Chapter 485 - 455: Birth of the Dual Core Giant Slime Monster
Seeing Makar shove a big pack of materials and tools into his arms, Da Fei becomes so delighted he’s almost dumbfounded!
Da Fei excitedly says, "Teacher, how should your student proceed with the experiment?"
Makar replies indifferently, "It’s quite simple, you just need to turn on all the equipment and place it in your sewer system, these discarded alchemy tools should be piled around the Gathering Spirit Device. Normally, the creation of a giant slime monster is full of unpredictable variables, greatly related to the Life Core’s properties and the composition of the filthy substances, making it difficult to find the recipe. But this time the Demon Race has used a very high concentration of special Dark Matter, which has significantly increased the chances of producing a giant slime monster, very favorable for our experiments. In short, each successful creation of a giant slime monster will be recorded by the Magic Energy Data Recorder, then you bring the recorder to me. At that time, I can analyze which tools and substances can give birth to a giant slime monster and obtain the production recipe, which will of course also be your reward!"
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitch wildly! It turns out to be a reward for the recipe of a giant slime monster! Is that considered a BOSS? If so, does that mean breaking the game rule that BOSS units can’t be produced from barracks? Wahaha, breaking rules is what I like best!
Speaking of which, the Ghost Crystal he picked up from the shipwreck at Newbie Island was also Makar’s BOSS-level ghost research project, right? Makar is indeed a genius dedicated to developing BOSS units! In any case, I must take advantage of this opportunity to infiltrate his core circle and gain his trust! Even if I can never really earn his trust, it’s also a good choice to make mutually beneficial use of each other.
Da Fei quickly says, "Thank you for the guidance, teacher. Your student will do his best to complete the experiment!"
Makar nods and says, "The military situation is urgent, go back and start arranging immediately! As soon as you complete a sample, you can come back immediately with the recorder and report to me, and I can develop an incomplete formula, and then find ways to mass-produce it to cope with this war!"
Da Fei is ecstatic, "Yes, Teacher!"
Da Fei leaves the Duke Mansion and rushes to the Teleportation Array. His heart is filled with gratitude! Oh Makar, what a good man! How wonderful it would be if I hadn’t received a mission to oppose him! Considering he’s the hidden Death Lord, is it really okay for him to help me, his demon ally? Probably fine though, demons are always an inspiring example of resilience, they never give up and keep coming back. If you can’t kill them, why not take advantage of them?
Of course, Da Fei walking through the streets catches Star Dragon Slayer Guild’s attention. What aid could he be bringing from the Duke Mansion? It’s well-known that Da Fei could enter the Duke Mansion quite early on—a high-end path that no one can afford to take lightly. Certainly, that might also be the capital for Da Fei to proudly take shots at the Royal Family and shine across the server.
To Ma Yinglong, when he suddenly learned that Da Fei was the City Lord defending Lake Island, his reaction was of course the same as Eternal Star, both surprised and seeming inevitable. He really wanted to say something to Da Fei, but didn’t know where to begin. After all, Da Fei was not Eternal Star; Eternal Star was an opponent for many years, and understood each other even more than understanding friends, to the extent that their relationship from a certain angle seemed even closer than friends.
Da Fei, on the other hand, was an individual player that he didn’t really understand. Individual players typically just have their own little corner; once defeated, they lose everything and then turn to insulting, seeking revenge to the end, and denouncing the large guilds on the forums. Ma Yinglong had seen too many such players; he didn’t like conflicts with individual players. He was also prepared for Da Fei to come and inquire.
However, until now, Da Fei hadn’t sent him any message, which Ma Yinglong found very surprising. Does he not understand his situation? Or does he naively think that Star will help him defend the city? Or is he really so powerful that he thinks he can take on the Demon King’s army? For a player with a divine artifact, anything is possible! Ma Yinglong felt somewhat uneasy. Anyway, what Dragon Slayer could do now was one thing, to fully support the war at the Pool of Radiance!
Now, Da Fei is facing the real titans of the China Region’s large guilds, and the real top teams. As an individual player, is he just a little stone in the way between two giants, or a titan who can sway the war? Those involved could only wait and see. There are still 3 gaming days left—7 hours in real life—and all answers will be unveiled this afternoon.
...
Teleporting all the way, Da Fei returns to Radiant City. No more talking, he heads straight to the sewer to set up the experiment. Surrounded by advisors who don’t know what Da Fei intends to do, they follow along without question.
The sewer is no longer smelling fresh as a newly built toilet; a thick black gas spread throughout the sewer.
Da Fei frowns—can Fishmen live in such an environment? Of course, they can. Fishmen can also show you how to live in dark, stinky swamps. But if this continues, what attribute will the next generation of Fishmen have? Dark Fishmen? Whatever the attribute, I’ll welcome all comers.
Ahead in the sewer lies a black mire as viscous as asphalt, countless small slime monsters the size of footballs wriggling everywhere.
The Sanitation Consultant immediately says, "My lord, we can’t go any further. The walls and ceilings ahead are covered with this dark mud, which can be lethal to living beings."
The Cultural Consultant adds, "The Fishmen have been relocated to schools for learning, so my lord doesn’t have to worry about their safety for now."
Having advisors around sure is worry-free! They can handle a lot of things that many players wouldn’t think of. Da Fei nods with satisfaction, "Good. Now we are going to create giant slime monsters, which will be key to our victory in this battle!"
While speaking, Da Fei pulls out the Alchemy Materials Space Bag given by Makar, and all kinds of equipment are scattered on the ground.
—System Prompt: has started. Please activate the Magic Energy Data Recorder, the Gathering Spirit Device, and scatter the discarded equipment around the Gathering Spirit Device...
——System Prompt: Experimental equipment is in place, please have all experimenters stay over 10 meters away from the testing area...
With the activation of the Gathering Spirit Device, those soccer-ball-sized Slime Monsters in the sewer began to wriggle and gather towards the device. The old equipment scattered around the Gathering Spirit Device caught their attention and after a moment of hesitation, one small Slime Monster swallowed something resembling a stirring rod while another devoured something akin to a filtering funnel. Subsequently, nearby Slime Monsters continued to congregate around these two, fusing to form two wheel-sized Slime Monsters!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully developed 2 giant Slime Monsters! The Magic Energy Data Recorder is recording the data, please do not manually direct the movement of the Slime Monsters!
"Success!" Da Fei and a group of consultants burst into victorious cheers!
The Military Advisor was even more excited: "My Lord, by moving these two Slime Monsters towards the outflow, they will gather even more Slime Monsters along the way just like a snowball gathering snow. Then, dispatching them to the Pool of Radiance will allow for mass purification of pollution!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Of course! But this is just the beginning. Our goal is to refine the recipe for mass production! I want to see whether the Demon Race’s pollution is more formidable, or my Slime Monsters are more badass!"
The consultants were energized: "My Lord is wise!"
——System Prompt: The Magic Energy Data Recorder has completed recording data, finishing sample data collection. You have completed the first phase of the Giant Slime Monster Development Experiment.
Haha! Just like that, the task is completed! It’s even more straightforward than the dialogue quests in Newbie Village; I’ve never had such a smooth experience completing a quest!
Just then, a collective exclamation of surprise from the consultants: "My goodness, the two giant Slime Monsters are fusing again!"
Da Fei raised his eyebrow to see the two Slime Monsters moving closer and merging into an even larger Slime Monster!
——System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully developed a Dual Life Core Giant Slime Monster! The Magic Energy Data Recorder is recording the data, please do not manually direct the movement of the Slime Monsters!
What? Dual Life Core? The name alone sounds awesome! The BOSS Slime Monsters I encountered in the competition were so ferocious with just a single core, does this Dual Core mean my Slime Monster has two lives? Does it mean more badass functionality?
Da Fei quickly checked the monster’s attributes:
——Dual Life Core Giant Slime Monster (Under Development): Giant Spiritual Creature, Attack 0, Defense 0, Life Value 20, Damage 0-1, Attack Speed 1, Move Speed 2, Special Skills: Aggregation, Devouring, Dirt Absorption, Dark Energy Absorption, Dual Core.
——Aggregation: The giant Slime Monster can gather smaller Slime Monsters to increase its own size and enhance functionality. The Life Value of the giant Slime Monster is the sum of smaller Slime Monsters’ Life Values. Additionally, when attacked, the giant Slime Monster can split into smaller Slime Monsters.
——Devouring: The slimey body of the Slime Monster can devour its prey.
——Dirt Absorption: Slime Monsters need to absorb polluted substances to grow, which can serve as city sanitation.
——Dark Energy Absorption: The giant Slime Monster can absorb Dark Energy to grow, converting Dark Energy into Mana stored within itself.
——Dual Core: The effects of all special skills of a Dual Core Slime Monster are increased by 100%, and it is difficult to defeat.
......
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched wildly! These are the Basic Attributes of the giant Slime Monster? If measured by the concept of conventional troops, that’s like a puny farmer! But of course, Da Fei, who has witnessed the fighting methods of Slime Monsters, knows their badassery! Of course, Da Fei now doesn’t need its combat power; he only needs its special skills!
And its special skills did not disappoint Da Fei! The 100% enhancement of Dual Core special skills is really badass! It’s not as simple as 1+1=2! Moreover, there’s an additional special skill specifically for absorbing Dark Energy, capable of both pollution treatment and Mana production, doesn’t this special skill resemble that of a Level 1 Demon Child from the Demon Race? Eating grass and producing milk, isn’t it?
Da Fei burst into triumphant laughter! Brother is going to mass-produce!
