Beastmaster: I don’t want to be a breeder!.

Chapter 186 Island (7)

The power of the small soft is improved by collecting a 1% attribute tax from all slime subjects.

Therefore, the key to accelerating the improvement of small soft power is to increase taxation.

There are two ways to increase tax revenue: one is to increase the quantity and the other is to improve the quality.

Increase the amount, increasing the overall number of slimes.

Li Cunxu has been doing this, but has reached a bottleneck.

The number of slimes in the Muye Plains of Tongdu, the garbage dump of Xidu, the Mechanical Demolition Secret Realm and the White Jade Secret Realm has reached saturation, and adding a few more will not increase the number by much.

As for other places?

For example, the wilderness is vast and has enough space for slimes to thrive.

Li Cunxu thought about it, but the wilderness was too dangerous. He was afraid to go in because he wanted to be safe, so he couldn't throw slimes into the wilderness.

Most pets are territorial creatures. As long as you don't enter its territory, it will not attack you. However, a few pets are not territorial creatures. They like to wander around like hikers (tourists). If they meet a weak one, it's okay, but if they meet a strong one, they will die. Pets that can wander around in the wilderness are generally very strong.

Unfortunately, as soon as I entered the wilderness, I encountered a king-level pet that loved to wander around and was hostile to humans.

Therefore, Li Cunxu never dared to set foot in the wilderness.

Ask someone to place the slime for you?

It's a good idea, but it's too ostentatious.

You spend a lot of money to hire people to release slimes, and your slimes are so strong that it doesn't seem reasonable. It's hard not to make associations.

Rely on the slime to rush into the wilderness on its own?

The slimes can't get through. They are too weak. No matter which tribe acts as a roadblock, the slimes can't get through.

What's more, the territories in the wilderness have been occupied by various pet tribes, and the slimes are too weak to compete with them. Without territory, they can only live in the corners and edges that the pet tribes don't want. Relying on that little space in the corners, the slimes cannot reproduce even if they want to.

If the wilderness doesn’t work, how about the ocean?

Li Cunxu's eyes lit up as he looked at the ocean. "The ocean seems feasible. The ocean is boundless and can provide slimes with enough living space."

But the ocean has a limit.

Only slimes with water attributes can survive in the ocean. Slimes with other attributes will suffer from severe acclimatization if they stay in the ocean for too long and eventually become weak and die.

Li Cunxu did not immediately release water-attribute slime into the ocean.

First, there is a mechanical camera watching, so it is not convenient to resurrect the water slime in a high-profile manner.

Second, there were a large number of venomous sea urchins in this area, and Xiaoru had offended them. They didn't dare come ashore to trouble Xiaoru, so why would they dare to take their anger out on the water slime, which looked similar to Xiaoru? The venomous sea urchins could fire a sting at random, and the water slime's fragile body would die at the slightest touch.

The Stinger Slime, which also has water attributes, was nailed to death by the poisonous stingers shot out from the bottom of the sea as soon as it entered the sea.

In addition to quantity, there is also quality.

'Quality' refers to the strength of the slime subjects.

A bronze-level slime will definitely pay more attribute tax than a black iron-level slime.

Improving quality is also a troublesome thing.

Since slimes are too weak, their levels increase very quickly. It is fast, but they are weak in the follow-up. Once they reach the ninth level of Black Iron, it is difficult for slimes to break through to the Bronze level due to potential limitations.

"How about having Xiaoyi invent a special medicine that can help Black Iron Slime break through to Bronze?"

The little white spider rolled its eyes at Li Cunxu.

"I've been taught to become stronger, I've been taught to mutate into a dragon slime, I've been taught to research weapons for the mechanical apprentices, and now I'm being taught to research special medicine to help slimes advance to higher levels. I only have two clones, and I'm too busy to handle it all."

Li Cunxu said, "You can take your time with the rest. At this stage, you should focus on improving your realm. Once you break through to the silver level, you will have another silver clone."

The little white spider rolled its eyes at Li Cunxu again.

The next morning, the red sun rose from the sea level.

Li Cunxu packed up and set off for the island.

He had really had enough of this beach, and even Huang Jinjiu's Thunder Horse couldn't stop him.

On the beach, the only source of food is the roe from the venomous sea urchins.

Although sea urchin roe is delicious, Li Cunxu is almost vomiting after eating it every day for more than ten days. Furthermore, seafood has a fishy smell. At first, he didn't notice sea urchin roe, but after he got tired of it, he found the smell extremely strong. Now, when Li Cunxu smelled the faint fishy smell of sea urchin roe, he felt nauseous and retched.

The one who shared Li Cunxu's feelings was the little white spider.

Xiaoruan has a good appetite and eats anything.

Murrells have a strong taste, probably because they are birds, and they really like the smell of the sea.

As soon as we entered the dense forest, the clear sky immediately changed and muffled thunder sounded in the distance.

It started raining soon, and it was a heavy rain.

The strange thing is that the rain only fell where Li Cunxu was, but not in other places on the island.

There must be someone behind this abnormal rain.

"Here we go again, this Thunder Horse is endless, isn't it?"

Ever since the attack by the poisonous sea urchin king, whenever Li Cunxu opened the door every morning, it would rain heavily. When he closed the door and returned to the house, the rain would stop soon. But when he opened the door again, the rain would come again.

The only one Li Cunxu had seen that was capable of doing this was the Thunder Horse of Golden Nine.

Even if it wasn't it, Li Cunxu had no other suspects.

In the forest, many running bulls hid their bodies behind tree trunks, secretly poked their heads out, and looked at Li Cunxu curiously as if they were looking at an alien creature.

The scene left Li Cunxu speechless.

Li Cunxu really wanted to knock on the brains of each of them.

However, when I thought about the fact that they would run away before I even got close to them, I ignored them.

Galloping bulls are timid, so their territories are relatively safe and free of danger.

"Human, please don't go any further. If you go any further, you will die."

An old voice sounded.

Li Cunxu was shocked, and so were the audience watching the live broadcast.

On this uninhabited island, there is actually a second being that can speak human language.

Is he an island savage? Or a pet?

The former is fine.

The latter is a bit scary.

Pets that can speak human language are basically overlord-level.

Of course, there is another possibility that he ate a treasure that can refine the transverse bone.

Li Cunxu looked around but saw no one.

"Who's talking?"

"It's me."

A stampeding bull with a green, round, spotted mushroom on its head slowly emerged from the shadows.

"Why can't I move forward?" Li Cunxu asked.

The Running Bull said, "Because there are terrible monsters ahead."

Monsters were a name for pets in the old times before the Cataclysm.

Li Cunxu noticed that the running bull was talking, but its mouth was not moving.

"You can't speak, are you communicating with me using the language of the mind?"

"Ah."

The language of the mind is a lord skill that allows one to communicate with other creatures through the mind. Mastering this skill is equivalent to mastering the language and being able to communicate with any creature.

"What's that monster called?"

"The Mushroom King of Wisdom."
