Chapter 224 Dekan’s Final Stubbornness
“H Humph…”
Dekan laughed without expression on his face.
Subsequently, he started shaking his head and chuckled bitterly.
Even though he had obtained 2000 Demon Points after defeating Olive, his current Demon Points totaled to 3765.
Still, Dekan couldn’t feel happy.
“What the heck kind of place is this? What rotten place!”
Dekan said full of indignation.
He had finally reached the Demon Realm he longed for day and night.
He also acquired an identity suitable for his pleasures.
These two things, which should have made him delighted, why did their convergence leave him so troubled?
In this Shadow World of the Demon Realm.
The more he tried to prove his innocence, the more his reputation seemed to be trampled in unimaginable ways!
His coming to the Demon Realm.
It was like a fish returning to water.
If he insisted on acting like he was drowning, he would instead look like he was splashing about happily in the water!
“No, no, can’t give up, there’s still hope.”
Dekan paced back and forth in a state of internal conflict.
Currently.
Although unforeseen live-streaming issues on the second level would likely lead to another round of misunderstanding from everyone.
He firmly believed that as long as he maintained good intentions, things would be alright in the end!
The incidents on the first two levels were probably just bad luck.
One can’t make conclusions based on a few accidental events!
He still had his sister.
If Dekan was currently using his original form,
He might have started contemplating completely abandoning his reputation.
But now, he was in the form of Tarta.
In a way, their reputations were bound together.
Even if it’s just for Tarta, he cannot let himself descend into corruption!
He must fight against his inner self until the end!
The next level, he must definitely turn the situation around!
“Tarta, don’t worry. I’m always reliable.”
With that, Dekan, with a resolute step, walked towards the teleportation portal leading to the third level.
…
As soon as Dekan reached the third level, he immediately felt how the air became refreshingly clear.
It wasn’t because the environment of the second level was overly harsh.
It was because the environment of this level was so good it became strangely good.
At a glance, it felt like compared to a prison.
It seemed more like a hotel lobby!
The decoration once again had that classical noble yet slightly dark style of the Demon Academy.
The first thing Dekan did upon arriving was to perceive his surroundings using the Demon Bracelet.
【Gluttony Prison】
【In this level, you cannot actively attack inmates or other prison guards; otherwise, each time will cost you 50% of your demon points, or 100 demon points, whichever is larger.】
【If demon points fall to a negative number, you will be executed by the Warden.】
【Completing tasks earns demon points, these can be spent on goods, and demon points are freely exchangeable.】
【On the third level of the prison, 300 demon points will be automatically deducted daily.】
【To enter the fourth level, a payment of 3000 demon points is required, or obtaining the permission of the third level Warden.】
“Costs 3000… huh…”
Although Dekan could afford the direct payment to go to the fourth level, he only had 3765 points now.
There might be hidden and limited goods or information on this level, and if he left now, he might miss them.
And when he goes to the unknown fourth level, being low on demon points would rob him of the comfort of having abundant funds.
Additionally, Dekan wanted to check whether there were any comrades on this level.
So he decided to explore this level a bit.
Maybe he could make some cash?
The rules on this level were very similar to those on the first level.
The odd thing was, you couldn’t attack prisoners on this level.
And if the demon points went negative, you would immediately be executed by the Warden.
Yet, it was never mentioned that prisoners couldn’t attack or taunt the guards.
Wasn’t it like the prisoners were the fathers here?
Dekan had just arrived on this level when, after a few seconds, he noticed the Warden suddenly appearing before him.
Though the Warden on this level was humanoid, he didn’t look at all like a humanoid creature.
His entire body was covered with eyes, which made him look especially eerie.
Moreover, Dekan could sense a dangerous aura emanating from this individual. He was likely just as strong as the leather-clad demon on the first level.
Another eight-rank demon.
Dekan wasn’t confident he could defeat him alone.
However, similar to the first level, Dekan couldn’t worry for now that the Warden would attack him.
After all, the Warden was also bound by rules. Who knew how many tens of thousands demon points the Warden had?
He wouldn’t act rashly and lose half his points, just to squish a small demon.
“What job do you want?”
The Warden asked as he saw Dekan.
He treated Dekan with a fairly good attitude.
Clearly, he was someone who did his job professionally.
Although the prisoners here were almost all sent from the Demon Realm directly to the third level,
The prison guards who could come here had already passed the tests of the first two levels.
They were valuable laborers, with potential as talents.
Dekan: “If I choose a job, can I go to the next level anytime? Also, do you have any intelligence on the Head Warden for sale?”
Warden: “Yes, available, 2000.”
The communication between Dekan and the Warden was highly efficient.
Dekan: “I want to get familiar with the environment here first, then start my job. Also, is my position still negotiable?”
The Warden nodded: “You can work in the kitchen. But given your looks, you can also work as a server.”
“I’ll be a server then.”
Even though Dekan felt it was strange for both of these positions to be in a prison.
But in the Demon Realm, anything strange should be considered normal.
So Dekan followed the Warden to check out level three, then they went to the restaurant.
On the way, Dekan didn’t see any of his comrades.
It only made him realize that this level was truly a top-notch hotel.
The prison cells, except for their doors being fully transparent, didn’t have any sense of a cell.
They looked rather like suites!
Arriving at the restaurant, Dekan saw the inside and finally understood.
This level was merely a symbolic jail!
It looked like a classy luxurious western restaurant, the interior design exuding opulence.
In the spacious, bright hall, the most eye-catching central seats were occupied by several demons whose hair was combed neatly. They lazily reclined in their chairs, chatting about something, with faint smiles on their faces, as if they were home.
If not for noticing the prison uniforms they wore and the chains on their feet, Dekan would have never guessed they were prisoners!
It seemed only powerful demons who had committed crimes were sent here.
Then surely, there shouldn’t be any comrades on this level.
Here, the prisoners were the supreme lords!
And the prison guards were here to serve them well!
“My temper is the best. I’m sure on this level, it will showcase my gentle and friendly attitude.”
Dekan thought secretly.
