MTL - Number One Player-Chapter 2 The devil with a hot conscience

After fumbling for a while, Shang Yinhe roughly understood the logic of the game.

As the narrator mentioned at the beginning, his current identity is a demon king with a "tall castle". Different monsters will appear in front of the bulletin board in front of the castle. If the room decoration and rent amount meet their requirements, they will move in and become the demon king's subordinates.

Each monster has its own race, attributes, occupation and gender. Take Iida, the first Poo Chicken, as an example. Its race is the Poo Chicken family, and its occupation is a news feeder. The attack has only a pitiful 3 points, the magic defense has 2 points, and the physical defense is 2 points. It is directly 0, not even "scumbags with a combat power of 5", and the attributes are terrible.

To conquer the world with such a monster?

It can only be said that if the main quest is this, then the customs clearance is really a bit difficult...

However, the game doesn't seem to be so pitiful. Soon, His Royal Highness the Demon King in the sackcloth cloak welcomed his second subordinate.

A water elf with flowers on its head.

The race is the elf race, and the occupation is working late at night in the convenience store. The attack power is 18 points, which is six times higher than that of the chick. However, the physical defense and magic defense are pitiful zeros.

What's even more bizarre is that she actually has gender, which is ♀ sex.

Why does this game also set the gender of the monster? Could it be that monsters can still fall in love?

—Don’t say it, maybe it really does.

The monsters living in the room will pay rent regularly, and the money can be used to buy room decorations, such as various fitness supplies, various decorative supplies, various medical supplies, to enhance the monster's attributes, mood, or have other magical effect.

Shang Yinhe found a purchasable item called "Love Balloon" in the room decoration.

[Love Balloon: Bachelor's Buster! Let this balloon fly, and you don't have to worry about being single from now on! (Note: Disposable items - is it possible that you still want to pedal two boats? Huaxin has no future!)]

Not only can they fall in love, maybe the monsters can have children.

[Zosheng Takako Mantou: "I don't have a child yet?" "When are you going to have a child?" After eating him, you can get rid of the trouble of infertility~! (Note: Disposables - Want a second baby? Just buy another one~)]

Shang Yinhe closed the purchase interface with black lines all over his head.

In this world, the flow of time is very, very fast, and Shang Yinhe felt that he had only run up and down the stairs a few times, and it was getting dark.

The chick and the water elf each obediently paid their daily rent: 15 yuan.

Now the Demon King has 1030 yuan.

- It still sounds poor...

—You know, a steamed bun for an early-born baby costs 1,000 yuan...

Shang Yinhe looked at the tattered sackcloth cloak on his body and the tattered and unfinished buildings in front of him, and deeply felt an aura of poverty.

Obviously, this game world is a simulation management game with a special theme. The general business simulation game is to open a bakery, a weapon shop, a hot spring shop, or a school, a shopping mall, or a football field, but this game is to open a devil's castle, which is specially used to raise monsters.

All simulation business games have a relatively similar strategy, which is nothing more than saving money, saving money, saving money.

You know, money, or various money substitutes, is always the first element of a simulation business game.

Therefore, making money is also the first priority for the poor Demon Lord.

He researched for a while and found that the rent could be adjusted.

The current rent is 15 yuan. After thinking about it for a while, Shang Yinhe adjusted it to the current maximum allowable rent limit: 30 yuan.

In an instant, the chick Iida, who was still obediently staying in the house, rushed over crying and chirping, jumping and moving forward quickly, while shouting in a crying voice: "Lord Demon King, be merciful! Iida I can't pay the rent! Iida is going to die!"

Shang Yinhe: "…"

Pooh chick Iida kept spinning around him, whimpering and crying while spinning, and the tears were exaggerated like a waterfall.

A two-headed yellow chick makes such a move...

Not only did Shang Yinhe not feel heartache, but instead he felt... cute?

With such a delicate mood, Shang Yinhe adjusted the rent to... 29 yuan.

Iida's crying stopped for a while, and then it became louder in an instant.

Shang Yinhe raised his face and said solemnly, "This is the minimum rent."

Resolute and merciless.

Iida cried a lot for a while, and saw that the Demon King had a stern face and did not give in at all, and then went back to the room choked up, muttering as he walked, "Iida can't pay the rent, Yiyi. Da is going to die..."

Shang Yinhe touched his conscience.

Well, the conscience is hot and hot, and there is a big conscience.

So he reached out his hand happily and adjusted the rent of the water spirit to 29 yuan.

Water Elf's job is to "work late at night in a convenience store". At this moment, she is probably working and is not in the room, so she cannot raise any objection to the operation of the Demon King.

The Demon King actually has a subtle dissatisfaction.

The water elf with flowers on her head looks cute too, I really want to see her crying...

Why was she not in the room at night and went to work?

Her job is still "working late at night in a convenience store". Is there really a convenience store in this game world?

I have to say that in this cartoon-like world, with living creatures that cry and laugh by my side, I feel much happier.

It was late at night, and the demon king with a hot and blood-red conscience returned to his tent on the second floor.

Because the time in this world flies so fast, he is not sleepy at all. He estimated that in this world, only two or three hours have passed.

In an instant, he had new worries: if he was sleepy, where would he sleep?

Do you want to live in the downstairs room?

Think of the tattered wallpaper, tattered refrigerator, tattered sink and tattered bed in the room downstairs…

The Demon King made up his mind to make money quickly!

He firmly reached out and adjusted the rent of the two houses to 30 yuan.

Pooh chick Iida should have fallen asleep (or simply disappointed with the cold-hearted Demon Lord?), and didn't make a move on all this.

The Demon King is still a little disappointed.

At night, the system automatically archived and identified it as "Archive 1".

The next day, Iida the Poo-Chick left the room sniffling and went to work.

The Demon King welcomes new residents: a skeleton and a werewolf.

In this two-dimensional cute anime-style world, skeletons and werewolves are not scary at all.

There is a huge bow on the skull of the second body. According to the data, her gender is ♀ and her occupation is "trainee bonemaker".

This profession looks very delicate, but I wonder if she will scare a heart attack first when she is framing others' bones?

The second werewolf was wearing blue overalls and a small yellow hat, with a big tail swaying behind him. He was obviously a cute two-headed man, but he actually gave him the feeling of a little ruffian. The data shows that his gender is ♂ and his occupation is "trainee athlete".

There are currently only four rooms in the castle. Just as the werewolf in overalls moved into the fourth and last room on the first floor, the voice of the narrator jumped out again:

"The Demon King's castle is full of subordinates, and the trial of the apprentice Demon King is about to begin!"

As the voice of the narrator fell, the blank book in the tent suddenly appeared in Shang Yinhe's hands, startling him.

A standard six-pointed star appeared on the cover of the book, and it is still shining. In this world of two-dimensional simple strokes, it still shows a bit of strangeness and mystery.

Shang Yinhe opened the book, and pictures and words appeared on the blank pages.

The first page is his profile. On this page, most of the page is occupied by his full-length photo. In the photo, he is drawn as a two-headed little man with long hair, big eyes, and a tattered sackcloth cloak. It's so cute.

Shang Yinhe never knew that he could also look so cute. He poked at the little man on the painting with interest, but the little man actually hid and made a huge grimace at him.

Below the photo is a series of data.

[Current points: 0]

[Player's current level: LV1]

[Player's current experience: 0/150]

[Current Money: 1030]

[Number of monsters staying: 4]

[Number of dead monsters: 0]

[Number of monsters born: 0]

[Number of downed adventurers: 0]

…

Shang Yinhe read it roughly, and the data is quite detailed, showing all aspects that this game world can involve. However, at present, most of the data are displayed as 0.

He swiped and turned the book to the next page.

The title of the second page reads the game achievements, and all the achievements that Shang Yinhe had seen in the tent before are written on the page one by one, which looks densely packed.

Shang Yinhe was not interested in what he had already researched for the time being, so he turned another page.

There is something new on this page.

Right at the top of the page is the title: "Game Missions"

There is currently only one quest on this page: "Apprentice to the Demon King's Trial".

[Apprentice Demon King's Trial (Ongoing)] [Type: Main Quest] [Difficulty: Sporadic]

[Description: As a Demon Lord, sooner or later you will have to get used to a steady stream of adventurers. Now, come and defeat the original adventurer squad and start your first step in conquering the world! ]

?—Looking at this description, an adventurer will soon attack his castle?

—By the way, under the influence of the narrator, Shang Yinhe is now used to calling this dilapidated building his "castle".

- After all, after looking at it for a long time, this thing that looks like an unfinished building is still barely called "tower".

— Um, really?

- Shang Yinhe patted his conscience and said: Really!
