Chapter 8: Woby the Mighty Slime
Chapter 8: Woby the Mighty Slime
The Slime has appeared!
--- Chapter 7 ---
"Nyuu!"
A blue, almost translucent slime hovered before Yu Long.
The newly created Kaiju has an exhilarating expression on its squishy face, making Yu Long smile a little.
I mean. Who wouldn't get excited to be the first Kaiju ever created in this world?
For this slime, it was such an honor.
Yu Long picked the slime with one hand, squishing its body one way after another. He could feel the connection between Kaiju and himself.
A list of information appeared in Yu Long's head.
Kaiju No. 1Species: Hybrid Water Slime(Kaiju)
Grade: B+
Abilities: Absorb, Dissolve, Temper, Size Alteration, Self-Regeneration, Physical Damage Nullification
Yu Long shook his head gently, "B+ for my first try?"
"Could have been A."
"Whatever, it's my first Kaiju, and I'm not very experienced either." He rubbed the slime. "I can only blame my lack of skills."
"But it's better than my previous life. My past self struggled to make the first Kaiju because no one taught him."
"What was my past life's first Kaiju Grade again? Uh, D Grade?" Yu Long recalled his memory.
The slime hopped left and right on Yu Long's hand. "Nyuu!" It created a flexible limb and pointed at itself.
"You want me to name you?" Yu Long tilted his head, to which the slime nodded in return.
A pained expression appeared on Yu Long's face as his naming sense was horrible. He also cringed from now and then, remembering his past self calling 'Destroyer of Darkness.' and 'Hands of God.' for his Kaiju.
"Wobbly, Woby?"
"Uh, I'll call you Woby from now on."
The slime jumped onto Yu Long's shoulder and rubbed its body against his cheek.
Yu Long poked the slime back, "Let's do our best, Woby."
"Nyuu!"
...
Opening his eyes, the sight of a bedroom entered Yu Long's vision.
He lifted his right arm and rotated it slightly, feeling somewhat sore.
The sensation of losing vitality after using [Kaiju Maker] to make Woby is immensely exhausting as if Yu Long's body was 'thoroughly.' sucked dry.
Wait, that last part sounds wrong for some reason.
Yu Long extended his other hand and summoned Woby.
The slime slowly materialized and checked its surroundings curiously.
Adjusting to the room, Woby looked at Yu Long and waited for his order.
Yu Long pulled a cabinet near his bed and triggered a hidden mechanism, causing the flooring to rise. Several sets of stairs appeared, and torchlight illuminated the path.
Bringing Woby to the underground level, Yu Long exposed the slime to the whole new world.
After three years of helping his father with business and some other things, Yu Long built an underground training room.
The underground training room is connected to several tunnels, spreading all over the Drifting River City's territory.
Yu Long arrived at the north tunnel, seeing two black-robed servants guarding it.
The servants bowed to Yu Long, opening the tunnel for him.
"Good job." Yu Long said while entering the tunnel.
Yu Long walked into his research room and told Woby to wait at the table nearby. Gathering some spatial rings with 100 x 100 cubic meter space, Yu Long placed them neatly on the table.
Stacks of common herbs and ingredients appeared one after another.
"Absorb these herbs." Yu Long commanded Woby.
Woby nodded and enlarged its body slowly, enveloping the herbs and ingredients.
The slime has six abilities Yu Long picked meticulously.
The reason behind such a decision was to help Yu Long make better medicine and other things.
Absorb allows Woby to absorb matter into its body.
Dissolve allows Woby to dissolve matter gathered via Absorb.
The matter is 'rapidly' broken down into its components, nutrients, and energy.
Temper allows Woby to adjust the pressure of the broken-down matters or extract. It refines them to much higher quality.
As for the Size Alteration, Self-Regeneration, and Physical Damage Nullification. These abilities are pretty self-explanatory.
Of course, there are some limits. But those limits are okay for now.
Yu Long added more commands and watched the herbs enter Woby's body.
The herbs dissolved into a pure green liquid.
The next is Temper. The liquid becomes smaller and smaller, but the pure green becomes deeper.
It happened in a matter of seconds, fascinating Yu Long.
"I took several minutes to achieve this result."
"And Woby does it almost instantly." Yu Long bitterly laughed.
He has self-taught himself medicine and the alchemy of this world for over three years, but a squishy creature surpassed him instantly.
Well, he's also the one who makes this convenient creature.
The pure green liquid inside Woby's body is the Heart Opening Liquid.
However, considering how purer and condensed the Heart Opening Liquid was, the effect will be much higher!
Fetching jade bottles, Yu Long told Woby to fill them up.
Staring at the fifteen jade bottles on the table, Yu Long couldn't help but feel surging excitement in his heart.
He drank one of the Heart Opening Liquids and used the Heart Sensing Sutra to increase his sensitivity. The world of colors welcomed Yu Long, giving him euphoria.
Shackles inside Yu Long's profound veins are loosened and unlocked.
"This is... Even my profound veins are 'surprisingly' opened." He commented with a bewildered expression.
With the help of immense vitality, Yu Long matured his profound veins earlier than others.
He also matured with 37 profound entrances opened, making him quite a genius. But he already planned to open the other entrances with the help of [Kaiju Maker].
Surprisingly, the enhanced Heart Opening Liquid has such an effect.
Yu Long frowned, "Wait a second..."
"My sensitivity. Gosh, it actually reached the tenfold threshold."
"I thought the effect would be twice or thrice much better... It is unexpected."
"Nyuu~?" Woby was confused. But then, the slime felt happiness when seeing its maker's expression.
"Woby, you're my little treasure!" Yu Long hugged the slime's massive body as it stayed after altering its size.
"Nyuu!" Woby jiggled joyfully.
Having a powerful buddy, Yu Long used every herb in the underground warehouse. Not even a blade of leaves was left behind.
...
Storing the enhanced medicine into his spatial ring, Yu Long grinned and said, "It seems we have to order more materials later."
"With Woby on my side, I don't have to be afraid of losing material in the process."
"Above all, absorbing all that herbs' waste seems to increase your power, right?" Yu Long patted the now-deflated slime.
"Nyuu..." Woby lazily lay on Yu Long's lap.
Yu Long placed Woby in his robe and went to the ground level. He was searching for Hong Guan.
Arriving at the upper training ground, Yu Long greeted the beautiful lady again, "Sister Guan!"
Hong Guan stopped practicing, "Young master."
"Why the excitement?"
After all, they just had breakfast together not too long ago. Now Yu Long returned in a giddy mood.
"Hehe, try this!" Yu Long picked the enhanced Heart Opening Liquid from his spatial ring.
Hong Guan is confused at first but still follows her benefactor's order.
She opened the jade bottle cap, and a rich medicinal aroma immediately invaded her nostrils. Her eyes widened slightly, feeling her profound veins relaxed for a moment.
She was curious now.
Drinking the liquid, Hong Guan sat down and meditated.
BOOM!
"7th Level of Spirit Profound Realm..." Yu Long commented on Hong Guan's state.
Hong Guan has been training diligently under Yu Long's shade, increasing her cultivation base steadily. At first, she's nothing but the 3rd Level of Elementary Profound Realm.
Now, she has surpassed her deceased brother.
"Y-Young master, what kind of miraculous drug you give to me?" Hong Guan asked with flushed cheeks. Her body feels hot.
Yu Long chuckled, "It's the improved version of Heart Opening Liquid."
"I have a helper who helped me recently."
"Check your profound veins. You might get a bigger surprise."
Overwhelmed by her breakthrough, Hong Guan hasn't realized two profound entrances have opened.
"..." Hong Guan was speechless.
H-How heaven-defying!
Three years ago, Hong Guan only had ten profound entrances opened.
As Yu Long studied more and raised his medical skills, he was able to open more profound entrances through acupuncture, and Hong Guan's profound entrances increased to twenty-two.
And now Yu Long opened her profound entrances again with a medicinal liquid!
"Young master, I don't know how to repay your kindness." Hong Guan sighed to herself. "Even my body isn't worth much."
"I just want to compensate Teacher Hong, Sister Guan." Yu Long responded while shaking his head.
"Also, respect yourself more."
"You're beautiful, you know?" He flashed a warm smile to her.
Hong Guan's heart pounded as she mumbled, "Mm."
"Even then, with this. We are one great step further into our revenge." Yu Long clenched his fist tightly.
"Yes." Hong Guan's eyes shone with deep killing intent. She hasn't forgotten the culprits behind her brother's death.
