The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 270
Chapter 270: 100 Years (2)
“……I’ll go in.”
“Okay, see you later.”
Jung Minwoo saw Elin off to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
“Take me to the Arena.”
“As you wish.”
He was guided by the Head Butler to the Arena.
When they arrived at the Arena.
Th i s wa s c op ie d f r o m k i ng m t l . o r g
“It’s big.”
He could see that it was comparable in size to the Colosseum building in the Neutral Zone.
“Yes, as per Great Master-nim’s order, it was built large to accommodate a large audience.”
“Excellent, it was a good decision to leave it to you.”
Jung Minwoo patted the Head Butler’s shoulder and said.
“Let’s go in.”
“Yes.”
He entered the Arena with the Head Butler.
‘The atmosphere of the Arena is well captured.’
The interior was the same as the Colosseum.
He thought about building the building in a different style, but.
‘An Arena is a Colosseum.’
From his previous life, the memory of the Colosseum from his history lessons was strong, so he went ahead with it.
T h i s w as c o p i ed fr om ki n g m t l . o r g
‘There doesn’t seem to be a problem, now I just need to find demons to participate in the Arena.’
It was obvious that no one would want to participate if the rewards were meager, so he prepared tempting rewards.
‘Give them a cut of the admission fees and betting commissions.’
In addition, since he would be paying a huge amount of DP to the winner, he expected that there would be some demons who would apply.
‘I think it would be good to receive applications from demons of the 9th Rank only.’
He thought about receiving applications from higher ranks as well, but.
‘If you go up, the number of applicants is too small.’
Considering that the number of demons decreases exponentially as the rank goes up, it seemed better to only accept those from the 9th Rank.
‘Since I’m only accepting those from the 9th Rank, it wouldn’t be bad to give the winner a chance to join the Demon Lord’s Castle.’
If he offered this as well, unaffiliated demons would flock to him.
Th i s w a s c o p i ed fr om kin g m tl . o r g
‘If I proceed like this, the participants will gather on their own, and for the audience, as long as I promote it well, it should be fine.’
He wondered if anyone would come to the Arena to watch a fight between 9th Rank demons.
‘They will flock in droves.’
Jung Minwoo was sure that many would come.
After all,
‘It’s not just a place to watch fights.’
It was because of the betting system.
The structure was that if you bet on the demon that wins, you win DP.
This kind of entertainment structure didn’t exist in the Demon World, so the demons would be interested and would attend for fun.
‘And then they’ll get addicted to betting.’
Like gambling, it starts out as fun and gradually becomes an addiction.
If that happens, the Arena will gain a fixed audience and earn a huge amount of income.
‘I’m not sure if demons will get addicted to gambling, but they will definitely enjoy it as a form of entertainment.’
Even if they don’t get addicted, it’s enough for them to enjoy it as entertainment, so there was no problem in generating revenue.
After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo said.
“Head Butler?”
“Yes, Great Master-nim.”
“When you return to the Demon Lord’s Castle, recruit 9th Rank demons to participate in the Arena.”
“Understood.”
He gave the Head Butler a new order.
“Should I also recruit the audience?”
“No, I’ll do that.”
“Understood.”
After finishing all his business, he said.
“Let’s go back to the Demon Lord’s Castle.”
“Yes.”
He returned to the Demon Lord’s Castle.
That night.
T h i s w a s c op ie d fr o m k i n g mt l .o r g
“I will report to you.”
The Head Butler visited his office to report the daily sales of the tourist attraction.
“The sales for the day are……”
After hearing the sales figures, he said.
“It’s going better than I thought.”
The sales of the tourist attraction were literally a jackpot.
The figures were 10 times higher than he had expected.
“Excluding the entrance fee, the highest sales came from the ‘food court’.”
“As expected.”
It was roughly the result he had expected.
“Which one sold the most?”
T h is w a s c o pi e d fr o m ki n g m tl . o r g
Jung Minwoo asked what was selling well.
“Snacks sold well overall.”
“I see.”
This w a s c o p ie d fr o m k i ng m tl. o r g
He had expected it to sell well because he had seen Elin eating it so deliciously.
“What sold the least?”
He asked what sold the least in order to remove the unpopular food.
“……Well, about that.”
The Head Butler hesitated for a moment before speaking and then.
“It’s the Demon Tteokbokki……”
He said cautiously, watching his expression.
“……”
It was a completely unexpected result.
‘……Why?’
He thought he had carefully selected ingredients that would appeal to the Demon World, but he couldn’t believe it was the least popular food.
“……One of the visitors who ate the Demon Tteokbokki complained to the staff.”
“……What was the reason?”
“It was too spicy……”
He couldn’t accept that it was spicy even though he had reduced the spiciness to the maximum.
‘I shouldn’t try spicy food anymore.’
Jung Minwoo didn’t know, but he was someone who could handle spicy food well in his previous life, so even if he reduced the spiciness, it would inevitably be quite spicy for others.
“……Remove the Demon Tteokbokki.”
“Understood.”
He made the difficult decision to remove the food that wasn’t selling because it was only causing losses.
‘Tsk, I really shouldn’t try to make food anymore.’
He vowed not to touch food again, but after a while.
‘Wouldn’t Bulgogi be okay?’
How long had it been since he made that vow, and now he was thinking of another food.
‘Bulgogi isn’t spicy, is it?’
He decided to try ‘Bulgogi’ one last time and then stop.
“Head Butler?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll give you a recipe, so make the food based on that and sell it at the ‘food court’.”
“Yes, please tell me.”
After telling him all about the recipe, the Head Butler said.
“I will take my leave now.”
The Head Butler left to prepare the food according to the recipe.
And as he would later find out, Bulgogi would become the best-selling food at the ‘food court’.
‘I don’t think there’s anything else to do with the tourist attraction, now I just need to focus on the Arena.’
Jung Minwoo sent letters to the Demon Lords to promote the Arena and ordered the demons to distribute promotional materials.
After that, things went quite smoothly.
He easily found demons to participate in the Arena, and Demon Lords or demons who were interested in the betting system expressed their intention to attend.
A month passed as he steadily prepared, and the Arena opened.
The day the Arena opened.
“Watching fights is always fun!”
Anubis was humming and getting ready to go out.
He felt happy to see Anubis after a month, but.
‘She seemed busy these days, is it okay for her to come?’
He was worried that she might be squeezing in time to attend.
“You seemed really busy lately, is it okay for you to go?”
He asked Anubis just in case.
“It’s okay, I finished all the training yesterday, so I have some free time for now.”
She replied that she had plenty of time.
“That’s good to hear.”
He nodded, relieved that she wasn’t forcing herself to make time.
‘Since the others aren’t coming, it looks like it’ll just be the two of us this time.’
Before leaving, Jung Minwoo informed Anubis through telepathy that he would be going to the Arena with her.
T h i s w a s cop i e d f ro m k i n gm t l . o rg
‘Now that I’ve let her know where we’re going, there shouldn’t be any trouble finding her.’
Now that he had sent the telepathic message, he was about to head to the Arena when.
Bang―
The door to his office burst open.
“Huff, croak. Huff, croak.”
Rok entered the office, breathing heavily.
‘How far did he run to be so out of breath?’
Jung Minwoo stared at Rok in bewilderment for a moment.
“What brings you here?”
He asked about the reason for Rok’s visit.
“I want to go too. Croak, croak.”
“Aren’t you busy?”
“It’s okay now! Croak, croak.”
T h i s w as c o p ied f r o m k i ng m t l . or g
From Rok’s answer, he could tell.
‘He’s forcing himself to make time to come because Anubis is going.’
His intentions were too obvious.
“Hey, you look like you just came from work, why are you trying so hard to come along?”
Anubis must have noticed that Rok had come from work because she chided him for coming along unnecessarily.
“N-no, it’s really okay. Croak, croak.”
Rok flinched and vehemently denied that he was forcing himself.
“Don’t try to lie to your Noona, it’s obvious when you’re lying.”
At Anubis’s words.
“Haha, croak, croak.”
Rok laughed awkwardly and scratched his head.
“Alright, if you complain to Noona later that you’re busy, you’ll be in trouble. Got it?”
“Yeah, got it. Croak, croak.”
“Okay, let’s go then.”
T h i s w as c o p i ed fr o m k i n gm t l . org
T h i s w a s c opi ed fr o m k in g mt l . o r g
Thump―
Anubis put her arm around Rok’s shoulder, linking arms with him, and said.
“Minwoo, let’s go.”
She suggested they move to the Arena.
‘They’ve gotten quite close.’
He knew that they had gotten closer since the party that Satan held, but he didn’t know they had progressed this much.
“Okay, let’s go.”
He answered Anubis and smiled faintly.
Seeing Rok smiling brightly, a subtle smile formed on his lips for some reason.
‘I’m glad Rok looks happy.’
Now that he looked at them, it seemed like Anubis also had some affection for Rok, so there was a high possibility that their relationship would develop further.
‘I hope they work out well.’
Jung Minwoo had the silly thought that if these two got married, he would like to officiate their wedding as he followed them out.
After arriving at the Arena.
Jung Minwoo took Anubis and Rok to the VIP seats.
“Before the match starts, I’ll give you a brief explanation of betting.”
“Betting?”
“Yeah, you bet DP on a demon, and if that demon wins, you get DP according to the betting ratio.”
“So, if you bet on the winning side, you’re guaranteed to make more DP?”
“That’s right.”
Anubis’s eyes sparkled at the thought of being able to earn DP without doing anything.
“And if the ratio of the demon you bet on is lower than the opponent’s, you can earn even more DP.”
In other words, if you bet on the side with fewer bets, you can earn a lot of DP.
After finishing the explanation, Anubis smiled slyly and said.
“Hehe, Minwoo, what if I end up taking all your DP?”
She expressed her confidence as if she could sweep all the DP if she wanted to.
‘It’s a structure where you can’t lose.’
It didn’t matter if Anubis took all the DP, but.
“If you can.”
Playfulness arose within him, and he provoked her.
“Oh? Are you provoking Noona? Fine, I’ll make sure this Arena closes down today.”
Anubis rolled up her sleeves, showing her competitive spirit.
“Don’t bet too much DP, just bet little by little, okay? Croak, croak.”
Rok, sensing something ominous, suggested that she bet little by little, but.
“A demon doesn’t bet so timidly!”
Anubis shook her head, rejecting his suggestion.
“Well, for the first match, let’s try using just 1,000 DP?”
Then, the announcer came out and briefly explained the order of the matches.
“Everyone, please start betting!”
Betting time began.
“Let’s see, since they’re wearing Demonic Energy Restraints, I have to judge based on their appearance.”
As Anubis said, if you could see their Demonic Energy, you could easily judge the winner of the match, so they were wearing restraints during the fight.
“I guess the one with more developed muscles would be stronger, right?”
Anubis carefully observed the two demons who had entered the Arena with serious eyes and said.
“You’re the one. Beast Demon!”
She chose the demon with bulging muscles.
