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

"You should go eat too, don't go hungry."

Even as Lin Ming lay in the girl's arms, he could hear her rumbling stomach growling with hunger.

It seems this village is not just abandoned, but a completely desolate village barely clinging to life.

Although he saw fields, the surrounding polluted environment made it seem impossible to grow any food.

Lin Ming was still thinking about planting healing herbs and developing his own medicine, but at first glance, this place was not as good as his net coffin.

This was the first time Lin Ming had ever seen such a grayish-black material with blood-like cracks. It was as hard as cement. What kind of thing was this?

And it's the same kind of thing that pollutes Slime Mom.

Lin Ming spat out the jerky he had specially prepared for Xiaobai, and slapped it onto the little girl's head, letting her catch it and eat it.

"Oh, thank you, Fairy." The girl swallowed it greedily, as it was the most delicious thing she had ever eaten besides wood bark.

He then jumped out of the girl's arms, leaving her with a regretful expression.

Lin Ming continued rummaging through his resource cart.

He remembered finding magic potions, but he had always treated them as junk.

Even his early bottle of magic potion is nowhere to be found; it seems he threw it away at the bottom of the river when he felt it was too heavy.

The resources in the thieves' hideout were quite varied, and Lin Ming didn't even recognize some of the items.

However, he still managed to find three bottles of magic potions inside, but the magic potions were of poor quality.

After thinking about it, I realized that almost no one in the band of thieves knew how to use magic, and the only leader used contract magic.

It was a convenient spell granted by other magicians. Thinking about it that way, it's understandable that they didn't have many magic potions due to such low magic power requirements.

Therefore, the three bottles of magic potions are a pity, as they are of a poor quality, just like the poor healing potions that Lin Ming used before.

But at least it can make up for something.

Thinking it over, Lin Ming threw the bottle into his body and absorbed 20% of the magic power.

The Slime Cannon can now fire four shots.

But he still hoped to drag out the green crystal block he had stuffed in the sack.

It was a very large piece, even larger than Little Gulu himself.

With a "clang," the crystal block was dragged to the ground by Lin Ming, making a melodious wind chime sound mixed with the girl's voice.

The wind spirit inside approached the crystal again, peeking out her large, emerald-green eyes before withdrawing them again.

How am I supposed to use this wind spirit? Lin Ming stared at the translucent green crystal, which even reflected his own face.

No matter how many times he looks at it, Little Gulu's face is just so stupid. Lin Ming tilted his head and then tried to lie on the green crystal to melt and spread it, enveloping the entire green crystal and trying to break it down.

However, decomposing minerals was a very difficult task for Lin Ming at this stage, and his size was too small to cover the entire green crystal, so Lin Ming quickly gave up.

At that moment, a voice called out to Lin Ming.

"My lady, fairy crystals are not edible, and please don't treat them so rudely."

Lin Ming turned around and saw a wandering merchant dressed in a black robe with a hat that covered his ears like cat ears, offering his advice.

It was the homeless businessman they had rescued earlier.

"Um?"

"My lady, the wind spirit needs your kindness. If it chooses you, it will come out on its own. But most of them have very high demands."

The wind spirit Fusia is one of the relics from the Wind Warrior, and those chosen by her can only be beings similar to the Wind Warrior.

At first glance, it seems like Lin Ming saved a brick?

"Huh? Then there's no chance? And I hate heroes the most." As soon as Lin Ming heard the word "hero," he thought of the face of a certain self-proclaimed good friend.

He became like this because of him; when we go back to fight, we'll definitely hang his head under the bridge as a lantern. And that dog-shit kingdom is the same.

"Fairy, you hold a grudge against the hero. May I ask why?" the wandering merchant asked.

"Huh? Can you understand me?"

"I know a little bit of fairy language; in fact, I've been communicating with you in fairy language from the very beginning."

"Oh, that makes things much more convenient!" Lin Ming immediately perked up.

He jumped onto the sacks on the cart, landing at the same height as the wandering merchant, and then stretched out his slimy little hand: "Nice to meet you." He wanted to shake hands with the wandering merchant.

The wandering merchant took a moment to react, and quickly grasped the little gooey's slimy hand:

"Yes, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect you to know these things, Fairy." The wandering merchant was quite surprised, and also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Strange, how could a slime know human etiquette?

"Let's not talk about how I hold a grudge against the hero," Lin Ming said, immediately interjecting, "Do you know anything about Fragrant Toxin?"

"Fragrance Poison?" The wandering merchant tilted his head and stroked his chin. "I remember it. It's a toxin that causes the body to decay and rot over seven days. At first, it only paralyzes the limbs, but once the toxin has completely invaded the whole body, it causes complete brain death, and finally the corpse is broken into many pieces. It's a rather vicious toxin."

"Wow, is it that scary?" After hearing this explanation, Lin Ming realized how lucky he was to have survived for so many days.

"Why is the fairy asking this...?"

"I desperately need this antidote! I'm going to die from poisoning!" Lin Ming immediately approached the homeless merchant, his small body twisting into a long S-shape overnight.

The wandering merchant was startled and took a step back, but still smiled wryly and said, "I'll sell some information and intelligence for now. Although most of my assets have been stolen by thieves, information is still the most valuable thing on the market."

The wandering merchant searched his body, then pulled open his robe to reveal the smooth joints of the doll underneath.

Inside the robe were information books written in various languages.

"Aren't you human?" Lin Ming asked curiously.

"To be precise, you can call me the Wandering Witch Merchant Guild."

A witch? The kind of heretic who gets roasted? Lin Ming tilted his head.

"When wandering merchants travel, they encounter thieves most often—dangerous creatures who kidnap people and steal their belongings. Therefore, when we witches do business, we usually make multiple magical dolls to conduct trade all over the world."

Besides, she's a girl, how could she go out on her own?

"Of course, in order to repay the Fairy Lady for saving my precious doll's life and for the information about the Fragrant Toxin, I do not intend to accept any reward."

The wandering merchant rummaged through her small notebooks, and finally, a round, red-eyed woman under the hood lit up and pulled out a small notebook covered with various flowers.

"There is a country that makes a living by selling herbs, and its international trade is renowned for its vast herbal resources. If it is this Fragrant Kingdom, I think you, Fairy, can obtain the antidote you desire."

As he spoke, the wandering merchant handed the notebook to Lin Ming.

Lin Ming stretched out his two slimy little hands to take it, then flipped it over. It was covered in familiar human writing, the kind that was purely handwritten.

"How far is the Kingdom of Xiangfang from here? By the way, how far is it from the Kingdom of Prester?" Lin Ming originally planned to rely on the villagers to sort things out today, but now that there was this information broker, he decided to seize this source of information.

"The Kingdom of Prester? That's very far away." The wandering merchant asked, puzzled. "Why are you asking about that?"

"My enemies are over there, you know?"

"Oh, I see, I see. But the Kingdom of Prester is currently the most powerful of all kingdoms. Fairy, aren't you worried that this might be a bit difficult?"

"Difficulties? No problem. A gentleman's revenge is never too late. Let's get rid of the poison first. Once I'm cured, I'll dig up their ancestral graves." Lin Ming cursed, which made the homeless merchant in front of him smile wryly.

Why does this slime, which looks so cute on the surface, speak with such a heavy sense of resentment? Is it not a local slime? It speaks with such ease how to hold a grudge.

"Since you're a wandering merchant, do you sell any rare resources? Like super-powerful healing potions or something?" Lin Ming asked curiously, poking his slimy little hand.

"Well? I feel helpless about this too." The wandering merchant shrugged. "After I was caught by these hateful thieves, they ripped me off completely."

If this information hadn't been encrypted with ancient texts, they probably would have stolen it all. Therefore, all the resources you found in the thieves' den, Fairy, likely originated from me. Of course, in gratitude for saving your life, all these things belong to you, Fairy.

The wandering merchant wisely refrained from demanding her resources back, and didn't give Lin Ming the impression of being a shrewd businessman.

"You know a lot, especially the fairy language. Do you know what's going on in this village?" Lin Ming turned to the other side of the village. The pollution had even caused most of the thatched houses to collapse. Looking out, you could also see a very small, corrupt church.

The soil in the fields looked more like piles of coal, with not a single green plant in sight, not a blade of grass growing.

"This corrosion has been going on for a long time, and no one knows where it originated. Everyone says it's the world's punishment for us. It's also a disaster that has been appearing in the kingdom and various countries in recent years, and they are resisting it everywhere."

This phenomenon can cause people who live there for too long to develop black erosion disease, and in severe cases, they can become black erosion zombies.

This is also why many monsters have become increasingly ferocious, turning into a highly unstable and dangerous variable in this world.

"Walking corpses?" Lin Ming stroked his chin, thinking about everything that had happened before. The corrupted wolves and corrupted high-speed birds were all products of this. After Lin Ming left the territory of his slime mother, it was very easy to see them.

"So... Fairy, are you going to save this world?" the wandering merchant asked curiously.

After all, this little guy's intelligence was several times higher than she had imagined, as if he were an intelligent life form, which was very different from the slime that usually just hopped around.

"You're asking me? I'm just a slime. You're asking me about a world-class crisis? Right now, all I want to do is find fragrant antidotes and healing herbs, and then wipe out that beastly kingdom."

Uh…surprisingly, it’s quite insignificant? The wandering merchant was taken aback. He thought the little goblin’s answer would be more solemn? Did he not expect it to be holding a grudge?

"So, which direction is the Fragrant Kingdom in?" Lin Ming asked, his eyes sparkling.

"The Kingdom of Xiangfang is actually the closest country to you."

"Really?" Lin Ming's eyes shone even brighter, so bright that the wandering merchant blushed slightly, wanting to reach out and touch them.

Lin Ming thought for a moment, then used his small hands to pinch a tiny slime dot and flicked it onto the wandering merchant.

"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"

The wandering merchant sensed a strange language transmission; it seemed not to be a sound spoken by Little Gulu himself, but rather radio waves.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that such a small fairy could have already learned such advanced abilities?" the wandering merchant exclaimed in surprise.

"That's good." So Lin Ming poked out a tiny piece of slime and flicked it at the old man who was distributing food.

"Hey, old man, can you hear me?"

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately put down the food distribution he was holding, letting his granddaughter take his place. Then, he staggered and quickly knelt down in front of Lin Ming:

"My Lady Fairy, what brings you here? I heard your divine voice!" The old man's hands trembled with excitement, as if he had been summoned to become a hero.

"Why are you so agitated?" Lin Ming pointed at the old man: "You, take a few people with you, let's go to the Kingdom of Xiangfang."
