The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 212
Chapter 212: Demon Lord Company (1)
200 days had passed on the ‘Dainik’ time axis, and the training had come to an end.
T h is w a s c o p ie d f r o m k i ngmt l . or g
The trainees, no, the demons belonging to the Demon Lord’s Castle, were standing in front of the platform with dignified faces, unlike before.
‘They finally look like proper demons.’
He could now confidently say that they had reached a satisfactory level, both physically and mentally.
Although they had failed to capture the flag, it would serve as a stepping stone for them to reach greater heights.
Jung Minwoo scanned the lined-up demons and began his speech.
“You must be feeling it yourselves. The fact that you’re much different from before the training began.”
Looking at their confident faces, he continued.
“This Demon Lord is confident that you will be the future leaders of the Demon Lord’s Castle, no, the Demon World.”
The demons here were taken aback by the unexpectedly high praise, but at the same time, they showed bright smiles.
“Take pride in the fact that I am your master and that you are members of this organization. Strive to continue to improve. Understand?”
“””Yes!!!”””
The demons answered in loud voices filled with determination, as if to show that they would surely live up to Jung Minwoo’s expectations.
“Good. Now let’s return to the Demon World.”
“””Yes!”””
After returning to the Demon Lord’s Castle, the demons, unlike before, did not slack off and started their work.
T h i s w a s co p i ed f rom k in g mt l . o rg
Their evaluation, which had plummeted, soared vertically among the residents of the Demon Lord’s Castle.
That night.
‘Phew…… Now that the rehabilitation project has ended successfully, shall I start something else?’
Jung Minwoo stretched and entered his office.
Thump, thump, thump―
As he walked in and headed towards his desk.
‘Hmm?’
There was a letter sitting on his desk.
‘Who sent this?’
Thinking that it might be a reply to the thank-you letters he had sent to the Demon Lords, he opened it.
―Since it’s a party, I thought there should be an invitation.
I’m going all out on this one, so look forward to it.
By the way, you can’t enter without this letter, so keep it safe, okay?
―From the respected Demon Lord, Satan―
T his w as c o pi e d fr o m k i ng m t l . or g
He realized that it was an invitation sent by Satan.
“……Sigh.”
Jung Minwoo let out a small sigh and put the letter into his subspace.
‘……No, how grand is it going to be that he even sent this?’
It would be a lie to say he didn’t expect a grand party.
‘……But something feels ominous.’
Seeing that he even sent a letter like this, instead of raising his expectations, it only amplified his anxiety.
‘He’s someone who could throw a strange party, but he’ll throw a normal one, right?’
Jung Minwoo tried to shake off his anxiety and sat down in his chair.
‘I hope a plausible plan comes to mind today.’
He opened a drawer, took out a piece of paper, and fell into deep thought.
‘How can I increase my DP sources?’
He tried writing down various DP acquisition methods on the paper, but……
‘These are all difficult to implement.’
He couldn’t find any feasible solution.
‘Tsk, I didn’t know this would be such a headache.’
He was frustrated that he was stuck on something he thought would be easy.
‘……Should I ask other demons for advice?’
As he scratched his head, about to lose himself in thought again.
‘……Wait, why didn’t I think of that?’
He came up with a very good way to think of a plan.
That method was……
T h i s w a s cop i e d fr om ki ng mtl. or g
‘I can just use Rok’s unique trait, right?’
He could use the ‘Ultimate Evolution’ unique trait to evolve into ‘Brain Mode’.
‘Rok definitely said his intelligence increased dramatically after using this in the promotion exam.’
He said that thanks to ‘Brain Mode’, he was able to come up with excellent strategies, so he thought he might be able to come up with a good plan if he used it as well.
‘I’d better try it right away.’
As soon as he thought about copying the unique trait.
【Which demon’s unique trait would you like to copy?】
Rok
Aold
Anubis
Elin
Venus
Lucifer
A message window appeared before his eyes.
‘I’ll copy Rok’s unique trait.’
【Copying Rok’s unique trait ‘Ultimate Evolution’】
Th i s w a s co p i e d fr o m k ing mt l . o rg
Following that, a message window appeared, confirming that he would copy the unique trait.
【Abilities vary depending on the amount of demonic energy used. How much would you like to use?】
Then, a message window asked him how much demonic energy he wanted to use.
‘I’ll use it all.’
When he said he would use all of his demonic energy to use the ability at 100%.
【You can maximize the unique trait with a small amount of demonic energy. We will proceed with one-fifth of your total demonic energy.】
He was informed that he couldn’t use all of his demonic energy.
【Based on the analysis of your demonic energy, you can evolve into two forms. Please choose one.】
Battle Mode.
Brain Mode.
Then, a message window appeared, asking him to choose the form he wanted to evolve into.
This w a s c o pi e d f r o m ki ngmt l .o r g
‘I’ll evolve into Brain Mode.’
【You can use 100% of the abilities of the second form ‘Brain Mode’.】
After choosing the form to evolve into.
【Evolving into ‘Brain Mode’】
It immediately informed him that he would evolve.
Flash―
“……Ah!”
At the same time, billions of ideas began to pop up in his head.
Perhaps because so much information rushed in at once, a strong headache suddenly struck him, but……
‘It feels like I’ve become a computer.’
The pleasure from the sensation that transcended cognition was greater, so he didn’t care about the headache.
‘Which of these is the best plan?’
Jung Minwoo took some time to find the most rational plan that would produce the best results.
About 5 seconds passed.
‘……Found it.’
He succeeded in finding the optimal plan among the billions of pieces of information.
‘Surely, with this plan, not only will I drastically increase my DP sources, but my forces will also become much stronger.’
Jung Minwoo smiled with satisfaction, and immediately canceled the unique trait.
‘Whew……’
His transcendent cognitive ability returned to its original state.
An emptiness as if a burden had been lifted.
But he also felt refreshed as the information that had been cluttering his head disappeared.
‘This…… I’m going to have to use it a lot in the future.’
Jung Minwoo decided to actively use ‘Brain Mode’ in the future when he had important moments or decisions to make.
‘It’ll be amazing if Rok becomes a Demon Lord and his unique trait gets enhanced again.’
Even now, this ability was quite OP, so he was looking forward to how it would change if it was enhanced again.
‘Then, shall I briefly organize the plan I came up with?’
Jung Minwoo took out the ‘Infinite Diary’ from his subspace.
Woo―ung.
T h i s w as c opi e d f r o m k i n g m tl. o r g
After injecting demonic energy into the diary, he dipped his fountain pen in ink and quickly started writing on the paper.
Scribble, scribble, scribble―
When he had finished organizing the plan he came up with and written it all down in the diary.
‘I’m sure I wrote it concisely, but why is there so much?’
It was over 100 pages long.
‘Well, I guess creating DP sources isn’t something that can be solved in just a few lines.’
T hi s w a s c o pi e d f rom k i n g mt l . o r g
Putting away his fountain pen, he took some time to check the diary for any missing content.
‘All the necessary content is there, without a single omission.’
Jung Minwoo put the Infinite Diary back into his subspace and got up from his seat.
‘I’ll call the Demon Communion members for lunch tomorrow, share the plan regarding DP sources, and put it into action right away.’
Now that his work was done, he decided to go to his room and rest. As he was about to leave his office.
Knock, knock―
Someone knocked on the office door.
‘……Who is it at this hour?’
He was puzzled that there was a demon knocking on his office door at this late hour. Instead of answering, he grabbed the doorknob and opened the door.
Creak―
“Great Master-nim, you were inside?”
The Head Butler was standing there, holding a stack of letters.
“What’s the matter?”
“Just a moment ago, all the letters from the Demon Lords arrived. I came to place them on your desk, Great Master-nim.”
“At this hour……? Don’t you take any breaks?”
“Haha, serving you, Master-nim, is like taking a break for me.”
At the Head Butler’s answer, Jung Minwoo couldn’t help but admire him inwardly.
‘He’s a complete workaholic……?’
He thought he was a workaholic too, but he was no match for the Head Butler standing before him.
“What were you going to do after putting down the letters?”
“After that, I was planning to create a task list for the Demon Lord’s Castle.”
“A task list? Didn’t you take over from Evolo?”
“I did, but there are some areas that are a bit lacking, so I’m going to supplement them.”
Listening to the Head Butler, Jung Minwoo thought that he might have underestimated him.
‘Come to think of it, I was too busy invading back at the mansion to pay much attention.’
Thinking that he was a greater talent than he had thought, he felt it was a waste to just leave him be.
‘Since I persuaded him to come here, it’s my duty as his master to support him.’
Jung Minwoo, who had decided to actively support him, looked at the Head Butler and said.
“Head Butler, don’t you want to raise your rank?”
“……My rank, you say?”
“Yes. I think it’s a waste for someone as talented as you to stay at 9th Rank.”
One might wonder why he doesn’t just take the promotion exam if he wants to raise his rank.
T h is w a s c o p i e d f r om k i ng mtl . o r g
‘But there’s a strange perception ingrained in servants.’
The perception in the Demon World was that as long as one served their master well, rank didn’t matter.
‘At first glance, it might seem like it’s not wrong…… but it’s just a nonsensical fallacy.’
Even a demon who had just been born would know that the higher the rank, the better the efficiency.
‘He’s hesitant to answer.’
Looking at the Head Butler, he could see that he couldn’t readily answer.
“Head Butler.”
“……Yes, Great Master-nim.”
“Just tell me what you think.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, the Head Butler nodded and answered.
“Yes, I want to rise to a higher rank and serve you better, Great Master-nim.”
“I like your honesty. I’ll actively support you from now on.”
“……Great Master-nim!”
As the Head Butler was momentarily overcome with emotion.
“……Although I am grateful for your consideration, may I make one shameless request?”
He spoke cautiously, gauging Jung Minwoo’s reaction.
“Speak freely.”
“Just as you have given me an opportunity, I wish you would give the same opportunity to other servants as well.”
He wondered what kind of request it would be, but as expected, it didn’t deviate from his expectations.
“Of course, I will give equal opportunities to other servants as well. Naturally, their own will is important, though.”
“……Thank you!”
“Alright, give me the letters. I’ll check them in my room.”
“Here you are.”
“Okay, I’ll be going now.”
T h i s w a s co pie d fro m ki ng mt l . org
Jung Minwoo received the letters from the Head Butler and immediately returned to his room.
‘Shall I check the contents of the letters?’
As soon as he entered the room, he checked the letters from the Demon Lords.
‘There’s nothing special.’
The content was just that they were glad he received the gifts well.
‘I don’t need to reply, but I need to build relationships, so I should make time to send letters later.’
Jung Minwoo put the letters away and took some time to rest until the sun rose.
And the next morning.
The Head Butler reported that all the servants had expressed their desire to raise their ranks.
