Chapter 206: Chapter 74 Cheers of the Little Demons

"Lord Yila, regarding the new layout, Lady Hilena has gathered suggestions from all races and asked me to bring them to you."

While Yila was estimating the land needed for the Little Demons’ buildings, Tipcapu appeared and said this, handing over the parchment in his hand like a messenger... Looking at it this way, there were still suggestions.

That was good; Yila was afraid everyone would have no opinions, making it inconvenient later if issues arose.

Thinking this, Yila opened the parchment with relief. But upon seeing the first line, he smacked his forehead... *How foolish of me, truly. Expecting constructive suggestions from these creatures was impossible.*

The parchment was densely written with...

[Succubus: No objections.]

[Ghost: No objections.]

[Insect Man: No objections.]

[...]

Such and such, all indicating that each race had no objections. This could even be seen as a waste of parchment... It seemed Hilena still harbored some resentment over Yila’s previous nagging.

"I see, what a nuisance... Anyway, I’ll just do it myself, right?"

Yila grumbled, stuffing the parchment back to Tipcapu, and said, "Give this back to Hilena and tell her I got it... No wonder the results came so quickly; I should have guessed."

As he said this, Yila watched Tipcapu nod and disappear from sight. He continued to scrutinize the dilapidated house in front of him... Perhaps he should have gotten used to such a Demon King Territory by now.

*Superhuman philosophy, or rather... it’s a place very suitable for rebuilding the Federation.*

*If I and the other leaders integrate into the Federation system, what would we be? Members of the Federation Council? Probably... Instead, I am the force and guarantee maintaining the Federation’s existence, like an AI...*

*The Federation people trust an AI that could destroy the Federation at any moment, just as the creatures here trust me, who could destroy the Demon King Territory at any moment.*

*This is absurd.*

"..."

How could one describe the housing style of Little Demons and goblins? In short, it was a one-story wooden house, but except for the frame and beams, everything was made of dry straw, from the roof to the walls.

To be more precise... a single-story pile-dwelling structure, resembling a much smaller version of the ancient Hemudu people’s house. Little Demons even lived with poultry, having the side duty of raising chickens.

But in the new layout, Yila had separated the chicken farm.

The current environment in the Little Demons’ settlement was terrible; just walking there, one could smell an odor... The little fairies were gathered with the Little Demons from a distance, informing them of the new housing plan.

If they noticed him, they would definitely come to greet him, but Yila didn’t want them to trouble themselves with greetings. So he needed to quickly survey the situation and then present the plan to Xiao Gang.

Single-story houses were out of the question; those thatched houses had visible mold. Although seldom mentioned, the rainfall in the Demon King Territory was quite frequent... So the growth of wood-consuming trees was guaranteed, and when conducting cement experiments, Yila had to expend effort building rain shelters.

From a moisture perspective, raising the houses was best, and so many Little Demons cramped in one small house was absurd... Yila had previously seen numerous Little Demons pouring out of a house.

It was akin to the ancient times of packed carriages—you couldn’t fathom how so many fit inside... After all, the Little Demon population was large and grew rapidly.

If land area was insufficient, building upwards was an option.

Judging this, Yila noted down [Two-story? Three-story?] on the parchment... High-rise buildings were seldom seen among the civilians in this world due to limited conditions.

The prerequisite for high-rise buildings was a good adhesive... Of course, the quality of materials and foundation were equally important, and whether it was ordinary paste or sticky rice, civilians couldn’t afford it.

Even the wealthy Demon King Territory couldn’t afford to build stone brick houses with sticky rice adhesives for its subordinates. But now things were different, now the Demon King Territory had cement.

Cement, sand, stone—these could form concrete. Building houses would be more than sufficient, even without steel structures as support... and it was cheap.

Currently, a small single room housed twelve Little Demons and a chicken... With no furniture, not even beds, the ceiling was barely enough for their heads.

So designing a three-story building with ladders seemed ideal. Four Little Demons per floor provided enough space for beds... though beds were just sleeping mats on the floor.

At least one could move their limbs on the floor mats.

Each floor’s height remained as is... no, a bit taller.

Designing this, Yila felt sentimental. According to his measurements, even with three floors stacked taller, the total height was only about five meters, but much more comfortable than the current cramped "matchboxes."

"Huh? Lord Yila?!"

"Wow, Lord Yila is here to see us."

"What do you think? He’s definitely here for some work."

"Chirp chirp! Alright, let’s get to work~"

"Stop working; you’ve been at it for five days straight... You’ll die of exhaustion."

"..."

Hearing the Little Demons’ clamor, Yila turned his head, using the blueprint in his hand to block their greetings... Of course, this was an exaggeration, not literally stuffing it into their mouths.

"This is the renovation plan for your new house. Take a look... One house, three stories, four Little Demons per floor. No more raising chickens; there’s a dedicated chicken farm."

As Yila spoke, noticing the clear disappointment on the Little Demons’ faces at "no more raising chickens," he realized they really wanted to contribute more. He twitched his mouth and added, "Just wake up and work, then sleep when done."

"It’s the same structure for the goblins. I’ll discuss it with them next. Once you evolve multiple times, such houses won’t fit, and we’ll design new bigger ones. Any questions?"

As Yila spoke, he watched the Little Demons, who couldn’t understand the blueprint, with expressions of wanting to say something. He wondered if they’d come up with any constructive suggestions.

After all, they were the ones living there and would know best about this.

...

Little Demons: ...

Yila: Expectant gaze.

...

"Wow! Lord Yila invincible!"

"Lord Yila is the best!!"

"Wuuu!! New house!!!"

"..."

In the next instant, Yila was overwhelmed by the cheering Little Demons. Although they couldn’t understand the blueprint, they grasped what "three floors" and "four per floor" meant.

The Little Demons were not clever, but... they could feel it.

Lord Yila was the best person!

Little Demons: Decided! Next, we will evolve into magical girls!

Yila: ...

Vera: ... Don’t... don’t look at me.
