Shang Yinhe himself has a slight obsessive-compulsive disorder. In the original world, when he saw the list of various achievements in a steam game, he would always be unable to restrain himself from restarting the game again for the second time, third time, and even Nth time, until all the achievements were completed.

Now, since he ran into such a slightly weird game world, although he doesn’t know what the point is for, the more points, no matter which game, the better. 

What he has to do, of course, is to brush and brush and try to complete all the achievements!

This game is not particularly difficult, and the achievements are not very, very difficult to complete.

[Current points: 60]

Looking at the number of points, Shang Yinhe stood at the highest point of the castle and felt a burst of satisfaction.

Behind the dense achievements on the page, most of them are written [Completed].

He only have one last achievement left unfinished: [The Demon King who Climbed to the Top: Complete the Main Mission – 40 Points] 

Shang Yinhe closed the page, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and looked down.

The current castle can already be described by the adjective “towering”.

The semi-circular arch stands in front of the castle, the ring-shaped spire reaches the sky, the dark green vines are climbing on the high gray city wall, and the splendid crystal-stained glass embellishes every room with dreamlike colors.

It just doesn’t fit well with the setting of the game. You know, the background is like this: the green arcs are actually the mountain peaks, the orange circle and lines are the sun and the rough green lines are a forest of trees.

In a world that looks like children’s sketches, such a delicate castle suddenly appeared, which seemed strange. 

——The wrong style of painting is a matter of the game world, what does it have to do with him?

Thinking like this, Shang Yinhe reopened the book in his hand and turned to the task page.

[ Military Pressure ] [Type: Main Quest] [Difficulty: Five Stars]
[Description: The existence of the Demon King gradually caused panic, and the brave men decided to form an army to conquer. This is the last mission, Lord Demon, cross it and you will successfully reach the top!]

–After completing this task, can the game be cleared?

——Will he…will he be able to leave this game world?

His intuition was always beating faintly, as if reminding him that he was missing something. 

Shang Yinhe frowned and thought for a long time, but still had no clue.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

——Could it be that his intuition is reminding him that even if he completes this so-called “final mission”, he will not be able to leave the game world?

Shang Yinhe put aside the lingering shadow in his heart and began to examine his monster army.

Yes, his current monster subordinates can already be described as an “army”.

The highest-level creature of the elf race is the “Five Elemental Elf”, the highest-level creature of the undead race is the “Undead Ghost”, and the highest-level creature of the abyss race is the “Dirty Throne“, each monsters filling every room.

“Undead Ghost” is immune to physical attacks and is the best meat shield;

“Five Elemental Elf” has the highest long-range magic attack and is the best output;

“Dirty Throne” can not only provide a lot of physical and magic attacks but also put various debuffs on the enemy.

Every room is filled with monsters; fathers, mothers, and a bunch of children. Large groups of subordinates are literally crammed into one room, piling up the number of troops as high as possible. 

Also, there is a room for the original Poyo Chick Iida.

Shang Yinhe tried hard to drive Iida away several times, but Iida will always stop him while crying.

“Lord Demon King, are you going to abandon me?”

“Lord Demon King is so cruel!” 

“I don’t want to leave the Lord Demon King!”

…Shang Yinhe raised the white flag.

Just stay there, there are enough troops to fight anyway.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Poyo Chicken is too low, even if the racial favorability has reached the highest level, the highest racial monster that it can recruit: “Special Invincible Chicken”, is not comparable to a fraction of other races’ combat effectiveness… 

As a result, Iida can only occupy a room alone and is single until now.

——Shang Yinhe gave him a chance! He recruited two (female) chicks, but Iida didn’t catch up!

Later, the rooms were all occupied by advanced races, and the lower-ranking monsters were driven away one by one. Even Iida’s room was squeezed out by Shang Yinhe, how could it be possible to squeeze in another target for Iida’s pursuit of love!

It’s great to be single, let’s be single together! 

——This seems to be a malice from a single dog.

Closer to home, Shang Yinhe was ready, he pointed his finger at the [Military Pressure] and watched it become [Military Pressure (In Progress)].

He has already challenged and failed three times in this main quest, the difficulty is indeed very, very high.

In this task, the types of heroes include flying heroes, Iron warriors, meat shield heroes, summoner heroes, and other various special heroes.

The long-range attack of the Iron Warriors is very high, and large-scale AOE’s will come from time to time. The Summoner Heroes will appear on the sky above the monsters every now and then, throwing bombs and splashing a large amount of damage; the Summoner Heroes will occasionally summon large barricades; The attacks of the special heroes are all strange and comprehensive, there are debuffs, and there are also elite squad raids, there's only what you can't think of, nothing is impossible.

If the firepower is not enough to destroy the enemy, it must be because the firepower is still not strong enough.

After the failure of the last challenge, Shang Yinhe exchanged a lot of [Quick Childbirth Buns], forcibly piled up a bunch of monster babies, and patiently waited for them to grow up.

Now, the number of his monster army has more than thrice the amount compared to the last time. 

A piercing alarm blared over the castle, and the monsters in the room all assembled naturally together, even Iida, the Poyo Chicken, mixed in the team.

Shang Yinhe drove Iida back to the room with black lines all over his head.

——With your 5 points of attack power, what can you do?

——By the way, after hard training, Iida’s attack power has risen from 3 to 5, and now it is a standard “scum with only 5 combat power“.

——A fighting scum, just stay in the room and watch.

The Undead Ghosts are entrenched in the sky above the castle, blocking the attacks of the heroes; the Five Elemental Elves emit sharp long-range magic; the Dirty Throne crowded the ground, covering all the enemies with invisible debuffs. 

Fight, fight, die, die.

There are constantly heroes turning into souls and soaring away, and monsters are constantly dying and dissipating.

In this cartoon version game world, even battle and death are very cute.

The ferocious monsters slowly gained the upper hand and slowly devoured the battlefield. 

In the end, the last brave man fled the battlefield in fright.

The battle is over.

The background music once again turned into that very earthy festive trumpet sound, “toot toot toot”.

The narrator’s voice that had not been heard for a long time appeared again, this time, its tone is more enthusiastic, excited and wild than ever before: 

“The devil defeated the army of the brave and won the final victory!”

“The world I will surrender at your feet, and the journey of thousands of miles starts from this moment!”

As the voice of the narrator fell, a translucent panel suddenly appeared in front of Shang Yinhe, showing:

“You have completed the customs clearance.”
“Points for this game: 100/100”
“Evaluation for this game: A”
“Do you want to continue the game?” 

There are two options under this question: “Load Archive” and “Return to Reality”.

He decisively chose to “return to reality”.

After his decision, Shang Yinhe’s eyes suddenly turned black, and a heavy feeling suddenly struck him.

The light gradually brightened, and he found himself standing in an ordinary room. 

Different from the two-dimensional painting style of the world just now, this room is just like the real world.

Shang Yinhe looked around and found that the room didn’t have too much. There was only a sofa, a desk, a chair, and a bed. There were no other decorations. The overall feeling was monotonous and simple. Even a room furnished by someone who admires minimalism should be richer than this.

“Ding dong!”

The sudden sound startled Shang Yinhe. 

“[The Landlord Demon King] game is over!”

He looked around and didn’t find the source of the sound, it felt like the sound was coming from his ears.

“The reward is being randomly drawn…”

The sound was a solemn male voice, and the unknown man was speaking smoothly and without hesitation. 

“The draw is complete, congratulations to the player for getting: Item-Demon King Suit.”

A book and a cloak suddenly appeared on the desk.

Very familiar.

“Player’s current level: LV1”
“Player’s current experience: 100/150”
“Returning to reality in 1 hour.”
“The next game will start in 7 days.”
“The settlement is complete.”
“The Jinjiang Game System is here to serve you wholeheartedly.” 

The voice stopped.

Shang Yinhe tried to call it: “System? Jinjiang game system? Customer service? Miss customer service? Brother customer service?”

He changed seven or eight names but got no response.

——Is this really “serving wholeheartedly”, where is the wholeheartedness? 

Shang Yinhe slandered the system for a while and then turned to study the book and cloak in front of him, which is what he gained in the game world this time: [Demon King Suit].

He frowned for a moment.

Obviously, these two goods are the devil’s book and the devil’s cloak who have been with him in the game world.

In the beginning, the Demon Lord’s Book was blank, and the Demon Lord’s Cloak was tattered enough to be called a beggar’s garment. 

With the expansion of the castle again and again, the devil’s castle has become more and more majestic, the devil’s Book has begun to be filled with information about various monsters and heroes, and the devil’s cloak has become noble and elegant.
