Chapter 39 Coconut Sheep Unlocks New Map ~ Slime Farm

"Zhongli! What are you looking at!"

Paimon waved to Zhongli, who was staring at the statue in a daze, and said, "We have brought back all the ointments."

The man paused and looked at the scene in front of him. He was like an elder who had been walking alone for a thousand years. His emotions of nostalgia had passed through the statue and traveled through a long and endless time. He didn't know what he was looking at.

The posture of the Rock God Statue is both domineering and leisurely, with its long braids uncovered under its hood. Zhongli, who is looking at it... is the same. Kong narrowed his eyes, and a trace of doubt gradually emerged in his heart.

Zhongli retracted his gaze and directly answered Paimeng's question:

"Thank you for your hard work. Just place the ointment in front of the statue and he will make his own choice."

Paimon: "Is it really that magical..."

As Paimon introduced them one by one, Kong placed the ointments one by one at the bottom of the statue.

"The last one didn't have any reaction either... Hey! Wait, the statue is lighting up!"

Paimon leaned forward in surprise.

Sora thought: "Emperor Yan Wang likes this..."

Paimon continued: "The fragrance is gentle but lingers for a long time, like a hazy mist... It is the favorite of mature women... So the Rock King is a big sister?!"

Kong Mei's eyes widened, and the slight doubt that had just arisen was instantly dispelled.

"What? Big sister? Isn't this statue a man?"

"So, Emperor Yanwang likes mature older sisters?"

"Ah... didn't Wendy say that the appearance of the demon god is ever-changing and we can't rely on this to recognize people, so maybe big sister and this statue are both the incarnations of the Rock King?"

"Hello, big sister."

"Is there really no one who thinks there's something wrong with the description of Zhong Li staring at the statue in a daze?"

"Zhongli: Why can't this statue heal enough health?"

"So Zhongli is also the Emperor's chef?"

"Speaking of hazy fog, aren't the president's eyes just like the fog, quite hazy?"

"I think it's reasonable for a mature older sister to like Yiran."

"In fact, there is another possibility. Zhongli said that this colorful flower was discovered by ancient people when they were climbing mountains to visit immortals. Moreover, this flower is called Piao Miao Xian Yuan. Maybe the emperor simply likes the feeling of floating immortal air. After all, he is also the ancestor of all immortals."

"So, did you know that the emperor liked this kind of ointment? That's why he only bought this kind at the beginning."

"I see. Could it be that Yiran is also a senior chef of the Emperor?"

"What kind of alternative two-way running hh"

After the matter of the ointment was settled, Kong and Paimeng immediately went to Yujingtai to borrow the Dichen Bell from Grandma Ping, and finally, together with Zhongli, they prepared to go to Bulu to find Doctor Baizhu to get the Eternal Life Incense.

Perhaps even if fate deviates in the details, it will always try to keep the results on track overall.

Unfortunately, the time when Kong, Paimon and Zhongli arrived at the Bushi House was much earlier than the original plot, and Dr. Bai was still not in the store.

Only the little zombie Qiqi, who was helping to get the medicine, stayed at the counter and was responsible for communicating with the three people about the matters concerning the Eternal Life Incense.

The communication was neither smooth nor unsuccessful—at least things had made some progress.

Qiqi also used her unique logic and cute and natural appearance to successfully reach an additional deal with the three people -

"Please, help me hunt a Slime Coconut Sheep."

"???"

What the hell?

Regardless of what a coconut sheep is, Sora opened his mouth and asked in confusion:

"Is it a coconut sheep... or a slime??"

Paimon babbled: "Maybe it's a coconut sheep that looks like a slime, or a slime that looks like a coconut sheep?"

Qiqi explained: "The coconut sheep is a legendary, semi-immortal beast. The slime coconut sheep must be one too."

Facing the three people's even more confused expressions, Qiqi spread her hands and said righteously, "I don't know about the rest."

Sora and Paimon looked at the knowledgeable upper-class people standing nearby.

Zhong Li met the gazes of the two people and pursed his lips:

"…I'm really sorry, but I've never heard of either the Coconut Sheep or the Slime Coconut Sheep.

But if we talk about where in Liyue the most research and understanding of slimes is done, we have to mention the newly opened Slime Farm not far from Wangshu Inn. "

Sora: "Slime Farm..."

Zhong Li: "Yes, that is Mr. Ran's business, and it is also the supply base of slime condensate raw materials for the entire Liyue Harbor."

Paimon hesitated and said, "But we have already disturbed Yiran a lot. This time, how about we go directly to the Slime Ranch to ask and collect intelligence?"

Kong nodded, and together with Zhongli, they decided on the next course of action.

On the other hand, I, who was reading at home, glanced at the forum system out of habit.

The fingers that were about to turn the page were stuck on the page.

Going to his slime farm...

What are you looking for? ...Slime Coconut Sheep? ?

Without being confused for too long because of the unexpected events, Yiran quickly figured out the whole story.

Coconut Slime Jelly.

I didn't even waste time wondering why the plot had deviated to such a degree, as I immediately started planning what I should do next.

He was wondering, in the subsequent developments of this incident...which link would give him room for control.

While the three of them were still traveling thousands of miles from the bush to the Slime Farm, Yiran had already closed the book and prepared to implement his emergency plan.

…

People were moving around, and the air was hot, but not too hot. It was just the right temperature to make people feel warm but not uncomfortable.

The empty mountains and wilderness above the Explosive Tree have now been completely transformed into endless pastures and manors.

Passing through the gate covered with vines covered with rose-like white and blue flowers, one can see countless fire slimes in the distance, separated by not-so-low glass walls.

It is said that the visible metal edges and glass walls are just to remind guests that slimes are separated from tourists on the cobblestone road outside and they will not pose any danger to tourists.

In fact, every slime colony is completely surrounded by a breathable air wall.

Not only can it completely eliminate the danger of fire slimes shooting fireballs into the air, ensuring tourists a broad and safe viewing experience, it can also isolate and transform the hot air after a large number of fire slimes accumulate.

And... make sure no one is brave enough to get in and steal the slime eggs.

Even Zhong Li had to admire such a unique design.

"Wow……"

Although still shocked by the scale and scenery of the ranch in the distance, Paimon still tugged at Sora's clothes and pointed with his little hand to a row of elegantly and exquisitely decorated shops on the other side of the cobblestone road.

There are shops selling slime-related desserts, slime plush dolls, and many selling slime crafts.

Products such as slime night lights, slime music boxes, snowy decompression slime, and slime image gems are sold inside.

From the outside, the style of the store sign is basically blue and white, and the designed fonts are interspersed with simple rose patterns.

Some stores have baskets of roses placed irregularly at the door as decoration.

There are also cute slime sunny dolls or tinkling wind chimes hanging on the door sill, with white feathers hanging below the wind chimes, swaying gently in the wind.

Paimon had already flown not far away. The sweet aroma of blueberries or grapes slowly drifted over from the store, tempting every visitor who entered the ranch gate.

Sora glanced at the ranch in the distance, then looked at Paimon who was running towards the dessert shop.

“…”

Zhong Li smiled and said, "It's not easy to come here, let's go and have a look. The environment and layout here are very good, and it can also be used as a place to relax."

In the cake shop.

Paimon was tasting the water slime blueberry sandwich cake on the table with a fork while floating and explaining to Sora:

"Well, this place is closer to us after all. Asking the boss here is also a way to get intelligence."

Sora sat on the sofa opposite him and said with a half-smile: "Isn't the cake delicious?"

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Paimon did not hesitate.

Sora: "If you had to choose between eating ten servings of Slime Blueberry Cake or eating this one and asking the boss for information..."

Paimon's eyes sparkled, and he didn't hear the rest of what Sora said: "Slime Blueberry Cake!"

“…”

Paimon responded: "Ahem, wait for me to finish eating first, Sora, you can try it too."

While Paimon fed a small piece of the edge to Kong, Zhongli was asking the waiter for information.

"Slime Coconut Sheep? I've never heard of it... We only have Grass Slime Coconut Cake here, which is a very fragrant and pure, slightly sweet dessert..."

Zhong Li: "Um...thank you. Give me one piece, please."

Paimon raised his hand: "Two!"

…

After asking the store owner and getting nothing, everyone decided to go to the ranch to ask the manager, but after running around the entire slime breeding area, no one had ever heard of the slime coconut sheep.

Finally, the three decided to try their luck in catching someone in the slime egg hatching area.

"Slime Coconut Sheep? Uh... Is this a new species? I haven't heard of it."

The uncle in charge of this small incubator scratched his head and said in confusion.

Paimon sighed in frustration: "Alas... If no one else has heard of it, we will have to go back and explain it to Qiqi like this."

Kong was not willing to give in: "Uncle, if we want to find this kind of slime, where should we start..."

"Shh... Speaking of new types of slimes, I seem to have heard from the top management recently that they are researching a hybrid slime that is a fusion of slimes with different attributes.

For example, a super-large green slime that is a mixture of water and grass attributes can drop five times the amount of slime gel.

There is also a slime that is a mixture of water and lightning attributes. It is extremely lethal and can directly create a chain of shock when attacking... I don't know what this is for..."

The uncle was obviously very enthusiastic about the experiment proposed by their ranch owner. He talked endlessly about the new species of slime and almost forgot the questions raised by the boy opposite him.

Zhong Li's eyes deepened as he thought. Although Teyvat was not without such scientific research geniuses, when it came to the fusion and creation of such elements... whether it could be accomplished through simple research... remained to be discussed.

In short, although the new species of slime mentioned by the other party was also very interesting and novel, Kong still interrupted the uncle's narration and brought the topic back to the Slime Coconut Sheep.

The uncle responded, "Oh, yes, I was just about to talk about this. Today I heard some gossip. It's not just about the slime that is a fusion of elements. It seems that there is a project to study cat slimes that are fused with animal genes, dog slimes, and so on...

But it's just some rumors spread by some colleagues. They don't say what the progress is, and they can't guarantee whether it's true or not. After all, it sounds much more unreliable, just like the slime sheep you mentioned."

The uncle said something shocking, half jokingly:

"Well...anyway, if this news is true, maybe you can try to catch a sheep and ask our boss if you can work with the slime to hatch a slime sheep that you mentioned."

“…”

Paimon looked at Sora in confusion: "Uh... is it, a little bit..."

Sora looked pitiful: "Isn't this a bit too much of a fuss...?"

We, we just want to buy an eternal life incense..."

Zhong Li's lips moved slightly. Putting aside other things, even if a slime coconut sheep could really be hatched, it might not be what Qiqi wanted, right...
