After making his decision, Chen Bing immediately got to work.
Record original point of time!
“Homeland Servant: Used ‘Homeland Construction Upgrade Scroll Ⅰ’!”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory started Upgrading!”
“Homeland Servant: The completion of upgrade requires players to start a game level and complete it, or use up five game level completion passes to enable an instant upgrade!”
…
“What! The upgrade is not instantaneous!”
Chen Bing was upgrading his Homeland construction for the first time, and it was different than he expected.
After confirming the upgrade for the slime factory, the level up was not done instantaneously, but it needed him to experience a time of one game.
To clear a game level would be too late. Luckily, he could still use five game completion passes.
Even though the games Chen Bing played all ended prematurely, it was still considered as completing the level. He had completed the games five times.
From that perspective, the amount of times of game completions was also considered an asset, and an especially valuable one.
“Magic World: Essence” was the last newbie game, and with five times of game completion, it could be used to complete a construction upgrade instantly.
It was such a coincidence. No matter how Chen Bing looked at it, it seemed like a trap that was designed to fool newbies.
However, he had to do it even if it was a trap!
“Spend completion time passes!”
Without further hesitation, Chen Bing decided to use up all five of his game completion passes.
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory upgraded to Level 2!”
“Homeland Servant: Population at Slime Factory increased to 8”
“Homeland Servant: Received 3 slime eggs”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory received a boost, efficiency up by 20%!”
“Homeland Servant: Player’s HP increased by 2%”
…
There were rumbling sounds, and the Slime Factory, which looked like a giant shed before, turned into a stone building, and its occupied area almost doubled.
Slime Factory has finished its upgrade!
Chen Bing quickly scanned through the system notifications.
The factory population increased to 8, and he received three slime eggs. These were the mandatory rewards when the slime factory was upgraded to Level 2.
The player HP’s increase by 2% was a random attribute enhancer.
Worker efficiency increasing by 20% was a random mechanic when the slime factory was upgraded.
“Rewind Time!”
It was not the slime fusion feature that Chen Bing wanted. Chen Bing did not hesitate and rewinded time to the original point.
The upgrading process was different than what he imagined. It used up several seconds of his time, and if he hesitated it would take more than ten seconds, which was not good.
As the scenery in front of him changed, the stone-built slime factory returned to a wooden shed, and the Homeland Construction Upgrading Scroll returned to his bag, and his amount of game completion times returned to 5/5.
Again!
“Homeland Servant: Used ‘Homeland Construction Upgrade Scroll Ⅰ’!”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory has started upgrading!”
“Homeland Servant: Used 5 game completion passes!”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory upgraded to Level 2!”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory workers increased to 8”
“Homeland Servant: Received 3 slime eggs”
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory received a boost, hatched slimes have an increase in level!”
“Homeland Servant: Player defense increase by 2%”
…
After his first experience, he did not waste any time in his second try.
“Slime workers have increased in farming skills, that’s not bad. One more level and they will reach expert level in farming, and they can help plant the sunflower seeds.”
The second time, the slime factory’s boost was an enhancement on slime worker’s farming skills.
Chen Bing was carrying sunflower seeds with him, and he needed expert level in farming to be able to plant them.
The increase in the farming level of the slime workers was not a bad choice for Chen Bing. However Chen Bing really needed the slime fusion feature, and he had no choice but to rewind time again.
…
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory received a boost, the population cap of slime workers increased by 25%!”
…
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory received a boost, ‘Slime Processing’ function enabled. Slime workers now equip the ability to process equipment!”
…
“Homeland Servant: Slime Factory received a boost, ‘Slime Fusion’ function enabled. Slime workers or pets now equip the ability to fuse in the factory!”
“Homeland Servant: Pet slots +1”
“Homeland Servant: Player’s strength increased by 2%”
…
“I got it!”
Chen Bing used Rewind Time continuously and got “Slime Fusion” by his fifth try.
The cap for slime workers’ population was also increased to eight, and he even got three extra slime eggs, and his pet slot increased by one. Other than that, his strength attribute was even increased by two percent.
The slime factory had changed a lot in appearance too. In the stone-built building, there was another area especially for fusing slimes.
As Chen Bing walked into it, the first thing he saw was two cylindrical glass containers.
One of them was larger than the other, and they were connected with a chain of magical runes.
The primary container was none other than the primary container, and the secondary container was used to place materials used for fusing.
Chen Bing only had a Warrior Slime. If he wanted to fuse slimes, he needed to hatch them first.
Upgrading the slime factory only used Chen Bing for about one minute, and Infinite Energy still lasted about 30 minutes. From a perspective of time, Chen Bing could try and hatch a slime that was as high-quality as the Warrior Slime, and then just fusing them.
However, Chen Bing decided not to aim for a slime that was too high-quality.
It was too time-consuming, and too try-hard.
If the Warrior Slime only fused once, it would have limited upgrades. Chen Bing decided that in the remaining 30 minutes, he would try to fuse the Warrior Slime with other slimes as much as he could.
Every fusion would make the attributes of Warrior Slime stronger, and there might even be a slight possibility of getting a secondary pet.
Chen Bing would use Rewind Time to acquire the secondary pet’s skills every time Warrior Slime fused!
Warrior Slime was already not bad on its own, and if combined with a few other slime skills, even if it was only Tier One, it would already have been the ultimate pet.
Furthermore, there was even a slight chance that there might be a mutation, which could make the Warrior Slime become the ultimate pet of Legendary quality!
Chen Bing started hatching slimes. As he was already experienced with it, his decision-making was even sharper now.
…
“Homeland Servant: Congratulations! You have received ‘Battle Slime’!”
…
[家园助手:恭喜!获得宠物『骑士史莱姆』!]
“Homeland Servant: Congratulations! You have received ‘Knight Slime’!”
…
“Homeland Servant: Congratulations! You have received ‘Assassin Slime’!”
…
“Homeland Servant: Congratulations! You have received ‘Priest Slime’!”
…
“Homeland Servant: Congratulations! You have received ‘Vampire Slime’!”
“Pet: Vampire Slime”
“Quality: Tier One, Silver”
“Level: 1”
“HP: 20”
“Physical Defense: 0”
“Magical Defense: 3”
“Attack: 3-7”
“Skill: Vampiric Aura (Slime)”
“Vampiric Aura (Slime): An aura that only works against slimes, any slime within 5 yards of the aura’s radius will turn 10% of damage dealt to the enemy as lifesteal. Aura radius increases as slime levels up”
…
“Vampire Slime!”
The previous hatching session probably used up all of Chen Bing’s luck, as now his luck was not that good. After five minutes, Chen Bing finally managed to hatch a Vampire Slime.
Under normal circumstances, the Vampire Slime which was only quality Silver would not have attracted his attention.
Even though Vampire Slime had a vampiric aura, it was only effective against slimes, and 10% of lifesteal was too weak. It was simply too weak against monsters.
However, it would be different when used on the Warrior Slime.
Chen Bing’s Warrior Slime was of quality Platinum, and it had much higher attributes than the average slime. Defense was also Warrior Slime’s specialty. Combined with a vampiric aura, it would highly increase the attack capability and stamina of the Warrior Slime.
Giving Warrior Slime a lifesteal ability was one of Chen Bing’s plans, and the only slimes that had this ability were Priest Slime, Angel Slime, Athens Slime, and Vampire Slime.
Priest Slime and Angel Slime could give the player lifesteal, and their lifesteal ability was comparatively weaker. Athens Slime was slightly better in this aspect. However, he did not want to be too try-hard. Even with Rewind Time, Chen Bing could not guarantee that he had enough time to hatch one.
On the other hand, Vampire Slime was not too bad of a choice.
Even though it was only of quality Silver, it was enough.
“Homeland Servant: Please place the slime that will be strengthened in the primary container, and the other slime as a fusing material in the secondary container. Warning, fusing slime is an irreversible process. The slime in the secondary container will disappear even if the fusion fails!”
As Chen Bing started the slime fusion process, the system warning blared loudly.
There was no need to hesitate. Chen Bing placed the Warrior Slime and Vampire Slime in the primary and secondary containers respectively.
Both slimes stood in the container blankly, without knowing what was going on.
“Homeland Servant: Confirm ‘Vampire Slime’ as fusing material to enhance ‘Warrior Slime’?”
“Confirmed!”
As he used Rewind Time to record the original point of time, Chen Bing immediately confirmed.
After confirming, a bright blue light shined in front of Chen Bing
An azure light shined from both containers.
The body of the Vampire Slime disappeared in the blue light, while the Warrior Slime was sucking in all the blue light.
“Homeland Servant: Fusion Failed!”
“Homeland Servant: Vampire Slime disappeared, amount of times Warrior Slime has fused +1”
“F*ck! How dare it betray me, and here I thought it would be a success!”
Looking at the blue light, Chen Bing thought that he would be so lucky to succeed in his first try. However, a system notification indicated otherwise.
