Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Slime

Chapter 53 -53 Slime

“Can these potatoes be made into landmines?”

As Bai Yi picked up the potatoes, preparing to start breeding them, this question suddenly popped into her mind.

Both being food crops, Bai Yi had already transferred genes from rice to potatoes before starting the breeding process.

The compatibility for infinite multiplication was explosively high and had broken through the 200-point threshold—only 150 points were needed for fusion.

The thick fat needed slightly more, but still just required 300 magic points.

But since rice was already available as a food staple, potatoes weren’t as necessary, and her thoughts started to wander.

Moreover, Bai Yi realized,

this really might work!

That was the gene from the Blazing Marching Ant—Combustible Conversion.

Although Bai Yi hadn’t gotten around to modifying the Marching Ants yet, their genes were indeed useful.

If the potato could store enough explosive material, wouldn’t it become a Potato Mine!

“Such a pity though, it needed a full 1000 magic power points for fusion, so I have to put it aside for now…”

Bai Yi sighed and fused the potatoes in her hand with infinite multiplication.

Since it was just a temporary version, Bai Yi temporarily named the new species after fusion Potato Mine Type I.

Although it currently had nothing to do with Potato Mines, it was actually a high-yield food crop.

Its main feature was being super easy to grow—just bury it anywhere.

It would then begin to grow rapidly, crazily absorbing nutrients from the surroundings and environmental magic to reproduce into its complete form in the shortest time.

In optimal conditions, it could fully grow and produce plump potatoes within just three days.

Furthermore, if not dug up in time, these potatoes would become new plants, eventually forming a vast network of interconnected potato roots.

“It kind of has the vibe of Endless Moss, is this what top-tier compatibility looks like?

If it only required 100 magic power points, how high would the compatibility need to be…”

*This plant had an unbelievably overwhelming breeding ability, and unless Bai Yi could find a way to grant them intelligence to follow her commands, she had no plans to plant them outside.*

But well…

“The greenhouse counts as an independent space, it won’t easily spread out, which is good.”

She opened the door of the glass greenhouse, where the temperature was a bit warmer than outside.

After finding a spot and burying the potatoes she had in hand, Bai Yi began to use her superpower to accelerate growth.

The results were much better than Bai Yi had anticipated. Starting with just three potatoes, each plant was capable of producing at least ten after propagation.

She tinkered in the greenhouse for half an hour, and Bai Yi spent most of the time digging up and finding places to bury the potatoes.

In the end, Bai Yi simply went with the flow.

She would dig up a potato and just toss it aside, knowing that after using her superpower to accelerate growth, the potatoes would find soil to root themselves.

As a byproduct, after leaving the greenhouse, Bai Yi harvested a pile of potato vines.

Though they couldn’t be eaten, Bai Yi still collected them using a Bone Dagger.

After all, there was a Mushroom Breeding Box next door that needed dried grass for consumption. There might be enough straw for now, but you’d never have too much of it, right?

After handling the potatoes and vines, the next step was to wait for her magic power to recover and prepare for today’s monster attack.

Yet today’s attack was a bit different.

At 11 a.m., the notification announcement appeared right on time, and today’s refresh point was marked in Bai Yi’s mind.

“Southwest!”

Still commanding the excavation of the water channels, Bai Yi suddenly turned her head towards a direction.

Surrounding Bai Yi were three hero units already gathered, except for Nong Er, the support hero, due to the challenge time approaching.

As soon as Bai Yi muttered that word, the three others understood what she meant and were ready to rush in that direction.

But Bai Yi restrained them with a beetle, pulling them back.

“Don’t rush, head back to the giant tree first, I’ll use the beetles to transport you. Nong Si, your main mission this time is to seize the chance to study that array. Zhan Yi and Zhan Er, take care of her, as the insect swarm will protect you.”

After assigning the tasks, the four quickly returned to the giant tree.

Bai Yi immediately went into the tree hole, finding a comfortable position to lean on, and her consciousness connected to the insect swarm.

With the insect swarm handling the air transportation, even though some time was lost earlier, their speed in getting to the scene was not much slower than the last time.

Today’s array wasn’t much different compared to yesterday’s.

Of course, for someone like Bai Yi who was an outsider, even if there had been changes, she wouldn’t have recognized them.

Controlling the insect swarm to hide in the banyan trees around the array, Bai Yi’s consciousness stayed within the swarm, quietly observing Nong Si’s research in front of the array.

…

One hour passed quickly,

just like the day before, the array suddenly emitted a blinding white light, and today’s monsters appeared before Bai Yi.

[Current difficulty Level 8, Wave 1: lv.10 Corrosive Slimes*500]

“…”

Whether it was the real Bai Yi body inside the territory or the three of Zhan Yi at the scene,

everyone had the same expression when they saw this large mass of green slimes.

“This is tough…”

Though they looked weak and feeble, Bai Yi, after glancing at the panel, understood why these slimes could serve as the day’s monsters on day two.

Mucus Slime (1st Rank/Green)

Life Value: 120

Magic Power Value: 60

Level: lv.10

Talent:

Mucus Body (Green), immune to puncture and slashing damage, reduces physical damage received by 10, but damage is doubled if the core is hit

Skill:

Corrosion (White): The mucus has corrosive properties, dealing 1 point of corrosive damage per second to targets it touches

[Small, but not cute at all!]

Though inherently weak, just one talent rendered it immune to most commonly known physical damage.

Whether firearms or swords, these were almost all within the immunity range of this talent.

Unless one could precisely hit the so-called core, otherwise, some large explosives would be necessary.

As for Bai Yi’s subordinates,

aside from Nong Si, nearly all were focused on pure physical damage. Even Zhan Yi’s Skeleton Soldiers were countered by these slimes.

Nong Si’s magic power was limited, not to mention tackling all seven waves today, even finishing off one wave was questionable.

The Fungus Umbrellas, which originally served as the territory’s defense line?

Their spore fog couldn’t even affect the slimes.

Where they couldn’t even parasitize, what role could they play?

It was foreseeable that today, many Lords would probably be delayed by this mass of slimes.

Fortunately, she had other methods at her disposal.

The size of the array hadn’t changed, meaning the insect swarm’s telekinesis could still overlay and cover.

Yesterday, she chose the lowest power solely to let the Fungus Umbrellas parasitize, which left some small leeway for the goblins.

But since today it couldn’t be used for breeding Fungus Umbrellas, Bai Yi didn’t hold back.

[Spiritual Strong Thought]

All the beetles spent 30 Spiritual Value of telekinesis to crush the fragile spirits of the slimes combined.

As the real body of the slimes, the core shattered instantly.

Without the core, the slimes could no longer maintain their form, dissolving into a puddle and scattered core fragments.

[Current difficulty Level 9, Wave 2: lv.10 Corrosive Slimes*300, lv.12 Flames Slimes*200]

“More formidable opponents?”

Within the second wave of slimes came several red individuals.

Though they were called Flames Slimes, Bai Yi saw from the panel that they lacked any fire-breathing capability. Instead, they had a talent similar to the Marching Ants.

Upon death, they would cause an explosion, dealing fire damage to nearby targets.

Not much damage, but it was annoying.

However, since there was nothing special, Bai Yi didn’t hesitate and continued using telekinesis to remove them.

[Current difficulty Level 10…]

[Current…]

For the first time, Bai Yi had a real sense of the bio-diversity of slimes.

Flames Slimes, Cold Ice Slimes, Dragon Blood Slimes…

No matter how flamboyant a name they’ve got, none lasted more than a few seconds in front of telekinesis.

Even with the appearance of half-human-high elite slimes in the third wave, Zhan Er could knock out their core in just two hits.

Ultimately, these slimes were just “mechanism monsters,” once you understood how to kill them, they were quite easy.

Until…

The insect swarm’s Spiritual Value was completely exhausted…

…

Dragon Blood Slimes: Slimes infused with dragon blood were no longer as weak as other races, their bodies surging with unmatched strength, even warriors at the same level might find it hard to compare…
