Chapter 302 The Method of Hatching Eggs (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Shocked as they were, the Crimson Demon Lord was, after all, a demon who had seen the world.

After a moment of contemplation, He looked at Yu Zhun and slowly spoke.

"Kid, you're in luck."

"I happen to know a way to speed up the hatching of monster eggs, and I know more than one way."

“However…” the Crimson Demon Lord grinned, “why should I tell you?”

"I knew you'd say that." Yu Zhun shook his head helplessly. "I'll pay back all the medals I owed you before."

"Huh?" The Crimson Demon Lord glanced at Yu Zhun with disdain. "That was money you owed me. How can you call that a transaction?"

"Then what do you suggest?" Yu Zhun looked at the Crimson Demon Lord. "If all else fails, I'll ask others, like Ming Yun..."

"Fine, I'll tell you." The Crimson Demon Lord decisively interrupted Yu Zhun, looking at him with displeasure. "Don't threaten me with that hateful woman, Jular."

"Add another 100,000, and I'll tell you how to speed up the incubation process."

“Your price…” Yu Zhun couldn’t help but frown.

"Don't be so quick to refuse." The Crimson Demon Lord waved his hand, a hint of amusement in his eyes as he looked at Yu Zhun. "Just now, while we were talking, I heard some interesting news."

"It seems your world has encountered some minor troubles."

"No wonder you came here."

"I can guarantee that no matter which method I teach you, you will be able to hatch the monster egg within a month and escape this calamity."

Yu Zhun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This guy is incredibly shrewd.

The last time He sent the Crimson Demon Lord to attack Augustine, He negotiated with Him while secretly gathering information.

This time, it's the same again.

After the third transformation, He finally understood how to use the ability to project avatars.

"Ten thousand it is, just say it." Yu Zhun took a deep breath.

We've already spent millions of God and Demon Medals, so this little bit won't make a difference.

Moreover, he was already used to owing money to the Crimson Demon Lord.

"Then it's settled." The Crimson Demon Lord chuckled. "There are roughly three methods."

"The first method is to have a powerful demonic expert at the level of a demon lord inject demonic power into the demonic beast egg."

"In this way, the monster egg can not only hatch instantly, but its talent potential can also be enhanced to a certain extent."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun was instantly moved.

Instant hatching, and it can even enhance talent?
Demon Lord, isn't there one right in front of you?

He couldn't help but look at the Crimson Demon Lord, and was about to blurt out the words "choose this method" when he saw the malicious smile on the other's lips, and Yu Zhun suddenly became alert.

Yu Zhun could understand injecting demonic power into the monster egg to accelerate its hatching, but why did it have to be at the level of a Demon Lord?
The Crimson Demon Lord's words were practically an attempt to entice Yu Zhun to come and do this!

"Is there anything else you haven't finished saying?" Yu Zhun stared at the Crimson Demon Lord. "What are the downsides of this approach?"

"Tsk~ How boring." Seeing that Yu Zhun had realized what was going on, the Crimson Demon Lord shook his head regretfully.

"The side effects are also quite simple."

"The monster egg is not a bound item. Under normal circumstances, the first target seen after hatching will be regarded as the owner."

"But if this method is used to catalyze the monster egg, the egg will absorb the demonic energy of a powerful demon before it hatches..."

"After being born, one will naturally not recognize others as one's master."

Yu Zhun's face darkened.

There was definitely a trap, and a huge one at that.

If someone were to impulsively make this choice, the monster egg they obtained by spending 60 medals would likely end up with the Crimson Demon Lord.

That old swindler!
"What are the other two options?" Yu Zhun asked in a deep voice.

"The second method is to exchange for a treasure called the Tear of the Demon Abyss from the Treasure Hall. It can also make the monster egg hatch immediately, and its effect on improving talent is even better."

"But the Tears of the Abyss cost 100 million God and Demon Medals for a single drop."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun fell silent.

Even if he could produce such a divine and demonic medal, he probably wouldn't have the chance to enter the treasure hall again anytime soon.

Seemingly sensing Yu Zhun's dilemma, the Crimson Demon Lord chuckled, "If you can't get into the Treasure Hall, I can help you change it!"

"I'll take a 10% handling fee, and you can just consider it as you owing me another 1.1 million God and Demon Medals, how about that?"

Yu Zhun glared at the Crimson Demon Lord.

This guy is really good at scheming.

After thinking for a while, Yu Zhun decided to listen to the third option first.

If the third method doesn't work, then borrowing money from the Crimson Demon Lord might be the only option right now.

What is the third option?

"The third way~" the Crimson Demon Lord said leisurely, "is to incubate it with something containing the essence of a powerful demon."

“I don’t have that kind of…” Yu Zhun said subconsciously, but then he paused abruptly, a thoughtful look on his face.

It seems he really does have one!

The essence of a powerful demon is normally contained within the individual, but under certain circumstances, it can be separated.

That's a special instance!
Yu Zhun not only has such a copy, but he has two of them!
One is the Lv40 special dungeon [Heavenly Lone Star], separated from the Dark Cloud Demon Lord Jular, and the other is the Lv60 special dungeon [Tower of Lunar Eclipse], separated from the God of Lunar Eclipse!
Although the latter is a powerful god, the Tower of Lunar Eclipse is entirely composed of demonic power that erodes the opponent!

Furthermore, the [Tower of Lunar Eclipse] dungeon also has a certain time acceleration capability!
Simply throw the monster egg into the Tower of Lunar Eclipse...

Yu Zhun's expression immediately brightened.

"It seems you understand now." The Crimson Demon Lord sighed. "Actually, I still hope you choose the first option."

"If all else fails, the second option is also good."

"But no matter what, spending 100,000 medals was worthwhile, wasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun's expression darkened again, even though he had been excited.

He was almost certain that the Crimson Demon Lord knew from the beginning that placing the monster eggs in the Tower of Lunar Eclipse would accelerate their hatching.

Therefore, he deliberately placed this option last, trying to trick himself into choosing the first two methods.

The first method this guy tried was to get the monster's egg for free.

The second method is for the other party to wave their hand and leave him with a mountain of debt.

What annoyed Yu Zhun even more was that accelerating the incubation didn't require the Crimson Demon Lord to do anything; Yu Zhun could do it all by himself.

This guy actually used this method to swindle 100,000 yuan from me!
The Crimson Demon Lord is indeed a cunning old fox!
Seemingly worried that Yu Zhun would scold him, the Crimson Demon Lord chuckled and disappeared from the spot. The patterns on Yu Zhun's hand spread rapidly, becoming more and more complex. Only by paying off all the debts could they dissipate.

Yu Zhu, who was standing to the side, spoke softly.

"Yu Zhun, it seems like you've been ripped off."

Yu Zhun: "..."

He almost forgot that his conversation with the Crimson Demon Lord had been overheard by Yu Zhu and the nine supreme experts.

Turning his head, he saw that the expressions of the nine supreme experts looking at him were all somewhat complicated.

"How did you come to know a Demon Lord?" Ji Ruoxu couldn't help but ask.

"Well... it all started with the special instance, [Crimson Moon Tide]." Yu Zhun briefly recounted his past with the Crimson Demon Lord, from their first meeting to the present.

“You need to be careful in your dealings with that Crimson Demon Lord,” Ji Ruoxu said solemnly. “No demonic powerhouse is easy to deal with; they have all fought their way out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.” “I understand,” Yu Zhun nodded slightly.

Although the Crimson Demon Lord helped him several times, upon closer reflection, the other party hadn't actually given anything in return.

The fact that the Crimson Demon Lord killed Augustine was a good opportunity for Him to replenish His mythological fragments, essentially a freebie.

This time, he earned 100,000 yuan just by talking.

He would have to be even more cautious when dealing with the Crimson Demon Lord next time.

"In any case, the issue of the protectors has been resolved." Zhu Xiuming breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He no longer needs to ask the Pavilion Master of Dengshen for help.

The two were friends, but both were equally proud.

Sending Zhu Xiuming to plead with the Master of Dengshen Pavilion is simply too much to ask.

"Okay, I'll try it now." Yu Zhun nodded and began attempting to send the monster egg into the [Lunar Eclipse Tower].

It sounds simple, but it's not easy to actually do.

The reason is simple: the Tower of Lunar Eclipse is a special instance in the World of Divine Revelation.

Although the monster egg has not yet hatched, it is already a third-tier item, exceeding the level cap of the [Divine Revelation World] dungeon, and can only exist in the normal world of Blue Star, which is not a dungeon.

After repeated attempts, the nine strongest warriors and Yu Zhun and Yu Zhu worked together to find a balance between the two. Yu Zhun sent the monster egg into the Tower of Lunar Eclipse and then put it into his backpack.

The trade-off is that the Tower of Lunar Eclipse dungeon will be temporarily closed until the monster eggs hatch.

However, compared to the life-or-death crisis facing Earth, this is a minor issue.

With the most pressing issue resolved, the atmosphere in the meeting room visibly relaxed.

"That way, Lorcras can't blackmail us anymore," Tang Yulong chuckled. "He's probably still gloating right now, thinking he's got us figured out, isn't he?"

"I'm really curious to see his expression then."

“More important than that right now is to find out about Jora’s situation,” Yu Zhun said slowly.

He only just learned that Jora had lost contact and was likely connected to Lorcras.

This gave him a bad feeling.

If he could find out what happened to Yora, he might be able to find a way to help.

The moment the thought popped into his mind, the patterns left by the Crimson Demon Lord suddenly flashed, and then that smug voice appeared in Yu Zhun's mind.

"I just heard some news that I'm sure you'll be interested in."

"Consider this a gift for you."

"That little girl named Jora has gotten into trouble."

Did you commit a crime?
Yu Zhun's gaze sharpened. "What did you do? Explain yourself."

"What else could it be?" the Crimson Demon Lord said helplessly. "Temporarily imprisoned, and as punishment, a portion of my essence is being diverted."

Upon hearing this, Yu Zhun revealed a knowing expression.

Right.

Whether they are divine or demonic powerhouses, as long as they belong to the Divine Demon Palace lineage, they must abide by the rules of the Divine Demon Palace.

As for the punishment of those who break the rules, according to Yu Zhun's current understanding, it seems that only special instances are available.

So, Yora is currently imprisoned, and a portion of her original essence has been transformed into a special copy?
Seemingly guessing what Yu Zhun was thinking, the Crimson Demon Lord spoke quietly, "Any third-level powerhouse who is imprisoned for committing a crime will be given some time to design a special instance themselves."

"That little girl is at this stage right now."

In other words, it hasn't been converted into a special copy yet?
Yu Zhun took a deep breath, a surge of hatred for Lorcras rising in his heart.

Jora had only recently returned to the third rank, and was far from regaining her peak strength. Weakening her origin would only make her weaker.

Lorcras didn't want Jora to succeed him as the protector of Earth, so he resorted to this tactic.

That guy, damn it!

But right now, the most important thing is to help Jora.

This is the first time Yu Zhun has hoped that a dungeon will never be perfectly cleared.

Immediately afterwards, a thought suddenly struck him.

If I could offer some suggestions for Yora's dungeons, would it reduce the likelihood of special dungeons being perfectly cleared?
Thinking of this, Yu Zhun quickly asked the Crimson Demon Lord.

Upon hearing Yu Zhun's idea, the Crimson Demon Lord was also taken aback.

You actually thought of such a tricky task as helping design a dungeon?

But upon closer reflection, the Crimson Demon Lord became interested.

After a moment of contemplation, He slowly spoke, "Theoretically, a third-tier powerhouse who is in the design phase of a dungeon is imprisoned and unable to contact the outside world."

Upon hearing the Crimson Demon Lord say "theoretically," Yu Zhun immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Alright, that's settled!
"Tell me, how many medals do you want this time?"

Yu Zhun was already used to the Crimson Demon Lord's extortion.

"This time, I can help you get in touch with Jora for free," the Crimson Demon Lord said with a smile.

Ok?
Could the Crimson Demon Lord really be so kind?
There's a saying that goes, "What's free is often the most expensive!"

Yu Zhun immediately became alert. "Speak your mind."

"Your wariness of me really hurts me." The Crimson Demon Lord sighed dramatically. "You're very good at clearing dungeons, so I wanted to take this opportunity to see your dungeon design skills."

"If you can truly succeed in getting Him to preserve His origin..."

"You can design my dungeons from now on, right?"

At this point, the Crimson Demon Lord chuckled, "Although the Divine Demon Palace claims to establish a force where gods and demons coexist, the divine system still holds a higher status than our demonic system, plus some other reasons..."

"There are significantly more special dungeons in the demonic system than in the divine system."

"You understand what I mean, right?"

"I understand." Yu Zhun suddenly realized, "So you're a repeat offender, whose source power is frequently drained for various reasons?"

Crimson Demon Lord: "..."

That is indeed the case.

But what you said was really hurtful.

"Just tell me if it's okay or not!" The Crimson Demon Lord broke down.

"Alright, alright." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile. "You help me get in touch with Yora first, and we can talk about our business later."

Then, you'll be the one asking me for a favor.

The medals you've swindled now, won't you have to swindle them back double later?

After the Crimson Demon Lord left again, Yu Zhun looked at the others and briefly explained his deal with the Crimson Demon Lord.

Everyone present was shocked to hear that Yu Zhun planned to design a dungeon for Yora.

"Yu Zhun, are you sure?" Ji Ruoxu looked worried. "Designing dungeons is something that is usually done only at the third job advancement stage."

"Strategy guides and design are two completely different things."

"Give it a try," Yu Zhun smiled. "Consider it a rehearsal for the future."

According to the Crimson Demon Lord, if he chooses the demonic path, he will likely get into trouble in the future.
