Slime simulator

Option 3 adds too little affinity, so it's not considered.

Choosing option 2, a stream of void power poured into my body.

I felt myself grow stronger again.

Checking the panel.

“This panel is so satisfying to look at,” I admired it for a while before closing it.

“This simulation provided a lot of useful information.”

“The appearance of a Tier 1 Level 7 Water-attribute magical beast like myself has drawn the hostility of many magical beast clans in the Land of Springs; I need to be careful about that.”

“However, aside from the lack of water, it feels so good to dominate others of the same level with attribute counters here!”

In the simulation, I repelled the Fire Snake King with one blow.

The kings of the other magical beast clans are also wary of me, even willing to join forces to deal with me.

On the other hand, my strength makes them afraid.

I couldn't help but feel smug.

If there were plenty of water, this place would be my paradise.

I ended my fantasies and looked at the crystal ball and other items in front of me.

The cube did not react to the infusion of energy, and I haven't had time to try the crystal ball simulation.

“I'll keep trying; I'll find a way to use them eventually.”

I looked at the two fire dogs with a hint of sadness in my eyes.

They seem carefree, only eating and sleeping.

They have already eaten a little over half of the dozens of Fire Lizard corpses.

At this rate, the remaining ones won't be enough for them to eat for many days.

“I wonder how they survived before.”

Seeing their boss looking at them, the two silly dogs wagged their tails and ran to my feet.

Woof!

“Boss, are we going through the Fire Lion's territory next?”

Listening to Big Dog's words, I pondered slightly.

“After passing through the Fire Lion's territory, there will be many high-level magical beasts, and I may not be able to protect you. You guys…”

Hearing the meaning in my words, Second Dog put down its wagging tail, “Slime Boss, you… don't want us anymore…”

Big Dog was also stunned and lowered its head.

“Boss, we… are a burden to you…”

Looking at the two fire dogs, I couldn't bear it, and hugged their heads, one in each hand.

“How could your boss not want you!!!”

“It's just… it's a bit dangerous ahead. After I clear out the enemies, I'll take you over.”

“I've just gotten used to the life of having mounts; I don't want to walk every day.”

Hearing my words, the two silly dogs became happy again.

“I knew Slime Boss wouldn't abandon us.”

“Boss is the best!”

“Alright, go play.”

After sending the two fire dogs away, I sighed.

Big Dog and Second Dog are only Tier 1 Level 4. In the Land of Springs, the lowest-level magical beasts are Tier 1 Level 5.

Moreover, they always appear in groups.

Unless I keep them in my sight at all times, they are likely to become the food of some magical beast in the blink of an eye.

But obviously, that is impossible for me to do.

Even with my current strength, I am not invincible in the Land of Springs.

Sigh.

...

It was night.

Big Dog and Second Dog leaned against me, sleeping soundly, drooling all over the place.

I carefully slipped away from them, packed all my things into the box, and then stared at the two silly dogs.

I came to this world alone.

They brought me a lot of joy and helped me a lot.

When the time really comes to say goodbye, I feel a little sad.

I finally patted the heads of the two silly dogs, “You guys better live on for me, don't die.

If you die, your boss won't even know who killed you, and I won't be able to avenge you…”

After saying that, I didn't look back and walked into the distance.

After I walked away, tears streamed from the corners of Big Dog's eyes.

It stood up and looked in the direction where I disappeared.

“Boss…”

Second Dog was awakened by Big Dog's movement, and looked at Big Dog who was standing and crying, confused, “Big Dog, what's wrong?”

“Boss is gone…”

Second Dog frantically searched for my figure.

“Woof! Woof!! Woof!!!”

Second Dog's shrill cry traveled far, and it stared blankly at Big Dog.

“Boss will come back to pick us up soon, right?”

Big Dog didn't answer; it looked into the distance, “Second Dog, we… need to become stronger.”

“Only by becoming stronger can we forever follow Boss, stay by Boss's… side.”

Second Dog nodded frantically; its vision was already blurred.

Big Dog knew very well that from the moment Boss said that sentence, it knew that Boss had already made up his mind to leave.

With Boss's promotion speed, myself and Second Dog would only be a burden by his side…

Become stronger!

We must become stronger!!!

...

Hearing the shrill barking from behind, I paused.

I simply cannot protect the two silly dogs.

Not taking them with me is also for their own good.

Separation is for a better reunion!

...

Fire Lion Territory.

I looked at the Fire Lion in front of me, who was extremely polite, and slowly said, “You've reached a bottleneck, haven't you.”

Hearing my words, the Fire Lion was stunned.

It had indeed reached a bottleneck at Tier 1 Level 7 and had been unable to upgrade to Tier 1 Level 8 for a long time. This bottleneck had been stuck on it for more than a decade.

It even doubted whether it could break through the bottleneck and reach Tier 1 Level 8.

One of the reasons it intercepted magical beasts here was to eat various magical beasts to help it increase its level, but with little effect.

“How about a deal? I'll help you increase your level for one year, and you help me protect two magical beasts.”

The Fire Lion put away its smile and became indifferent, “Why should I make a deal with you?!”

I didn't speak.

Water Squirt!

Fireball!

Foxfire!

Fire Pillar!

Four skills were released in a row, and several large holes instantly appeared on the ground.

The Fire Lion's eyes were filled with fear as it looked at me in disbelief.

I spoke calmly, my voice flat, “Can the deal be made now?”

The fear in the Fire Lion's eyes dissipated, and a glimmer of hope appeared, the hope of advancing…
