Chapter 26 The Demon King's Shop Opens
Luo Yan felt that he was a person with a conscience, except that he behaved like a bad person occasionally.
To be honest, hell has been pretty good to him. In the past eighteen years, he has felt more kindness than grievances.
Although he could not be said to be very loyal to His Majesty the Demon God, he still felt a little distressed when he saw that His Majesty the Demon God's people were living such a miserable life outside.
Especially in Sarah, he saw himself in another situation.
As much kindness as he felt in hell, this little guy felt just as much evil on the surface.
Today is almost over anyway.
In these last few hours, it is better to be a human being.
Just as the Demon King was covering the kitten he picked up with a blanket, in the cave on the other side, the players who had been working under the Demon King for the whole day were also preparing to log off.
Facing the eerie and dark mine, the Pig-Headed Knight suddenly spoke in surprise as if he had discovered a new world.
"Everyone! I don't know if you noticed... this game doesn't strain your eyes at all!"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu gave him a strange look.
“Is that weird?”
The Pig-Headed Knight said excitedly.
"Of course! Don't you think it's amazing?!"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "It's okay... After all, you close your eyes when you start the game, right?"
The Pig-Headed Knight was stunned for a moment.
"Ah? Is this true?"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Guessed."
Pig-headed Knight: “…”
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Speaking of which, this game is indeed a bit weird. Although it is very hard to play, the impact on real life is not as big as imagined."
He had been working intensively online for more than ten hours, and only went offline to have a meal in the middle, but he didn't feel tired at all.
This further confirmed his conjecture that the game development team must have mastered some epoch-making technology.
for example……
Control people's dreams.
Every time he thought of this, Yiye Zhiqiu couldn't help but get excited.
Not only because he sees the broad commercial prospects behind this game, but also because he will witness the birth of an epoch-making technology and witness with his own eyes the series of changes it will bring and the possibilities behind it! Maybe people don’t have to wait until the next century before they can go to work in their dreams and leave their waking time for themselves.
It’s quite beautiful when you think about it.
Candied Haws: "It's OK if it doesn't have any impact."
Kebab: "Don't you guys have to go to work?!"
Hu Wan: "Don't copy him, this guy is probably a professional player."
Yiye Zhiqiu glanced at the taciturn man.
It’s okay to play professionally.
A real pro here, right?
He is not a professional player, just an individual player who plays a lot of games.
He finished his speech: "...Speaking of which, I suddenly became curious, what would happen if I were online 24 hours a day?"
Xiao Wan was not full: "I will wake up hungry! I tried it."
Kebab: "Even if I don't wake up hungry, my body won't be able to hold on, right?!"
Brother Yikou showed a somewhat regretful expression.
"Hey, what do you think? If I can hold on... will I be able to travel directly to the game world?"
Everyone was silent for a while, and turned their subtle gazes to this guy with a novel way of thinking.
Pig-Headed Knight: "I can accept being a succubus, but I'd rather not be a skeleton soldier."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Isn't the ID the key? It's okay for games, but if you travel to the game world with this name... you will have no friends."
Looking at the old man who was about to break down, Hu Wan coughed lightly and patted him on the shoulder.
"…You should go get some sleep."
Watching the unappetizing ID walk towards the corner, Yiye Zhiqiu and Hu Wan said goodbye and prepared to log off.
Seeing that the King of Papers in front of him was actually preparing to take a rest, Knowledge Explosion couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Why didn't you continue to kill monsters?"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Why are you still grinding when you have already reached the maximum level?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Tauren Warrior: "What the hell? You've already reached the maximum level, you bastard!?"
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "It's just LV3, don't make me sound like I'm level 100... By the way, I'm looking for the Demon King, have you seen him?"
Pig-Headed Knight: "I didn't see it... Why don't you try attacking that statue? Last time I touched it, it appeared."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Go away, go and cheat the newbies, stop cheating me."
…
The other side.
Gou Shi, who was wandering around the Demon King's territory, met another strange man after Brother Yikou.
In the corner of the mine, a skeleton soldier was fiddling with wooden boards that had been taken down from somewhere. He pasted mud mixed with ratmen's entrails on them to make square-shaped gardens.
However, that thing obviously didn't look like it was used to grow flowers and plants, at least he had never seen that kind of planting method before.
Out of curiosity, he leaned over and asked.
"Dude, what are you doing?"
The skull raised its head, and a unique ID appeared next to it.
【Table and stool】
Gou Shi almost spit out what he was saying.
Table Stool: "Growing mushrooms, what's up?"
"mushroom?"
Gou Shi was stunned for a moment, then he took a closer look and saw some tiny mushrooms on the rat man's body.
These mushrooms mainly grow on their abdomen, especially where there are wounds.
So amazing!
Is it a fictional strain in the game world? ! However...
“…Is this any use?”
"I don't know." The table and stool shook their heads and said as a matter of course.
Gou Shi couldn't help but complain.
"Then why do you keep it?"
Hearing this nonsense, the table and stool looked at him strangely and asked back.
"Then why do you play games?"
Gou Shi looked at him in amazement, speechless for a moment, unable to utter a word of rebuttal.
That makes sense!
He was convinced.
"...Dude, add me as your friend. I think you are a talented person. Let's keep in touch!"
"casual."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
He nodded his agreement casually, and stopped looking at him, continuing to stare at his mushroom garden intently.
"Just don't bother me."
…
The next morning, Luo Yan got up early and wanted to simply make some lava-warmed eggs. Unfortunately, there were no firebird eggs or lava here, so he had to give up.
It’s better to eat bread.
After a simple meal, Luo Yan went to the well in the backyard of the hotel to fetch some water to wash up, and then took the time to take a look at the little wild cat he picked up last night.
Sarah was sleeping soundly, curled up in the quilt, and her even snoring sound was exactly the same as that of a cat.
However, Luo Yan could feel that she was not sleeping very deeply and might wake up at the slightest movement.
Perhaps because of the footsteps heard at the door, the snoring gradually stopped, and then the closed eyelids opened a tiny gap, revealing an amber pupil.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
Sarah, who was still sleepy the previous second, immediately sat up on the bed with full energy the next second.
"Skewer! Rat! Tail!"
"We'll talk about that tonight," Luo Yan threw the bread into her hand, "Let's eat something light in the morning."
"bread!"
Smelling the mouth-watering wheat aroma, Sarah's eyes sparkled. She took a bite and almost swallowed her index finger.
Looking at the way he was eating voraciously, Luo Yan, who had just eaten, felt a little hungry again. So he stopped looking at this guy and picked up the wooden board removed from the next room and started writing and drawing on it with the magic crystal pen.
Yesterday's daily activity data was quite good, so it looks like there should be no problem completing the tasks of the natural disaster system.
After the mission is completed, a large number of new players will enter. In order to prevent them from running around like headless flies, he has to make some simple signs and insert them in the mine to tell them where they can go and where they cannot go.
In addition, there are some people who are directionally challenged and cannot find their way home, and this problem also needs to be solved.
As for the last board, it was for Sarah.
After finally finishing the bread in her hand, Sarah licked her fingers with satisfaction. At this time, she finally noticed what Luo Yan was doing, so she came over curiously.
"What's this?"
The furry ears made Luo Yan's nose itchy, so he reached out and pushed her away a little, holding up the board in his hand and said.
"Today is the day that the Demon King's store opens. I plan to write a sign myself."
"A small shop? A sign?"
Although he didn't understand what these two words meant, his two ears had already stood up curiously.
"To put it simply, it's a place like a store. You promised to work for me last night... don't you remember?"
Sarah looked at him blankly. She felt that this was not the case, but she also vaguely seemed to have heard it.
"What do you need Sarah for?"
Luo Yan said in a casual tone.
"It's very simple. My servant comes to buy something from you. Just give it to him. I will teach you the details later."
Things like settling accounts can be done by Youyou by adding "rules of the game".
Simply put, if the player's balance is sufficient, the [Transaction Successful] option will pop up in front of him.
On the contrary, if the player’s balance is insufficient and he still forces the transaction after seeing the pop-up prompt box, it will result in “excommunication by the Demon Lord”.
Although she is a shop clerk, Sarah doesn't actually have to work at the cashier. She only needs to do the storage.
In response to the players' dirty talk, she would just reply with a "meow" if she was happy, and ignore them if she was unhappy.
That's what those guys like anyway.
"Leave it to me!" It sounded like it was fun, and Sarah nodded enthusiastically, "Sarah, it can work!"
"Well! Work hard and you'll get paid!"
Luo Yan patted her shoulder with a smile, then handed the written wooden board to her.
The wooden sign said "No feeding allowed", but Sarah couldn't understand it because it was in Chinese characters.
After doing these things, Luo Yan took Sarah to the mine, intending to introduce her to the players.
However, the moment he stepped into the Demon King's territory, a skeleton soldier knelt on one knee respectfully on the ground.
"Respected Demon King, I am your most loyal servant Yi Ye Zhi Qiu."
"My contribution value has reached 1,000, which should be enough to prove my loyalty—"
This guy has a high emotional intelligence.
But Luo Yan, who still had things to do, didn't want to waste time listening to his beating around the bush.
"Upgrade, right? OK."
After saying that, he stretched out his magic wand and pretended to tap the skeleton soldier's forehead with it, while silently calling out to a certain sticky candy in his heart.
"Youyou, I leave it to you."
"Oh! Got it!"
A dark green light flashed and hit the skeleton soldier's head with incredible precision.
It feels amazing.
It's like the soul has been sublimated and the barren desert has been nourished by sweet springs... In a word, it can be described in one word: it's awesome.
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu savored it carefully for a long time. When he came to his senses and was about to express his gratitude for the promotion, he found that the Demon King was gone.
"……?"
Good job.
Was this skipped by the NPC? (End of this chapter)
