◎Emperor Egg and Hidden Mission◎
[Achievement: The birth of a new life]
[Evaluation: The cubs in the Demon King's Palace regard you as their protector.]
[Achievement Gift Pack: Magic Crystals X5, Card X1]
[Additional comment: The system wishes you a happy egg hatching.]
As the settlement of the Dark Iron Dwarves needed to be rebuilt, Warren carried the egg back to the Demon King's Palace and brought back a small flame to keep the egg warm.
There was no other way. The demon soldier Jesse had never raised cubs and didn't know how to hatch eggs. If he handed it over to other demons, it would delay their normal work. So Warren simply did it himself. He would put the eggs back into the hatchery after the hatchery was built and send a special demon to manage it.
Before he entered the hall, he heard the system prompt and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Since last month, around the time when the two liches who came to find Tok joined the Demon King's Palace, the system suddenly closed the chat box, shrunk into the Demon King's Crown, and did not respond to any of Warren's questions. Warren had originally wanted to draw the achievement task of [Renxian Reform], but had to put it on hold because of this.
"You are finally willing to talk," he poked the Demon King's Crown, "Are you okay? What happened before?"
...
...
[……]
The system was silent for a moment.
[The main system upgrade program is undergoing a one-month self-inspection, and the inspection has now been completed.]
This excuse was a bit too lame. Warren twitched his lips and didn't ask any more questions.
During the month when the system was offline, he was not without gain. At least he confirmed that the cards he had drawn could be used normally without the involvement of the system, which gave him a great sense of security.
After confirming that he had received the achievement, he looked at the card that came with it.
The card flew out from the translucent system interface and landed in his palm, transforming into a solid object emitting a white halo.
[100 kinds of educational toys illustrated
Quality R
Type Information Card
Use this card to obtain the production methods of 100 educational toys
Card introduction: The cubs must be educated from an early age! ]
Activate the card, and a variety of toys will appear on the card screen, including Rubik's Cube, building blocks, jigsaw puzzles, Huarongdao, bubble machines, and even remote-controlled airplanes and clockwork dolls. Warren can understand how to make some of them at a glance, but for others, he can't even understand the instructions, so he can only put them aside and study them carefully when he has time.
He chuckled and touched the round eggshell of the egg cub: "Thanks to you, your brothers and sisters have toys. Break out of the shell quickly so that you can play with them."
The egg cub seemed to understand. The light blue eggshell shook slightly and gently hit Warren's palm.
Warren didn't rush to make toys. Instead, he tapped the Demon King's Crown and called up the card interface again: "System, I want to draw another achievement task."
He still had several achievement tasks to draw, and the hidden task of [Dark Cuisine] had not been completed. Fortunately, there was no time limit for the hidden task, so he was not in a hurry and planned to complete the tasks step by step.
Considering the difficulty of [Reform by Renxian] and the fact that the achievement he just got [The Birth of New Life] might be related to the egg cub, he would be dumbfounded if he drew a task requiring the egg cub to learn addition and subtraction within ten. Warren decided to draw the achievement [Follower's Bonus] that he had put aside before.
Opening the achievement task extraction system, more than a dozen gift packs were lined up. Warren held up the egg cub and said, "Cub, you pick it! Pick the one you see!"
Perhaps because he felt that he was being lifted up in the air, Danzai swayed happily.
Following the shaking of the egg, Warren decisively chose the third gift package from the right, opened it, and was startled by the bang of the virtual fireworks.
[Hidden Mission] Four big words slowly emerged.
"Wow," Warren said excitedly, "Dan Zai, you are just like me, a lucky guy!"
[……]
The system paused for a moment, as if it wanted to complain about him, but it was not known whether it was too lazy to chat or could not think of anything to complain about, in the end it said nothing and directly popped up the interface for the hidden task.
[Achievement: Add one to your follower]
[Hidden Mission: Subdue a powerful demon that may kill you at any time.]
[Task Reward: Magic Crystal X10, Key to Open Mysterious Card Pool X1]
Warren read it carefully and couldn't help but poke the system: "I have completed this task, right? Please, with my current strength, you can find any demon in the Demon King's Palace to kill me."
[Test completed: Mission not completed.]
The system said coldly.
[This mission requires the following conditions: a powerful demon who has thought about killing the host.]
Warren didn't understand: "What about those liches before? How could they not have thought of killing me before knowing that Tok was fine?"
[The liches have no intention of killing you - they don't think they can do it.]
"All right."
Warren had no choice but to close the task interface without thinking too much about it.
Anyway, he still has the buff of Rebellion X3, and there must be many demons who want to kill him. There will be plenty of opportunities to complete this hidden task in the future.
Thinking of this, he carefully placed the egg into a nest covered with cotton, and prepared to call a skillful Dark Iron Dwarf to help him make toys.
…
A Dark Iron dwarf jumped onto the rocks beside the lava lake.
The demons who had just finished lunch looked on curiously: "What happened?"
Seeing that there were more and more demons in front of him, the Dark Iron Dwarf finally spoke.
"This morning, our Demon King's Palace had its first egg. Because the incubation room has not been built yet, the king plans to place the egg in the place where our Dark Iron Dwarves previously incubated eggs."
This was a great joyous event for the entire Demon King’s Palace. Almost all the demons knew about it. They nodded happily: “Yes, we finally have a new cub!”
The Dark Iron Dwarf gushed, "When the king walked into the forge, all the magical flames jumped to greet him. The flames were reflected on his noble and elegant silver-white hair, mysterious and -"
"Get to the point!" Tiechui interrupted him with a headache.
The tail, which looked like a hammer, was pointed downward. The Dark Iron Dwarf said aggrievedly, “Oh.”
Under Tiechui's glare, he reluctantly skipped a long paragraph of flattery: "In short, the king feels that the living environment of the Dark Iron Dwarves is too poor, and wants us to rebuild the place where we live."
The demons tilted their heads, not understanding why this matter was worth the Dark Iron Dwarves telling everyone: "Isn't this good?"
Barlow, the goblin who had been invited to the forge, nodded in agreement: "It's time to rebuild. Your residence is not even as big as the goblin stone house!"
"The point is," the Dark Iron Dwarf waved his hands vigorously, signaling everyone to listen to him, "We were already planning the reconstruction of the forge, but suddenly I remembered that the Demon King's Palace has not been rebuilt yet!"
The demons gasped.
"Oh yeah, the Demon King's Palace is still the same as before! So dark and eerie, and stuffy!"
"It must be rebuilt. The best king deserves to live in the best palace!"
Winged Demon Feiwu immediately stood up to express his support: "I also think that the king's residence should be the most magnificent. Now the hall of the Demon King's Palace doesn't even have a window! Our king can't even get sunlight every day!"
"We never thought of this before," the goblin Xili said with tears in his eyes, "The king is so kind that he made our place beautiful, but he himself lives in a dark house!"
The demons talked about it a lot, and all said that they could help the construction team build a house in their spare time, demolish the current Demon King's Palace, and build a tall and magnificent palace for the king to live in.
The Dark Iron Dwarf took out a blackboard from behind him, on which were seven or eight designs drawn: "Look, this is the style of the Demon King's Palace that the clan leader designed with us."
"Let's brainstorm and see if we can improve some things," Tiechui added, "We need to build the best Demon King's Palace!"
All the demons gathered around enthusiastically. Many of them were still eating, stuffing the remaining food into their mouths and hurried over to complete the design of the Demon King's Palace.
The familiar butler Lille spoke first: "I think the king's golden throne can also be rebuilt. The current one is not elegant at all and does not reflect the king's temperament at all."
The demons nodded in agreement.
"Also, we can put a statue of the king in front of the palace!" Nightmare Munit raised his hand actively, "Our pottery manufacturing team will do it, and we guarantee it will be tall and big!"
The Dark Iron Dwarf imagined: the king's statue was placed right in front of the Demon King's Palace, and every demon passing by could see the king's majestic figure.
"This is good," he said happily, quickly drawing a statue on the design. "Anything else?"
"Our weaving team can weave a colorful flag and hang it on the top of the Demon King's Palace," said another demon, "and write the words 'Great King is Mighty' on it - but I don't know how to write the magic words for mighty. Do any of you know how to do it?"
Feiwu: "I can! Just leave it to me!"
The demon soldier Alex jumped up excitedly: "I have an idea too! Let's cover the floor of the Demon King's Palace with animal skin rugs. This way it will be warm and soft, and we don't need to wear boots!"
The demons added to the discussion one after another. Some said they wanted to build a small restaurant in the Demon King's palace, some said they wanted to build an observation tower for the king to enjoy the view, and some even said they wanted to build three bedrooms for the king to sleep in alternately.
"You don't understand. The king will definitely like it." The suggestion was rejected. The magic soldier Polly put his hands on his hips angrily, "This is a story told by the king. A cunning rabbit has three burrows!"
…
Warren was concentrating on studying the manufacturing schematics of a remote-controlled aircraft. When he heard a knock on the door, he said, "Come in," without even raising his head.
The Dark Iron Dwarf Tiechui walked in, his eyes sparkling, holding a small blackboard with a design drawn on it in his hands.
"My lord," he said, "would you mind looking at the blueprints of the Devil's Palace?"
Warren raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at Tiechui.
When did he say he wanted to rebuild the Demon King's Palace?
Tiechui felt a little guilty because this matter was indeed his own decision, but he still did not move and stood there stubbornly.
He can be scolded, but the Demon King's Palace must be rebuilt! We can't let the king wrong himself like this!
Warren shook his head helplessly. Knowing that Tiechui meant well, he did not blame him and leaned over to take the small blackboard.
The Demon King's Palace designed by the demons is still a palace-style building with stone as the main body, and wooden beams, windows and magic patterns as decoration. Both its scale and interior space are several times larger than the current Demon King's Palace, and the overall appearance is exquisite and generous.
——If you don’t count the six-meter-high statue in front of the palace, the “Great King” banners that can be seen everywhere, the animal skins that for some reason cover the entire Demon King’s Palace, and the lava fountain that can be used for bathing.
Warren hesitated, not knowing how to comment for a moment: "…What are these fancy things?"
"Ah," Tiechui slapped his head in annoyance, "I knew I shouldn't have listened to Polly. Don't worry, my king, I will immediately change the remaining two bedrooms and only keep one bedroom!"
Warren: “?”
So there were originally three bedrooms planned?

Oh my god, my fever is back to 39 degrees...
If there is no update tomorrow, it means I have gone to the hospital QAQ I will definitely make up for the updates I owe in the future!
