I have to take her to my base and talk to her to level up my language skills and get more information about the forest.
But how am I going to talk to her? My throat cannot produce the sounds I need to speak.
Hmmmmm…
I already know what to do, I have the Slime skill [Body manipulation: 1 ], if I use it to change my vocal cords then I should be able to talk to her, I learned medicine and biology both human and animal and even participated in forums that discussed about mythical monster biology and games in my time, in my old world, I’m sure I can find the right vocal chord setup to talk, the real problem will be a pain, if I’m right the slimes don’t have muscles and nerves in the body so they don’t feel pain from using this skill, but I do, so this skill will reorganize my body at will by moving my flesh, muscles, nerves, and organs by force, which will cause me a lot of pain.
I will have to bear this pain and keep myself focused, not to lose control of the skill, it should work the same way as [ Line control: 4 ], but instead of a line, it will be my body being controlled by force by me.
Without wasting time I activate [ Body manipulation: 1 ], feel my mana go through my body and a silhouette of me appears in my mind and it becomes more and more realistic until it is a 3D copy of me that I can mold as I want.
I start trying to visualize the vocal cords seeing as they are, I focus my mind and try to mold it to what I need, at this moment I feel a lot of pain in my neck and I started to writhe in pain but I continue with the process, it feels like someone is tearing and kneading my throat like plasticine.
After what seemed like an eternity was done, I see that it’s only been a few minutes since the Suns are almost in the same position, my new subordinate seems to look at me with concern for what she’s just seen.
“No,….worry” (me)
It seems to be working fine, my voice is a little high but that doesn’t matter, my subordinate was surprised that I could speak her language, I’ll have her follow me to base.
But first I go to the Goblin corpse and drink all her blood and then talk to my new subordinate.
Ding! Ding!
<[ You have learned the following skills from Goblin:
• [ Improved sexual stamina: 1 ] ]>
.
.
<[ Your bloodline has become stronger and purer [ Goblin: 17% > 36% ] ]>
“Follow” (me)
“Gi gii” (Subordinate Goblin)
She nods and follows me, I grab the male Goblin’s body and slowly drag him to the base while my subordinate follows me without speaking.
Upon reaching the ruins she seems to be afraid to approach, she has started to shake a little but is still following me.
When I finally reach my temporary base, I drop the corpse in a corner along with the one I picked up earlier.
My subordinate didn’t seem to mind her other race corpse, she seems more curious about my webbed.
“Sit”(me)
“Yes gigi giii master” (subordinate Goblin)
I asked her to sit down and I go to my bed and I lie there looking at her, I think about what to do now and go down to rest for the rest of the day, I will stay at the base and talk to my subordinate to try to raise my skill level [ Language Goblin: 1 ] and at the same time get more information.
“Speak… the forest…”(me)
“Giii gig forest gigi lar”(Goblin subordinate)
———
After a few minutes of listening and sometimes asking her to repeat.
Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Goblin Language: 1> 2]]>
———-
After an hour of talking to her.
Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Goblin Language: 2> 3]]>
———-
I kept asking her to talk about various things like the forest, the ruins, and the mountains for two or three hours until the skill level increased.
Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Goblin Language: 3> 4]]>
Now, being able to understand her better and maintain a certain level of conversation, I can relax this practice a little and let the skill level increase for the day by talking normally with her.
“Are you…. hungry?”(me)
“Yes” (Goblin subordinate)
“Not like gi gigigi gii morning”(Goblin subordinate)
“You can eat… their meat” (me)
“But the master’s giii giii gig” (Subordinate Goblin)
“You can eat” (me)
“…”(Subordinate Goblin)
She thought for a moment, but she didn’t look disgusted eating her species meat, she looked surprised that I shared my food with her.
She went to the Goblin corpse that was hurting her today and started eating her face, with a smile full of cruelty.
She seems to have a dark and vindictive side, so I go to the same Goblin and start eating her meat too.
Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Leech Belly: 4> 5]]>
.
<[Her skill leveled up [Weak Resistance to Poisoning: 3> 4]]>
I forgot that I had poisoned him, but it looks like she isn’t poisoned, she must have the resistance skill too.
After I finish eating I’m going to practice making a bed for my subordinate just like mine.
———
Ding! Ding! Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Line Production: 3> 4]]>
.
<[Her skill leveled up [Sticky Line Production: 3> 4]]>
.
<[Her skill leveled up [Line control: 4> 5]]>
My subordinate was surprised by my skill and saw that I was building a nest for her similar to mine.
“Thank you, gii master” (Goblin subordinate)
She started crying again, I went to eat some more Goblin meat and went to meditate to regain my energy before training my skill [Weak mana sense: 3].
——–
After fifteen minutes of meditation to recover my energy and a few hours of meditation training with [ Weak sense mana: 3 ], I get exhausted and go to sleep.
Ding!
<[Her skill leveled up [Weak mana sense: 3> 4]>
———
The next day I woke up in the morning and my subordinate was already awake.
“Good morning” (me)
“Good master gigii” (Subordinate Goblin)
I drank some water in the puddle and went to eat some meat, now there’s only one Goblin left to eat at night, it should be enough, I’m going hunting to test some things about the group system.
“Take …. sword” (me)
“Yes gigg” (Goblin subordinate)
“Follow… hunt” (me)
I spoke to my subordinate to bring the short rusty sword I made her bring yesterday and went hunting with her.
There were some things I would like to confirm about the Group system, such as sharing experience, knowing the direction of the group members, etc.
As we left the base, we went to some areas that I had already explored, in the forest in front of the red water puddles where I was born.
As I was fine I used the skill [ Poor blood detection: 2 ] every ten minutes and managed to detect something after the fourth attempt.
When we reached the destination I saw two Horned Rabbits mating, without wasting any time I used [ Sticky thread production: 4 ] and [ Thread control: 5 ] to trap the two rabbits, making it impossible for them to move.
“Kill one” (me)
“Yes master gigii” (Goblin subordinate)
She took the sword and raised it and brought the sword down on the head of the rabbit above it.
Ding!
<[ You gained 2 EXP for killing Horned Rabbit by Party member ]>
“Kick … another” (me)
After that, I go to the other Horned Rabbit and ask my subordinate to kick him, and I bite him and use [Weak Poison Secretion: 3] twice until he dies of poison.
Ding!
<[ You gained 4 EXP from killing Horned Rabbit ]>
.
<[ party member gains 2 EXP for killing Horned Rabbit ]>
.
.
<[ You have leveled up ]>
It seems that EXP sharing works with the one who deals the finishing blow getting all the EXP and the others in the party get half the experience value.
I’m going to drink all the blood from the rabbits.
Glub! Glub! Glub!
Ding! Ding!
<[ You learned the following skills from Horned Rabbit:
• [ Weak body reinforcement (legs): 1 ] ]>
.
.
<[ His bloodline has become stronger and purer [ Horned Rabbit: 30% > 50% ] ]>
After drinking all this blood I asked my subordinate to take the two rabbits to the base and wait for me there since we are still close to the ruins, in the meantime I went hunting.
After about twenty minutes I found a spider eating a Horned Rabbit, used [ Jump: 1 ] to quickly get over its head, and then used it twice [ Low Leech Bite: 4 ] to bite its head.
Ding!
<[ You gained 3 EXP from killing Little Spider ]>
It seems that party members only gain EXP if they participate in the fight, just like me who webbed the Rabbits or when my subordinate kicked the Rabbit.
Let me see what my subordinate’s condition is after the previous fight.
<[ Status of group members:
{ Goblin (Subordinate)
Gender: Woman
Level: 1/15 (2/15) Exp: 10/11
HP: 15/15 MP: 10/10 STM: 15/15 }
]>
It’s time for her to level up.
