Slime simulator

Closing the panel, a grin spread across Suke's face.

"What a powerful panel, luxurious, I love it!"

"Hehe..."

"Hehehe..."

"Gagagagagagaga..."

The arrogant cries startled the surrounding magical beasts.

It was the first time the magical beasts of the Scarlet Fire Swamp had heard the cry of a goose-like magical beast, and they were collectively dumbfounded.

"This... so that's how slimes sound!"

"Shocking!!! It's my first time knowing this too!"

"So nice to hear, I like it so much!!!"

"I want to give birth to monkey babies for it!!!"

"..."

Hearing 'give birth to monkey babies,' Suke looked towards the magical beast that had spoken, his body trembled, and his smile vanished.

The mother Fire Swamp Monkey, stared at by Suke, gave a shy smile and turned away, "Oh, you! Staring at someone like that...".

The corner of Suke's mouth twitched.

Ugh...

Retreating a dozen meters, Suke found a quiet place without any magical beasts.

"After leveling up, my control over magic has become even more effortless."

"It seems the main improvement at Tier 3 is the control over magic power."

Being at Tier 3 Level 6 was noticeably different from Tier 3 Level 5.

Suke closed his eyes and carefully sensed his surroundings.

He could feel the free-floating magic in the air.

This magic was naturally occurring and belonged to no one.

Suke attempted to draw it into his body.

The free-floating magic drifted around, its traces unstable, but there was a significant amount.

After several attempts, Suke successfully drew the free-floating magic into his body.

Afterward, Suke was surprised to discover that his magic power had actually increased.

Although it was extremely subtle, it was still an excellent start.

If he could absorb a large amount of free-floating magic from the environment...

Suke's eyes instantly lit up.

"Let's try the 'Essence Exhaustion Method'..."

Suke used the Essence Exhaustion Method.

When his magic power was depleted, Suke clearly felt as if he had become a small vent, and the free-floating magic in the environment spontaneously drilled into his body.

However, this vent was a bit small, so after a small amount of free-floating magic entered, no more magic entered.

"So... the increase in magic power felt when cultivating the Essence Exhaustion Method is not generated spontaneously within my body..."

Suke immediately returned to the edge of the Scarlet Fire Swamp and found the Flame Rhinoceros King.

Under the Flame Rhinoceros King's puzzled gaze, Suke asked, "Can you sense the magic in the environment?"

The magic in the environment?

The Flame Rhinoceros King looked completely bewildered.

"There's... magic in the environment?"

Suke nodded seriously.

Seeing this, the Flame Rhinoceros King closed its eyes and carefully sensed the surroundings.

Afterward, a look of difficulty appeared on its face.

After a long while, it opened its eyes with a wry smile, "I sensed a trace, but it disappeared instantly."

A trace...

Suke nodded slightly.

From this, it seemed that with the increase in level, the perception of things outside oneself would become stronger.

However, the Flame Rhinoceros King was the same Tier 3 Level 6 as himself, yet it could only sense a trace.

While he could easily feel a large amount of free-floating magic in the surrounding environment.

He temporarily shelved the idea of having the Flame Rhinoceros King try to draw free-floating magic into itself.

Suke tried for a while longer and discovered that he couldn't absorb more free-floating magic into his body.

"It's a bit tricky, I'll leave it to myself in the simulation."

Suke's attention shifted to the simulation.

"This simulation revealed a lot of information."

"The black-robed summoner has clearly turned that Tier 3 Level 1 Three-Eyed Fire Hound into his own summoned creature."

"Moreover, he's also a participant in this human and magical beast competition."

"The large snake encountered to the north... is very likely the Three-Flame Fire-Patterned Python rumored by the magical beasts. I couldn't even move. Is it stronger than the black-robed summoner?"

Suke shook his head.

"The two should be of comparable strength. The simulation is already half a year later, and the competition is probably over."

"And that girl, does she have a grudge against the black-robed summoner?"

Thinking back, Suke remembered that before he saved the girl.

One of the four charging crystals on the roof of the carriage the girl was riding in was missing.

And the magic power fluctuations around the girl were extremely chaotic.

"Did she experience a battle..."

"With the black-robed summoner?"

"Interesting..."

"If that's the case, could that girl also be a participant on the human side?"

Suke took out the sapphire necklace from his interspatial ring.

Since that time, Suke had heavily wrapped the sapphire necklace and placed it in the interspatial ring.

Since then, the strange phenomenon that occurred in the previous simulation had not occurred.

Looking at the sapphire necklace, Suke tried to pour magic power into it.

Suddenly, the sapphire vibrated slightly, and on the mirror surface, like ripples spreading in water, it seemed as if a scene was about to appear.

Seeing this, Suke instantly liquefied, transforming himself into a human shape.

Then, he took out a set of robes from the interspatial ring and put them on.

This was the clothing that the magician killed by the black cat had in his interspatial ring.

After putting it on, he completely wrapped himself in it, making it impossible to tell that he was a magical beast in disguise.

A moment later, a slightly panicked, exquisitely beautiful face appeared in the mirror.

Seeing Suke, the girl didn't seem surprised. She looked back, then gave a smile.

Like sweet rain falling in a fiery forest, like warm sunlight shining on a vast glacier, like an angel descending to earth...

So beautiful...

Suke asked himself, having viewed countless scenes, with hundred-level beauty filters, AI synthesis, and actresses from various countries, he had extensive experience.

Suke admitted that the girl was beautiful, and even more so when she smiled.

But seeing the ice-blue crystal necklace around the girl's neck, he felt that those were nothing more than fleeting clouds.

This... could this be the feeling of being moved?!

I really want to get that necklace!!!

Suke also gave a smile, although it was hidden in his clothes and the other party couldn't see it, he waved his hand.

"Hello!"

The girl clearly heard him, but couldn't understand, and a look of confusion appeared on her face.

Suke thought for a moment and tentatively said, "Konnichiwa?"

Suddenly, a man's voice came from the girl's side, "\u0026（*#\u0026（*#@*（*%..."

The girl seemed a little afraid of the owner of this voice and quickly waved goodbye to Suke.

The image was interrupted.

Suke played with the sapphire necklace, lost in thought.

"Could this thing be a phone?"

"However, that girl clearly has a noble status. When we first met, she seemed to be wearing a princess dress."

"Maybe she really is some kind of princess."

"But that ice-blue crystal..."

"I felt a huge temptation even through the screen."

Suke asked himself, he had never had such a feeling before.

This feeling of needing to get it, wanting to get it.

It had never appeared since coming to this world.

"...If I have the chance, I'll find a way to get it."

"With the simulator in hand, I'm not afraid of the girl suddenly attacking me with people."

This was also the reason why Suke dared to pour magic power into the sapphire necklace.

As long as there was danger in the simulation, the main body could directly throw the sapphire necklace far away.

"If there's no danger, I can build a good relationship with her."

"If she really is a princess, and I get on her good side, would I still have to worry about collecting magic crystals?!"

"Hehe..."

"Hehehe..."
