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

On the Slime Continent side.

On the vast grassland, Little White was as usual nestled in the net coffin, fast asleep, even cuddling the little sticky cube left by Lin Ming as a treasure while sleeping.

Outside, Lin Ming threw the nun, whose limbs were tightly bound, next to his net coffin, startling Xiao Bai.

Little White curiously crawled out, peeking out with half its head sticking out.

"Seriously, you just ran off and fell asleep in the woods. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by wild animals?" Lin Ming wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking to himself, "Is this nun out of her mind? She won't answer my questions, she's always eating or sleeping, and then she just wanders around aimlessly."

If Lin Ming hadn't discovered her in time and brought her back, she wouldn't even know how she died outside.

"Xiaobai, keep an eye on her, don't let her run around."

Little Whitey cackled twice, indicating its obedience. Then it climbed onto the nun's back and sat quietly on it.

"Hey Big Yellow, you too. Help keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn't run off. You're just killing time anyway, so give it a hand, okay?"

Lin Ming called out, and the queen bee lying in the field also raised her black rabbit ears, made two "maomao" sounds, and flew over.

This nun really can't be left in the village; if she runs out of the village, she'll be lost. It's easier to find her if she's left in this slime continent.

Looking at it now, the Queen Bee is already level 25, while Little White is already level 27.

Their leveling speed was actually quite good. Compared to the monsters of the Slime Continent, they were already at the same level as Lin Ming, considered to have left the village.

After all, there are almost no monsters that pose a significant threat in the Great Plains. The average level is below 10, and there are very few monsters above 10 but not exceeding 20. Only the high-speed birds outside the Slime Continent are around level 20.

Unfortunately, the nun knew nothing about what he was saying. She just ignored everything Lin Ming said and stood there blankly, lost in thought.

She seemed to have no language ability; even if she understood a little, she would just shake her head, seemingly troubled by not being able to remember anything.

From day one, she was actually quite naive and simple-minded. Lin Ming felt like he had taken in a silly, freeloading daughter.

Did she hit her head or something?

I was hoping to get some information about the Black Mud from her, but it seems I'll have to put that idea on hold for now. I'll at least keep her around for a while and see if she remembers anything.

What amnesiac fallen girl? Is this something a slime like him could encounter?

If Lin Ming were a healthy teenager encountering this kind of thing, he would be excited for two or three days and treat the other person like a treasure.

But now, Lin Ming has to go down into the mine. He needs to level up and grow in the small ruins. As the only slime here, he has a lot of family responsibilities to shoulder and is very busy.

He had just sent Simino back with a warning message yesterday, so he couldn't let his guard down, even though Lin Ming also wanted to take a break.

However, if he doesn't improve his combat strength, and if the village is surrounded and attacked again, he, as the last trump card, cannot be too weak.

And if he falls, who will take care of Slime Mom? And who will cure his poison?

Now, only Lin Ming can save himself, assist the village, and combat the pollution from Mother Slime.

Bella had almost finished discussing things with them. Lin Ming gave Bella three large bags of food and told her to take them back to the dwarves and bring their fellow countrymen over.

The white cake flower seed sprouted in just one day and grew extremely fast, which gave Bella great hope. She was overjoyed.

As a botanist, she had never seen such a remarkable growth rate before; she had only ever seen it in carnivorous plants and pest plants.

This alone was enough for Bella to completely trust Lin Ming and relocate the villagers there with peace of mind.

Lin Ming also desperately needs Bella's dwarf villagers.

The villagers in Linming have too few occupations; they are mostly farmers, with only Mirar remaining. There are too few able-bodied men.

Therefore, the options are quite limited, while the dwarves have a wider variety of professions, with many reportedly skilled in forging and woodworking.

If they could be brought to Lin Ming's village, it would be a great development for Lin Ming's side.

Therefore, all we have to do is wait for Bella to bring back good news.

Because of the contamination caused by the slime mother, he has to resume the ammunition research that was interrupted earlier.

Otherwise, given the level of the events they are facing, he doesn't think he can handle it with something like stones.

Because he was no longer dealing with mindless beasts and monsters, but with civilized forces, especially given the harsh words and warnings Lin Ming had given yesterday.

The gamble is on whether the other party will accept the warning, but what if they don't?

With the villagers' current strength, they almost always have to rely on Lin Ming to take action.

Lin Ming needs to quickly develop all the weapons.

Lin Ming left Miral in the village and called Little Fatty and Lanno over to go with him into the small laboratory in the ruins.

When Little Fatty and Lan Nuo arrived, they both crossed their arms and couldn't help but shiver.

The cave was eerily cool, filled with a chilling aura, and the occasional crawling of insects could be heard. Little Fatty, with his thick skin, was alright, but Lanno, who was terrified of insects, was already turning pale.

"Um... um, Fairy, are you hungry or something?" Little Fatty was also inexplicably paranoid and scared.

"What? You two think I brought you here just to eat you? Don't worry, I used to be human too, and I'm not interested in you. I called you here to help me as a miner."

"Ah... was the Fairy Lord a human before?" Upon hearing these words, Little Fatty and Lan Nuo immediately felt a sense of closeness.

"Of course, this is a secret between just the two of us. No one is allowed to tell anyone after this, understand?"

"Mmm-hmm-hmm-hmm!!" Little Fatty and Lanno nodded repeatedly, vowing to keep it a secret.

"Here, you two take these." Lin Ming tossed the safety helmets made from white crystal ore to Little Fatty and Lan Nuo, and had them put them on. Then he led them to the stone experimental table inside and taught them to identify the types of ore.

The task assigned to them this time was to mine large quantities of white crystal ore, and secondly, to blast red crystals.

In short, bring back whatever you find. Lin Ming had already explained the solutions for dangerous and unknown minerals to them, and then gave each of them a pickaxe, herding them into the small mine to continue their previous mining progress.

Watching the two miners start hammering away with all their might, Lin Ming finally had the time to continue scavenging for things in the underground ruins.

Last time, it seemed like he went up to the third floor. Lin Ming continued to move down.

With a "plop," a green slime ball fell into the dark ruins.

When Lin Ming returned, he turned on his night vision and discovered that the psychopeptide reptile had turned into a skeleton.

"No, has it already been dismembered?"

It was a bit of a pity, but Lin Ming didn't care. The monsters on the third floor were more numerous and diverse, so there shouldn't be any shortage of this giant species that was difficult to digest.

Although I'm quite envious of the other person's abilities.

Soon, Lin Ming used this grassy slime form to leap and bound through the ruins. He used his sharp, high-speed bird claws like cleavers, slashing a demonic insect to death with a single blow, tearing its body open and splattering green blood.

Inside the ruined insect nest, a green slime can be seen hopping around, beginning a major cleansing of this level.

One after another, the various crawling, attacking insects died, either smashed flat by Lin Ming's punch or torn apart by the bird's claws. The Cyclops's arm and bird's claws were simply the natural counter to these insect-type monsters.

The kills continued.

Lin Ming's level kept rising rapidly. The deeper he went into the ruins, the more powerful the monsters became, and the higher the experience points they provided.

First came the three-headed centipede-like demonic pests, then the petrifying reptiles, followed by the hanging spiders and the chameleon geckos. Lin Ming continuously recorded each monster's image into his mind, and its abilities were constantly being decomposed and renewed.

Lin Ming acquired over 30% of the new abilities, including [Chameleon], [Poison Gas], and [Petrifying Touch].
