Me? A slime? A villain who destroys a nation? Fine!

"Why use it on humans in such an exaggerated way? Maybe it's because it's stuffed with nutrients from spider demons and corrupted wolves... although it is indeed a bit much."

Because Lin Ming already had enough of this stuff, he injected an even larger amount than a normal adult would.

Slime's mucus does indeed have a terrifying absorption effect on the stomach, at least that's how it was when Lin Ming was delivering nutrients to himself. No chewing is required, just like an injection, or even faster.

Could this be the reason why slimes went extinct?

Lin Ming became increasingly terrified as he thought about it, and suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with him being worth 100 million.

Seeing this, Lin Ming quickly released the old man and then moved on to the next refugee.

The villagers stared at each other in disbelief, then quickly lined up and let Lin Ming roughly tie them up, passing on nutrients one by one. No one was spared, from the elderly to the sick and weak children.

Not long after, the villagers stared at their bodies in disbelief—

The healthy texture of the meat, the overflowing sense of strength and fullness, it was like a rebirth with a completely different look. My own body was sparkling and glowing.

Everyone's constitution is different. Some people gain weight easily with a little extra nutrition, while others, like the elderly, seem like completely different people. Perhaps... this is what they looked like in their prime?

The little fairy was completely dumbfounded. She thought she would get used to it by now, but looking at the group of human villagers who were all different sizes, some of them were as fat as pigs.

"Nephew, don't give him too much, just enough. This will drain your energy; you've already lost weight." The little imp whispered to Little Gulu's face, afraid of being overheard.

"I understand. It was my first time doing this for someone else, so I didn't handle it very well." Lin Ming nodded and looked at himself. Did he seem to be a little smaller?

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up and offer your gratitude to the Earth Fairy!" The old man waved his hand, creating a powerful gust of wind, and issued a very forceful declaration.

Upon seeing this, the villagers all knelt down to express their gratitude.

"Thank you, Earth Fairy, for your kindness!"

"Thank you, Mother Earth!"

"We are willing to offer you any form of loyalty!"

"Yes!" The old man stood in front of the leading villager and knelt down on one knee. "I will never forget your great kindness in my old age. I am willing to go through fire and water for you and give you everything."

"Uh... really? Ahem, let me say a few words." Seeing the sudden solemnity of the scene, Lin Ming also pretended to puff out his little belly. "Um... have you seen a shifty-eyed thief? He should be hiding in your village."

From the villagers' perspective: the little goblin coughed cutely twice, then said, "Mommy!"

The villagers were stunned for a moment.

Uh… Mom’s vocal cord modification is still working on Lin Ming. Lin Ming coughed a few times and changed his default language: “Mimi mamo!”

"Great!" the old man applauded enthusiastically.

"That's so well said!!" The villagers quickly followed the old man's lead, clapping enthusiastically, and even the little fairy joined in the clapping and fun.

"As expected of an earth fairy!"

"Her singing is so beautiful!"

"What? Isn't this a speech?"

"I've never heard such a moving song before, sob sob sob..."

Seeing the villagers talking in their own languages, Lin Ming knew they didn't understand him; his language system seemed to only support fairy languages.

Lin Ming glanced at the little girl from before, who immediately clapped loudly, afraid of angering the earth fairy.

At that moment, Lin Ming jumped into the girl's arms, startling her so much that she hugged him tightly. She was a little scared but dared not let go, so she could only hold on tightly.

The other villagers were also startled, fearing that the girl would be thrown to the ground and incur the demon's wrath.

However, Lin Ming then began to relay a message, directly using [Radio Wave Understanding] to transmit it to the little girl.

"Ah..." The little girl's mind flashed, and then she repeated Lin Ming's words verbatim: "Fairy... Fairy said... Have you seen a... shifty-eyed thief with wounds on his limbs? He seems to be hiding in your village."

"What—!? Those damned thieves dare to come again!?" The old man was the first to get angry. His white hair stood on end, and his anger seemed to spread outwards. He looked as if he could tear the thieves in two!

"Those damned bastards must be slaughtered! Let's begin! Find this thief for the Fairy Lady! He'll be a sacrifice for her!"

The old man waved his hand, and the villagers' morale soared. The crowd erupted in cheers and they immediately sprang into action.

This startled the thief who was eavesdropping, and he quickly shrank back into the abandoned house.

The thieves were dumbfounded. What were they going to do now?! That was actually an earth fairy?! But wasn't that just a slime?! This was too bizarre, but what kind of lowly slime could do something like this?! Could it be that all the previous information was a lie?

The thief gritted his teeth in fear. This slime would definitely kill him, just like it killed his older brother. What to do!? Call...call his accomplices!?

But after searching the slime, the thief discovered that it hadn't left him anything. He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the floor, then carefully lowered it again as his fist struck the ground.

What to do, what to do, what to do? I should have known better than to try and catch this slime. If he had pretended to be a civilian, he might have even received its favor...

The thief was so flustered that his teeth were chattering, and he was clenching his fingers so tightly that they bled.

That slime just looks stupid; if it went out now, it would still get its head smashed, right? It wanted to kill without warning; even the boss didn't react.

The thief grew increasingly terrified. Just as he was at a loss, several villagers with tattered clothes stood before him.

"Um... is it possible to reconcile?"

Then, the sound of beating came from a corner, and the girl soon saw the villagers surrounding and beating the thief.

"Give our children back!"

"You damned thief! You dare to try and kidnap people?!"

"Kill him!"

"Kill him! Kill him!!"

Just then, a loud shout quelled the out-of-control villagers. Everyone turned around and saw an old man angrily walking towards them. The villagers then made way for the old man, who grabbed the thief's head with one hand, leaving the terrified thief dangling from the ground.

The size contrast is like that of a strong old ox and a little mouse.

"The fairy has something to ask him, so you mustn't kill him."

Although the old man was also so angry that his veins were bulging, he still suppressed his anger and dragged the thief to Lin Ming's side.

With a thud, the thief, his face bruised and swollen, fell in front of Lin Ming, startling the little girl who involuntarily took a few steps back.

"Sir, it's him! It's him and a gang of thieves who frequently come to our village to forcibly take people!" the villagers continued their accusations. "They've taken almost all the young and children, and now we don't know where they've been sold."

The villagers began to complain, wishing they could roast the thief alive on the spot, skewer him, and burn him. But with the elders present, they didn't dare to settle personal scores; they simply waited for Lin Ming to make a decision.

Hmm? Lin Ming thought for a moment, then instructed the girl to ask, "Where is your hideout?"

"I know, I can take you there. Please spare my life, Fairy!" The thief scrambled to the girl's feet, begging for mercy. But the girl was so frightened that she backed away, and the villagers grabbed the thief's feet, preventing him from going any further.

The thief's head was swollen like a pig's head; he must have been badly beaten.

But beneath his swollen, pig-like face, the thief was secretly gloating: "After luring you to our hideout, we'll have our boss kill you. Our boss is enjoying wine at the outpost today, and he's no ordinary thief. He used to be a nobleman in the kingdom, possessing extraordinary physical strength and a smattering of magic. Slimes like that, even earth fairies, would be torn in two by our boss."

Thinking about it, the thief couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

"No, this won't do," the old man said worriedly, leaning closer. "We absolutely cannot go back to this kind of person's lair. This is definitely a trap. I think we should set this thief up on the spot and burn him at the stake, and then we'll organize ourselves to ask the knights of the kingdom to eliminate these thieves."

Upon hearing this, the thief gasped in horror: Burning at the stake? No, no, no! He absolutely did not want to be burned at the stake!

However, the girl received a radio wave that confused her, but she still translated the words from Little Gollum as they came to her: "The fairy said... let him go back."

"What?!" The villagers were all shocked upon hearing this.

Lin Ming's decision shocked the villagers, who said they could not understand it.

If they let them go back, wouldn't their village be plundered again? That huge band of thieves is like a small mercenary group; their village can't withstand a second attack...

Especially now that there are signs of resistance, they won't let them off the hook this time; instead, they will massacre their village.

Lin Mingke didn't empathize with the villagers, because his thought from beginning to end was: the thief had cut off his tracking route, and now he had to continue on his way; his map was still waiting to be refreshed.

Then Little Gulu fired another missile, piercing through the thief's palm. The villagers were so frightened that they quickly loosened their grip, fearing they would be affected by Lin Ming.

The thief was screaming in pain.

The little girl then timidly relayed the message: "The fairy said... you can go back now."

Only then did the thief hold back his tears, suppressing all his resentment and pressing his hatred firmly into his chest, as he staggered towards his hideout.

Lin Ming felt a little better when he saw the red route redrawn on his mini-map.

Let him walk for a while first, then we'll chase after him later.

But when Lin Ming turned around, he saw the villagers' uneasy eyes and the atmosphere suddenly became extremely oppressive. Even the old man's previous arrogance had disappeared.

Do they want revenge? Lin Ming understands their feelings. But Lin Ming won't let these villagers' personal emotions disrupt his own rhythm.

The old man shouted, "Enough! This is the fairy's decision, and we villagers cannot stop her. We are already deeply grateful for her immense kindness and virtue, and we can never repay it. Disperse!"
