Slime simulator

The four Flame Forged Serpents lay in the shade beneath a stout fire tree, their serpentine eyes scanning their surroundings.

Passing magical beasts showed clear signs of fear upon seeing them.

If nothing else, the mere sight of those four heads was quite intimidating.

Suddenly, a magical beast came staggering over, "King, King!"

The four Flame Forged Serpents glanced at the approaching magical beast, "What is it?"

"The… the Slime King is here! We must go and greet him!"

Slime King?

That slime?!

Greet him?

The four Flame Forged Serpents flicked their tail, directly sending the messenger beast flying, "He's here, so he's here, why are you telling me? I didn't hear anything."

The surrounding magical beasts witnessed this scene.

The four Flame Forged Serpents swept their gaze around, "If anyone breathes a word of this, just wait and see…"

Instantly, all the surrounding magical beasts lowered their heads, preparing to quietly leave.

Clap clap…

A series of clapping sounds rang out.

A blue figure riding a robust-looking dog magical beast appeared in the sight of the four Flame Forged Serpents.

This is…

The four Flame Forged Serpents instantly recognized him.

This was that slime who had been in the limelight during the Longhuo Ritual.

But… how could its aura be so strong!!!

They couldn't see through it at all.

The dog magical beast it was riding also exuded the aura of a Fourth Rank Level 5.

Slime…

Suke's gaze landed on the four Flame Forged Serpents, "Considering we both came from the Flame Forest, I can pretend I didn't hear what you said earlier.

Now that I'm here, you know what to do, right?"

The four Flame Forged Serpents immediately prostrated themselves before Suke, all four heads deeply pressed against the ground, "The four Flame Forged Serpents respectfully welcome the King!"

The surrounding magical beasts, seeing the four Flame Forged Serpents yield so quickly, also hurriedly came over and prostrated themselves before Suke.

In an instant, a large patch of dark magical beasts lay sprawled on the ground.

Suke swept his gaze across them.

There were over three hundred magical beasts here, the majority of which were Third Rank magical beasts.

There were very few magical beasts below the Third Rank, and the remaining small portion were Fourth Rank magical beasts.

This force was already considerable.

If it continued to develop, it could become a large force like the Sima Mountain Range.

Suke looked at the four Flame Forged Serpents and directly asked, "How many magical beasts have come out of the Flame Forest recently, and how many have been converted?"

The four Flame Forged Serpents hurriedly replied, "King, over a hundred magical beasts have come out, the highest level is Fourth Rank Level 6, and the lowest level is Second Rank Level 8.

All the magical beasts that came out have been converted."

Suke nodded in satisfaction.

The conversion referred to here meant incorporating them into the Huotou Mountain Range.

This represented that all the magical beasts that came out had become part of his force.

"Not bad, not bad."

"I trust you with your work. From today onwards, you are the true Vice King of the Huotou Mountain Range."

The four Flame Forged Serpents heavily knocked their serpentine heads against the ground, expressing their loyalty, "King, I will certainly not fail my mission!!!"

Suke nodded, then said, "In the coming period, send out more magical beasts to thoroughly scout the situation within two hundred miles around Dawa Town.

If there is any disturbance, be sure to report it promptly.

Also, if there is any information about beastmen, immediately go to the Ferocious Mountain Range to report it.

If you encounter problems that you cannot solve, you can also seek help from the Ferocious Mountain Range, understand?"

The four Flame Forged Serpents hurriedly nodded.

Suke hummed in acknowledgement, then took out a pile of resources from his interspatial ring, "Distribute these to the brothers."

The four Flame Forged Serpents' eyes widened at the sight of the large quantity of resources, but they dared not have any selfish intentions and hurriedly distributed all the resources.

Suke's actions also won the hearts of the magical beasts of the Huotou Mountain Range.

Having done all this, Suke left.

More than ten days later, besides exploring the treasures of the Duduan Mountain Range.

There was another matter that had to be put on the agenda.

That was the beastmen.

If he remembered correctly, the beastmen would come to capture Lucy in 14 days.

By having the magical beast team annihilate them, he could temporarily avoid this calamity.

Suke firmly remembered this point.

This was the solution he had derived from multiple simulations.

He and Kara could not take action.

Once the two of them took action, it would attract the arrival of more beastmen, and even the unicorn knights of the Holy Church of the Cross.

Neither he nor Kara would fare well.

But annihilating them through a horde of magical beasts would not be risky, nor would there be any follow-up.

At least… not in the short term.

Therefore, Suke had to ensure that everything was foolproof.

The Huotou Mountain Range was close to Dawa Town, so Suke assigned this task to the magical beasts in the Huotou Mountain Range.

Nowadays, the distribution of magical beast forces in the Huotou Mountain Range was no longer what it used to be, and it could easily deal with some not-so-powerful enemies.

Entrusting the magical beasts in the Huotou Mountain Range with this matter, on the other hand, Suke wanted to test their ability to handle affairs and their coordination skills.

Magical beasts were not like humans, and they would not be as smooth and perfect as humans in handling some matters.

Magical beasts also had their advantages. Once an order was given, they would quickly complete it. The phenomenon of slacking off was rarely seen in magical beast teams. Overall, the efficiency was not lower than that of humans, and may even be slightly higher.

…

Back in Dawa Town.

Suke lay on the chair, his gaze falling on Dani, who was wiping the counter.

"Dani, take a break. The counter is already very shiny. If you keep wiping, it'll lose its skin."

Hearing Suke's words, Dani put down the rag, "Mr. Kern, isn't my job a bit monotonous?

After all… there aren't many customers in the shop.

Such a high salary makes me uneasy…

How about you reduce it by half for me…"

Since becoming a full-time employee, Dani had been thinking every day about how she could make herself worth the salary she was receiving.

But she found that even if she wiped these counter decorations a hundred times a day, she would not be worthy of the salary she was receiving.

It was too much…

It was really too much…

Especially recently, the magical beast mountain ranges within the kingdom had been experiencing frequent activity, and many adventurers had been killed.

The Huotou Mountain Range near Dawa Town had also become more active.

This place was close to the border, and the danger was already great. Although the returns were proportional to the risks, the risks had become so great that they had dissuaded many people.

The number of adventurers coming here had greatly decreased, which led to poor business in the shop.

At this juncture, many shops had already begun to lay off staff, but Mr. Kern and Mr. Kara not only did not let her leave, but instead allowed her to stay and gave her an extremely high salary.

She sincerely wanted to help the shop sell more potions and revitalize the business, but she was powerless.

Hearing Dani's words, Suke wanted to award Dani the 'Best Employee Award'.

"Dani, what you said makes sense. These jobs are indeed very boring and monotonous. Even magic puppets can easily do them."

Dani nodded, already mentally prepared for the worst.

Even if she could no longer work here, she could not let the shop lose money.

Moreover, her family's tailor shop was next door. As long as she could see Mr. Kern, she would be content.

Suke looked at Dani, who was ready, and sighed with emotion.

It seemed that Dani was ready to accept more work. She was indeed the best employee!

"Dani, from now on, leave the small tasks such as cleaning to Emilia.

I have decided to expand the potion business to Colette City, and I have decided to appoint you as the CEO."

Dani was stunned.

She wasn't going to be laid off!!!

CEO?

What was that?

Never mind, as long as she could help Mr. Kern!

Emilia, who was listening to all this at the second-floor staircase, was stunned.

To make herself, a princess… clean?!!!
