Chapter 27: Chapter 26 Recessive Talent_l
Translator: 549690339
On the edge of the village, Mu Yuan walked to the side of the Big Slime, where there were still some remnants of uneaten food.
Ugh, it didn’t seem right to describe these shiny, unknown substance remains as food.
Did the Big Slime get indigestion because it ate these things?
Wait a minute!
Why are there some…some scattered items floating within the huge, seemingly frozen body of the Big Slime?
There are fragments of broken iron, shattered gems, the unknown metal, luminous mushrooms and so on.
The Skeletons collected these materials bit by bit during an outing. They aren’t that valuable, but they are useful; Dead Bone used these scraps to set up many traps and defense lines.
In addition, some unranked materials were also collected, just in case they could be useful.
And the Big Slime swallowed quite a lot of these.
It ate them, but not completely.
These things are bound to be too hard to digest, right?
Dead Bone is innocent.
Maybe… perhaps…possibly… Supposedly… the recipe is wrong.
What should Slime eat? Scholar Dead Bone started pondering seriously.
It was quite a hassle, but Mu Yuan finally managed to coax the Big Slime into vomiting out the odds and ends from its body.
This jelly-like blob was still discontented. It kept hopping towards the scraps. Was it greedy for money or food? Aren’t you scared of choking to death!?
The Big Slime which was adorably clueless, showed no grandeur of a “Great Lord.” It didn’t understand, it just wanted to eat.
It was making a desperate sound of “gudiji gudiji”.
Yeah… it’s not smart at all.
But Mu Yuan saw something else, this Big Slime was somewhat unusual.
After all, where could you find an ordinary slime that causes so much trouble? It was not to follow natural instincts or the Lord’s commands. In this sense, the Big Slime had a bit of Spiritual Wisdom.
But its Spiritual Wisdom was expressed in such a weird way.
Why was it obsessed with these shiny objects?
Mu Yuan conducted some tests.
He ordered Dead Bone to hold down the Big Slime and pulled out various items and treasures one by one, swaying them in front of the Big Slime to observe its level of craving.
As expected, when Soul Sand appeared, the Big Slime started struggling violently.
Unfortunately, even though it was huge, as a level-one creature, it was effortlessly pinned down by Dead Bone. It groaned pitifully.
In the subsequent tests, Mu Yuan found out that the Big Slime wanted to get its hands on the RedBlood Fruit, Filling Fruit, and so on.
Should we call it a glutton? However, it also wanted some clearly inedible objects, such as the Shaman Inheritance Stone.
You just can’t want everything! That will do you no good!
Actually, the Big Slime had shown a desire for Soul Sand before. However, since Soul Sand isn’t a necessary food and is an important strategic resource, Dead Bone didn’t dare to give it to the Big Slime without Mu Yuan’s permission. On top of that, what if it ate too much and died?
Oh, it seemed like it had already eaten too much earlier.
The Big Slime started acting pitiful and the effect was exceptional.
In the end, Mu Yuan gave in and handed it a bit of Soul Sand.
It was a basic instinct for all troops to absorb Soul Sand, and seeing the Big Slime swallowing it and floating around in its body, Mu Yuan was not worried.
Yes, if it absorbed all this Soul Sand, it would have enough to rise to level two.
We’ll see what happens later.
However, soon after,
“Gudiji, gudiji gudiji-”
“There’s none left, no more, you’re just a slime, you need to learn to survive on some leaves, don’t waste so much, understand? Wait…”
The language of human and Slime doesn’t overlap. The goofily cute Big Slime couldn’t understand Mu Yuan’s good intentions at all.
But Mu Yuan noticed something off about the Big Slime in front of him.
Did it get a bit larger? More spirited?
Wait a minute,
Only when he clicked on the giant jelly in front of him to check, he found out that the massy Big Slime had unknowingly upgraded to LV2, the Soul Sand given not long ago had been completely digested.
Did Dead Bone give the Big Slime Soul Sand yesterday?
Mu Yuan shook his head, Dead Bone might have given, but if he did, he would definitely say it.
Which means, the Big Slime digested the Soul Sand and upgraded to LV2 in a very short time.
This speed, was even faster than Dead Bone who was in the form of a great emperor, by more than a little.
Big Slime definitely does not have the form of a great emperor, it only has clear and foolish eyes, but it might probably have a bit of talent.
“Recessive talent.”
“It refers to talents that haven’t fully revealed themselves, not manifested on the panel, but do show some extraordinary potential.”
“Players have it, and very few types of soldiers have it.”
Of course, many high-ranking soldiers have talent, and he, the Great Lord Shepherd, is destined to be a lord who reigns over numerous high-ranking soldiers. A mere unknown talent is not worth excitement.
At most, a little excited.
After thinking about it, after all, it’s a soldier with hidden talent, it’s somewhat of a rare breed. Mu Yuan decided to give the big mass of slime a name.
“Since you Slime is both greedy and money-minded, um… then I’ll call you Duo Lai.”
“Gush gee gush gee?”
Duo Lai, with his big clear stupid eyes wide open, completely didn’t understand the meaning of the name, which would accompany him his whole life.
It just happily swallowed another small piece of Soul Sand, gush gee gush gee, and bounced away.
Watching Duo Lai leave, Mu Yuan again opened the panel to check.
“Indeed, it’s just a plain three-star.”
“Even, because it was not evolved from a one-star Slime, Duo Lai does not possess any skills.”
Mu Yuan prepared to wait until later, when enough evolution points of the Slime Series were accumulated, to evolve a three-star Big Slime and compare it with Duo Lai.
Usually, the Big Slime evolved by his own hands can learn a skill, Duo Lai was at a loss, inherently scarce.
However, Duo Lai upgrades quickly in the early stage, and if his recessive talent is excavated, it’s equivalent to having one more talent than other soldiers in the future. Its potential is not bad.
However, is it possible to supplement Duo Lai’s inherent deficiencies?
Mu Yuan pondered.
In his place, a three-star soldier without skills is already a congenital disability, really pitiful.
Thinking, Mu Yuan noticed that on the evolution point column, there was already an available unit of use.
But this unit of evolution points, is neither Skeleton Series nor Slime Series, but…
“Falcon?”
“I almost forgot about this bird.”
If it’s a scout, due to the lack of communication, the falcon is not smart enough, the information it can bring to Mu Yuan is very limited.
If it’s used for fighting, naturally it’s lagging.
The Falcon has almost died several times during the reconnaissance process.
One-star soldiers, are indeed weak, unless more falcons are recruited for networking reconnaissance, only then more information can be collected.
However, three-star soldiers are not weak, the upgrade from one-star is not a small difference, and his family’s three-star soldiers come with skills.
“What skill will the Falcon get after evolution?”
“Let me see…”
With a move of his mind, the blazing evolution light engulfed the tiny Falcon.
The next moment, the figure in the white light lengthened its wings and heightened its silhouette, visibly growing larger, transforming into a majestic big bird.
“Ding!”
“Prompt: Your soldier ‘Falcon (Normal*)’ has bathed in the Miracle Light, undergone transformation, and has evolved into ‘Battle Falcon (Normal***)’.”
Prompt: Your Battle Falcon has learned the skill ‘Field of Vision Sharing’..”
