The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Preparation for the Promotion Exam (1)

Let’s move to the balcony.

“Ahh, the breeze feels nice.”

Sayori smiled brightly, enjoying the wind.

Anyone who saw this scene would have thought it was like a painting, but it couldn’t impress Jung Minwoo much since he was used to seeing Venus.

‘Should I try reading her mind first?’

Jung Minwoo decided to read Sayori’s mind through ‘심안(心眼)’ (Mind’s Eye) and prepare himself, as he didn’t know what she would say.

T h is w a s c opi e d fr om ki ng m t l .or g
As he focused on Sayori.

【Now that we’re alone, I can seduce him slowly, right?】

Letters formed above her head, turning Sayori’s thoughts into text.

‘As expected, she called me here to seduce me…’

Jung Minwoo felt embarrassed after reading her mind.

‘I’m not thrilled about my boss’s daughter having feelings for me.’

He would have cut her off immediately if it were any other demon, but it was difficult considering who she was.

‘Still, it’s better to be clear than to drag it out.’

Jung Minwoo decided to make things clear this time, as misunderstandings later could lead to awkward situations.

“Sayori-nim.”

As he called her name.

“Yes?”

Sayori tilted her head, tucking her hair behind her ear.

“First, I want to be clear about something.”

“What is it?”

“I don’t have any romantic feelings for you, Sayori-nim, and I have no intention of dating until I become the Demon Lord.”

“…”

Sayori’s face clearly showed her surprise at the sudden statement, then.

“…I see.”

She gave a bitter smile.

“…I apologize.”

Sayori shook her head at Jung Minwoo’s apology.

“Why are you apologizing? You’re right to focus on your work if you want to become the Demon Lord.”

Then, she clenched her fists and said.

“Even if you don’t have feelings now, who knows what might happen later?”

Jung Minwoo only smiled awkwardly at her words, unable to give an answer.

“Then, I’ll go in first. Take your time, Minwoo-nim.”

“…Alright.”

Sayori patted Jung Minwoo’s shoulder and went inside.

‘Phew, I’m glad it ended well.’

Jung Minwoo sat down on a chair on the balcony and let out a sigh of relief.

‘She seemed to accept it to some extent, so this won’t happen again.’

Judging from her thoughts, there was nothing but contemplation about the rejection, so he wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore.

Unfortunately, contrary to Jung Minwoo’s thoughts, the situation was unfolding differently.

【Win Jung Minwoo】

【Jung Minwoo’s love】

【Seduce Jung Minwoo】

Because of this incident, Sayori’s desire had changed into an obsession for ‘Jung Minwoo’.

After the party, Jung Minwoo went to his room to rest.

‘Should I use the VIP card?’

T hi s w a s c o p i e d f ro m ki ng m tl.o r g
He was hesitant to use it because it was limited to 10 uses, but.

‘I need to know what items are available to plan how to use my DP.’

He had to check it at least once since he wouldn’t know what items were there if he didn’t.

Jung Minwoo made up his mind and immediately took out the ‘VIP’ card from his subspace and poured ‘마기(Demonic Energy)’ into it.

【Welcome, customer】

A message welcoming him appeared, then.

『Demon Lord Shop Window』
Th is w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o r g

[Artifact]

[Monster]

[Equipment]

[Food]

[Sell]

Current DP: 20,000,000

A hologram window appeared before him.
T h is wa s c o pi e d fr om ki n g m t l. o r g

‘The categories are the same.’

Jung Minwoo first clicked on the ‘Artifact’ category and browsed the items.

‘Indeed, there’s a noticeable difference in quality compared to the regular shop window.’

Perhaps because it was exclusive to the Demon Lord, all the artifacts listed were tempting.

‘…But they’re too expensive?’

One drawback was that the prices were ridiculously high.

‘The cheapest one is 10 million DP… Is this for real?’

He currently had 20 million DP.

The DP he thought was plentiful now seemed quite paltry.

‘I can always gather more DP, so I should focus on finding something I need right now.’

Cutting off his thoughts, Jung Minwoo entered other categories and browsed the items.

After browsing for about two hours.

‘This looks good.’

He found an artifact that was needed in his current situation.

[Battle Space – 10,000,000 DP]

Jung Minwoo clicked on the chosen artifact to check its effects.

[Battle Space]

Upon entering the Battle Space, you can create virtual enemies and recover from any injuries sustained.

Up to 5 people can use it simultaneously, and the space disappears upon exiting.

‘With this, I can perfectly prepare for the promotion exam.’

He could fight virtual enemies, gaining experience by facing various opponents and improving his combat skills.
T h i s w a s copi e d f r o m k in g m t l .o r g

Moreover, he could continue using the ‘Battle Space’ as long as he didn’t leave, making it a cost-effective artifact.

‘I should save the remaining 10 million DP for buying monsters and feed.’

Deciding to purchase the ‘Battle Space’, Jung Minwoo clicked the button.

【Battle Space purchased for 10,000,000 DP】

A message appeared, confirming the purchase.

Whoosh.

Then, a black light flickered in the air, and.

Thud—

A red orb-shaped artifact appeared in Jung Minwoo’s hand.

‘So this is the Battle Space artifact?’

Jung Minwoo carefully stored the artifact in his subspace, lest it activate accidentally.

‘Now that I’ve bought the artifact, I can start tomorrow.’

He decided it was best to get enough rest today after the party and start tomorrow.

‘Well then, shall I enjoy my last bit of rest?’

Jung Minwoo informed the Demon Communion members to gather in the meeting room tomorrow and enjoyed his rest.

The next morning.

Thump, thump, thump.

Jung Minwoo finished his simple preparations and immediately headed to the meeting room.

Creak―
T h i s wa s c o pie d f ro m k i n g m t l . o rg

As he opened the meeting room door and entered,

“You all arrived early?”

He could see that everyone except himself was already seated in the meeting room.

“With our ranks at stake, we couldn’t afford to be late.”

“…Nothing else to do.”

“My body was itching, I couldn’t just sit still in my room.”

“I came early because I wanted to get ready quickly! Ribbit, ribbit.”

The Jungsin Cult members explained why they had come early, their faces full of anticipation.

“Good attitude.”

Jung Minwoo chuckled and sat down at the head of the table in the meeting room. At the same time,

“What rank are you planning to apply for and take the promotion exam?”

He went straight to the point.

The advantage of the promotion exam was that you could apply for any rank you wanted, regardless of your current rank.

“5th Rank would be a safe bet, but personally, I’d like to take the 4th Rank promotion exam.”
T h i s was c o p i e d f r o m ki n g m t l. or g

Jung Minwoo nodded at Venus’s words and said,

“It’s more appealing to take risks and raise your rank quickly than to climb safely one step at a time.”

One might wonder why there would be any risk in taking a promotion exam.

‘When you apply for a promotion exam that is two or more ranks higher than your current rank, there are conditions attached.’

If you apply for a promotion exam that is two ranks higher and fail, your rank will be lowered by one.

“…I also want to apply for 4th Rank.”

“Definitely 4th Rank!”

“I also want to challenge the 4th Rank promotion exam! Ribbit, ribbit.”

Elin, Anubis, and Rok also expressed the same opinion as Venus.

‘4th Rank…’

Jung Minwoo stroked his chin, lost in thought.
T h i s w a s c o p i ed f r o m k i ngm t l. or g

‘Venus is 6th Rank, the others are 7th Rank.’

Venus wanted to apply for a rank two steps higher, and the others wanted to apply for a rank three steps higher.

If anyone else had seen this, it wouldn’t have been strange for them to yell at them not to be reckless.

‘But if it’s these guys, they can pass the 4th Rank promotion exam.’

Based on what he had seen, Jung Minwoo had no doubt that they would pass.

Of course, there was some basis for his belief.

The first basis was,

‘Except for Venus, the others all have unique traits related to combat.’

Because sparring was their main event.

The second basis was,

‘They have a denser demonic energy than demons of the same rank.’

They had gained a large amount of demonic energy from invading two planets.

The third basis was,

‘We have the ‘Battle Space’ artifact.’

Th is wa s c op i e d fr o m k i n g mt l. o rg
The ‘Battle Space’ artifact could efficiently and quickly increase their combat abilities.

The final, fourth basis was,

‘We can save a lot of time by training on Dainik planet.’

Because they could gain 100 years of time by training on Dainik planet, where time flows faster.

‘You might say it would be better to go to a place like Nesli where time flows 100 times faster. But…’

‘A planet that hasn’t been invaded is troublesome.’

They could be attacked by the pigeons while they were unprepared, and if living creatures touched the ‘Battle Space’ artifact, it would disappear, so there were too many risk factors.

‘So, training on Dainik planet is the best option.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo looked at the Jungsin Cult members and said,

“I believe you guys can pass the promotion exam without any problems.”

The Jungsin Cult members’ eyes sparkled as they showed their determination.

“Now that you’ve all decided on the rank you want, let me explain how the training will work.”

As Jung Minwoo explained his plan to the Jungsin Cult members,

“Creating virtual enemies… We can quickly improve our combat abilities by fighting multiple enemies.”

“We can fight virtual enemies for 100 years…? That’s amazing!”

“…Indeed, if we fight virtual enemies for 100 years, our combat abilities will noticeably improve.”

“This is a chance to find ways to utilize my unique trait even more! Ribbit, ribbit.”

All the Jungsin Cult members showed positive reactions.

“Then, shall we go to Dainik planet right away?”

Afterwards, Jung Minwoo and the Jungsin Cult members headed to the portal station.

Upon arriving at the portal station.

“Huh? You’re back again so soon?”

The demon working at the station greeted Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members with a bored expression.

“I have a promotion exam in 5 years, so I’m preparing.”

The demon’s eyes sparkled at Jung Minwoo’s answer.

“You’re planning to buy time by going to ‘Dainik’ planet?”

“That’s right.”

“You’re quite clever. I guess you didn’t invade those two planets for nothing?”

“…Planet invasion?”

“Yeah, you invaded ‘Yurain’ and ‘Dainik’ planets, right?”

Except for Satan and Lucifer, no other demon knew about the planet invasions, so Jung Minwoo asked with curiosity.

“How did you know about the planet invasions?”

The demon shrugged nonchalantly, as if it were nothing special.

“The Demon Lord bragged about you invading planets, so I found out.”

In other words, Satan had blabbed about it, and that’s how he found out.

‘Geez, isn’t he a bit too loose-lipped?’

He was a little surprised by how loose-lipped Satan was, but it didn’t matter if other demons knew, so Jung Minwoo decided to ignore it.

“Well then, I’ll send you to ‘Dainik’ planet.”

“Please do.”

The demon quickly typed on the typewriter, then.

Click—

Pressed enter.

Whoosh—

A portal emitting a blue light appeared in the air.

“We’ll be going then.”

Jung Minwoo bowed to the demon and was about to step into the portal when.

“You better be prepared. The promotion exam is tougher than you think.”

The demon gave him advice with a serious expression.

“I’ll be careful.”

Jung Minwoo gratefully accepted the demon’s advice and walked into the portal with the Demon Communion members.
