidden tasks are as strange as this, Warren closed the interface and, considering the difficulty of [Reputation Boost LV1] and [Free Follower], finally started to draw tasks for the new achievement.
[Trade and Industry Benefits/Not Achieved]
[Extracted: Ordinary Mission 07]
[Mission content: Reach trade agreements with at least three demon tribes.]
[Time remaining: 60 days]
[Mission Reward: Magic Crystal X3]
Sixty days was a relatively generous period of time. After reading the mission requirements, Warren felt relieved. He turned to look out the window and saw the blood moon already rising to the middle of the sky. Thinking of his schedule for tomorrow, he decided not to delay any longer and turned off the system and went to bed.
The next day, he left the military camp with more than two hundred demon soldiers and the slime tribe.
The food that the slimes brought to the Demon Palace was returned by the Demon King intact. It was now packed in a large basket woven with vines and placed on the back of the Demon beast's mount together with the lunch of the demon soldiers.
All the slimes without their magical beast mounts turned back into mud, huddled around the magic soldiers, and were led forward quickly by the cavalry.
This was the first time that Warren saw the slime form. He was surprised to find that the slime was not gray as he had imagined before, but a translucent soft mud similar to ** crystal. Each slime had a different color and could be spread flat or arched into a ball shape and sway, and was very elastic.
For some reason, he suddenly felt itchy.
Trying hard to erase the strange thought in his mind of 'rubbing the slime chief to see if it can be made into silk', Warren coughed lightly and said, "Let's go."
The slimes, who always felt that there were demons coveting them, were so scared that they dared not move. Dozens of lumps of mud huddled together, making "puff" and "puff" sounds as the monsters ran.
Warren: “…”
Help, I want to pinch you even more.
The author has something to say:
-
Warren: I can't help but want to open all the blind boxes when I see them. Everyone can understand this (helpless hands spread.GIF)
-
The card drawing system is finally complete! The next system upgrade is estimated to be after the 100th chapter. Now that the card drawing and blind box are all collected, do you want to guess what functions will be added in the next upgrade?
In order to avoid a whole chapter of settings, I kept the task blind box section relatively brief. I don’t know if you understand it (scratching my head). The general meaning is that the system is currently divided into two sections: blind box tasks and card draws. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it. I will slowly expand on it later and improve the settings bit by bit! Go for it!
