Demon Lord Territory Convenience Store Opens

Leon felt that he should be considered a person with a conscience, just occasionally not acting like one.

Putting his hand on his conscience, Hell had treated him pretty well. The kindness he had felt over the past eighteen years was more than the grievances he had suffered.

Although he couldn't exactly say he was loyal to the Demon God, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the Demon God's people living such miserable lives outside.

Especially from Sarah, he saw another version of himself in a different situation.

He had felt so much kindness in Hell, while this little one had felt so much malice on the surface.

Anyway, the day was almost over.

He might as well act like a person for these last few hours.

Just as Lord Demon Lord was tucking the stray cat he had picked up into bed, in a cave on the other side, the players who had been grinding in the Demon Lord Territory all day were also preparing to log off.

Facing the gloomy and dark mine, the Boar-Headed Knight suddenly spoke with surprise, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Everyone! I don't know if you've noticed... this game doesn't strain the eyes at all!"

One Leaf Knows Autumn gave him a strange look.

"Is that so strange?"

The Boar-Headed Knight said excitedly.

"Of course! Don't you think it's amazing?!"

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "It's alright... after all, you're closing your eyes after starting the game, right?"

The Boar-Headed Knight was stunned for a moment.

"Ah? Really?"

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "Guessing."

The Boar-Headed Knight: "..."

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "Speaking of which, this game is indeed a bit strange. Although it's actually very grindy to play, it doesn't have as much impact on real life as I imagined."

He had been online for more than ten hours with high intensity, only logging off to eat a meal in between, but he didn't feel tired at all.

This further confirmed his guess that the game development team must have mastered some epoch-making technology.

For example...

Controlling people's dreams.

Every time he thought of this, One Leaf Knows Autumn couldn't help but get excited.

Not only because he saw the broad commercial prospects behind this game, but also because he would witness the birth of an epoch-making technology, and personally witness the series of changes it would bring and the possibilities it contained! Maybe before the next century, people could go to work in their dreams and leave their waking hours to themselves.

It was quite wonderful to think about.

Tanghulu: "No impact is fine."

Roasted Mutton Skewer: "Don't you all have to go to work?!"

Hu Wan: "Don't follow his example, this guy is probably a professional gamer."

One Leaf Knows Autumn glanced at this taciturn fellow.

A professional gamer, huh.

The real professional player is right here, isn't he?

He wasn't a professional player at all, just a casual player who played a lot of games.

Drink It All In One Gulp: "...Speaking of which, I'm suddenly a little curious, what would happen if you stayed online for 24 hours?"

Xiao Wan Can't Get Enough: "You'll wake up hungry! I've tried it."

Roasted Mutton Skewer: "Even if you don't wake up hungry, your body won't be able to take it, right?!"

Brother Drink It All In One Gulp revealed a slightly regretful expression.

"Hey, what do you guys think would happen if you could hold on?...Would you directly transmigrate into the game world?"

Everyone was silent for a while, and then they all cast subtle glances at this guy with a novel thought process.

Boar-Headed Knight: "I could accept transmigrating into a Succubus, but becoming a Skeleton Soldier... I'll pass."

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "Isn't the key the ID? The game is fine, but transmigrating into the game world with this name... you wouldn't have any friends."

Seeing that Brother Drink It All In One Gulp was about to break down, Hu Wan coughed lightly and patted him on the shoulder.

"...You should go to sleep."

Watching that line of unappetizing ID heading towards the corner, One Leaf Knows Autumn said goodbye to Hu Wan and prepared to log off as well.

Seeing that this try-hard was actually preparing to rest, Knowledge Explosion couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you continue grinding monsters?"

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "What's the point of grinding when you've already reached the level cap?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Minotaur Warrior: "Holy crap? You dog thing, you've already reached the level cap?!"

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "It's just LV3, don't make it sound like I'm level 100... By the way, I'm looking for the Demon Lord, have you guys seen him?"

Boar-Headed Knight: "Didn't see him... Why don't you try attacking that statue? He appeared when I touched it last time."

One Leaf Knows Autumn: "Get lost, go trick some Newbie, don't try to trick me."

On the other side.

Gou Shi, who was wandering around the Demon Lord Territory, ran into another strange person after Brother Drink It All In One Gulp.

In the corner of the mine, a Skeleton Soldier was fiddling with wooden planks that he had taken from somewhere, smearing mud mixed with Ratfolk innards on them, making square-shaped gardens.

However, that thing clearly didn't look like it was for planting flowers and plants, at least he had never seen this kind of planting method.

Out of curiosity, he went over and asked.

"Bro, what are you doing?"

The Skeleton Soldier raised its head, and a unique ID floated next to its head—

[Tables and Stools]

Gou Shi almost spat out his drink.

Tables and Stools: "Growing mushrooms, what's up?"

"Mushrooms?"

Gou Shi was taken aback, leaned closer to look, and sure enough, he saw some tiny mushrooms growing on the Ratfolk corpses.

These mushrooms mainly grew on their abdomens, especially in places where there were wounds.

How amazing!

Is it a fictional species of bacteria in the game world?! But...

"...What's the use of this?"

"Don't know." Tables and Stools shook his head, and said as a matter of course.

Gou Shi couldn't help but complain.

"Then why are you growing them?"

Hearing this nonsensical question, Tables and Stools looked at him strangely and asked.

"Then why do you play games?"

Gou Shi stared at him dumbfounded, and was speechless for a moment, unable to say a word in rebuttal.

So reasonable!

He was convinced.

"...Bro, let's add each other as friends, I think you are a talent, let's keep in touch in the future!"

"Whatever."

Casually clicked agree, Tables and Stools stopped looking at him, and continued to stare intently at his mushroom garden.

"Just don't bother me."

The next morning, Leon got up early. He originally wanted to make a simple lava boiled egg, but unfortunately there were no Firebird eggs or lava here, so he had to give up.

Better to just eat bread.

After a simple meal, Leon went to the well in the backyard of the inn to fetch some water to wash up, and then took the time to take a look at the situation of the little wildcat he picked up last night.

Sarah was sleeping soundly, curled up in a ball wrapped in the quilt, and the even snoring was exactly the same as a cat.

However, Leon could feel that she was not sleeping very deeply, and a little movement might wake her up.

Perhaps hearing the footsteps at the door, the snoring gradually stopped, and then the closed eyelids opened a thin slit, revealing amber pupils.

"What do you want to eat for breakfast?"

Just a second ago, Sarah was still drowsy, but the next second, she sat up from the bed with a hundred times more energy.

"Roasted skewers! Ratfolk! Tails!"

"We'll talk about that stuff tonight," Leon said, tossing a piece of bread into her hands. "Let's have something light for breakfast."

"Bread!"

Smelling the tempting aroma of wheat, Sarah's eyes sparkled, and she took a bite, almost eating her index finger as well.

Watching her gobble it down, Leon, who had just finished eating, felt a little hungry again. So, he stopped looking at her and picked up a wooden board he had taken from the next room, using a Magic Crystal pen to write and draw on it.

Yesterday's daily active user data was quite good, so it seemed like completing the Calamity System's mission shouldn't be a problem.

Once the mission is completed, a large number of new players will enter the game. To prevent them from running around like headless flies, he needs to make some simple signposts to put in the mine, telling them where they can go and where they can't.

In addition, some people with poor sense of direction can't find their way home, and this problem also needs to be solved.

As for the last board, it's for Sarah to use.

Finally finishing the bread in her hand, Sarah licked her fingers with lingering taste. At this time, she finally noticed what Leon was doing, so she curiously leaned over.

"This is, what?"

Her fluffy ears tickled his nose a bit, so Leon pushed her away a little and held up the board in his hand, saying.

"Today is the opening day of the Demon Lord Territory Convenience Store, and I plan to write a sign myself."

"Convenience store? Sign?"

Although she didn't understand what these two words meant, her ears perked up with curiosity.

"Simply put, it's like a store. You promised to work for me last night... don't you remember?"

Sarah looked at him blankly, feeling like there was no such thing, but vaguely remembering hearing something like that.

"What does Sarah need to do?"

Leon said in a casual tone.

"It's very simple. My servants will come to you to buy things, and you just need to give them the things. I'll teach you the specifics later."

You You can handle things like accounting by adding "game rules."

Simply put, if the player's balance is sufficient, an option of

[Transaction Successful]

will pop up.

Conversely, if the player's balance is insufficient, forcibly conducting the transaction after seeing the pop-up prompt will result in the "Demon Lord's Divine Punishment."

Although she is a clerk, Sarah doesn't actually need to handle the cash register, she just needs to do a good job of storage.

As for the players' flirty remarks, she can reply with a meow if she's happy, and she doesn't have to pay attention if she's not happy.

Anyway, those guys like that.

"Leave it to me!" It sounded interesting, and Sarah nodded with great interest. "Sarah, can work!"

"Okay! Work hard, there's a salary!"

Leon patted her shoulder with a smile, then handed the written wooden sign to her.

The sign said "No Feeding," but since it was in square characters, Sarah couldn't understand it anyway.

After doing these things, Leon took Sarah to the mine, intending to introduce her to the players.

However, the moment he stepped into the Demon Lord Territory, a Skeleton Soldier respectfully knelt on one knee.

"Respected Lord Demon Lord, I am your most, most, most loyal servant, One Leaf Knows Autumn."

"My Contribution Points have reached 1000, which should be enough to prove my loyalty—"

This guy has high EQ.

But Leon, who still had things to do, didn't want to waste time listening to him beat around the bush.

"You want to upgrade, right? Granted."

With that, he stretched out his Magic Wand and pretended to tap the Skeleton Soldier's forehead, while silently calling out to a certain clingy thing in his heart.

'You You, I'll leave it to you.'

'Okay! Got it!'

A dark green light flashed, hitting the top of the Skeleton Soldier's head with unparalleled accuracy.

The feeling was wonderful.

It was like the soul had been sublimated, and the barren desert had been nourished by sweet springs... In short, one word to describe it would be awesome.

One Leaf Knows Autumn carefully savored it for a long time, and when he came back to his senses and wanted to express his advancement speech, he saw that Lord Demon Lord was no longer there.

"...?"

Good heavens.

Was he skipped by an NPC?
