Chapter 22 Sparkling Slime that I Like (2/3)_1

Back in his territory, it was just past eight in the evening in the real world, but on the Eternal Continent, the sky was still bright, and Mu Yuan had no plans to go out any further.

He had to strike a balance between work and leisure.

And now was the time to rest... no wait.

It was time to tally up the spoils of war.

He had already done a rough count at the Goblin Camp, but it was too dangerous out in the wild for him to take a closer look. Only now did he take out these materials one by one.

"Among the various materials, there are 11 RedBlood Fruits. However, these were found in the Goblin Camp... oh well, when I found them, they still looked clean. It's not the fruit's fault."

"There are also Filling Fruits, Strengthening Bone Fruits, and other types of fruits. These can be digested internally by the Skeletons and the Dead Bone."

When extracting treasures to the real world, the inter-dimensional shipping fee is quite high, so he will try as much as possible to digest internally, and if it doesn't work, he would think about selling them in exchange for resources.

"Oh right, didn't I mention yesterday that I would head over to the association today to sell the Remnant Souls?"

"Forget it, I'll leave this challenging task to myself tomorrow."

Mu Yuan lined up the Remnant Souls one by one.

A total of six Random Remnant Souls, two Goblin Wraiths, one Three-Star Big Slime Wraith, and three Random Remnant Souls harvested even earlier.

The total number of Remnant Souls had reached double digits.

He planned to recruit the Big Slime himself to see what it looked like.

As for the Random Remnant Souls, naturally he'd trade them, trying to get Little Skeleton Remnant Souls in exchange. As for the Goblin Wraiths...

"They don't seem to be worth much?"

"Let it be, they could probably sell for some Soul Sand...right?"

"And this amulet..."

In the game world, he already had an amulet. Mu Yuan planned to bring this one into the real world and wear it on himself.

To give his weak physical body a little more sense of security.

"Among the previously obtained treasures, apart from the Big Slime Wraith and the Shaman Staff, this Heritage Stone is the most valuable."

This was a symbol stone that shimmered with green light and was engraved with mysterious patterns. Within it, one could vaguely see a hunched figure.

A Goblin Shaman!

"Heritage Stone (Rare)"

"Description: A Heritage Stone that carries the 'Goblin Shaman' profession, which can make a Chosen One acquire this profession and strengthen themselves through cultivation."

"Note: Ordinary civilians can also use the Heritage Stone, but there is a chance of failure."

Players have several mainstream paths to constantly become stronger and gain extraordinary power.

Receiving nourishment from soldier types is one of them, and using a Heritage Stone is another.

For ranger players, the number of soldier types they can rule is limited. Relying on nourishment to enhance themselves takes time. Moreover, nourishment only enhances the basic aspects like physique and spirit for players, but cannot give players special abilities like spitting fire or water.

A Heritage Stone can.

As the name suggests, after using it, players will gain the profession of that soldier type, and are able to absorb Soul Sand to level up and continuously break through.

However, using Heritage Stones also has drawbacks. Once used, players almost definitively fixate on this profession, which is hard to change, even if they want to use the same method to replace it with a higher-ranked profession.

Therefore, players are extremely cautious when using Heritage Stones, and basically no player would use a Heritage Stone for one-star or two-star professions.

"The Goblin Shaman is a rare one-star soldier type, so its Heritage Stone is pretty valuable and won't lack a market. However, it's said that players who have used Heritage Stones will gradually take on the appearance of that soldier type."

"The changes are minor at low levels, but if players break through to the professional level or the elite level, they might... possibly have some significant traits of that profession."

What are the characteristics of a Goblin Shaman?

Short, hunchbacked, green-skinned, sparse-haired, full of wrinkles.

These features detract too much from an appearance, which naturally discounts the value of the Heritage Stone.

"The most commonly used Heritage Stones by players are usually derived from human soldier types, while others like the Nature Elf and Elf Priest, their Heritage Stones are often priced higher than those of the same tier, by quite a bit."

Many female players and even quite a few male players are after the Elf series of Heritage Stones.

Who wouldn't when most Elves are handsome guys and beautiful girls, especially the higher-ranked ones?

The Goblin Shaman profession isn't the least desirable either. Soldier types like Frost Giant Wolf, Hellhound, and Tree Guardian may be strong, but not many players would use them because these soldier types aren't even humanoid, causing poor compatibility.

Mu Yuan was browsing the Tai Xuan Forum for information related to Heritage Stones, mainly to check out the price trends.

Suddenly, he noticed a few quite interesting Heritage Stones.

The Witch Legacy Stone.

"The Witch is a rare soldier type among humans, well-versed in various spells and quite powerful. However, the special thing about the Witch soldier is that they are all female."

"And once a male player uses this Legacy Stone, it will…"

Experience a series of remarkable transformations.

He had heard of an overseas organization known as the Witch Sisters, but how many large [bleep] witches were among the witch players, he had no idea.

Similar Legacy Stones with marvelous powers, like the Magical Girl Legacy Stone and Eunuch Legacy Stone, etc. also exist.

...

In his territory, at the Altar.

Mu Yuan placed the Three-star Remnant Soul on the altar and began the recruitment process by communing with the heavens and the earth.

'Ding!'

'Prompt: Do you wish to consume 'Three-star Remnant Soul×1,' and 'Soul Sand 15g,' for targeted recruitment of three-star troops 'Big Slime?' '

'Yes!'

...

The familiar glow appeared, causing ripples in the surrounding space.

Soon, a large, two to three meters high being that resembled a blue jelly-like creature plopped down on the altar.

It and Mu Yuan were standing face to face, big eyes staring at small eyes.

"Gu Ji~"

"Gu Ji Gu Ji~"

Its large body shook like a water ball filled with water, rolling towards him.

Mu Yuan could only employ his nimble maneuvers and dodge sideways.

This blob of Slime isn't very smart, is it? But that's to be expected, given it hasn't awoken its self-consciousness yet. The 'Gu Ji Gu Ji' is merely a part of the Slime's biological instinct.

A mere Slime, even a noble three-star troop, doesn't warrant too much attention.

After all, he's already broken the double digits for his three-star troops.

Mu Yuan couldn't expect a random Big Slime that he recruited to be as extraordinary as Dead Bone. How could that be possible?

He has to learn to get used to the cute and ordinary troops.

Fortunately, he has his right-hand man, Dead Bone, to take care of everything, so he doesn't need to worry about anything.

He handed Big Slime over to Dead Bone's management and switched the screen to the player forum next door.

At this point in the Eternal Continent..

Dead Bone is also a bit troubled by the new task assigned by his lord. It's not that he is unwilling, it's that managing other skeletons is an easy task for a skeleton like him since they understand each other's ways and behaviors. But looking after a Slime...

He doesn't know how to.

After all, it's only been three days since he became a resurrected skeleton, so how could he know what the hell is this jelly... Slime in front of him?

Dead Bone is worried, his soul fire is burning even more fiercely than in a battle, he is racking his brains and thinking constantly.

But they, the skeletons, don't need to eat anything. Does this big blob of Slime need to? And if so, what does it need?

That's it!

Dead Bone pushes some collected materials in front of the Big Slime. Lack of knowledge isn't a problem, he can leave the problem to those who know what to do.

Big Slime's round eyes widen, "Gu Ji?"

Dead Bone: "Gu... Gu Ji...?"

Perhaps there's some kind of communication between 'Gu Ji's.' Big Slime instantly moved its body and shoveled its way to a pile of shiny materials, opened its big mouth, and swallowed it in one slurp.

Its eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.

Shiny eyes were looking at Dead Bone as if saying: Is there more? Is there more?

Dead Bone understood the Slime's body language and was enlightened, "So that's the diet of a Slime."

...

Mu Yuan doesn't know that his Slime is a bit quirky and doesn't eat grass, but instead likes to swallow shiny things. If he did know, he would say this is a wasteful creature.

Why did he choose the Slime troop? Isn't it just because Slime can survive on grass, which is widely available and very cost-efficient, making it an ideal choice for a hardworking 007 laborer?

The bloodline of this Slime is way too impure!

But he has to raise the Slime he recruits, even if it costs tears.

Mu Yuan hasn't switched back to the game screen yet, he is very confident in Dead Bone. At this time, he is already mingling in the newcomer's section of the Tai Xuan Forum, happily surfing around.
