37 Handling of increased control area ①

 Enter the meaningful information you heard from canon into the Memo app on your smartphone.

 The experience required for the Demon King to raise his level by 1 is the value of an enemy of the same level* the value of his current level* 20.
 In order to raise the level from 3 to 4, it is necessary to kill 60 (3*20) level 3 enemies.

 The experience required to raise the level of enemies other than the Demon Lord by 1 is the value of the enemy's current level*5.

 The experience value obtained from an enemy whose level is lower than your level will be multiplied by 50% for each level down.
 (Example) Assume your level is 3. If you kill level 3 enemies, you will gain 1 experience point. When you kill level 2 enemies, you gain 0.5 (1*50%). You can gain 0.25 (1*50%*50%) of experience value when you defeat level 1 enemies.

 The experience value obtained from enemies higher than your level will be multiplied by 110% for every 1 level gained. The experience value obtained from enemies higher than your level is multiplied by 1000%.

 Every monster has its own level. The standard levels are F-rank 1-2, E-rank 3-5, D-rank 6-9, C-rank 10-19, B-rank 20-49, and A-rank 50 or higher.

 When the player defeats a group of players, the experience value will be distributed according to the level of contribution.

 If the player is in the dominant domain, 10% of the experience value will be shared by the creator. If they are outside of the area of control, the creator gets 5% of the experience value.

 The experience of enemies defeated by traps is shared 100% by the creator.


 I'm most interested in experience and level.

 I think it's a well thought out specification. The experience gained from dealing with weaklings is only decreasing. It can be said that if the human race and the demon king don't grow together, the levels will stagnate.

 ........Is that really true? A devilish thought crossed my mind. However, the idea had many holes and seemed unfeasible, so I decided to forget about it.

 In other words, the only way to quickly level up is to make effective use of traps or fight myself....... It was the most damaging to me personally to find out that expedition leveling by the military was not that efficient.

 Next, the unclassified information.

 When a demon king reaches level 5, he learns 《Division》. The 《Division》 seems to be the act of dividing the dominant area and selecting the master of the temporary dominant area from the subordinates. I guess it's like a delegation in a simulation game. It seems that there are various restrictions, such as the master of the temporary dominion area can't create subordinates, so it's hard to say it's a panacea.

 The Demon King evolves when he reaches level 10. Also, they learn the 《Ruling》. Ruling" is the act of turning humanity's land into a dominant domain. It's a complicated process, but it's still a long way off.

 Goblins and kobolds evolve through four stages. Dark elves have two stages of evolution. Lycanthrope also evolved at four stages. By the way, most of them are slimes with 10 stages of evolution.

 Some humans, dwarves and elves can be smelted. Dark elves cannot be smelted.

 The rest of the information is unimportant, such as goblins' favorite food, so I'll skip it.

 After getting a certain amount of information from canon, I had run into a difficult situation.


  ◆


'I'm sorry. It's my fault...

 The canon, which was partly responsible for the difficult situation, apologizes apologetically.

'Well, you didn't know it was going to happen, did you?

 The knowledge I got out of canon was very useful information. Even though I could force myself to get it out of him if I instructed him, I didn't want a nasty relationship, and I returned the follow-up words.

''No, I knew about it as knowledge but I didn't get around to it.

 Kanon remains depressed, as if the expression I showed her earlier was really shocking.

 I operate my smartphone to check the status of the 【Ruling Area】 once again.

 Special Effect Pseudo-Peace (18 hours left) 

 The difficulty that the canon caused was the increase in entrances - with the expansion of the area of control - the increase in entrances.

 The increase in the number of entrances meant that there were more places to protect.

 Whenever I set up a course of action, I always made a careful simulation.

 How was I able to simulate the situation as an ordinary college student?

 I was taking mainly economics at university, not military strategy. It was not military strategy. I was born in a peaceful Japan and had never been involved in war or conflict.

 I based my fantasies of simulation on experience and knowledge gained through books, movies, anime and other creative works, and games.

 Because I was a lonely and omnivorous person, I read a lot of creative works of various genres and played games of various genres.

 Naturally, it's impossible to defeat enemies with absolute strength like the protagonist of a game, or to defeat a thousand enemies alone like in an action game. However, there were many situations where it was applicable. In fact, I don't know what would be useful, since I'm actually surviving on that experience.

 If I were to apply this situation, it would be a simulation game based on the Warring States period in China and Japan, where the goal is to unify the world. There are several tipping points in this type of game where the difficulty level ramps up. One of them is when the number of dominant lands (castles) increases in the early stages of the game.

 The benefit of increasing the amount of territory is an increase in national power. If I had to guess, in my current situation, it would be the increase in DP. The maximum value of DP has increased by 50 since I expanded my dominion territory with the Surrender. Furthermore, it will allow me to set up resting areas and such, which will further increase my maximum DP.

 If possible, I'd like to see the maximum value of CP increased in addition to DP...I sincerely hope that's the case.

 Well, I digress. In contrast, the disadvantage is the decentralization of forces. Furthermore, what I'm facing isn't a game, it's reality. There's no enemy waiting for me while I'm thinking, and there's a limit to how much I can see everything from a bird's eye view, so my awareness is decentralized.

 If I set up two entrances side by side... and then I come up with an idea, am I a genius? I couldn't help but admire myself, but I couldn't set up the entrance unless I was some distance away.

 12km2*3 levels of dungeon quellies are too cumbersome........ Isn't there something like the Demon King Intermediate Pack?

Do you think humanity knows I've taken control of canon territory?

'Hmm, they know, don't they? It's all over the internet.

I know...

 It seems that the dominant realm of canon was the Demon King's Beginner Pack (hybrid type). It's a dominant realm that combines a vast forest and ruins. In contrast, my dominion area is a dungeon type. It's an unrelated topic, but it seems that the hybrid type expands the internal structure of buildings that can be set up in it.

 

The dungeon type dominant realm is a big monolith from the outside. As an image, it is similar to Ayers Rock.

  That's what I'm saying.

''At the very least, if Xion-san's level was 5 or higher, or if you had come directly to take away the [True Core], my dominion realm wouldn't have changed its shape...''

 Huh? What's that? It's my fault?

"Ah! No, it's not like it's Sion-san's fault or anything... well, I mean, I mean... it's my fault!

 The blame for Kanon's accusations showed on his face, and Kanon hurriedly explained to him.

 Kanon can't read the air sometimes, can he? His aptitude is the same as mine [Chaos], and maybe he's the same attribute as me: solitary (blah) = communal.

'Well, that's fine. By the way, what would have happened if you were level 5 or higher?

If it was level 5 or higher, we could divide it up, so if we could select the master of the temporary control area on the spot, it seems we could rule it as is.

'So many complicated and convoluted specifications...'

I'm sorry...

 It wasn't a specification that Kanon had decided on, but for some reason, Kanon apologized.

'Wait......... You were able to move the [True Core], right?

 My area of control expanded, I had two [True Nuclei] in my possession. It's a hassle because there are two things to protect. We can put them together in one place.

''It's possible, but...''

If you didn't keep them out of the dominant realm, they could create and alchemy, right?

No, the territory, to be precise.

 Kanon replies in an apologetic whisper.

'Territory?'

''Yes. Zion-san's [True Core] territory is this room.

 If you ask me, I've never let [True Core] out of this room, or to be more precise, out of the freezer.

''You say that if you take it out of the territory, you can't create or refine it?''

''No, since Sion-san possesses two [True Core], even if you move one [True Core] out of the territory, you can still create and refine it. However.........

But?

In that case, Mr. Theon's maximum CP will be cut in half.

'What? By any chance, if the number of [true nuclei] you hold increases, will your CP increase?

Yes. Didn't I tell you?

I didn't say.

 I hadn't checked my status (CP) because I had too much to think about. Since I smelted the Mithril Spear, I was caught off guard that I had 10 hours to recover my CP to its maximum.

 I mean, it's past 10 hours, right?

 Aaaaaaah! God! Too much work!

 I was scratching my head from stress.
