80: Slime Kingdom

Skill: King's Guard

Skill Level: Intermediate Skill

Skill Type: Retainer Skill

Skill Description:

As the king of the Slime Clan, this pet is eligible to have a guard. The guard can be one level higher than the pet. Whether through charm or other means, the pet must be uncontracted and willing.

“PS: The guard does not belong to me, but to the clan, and neither do I.”

Although the condition of willingness sounds difficult, it's not impossible to solve.

It's still the same saying: we don't force others, we just force willingness.

With some "friendly" help from Mind Emperor, the Slime Kingdom gained its first great general.

The Mutated Ice Slime, due to its higher intelligence, integrated into the Slime Clan very quickly. In just the next few days, it quickly became familiar with its daily work.

Work ①: Accompany Mind Emperor in gaming every day.

Under the suppression of external forces, condensing Energy Value to form hands was already something it could do with ease.

Work ②: Spar with Yabao.

Because the gap between Yabao and Qingyan after evolution was too great, there was no reason to let Qingyan spar with her anymore.

Under the guise of ensuring team friendship, the equally Commander-level "Qingzhi" was made her sparring partner. Compared to Mind Emperor, Yabao would still hold back, although it was basically a one-sided beating.

However, because its current training task was "Sword Qi Specialization," it would at least wait for the cold energy to recover before attacking again, so it didn't get too injured.

Work ③: Train the blue Slime.

This was probably one of the few times each day when it could be happy. Its unique nature led to alienation from the Slime Clan when it was outside.

But for some unknown reason, perhaps due to the King's Skill, other ordinary Slime with questionable intelligence clearly recognized it, as if treating it like a normal Slime.

There was communication and greetings, which made it much happier than being alone outside.

The Slime Kingdom in the secret realm was thriving, but the King, Yuan Wang, was leaving today.

Because the reservation for Thunderbolt Canyon had been approved, Yuan Wang was going with his master to find a new great general.

Unlike the nature of the Frost Lake secret realm, Thunderbolt Canyon was entirely a secret realm belonging to Lingdu University, so there was no talk of taking a quest to recover some health.

Even paying money required advance reservations, so even if Li Wen's actions at Frost Lake ended early, he still had to wait until the reserved time to enter... Li Wen, wearing a protective suit, arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. This time, two other people entered with him, both locals from Lingdu, and one of them was even a student at Lingdu University.

He had a delicate face and long, squinting eyes that seemed to hold a smile, curving slightly.

His long golden hair gently fluttered, shimmering with a soft luster with the rhythm of his steps.

He looked like a porcelain doll, but he had an indescribable aura that made Li Wen feel an urge to stay away from the squinting eyes.

Li Wen's protective suit naturally earned him a roll of the eyes.

The person guarding the secret realm was also a student, and he looked at the blond man and said,

"Senior Ruan Yiming, you're back at Thunderbolt Canyon again to increase the power load limit for your Crimson Dragon?"

Ruan Yiming maintained his characteristic squinting eyes and said, "Everyone has their own aspirations, just like you, junior, aren't you here working part-time to earn credits?"

"My aspiration is to tune all my mechs to the same frequency, fulfilling my initial design for them."

"That's not the same. If I had your combat power, I definitely wouldn't be working part-time here."

Ruan Yiming just smiled and didn't retort.

"Let's not chat anymore. There are two other people waiting for you to open the secret realm."

Li Wen: Those squinting eyes belong to a good person.

The secret realm opened, and the three entered together.

"You can just wander around the periphery. Don't go too deep into the canyon; it's too dangerous for you."

Leaving that remark, Senior Ruan headed straight for the depths of the canyon.

Only Li Wen and another person remained. The other person also looked like a high school student and walked away on his own without any communication.

Since the other party had no desire to communicate, Li Wen wouldn't be presumptuous.

Looking around, though it was called a canyon, the terrain was unexpectedly spacious. This outer area seemed like a basin, and perhaps only by gradually entering the canyon would one experience a canyon-like environment.

This was only good for Li Wen, with no drawbacks. The open view greatly helped him in finding pets.

With a glance, he found his target.

Slime (Purple)

attribute: Thunder

Race: Agile Low-Tier

...It was a simple matter. "Crowded" VIP seating.

Such solitary Slime naturally couldn't satisfy Li Wen's appetite. He still needed to find a Slime Clan and a Gold-attribute pet for the ticket he spent this time to be worth it.

Thunderthorn Ball

attribute: Thunder/Gold

Race: Elite Low-Tier

growth level: Entry-level Intermediate

Energy Value: 410

trait: Thunder Weave:

In a stormy environment, the Thunderthorn Ball can absorb and store thunder energy, doubling its attack power. At the same time, thunder and gold energy will mutually enhance each other, forming powerful destructive force.

Skill ①: Golden Roar

In an emergency, the Thunderthorn Ball can use lightning to vibrate its metallic body, emitting a huge roar that causes damage and has a small chance of causing enemies to enter a confused state.

Skill ②: Electric Thorn Assault

The Thunderthorn Ball can condense electric elements to form sharp electric thorns, launching a sudden attack on enemies. The electric thorns are fast and have strong penetrating power, making them a deadly weapon in thunderous combat.

(PS: Under the cover of lightning, my attacks will be untraceable.)

..."Bud... Bud~"

"Charge... Slash"

With just one sword qi, the Thunderthorn Ball immediately lost its combat ability.

Qingyan successfully Entered Dream without any resistance, a repeat performance.

Enter Dream Simulator

You were born as a Thunderthorn Ball. Shortly after your birth, your parents were killed.

At one year old, you were very hungry. You unconsciously absorbed the surrounding thunder energy, and you were full.

Energy Value +50

At two years old, after an episode of overeating, your body experienced irregular vibrations. You actively initiated it and began to roar.

Skill [Golden Roar] learned successfully.

At three years old, you learned from experience and decided not to be reckless, choosing to develop cautiously. You diligently absorbed thunder energy and worked hard to control it.

Skill [Electric Thorn Assault] learned successfully.

At four years old, you still played it safe, continuing to develop and attempting to absorb more thunder energy. Ultimately, you absorbed too much and self-destructed, dying.

Your life has ended.

Li Wen: Awesome, so I can't live past four years old, huh?
