The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 51
Chapter 51: Dispatch Preparation (2)
『Shop Window』
[Artifact]
[Monster]
[Equipment]
[Food]
[Sale]
DP Owned: 10,000
‘Shall I buy it right away?’ Jung Minwoo, who had browsed the shop before going to bed, skillfully clicked and entered the Monster category.
[Goblin – 1 DP for 10]
[Nol – 1 DP for 10]
[Skeleton – 1 DP for 10]
.
.
.
‘I knew the prices because I checked yesterday, but it feels really cheap every time I see it.’ The DP got more expensive as the monsters got higher ranked, but pet monsters were quite cheap.
‘Considering that simple food is 1 DP, it’s practically free.’
Jung Minwoo entered the food category and checked the prices.
[Lowest-Grade Monster Fried Rice – 1 DP]
[Lowest-Grade Monster Noodles – 1 DP]
[Lowest-Grade Monster Steak – 1 DP]
.
.
.
‘The way they measure prices in the Demon World is different.’ Some might wonder how food could be more expensive than goblins, but…
‘Demons are immortal, so they don’t need to eat, that’s probably why.’
Food was a luxury for demons, so the price had to be different.
‘It’s a luxury, but it also helps a lot with stamina recovery.’
That’s why the training center provided food every time so that the cadets could show their full potential.
‘Well, shall we start buying in earnest?’
【You have purchased 8,000 DP worth of goblins】
8,000 DP.
He purchased a grand army of 80,000 with a single click.
‘Now that I’ve purchased goblins, shall we buy the artifact I saw yesterday?’
No matter how well trained they were, they wouldn’t be able to produce results in just one day.
Jung Minwoo searched through the Shop Window and found an artifact that would solve this problem.
T his w a s c o p i e d fro m k i n gm t l . o r g
[300-Day Time Room for Pet Monsters Only – 2,000 DP]
‘This will solve that problem.’ It was an incredible artifact that, when used in a space with only pet monsters, changed one day into 300 days.
‘300 days is more than enough time to train 80,000 goblins.’
Since the goblins he raised had shown such growth in just half a year, other goblins should be able to do the same.
【You have purchased the 300-Day Time Room for Pet Monsters Only for 2,000 DP】
‘This way, I’ve used all my DP.’
He spent all 10,000 DP with just two clicks of his finger.
Some might wonder what he would do about the goblins’ uniforms and food, but…
T his was cop ie d fr o m k ing m t l .o r g
‘It’s a good thing I produced an almost infinite amount of uniforms and food while I was at the training center.’
Th i s w a s c o p ie d f r o m kin g m t l .or g
He had already taken care of that at the training center, so there was no problem.
[Batch Receipt]
Then, as he clicked the ‘Batch Receipt’ button…
Swoosh—
The training ground started to flicker with black light.
Flash—
“””Kiek?”””
Simultaneously with the flash, 80,000 goblins appeared on the training ground.
‘It’s a spectacle.’
He couldn’t help but feel delighted at the sight of the overwhelming numbers.
‘This many troops is like a disaster.’
Even if they were untrained goblins, this many could easily wipe out a village.
‘It would be quite interesting if well-trained goblins attacked a kingdom.’
Earth had a huge population, but the ‘Yurain’ planet didn’t have that many people, just like during Earth’s medieval period.
T his w a s c o p i e d f r o m k ingm tl . org
In other words, if he used the Demon Servants and monsters well, he could easily get rid of his probationary status.
‘But before that, I need to survive the 3rd Rank demons.’
Jung Minwoo gave orders to the goblins wearing shoulder straps.
“Take the new goblins and get them dressed in uniforms.”
“””Kiek!”””
“And those of you with shoulder straps, you are promoted to Private. The goblins who are trainees are promoted to Corporal.”
The goblins cheered with shining eyes at the word ‘promotion’.
“I’ll be back in six months, so finish their training properly by then.”
“””Kiek!”””
The goblins pounded their chests as if to say, ‘Leave it to us’.
“You’re reliable.”
Jung Minwoo turned his gaze away from the goblins and looked at the artifact in his hand.
‘Is this the artifact I bought?’
As he infused demonic energy into the artifact…
Fizzle—
It turned to dust and disappeared.
【Activating the Time Room for Pet Monsters Only】
【The Time Room will activate when Jung Minwoo-nim leaves the space】
Message windows popped up.
‘It looks like it activates automatically when I leave.’
Jung Minwoo finished all his business and left the Personal Breeding Grounds.
As he returned to the office…
“Minwoo-nim, you’re here?”
The Demon Communion members were waiting for him, sitting at the long desk in the office.
“Yes, are you all done with your research?”
Jung Minwoo naturally sat down at the head of the table and asked the Demon Communion members if they had finished their work.
“Of course.”
“…Of course.”
“We did a great job investigating. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“I totally slept like a log.”
The Demon Communion members each expressed their confidence in different ways.
“Good, Venus first.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, Venus handed him a document and said,
“As you can see in the chart, the Demon Servants have grown about five times stronger.”
“Five times? That’s quite a steep growth.”
“Yes, after we left the ‘Yurain’ planet, the Demon Servants wandered around the city, hunting down evil people and humans from the religious order to gain strength.”
“They must have made enemies with the religious order.”
“No. On the contrary, the religious order is happy that those thorns in their side are gone.”
“…They’re happy?”
He looked at Venus with questioning eyes.
“The ones they killed were those who were doing dirty deeds or secretly accumulating wealth.”
Venus kindly explained.
“Hmm… There must still be some who are dissatisfied.”
No matter how evil the people they killed were, they were still part of the religious order, so there was bound to be backlash.
“Yes, that’s why a high-ranking priest has issued a wanted order.”
“I see.”
T h i s w as c op ied f r o m ki n gm tl . or g
Jung Minwoo, anticipating the danger they would soon face, pondered whether he should give them more demonic energy.
‘I’ll decide on this after killing the 3rd Rank demons.’
Postponing his worries, Jung Minwoo looked at Venus and said,
“Good work.”
“You’re welcome. I just did what I had to do.”
Then he turned his gaze to Elin.
“…Here’s the document.”
Elin walked up to him and handed him the document.
“…The place they are located is near the Verin Kingdom.”
“Verin Kingdom?”
“…Yes, it’s famous for its strong military.”
“Strong military… The Demon Servants could be in danger.”
At Jung Minwoo’s words, Elin shook her head and said,
“…The Verin Kingdom worships strength, so they don’t discriminate between races and Demon Servants. So it’s a safe place.”
“Hmm, that’s a relief then. What’s the surrounding terrain like?”
“…It’s made up of plains, and there’s a river nearby, so it’s a good place to live.”
“And?”
“…And the Holy Empire is nearby, but they don’t get along.”
“That makes sense.”
From the Holy Empire’s point of view, a country that accepts Demon Servants would be an eyesore.
“Good work.”
Jung Minwoo stroked Elin’s head.
“…Hehehe.”
A smile spread across Elin’s face.
T h i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k in g mt l . o rg
Crackle—
And as a bonus, Venus’ jealous gaze followed.
“Ahem, Rok?”
Jung Minwoo changed the subject and asked Rok.
“Here’s the document! Ribbit, ribbit.”
Rok handed him the document with a confident smile.
“As Elin just said, since the Verin Kingdom worships strength, they’ve offered to recruit the Demon Servants. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“What’s the Demon Servants’ response?”
“They’re still thinking about it. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Why are they hesitant?”
At Jung Minwoo’s question, Rok pointed to the document and said,
“While wandering around the city, they took in others who were in similar situations. Since these kids aren’t Demon Servants, they didn’t get a recruitment offer. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Hmm, considering the nature of Demon Servants, they must be concerned.”
Jung Minwoo nodded in understanding.
“Let’s take a look at the kids the Demon Servants brought in and consider making a contract with them if they have talent.”
“As it happens, there are a few who show promise in battle. It wouldn’t hurt to check them out. Ribbit, ribbit.”
“Really? That’s good.”
Just as all the reports were finished…
“Now that things are more or less settled, shall we head to the ‘Yurain’ planet right away?”
Jung Minwoo got up from his seat and suggested they leave immediately.
“Okay.”
“Let’s go!”
“…Okay.”
“Whew, I’m so nervous. Ribbit, ribbit.”
The Demon Communion members stood up with faces that were half excited and half worried.
“Let’s go to the Portal Station.”
They then moved to the Portal Station within the Demon Lord’s Castle.
“Hmm, new face. Are you a newbie? Submit your employee ID.”
A demon nonchalantly asked for his employee ID.
‘What’s with his attitude?’
Jung Minwoo frowned at the demon’s attitude and used ‘Heaven’s Eye’.
【Retrieving information on ‘Gorion’】
Then, Heaven’s Eye activated, and a new information window popped up.
『Information Window』
〈Basic Information〉
Name: Gorion
Gender: Male
Age: 6,800 years old
〈Detailed Information〉
T h i s w a s c o p i e d from k i n g m t l. o r g
Rank: 1st Rank
T h i s w a s c o p ie d f ro m k i n gm tl.o r g
Alignment: Evil
Unique Trait: Brain Revolution
Current Emotion: Boredom
After checking the rank, Jung Minwoo nodded to himself.
‘Yeah, it’s understandable he’s arrogant if he’s 1st Rank.’ Jung Minwoo took out the employee ID he received when he started working and said,
“Here you go.”
“Your affiliation is clear. Where are you going?”
This wa s c o pied fr o m ki n g mtl. o r g
“Yurain planet.”
“Yurain planet…”
The demon quickly typed on the typewriter and pressed Enter.
Whoosh—
A portal emitting blue light appeared in the air.
“You have the necklace you received at the training center, right?”
At the demon’s question, Jung Minwoo took out his necklace and said,
“Yes, here it is.”
“Return the old necklace and take a new one.”
“Is there a reason?”
“The coordinates on that necklace are set to the training center.”
Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members nodded, returned their necklaces, and put on new ones.
“Have a pleasant dispatch.”
Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k in g m tl . o r g
Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members then stepped into the portal, seeing off by the demon.
“Baal-nim, I just received information that the probationary demons have headed to the planet.”
Meanwhile, Baal was listening to his subordinate’s report that Jung Minwoo and the Demon Communion members were heading to the planet.
“Hmm, I thought it would take them quite a while to prepare, but they moved quickly.”
“I find that part a bit strange as well.”
“What’s strange about it? Satan must have noticed and given them a heads-up.”
At Baal’s words, the demon said with a contemplative expression.
“Then, shouldn’t we withdraw the operation?”
“Withdraw? Are you kidding me?”
“I-I apologize.”
Baal scoffed at the demon’s reaction and said.
“You seem to be unaware, but Satan will likely just sit back and watch.”
“Sit back and watch, you say?”
“Yes. That guy has an excessive amount of faith in his gut feeling.”
“…Gut feeling?”
Unable to understand the reason, the demon tilted his head in confusion.
“If he felt the situation was serious, he would have come to me.”
As a result of knowing Satan for a long time, Baal knew that if Satan thought he could handle it, he would leave it alone, and if he felt it would be difficult, he would visit Baal in advance to prevent it beforehand.
And the most annoying thing was that when Satan didn’t come to him, he would actually resolve the situation as if it were nothing.
“Anyway, you go and send three 3rd Rank demons to Yurain planet.”
“Three 3rd Ranks? Wouldn’t it be better to send 4th Ranks…?”
“…Since when did you start talking back to me? If you talk back to me one more time, you will die by my hand.”
“…I-I apologize.”
The demon bowed and hurriedly left the room, saying he would send the 3rd Ranks.
‘Satan… Let’s see if it goes as you planned this time.’
No matter how talented they were, in the end, they were just young chicks who had recently graduated from the training center.
‘Three 3rd Ranks will be enough.’
Baal was curious to see how Satan would react when the young chicks died.
“Satan, you will lose your young chicks because of your arrogance.”
