Chapter 9 Set a Small Goal

When they are unlucky, some people will believe in the metaphysics of the law of conservation of luck, which means that when luck is good, there will be bad luck, and vice versa.

But since it is said to be metaphysics, it actually doesn’t have much credibility. After all, luck is invisible and intangible. Apart from believing in metaphysics, there is no other way to comfort myself...

However, Pei Renli felt that he had indeed bottomed out.

In the Castle of Horror, he almost turned into a literal scumbag, and almost had his eyes opened in a physical sense by a ghost. The process was horrifying, but he didn't suffer any injuries and came back intact.

Philuffy said that there are only two ways to escape from the Scary Castle. One is that the number of people reaching the top reaches a certain number, and the other is that the number of remaining participants falls below the predetermined number.

I feel that the possibility of the latter is relatively high. It only took Pei Renli less than 10 minutes from the time he entered the horror castle to the time he came out. It didn't take long. Compared with the number of people who believed in 'crossing the finish line', I still felt that I was eliminated.

It's more likely when there are enough people.

The text message notification sound he heard before was actually a clearance prompt sent by the Demon King system. Compared with those unlucky ones, Pei Renli's luck was indeed bottomed out.

Speaking of the Demon King system, the words 'Initialization completed, full functions unlocked' were displayed on the interface. After a few seconds, the words disappeared, and the name and level were still written on the left and a large hourglass with a re-timer on the right.

But now, there is an additional option under name and level.

'Reputation: 0'

The word "reputation" is like a button that can be clicked. When you touch it with your finger, two submenus immediately pop up, saying "ability" and "item" respectively.

Under each sub-menu is a long list of things that don't feel very powerful, but now they are displayed in gray, probably because they need reputation exchange, because Pei Renli's reputation is 0, so they are all gray.

The ranking part cannot be clicked, it is simply displayed just like the name and level.

Other than that, there are no other changes to the Demon King system.

"hiss……!"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon King, please forgive me."

"Don't be so nervous, just be gentle, just a little bit gentle."

After hearing what Pei Renli said, Ravna got up from her half-kneeling position and used gauze to apply medicine to Pei Renli again.

It happened to be summer when he traveled through time, and he was wearing half-sleeves, cropped pants, and sandals. He just fell down several times in the horror castle, leaving a lot of bruises and abrasions, and he was also wrapped up

dust.

Upon seeing this, Ravna immediately ordered those magical creatures called Puni that looked like toy pandas to go out to find herbs. Ravna personally used a tool similar to pounding garlic to grind it into a paste, and then used gauze to treat Pei Renli.

of wounds.

To be fair, Pei Renli initially rejected this herbal medicine that had no guarantee at all. However, after applying it to the wound, he did feel considerable pain relief. Besides, he didn't bring a band-aid or anything.

This is a different world, and there might be some weird germs there. It would be too bad if he gets infected and dies, so he can only let Ravna rub him black and blue.

Speaking of which, the viruses in Pei Renli's body that have experienced vaccine resistance are not easy to deal with. It feels that they may cause a dimensionality-reducing blow to the medical system here...

That's not important, let's get back to business.

After Ravna finished applying the medicine, Pei Renli asked:

"Shouldn't there be only one Demon King? What's going on in the Demon King Arena?"

"The world you are in is called the multiverse world. It is a world composed of countless planes. In this plane, you are indeed the only real demon king, but there are other demon kings in other planes, but the demon king cannot go to other planes.

plane."

Pei Renli was still digesting this sentence, but he felt a little relieved after hearing the second half. At least there would be no big fight with other demon kings.

"As for the Demon King's Arena... His Majesty the former Demon King didn't say much to his subordinates. He only said that the Demon King's Arena is an area that only the Demon King can enter. Demon kings from different planes fight there."

The host of the Demon King Arena also said similar things, and also talked about competing for the title and status of the strongest Demon King, the Demon King God.

This made Pei Renli feel that it felt similar to a mobile game.

Normally, the demon kings have little contact with each other. At most, they compete for ranking in the arena.

But why? Is there any benefit? Who created the Demon King Arena and the Demon King system? Can I not participate?

This long series of questions are all unanswered. Everything Ravna knows is what the former demon king told her, and the parts that are not said are naturally unclear.

There is currently no answer, so Pei Renli can only close this article and ask other questions first:

"There is a reputation option on the Demon King system. How to get reputation?"

The even more deceptive thing about the Demon King system is that there is no manual at all. Pei Renli felt like he just skipped the novice tutorial.

The ranking should just be a function of showing what rank you are currently in. In contrast, the reputation option has a mechanism similar to exchange. It feels like reputation is like the currency in the Demon King system.

"The more your name or deeds are known and spread widely, the more reputation you will gain."

In short, it's just one sentence, make big news.

Ravna only knew this explanation, and couldn't ask anything useful in this regard.

I feel that Ravna is not as useful as Philphy's notebook, and she knows too little, but after thinking about it, Ravna is indeed beyond the reach of the notebook, at least in terms of eye-catching...

Knocking on his temple, Pei Renli temporarily gave up on delving into the problem of the Demon King system and said:

"Is there magic in this world?"

"As you said, magic exists in our world."

"Then can you do it? Can you teach me?"

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty the Demon King. I was created by the former Demon King. I use my abilities as instincts and cannot teach others."

"Did the former Demon King leave behind any books about magic? Or any useful treasures? None of these?"

Ravna shook her head repeatedly, making Perenli feel very bad.

There is nothing. Does the former Demon King leave behind an empty shell?

"Do you have any weapons?"

"There are some weapons. If you need them, I will get them now."

Seeing Pei Renli nod, Ravna packed up the ointment and gauze, walked out of the room respectfully, and closed the door gently.

Pei Renli, who stayed on the chair, sighed. Although he had many questions, they were not imminent. The real threat was the Demon King's Arena.

Now the big hourglass has started to count again, but I don’t know when I will enter the Demon King’s Arena next time.

Pei Renli could only be lucky enough to survive this time. There is no guarantee that he will be lucky next time.

If other questions can only be regarded as doubts, the Demon King's Arena is almost like choosing the Sword of Damocles above your head.

The evaluation of Pei Renli in the Demon King system is level 5. Considering that this is a world where magic exists, a completely ordinary person would be level 5. In fact, it is almost the same as fighting against the five scum.

If he wants to survive, Pei Renli needs to prepare as much as he can, and the most direct way is to improve his fighting ability.

Asking Ravna if the former Demon King left anything useful or magic was also based on this consideration. It turned out that the former Demon King left nothing behind, which really made people feel bad.

Because of the imminent survival problem, Perrenli felt that he needed a plan.

The first is intelligence.

Not only did he not know the information about the world he was in, he also didn't know the information about the plane he was in at all.

This is not insignificant. The currently known way to increase combat effectiveness the fastest is to exchange it with reputation through the Demon King System.

But to gain fame is to make big news, he has to know where to make it and how to make it.

In addition, the existence of the Demon King is undoubtedly the villain's big boss. If Pei Renli acts rashly, he may be chased and beaten by the local natives, which may be more dangerous than the Demon King Arena.

Secondly, he also needs to find a practical way to survive.

I always feel that the Demon King System is not a good thing. After all, it brings real life threats. Although there is currently no other evidence except the Demon King Arena, it is definitely not a good thing to rely too much on it.

After all, putting all your eggs in one basket is really insecure.

After solving the problem of survival, Pei Renli may have the opportunity to think about other things, such as why he traveled through time, who created the Demon King system, and other things that cannot be answered for the time being.

But having said that, where should I go to find the information...

This seems to be another problem.

Ravna didn't know much, and she had basically told Perrenli about it.

But there is a small detail. There was a piece of dry bread in the breakfast she made for Pei Renli not long ago.

Even if the bread is made by oneself in the kitchen, it is impossible to rely solely on oneself for the source of flour. Pei Renli did not see anything like farmland when he went out and walked around.

In other words, Ravna probably bought the bread from a nearby town. Since there is a town, it means there are locals there, and perhaps they can wander there to get more information.

We have roughly figured out how to do the first step. Now that everything is dark, we can only consider this.

Scratching his hair, Pei Renli turned around, turned over the desk behind him, and took out an unused notebook from the simple bookshelf above.

Then he unscrewed the ink bottle and dipped his quill in it.

The former Demon King did not leave any more clues for Perenli, so now he is like a blind man trying to figure out the elephant, having to take everything into consideration, which is really a bit of a cheat.

He planned to record all the information he got in his notebook, so that if he failed to start his business, the next devil would not be blinded like him.

It was not easy to use a quill pen for the first time, but in general, the usage was similar to that of a fountain pen. Pei Renli thought about it and decided to set a small goal first.

So he wrote on the first page of his notebook:
Chapter completed!
