Slime simulator

#59 - Chapter 59 Upgrade

Given the two options, choosing option 2 is a no-brainer.

As a surge of ethereal energy flowed into my body, I felt myself grow stronger again.

【Character Panel: Suke】

「Race: Slime (Blue)」

「Level: Tier 1, Level 5 (93.86%)」

……

“Almost leveled up!” Seeing the experience bar nearly full, I felt a surge of excitement.

「Consumed 80 Simulation Points, Remaining Simulation Points: 73.38, Simulation Failed.」

Looking at the system notification, I scratched my head, feeling somewhat unsatisfied. “That’s it…”

Night had fallen, and without any simulation opportunities, I didn't want to do anything else. I hugged the crystal and fell sound asleep in the puddle.

……

「One day has passed. Simulation Points +10, Remaining Simulation Points: 83.38」

I opened my eyes and stretched.

A beautiful day begins.

“Let’s simulate once and see if I can level up.”

I rubbed my hands together, filled with anticipation.

「Consumed 80 Simulation Points, Remaining Simulation Points: 3.38, Simulation Started.」

「Day 1: You lead two fire hounds to the fire lizard territory.

With the help of the fire hounds, you quickly eliminate all the sentinel fire lizards.」

「Day 2: You kill several waves of fire lizards, causing a disturbance among the fire lizard pack.

You hide in Hideout 2, waiting quietly.」

「Day 3: The fire lizard pack stabilizes. You strike again, killing several waves of fire lizards.

The fire lizard pack's numbers are reduced by half.

The Fire Lizard King is alarmed and patrols the territory.

You move to Hideout 3.」

「Day 4: You pass through the fire lizard pack and arrive at the Fire Lizard King's stronghold in the rear.

You eat an energy fruit.

The energy fruit has no effect on you.

You leave with the Fire Blast Stone.」

「Day 5: The Fire Lizard King, discovering its home has been robbed, is enraged and patrols the territory back and forth.」

「Day 6: The Fire Lizard King continues to patrol the territory.」

「Day 7: The Fire Lizard King patrols for another day.」

「Day 8: The Fire Lizard King gives up.

You take the opportunity to return to the dense forest to replenish water.

Upon your return, you bring two fire hounds.

Being cautious, you have the fire hounds scout for any new sentinel fire lizards.」

「Day 9: Taking advantage of the Fire Lizard King wandering the outer edges of the territory, you enter the territory's interior, luring and killing fire lizards in batches.」

「Day 10: The Fire Lizard King, looking at the mere dozen or so fire lizards remaining, falls into contemplation.

It no longer patrols the outer edges of the territory.

Its patrol range changes to the territory's interior.」

「Day 11: You notice a sense of anxiety in the Fire Lizard King's eyes, and the skin on its body has begun to peel.

You know this is a sign that it is molting.」

「Day 12: The Fire Lizard King does not appear.

You know it is currently molting in its lair.

You appear, luring the remaining fire lizard pack and killing them in batches.

The two fire hounds are exceptionally excited, following behind you, eating a large number of magical beast corpses and leveling up to Tier 1, Level 4.

You enter the Fire Lizard King's lair.

The Fire Lizard King is molting and feels extremely angry at your intrusion, spitting out a fireball.

The fireball explodes on you, but it does not cause any damage.

You retreat a distance, staying out of the Fire Lizard King's skill range, and wait patiently.

Half an hour later, the Fire Lizard King's molting enters its final stages, leaving it extremely weak.

You grin, take out the Fire Blast Stone, and throw it at the Fire Lizard King as it stares at you with horror and hatred.

Without looking back, you run away as fast as you can.

Boom!!!

A wave of heat throws you into the air.

You land heavily on the ground.

You get up and see a huge crater behind you. The Fire Lizard King is gone.

Even the magic crystal was annihilated by the explosion.」

「Day 13: You return to the dense forest.」

「Day 14: The water in the puddle dries up as you draw from it.

You feel a sense of crisis.」

「Day 15: After instructing the two fire hounds, you head north.

The two fire hounds watch your figure disappear, whimpering in place.」

「Day 16: It is night.

You see many magical beasts gathering from other directions, all heading north together.

Among these magical beasts are many Tier 1 Level 5 beasts, and even Tier 1 Level 6 beasts like the fire lizard.

You mingle among them, hanging back at a distance, not attracting the magical beasts' attention.

After traveling a kilometer, a commotion occurs ahead.

You see a lion with a fiery red body appear.

Its eyes are like fire, staring at you and the group of magical beasts.

The magical beasts stop moving, looking at the fire lion.

A Tier 1 Level 6 bear-shaped magical beast charges out.

A look of disdain appears in the fire lion's eyes, and flames appear on its claws.

A flash of fire passes, and the bear magical beast's head lands on the ground.

The fire lion bites down on it.

The magical beasts are frightened. Seeing the situation, you turn around and prepare to flee.

Boom!

A fireball appears, exploding in the crowd of magical beasts, killing several of them.

You feel a chill in your heart and increase your speed.

Suddenly, you feel a burning sensation.

You quickly turn your head and see a huge fireball falling above you.

At the critical moment, you swallow the crystal.

Boom!!!

You explode.」

「You died. Fire Resistance +1, Explosion Resistance +2. Please select one of the following options as a reward.」

「1: Fifteen days of experience」

「2: Fifteen days of physical fitness」

“Level up! Level up! Level up!” I whispered, choosing option 2.

A stream of ethereal power poured into my body.

A powerful force erupted within me.

My body began to change.

Big... big... big...

My body grew larger at a rate visible to the naked eye, and a powerful aura emanated from within me.

Outside the cave, the two fire hounds sleeping under the shade of the trees suddenly woke up.

Two-Dog looked at the narrow cave in shock.

This scene seemed familiar...

“Big-Dog, it seems like Slime Boss has leveled up?”

Big-Dog shook its head in confusion.

In its memory, it didn't seem like much time had passed since Boss leveled up last time.

The two fire hounds stared intently at the narrow, cramped cave entrance, waiting for that splash of blue to appear.

……

The amplification of energy gradually dissipated, and my enlarged body slowly contracted.

I clenched my fist, feeling a burst of power.

“Tier 1 Level 6!!!”

I grinned.

“Hehe… this feeling is awesome!”

“My body has also shrunk a bit, not becoming too big.”

Satisfied!!!

I give this level up a perfect score!

I walked out of the cave.

When a touch of blue appeared, the powerful aura excited the two fire hounds.

Two-Dog's tail almost wagged into a helicopter propeller, and it rushed to my front in one stride, its eyes full of admiration, “Slime Boss!!”

Big-Dog was so excited it couldn't control itself. A surge of urination came over it. It didn't care to release it, wagging its tail and rushed to my front, flattering, “Congratulations, Boss! Congratulations, Boss!”

I enjoyed the admiration of the two fire hounds, and the corners of my mouth turned up.

I must say, this feeling of being admired by dogs is quite special.

I reached out and touched the heads of the two fire hounds.

Two-Dog lay down comfortably.

Big-Dog cried out comfortably, subconsciously loosening its control over a certain thing.

Pssh!

A stream of yellow liquid spurted out, passing one centimeter away from my face and shooting onto the cave behind me.

Big-Dog was stunned.

Two-Dog was stunned.

I was stunned.

The atmosphere became eerily quiet.

After a long while, a roar appeared, echoing through the dense forest.
