Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Chapter 546: Chapter 546: The Same Goodnight, Different Outcomes

Questioning concluded.

After bidding farewell to the Elf Queen, Yang Yu, escorted by the Personal Guard, led his team out of the Elf Queen’s palace.

Per the agreement, Bai Jin, Iyas, and Hake remained in Luoyu City.

Iyas was to seek out the priests here and humbly learn the ways of wielding the Holy Light; Bai Jin would collect subtle intelligence that was inconvenient to mention to the Queen for Yang Yu; Hake sought a place to settle down and learn how to live a stable life.

Following Yang Yu into the town, Che Lan, a descendant of Iyas, was deeply troubled.

She hadn’t expected Yang Yu to question the Queen so directly, multiple times causing the Queen to show a look of difficulty, showing no sign of respect for the Queen.

What worried Che Lan more was that Iyas, as if bewitched, had acted so rudely toward the Elf Queen.

The Iyas who always held high regard for the Queen would never have stood up and spoken to the Queen so impolitely in the past.

Having been corrupted by human society in just over a year, Che Lan silently vowed to help Iyas regain her glory as an Elf Warrior.

Upon reaching the edge of Luoyu City, the elves once again cast piercing glances at Yang Yu, who, oblivious under the watch of the Personal Guard, bid farewell to Bai Jin and the others,

”Take good care of yourself.”

”You too, upon returning to Elf Forest, please forget everything from the journey and return to a normal life.”

Mounting Lotcar without turning his head, Yang Yu left Luoyu City.

Yesterday, Yang Yu had already planned the next steps.

He, along with Lotcar and He Meng, had a huge Level gap compared to Iyas and Bai Jin, and with Elf Forest bordering a large number of Beastman Soldiers... it was naturally a good time to have some heartfelt interactions.

Sweeping around the perimeter of Elf Forest, he and Lotcar, along with He Meng, would not only steadily reach Level seventy but also make a name for themselves, paving the way for future promotions in Wansheng Country.

Moving through the forest, Yang Yu opened his panel.

Having used three Racial Essences, Yang Yu’s poor attribute growth had finally improved slightly; the bad news was that as the Level increased, so did the Experience required for each level, missing out on the best Experience bonus.

Yang Yu did not know the highest Level cap in this world.

But starting now, he would always be somewhat weaker than those who had been extraordinarily talented from a young age.

Tico, known as the first genius of the Library, reached a staggering over two thousand Intelligence before Level fifty.

According to Yang Yu’s current growth, he needed to reach over 100 levels to have his basic attributes break a thousand based on growth.

However, this number would undoubtedly come sooner, as there were still so many tasks from which he could obtain free attribute points.

Currently, the highest level living person Yang Yu had seen was the Elf Queen Ailena.

Being a queen, her stats were not as exaggerated as Tico’s.

[Elf Queen Ailena

Seeing Charm and Luck on the Elf Queen’s panel surprised Yang Yu.

Previously, he had always thought these two attributes would only be visible after becoming allies.

In the past, Yang Yu had already discovered that the data panels displayed by each person did not look the same; some were very similar to his own, while others were more clear-cut and straightforward.

Not everyone shared a single template.

Moreover, from the looks of it, even the data panel template of the same person might not remain fixed.

Before Iyas became partners with Yang Yu, he couldn’t see her Luck. It was only after they officially formed a team that.

Yang Yu saw the Luck attribute Iyas had been hiding.

To be honest, if he could have seen others’ Charm and Luck from the beginning, Yang Yu would have already searched for a much luckier ”Tool Man” than Iyas.

Even if the Tool Man’s combat power was negligible, he could still keep him by his side as a mascot to enhance the average Luck of the team.

Yang Yu wouldn’t even need to specially adapt strategies or equipment for the Tool Man.

As the saying goes, the real Luck Emperors play games with their feet.

Simply by following behind a true Luck Emperor, one could pick up money with ease.

If the Luck Emperor wished, any Legendary Level weapon and various Rare Skills were just lying around to be picked up.

If one encountered a person with Charm off the charts, it was important to make their acquaintance.

The same words, powerless from one’s own mouth, might have a completely different effect when spoken by someone else.

A handsome man’s ”Goodnight” and a sycophant’s ”Goodnight” can never be the same.

Sometimes, people are just that hypocritical.

Though he thought about it, Yang Yu besides his team members, couldn’t see most people’s Luck and Charm.

Therefore, Bai Jin’s ”Misfortune Curse,” Yang Yu never let Bai Jin use it even once.

Not seeing others’ Luck values and assuming they were as unlucky as him also brought Yang Yu a sense of comfort and balance.

Imagine, adding a ”Misfortune Curse” to someone already worse off than himself would just make them fall to their knees and cry incessantly.

However, it seems like Yang Yu had already met someone even luckier than himself.

Unearthing a Skill Scroll named ”Fallen Divine Tears” from the system’s bottom, Yang Yu still didn’t know how to handle this skill scroll.

Such usage decreased Luck and could even push Luck into negative numbers; surely this wasn’t a trap, was it?

”I wonder what the Heroes would think if they saw mine and Bai Jin’s attributes? Would they discover my abundant Charm, feel inferior, and then waste a bunch of free attribute points on Charm?”

Yang Yu murmured to himself, trying to recall the Hero’s panel, but apart from remembering that the Hero allocated all his free attribute points to Strength, he couldn’t recall each of the Hero’s values.

Back then, Yang Yu just ordinarily saw some of the Hero’s attributes; probably the Hero seeing his panel was about the same situation, but he still couldn’t be one hundred percent sure.

At that moment, an idea suddenly flashed through Yang Yu’s mind.

The Hero was a player who focused his entire build on Physical Attack, and after the last lesson, he must also be thinking about how to battle an NPC like himself.

Considering that he learned such complex Magic, afterwards, he would likely also learn broad-coverage, powerful Magic Skills to assist in clearing minions and leveling.

Would it be possible to give him the ”Fallen Divine Tears”?

Of course, it would have to be a fair trade.

Yang Yu crossed his arms and began to think; he wasn’t worried that after using Fallen Divine Tears, the Hero would just insta-kill the Demon King with one set.

The Catastrophe Witch, even with over ten thousand Intelligence and Fallen Divine Tears, only just managed to defeat the Demon King with the Hero by exhausting all her Luck.

This generation’s Demon King would likely learn from the previous generation’s mistakes and avoid repeating them.

If the Demon King was insta-killed by the Hero, that would be too boring, turning the Demon King into a mere unit of measurement for combat power; then, Yang Yu might as well take Bai Jin home and farm.
