How Level Zero Devil Destroys Player Experience

"Then learn to control them. If Your Highness can't even control these people, how can you rule the dark camp, or even the entire world?" Hill said lightly.

But my only wish is not to be pushed down.

However, Hill was right about one thing. If the Demon King couldn't even do this, it would be better for him to surrender early.

I looked at the people in the hall in front of me and said, "Well...it's not impossible for you to join."

Before they could react, I spoke again.

"But I have conditions."

"Please give your orders, Your Majesty the Demon King." Claire was stunned. Although she didn't show it, one could clearly hear a hint of suppressed excitement in her tone.

The people behind him also showed excitement and quickly echoed him.

"First, you must swear not to betray me or the dark camp."

"Please rest assured, now that we have made the decision, we will not regret it."

"Second, you are not allowed to disobey my orders at will." I thought for a moment and added, "Of course, if there is something wrong, you can speak up."

But the other side did not hesitate at all.

"As long as it is your highness's order, we will do our best."

It seems quite simple.

I thought there would be some disputes among this group of people, but I didn't expect that things would be so easily resolved, and I felt relieved.

"Then thirdly, you are not allowed to have any improper thoughts about me... not even clothes or other things."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Don't keep silent about this kind of thing!!"

Chapter 139: Ballena Bunker

The bright sunshine shines on the back garden. The small round tea table is filled with exquisite snacks. If there is a pretty maid, it looks like a tea party hosted by a noble lady.

“What a leisurely life.”

I drank the black tea brewed by Hill and slowly savored the soft and delicious little cakes, playing the leading role very well.

Two days have passed since that night. During this time, I chose to stay in the Holy Light Monastery, enjoying the soft bed and delicious food.

But of course the identity was replaced by Claire's distant relative for those members of the monastery who were unaware of the situation.

As for why I could stay in the monastery with peace of mind even after Claire and some of her trusted followers chose to join me.

Of course, it is because they have not yet given up their belief in light. They have only signed a soul contract with themselves and will reverse their camp's position at the appropriate time later.

After all, the power of the Holy Light Monastery occupies a certain influence in the Orwyn Empire. If the top leaders disappear rashly, they will definitely be noticed, and then being suspected will probably cause a lot of trouble.

Furthermore, if Claire and the others were allowed to stay here in a normal capacity, he could continue to recruit some people for himself.

When she thought about the fact that the organization called Holy Light Hermitage, which was actually the Lolita Con Association, would continue to expand, she could not help but feel more and more worried about her chastity in the future.

But according to Hill, this was the only charm that attracted these people...

It seems a bit sad...

However, these may just be small excuses. The biggest key still lies in the message conveyed by a certain mastermind through Hill.

Yes, the most fundamental reason for the above is that Alice did not want to gain such a great power at the beginning of the game, so she took implicit intervention measures.

Although I know that this is done for the overall consideration of the operation of the era, I still can't help but complain.

"This welfare package is even more stingy than some unscrupulous officials."

After all, this is equivalent to working hard for an event reward for a long time, but only half of it is deducted when it is distributed. Anyone would be unhappy.

"By hard work, I mean you can get a bunch of high-level NPC fighters just by being cute, rubbing their faces and feeding them."

"Isn't it hard? That's the environment. It's like asking a novice to complete a game perfectly in a difficult environment."

"Want to try it? I have some loli-style ones."

"I want...I want shit, why are you here again!?"

Only then did I react. I was subconsciously startled when I saw a figure suddenly appear in front of me.

Alice seemed to have completely ignored my dislike, picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth, "Isn't it because you heard someone say bad things about me behind my back?"

"Huh, did I say something wrong?"

I really didn't feel the slightest bit of embarrassment about being caught in the act.

"So I'm sending you compensation." A certain blonde girl shrugged and changed to a very formal tone, "Due to the inconvenience caused to you by the technical error, I'm sending you a relevant compensation email to express my apology. Do you want to check it?"

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at Alice's boring taste, but of course I still had to accept it. "One click to receive, one click to delete."

Before I could finish my words, a box came crashing down on my head. I was so scared that I quickly reached out to catch it, "Are you going to kill someone..."

While complaining, I opened it curiously and found several rolls of drawings inside.

In addition to the cemetery building drawings that can revive monsters above the boss level, there are also twenty random monster nest drawings (levels 10-30).

Although this has largely solved the problem of insufficient combat power of the monsters under his command, but...

"Isn't this too stingy? At least give me a few cards of my own choice!" There's no point in giving me ten consecutive draws in this ordinary pool with no guarantee.

"Didn't you say I was an unscrupulous official?"

However, the other side seemed very righteous.

But having said that, Alice still reached out and changed five of the drawings into styles that she could choose from. This saved the little notebook that was about to be recorded in someone's mind.

"Come to think of it, isn't that situation a bit strange?" After receiving the drawings, I thought about it and couldn't help but ask.

I'm referring to the situation of Claire and others. The sudden rebellion of so many high-level NPCs seems a bit abnormal no matter how you look at it. Even the reason of lolita doesn't make sense.

After all, such a large force must involve a lot of data. How could it trigger a series of chains for such a simple reason?

What I didn’t expect was that Alice’s answer actually reminded me that the key lies in the previous paragraph.

"I also didn't expect that your theory of the Holy Light's true nature would involve so many emotional modules."

Alice showed a rare serious look. "Although I have increased the scope of the data module related to faith in order to simulate reality, being able to achieve this level also means that it perfectly matches the main data fluctuations."

"...In short, your theory is very close to the thinking model I set for them." Looking at me who looked confused, Alice couldn't help but twitched her eyes, "If you don't mind, can I integrate this theory into the belief module of Epoch?"

Because I just moved it from you, I thought silently, and didn't think much about his request, "Whatever you want."

"It turned out that choosing you as the Demon King was the right decision."

Alice sighed, casting an inexplicable look at him, "To be honest, to be able to create a theory of this system, you are not really working part-time as a saint of some organization, right?"

I laughed it off. "I just read some books to pretend to be better. I don't have the same bad taste as you..."

"Tsk, my mental module is very green and healthy."

"Isn't it a bad taste to have a bunch of lolicon in the Holy Light Faith? And how can someone with 100.5TB of mosaics in his head say this?"

"In a colorful and diverse world, there are always all kinds of people. That's what makes it real, isn't it?" Alice didn't feel the slightest bit ashamed, and added, "And let me correct you, it's now 101TB."

"I told you this is nothing to be proud of." I couldn't help but complain, "Damn, I feel like my mind is going to change color after being around a R255-G255-B0 model humanoid sprayer like you for too long."

"That's just your true nature showing, you perverted loli."

Alice gracefully drank the last sip of black tea and stood up from the seat in front of her and stretched. "Well, I should get back to work. By the way, I want to remind you that if you continue to be idle like this, you might become one of the 101TB."

"Pah, I'm working hard and I can at least get to 500TB."

"Just wait, I'll start painting tomorrow."

"Clawba."

Watching that pretty golden figure disappear, I couldn't help but curl my lips, but what the other party said was indeed the truth. If I continue to be so idle, I'm afraid the players' development speed will soon surpass me.

At least we should arrange the current tasks first.

As if sensing my thoughts, the air around me suddenly changed in a familiar way. I responded, "Are you back already, Hill? Have you finished your work?"

Unexpectedly, Hill, who was always reliable, shook his head.

This made me put down the tea in my hand and asked, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, the price of fire resistance potions on the market is much higher than normal. If we were to purchase those potion formulas as Your Highness requested, it would seriously exceed our budget."

"How could this happen?" I frowned.

Although it is known that the speedrun of Black Prison Forest has caused a surge in popularity for these items, the effectiveness of these fire resistance potions is simply not as good as that of redstone potions, their scope of application is too small, and normally the price would not be that high.

I had taken this into consideration, so I felt comfortable letting Hill acquire it, but I didn't expect this result to happen.

"I guess it's because the Barrona Bunker will be opened in a few days." Hilton paused and reminded, "Some adventurers have deduced from the books in the library that there should be high fire damage in the bunker, so the prices of most fire resistance potions on the market have doubled."

The Barena Bunker mentioned by Hill was a famous copy in the Orwin Empire in the previous life.

The reason why it is famous is that the equipment sets it produces can be regarded as top-grade in the early stage, and there is an obvious difference between them and ordinary silver equipment.

In addition to equipment, there are also a lot of materials produced inside, and most of them are necessary materials for rare potions.

If the clearance of other dungeons only affects the guild's reputation, then the progress of the Barena Bunker completely determines the current combat effectiveness of a guild's elite members.

In the eyes of the presidents of the major guilds, its importance is self-evident. This is even more so for me who has experienced it in my previous life, so I made plans long ago.

However, they did not expect that there would be problems in this critical link of the plan.

“The faction of textual research has started to emerge so soon.”

I frowned. In my previous life, it took at least several months for the books and materials in the library to be taken seriously. Could it be the result of the butterfly effect of my rebirth?

It was a bit difficult. Although special fire-resistant potions were needed to clear the Barena Bunker, this situation had seriously disrupted his plans.

But if you think about it carefully... there should be very little relevant background information to be found in the early stage of the game. Without sufficient evidence to support it, it might collapse easily...

My eyes rolled around, and a good idea came to my mind, and I whispered it into Hill's ear.

"Hill, just do this. Let Kasalia just think about the plot."

"Your Highness, don't you intend to do this important matter yourself?"

There was a hint of hesitation in Hill's grey eyes.

"I don't believe in Hill." I stood up and stretched, smiling slightly, "Besides, I have more important things to deal with."

Chapter 140: Encounter at Deep Mist Outpost (I)

Astana zone, Deep Fog Outpost.

This is a jungle located in the west of Gruin, close to the deep Star Canyon. It is surrounded by thick fog all year round. Once you enter it, you will get lost.

According to records in books, a long time ago, a wizard used powerful magic to build a mysterious tower deep in the jungle. This man's name was Loblanche, a legendary arcane wizard who had left a deep impression in dozens of epics.

Most of the powerful wizards in the era are a group of old monsters who are obsessed with various magical studies and try to find the mystery of its root. Their ideas seem to be similar to those of modern mathematicians to some extent, mysterious and profound.

Similarly, although Loblanche had profound attainments in the arcane, this did not prevent him from doing research in other fields. However, such a legendary wizard disappeared without a trace after the outbreak of the War of Light and Darkness hundreds of years ago, and no one knew where he went.

All of his research, equipment, and magic books were kept in this wizard tower. Over the past few hundred years, it was visited by many thieves, who took away a lot of property and research materials.

However, due to the mechanisms and illusions in the Mage Tower, many items were left behind.

"Hey, A-Mo, is there really a wizard tower here? Don't tell me it's just a rumor you heard from others and randomly wrote it down to make up the word count." Walking slowly in the jungle, Kong Xiangzou looked at the thick fog around him and couldn't help but complain to the person beside him.

This feeling of being invisible was very uncomfortable. She had never felt so uncomfortable even in the Shadow Swamp of the Black Prison Forest.

Zhen Mo beside him shook his head. "That's the official record of what happened in Astana. If even this is considered hearsay, then there's nothing to believe."

This is why the president of Starry Sky Myth asked him to lead the team here. The reason was that a brother in the guild who liked to study various game settings and backgrounds found information on this subject in the library.

The belongings left behind by the powerful and mysterious wizard were very attractive. In addition, the monsters in Deep Mist Outpost were only level 10-20, so they could handle them completely. Even if they didn't find the wizard tower, they could still level up here.

Having said that, Sora couldn't help but complain in his heart, "It's already great to be able to see the monster in such a thick fog."

However, just as she was thinking this, a sharp voice suddenly sounded beside her, and at the same time, a strong gust of wind attacked her.

"Something's going on. Warriors, defend the left side. Priests, cast Illumination."
