I'm a monster in Demon King's Castle

"I can provide you with an ‘Appraisal.’" The demon merchant, Mai Mai, said while stroking the rings on his fingers, "In that case… whether it's the odds or the value of the bet, it will be guaranteed."

Li Yue didn't expect Mai Mai's "Appraisal" skill to be used like this—similar to a kind of value fairness? Even if Oogey Boogey wanted to go back on his word, he wouldn't be able to?

Of course, Li Yue didn't trust Oogey Boogey, and he also suspected the possibility of being cheated if he earned too much, but after all, there was still a crucial final match in the Killing Cup, and this King of the Arena still needed Budibug to continue fighting for him, so the probability of him tampering with the betting tickets wasn't high.

But if he had Mai Mai's "Appraisal," wouldn't even the small portion of profits skimmed off by the Fly Demons… not have to be handed over?

"I can also go to the merchants' VIP room and get the best odds…" Mai Mai further provided an excellent betting channel—the odds in the audience were one to one, but it was obviously different in the upper levels.

Mai Mai's request was also very simple: "I want to take ten percent of all the profits."

"Wait a moment, let me calculate…" Li Yue gave up as soon as he had this thought—first, Li Yue didn't know what kind of odds Mai Mai could get, and second, he didn't intend to do math with a demon merchant at all.

"I won't calculate it. I don't care about your part. You can take ten percent of the profits from me and Redcoat here." Li Yue directly gave a more secure transaction proposal.

Want to take a bigger cut? Then please help us get better odds.

Moreover, sending General Paiqianmen to place bets was a bit risky in the first place. With a demon merchant, this part of the risk could also be avoided.

"Alright." Scolirik's caution was also within Mai Mai's expectations. He didn't dare provoke this Demon Son who had killed Bosh too much, nodded, and was about to reach out his hand.

[…Buy…Sell… ]

As for Mai Mai's true intentions, the demon merchant's "Action Prediction Success Rate" was 234%. Li Yue gave up listening and dealt with it more decisively.

"Okay, no need to say anything, let's sign a contract, a soul contract." Li Yue chuckled, taking advantage of the Red-Robed Priest's presence, "The additional condition is that you are not allowed to use ‘Lending’ on me."

The demon merchant's "Lending" ability could forcibly extract interest from the transaction party, and even control the transaction party's behavior.

Li Yue not only saw this in the Demon Illustrated Handbook, but also personally witnessed Mai Mai demonstrate it—when "Abominable" took effect, Mai Mai joined Bosh's group's attack, controlling MiniMini to hit Li Yue, forcing Li Yue into a very embarrassing situation.

If the transaction was concluded, Li Yue didn't want to have something inexplicably taken away by the demon merchant.

"This…" Mai Mai was guessed at his intention by Li Yue and was a little embarrassed.

Mai Mai rolled his eyes, but found that from a cost perspective, it was still most cost-effective to trade with Scolirik, even if he couldn't use "Lending"—Budibug had control of the fourth match of the Killing Cup. Even if he inquired about inside information from other demons, it would still be difficult to distinguish the truth from the falsehood. If the Brainlings suddenly changed their tactics, the result might be completely different.

The transaction was concluded, the soul contract was signed, and the Red-Robed Priest Redcoat was still expressionless this time, a little numb from signing.

The demon merchant left, and there was still a six-armed piglet left in front of the bedroom door, whose intentions were quite unexpected to Li Yue.

"Can you tell Budibug that during the fourth match of the Killing Cup, can I take MiniMini out for dessert?" Pigo drooled as he spoke, "Among the desserts supplied by the Killing Cup, there is a limited ice cream that is very delicious. It's ice crystals contributed by the Great Ice Seam paired with Ghost Skin Bananas… I want to take them to try it."

After the transaction with the Demon Kitchen, the MiniMini escorting the food cart constantly tasted Pigo's Chaotic Desserts and had also formed a deep friendship with the demon chef; now that the library was open to the Demon Sons, Pigo wanted to take his little friends to eat delicious food and taste the real delicacies.

"Then you have to ensure the safety of the MiniMini." Li Yue thought it was harmless, provided that the MiniMini wouldn't become food for other demons.

Moreover, the MiniMini couldn't stay in the library forever, and they would have to face Demon King City sooner or later, so this time they could take advantage of the protection of the Demon Kitchen to slightly expand their range of activities.

"Oh… I can find Daddy… arrange some bodyguards…" Pigo really began to consider security issues, and pulled out a kitchen knife from under his skin and sharpened it on his pig's trotters.

"So… friend, are you betting?" Li Yue didn't know how much property Pigo had or whether he was willing to join this bet.

"No, I'm not interested in fighting and killing." Pigo sharpened the knife and stabbed it back under his skin.

"Okay, then…" Li Yue, of course, had to add a lot of insurance when trading with the Demon Sons.

"Let's sign a contract." Redcoat finished Li Yue's words for him and directly drove the magic power to complete the soul contract.

Li Yue nodded appreciatively at Redcoat, suddenly feeling that having a priest by his side was really convenient, but he didn't know if he would be charged if he asked him to sign contracts on his behalf in the future…

"By the way, where's your dad's stomach pouch? Lend it to me, we need it for betting." Since Pigo was right in front of him, Li Yue remembered the warehouse of materials and couldn't find a better carrying tool for a while, so he wanted to borrow his stomach pouch.

"Okay," Pigo was selfless except for eating, and was extremely cooperative, feeling happy at the thought of being able to eat the limited ice cream from the Killing Cup.

At this point, Li Yue had finally basically prepared for betting on the fourth match of the Killing Cup, only lacking a negotiation with Damen Benben.

During this period, Dandan and Yingying watched Li Yue's performance, watching with relish and inexplicably feeling excited—the atmosphere had been built up to this point, if they didn't wipe out the entire Jackal family in the first round when the fourth match really started… it really wouldn't make sense.

"See you at ‘Hero Studies’ tonight?" Before leaving, Li Yue casually asked Redcoat—after experiencing the series of operations just now, Li Yue found this Red-Robed Priest inexplicably pleasing to the eye.

He was someone he could get along with.

"Of course, tonight, my ceremony will officially begin. Perhaps I can sacrifice the soul of a hero first…" Redcoat was no longer so silent, "Next, I'll leave it to you. Don't let me… let us down."

Li Yue finally understood that the graduation class from Hero Studies to the Killing Cup… was actually a whole set of rituals.

Redcoat's killing intent burst forth. In addition to sensing a hint of killing intent, Li Yue also felt that there seemed to be a powerful competitor in tonight's "Hero Studies" class?

Li Yue couldn't help but look forward to it even more, bidding farewell to Redcoat—before leaving, Li Yue, of course, also used the library's authority to observe Damen Benben and Neetme's behavior when they left.

The two Demon Sons didn't stay in the library for too long, flew over the empty Bloody Corridor, and went straight to the Bewildering Corridor, without causing any trouble.

Returning to the upper cave, Li Yue once again summoned Budibug.

"Today or tomorrow, you will have a negotiation with Damen Benben…" Li Yue transmitted to Budibug, "As the Lord of the Brainlings, how will you arrange it?"

"Damen Benben… the Demon Secretary?" Budibug's body blurred for a moment, and he immediately tried to escape, but was grabbed back by Li Yue's control.

"Wrong, you shouldn't have this kind of reaction." Li Yue paced in front of Budibug for a moment, "You have a good relationship with the Skull Clan and have obtained an extraordinary ‘Mutation.’ You should be more assertive."

As Li Yue spoke, he transmitted Damen Benben's words and actions just now to Budibug's mind.

"What? There's also a Nightmare Succubus?" Budibug's consciousness was on the verge of collapse, "Brainlings… are most afraid of Nightmare Succubi!"

Li Yue was shocked, thinking that he was right not to "Dream Dive" with Neetme, but he was still a little angry to see Budibug react like this, patting his forehead and saying.

"Have some ambition. We have all the advantages this time, and it's a good time… to change the demons' perception of Brainlings." Li Yue wanted to plan for the future of the library.

From now on, he had to show the deterrence of the library; he had to make the library… also become one of the forbidden areas of Demon King City.
