Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

Walking slowly into the bar, Yang Yu sat down at the counter,

”Can I ask any question?”

The robot put down the shaking mixer in its hand and wiped its hands,

”You can ask anything. But I can only answer what I know, or what I’m allowed to answer.”

Yang Yu was unreserved and asked directly:

”Then tell me, what’s the purpose of this city’s construction?”

The robot casually picked a bottle from the liquor cabinet, opened it, and filled Yang Yu’s glass,

”This city was entirely built for the creation of that giant robot.”

”Then, based on what purpose was the giant robot you mentioned created?”

”We have no way of knowing the specific purpose.

Not only us but only a very few people above also know.

Only those very few can activate the machine’s true power.

When the time is right, others will awaken their memories and understand what they need to do.

”

The robot gave some ambiguous answers, vaguely hinting at some extremely important information. Yang Yu pursued further:

”When you say the time is right, when is that?”

”I’m sorry. You are just ordinary people and do not have the authority.

You still need to wait.....wait...”

The robot slightly pushed the glass toward Yang Yu.

Yang Yu took a sip of the drink, it was an ordinary drink, nothing fictional about it.

Surrounding this city, the giant robot, Yang Yu asked the bartender robot many questions, but unfortunately, most were fruitless. The bartender robot mostly responded with ”I don’t know.”

Without collecting much information on this aspect, Yang Yu didn’t insist further:

”To think there are so many questions you don’t know. Then can you tell me something about Hero Lux, anything, as long as it involves him?”

”Please wait a moment.” A flicker of light appeared on the robot’s face, and after a while, it decisively replied: ”There’s no information on this person in the database, nothing about him can be found. Please check and re-enter.”

Yang Yu put down his glass and frowned. Clearly, it was he who established the Underground Maze, yet the robot claimed ignorance.

No is no. Hero Lux seems determined not to let others know about him, there’s no point in asking further.

Placing the thick stack of pages on the counter, Yang Yu decisively switched to another question:

”Have you seen pages like these? Do you know of a place where duplicate pages can be sorted out?”

A green light shot out from the bartender robot’s eyes, scanned the pages, and its chest slowly opened like an oven, revealing a large space,

”Give them to me.

I know the text above, but the related database has been erased, leaving only the numerical part.

I can help you pick out the duplicate pages and arrange them in numerical order.

This is a function I have been given.

Additionally....

My task is also to recycle duplicate pages, if I detect any, I will collect them with your consent and exchange them for points for you.

If you have obtained surplus pages or keys outside of this Underground Maze, you can also give them to me to exchange for points.

Having pages with modern numerical page numbers will grant you extra points.”

Hearing the term points, Yang Yu raised an eyebrow and asked: ”What use are points? Can a certain number of points be exchanged for valuable items?”

”Points can be exchanged for items held by the Hall of History.

If you want to see what items can be exchanged for points, please tap your counter three times.” The robot spoke.

Yang Yu tapped the counter three times, and the dark red wooden counter instantly lit up, a clean exchange interface appeared in Yang Yu’s sight.

At the top, it read ”Points: 0000000”, to the left, various items were listed, like Equipment, Materials, Skill Scrolls, Tools, Ingredients and Water, Gold Coins, Special Items, and on the right was a huge blank box.

By tapping the corresponding item, to index, the prize with the price clearly listed would appear in the blank box on the right.

This scenario is exactly like after the Dragon God Conference, where you obtain the desired prize using victory points.

Yang Yu slowly scrolled through the list of exchange prizes, and according to the index, opened the Legendary Equipment interface.

Although the Hall of History has far fewer Legendary Equipments than the giant dragon’s Treasure Vault, it still boasts more than fifty pieces.

Exchanging a piece of Legendary Equipment requires ten thousand points, with no fluctuation.

In theory, as long as you are willing to grind, clearing out the Hall of History is doable.

Yang Yu didn’t stay long on the Legendary Equipment interface, instead, he looked through other categories.

The Demon King is approaching, and even if Yang Yu grinded tirelessly, he doesn’t have much time to scour this Underground Maze. He has to choose cost-effective items and plan his time wisely.

Scrolling to the Skill Scrolls section, Yang Yu glances through the skill names and exchange prices, only reading the descriptions of skills he hasn’t seen.

Suddenly, Yang Yu’s eyes widened, staring intently at the screen.

On the third page, top right corner of the Skill Scrolls section, Yang Yu saw the Taunt skill he had always dreamed of and the exchange price was shockingly low.

For just one thousand points, he could bring this little Princess home.

This price is the same as other Epic Skill Scrolls.

Yang Yu didn’t know how many points each duplicate page would earn him or how much his keys could be exchanged for.

But he had accumulated quite a few duplicate pages, and the points from two keys should be considerable; a mere thousand points should be manageable.

Yang Yu placed the two keys and all the obtained pages on the counter, ”Exchange all the keys and duplicate pages for points.”

”Understood, please wait a moment.”

The robot first picked up Yang Yu’s two keys and placed them in its mouth.

The point count at the top of the interface jumped from zero to 10,000, with each key earning 5,000 points.

The robot then placed stack after stack of pages into its belly.

Seeing the points credited, Yang Yu quickly tapped on the exchange page for Taunt.

However, the exchange page remained unresponsive.

No matter how long Yang Yu tapped, the page wouldn’t react, and his points didn’t diminish.

Strange? Maybe this isn’t the spot?

Yang Yu tapped on another skill scroll next to Taunt that he had his eye on, and with a ”click”, a Treasure Box appeared before him.

Yang Yu felt a sense of foreboding, vaguely realizing something, his lips twitched as he asked:

”Um...is there a BUG here? Why can’t I select this item?”

The robot’s reply didn’t surprise Yang Yu:

”All the Hall of History prizes are in a prize pool.

Automatic refreshes are delayed, just refresh actively.”

After speaking, the bartender robot organized the pages while helping Yang Yu slide the interface to refresh the exchange list.

Taunt disappeared instantly, and Yang Yu was on the verge of tears, nearly wanting to sit down and cry aloud, ”Waa—”.
