Chapter 23

“Must I use water to synthesize one?”

Just as Rene was about to use his skill on the slime, he thought of the Fire Rune Slime.

Unlike water, when he used flames to create the slime, the final result was failure.

Therefore, he used fire runes.

The final result was not bad. The Fire Rune Slime could gather the fire elements in the air and then let itself light up.

Since the fire runes could succeed…

What about the water rune?

Rene had a feeling that this idea would succeed, as the water and the slime were more compatible.

Moreover, in today’s forest exploration, he happened to obtain a water rune.

He had no use for it in the current territory.

Therefore, he would use it to test it out!

Without any hesitation, Rene took out the only water rune in the warehouse.

It was different from the fire rune.

This fragment with the water rune patterns was very cold to touch.

It looked very compatible with the slime.

“Come on!”

“Give me a surprise!”

Rene rubbed his hands together, then activated his talent.

Ding!

[‘Slime’ has been confirmed to be the basic material. Please add ‘body part material’.]

After choosing the slime, Rene threw the water rune in.

But then he paused.

He chose some drinking water from the storage can in front of him and threw it inside.

What Rene wanted was not simple water elements, but water resources that he could drink. Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, he chose to add water runes on the foundation of the Soft Water Slime. This formula should be more accurate for his needs.

Soon, the editorial formula appeared.

[Formula: (Slime) + (Processed Drinking Water) + (Water Rune) = (???)]

[The fee is 50 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]

“Yes.” Without thinking, Rene made his choice.

A familiar scene appeared. The three materials in the formula turned into light and fused together.

This time, because of the addition of the water rune, the color of the light became deeper, showing a deep blue luster.

The blue light followed the formula and condensed in the last panel.

Ding!

[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Water Rune Slime]

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark blue liquid creature appeared in front of Rene. It was very similar to an ordinary soft water slime. It was like a balloon that had been filled to the limit with water. It was spread out on the ground and looked as if it would burst at any moment.

However, unlike the Soft Water Slime, there were water runes on its body.

This appearance was identical to the Fire Rune Slime.

He wondered what the effect would be.

Rene was mentally prepared. He opened the special slime’s panel.

————

[Unit]: Water Rune Slime (Level 1 Soldier)

[Race]: Slime

[Grade]: Ordinary

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 20

[Damage]: 2-4

[Hire Cost]: 1 silver coin per week

[Racial Talent]: Healing

[Skill]: Gather the water elements and merge them.

Description: The slime that coincidentally fused with the water rune can condense the water elements and fuse them into water, making ordinary drinking water more nutritious and increasing the user’s perception of the water elements.

————

“Is this a nutrient solution?” Rene paused for a moment as he wondered.

This slime could merge the water elements into the drinking water!

The person who drank this “elemental water” could use it to increase their perception of the water elements.

The effect was simply too powerful.

Unfortunately…

The effect was quite subtle.

Although it could indeed increase one’s perception of water elements, this would only happen after years of drinking.

To the players who were still working hard to survive, they would not think that such an effect was worth much.

Of course, this would change when everyone had their own large city.

Only after they had enough food and clothing would they begin to pursue subtle quality differences.

Rene did not have much hope of this effect for the time being. What really surprised him was the speed at which the Water Rune Slime produced water.

With the addition of the water rune, the slime had a deeper understanding of water, and the speed at which it absorbed water was greatly enhanced.

Ordinary Soft Water Slimes could only produce 1 liter of drinking water every half an hour.

The evolved Water Rune Slime could condense 2 liters of drinking water every half an hour.

The production capacity was directly increased by 100%!

Of course, editing this slime required a high price.

If it were other players collecting them, they might not have been able to gather ten water runes in less than two months.

Fortunately, Rene had enough resources.

As long as he was willing to pay a higher price, he believed that the players with runes would still be unable to resist the temptation to exchange.

“I should be able to let the smelting workshop begin work tomorrow. At that time, I can produce more gold coins to pay for next week’s employment.”

“The produced drinking water is specifically used to collect resources to build the territory while also exchanging for special items.”

“In addition, while the players still have some dependence on the light, I’ll lower the price a little and sell as many light balls as possible. Otherwise, in two days, they will completely lose their value and market.”

“Oh right, there’s also beast meat.”

Rene looked at the beast meat in the warehouse. There were about 3,000 units of it available.

These beast meat were food and had considerable value.

After all, the players had limited food. When the population increased, it was common to have insufficient food.

If they could eat wild beast meat, they would definitely choose to preserve the food that could be permanently stored.

In addition, wild beast meat was more suitable for demand.

When meat-eating workers worked, their conditions would be relatively perfect, and their efficiency would also increase slightly.

Rene opened the trading platform and put up the 2,000 units of wild beast meat in the warehouse for sale.

————

[Seller]: Rene (0401)

[Trading Good]: 10 units of wild beast meat

[Requirement]: 20 units of wood

[Storage]: 2000

[Remarks]: They are all safe edible beast meat. I have already tested them. Don’t worry about the quality.

After placing the items on display, Rene returned to the Overlord’s Hall.

It was already very late. He should rest early and recover his energy. Tomorrow, he should go out again and raise his level to 3.
