Chapter 11 Chapter 11 Split
Recalling the unpleasant death experience in the past, Tang Li found that the security protocol of "Magic Continent" was indeed quite useful. At least she did not have any psychological trauma after her death this time.
Tang Li felt a lot more relaxed.
Except for the level 3 experience points that were reset to zero due to death, but thinking about the goal she had set for today and the gains in the package, she still made a profit overall.
However, it is indeed dangerous in the wilderness at night. She has experienced it firsthand this time. Next time, she will definitely not stay in the wilderness at night unless it is necessary.
Tang Li walked through the bustling crowd of players and arrived at the auction house. She listed the dagger with a starting price of 5 silver coins, and the deadline was the next morning.
There weren't many good items in the auction house at the moment, and Tang Li watched helplessly as the price of the dagger rose to 7 silver coins in less than a minute after it was put up.
Coming out of the auction house with satisfaction, Tang Li thought about it and sold all the rabbit wool and rabbit meat she had hunted at a nearby stall. Although there was no contribution value, the price was higher than selling it directly to the receiving box.
Tang Li used all the money to buy wheat seeds, yawned, and rode her broom home.
As soon as they got home, the slime Xirang came to greet them with duangduang jumping, hopping around at Tang Li's feet, looking very happy.
It's been a long time since I felt this way.
"I'm back." Tang Li's eyes softened. She squatted down and stroked the little fellow's jelly-like head. She looked towards the lush wheat field not far away. On the stone road beside the wheat field, ripe wheat was already piled high. "Thank you for your hard work today."
"Ji!" The little guy jumped even higher when he heard the praise, looking very happy.
Isn't this too easy to satisfy?
A smile flashed in Tang Li's eyes, and she reached out to take out her backpack to feed the little guy. After opening the space backpack, she remembered that she had given all her life essence to the little guy, and she had also sold the rabbit meat dropped by monsters.
I must save some for next time. Tang Li was annoyed for a moment, rubbed the little guy's head again, and looked around: "Where is the life essence I left for you? Have you finished it?"
"Ji!" Xirang shook his head and pulled Tang Li to a small wooden house connected to the yard and the tent. This was Xirang's residence, which appeared after the contract with Xirang. It could recover its energy faster in it.
The little guy obviously liked this place very much and ran in jumping and skipping.
In the small house, which is quite spacious for Xirang's body, most of it is scattered with water droplets of life essence. After the poor Xirang entered, she could only huddle in a small corner that had been specially cleaned. But even so, she looked very happy and satisfied.
"So they're all in the house," Tang Li suddenly realized. She then lowered her chin and looked at Xirang, who had tried his best to avoid it but still occasionally absorbed the essence of life accidentally. "It's not good to have them scattered like this. There's nowhere to stay. We have to find a way to collect them."
As soon as he finished speaking, several more life essences rolled over and were wrapped in the jelly-like body of Xirang.
Tang Li: ...It seems really urgent.
"Chi!" Xirang nodded in agreement. He was so happy that he accidentally touched the essence of life piled up next to him.
Feeling the huge amount of energy pouring in, Xirang was horrified and quickly ran out of the small house, starting to expand like bubble gum.
"Xiran!" Tang Li was shocked.
Xirang tried hard to shrink its expanded body, and it did have some effect, but it soon expanded again into a larger translucent bubble.
"Ji--" Finally, as the bubble grew bigger and bigger, Xirang began to run out of energy. It cried out anxiously and then exploded, collapsing pitifully into a large translucent pancake.
"!!!" Tang Li strode forward, and before she had time to take a closer look, she saw the big pancake on the ground split into two and condensed into two smaller earth-colored translucent slimes.
...It turned out that he had eaten too much and split it. It was really a false alarm. Tang Li felt relieved.
After making sure that Xirang was fine, she couldn't help but think that slime was indeed a creature that reproduced very easily. It had eaten so much life essence, but it actually split.
If this trend continues, she will definitely not be able to support it. Thinking of this, Tang Li couldn't help but feel a headache.
But at this moment she didn't have time to think about the future, because Xirang looked particularly depressed, and his big eyes, which used to look like fried eggs when he cried, were now almost broken into egg yolks.
"grumble……"
Affected by the Xirang, the other newly born little guy also looked a little helpless. The two small slimes just stood there stupidly, looking so pitiful.
Even the most hard-hearted person cannot ignore this scene.
"Don't be sad." Seeing that Xirang was about to break apart if she didn't comfort him, Tang Li picked up the smaller Xirang with one hand, and didn't forget the newly split little guy with the other hand. Her tone was particularly sincere and earnest, "I originally thought that Xirang was too tired to work alone as a slime. Now that he has a partner, we can take turns to rest."
"Ji?" Compared to the other little guy who stood up instantly, Xirang's tone was filled with disbelief. It had already prepared to be driven out, but it didn't expect to be comforted instead of criticized.
"It's not your fault in the first place. You didn't steal it on purpose... I should have thought about the problem of life essence being difficult to store earlier." Tang Li didn't want to see Xirang blaming himself anymore, so she found an unopened bronze treasure chest and opened it manually, "Try to see if this can store it."
Previously, the bronze treasure chest would automatically disappear shortly after it was opened. This time, after opening the box, Tang Li immediately threw the life essence back into the treasure chest, and then went to the small house in Xirang to take out two and threw them in.
After two or three minutes, the bronze treasure chest remained in the same place.
"It seems to be feasible." Tang Li felt that she had found a good way to store food. She put all the life essences in the small house into the bronze treasure chest, and then put the half-full chest back into the small house. She said to Xirang, "This way, I won't be afraid of accidentally touching it. I can take it myself when I want to eat it."
"Chi." The two little guys looked very excited.
"The next step is to name this little guy," Tang Li asked the little guy in her arms, "Xirang, what do you think?"
"grumble!"
"Little Brother?" Tang Li repeated, then looked at the person being named who had no objections and nodded, "Since you all think this name is good, then call me Little Brother."
Tang Li played with the two little guys for a while, and only felt relieved after making sure that they had both adapted.
Seeing that it was getting late and she still had work to do, she gestured to the two little ones to go play by themselves. Tang Li returned to the yard, picked up the wheat piled on the ground, went to the stone mill, and slowly ground it into flour.
After all the wheat has been processed, the next step is to repeatedly make it into delicious steamed buns.
While Tang Li was busy, the two little guys didn't really go out to play. Instead, they each chose a piece of land to lie down. Except for getting up every few minutes to sow and harvest, they stayed motionless the rest of the time.
The slimes that had just split were still a little weak, and this was a way for them to rest. Tang Li closed the official forum and turned her attention back to cooking.
As the night deepened, the noisy camp slowly returned to silence as the players left, and more and more flour was processed into steamed buns.
Maybe it’s because I have two little ones around to keep me company, the quiet night feels a little warmer.
Before she knew it, the flour was all used up. Looking at the backpack full of steamed buns, Tang Li stretched lazily.
"Don't work too hard." After turning around, he found that there was another small pile of wheat in the yard. He knew without thinking that it was the credit of the little guys.
There was no need to worry about things getting lost or damaged in her own yard. Tang Li didn't put the wheat back in. Seeing that the two little guys were about to stay up all night, she hurried them back to the small house: "There's always work to do, go and rest."
She knew in theory that they were just data, but she had invested her emotions in them, so she didn't care.
Seeing the two little guys slumped on the left and right of the bronze treasure chest, looking like they were cherishing it so much, Tang Li yawned and went back to the tent to rest silently.
After the upgrade, my tent was indeed much more comfortable, and she slept very soundly that night.
When she woke up the next day, Tang Li felt refreshed.
"You guys are up so early?" Looking at the two little guys jumping around in the yard, Tang Li couldn't help but laugh.
She couldn't help but think of the scene she saw when she first entered the game. Compared with the environment in the wild, her home was still too simple. Maybe she should work harder to upgrade.
"grumble!"
"grumble!"
"morning!"
After getting closer, Tang Li realized that the small pile of wheat she saw last night had turned into a large pile of wheat, and the stone slab where the wheat seeds were originally piled was already empty.
"You are too hardworking." Tang Li sighed, and under Xirang's constant urging, she took out the wheat seeds she had just bought yesterday, transformed them one by one using her supernatural powers, and piled them where the wheat had been placed.
"grumble!"
“Chichi!”
The two little guys were more active than each other and immediately started the new day's work diligently.
There were quite a lot of wheat seeds in this batch, so Tang Li followed the same method and found a bronze treasure chest to put them in and put them aside. Every time she transformed a seed, she put it in. After all the seeds were transformed, the bottom of the bronze treasure chest was covered with a thin layer.
"It's up to you from now on." Tang Li walked to the edge of the wheat field and touched the little guys lying on the ground one by one. After saying hello, she went out.
Today she planned to go to the farther Wild Wolf Valley to level up, and by the way, sell the delicious steamed buns she made last night.
But before that, she had to go to the auction house to see if the dagger she had put up for sale yesterday had been sold.
With excitement, Tang Li rode her broom very fast and soon arrived at the palace-style auction hall built of white boulders.
"It actually sold for nearly 6 gold coins?" Tang Li was a little shocked when she saw the 5 gold and 20 silver coins she got after deducting the formalities.
She originally thought she could earn 2 to 3 gold coins at most, but she didn't expect that a level 3 dagger would be so valuable. It turned out that it was easy to make money during the development period.
Tang Li, who originally planned to take the money and leave, reopened the auction house because of the unexpected profit.
