Chapter 446: Tell me again what you want? [Seeking monthly votes]
The slime is about half the size of a washing machine, with an overall dull bluish-green color. Deep inside its body, a very faint, almost extinguished light blue fluorescence can be vaguely seen.
The substance emitting this faint fluorescent light is hard to see clearly, as if it is wrapped in something, with only a few gaps showing.
There were no facial features, limbs, or torso visible on the slime, and it did not resemble any animal structure that Lin Li knew.
It just lay there on the ground like a giant pudding fresh from the refrigerator.
If there really was such a big pudding, even for Baowei, it would probably take him two meals to finish it.
At this moment, the slime that had been illuminated by Lin Li's flashlight seemed to finally have some "free time" to respond to Lin Li. It was seen that its body was slightly bulging towards Lin Li, as if it was "looking".
Lin Li moved his flashlight slightly to avoid the possibility of "shielding it directly into the other person's eyes", but he did not say anything.
The face behind the protective suit was also expressionless, but the sound of his breathing was a little louder than usual.
He had a bad feeling.
Lin Li lowered his head and stared at the slime for a while. Finally, Lin Li broke the silence: "Hello."
At this moment, Lin Li's voice sounded very calm and indifferent, but if the slime had telepathy, it would hear:
Don't answer. Don't answer. Don't answer.
You can't speak, you can't speak, you can't speak--
You are a slave in this all-female world, right? This must be the truth. You are their wage earner, right? Wow, these women are so mean! They actually enslaved you to fly planes—
"Hello." Slime answered Lin Li's question.
Chinese, the voice sounds sweet, it's a female voice.
But that was all the words he uttered. It seemed as if the slime was also sizing up and thinking, trying to judge Lin Li's stance, whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"You're a woman, aren't you?"
"Female, what female..." Slime hesitated after hearing this question, as if thinking. After a few seconds, he made a sound of sudden enlightenment: "Are you asking about the female in terms of gender? Of course, yes?
Isn't the other sex already extinct?"
At the end of his words, he became a little hesitant, and turned his head slightly, as if wondering why Lin Li asked such a question.
Lin Li smiled.
System, fuck your mother.
If he could have been lucky just now that the person in front of him was just a talking slime, but now after hearing the slime's question, Lin Li was 100% or even 90% sure that it... she was a native of this world.
Lin Li suddenly realized something.
I thought I was at the bottom of the canyon and had never seen the bodies of locals.
But is there a possibility that those discolored, spoiled, and smelly slimes in the cockpits of the mecha wreckage, which were once thought to be intelligent colloids used to connect the pilot and the mecha, are actually the corpses of the locals?
No remains were found... They had all evolved into this state. No matter whether they died after falling down, whether they died in the cockpit or climbed out of the mecha, it was naturally impossible for the so-called remains to be discovered by themselves.
Lin Li put away these complicated thoughts, looked at the slime in front of him, and asked with concern: "How are you now? Are you okay? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The local in front of him was his only channel to explore this world and was also the target most likely to trigger the system task. Lin Li was very worried about her condition after experiencing such an accident.
"How can I be okay? I'm about to die, can't you see?" The slime smiled bitterly and shook his head - if that thing could be considered a head.
Lin Li: “…”
How the hell did you let me see that?!
No matter how you look at it, you look like a piece of slime! I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell the physical condition of a slime!
But Lin Li absolutely couldn't watch this local die in front of him. He wanted him to at least tell him some information about this world before he died!
"How can I—"
[Ever since the death of the old man, your close friend regardless of age difference, you have become alone in the real world and have no other friends. But today, a beautiful girl suddenly broke into your world and brought you a ray of light.
However, fate seems to have played a joke on you. The beautiful girl's health is not good and she doesn't have much time left.
As a returning immortal cultivator, how could I bear to see such a beautiful girl vanish like this?]
【Mission triggered! 】
[Mission 2: Save this beautiful girl and heal her injuries.]
[Quest Reward: Physical Improvement: Overall recovery ability increased by 50%; 1 random system item; 100 system currency]
Before Lin Li could finish his concerned words, the system popped up its task.
After reading it, Lin Li's mouth twitched slightly.
His eyes were fixed on the words "beautiful girl".
The last hope is gone. This slime has been designated as a local by the system.
System, I am so lucky.
The torture that the beautiful lady gave me last time is still fresh in my mind, and now you want a beautiful girl, right?
In the last life, you didn't call Shan Qing Dao Ren a beautiful old man. Thank you so much! !
Damn, could the missions in this world be love-related like the ones in the apocalyptic world?
System, I'm quitting masturbation, please stop, please.
However, it was too early to consider these things at this moment. Regardless of whether the system popped up this task or not, Lin Li would try to cure this slime. At this moment, he was just more determined.
"Your current condition is not irreversible yet, right? There is still a chance of recovery? Don't give up on yourself, I will cure you!" Lin Li first aroused the slime's will to survive, not waiting for it to die without saying a word.
Lin Li materialized the "Lihuo Yangjian Gourd" and first took out a huge waterproof cloth and spread it flat on the muddy ground. Then he stepped forward and tried to pick up the beautiful girl.
The beautiful girl's body is soft and elastic, not sticky, and not like jelly or pudding. It can be cut into different parts with a little force. Lin Li can clearly feel that the beautiful girl is a whole. When he holds the middle part, although the two sides will fall due to gravity, they will not "drip".
After carrying the beautiful girl onto the waterproof sheet to prevent the substances in the mud from causing her secondary damage, Lin Li poured out a large amount of medicine from the gourd and asked:
"Take a look. Is there anything here that can help heal or relieve your current injuries?"
"Huh?" Slime did not resist the whole time. She just looked at the gourd in Lin Li's hand and the medicine in front of her with some surprise, as if wondering how Lin Li did it.
"What are these..."
In addition to the bulge that looked like a head, the slime's body also protruded a more slender cylinder, which then turned into a gesture similar to a hand and picked up one of the boxes of medicine.
"Yunnan Baiyao...what are they?"
Slime recognized Chinese characters, and after seeing the words on the medicine in his hand clearly, he asked in confusion.
"As for the medicines in my world, don't worry about what 'my world' is for now. I'll explain it to you later when I have a chance. First, take a look and see if any of these medicines can help relieve your injuries." Lin Li said straight to the point.
Slime shook his head: "I don't know, but I think it's meaningless."
"My core consciousness was severely damaged in the shockwave, and this silent field is still suppressing my condition. Without the calming energy field, high-concentration nutrient solution, and matrix stem cells... without these, there's no way to cure my current condition..."
Lin Li didn't actually hold out much hope, he just hoped for a coincidence.
Then a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. After opening it, a pill was found inside. Lin Li handed it to the slime: "Then you can eat this. It should be effective."
[Fuyu Pill: Can heal all recent injuries to the body and damage to the essence, bringing the dead back to life, and turning flesh into bones.]
There is a product in the [Mall] that is quite expensive, only 150 system currencies per piece.
But after confirming that the beautiful girl couldn't see the regular medicine he brought and found that it could cure her, Lin Li immediately bought one.
——Considering that you can get 100 system currencies back after completing the task, plus physical improvement and system items, as long as you can complete it, this is definitely a sure-win business.
"Fuyu Dan" should be useful.
Lin Li thought that the descriptions of "incomplete body" and "damaged origin" perfectly matched the situation of the beautiful girl before him.
"What is this?" Looking at the pill in Lin Li's hand, Slime asked this question again.
"It's a magical medicine. I believe it can completely heal your injuries. Do you have a mouth or something like that? Take it into your body and absorb it."
Lin Li pushed the pill a little closer to the beautiful girl. Seeing that she didn't move, he persuaded her again:
"There's no need for me to harm you, and your condition is already so bad, so why not try to save your life?"
As if convinced, the "hand" reached out and took the "Feather-Regenerating Pill" from Lin Li's hand. After watching it for a while, the "Feather-Regenerating Pill" was directly swallowed by her palm. The whole hand with the ammunition retracted into the body and gradually approached the core inside that was emitting a faint light.
Lin Li stared at the scene, expecting something to change.
Fortunately, the development of everything did not disappoint Lin Li. When the pill approached a certain distance, white lines emitting rich spiritual energy began to appear visible to the naked eye.
These lines started from the pill and spread out in all directions, forming a network in the body like blood vessels.
"Hmm~ah~" I don't know if it was comfortable or what, but the slime let out a silver cry.
Her voice is sweet to begin with, and it sounds quite nice when she calls out.
Unfortunately, considering her overall situation, it is difficult for Lin Li to evaluate her.
Is this considered an alien girl? At least an alien girl has a human form, right?
It's really different when the lights are turned off.
"How do you feel now?" Lin Li asked, putting away the strange thoughts in his mind and looking at the unfinished task.
"How magical," the beautiful girl exclaimed in amazement, "I can feel this thing healing my body. How can such a small thing achieve such an effect? It's incredible..."
"As long as it's useful." After hearing the other party's self-perception, Lin Li felt a little relieved and nodded.
The reason why the task has not been completed is simply because she has not absorbed enough medicinal power and has not met the system's healing conditions.
At this moment, the pill still maintains almost its original size. If I don't help, it will probably take a long time to completely absorb it.
After all, from the perspective of the world of immortal cultivation, the beautiful girl can probably be considered a mortal, so her speed in absorbing the medicinal power is naturally not fast.
Theoretically, if I go to help, she can absorb it faster, but although the encyclopedia left by Taoist Shanqing teaches me how to help people absorb the medicinal power.
But that has to follow the human body's veins.
This slime has a trading network.
Taoist Shanqing only taught me the basic questions, but did not teach me the extended questions.
In order to avoid doing good things with bad intentions, Lin Li thought it would be better to let nature take its course.
If you look closely, you can still see that the pill is slowly shrinking. It certainly won't take several days or half a month to absorb the medicinal power. You can still wait.
"Since you don't have to worry about your injuries anymore, let's chat." Lin Li also sat cross-legged on the waterproof cloth and looked at the slime in front of him. "I have a lot of questions and things I want to know about you, and I know you have the same doubts about me."
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Li. Do you have a name?"
"Of course I have a name. My name is Zhu Ning." The slime named Zhu Ning introduced himself.
Lin Liben thought he would hear a more Western name.
But it made sense, after all, it was still in Chinese, so Lin Li nodded: "Is that so, Miss Zhu... To show my sincerity, let me first explain my situation."
"I am not from your world."
As he spoke, Lin Li reached out and unbuttoned his protective suit layer by layer, then lifted the mask, revealing his face underneath.
After seeing Lin Li's appearance clearly, Zhu Ning was completely stunned. After a long pause, he uttered a voice filled with surprise: "How could this happen?"
"Lin Li... aren't you human? Why do you look like this..."
Zhu Ning always thought that the person inside the protective suit was a human being like her.
Lin Li: “…”
The Tiangang is reversed.
But from Zhu Ning's perspective, this is true.
"I am a human being, at least in my world. My world..."
Lin Li, like in the doomsday world and the world of immortal cultivation, did not try to hide his origins.
He directly told Zhu Ning the general situation of the earth and his ability to travel between the two worlds.
"...Anyway, I've been wandering around the bottom of this canyon for over twenty hours, but I haven't seen any living creatures until you showed up."
"I have almost no understanding of my current situation, as well as the situation in your world, so I hope you can give me some answers and introductions."
When Lin Li finished speaking, Zhu Ning did not make a sound.
Her "hands" held the pile of mobile phones, and she looked at this brand new "technological" product that was still functioning normally, as well as the locally saved videos and photos on it that recorded the existence of the earth. She was unable to come back to her senses for a long time.
Lin Li thought this behavior was normal, so he did not urge him, but waited quietly.
Anyway, I still have seven hours to stay in this world, so there is still time.
"Surely...Surely there is such a miraculous thing..."
Zhu Ning muttered to herself while looking at her phone. Then her body slowly squirmed and deformed, gradually becoming the outline of a human.
It's just an outline. Although you can make out the limbs, body, and facial features, it's very rough and the details can't stand up to scrutiny. The fingers of both hands are like the webbed feet of a duck, connected to each other. The feet don't have toes, they're just cylinders, and there are no facial features on the head.
At first glance, it looks quite scary to those who don't know.
"The recovery is not enough..."
After Zhu Ning muttered to himself again, the human body that had just transformed softened into a lump again. However, the head was preserved, and clear and realistic facial features appeared.
But a translucent human head with a body underneath is even more terrifying.
Zhu Ning looked at Lin Li and said, "So, Mr. Lin Li, your world still has two genders. You are the legendary male, right?"
"Yes," Lin Li nodded in agreement with Zhu Ning's words, "I am the legendary high-quality man."
"Male... The last time I heard this word was when I was a kid in history class." Zhu Ning sighed, then glanced at his phone, then looked down at the pill that was still being digested in his body, and looked at Lin Li with admiration:
"So, Mr. Lin Li, has the technology and medical level in your world developed to such a powerful level?"
"A 'cell phone' that can still be used normally in the field of silence, and a medical method that can heal injuries like mine with just a small 'pill' without any assistance..."
"That's not the case," Lin Li shook his head.
"This phone works fine. It's probably because the tech tree is completely different from what you ordered. So, the 'silent field' you mentioned can't restrict the tech products in our world."
"As for this pill, didn't I say before that I can travel between multiple worlds, and my superpowers occasionally grant me things from these worlds. This pill is one of them, and it doesn't belong to my original world."
"Actually, I still have products from your world, given to me by my super powers."
"A product of our world? What is it?" Zhu Ning came back to his senses from the shock and looked at Lin Li with some curiosity.
"Mecha, and some supporting facilities."
Lin Li snapped his fingers, and the next second, A+ combat armor appeared and stood beside the two of them, standing upright.
"Dawn 2? No? It seems a little different?" Zhu Ning exclaimed.
"I don't know what you call it. My only ability is to say it's A+ combat armor. Also, since it originates from your world, it follows your rules. When I tried to pilot it at the bottom of the canyon, it popped out because of the 'silence field'. Control is restricted, and movement is very sluggish, let alone flying."
Lin Li shrugged and explained calmly.
"Can you also drive armor with your human form?" Zhu Ning was stunned when he heard that, turned his head to look at Lin Li, and asked slowly.
"Yes."
Seeing is believing. Lin Li thought about it and opened the hatch of the mecha. At the same time, he jumped into the cockpit to speed up the process.
Waiting for the slime-like substance to wrap itself again, the red warning signs covering the entire screen did not change.
"Silencing field! Power system blocked!"
"Silencing Field! Energy weapons are temporarily unavailable!"
"Silencing field! Neural link system blocked!"
“…”
Since the last time he controlled the mecha at the bottom of the canyon, Lin Li's mecha synchronization index has increased a lot due to the mission, but the actual control of the mecha still has a great sense of obstruction, but it is only slightly better than before.
Looking at Zhu Ning, Lin Li slowly spread out the mecha's hands: "Hmm."
Zhu Ning's voice was filled with disbelief:
"Men... can actually pilot mechas, and A-rank ones at that? That's not what we learned in history class..."
"And it's directly A-level..."
After starting to talk with Lin Li, Zhu Ning started talking to himself unusually frequently.
After seeing Lin Li get off the mecha, Zhu Ning looked at him seriously and said, "Mr. Lin Li, can you see the synchronization index of your mecha?"
"80, the mecha shows 160%," Lin Li gave the answer, then curiously asked, "How does this number compare in your world? Is it considered high or low?"
Zhu Ning was stunned again.
Three seconds later, she prostrated herself on the ground and pleaded loudly to Lin Li:
"Mr. Lin Li, if possible, could you give me one of your promotion devices? This may be very important to me and my country!!!"
Lin Li☉_☉: "What do you want?"
Zhu Ning: "Please! Hand over your promotion device to me!!!!"
Lin Li: “(゜▽゜)?”
