Ch5 - The Demon King of Prosperity and Beauty

The world has changed from two-dimensional to three-dimensional, and the original animation-style book has also become a real book. The six-pointed star on the cover has changed from a simple stroke to a complex and delicate pattern, and it seems that there is still brilliance flowing in.

The cloak also became the same. The black cloak was faintly embroidered with complex dark lines as if it’s inclusive of everything in the night sky, and the stars were flowing on it. The delicate texture is soft and smooth, and with a hood, it looks very noble. 

He tentatively picked up the book, and translucent words appeared above it:

[The Devil’s Book: The Demon Lord’s exclusive book, containing all the mysteries from the past to the present. Can record game information and evolve.]

 

 

Shang Yinhe waved his hand at the translucent words, and the words gradually dispersed.

He touched the desk again, and the same translucent words appeared above the desk: [Ordinary desk: It looks like an ordinary desk, but it is placed in a mysterious room. ] 

Shang Yinhe studied the room for a while. He found that this room seemed to have its own identification function. As long as he touches an item in the room, a translucent identification sentence would appear in the air.

 

Such as the clothes he wears: [Wrinkled windbreaker: It seems that the windbreaker has not been washed for two days, and it feels a little dirty. ]

Shang Yinhe rolled his eyes and flicked the words in the air.

He opened the Demon King’s book.

 

The book in reality is very strange to the touch. The tight and smooth cover seems to be slightly charged, and when he touches it, there will be tiny sparks sputtering on his fingertips; while the pages inside are white and strong, and when he touched it, it is like water, fine and smooth.

The first page of the book is still his chibi version image, the little man in the picture saw him and made a face at him again.

Lines of information are displayed below the image:

 

[Player ID: 001]
[Current Points: 100]
[Player’s current level: LV1]
[Player’s Current Experience: 100/150]
[Return to reality countdown: 00:57:14]
[Next game start countdown: 6 days, 23 hours, 57 minutes]

[Completed game: The Landlord Demon King (A)] 

Everything after that is all blank.

It seems that the book will record his information as a player.

His eyes stopped for a while on the beating countdown.

The meaning of the countdown in the book is obvious. He will leave the appraisal room in 1 hour and return to reality, but he will enter the next game in 7 days. 

——It looks like this journey can’t end…

Shang Yinhe was a little frustrated, but his frustration quickly dissipated. In his emotions, the proportion of excitement is more than depression.

When he first entered the two-dimensional painting style world of [The Landlord Demon King], he knew that he had entered a magical place. Perhaps magical is not enough to describe his experience, after all, this is really creating one, and possibly even countless worlds.

Also, if he will enter many game worlds, then, predictably, the rules of each game world will be very different. 

What kind of mighty power is needed to create this miracle?

So he knew from the beginning that this would not be a journey that could simply end.

Shouldn’t he feel lucky, excited, and look forward to it compared to the ordinary life of ordinary people, in which there is no turbulence, and the trajectory of fate can be completely guessed?

However, in order to spend these magical journeys safely, he needs to prepare something in the real world, although he doesn’t know if it will be useful or not. After all, in the world of [The Landlord Demon King], he didn’t bring anything in, and his abilities were useless. What will he encounter, what does he need to prepare… 

Shang Yinhe thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly retracted his thoughts.

After a pause, his gaze shifted to the player number again.

[Player ID: 001]

Compared with the countdown, this number revealed more things. 

Does this number mean that he is the first player in this game?

Why choose him?

Has anyone played this game before?

Will this game have more players in the future? 

Where do these game worlds come from?

Are there controllers in these game worlds?

Countless questions popped up one by one, circling in his mind.

Insufficient information, no amount of questions can be answered, any more guesses would just be in vain. Shang Yinhe put aside the mindless thoughts, put down the book in his hand, and picked up the cloak on the other side of the desk. 

A translucent text pops up.

[Demon King’s Cloak: The exclusive cloak of the Demon King, only it can show the majesty of the Demon King. Charm +30, Majesty +30, can change the appearance of the Devil, can hide the appearance of the Devil.]

 

Shang Yinhe tentatively put on the cloak and put on a hood.

There was a strange diversion of his perspective, as if he was suddenly split in two, half standing on the ground looking ahead, and half floating in the sky and watching himself.

He seemed to know naturally that he could now adjust his appearance. After the adjustment, every time he puts on the cloak, it will automatically change to this appearance, and the appearance cannot be changed after the appearance is determined.

Kind of like creating your own face in the game.

From the perspective in the mid-air, he adjusted himself with great interest, pulling a little height, trimming a little corner, trimming his eyebrows into sword eyebrows, drawing red vermillion line on the centre of his brows, pulling his eyes into slender phoenix eyes, and adjusting his complexion to be fairer, he also made his body look stronger.

Shang Yinhe himself is a very handsome boy, but his handsomeness is very non-aggressive and not the sexy kind. He looks very sunny and warm. He was once described as “smiling as if radiating holy light”. A typical “warm man” 

This appearance fits his disguised character very well, but it doesn’t match his essential character at all.

It’s a rare opportunity to make his ideal face in reality, and it’s still even a face that he can use.

People often say that appearance is given by parents and cannot be adjusted, but now is a time that looks at appearance. Therefore, the cosmetic industry has reached an unparalleled level in this era.

And now, Shang Yinhe has a free appearance reincarnation opportunity, a completely harmless plastic surgery opportunity. 

He was having fun.

Slowly, a handsome guy who was almost completely different from him appeared.

It’s a bit like Xuan Xiao of the Legend of Sword and Fairy after he became a demon. The new character has a very stern temperament. At first glance, he is handsome, cold and arrogant, and has an extraordinary bearing; The combination of the teardrop-shaped red vermilion pattern between the eyebrows and the slender phoenix eyes that look like a smile but not a smile adds a bit of charm to him. On the whole, it has a peculiar charm.

It fits the image of the word “Demon King” very well.

Shang Yinhe stopped. 

He glanced left and right with satisfaction, feeling that he had reached his limit.

If the appearance can be classified in the reality, this “Demon King” has already reached the level of heaven and man.

 

Shang Yinhe put on a hood and looked at it from the mid-air perspective. His face was hidden in the shadow of the hood, vaguely, but no matter how he looked, he couldn’t see it clearly.

He naturally understood that this was the function of the [Demon King’s Cloak] to “hide the appearance of the Demon King”. 

However, not being able to see that handsome face makes him unhappy.

Shang Yinhe decisively took off his hood and continued to admire himself.

When he was in junior high school, he understood that his sexuality may not be the same as that of ordinary people. He can appreciate the slender or fit body of boys, and likes to play basketball together with them, but he can’t appreciate the shy charm of girls, and he can’t imagine living with a girl.

Psychological theories always like to categorize the causes of spiritual defects on childhood trauma or parental education, and Shang Yinhe thinks this is justified. 

But knowing why doesn’t help.

He hides his sexuality very well.

Although the so-called relatives will not care about his mood, and the public opinion of the society will not interfere with his own wishes, he does not want some differences to interfere with his life.

It is rare to have a moment where he can indulge, and what he admires is still such a face that suits his own taste, Shang Yinhe simply does not want to stop. 

With the help of the Demon King’s Cloak “Charm +30”, the Demon King with the red scarlet pattern is so handsome that it seems to be glowing.

Charm all beings.

360 degrees without dead ends.

Immaculate face, gleaming. 

It’s a fascination that transcends human limits almost entirely.

This is the charm that even a rational person like Shang Yinhe would almost completely indulge in.

The one-hour countdown on the book is almost over.

Shang Yinhe reluctantly ended this viewing. 

The perspective in mid-air disappeared, and the Demon King’s face was fixed.

For the last time, Shang Yinhe tried to search the room again, but found nothing.

 

He took off his cloak, folded it carefully, and put the book and cloak inside the trench coat.

Although the things were hidden in the windbreaker, they seemed to bulge and they were still some flaws, but he had tried to hide them properly. On the surface, it seems that he is slightly fatter, not too different. 

Before he entered this world, he remembered that he was still in his own house. However, he is not sure what to expect when he returns to the real world.

What if time has passed for a long time? What if he has been identified by the police as a missing person and the house is under surveillance? What if a relative took advantage of his absence and directly occupied his house?

Not afraid of ten thousand, just in case. 

 

Shang Yinhe is very cautious, sometimes even slightly paranoid.

The one-hour countdown is over.

The system’s voice rang in his ears on time:

“Jinjiang Game System is here to serve you wholeheartedly.”
“The countdown to return to reality has ended.”
“Returning Teleportation Begins…” 

Shang Yinhe’s eyes darkened, and the familiar heavy feeling returned.

He guessed that this feeling was an illusion caused by crossing time and space.

But this time, the feeling lasted a little longer, making him almost dizzy to the point of unconsciousness.

Just a second before he lost consciousness, he seemed to faintly hear  the system said in a flat and even voice: 

“Earth is logging in…”

In a trance, this sentence seemed to be just his illusion
