Chapter 118: Chapter 117: Is it Possible to Play This Way with a Slime Monster?
Translator: 549690339
Clearly, the slime monster very much enjoyed the taste of the highly poisonous wood armor. After gulping one down, it immediately began engulfing the next without any pause until its body was filled to the brink. Only then did it settle down.
“This little creature really will eat anything.”
He remembered that there seemed to be a toxin resistance skill among the slime monster’s abilities. He wondered if it acquired it by eating this way.
In this case, it seemed like it wouldn’t cost too much to raise this little creature.
A smug curve formed at the corner of Bai Qi’s mouth as he quietly expanded the slime monster’s menu a little more.
“Let’s eat first,” he said.
Bai Qi looked at the now dripping wood armor wild boar meat and took a bite straight away.
The meat was tender and required almost no effort to chew. After swallowing, he could feel a wave of energy flowing from his stomach to the rest of his body, quickly replenishing the energy he had lost while running.
The strength recovery from the meat of a low-level elite creature was indeed impressive, nearly on par with God’s Water, except it couldn’t restore spirit power.
Apparently, he didn’t necessarily need to limit his focus to supplements, nutritious meals seemed to be another good choice.
While Bai Qi was feasting heartily, Beta wasn’t idle either. It squatted beside him, enjoying its own meal. As for Alpha, it was quietly handling the roasting process.
Seeing the one-man-three-pet spectacle, other Beast Masters also hastened their roasting process.
However, it was clear that not many of them had a moving encyclopedia like Schuck. Some of them who came late didn’t even remove the highly poisonous wood armor and just started roasting it.
Everyone had access to the Pet Beast Illustrated Handbook, but it didn’t tell you how to cook wood armored wild boar.
“Their wilderness survival skills are too poor. I wonder what the guys back at the guild are doing.”
Leng Feifei looked at the so-called elites’ clumsy cooking methods, a flicker of impatience in her eyes.
At this rate, they would have trouble surviving not only in the wilderness but also in larger secret realms.
Sure enough, as time passed, signs of poisoning gradually appeared among some Beast Masters. Some were even so severely poisoned that their whole bodies swelled and glowed green, with the trend of evolving into giants.
“Phew, I haven’t had such a satisfying meal for a longtime.”
Bai Qi rubbed his bulging belly and laid down contentedly on the ground.
Since his awakening into an Evolution Egg, he had gradually adopted the habit of using supplements to curb his hunger. It had been a long time since he had the tangible sense of satiety.
“Maybe I should keep a few wild boar in my secret realm. After all, I don’t lack a bit of space.”
Woof woof!
(I approve!)
Slurp slurp!
(I agree!)
Upon hearing Bai Qi’s words, Husky immediately stopped what it was doing, raised its paws to show its approval. Even the slime monster, who was silently digesting the highly poisonous wood armor, formed a hand to express its opinion by imitating Husky.
Seeing this, Bai Qi couldn’t help but find it amusing.
He’d truly raised two big eaters.
After Bai Qi had eaten his fill, he began to observe the people around him.
Bai Qjucha and Lu Qjng were also quick, having processed the wood armored wild boar and started eating.
However, unlike Bai Qi’s wolfish manner, these two only cooked the most essential parts of the wild boar. They even had a pair of cutlery which they used to eat their pork chops.
Tsk, these big shots do have a refined way of eating. Seeing this, it seemed like he should prepare a cooking kit for the secret realm.
By then, he could cook sweet and sour ribs, red-cooked lion’s head, or twice- cooked pork. Would that not be more delicious than a simple roast?
Bai Qi then looked in another direction. Gu Shan was also in the middle of his meal, and he seemed very skillful, clearly not new to this.
However, some other people were in quite a predicament.
There were some who were knocked out by the toxic fumes from the wood armor before they could even start eating. Others were not fully conscious from eating the meat without properly removing the highly toxic wood armor. There were even those who had completely turned green and started wreaking havoc. Out of almost a hundred Beast Masters, only around twenty had a stable lunch.
Soon, an hour had passed, then Leng Feifei finally stood up, looked around, and said, “Time’sup!”
As her words fell, the grills in front of everyone disappeared, together with the half-eaten roast pig.
“It’s over, Auntie Leng is going to blow a fuse.”
Bai Qjucha glanced at the chaotic scene and had a pretty good idea of what was about to happen.
“Can’t even run or eat properly. What the hell did you guys eat growing up?”
As expected, after a short silence, Leng Feifei suddenly exploded, verbally lashing out at all the Beast Masters.
“You even managed to poison yourselves eating wild boar. You’ re still calling yourselves elites… If I were you, I would… If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and…”
A series of censored words flew out of Leng Feifei’s mouth like a machine gun. The young Beast Masters’ faces were red and hot, they wanted to retort, but they had no idea where to begin.
“How long is Instructor Leng going to scold them? Those guys seem like they’re almost out.”
Bai Qi glanced at a few people nearby who were gasping more than they were breathing and asked.
“Don’t worry, it should stop before anyone of these fellas die.”
Bai Qiucha shrugged and said, “But for now, we just have to wait.”
Bai Qi was silent, following Bai Qiucha’s example, he kept his eyes on his nose and nose on his heart, silently bearing Lip’s baptism of Leng Feifei.
Although it was a little harsh to hear, Leng Feifei’s words were not without merit. Physical strength determined the effectiveness and duration of the Beast Master Talent, and the choice and processing of food decided the survival of the Beast Master in the wilderness.
The two seemingly simple tasks of the day were closely related to the field adventures of the Beast Master.
Kapok?!
Seeing its food suddenly disappear, the Slime gathered a question mark over its head, seemingly puzzled by where its food had gone.
However, the Slime quickly identified a new target.
The green giants soaked in toxins.
Then, to Bai Qi’s surprise, the Slime bounced over to a student who was deeply poisoned, and swallowed him in one gulp.
“Holy cow, that thing can’t be eaten!”
Seeing the actions of the Slime, Bai Qi was instantly panicked.
If it had swallowed a student from the special training, he wasn’t even sure if he would be able to leave the classroom in his lifetime, let alone becoming a Legendary Beast Master.
You just can’t raise a glutton.
Fortunately, the Slime didn’t digest the student as he had feared. Instead, it visibly absorbed the toxins from the student’s body and quickly moved onto the next student.
By the time the toxins from the last student were absorbed by the Slime, it had completely turned into a big green ball and rolled back to Bai Qi. It spat out a green bubble and fell into a deep sleep.
The Slime is used in this way?
Instructor Leng also noticed the existence of the Slime and suddenly lost the mood to continue the lecture, saying, “The training for today ends here, and the collective training this afternoon is cancelled.”
With that, Instructor Leng disappeared on the spot.
“Phew, saved at last.”
When they saw Instructor Leng leave, the Beast Masters breathed a sigh of relief. After many gave Bai Qi a grateful look, they rested on the spot. Zhou Yan and several others quickly gathered around Bai Qi, staring intently at the Slime. “Bai Qi, this Slime of yours hasn’t been contracted yet, right? Consider it, trade it to me? The price is negotiable!”
Zhou Yan showed a strong interest in the Slime and directly stated his intention as soon as he arrived.
“Sorry, I still want to keep it for personal use.”
Bai Qi responded without hesitation, refusing Zhou Yan’s request.
Physical mutations were one thing, but knowing that this little fellow can also detoxify, Bai Qi would never give it away under any circumstances.
Looking at the resistance skills of this little guy, Bai Qi estimated that it could also absorb other things like radiation, apart from detoxification.
A pet that can remove DEBUFF, he would have to be out of his mind to give it away!
“Okay, but I guess a hug won’t hurt.”
Zhou Yan sighed a bit disappointingly, then didn’t wait for Bai Qi’s agreement, hugged the Slime in his arms, apparently treating it like a pillow.
“That Slime just absorbed a large amount of toxins, if you don’t want everyone here to get poisoned again, you better be gentle.”
Watching the Slime constantly changing shape in Zhou Yan’s hand, Lu Qing pushed her glasses up and quietly reminded him.
“What’s there to be afraid of, if worse comes to worst, we can let this little guy absorb it back.”
Zhou Yan shrugged indifferently, then turned to Bai Qi and looked pitiful. “I mean, Bai Qi, aren’t you really considering selling me this little guy? It’s such a cute pet and it really doesn’t fit into your pet lineup.”
Bai Qi was speechless, is there a thing about pet lineup matching these days?
And who said my pets are not cute?
Look at Alpha, then look at Schuck Beta, which one…
Okay, none of them is really a cute pet.
“Never mind, I’ll go and catch one myself another day.”
Looking regretfully at the Slime in his hand, glowing like a green gem, Zhou Yan stuffed it back into Bai Qi’s hand. Then he turned around and walked back the way he came.
“Now that the afternoon training has been cancelled, I’m going back to train by myself. See you tomorrow.”
Looking at Zhou Yan taking the lead, Lu Qing didn’t stay any longer. She pushed her glasses and followed Zhou Yan.
“Let’s go back too.”
Seeing the other Beast Masters leaving one after another, Bai Qi didn’t plan to stay any longer.
Discovering the Slime’s new use today, naturally, he wanted to study it carefully.
Could it be possible to build up a Slime with full resistance and that would mean he wouldn’t be affected by any DEBUFF anymore?
Except for not being able to replenish health, this is simply a perfect auxiliary pet beast!
