Training as a Slime (7)

Faced with the seemingly never-ending corridor and increasing hunger, Cori wished he could just grab the food from the kitchen. He stretched out his paw and imagined grabbing some random food, hoping to use his imagination to placate his palate. Much to his amazement, his paw stretched like rubber into the hallway as his main body shrank in proportion. After it reached the stretching point, Cori propelled through the air and slammed into the living room. "Ding! new skill (Qing Gong) captured." "How is this even Qing Gong..." Cori wondered while soothing the bump on his face with his paw.

He entered the dining room through the living room and sure enough, there was a breakfast spread waiting for him. Clotted cream with scones, waffles with sweet mochi and ice cream, and a plate of honey bacon and sunny side up. It did not take Cori long to wipe the plates clean and cleanse his palette with a good mug of milo dinosaur. Fulfilled, he wobbled back to the corridor and activated his new skill - (Qing Gong). This time he managed to manoeuvre albeit clumsily mid air and bounced off the wall like a ball instead of splatting against it like a giant headless cockroach.

Utilising his time, he took care to examine the crystals and gemstones. Out of the corner of his eyes, he noticed a golden light shimmering on the table. A gold pendant... "This could be valuable," he thought. He rummaged through his thoughts and was able to recall from the books he had read that the red gems were known as power stones, the blue crystals were mannas, the yellow gems were spirit stones, and the clear stones with white light were holy diamonds. The other crystals and gems were crafting materials with different specs.

Cori felt he had landed in a gold mine and maybe that was the theme of the room- a magical mine with various minerals, crystals, gems and other precious ores. "If only I had some sort of spatial magic," Cori wished. "Maybe, just maybe there could be a spatial bag of some kind in this place and I could use it to store the items." Cori squeaked eagerly feeling pumped up at the idea of the treasure hunt. Using his (Observation) skill, he tried to expand the skill's radius to places he had explored. "Ding! skill level up!" Cori noted that continual usage would increased the experience required for levelling up.

After scanning, he managed to identify suspicious artefacts that could potentially be a dimensional storage item.
