Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Don't be too ridiculous about offline meetings

  In the next few days, Xia Mi frequently created opportunities to meet Rooney. At the same time, he gave Rooney a lot of gifts through inadvertent phone calls.

Having a skeleton undercover in Rooney's office, Xia Mi can be said to have accurately grasped Rooney's usual interests and hobbies.

 The relationship between the two quickly became closer.

On this day, Xia Mi knocked on the door of Rooney's office again.

 “Please come in.”

Rooney's voice came.

Xia Mi walked into the office, closed the door, and sat on the chair in front of the desk.

In the office, the skeleton is sitting quietly in the corner.

Rooney looked at Xia Mi and laughed.

“Teacher Edogawa, what do you want from me? The tea you sent last time was very good.”

“This is our specialty tea over there. If Director Rooney likes to drink it, I will bring some over next time.”

The tea that Xia Mi gave to Rooney came from the tea garden in the Elf Forest. He got it from the golden-haired girl. The quality was of course the best among the best.

“Hahaha, it seems that Mr. Edogawa has adapted very well to our school. The recent specialty classes are also very popular among the students.”

Xia Mi followed Rooney's words and talked about Rooney's identity through small talk.

“I heard from other students that Director Rooney is a master of architecture…”

  “Ah, I do have a relatively deep involvement in architecture.”

Rooney is not overly modest. He still knows his place in architecture.

“Then I wonder if Director Rooney is interested in designing a castle?”

Xia Mi asked naturally.

“Castle? Of course. I have also designed many castles and have a good understanding of this aspect.”

Rooney touched his beard and looked at Xia Mi with interest.

“But isn't Mr. Edogawa a herdsman? Why do you have such thoughts?”

Xia Mi explained.

"I have saved a little over the years, mainly because I have a 79-year-old girlfriend in my hometown. She is quite rich and wants me to return to my hometown in a year or two so that the two of us can build a castle to live in retirement. "

Rooney looked at Xia Mi in surprise, and then showed a comforting expression that everyone has his or her own destiny.

“It's indeed understandable to take this shortcut. Being a little older is not a problem. To be optimistic, at least the probability of her leaving before you is much higher.”

Rooney sat up straight.

“In that case, let me see if there is anything I can do to help you, Edogawsensei.”

Xia Mi nodded and took out the Demon King's Castle that had been built with clay from his backpack.

“It turns out that Edogawsensei already has his own preliminary ideas.”

Rooney took the city blank and began to look at it.

“To build such a huge castle brick by brick is not something that can be completed in a year and a half.”

“Don't worry. If you can't finish it, leave it to future generations, so they can experience the taste of unfinished buildings and mortgage loans.”

 “Ahahaha, I appreciate this spirit.”

Seeing this, Rooney didn't say anything more in this regard and began to study the city blanks carefully.

The more Rooney studies, the more he feels that if it is successfully built, it will be an incredible castle, at least more magnificent than the royal castles of many kingdoms.

This suddenly aroused Rooney's research interest.

As a master of architecture, he generally would not allow others to help design buildings. After all, the houses where ordinary residents live, no matter how carefully designed, are already limited by the small space that can be used.

 The castle in front of you has unlimited possibilities. If you design it carefully, you can definitely design a treasure that will shock the entire continent and all races.

Seeing that Rooney was looking very fascinated, Xia Mi slowly raised his doubts.

“Director Rooney, what do you think now?”

Rooney briefly came to his senses.

Although he had many thoughts about the construction of the castle, Xia Mi in front of him and his 79-year-old girlfriend behind him were the owners of the castle. He asked Xia Mi for his opinion.

“This castle is highly designable and may become one of the best in the world in the future. I wonder what doubts Edogawsensei has at this stage?”

Of course, this is the base of the Demon King's Castle.

Xia Mi sighed inwardly and began to extract useful architectural information from Rooney.

“In terms of site selection, where should this castle be placed? As a reminder, I hope that the location of this castle can be a little more hidden and not so easily discovered by others.”

Rooney thought hard.

"Is that so? Does it require high concealment? That requires detailed analysis...the choice is..."

Rooney said, mentioning the resource level.

"However, the location of the castle must be chosen in a place with abundant resources, so as to ensure the normal supply of resources inside the castle. If it is built next to the pig house, it can still borrow the power of the pigs in the early stage, and in the mid-term it can Exchange items with the pig guards."

 “Does this race really exist in this world?”

Xia Mi frowned.

“What about security? If all the humans attack one day—I'm just assuming, it doesn't have any special meaning. After all, the castle does need to be secure—then how should it be built to have relatively high security?”

“I understand that the security of the castle is a very important issue.”

Rooney has a great understanding of this aspect and gradually expressed his opinions to Xia Mi.

“You can work on the surrounding areas outside the city, as well as on the city walls and outer buildings of the castle. The castle is huge and gives a certain space as a defense facility, which will not affect daily living at all. If it were me..."

Rooney began to explain in detail the core model of Demon King's Castle.

Xia Mi all listened.

Time passed quickly, and by the time Xia Mi came back to his senses, three or four hours had passed.

“Director Rooney's words were very unique and gave me a sudden enlightenment.”

Xia Mi sighed deeply.

Rooney smiled warmly. Being able to express one's own views on architecture is one of the most enjoyable things for people in the field of architecture.

 “A few final questions.”

"Speaking."

 “A question about the master's room.”

Xia Mi became mysterious at this moment.

“As for the master's room, wouldn't it be enough to have a large master bedroom and a small bedroom in the study to be used as the male master's sleeping place during the Cold War?”

 Rooney's ideas are already very comprehensive.

 But Xia Mi's situation is obviously a little more complicated.

“I said yes. If in the future, many women may live in this castle, their relationship with the male owner is a bit confusing. How to arrange their rooms...”

Rooney quickly understood what Xia Mi said.

The male master of the castle is a black-haired boy, isn't he?

Sure enough, the honest-looking black-haired boy in front of him has already thought about distant things. It's no wonder, after all, one is only in his twenties and the other is already 79 years old.

 Very few men remain widowers after the death of a woman, so it is understandable that she would find a new love.

 “In that case, you can do it like this…”

Rooney is very open-minded about this aspect and continues to explain.

 The two exchanged experiences of the day.

 When it got dark, Xia Mi left Rooney's office. The two of them said goodbye.

Xia Mi has a new understanding of the construction of the Demon King's City. Of course, he is only listening to ideas and will not copy Rooney's ideas and views.

 Next, he will look for the goblins, and after combining the goblins' ideas, he will basically be able to officially take charge of the construction of the Demon King's City.

 The Campus Idol Competition is going on as scheduled.

After several rounds of byes, several girls also came to the knockout round.

In the knockout round, the contestants are randomly divided into pairs to compete. Within a certain period of time, they can use various methods to collect popularity, and the method is not limited. In the end, the person with the highest popularity collected wins, and the other person is eliminated.

 Therefore, in the knockout round, each contestant used their special skills to gain as much popularity as possible in the school.

Xia Mi looked at the opponents assigned to his four girls. None of them were very popular, but as time passed, their popularity increased linearly, constantly catching up with the popularity of the four girls.

 The popularity of the four girls has hardly changed. If this continues, something unexpected may happen.

As an agent, Xia Mi lurks among the students to see how the contestants can increase their popularity.

 Without exception, contestants almost all hold offline meetings on campus to increase their visibility on campus.

Although this is a very old-fashioned method, Xia Mi saw that the popularity of the contestants who held offline meetings increased to varying degrees, indicating that this method still has its uses.

“So, I decided to arrange an offline meeting for you.”

Xia Mi looked at the girl in front of him as if issuing a mission.

“The popularity collected through personal introduction videos has reached its limit. Now if we want to continue to grow in popularity, we must hold offline activities.”

 The four girls looked at each other.

 “Is it finally the day's turn?”

 The elf girl was slightly emotional.

 “What's wrong?”

Xia Mi looked over.

“It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think about holding an offline meeting and having to shake hands with male fans.”

Xia Mi has already had a countermeasure for this.

 “Don't worry. The jelly is out.”

Jelly quickly jumped out of the pet box, aimed at the hands of several girls, and sprayed a thin layer of substance.

"This is an ultrthin and delicate slime harmless mucus cover, with almost no traces visible. After you put it on, you will not have real contact with other people when shaking hands, and it will not leave any bacteria or germs on your hands. Traces, feel free and bold to collect popularity!”

“There is just one side effect. Because they are made from slime, the gloves have a lot of exciting effects. When using them, do not put them on sensitive parts. After use, remember to wash your hands in time.”

“To put it bluntly, it's actually a strange condom made of slime!”

 The elf girl noticed it immediately, and then coughed when she saw the atmosphere was deserted.

 “I'm just making a guess, I'm not familiar with this aspect.”

During the Campus Idol Competition, contestants are free to choose locations on campus for meetings, and the organizer will also provide personnel assistance.

With the help of the organizer, the offline meeting of the four girls was quickly carried out. As highly popular players, the four of them got a very good place for publicity.

Because it was carried out at the same time, Xia Mi could not take care of the four girls at the same time, so he could only walk back and forth in the four stalls.

Xia Mi first came to the stall of the white-haired girl.

The white-haired girl stood alone in front of the booth, with employees from the organizer behind her and many new students from the Swordsman Academy who came to help. It looked very lively.

 Nowadays, most of the people queuing up in front of the stalls are students from the Swordsman Academy.

“It seems that Lina is very popular in the Swordsman Academy.”

 “Where, where is…”

The white-haired girl became shy.

“I haven't actually done anything, but everyone wants to be my friend for some reason…”

 “This is the charm of Lina.”

Xia Mi said sincerely, feeling quite proud of Bai Mao.

At this moment, one or two swordsmen with bruises and swollen faces ran over.

“Boss Lina, those people from the Knight Academy were not convinced, they robbed our goods and injured our people.”

 The white-haired girl quickly took out her sword.

 “What? Don't you know that I own that territory?”

“What kind of friend are you? I treat you as the boss! You are the boss of the gang in the Swordsman Academy!”

 I have only not understood Bai Mao for a few days. Why has it reached this point?

Xia Mi frowned and grabbed Bai Mao who wanted to leave the stall.

"But those swords were reserved by us first." Bai Mao looked at Xia Mi pitifully.

“So it turns out that the Swordsman Academy and the Knight Academy are competing for equipment? Let's put that kind of thing aside for now. The current task is urgent.”

 In the end, Bai Mao stayed in the booth obediently and shook hands with the fans who came.

 Because there are a large number of students in the Swordsman Academy, and Lina is the only one who can persist to this point, Lina's offline meeting was surrounded by people from the Swordsman Academy, which was quite spectacular.

Xia Mi saw that Bai Mao was in good condition and came to Elze's stall.

 Before I got closer, there was a traffic accident on the nearby school road.

An old man was hit by a truck pulling goods. The driver stood beside the old man at a loss. Many people stopped and watched.

Xia Mi walked over slowly.

 The old man was struggling painfully on the ground, touching his waist with one hand and supporting the ground with the other.

People around him were whispering, and the driver quickly clarified.

“It wasn't me who bumped into it, it wasn't me who bumped into it, it was the old man who came up to it himself.”

 But the discussion around him has not diminished.

Oh, does anyone dare to bump into an old man these days?

 I don't even dare to help him.

Xia Mi felt that the old man looked familiar.

　　　“Don't say more useless words to get yourself off the hook, you young people who don't watch the road.”

The old man was lying on the ground and beckoned the driver to come closer.

“There are two ways, either to compensate for the medical expenses, five hundred thousand gold coins.”

 The driver's face was ashen.

 “You can't do it even if you kill me…”

 “Another way.”

 The old man looked around and secretly stuffed a poster into the driver's clothes.

 “Go and vote for this cute girl. I'll let you go. Don't tell this matter outside, you can't play with me.”

At this time, Xia Mi vaguely saw the college logo on the clothes under the old man's ordinary coat.

 College of the Wise

Are these old guys from the Academy of Wise Men playing a popularity blackmail game? !
