Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 374: If you don’t have money, how can you be a devil king?

In the past, when Huihui just graduated from the Red Prison Academy, she went through a period of time where she couldn't find a suitable job and had to stay at home.

At that time, Broly accompanied the other party to Soket's divination hut to do divination about his future career.

The result of the professional divination at that time was the Demon King. Soket never understood why it was the Demon King, but now he got a similar picture as the one he got in the past divination, and everything was connected.

“Meihui became the new generation of Demon King for world peace. Her name is [Red], which is the closest to the fiery color when the explosion magic blooms. It also means her identity as a red demon. The new demon army under her will be called the Red Demon Army by the world in the future…”

After connecting the two divinations of the past and the present, Miss Sokett was able to see more pictures of the future.

She raised her hand and pointed at the group of people around her, and began to report their identities in the future Red Devil Army.

“Bone Dragon Knight (Little Princess Alice), Heavy Armored Barrier (Darkness), Frost Lich (Wiz), Logistics Minister (Yoyo), Two-Faced Evil God (Aqua, Eris), Ultimate Destruction Weapon (Broly)…”

According to Miss Soket's prediction, everyone present had a vest with a special code in the future Red Devil Army.

Even the old devil and his daughter were rehired as instructors of the Red Devil Army's monster troop, and Xiaomi became the commander of the demon troop.

"Ah, is this true? Can I really become the Demon King as I wish?!"

Huihui's breathing quickened as she listened to this. She could already imagine her future as the Crimson Devil King.

By then, no one would continue to say that she was just a delivery girl in a magic item store, a ridiculous Crimson Demon with a problem in the brain who daydreamed about practicing explosion magic to the best level in the world!
“Well, this is just the information obtained from the prophecy. I don’t know whether you can become the Crimson Devil King, Huihui. After all, the future is no longer a predetermined destiny the moment it is predicted.”

Soket told the truth.

"Then what should I do to successfully become the great Red Devil King?"

Huihui's eyes were shining. She grabbed Soket's hands, came closer and asked.

“I don’t know, you have to ask yourself, of course, maybe other people will have their opinions.

My divination can only predict the general future results, but not every detail that will lead to the results. "

Miss Sawquette explained.

“However, the only thing that is certain is that the world’s originally war-torn future has changed.

As for whether it will change for the better or for the worse, it depends on the efforts of those who live in the present, such as sticking to their own choices. "

she added.

"Okay, I will stick to my original choice. Everyone, I want to become the Demon King and conquer the world!"

Huihui was already in an excited state, waving her cloak with her arms, and publicly announced that after becoming the Demon King, she would carry out an ambitious plan to conquer the world.

"Oh, that's the case. I can only see a future of ruins, Megumin. You will be assassinated, and Broly will kill all those who assassinate you. Only a few people will survive."

Sokett predicted according to Huihui's words, and without knowing the additional condition of the Crystal Palace, he obtained a future picture of the world where only a few people survived.

Huihui: "..."

Soket's words made the Crimson Demon girl, who was in an excited state and was showing off her ambitions, suddenly stop talking.

"Ahem, everyone, let's discuss how we can make this world a better place while allowing me to become the Great Red Devil King!"

Huihui coughed twice and started a new topic.

"Then why don't we discuss making this world a better place without letting you, Huihui, become the Crimson Devil King?"

Aqua looked over and asked.

"Uh-huh……"

Darkness nodded in agreement with her words.

"That's of course because my future of not being able to become the Red Devil King is not a good future. Even if this world will be at peace, it will definitely not be a good world!"

Huihui answered decisively.

There are many possibilities for the future, but Huihui feels that the future in which she can become the Crimson Devil King is the best possibility.

Whether the world will be peaceful in the future or not will be secondary to whether she can become the Red Devil King in the future.

Only the world peace that comes after she becomes the Red Devil King will be the most meaningful and beautiful!
"You selfish bastard!"

Hearing this, Aqua started to criticize. She didn't even care about Axis's teachings, so naturally she couldn't stand people like Huihui who had no bottom line and didn't care about herself more than herself.

"Broly, you will consider my future happiness and stand firmly on my side, right?"

Huihui didn't respond to Aqua's words at all. She blinked her red eyes and moved closer to the boy. She rested her head on the child's shoulder, acting like a little bird and started to act coquettishly.

Broly: "..."

He looked at Aqua.

"Meihui, you are such a despicable person, you actually want to get Broly to support you!"

Aqua gritted her teeth.

"I'm his wife. A wife depends on her husband. What's the problem with that? Aqua, didn't you also rely on Broly to successfully ascend to the position of the Lord of Heaven?!"

Huihui glared and said righteously that there was no reason why Aqua could rely on Broly to become the main god, but she couldn't rely on Broly to become the Crimson Demon King.

These two funny guys stared at each other.

"Please, no matter what method you use, please prevent that terrible future of war from happening!"

Eris requested sincerely.

“There’s no better way now, right? Aqua, you have a respectable job as a goddess, so you should give way to Megumin, who is just a delivery girl now. She wants to be a demon king very much, but it’s been too long since she got a respectable job.”

Darkness then turned against them and started to persuade them, saying that Huihui's job as a deliveryman was different from Youyou's job as a pharmacy apprentice. Those were professions with no room for advancement, and it would be ok for any outsider to take over.

If we judge social status by job type, Aqua, as the goddess of heaven, has the highest social status, while people like Megumin are on the verge of being unemployed and are just waiting to die in the family business.

"Oh, that's true. Then I will be merciful and not bother with you."

Now that she had a way out, Aqua didn't want to embarrass her own disciple, so she said this.

"Hey, that's not why I want to be the Red Devil so much!"

Huihui quickly retorted, but the tears welling up in her eyes made her words unconvincing.

“Alright, alright, let’s discuss business. How can we make Huihui the Crimson Devil King and how can we change the future of Zhanluan?”

Youyou took out a handkerchief to wipe Huihui's tears and said something.

"Being a demon king is relatively simple. As long as the red demons are willing, the whole tribe will support her."

The old devil actually didn't want to attend this kind of meeting, but considering that if others didn't become devils, he might take the blame, so he actively gave his suggestions.

"Isn't this a bit difficult? Although it is for world peace, not everyone is willing to play the role of a super villain and become the greatest enemy of mankind."

Princess Alice thought that it would be difficult to convince other Crimson Demons to get involved, so she took the lead in raising this issue.

"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?"

Then, little Princess Alice received the attention of everyone including Broly, except the two guard girls around her.

“Your Highness Alice, you are friends with Huihui and Youyou, but you may not be familiar with the situation of the Crimson Demons.”

Darkness was the first to break the strange silence and explained to Princess Alice.

"Um……"

Youyou nodded aside, agreeing with this very much.

"I tell you, if I bring up this opportunity to become the enemy of the world, there will probably be a bunch of idle people in the village who are willing to help me."

Huihui said confidently.

“Hui Hui and the others really like to infuse themselves with a special identity.”

Broly nodded beside him and gave some examples.

"For example, the owner of the evil eye, the bandaged hand sealing a terrifying thing, and there is another self inside the body."

"Things that are very dangerous and difficult for ordinary people to decide on may be something that the Crimson Demons would love to have. Your Highness Alice, you have to understand that the Crimson Demons are not ordinary people. Their brain circuits are usually different from those of ordinary people."

"Hey, Darkness, you're talking as if we are weird people with problems in our brains."

Huihui glanced over.

"Ah, I didn't say that. I was praising you, the Crimson Demons, for being a supernatural race!"

The knight girl quickly denied it.

"Anyway, convincing my people to join the Red Devil Army won't be a problem at all."

"Yes, as long as you pay, it's not a problem."

Soket agreed with Huihui’s words.

"Hey, you still need money?"

Huihui quickly looked over and asked.

"If I don't pay you, do I still need to work for love? It's common for our people to like extraordinary people, but life is still about food, clothing, housing, and transportation, which all cost money. Otherwise, Huihui, why do you think I should do the job of a fortune teller?"

Soket said as a matter of course.

Spiritual pursuits are spiritual pursuits, and real life is real life. The Red Demons are relatively unconcerned about this. Even if there are Red Demons who are obsessed with their own set personalities, they will usually find a simple and normal job.

For example, you can guard the village gate, become a fishing old man, be a magic cooking chef, open a fortune-telling shop and become a world-renowned top fortune-teller.

Although Huihui is from the younger generation in the village, if she wants to recruit villagers to join the future Red Devil Army, it is not enough to just paint a rosy picture of how excellent the super villain members are. She also needs to have the material basis to provide bread and milk and pay everyone's wages.

But does Huihui have the material foundation?
She is nothing, a delivery girl, and her daily expenses are supported by Broly's dividends from the magic tool shop.

She didn't have the financial resources to support someone who suddenly wanted to change his job and become a demon king and gather an army of his own people to support him in becoming a demon king.

Therefore, Huihui, who had some small eyes, couldn't help but look at the Saiyan boy she depended on, but Broly also frowned at this time.

If he were in this world, it would be no problem for him to support such an army, but if he were not in this world, he would not be able to think of a good way to support such an army.

But then again, if he could stay in this world for a long time, he wouldn't need the Crimson Demons, right?

Seeing Broly's dilemma, Huihui looked at the others.

"The magic item shop is profitable, but not enough to sustain an army."

Miss Lich said quickly.

"Don't look at me. I won't give you the money for the wine."

Aqua made her statement directly.

"Ah, I'm only the eldest daughter of the Dustinis family, and the heiress as well. The family is not mine yet."

"But it will always be yours from now on, right?"

"Even if it's mine, I can't use my family fortune to fully support you in becoming the Demon King. At most, I can only support you for a while."

"How much is it?"

"A few million eris."

Darkness made the offer somewhat reluctantly.

"Is this enough?"

Huihui looked at Soket and asked.

"Well, this is probably the money I can earn from going out."

Miss Fortune replied that she was still very popular.

But the subtext is that it is not enough. Let alone other people, just look at Huihui's parents. The cost of making magic tools for them was hundreds of thousands when they were poor before, not to mention now, the cost starts from millions or even tens of millions of Eris.

Huihui turned her gaze to the great goddess of luck in silence. You know, Erisk is also the goddess of wealth in this world, and her portrait is engraved on the surface of gold, silver and copper coins.

"I am only revered as the goddess of wealth by believers, but my job is still that of the goddess of luck."

Eris explained.

"Then can't you mobilize your believers to support me? This is for the future of this world."

Huihui believes that becoming a demon king is not just her business (a poor person), but something that others also need to help.

She wanted to become the Red Devil King for the sake of world peace. Poverty made her engage in self-hypnosis and cognitive confirmation.

If she really has no money, Huihui can only succumb to reality. No matter how reluctant she is, she will give up the unrealistic idea of ​​paying to become a demon king.

"If we could mobilize the believers, there wouldn't be any war."

Aqua complained.

"Well, if we do this, the future will become a struggle between divine power and royal power."

Miss Sawquette did another divination and then answered.

With the blessing of the goddess of luck, she can even predict the future of the two goddesses who have entered the mortal world.

The war has not changed, only the object of the war has changed.

The war between the three kingdoms turned into a war between the other two kingdoms against the ancient Kingdom of Belzer, whose state religion was the Religion of Eris.

The struggle between nations turned into a struggle between theocracy and royal power.

"Then again, if you have the money, why not just give it directly to Her Highness Alice? The original trigger for the war was that the Kingdom of Elrod refused to continue to provide military support to the Kingdom of Belzer, and even joined forces with the Kingdom of Bradru to target the Kingdom of Belzer, which led to the war."

Darkness suddenly said.

“Hey, that seems to work.”

Soket's eyes lit up, and he found a new way to change the future.

Although money is not omnipotent, enough of it can indeed solve some problems.

For example, easing conflicts and allowing the issue to be resolved in a smoother manner.

"Ah, are you going to leave me alone?"

Hearing this, Huihui immediately became unhappy and started yelling.

"Hey, you old man, don't you have any good ideas?"

Old Demon King: “…”

This is the rhythm of your gold coins exploding.

Thinking of this, the old demon king explained: "In the past, our demon army also needed to rely on farming by the lower-level demons to support ourselves. In addition, sometimes we were able to break through human cities and demand war reparations from the human kingdom, so we could persist."

"Oh, yes, there is also this trick!"

Huihui suddenly realized.

She wants to be a devil, not a good woman.

If you have no money, won’t you blackmail the human kingdom?

With this idea in mind, the girl's eyes changed and became like those of a street urchin.

Huihui was a little deflated. She came to Princess Alice and grabbed her by the collar. Her voice started to take on the Yakuza's tongue-twisting sound.

"Kuola, this is for your country, give me money, do you understand?!"

Little Princess Alice: “…”

Others had a sense of déjà vu.

After thinking about it carefully, I realized that this is exactly the style of the saint that Axis taught just now.
