Demons Beside You-Chapter 565 - Unspeakable Gains

“Which means it’s pretty much useless for me?”

“Yes,” Beelzebub Zofee said. “I used a lucky coin two thousand years ago.”

“What happened then? What did you gain?”

“I trampled a plague rat which had been stealing my treasures. Before that, I hadn’t managed to catch the rat. That time, I was about as strong as you are right now.”

Chen Zhao was speechless. Lucky coins seemed to be totally useless to him.

Never mind. It’s a magic item, after all. Let’s keep it.

Carlo and Nebaur stared at Chen Zhao.

They regretted even more.

Chen Zhao clearly had an extraordinary relationship with the demon lord.

The demon lord even gave him such precious items as a gift.

Ordinary beings couldn’t even imagine them.

By then, Carlo also understood why Chen Zhao was uninterested in the things in that ancient ruin.

If Chen Zhao really wanted something, he could just come to Hell. What could he not get?

Just then, Orris came towards them from inside.

“Human, we’ve prepared a feast for you. Quick, follow me.”

“Don’t tell me it’s things like evil spirit soup, human-bone dish, or human-skin stew again?”

“Don’t worry. Not this time. I know you don’t like them.”

When Orris prepared a meal for Chen Zhao last time, he was almost disgusted to death.

Chen Zhao even suspected that Orris had done it on purpose.

Anyway, the meal this time was not half bad.

Nebaur had been following Chen Zhao. As Chen Zhao ate, he turned his head and asked, “You want some?”

“Err… Can I?”

“He’s just a petty spirit. All the dishes here contain demonic power. Take one bite and he’ll be gone forever,” Beelzebub Zofee warned.

Helpless, Chen Zhao patted Nebaur’s shoulder, “Don’t be sad. You won’t die if you don’t eat them… Oh wait, you’re already dead.”

Chen Zhao spent 24 hours in Obsidian Castle. He went to a few places that he had not been to.

While it was not his first time here, the castle was huge. There were indeed many places he had yet to visit.

Of course, some places were rather anti-human.

For example, there was a torment oven. Souls that had fallen to Hell for deception would be tossed into the oven and cooked with Hellwater. In the end, they would be refined into the Breath of the Bewitcher.

Chen Zhao had no clue what that was, but he felt that surely it couldn’t be a good thing, given that it was extracted from deceitful souls.

After 24 hours, Chen Zhao returned to the human world.

He had left the nautical dairy in Hell for Carlo to translate.

After all, there was so much content. It wasn’t something that could be translated in a day or two.

As soon as Chen Zhao returned home, he went into the space crevice.

He also brought Nebaur in.

“Chen Zhao, why did you bring a soul in here?” Blackie stared at Nebaur.

Nebaur peed his pants at once. The Grim Reaper!

Chen Zhao really had a wide social circle. Demons, and now even the Grim Reaper.

“I’m thinking about whether your skeleton army should get armed. You know, guns.”

Chen Zhao had suggested this idea to Blackie before. The skeleton soldiers were all revived with necromantic spells.

Individually, they might even be weaker than a human adult, although they looked frightening with their large numbers.

However, if the skeleton soldiers were armed with modern weapons, it would be a completely different story.

Just think about it: a skeleton army armed to the teeth.

An army which did not know fear or retreat.

It would be so cool.

“Do you have that much money?” Blackie asked.

“Uh… This is a problem.” Chen Zhao gave it some thought. “I’ve brought back many things from Hell. Take a look. Help me see if there’s anything valuable that can be sold here.”

Chen Zhao took out many boxes of various sizes. There were more than a hundred of them.

“You come and help me too. See if I can sell any of these.”

Most of the boxes had raw materials in them.

Beelzebub Zofee also knew that Chen Zhao had to create various potions, so he gave him mostly materials.

“Mountain demon’s beard. Perhaps some rich guys will love this.”

“This is still moving. It’s obviously abnormal. Which rich guy will love this kind of obviously evil stuff?”

“What about this? Lurker’s eyeball. It even glows red in the dark.”

“If someone places this in their room, I’m sure they’ll be scared to death someday.”

“Master, this is definitely okay. You can get a lot of money,” Nebaur said, pointing at a box of gems.

“Oh, they’re demonic diamonds, very similar to diamonds in the human world. And they’re of high quality. You can sell this,” Blackie confirmed.

“F**k? Have you seen a thousand-carat diamond? If I go and sell this, people will think it’s a synthetic diamond.”

Chen Zhao covered his forehead. Indeed, nothing here could be shown to other people.

“Master, you can cut a demonic diamond into small pieces and then sell them,” Nebaur suggested.

“No,” Blackie said. “Once you destroy a demonic diamond, it’ll release a ton of curses.”

“Forget it. Let’s earn money properly.”

“Master, let me plan for you. You’ll soon become the king of arms of America.”

“Scram.” Chen Zhao widened his eyes at Nebaur.

If he was caught as an illegal doctor, he could easily get away by paying taxes and spending some money to prove that it was his first offense.

However, if he was caught here as a foreign arms dealer, he would be jailed for life.

Moreover, Chen Zhao did not want to be involved in such things.

Even in America, where gun ownership was legal, arms trafficking was a severe crime.

If he killed a person, he could clean it up properly and hide everything.

However, arms trafficking involved deals with people. There was no way he could remove all evidence.

Chen Zhao did not plan to do such a dangerous thing.

He was satisfied with the income he had now.

Of course, if he could become rich safely, he would not reject it.

Chen Zhao left Nebaur in the crevice. Nebaur would be Blackie’s temporary assistant.

Meanwhile, he could help Chen Zhao to manage the items.

By the time Chen Zhao came out, it was already four in the morning.

He did not go back to the bedroom. Instead, he slept in the living room.

The next day, Fali woke Chen Zhao up. She looked at Chen Zhao, somewhat displeased.

“Why didn’t you come into the room?” Fali knew that Chen Zhao did not want to disturb her.

Nevertheless, the more caring Chen Zhao was, the more uncomfortable she felt.

Chen Zhao pulled Fali over and kissed her straight. His hands also started moving on Fali’s body.

“I’m about to go to work.”

“Take this.”

“A coin?”

“You must keep the coin on you at all times.” Chen Zhao looked at Fali with a serious face.

“What does it do?”

“Block death for you a single time.”
