Chapter 1: Turned into a Slime?! One Toot can be exchanged for a Ride...
Wangfeng Mountain.
The soft wind blew and the grass rustled slightly.
Pah--
A ball of blue slime jumped forward, and its big white eyes in its dark blue eye sockets blinked blankly.
...? Where is this...?
The water slime jumped forward again, squeezed its eyes hard, and opened them.
??? As a player of the first server of Genshin Impact, this textured scenery, terrain and distant anchor points are almost engraved in his bones.
And this body is as soft as jelly...Have I turned into a slime?
Yi Bai spent a full five minutes thinking about this fact and conducted careful research, including but not limited to making the body grow tentacles from the inside out and then stuffing them back into his stomach.
Yi Bai, who was a little confused, finally confirmed a fact... This was not a dream, he really turned into a water slime while sleeping!
“…”
Although he likes Teyvat very much, he doesn't want to travel there at all and become a low-level monster. He is not an original monster player!!!
Just when Yi Bai was trying to find a beach pool to shut himself in, a large transparent screen suddenly appeared on the left side in front of him. Yi Bai stopped where he was, raised his head calmly and looked at it.
Two lines of large characters gradually appeared on the screen: Genshin Impact Forum Live Broadcast System.
By gaining the favor of [players], you gain the power to change the rules of Teyvat.
There are still three months until the forum live broadcast starts (game launch)
…
How can a slime win the love of players? !
No, at least I look pretty cute.
Yi Bai controlled his body with great difficulty and jumped to the water's edge, looking at his own reflection under the water.
He used the water element in his body to condense a heart-shaped bubble, and then released it from the end of his tentacle. The elemental bubble was transparent and light, and even looked a little dreamy under the sunlight.
Yi Bai finally smiled. Although he didn't know whether the slime body could laugh, at least it dissipated some of the fear brought by the unfamiliar body and made him no longer so confused.
Being likable...isn't that what you are best at?
It took a full three hours for Yi Bai to finally adapt to his new body. He could swallow most things and digest them without feeling hungry or full.
As a creature formed by the accumulation of water elements, he seems to be affected by his body and naturally likes water environments. For example, when he feels unwell in the morning, his first reaction is to soak in the water.
He had also seen other slimes and hillbillies, but... in most cases, other monsters would ignore him, and it seemed that their intelligence was not very high.
The most useful thing is to learn to turn into a pool of liquid and then slide on the ground at high speed, which can greatly increase your movement speed. If you are in water, you can move even faster.
Following the small river on the right side of Wangfeng Mountain, Yi Bai dived into the water without hesitation. For the first time, he felt the joy of drifting at high speed. His whole body became like a part of the water, flowing with almost no resistance.
Finally, having swum to the end, Yibai slid away from the waters slid along the road to Mondstadt, and was finally attracted by the fish and slid all the way to the bottom of Starfall Lake.
Ouch.
Yi Bai swallowed a fish, but the next second he turned into a slime ball and jumped onto the land, spitting out the fish.
This raw fish seems to ooze blood when it is corroded, staining its crystal clear blue with a bright red color.
Yi Bai vomited out all the fish-related impurities in disgust.
"Wow... a slime that can catch fish!!!"
A little red sun suddenly appeared before his eyes, which scared Yi Bai so much that his dark blue eye sockets became a little bigger.
Perhaps she sneaked out to fry some fish here. The girl was holding a large number of Toto bombs in her arms and seemed to be planning to throw them into the lake.
As the most powerful Spark Rider in Mondstadt, who is naive, cute, lively and full of energy, he is undoubtedly a figure that countless Genshin Impact players, including Ibai, cannot dislike. However, as a low-level water slime...
Physiological suppression!!! Even if he said that he was very likable in the past, it was just because he was good at judging the situation and was good-looking, which made him popular with adults. But when it comes to children, especially such lively children, Yi Bai thinks he can't handle it.
Besides, he was just in the lake! If the bomb was dropped, coupled with the evaporation reaction, he would be blown to pieces like those fish...
Thinking of this, Yi Bai almost broke out in a cold sweat and then condensed into an ice slime.
With a strong desire to survive, Yi Bai tried hard to control his body, and tremblingly used his tentacles to pinch a small water ball that looked like a doll for Klee.
"Eh? Dudu?! Is this for me?!"
"Wow--" Klee excitedly threw all the bombs in her arms to the ground, and then carefully accepted the gift from the monster.
Don't throw bombs randomly...! Even though he turned into a slime, Yi Bai still thinks like an adult. He is a little afraid that the bomb will explode suddenly and hurt the little loli in front of him.
Yi Bai's skill in making things is really strong. Even if it is temporarily made with slime gel, you can see the plush ears and tail of Duduko, and the eyes and mouth are decorated with concentrated slime pulp, which looks very vivid.
Klee held the water ball Dodoko in the palm of her hand and poked it with her finger. It was icy, soft and elastic.
"Wow! What a cute Duduko!"
"I love it! Thank you Slime!!!"
Seeing the happy and healed expression of Little Sun, Yi Bai finally relaxed as a slime. Although he really wanted to go back, it was something to look forward to constantly meeting familiar adventure partners in a strange world.
He also worked hard to build a small blue flower on the right side of the slime's head to express his happy mood.
"Hey, little slime, do you have a name? This is the first time I've seen a slime that gave me a gift! The slimes I met before would run into me and attack me as soon as they saw me. None of them were as cute as you!"
"Will you be my first slime friend?"
Maybe because the slime couldn't speak, or because she was too excited to receive the gift, Klee kept talking until she sent a friend request, staring at Yibai with sparkling eyes.
Under this attack, Yi Bai didn't even hold on for a second, and a check mark popped up in his head. However... no matter from which angle you look at it, being friends with a popular character is in line with Bai Yi's vision for the future.
The Traveler's Journey has not yet begun. As the only five-star Lolita in the early stage, and a fire-attribute Lolita, Klee is absolutely popular and overwhelming.
According to the rules, I should be able to get a lot of rule power just by rubbing against it.
Before Yi Bai could do anything else, Little Sun had already rushed over. Yi Bai subconsciously stretched his body to catch Klee.
"It's so cool, little slime, it feels so comfortable to touch, but it's a pity that you're not fluffy... But it doesn't matter, we can be fish frying partners together!"
Yi Bai, who was trying hard to support Klee, had his eyes squeezed into a V shape.
Okay, okay... My fish-frying partner, at least I have someone watching over me, so it will be safer while frying the fish.
…
“What???!!!!!!!!
You made friends with a slime???
Klee! You are not injured, are you? Did you go fishing alone again today? Explain clearly, didn’t I tell you before that slimes are monsters, and you must…”
"Okay, Jean, don't worry. Look, Klee isn't hurt. Whatever happened to this 'friend', with Klee's destructive power, she can easily destroy not only a slime, but also an entire knight group."
Kaiya received the signal from Klee. He leaned against the wall near the door, folded his arms, and spoke in a conciliatory voice with a smile.
Jyn put one hand on her waist and glared at Kaia. She couldn't pretend not to see that Klee was blatantly winking at Kaia.
“This isn’t a question of whether or not you can defeat it… Even if the slime is just a low-level monster, forget it… Anyway, Klee, you must keep your distance from slimes in the future.”
“Ah… ? No…” Klee lowered her head in frustration.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she squatted down and rummaged through her backpack.
"That little slime is very friendly! It's different from other slimes, and it gave me a gift... Let me look... Look! It's the Dodoko that the little slime gave me!"
“…”
Qin frowned and said, "You didn't ask someone to make this handicraft, did you? Keli, I've taught you before that children shouldn't lie."
"Well... I don't think that little Klee looks like she is lying." Lisa also stood aside, with her arms folded, looking at the well-protected water ball Duduko.
"I'm not lying! This is really a gift from the little slime!"
"...There is definitely a water elemental slime monster aura."
Kaiya gave Qin Di a look, as if she wanted to talk to him alone.
Taking into consideration the possibility that she had misunderstood Klee and the strange situation, Jean did not lock Klee in the confinement room anymore. She just comforted her and let Klee go out and play alone.
"Kaia...what's going on? Is there really a slime with such intelligence?"
"The world is so big that there are all kinds of strange things, but...from my current worldview...no."
"Could it be a mechanical slime controlled by humans, or a slime that has mutated into normal intelligence?" Lisa made her own guess.
Kaiya thought for a moment and said, "How about this..."
On the other hand, after Yi Bai gave the gift, he was already prepared to be targeted by the Knights.
Considering the cautious nature of the Kaiana family, in order to ensure Klee's safety, they will probably choose to monitor the whereabouts of themselves and Klee for some time.
But there's no way. I can't just wander around in the wild like this, mixing with a group of slimes that jump around based on instinct. Even the slimes in Teyvat are not like a certain cheating slime that can gain skills and upgrade its form just by eating.
Most monsters in this world seem to remain at a fixed level, and water slimes are indeed just low-level monsters in the eyes of the residents.
There are only two reactions when it comes to humans: physical pressure or direct impact. Only a few large water slimes can throw bubbles.
In Yi Bai's impression, a few water slimes...it would take four or five minutes to kill a water dragon king with 50,000 HP!
The only way for me to become a human being and gain power is to follow the big pie drawn by the system.
Yi Bai thought coldly, no matter why he was brought to this world, he must find a way to go back.
There... my relatives are waiting for me.
Starfall Lake.
"Xiaobai, I'm here to see you!"
"Look! I made a lot of bungees for you."
The name Xiaobai was drawn by Yibai on the ground with his tentacles for the convenience of calling him.
Yi Bai swallowed all the bouncy balls sent by Klee and condensed a four-leaf clover to express his gratitude.
Of course, these bouncing bombs are not used to help Klee fry fish, but to provide her with more fighting skills when encountering hostile monsters.
As for frying fish...Yi Bai used his tentacle to release a water ball. The water ball and the end of the tentacle were connected by a transparent water line. Then, the water ball floated into the lake, and the bass was caught without even noticing.
Following Yi Bai's operation, the water ball moved around, and the fish were gradually trapped in the ball, "Blah--"
The huge water ball was pulled to the surface in an instant. Five or six fish flapped their tails violently and struggled, but none of them could burst the seemingly transparent bubble.
"Wow...Xiaobai is so amazing!"
Amid Klee's exclamation, Yi Bai stretched out three more tentacles, picked up a bunch of small branches from the ground around them, and piled them together.
"Now it's my turn. Hey, bouncing bomb!"
Sizzle—the branches on the ground were ignited by the bomb. Yi Bai controlled the water element to prevent the flames from spreading. He gave Klee a gesture of praise, then suspended the water ball on the bracket of the firewood pile and waited for the fish to be roasted.
A rustling sound came from the woods. Amid the crackling of the flames, the sound seemed insignificant, but Yi Bai heard it. He glanced at the distant woods and then looked away.
I guess they are from the Knights... To be honest, the Knights' tracking and concealment skills are not bad, but when Yibai was in the original world, as the only son of a wealthy man, he was tracked at least eighty times. In addition, the targets this time were only Klee and a slime, so he must have let down his guard.
In the woods, Jyn looked at Klee, who was looking at the grilled fish with shining eyes and drooling anticipation. She felt a little mixed. She whispered to Kaeya, "I didn't expect Klee to have a slime friend. Even its intelligence and ability to control water elements are not to be underestimated."
Kaiya stared thoughtfully at the water slime that was blinking its big eyes with a confused look on its face. It seemed that... it just glanced over here, but the movement of the slime's pupils was too small, and Kaiya couldn't be sure.
He agreed: "He even knows how to stack wood and make a fire... It seems that his intelligence is even the same as that of humans."
"How about next time, let's ask Klee to invite this friend back to Mondstadt? Let us get to know this friend as well."
Kaiya smiled as he stroked the coin.
