CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 202: THE DEMON KING IS A TREASURE TROVE_2

All around was quiet.

Seeing that Jelly had no reaction, Shami looked over quizzically.

Was there a problem with language communication?

Jelly: OvO||

The Elf Maiden tugged at Shami’s sleeve.

"Hey, Shami, could Jelly think you’re talking about it in code?"

"Ah, no, that’s not it, it’s for another reason."

Seeing Jelly appear nervous and sweating, Shami explained the reason clearly.

Only then did Jelly understand, realizing it wasn’t here to be held accountable.

It looked around the surroundings before finally stepping forward itself.

"What’s going on, you searched all around and in the end chose yourself? What can I say about you all, even the entire Slime Tribe couldn’t cultivate a single distinctive Slime."

Shami sighed.

"What the heck, no Slime Leader trains dumb Slimes on purpose. All the Slimes Shami mentioned with negative traits have already been eliminated through normal development."

The Elf Maiden stood protectively in front of Jelly, speaking on its behalf.

At this moment, a gel screen seemed to form on Jelly’s large blue belly, made of flowing tree sap, displaying different images in sequence.

Jelly eating wild vegetables; Jelly fighting the Elf Maiden neck and neck; Jelly napping under the sun; Jelly with a question mark appearing above it.

Corresponding to the traits Shami mentioned earlier one by one.

The Slime Leader was seriously fighting for a chance for itself.

"What’s this, fighting me to a draw means not being aggressive? It’s clearly saying I’m weak! Absurd!"

The Elf Maiden used a Weak Punch, hammering Jelly’s belly.

"No way, you’re too big. If Rooney sees you, he’ll think I’m cultivating a monster. I need a small Slime."

Shami shook his head.

Hearing this, Jelly blinked its blue eyes, and its enormous body began to emit a blue light, like a burst in the night forest.

[Slime Secret Skill: Technique of Emptying Oneself!]

The next moment, the light faded, and over a hundred Slimes appeared on the clearing.

And Jelly itself shrunk from the giant Slime to a small Slime at knee height to Shami.

Just like a level 1 Slime.

"Did it split all the Slimes inside itself at once?"

Shami looked around at the newly split Slimes, surprised.

Jelly jumped, rubbing against Shami’s knee.

"So cute~! Just like puppies, they’re always the cutest when they’re little!"

The Elf Maiden was already enchanted, squatting down to vigorously pet Jelly.

"Shami, take Jelly with you."

Shami quietly looked around.

For the Demon King’s mission, Jelly, by sacrificing yourself like this, you have gained the Demon King’s approval.

Indeed, in some ways, Jelly was the best choice.

Though its size had decreased, it was still a Slime with level 47 intelligence, able to understand Shami’s words.

And though its strength would decrease as its size did, Shami didn’t rely on Jelly for combat anyway.

Besides, the Wisteria Tree Spirit was idle now, might as well let him help take care of the Slime Tribe.

Plus, the Minotaur Tribe with pink bulls was stationed on the perimeter, making it almost risk-free here.

"Alright, then it’s decided, Jelly!"

——

After taking Jelly to Saint Karno City, Shami bought a special pet box at the pet market to carry Jelly around.

Now there were only two days left until the school term began.

Shami and the four girls were all preparing for the school term, while also gradually adapting to life in Saint Karno City.

But such leisurely and peaceful life was based on one premise—their identities had not been exposed.

If their second identities were revealed, it would definitely cause an uproar.

So, while preparing for school, Shami was also working on related safety measures.

The most important of which was how to safely leave Saint Karno City in case of identity exposure.

In recent days, Shami felt like there was something missing from this gigantic, bustling city.

Soon, he knew what was missing—demons!

Around Saint Karno City, apart from unidentifiable Tree Spirits, there were no other types of demons at all.

No wonder so much security was lacking.

Demons could play an important role when they needed to leave, helping disrupt city order, blocking pursuit by adventurer squads, etc.

Shami opened the Demons Atlas, deciding to resurrect another type of demon to place on the plain where Saint Karno City was located for emergencies.

Currently, Shami possessed the following demons: Slime, Tree Spirit, Skeleton Soldier, Goblin, Minotaur Warrior.

But the truly combat-capable ones were only the Slime and Minotaur Warrior.

And all five demons were land units.

It was also time to resurrect some non-land units.

Shami thought it over.

In the plains where Saint Karno City was located, there was human activity in every spot, even deep in the mountains, where you might see noble caravans on excursions, adventurer teams exploring, or young couples seeking thrills in the wild.

Land units were the easiest targets to spot.

Sky units were harder to spot comparatively, but in these plains, there were no suitable places to survive. Furthermore, though the plain was over two thousand meters in altitude, the UV strength wasn’t high because the atmosphere was dense with magic aura.

Whether sky units could be detected by magic aura was another issue.

Shami flipped through the Demons Atlas, finally aiming at marine units.

The forests and plains around Saint Karno City contained many lakes of varying sizes, serving as ideal hiding spots.

The definition of marine units was broad, including almost any demon living in water.

"Found it, the mundane Fishman Race!"

Shami quickly found the type of demon he was seeking.

He opened the Demons Atlas, locating the first species of mundane demon, preparing for a closer look.

At this time, several girls who went out to buy daily supplies returned.

Shami put the Demons Atlas back into the Demon King Ring.

"Shami, if you had come with us, you could’ve enjoyed the fun of shopping."

"I’d only become a free bag-carrier!"

Once the four girls sat down, Shami recalled the earlier incident.

On his task list, he had as many as three pages of limited-time tasks to complete, which he definitely couldn’t finish alone, so he needed to assign these tasks to the four Demon Envoy girls.

By doing this, not only could they receive rewards for completing tasks, but the Demon Envoy girls could also improve themselves through tasks.

"Everyone, in the future, there will be many tasks sent to you. Please balance them with your studies and complete as many tasks as possible."

"Will there be additional benefits?"

The Elf Maiden looked over eagerly.

"Of course, there will be plenty of rewards."

Shami naturally replied.

During a breakfast meeting a few days ago, Shami noticed the four girls seemed particularly interested in rewards like the Demon King Massage.

Appeal to their interests to manage them well.

Since everyone liked these sorts of things, he might as well offer them openly.

"Additionally, we’re now supplementing the task reward system with new options."

"Eh?"

The four girls were all drawn by Shami’s words.

"After completing a task, you’ll have a chance to get a reward, and if your task quality is particularly outstanding, you could get an extra precious [Demon King Massage Coupon]."

The four girls went silent.

"Who would want such a thing..."

The Elf Maiden was already speaking clumsily, her eyes avoiding contact.

Even if she didn’t really want such things, she was born to be good at tasks, so there was no helping it.

"Of course. In the future, I’m planning to launch some customized [Cooking Service Coupon], [Fitness Private Tutor Coupon], [Look at Abs Coupon], [Airborne Accompanying Play Coupon], etc., crafted by the leaders themselves."

The four girls’ eyes were shining.

"Turning your services completely into products!"

In fact, the Demon King’s whole body was full of treasures, hence the value as products.

"What’s an Airborne Accompanying Play Coupon?"

"It’s literal—it means landing in your location using a Teleportation Gate."

It seemed exhilarating!

"Of course, if you have ideas, you can also propose other types of [coupons]."

"By the way, if you perform well at school, you could earn these very valuable coupons too."

"So, you four, make sure to do well in the new semester."
