The Demon Goes to Work Today As Well - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Special Planet (1)

Jung Minwoo, who came out of the personal breeding grounds, immediately headed to the conference room.

‘They must be busy researching data by now.’

It had been about 2 hours since he left, so they would be engrossed in researching data.

‘I should go and help them.’

He had to finish investigating the planet before launching an invasion, so he had to finish the work quickly.

As he moved quickly,

‘I’m already here.’

He was able to arrive at the conference room in no time.

‘Shall we go in?’

Knock, knock―

Jung Minwoo opened the door to the conference room with a simple knock and went inside.

‘Hmm?’

And Jung Minwoo, who entered the conference room, couldn’t help but look around with a bewildered look.

‘Where did everyone go?’

It was because no one was sitting in the conference room.

‘I thought at least one person would be there.’

Jung Minwoo felt puzzled and went out of the conference room and walked down the hallway.

Thud, thud, thud.

He could see the Head Butler walking from afar.

‘I can ask the Head Butler.’
Thi s w a s c o pi ed f r om k i n g m tl . o r g

As Jung Minwoo approached the Head Butler to ask about the whereabouts of the Demon Communion members,

“Ah, Great Master-nim, you were here!”

The Head Butler, as if he had been looking for him, let out a sigh of relief and spoke to him.

‘Why is he sweating so much?’

The Head Butler, who had always been calm and collected, was unusually nervous today.

‘Is it because of the play today?’

He had performed a play in front of many demons today, so he might still be feeling nervous.

‘It’s not common to perform a play in front of Demon Lords.’

Jung Minwoo dismissed it lightly and was about to ask about the location of the Demon Communion members when,

“Lucifer-nim has visited the mansion.”

An unexpected sound came out of the Head Butler’s mouth.

T h i s w a s c op i e d f ro m k i n gm tl .or g
‘Lucifer visited the mansion?’

There had been no major confrontation with Lucifer, so he was curious as to why he had come.

‘Did Satan send him?’

Unless it was a being like the Demon Lord, there was no demon who could move him, so Jung Minwoo guessed that Satan had sent him.

“How long has he been waiting?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, the Head Butler wiped his sweat with a handkerchief and replied.

“About 1 hour and 50 minutes.”

In other words, he came after he entered the personal breeding grounds.

‘He must have waited a long time…?’

Considering Lucifer’s personality, he didn’t think it would be good news.

Jung Minwoo let out a shallow sigh inwardly and said to the Head Butler.

“Let’s move.”

“I will guide you.”

So, guided by the Head Butler, he entered the reception room.

“…You finally came.”

He could see Lucifer sitting on a chair with a bored look.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting.”

When he bowed his head and apologized,
Th i s w as c o p i e d f r o m k i ngm t l.o r g

“It’s fine. I heard you went to the personal breeding grounds, so I have no intention of blaming you.”

Lucifer accepted the apology with a bored look.

‘He’s surprisingly quiet about it.’

Jung Minwoo just nodded at the unexpected reaction.

“Sit down. I have something to tell you.”

“Okay.”

Then, as he sat across from Lucifer,

“The Demon Lord-nim has given you a planet list, saying it will be helpful to you.”

Lucifer said, pulling out a document envelope from subspace.

“…A planet list?”

“To be precise, it’s a special planet list.”

As if he had seen through his mind, Satan had sent him exactly what he needed.

“To convey the Demon Lord-nim’s words, he said it would be helpful because he carefully selected the planets.”

“I see.”

“Check it out later.”

“Thank you.”

Jung Minwoo received the document envelope and glanced at the contents inside.

‘There are about five sheets.’

He could see that the information about the planets was written in detail.

“The Demon Lord-nim said that these are the planets he was saving for his own invasion, so you must win the bet.”

At Lucifer’s following words, Jung Minwoo replied with a confident smile.

“Of course.”

At Jung Minwoo’s answer, Lucifer chuckled and got up from his seat, saying,

“Then, good luck.”

Just as he was about to leave the reception room,

“Oh, and thank you for giving Baal a taste of his own medicine. It felt like a 1,000-year-old indigestion went away.”

Lucifer mentioned what had happened in the banquet hall and expressed his gratitude.

‘He must have felt really good.’

Seeing his brightened expression, he could tell that Lucifer really disliked Baal.

‘Well, it’s good for me if he thinks well of me.’

Just as Jung Minwoo was about to reply that he had only done what he had to do,

【Your bond with ‘Lucifer’ has deepened, allowing you to copy the unique trait ‘Pride’.】

A message window popped up saying that he could copy Lucifer’s unique trait.

‘Our bond has deepened?’

Surely, as Lucifer was in the position of Proxy, the effect of his unique trait would also be outstanding.

“Haha, I just did what I had to do.”

Jung Minwoo showed humility and at the same time used ‘Heaven’s Eye’ on Lucifer.

“Then, I’ll be going.”

As Lucifer went outside, Jung Minwoo checked his unique trait ‘Pride’.

【Pride】

When facing an opponent who is not recognized as superior, you receive a significant boost to all stats.
T h is wa s c o p i e d f r om ki n g mt l . o r g

‘A significant boost to all stats…?’

He didn’t know how much the boost would be, but

‘The effect is crazy for sure.’

He had only seen ‘enhancement’ or ‘boost’ effects until now, so it wasn’t difficult to imagine that the effect would be tremendous.

‘I want to see how much it increases.’

His body itched with the desire to check Lucifer’s unique trait, but

‘The urgent matter is the planet, so I should check the unique trait later.’

He only had one year, so there was no time to leisurely experiment with the unique trait.

‘I’m sure there will be another opportunity to check it later.’

After finishing his thoughts, Jung Minwoo got up from his seat and said,

“Shall we go to the conference room to look at the planets?”

At Jung Minwoo’s suggestion, the Demon Communion members nodded and got up from their seats one after another.

As soon as they arrived at the conference room,

‘Let’s see.’

Jung Minwoo took out the documents from the envelope and spread them out on the desk.

First, he picked up one and checked the contents.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f r om ki n g m t l. o rg

『Taikan』

― Time flow is 2 times faster.

― A planet inhabited only by the Elf race.

― A place with many lush forests.

― Pigeons occupy about 5/10 of the planet. (1 5th Rank Pigeon, 100 8th Rank Pigeons residing) ― No demons.

The information about the planet was written in quite detail.

‘A time flow that’s 2 times faster… This alone is a blessing.’ It certainly looked good from the first planet, as Satan had carefully selected it.

‘Let’s see the next one.’

『Laraco』
Th i s w as c o pi e d f ro m k i n g m t l. or g

― Time flow is 5 times faster.

― Dwarf civilization is developed.

― A considerable amount of ore is buried.

― Pigeons occupy about 6/10 of the planet. (5 4th Rank Pigeons, 200 7th Rank Pigeons residing) ― Demons occupy about 4/10 of the planet. (10 5th Rank Demons, 50 6th Rank Demons residing) This place had a faster time flow than the previous planet, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no room for him to intervene.

‘I should exclude Laraco planet.’ He then looked at the next planet.

『Cocoking』

― Time flow is 50 times faster.

― A lifeless planet.

‘Why did he even include this kind of planet?’ Jung Minwoo clicked his tongue inwardly and turned the paper over to check the next planet.

『Nesli』

― Time flow is 100 times faster.

― There are living organisms, but no higher beings.

‘…’ Seeing a similar planet as before, his head felt like it was pounding.

‘It seems like there’s no choice but to choose Taikan planet?’

T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l . o r g
However, there was still one planet left, so he decided to make a decision after looking at it.

『Dainik』

― Time flow is 20 times faster.

― Inhabited by various races.

― ‘Humans’, ‘Elves’, and ‘Dwarves’ have formed a unique civilization.

― Abundant in mana.

― Pigeons occupy about 9/10 of the planet. (1 2nd Rank Pigeon, 1,000 9th Rank Pigeons residing) ― No demons.

‘…Not bad.’ Jung Minwoo’s eyes lit up as he looked at the paper that said ‘Dainik’.

T h i s w a s c o p ie d fr o m k i ng m t l . o r g
‘The time flow is good.’

The fact that the time flow was 20 times faster meant that 1 year would be extended to 20 years, which was quite attractive.

‘And there are higher beings.’

The fact that various races had formed a civilization also seemed appealing.

‘But occupying 9/10 of the planet means they’re almost on the verge of taking over the entire planet, right?’

However, the only thing that bothered him was the fact that the Pigeons were on the verge of taking over the planet.

‘There’s also the Human race, so it’s not bad…’

But when he actually tried to choose, he hesitated because of the Pigeons.

‘A 2nd Rank Pigeon must have a considerable amount of Holy Power.’

He had experience defeating a 6th Rank Pigeon, but the Pigeon on Dainik planet was 4 Ranks higher than that.

‘It’s a shame to give up.’

If he kept worrying like this, it would never end, so Jung Minwoo decided to ask the Demon Communion members for their opinions.

“Which of these five planets do you think is good?”

At Jung Minwoo’s question, Venus, who was looking at the documents, opened her mouth.

“I think ‘Dainik’ planet looks good.”

“Why?”

“It’s not just because of the fast time flow, but most importantly, because there’s the Human race, which is our specialty.”

As she said, it would be much easier to corrupt humans whom they already had experience with and invade the planet than to corrupt a race they had never encountered before.

“…I also think ‘Dainik’ planet is good.”

Elin then cautiously raised her hand, supporting Venus’s opinion.

T hi s wa s co p i ed f rom k i n gm tl.or g
“Why?”

“…We have to choose between ‘Taikan’ and ‘Dainik’, but we can’t corrupt the Elves in just 2 years, so I chose ‘Dainik’.”

As Elin explained, Elves had a longer lifespan than humans, so they were leisurely in their actions and it took a long time to corrupt them.

“What do you guys think?”

Jung Minwoo asked Anubis and Rok for their opinions.

“I’m all for invading Dainik planet! It’s a bit concerning that they’ve occupied 9/10 of the planet, but we’ve already defeated a Pigeon before, haven’t we? Ribbit, ribbit.”

Rok expressed his agreement, and

“I agree~ Except for the 2nd Rank, the other Pigeons are all small fry, so it’ll be easy to deal with them.”

Anubis also expressed her support for invading ‘Dainik’ planet.

So, all 4 votes were in favor of invading ‘Dainik’ planet.

‘My thoughts were too complicated.’

Seeing them, he realized that he was the only one who was overthinking things.

‘I guess I was subconsciously feeling pressured about the bet.’

He had pretended to be calm, but it would be a lie to say that he didn’t feel any pressure, as his rank would drop if he lost.

‘Even if it’s a game in my favor, there’s no guarantee that I’ll win.’

However, after hearing the opinions of the Demon Communion members, the pressure melted away like snow.

‘There’s no way we can lose if we’re together.’

With geniuses who excelled in their respective fields gathered together, there was no way they could lose even if they wanted to.

‘I still have a long way to go.’

Jung Minwoo, pulling himself together, looked at the Demon Communion members and said,

“Okay, let’s invade ‘Dainik’ planet.”

So, it was unanimously decided to invade ‘Dainik’ planet.
