On the other side, just as Mi Xi backed off with envy, jealousy, and hate, Luo Yan, who had handed over the spoils to Sarah for management, also turned around and returned to his own workshop.

When he lifted the curtain and walked in, a player was waiting there.

The moment the player saw Luo Yan, he immediately copied the dumb guide from the official website and pretended to say,

"Respected Lord Demon King, I am your most, most, most loyal—"

"Dispense with the formalities."

"—servant. As per your command, I have crafted your furniture. Please have a look."

Looking at this guy who ignored him and insisted on finishing his script, Luo Yan looked at him in surprise and then nodded his head.

Well done.

He actually skipped my skip?

But if he thought that this would trigger a hidden mission or increase his favorability, that would be too naive.

Luo Yan dismissed him with just one sentence.

"Oh, good work."

This skeleton's ID was [Zheng Fangxing], which sounded a bit like a real person's name, but it might just be some old fart playing with a gag from the last century.

Unlike other players, this one wasn't very loud. Looking at his dull and honest appearance, he was probably an office worker in real life.

As for woodworking, it was likely just a hobby of his.

According to what Youyou said, this player had shown extraordinary enthusiasm upon learning that the Demon King needed a carpenter.

And just a short while ago, he had just resolved the issue with wood frames for "Great Graveyard's First Textile Mill" concerning silk reeling, weaving tools, and leather tanning equipment.

Seeing that such things weren't difficult for him, Luo Yan simply asked him to craft a set of furniture for himself.

Looking at the brand-new bedframes and tables and chairs, Luo Yan's face showed an approving expression.

Not bad.

They sure look like the real deal.

"You've done well, later help me make a bookshelf, and it would be even better with folding doors... Ah, and a bedside table, I plan to put a night light here."

Zheng Fangxing took note seriously and nodded, saying,

"No problem, Lord Demon King... Next, please allow this humble person to introduce the features of this furniture."

"Features?"

Luo Yan was taken aback.

"I still recognize beds and tables and chairs—"

"I know, but my design is not just that."

The player in front seemed to have his own ideas and didn't plan on listening to him.

Without asking for permission, the gentleman walked over to the bed, lay down, and then stretched his hand to slap the slide lever on the side of the bed.

The slide lever was made abstractly, almost merging with the bed frame.

If it weren't for this guy pointing it out deliberately, Luo Yan wouldn't have even noticed that his bed had this extra contraption.

"This is an automatically waking bedstead that can effectively prevent oversleeping... Please allow me to demonstrate how to use it."

Still not planning to listen to the Demon King, Brother Zheng talked to himself as he pulled that slide lever.

With a "click" sound, the whole bed snapped shut like a fully wound mousetrap, with the head and tail of the bed slamming together forcefully.

"Wham—!"

Amidst the sound of bed boards colliding, it seemed he could also hear the noise of bones breaking.

Judging by the standards of traps, this contraption was quite reliable.

If one hadn't prepared a spell in advance or worn magic armor, even he himself would have been caught off-guard by this device.

"Hold on—"

"Damn it..."

"Lord Demon King, please wait for me..."

Zheng Fangxing, trapped between the bed boards, struggled frantically for a while.

Eventually realizing that his spine was broken, he finally gave up struggling. The soul fire in his skull was extinguished, and he went off to respawn.

[Faith Points -1]

Luo Yan looked at the motionless skeleton with a subtle expression, then turned to the floor mirror beside him.

"Youyou... I only have one life, remember to find someone more normal next time."

Youyou, appearing in the mirror, clearly felt embarrassed and whispered with a twirl in the air,

"Okay, alright..."

...

Setting aside the matter of the bookshelf and bedside table for now, Luo Yan was temporarily reluctant to bother players with the provision of home furnishings.

Such minor matters were better left to Jack to handle. What kind of furniture can't be bought with money?

Moreover, he had recently taken over a human church.

According to the message from Matt, it seems he had found quite a fortune in the leftover account books.

Not just cash.

Real estate in Thunder City, as well as fields near Silver Pine Town and so on, all added up to tens of millions of aurum, according to reports!

After looking at the account books, Luo Yan couldn't help but lament that these charlatans were too rich.

It seems it'll be necessary to rob the churches of Saint Sis thoroughly in the future!

Let's put aside things that are far off.

For now, Luo Yan had Youyou get rid of an overly enthusiastic woodworker using [Mission Completed], and then he took a screwdriver and started fiddling with the bed board.

The main culprit causing the bed board to fold was a few springs underneath the bed frame. After some clever assembly and linkage, the "biting force" of this device was astonishing, almost like a fully loaded ballista.

Luo Yan might not be a carpenter, but he wasn't one to shy away from tasks either. Fiddling with the screwdriver, he removed the springs and solved the problem.

"This thing should be placed at the entrance of the maze... It's quite good for dealing with adventurers."

Hearing Lord Demon King's headless remarks, Youyou whispered,

"But... Lord Demon King, would anyone really dare to sleep in the maze?"

Luo Yan stroked his chin.

"Hmm, that's a problem."

How about opening a hostel in the maze?

Providing a place of rest for exhausted adventurers, selling dubious equipment and food, while spreading the faith of the Demon God...
