Chapter 10

Determined, Chen Bing immediately took action.

Record the time origin!

[Home Assistant: Use 'Home Building Upgrade Scroll I'!]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory begins upgrading!]

[Home Assistant: This upgrade will be completed when the player clears one game from now, or it can be instantly completed by consuming 5 game clear counts!]

...

"Trapped! The upgrade isn't instant!"

This was Chen Bing's first time upgrading a home building, and the result was a bit different from what he had imagined.

After confirming the upgrade of the Slime Factory, the upgrade wasn't instantly completed but required him to complete a game.

Going to clear a game now was definitely too late, but fortunately, he could instantly complete the upgrade by consuming 5 game clear counts.

Although Chen Bing's previous games were all prematurely ended, they still counted as game clears, and he had exactly 5 game clear counts.

From this, it was clear that game clear counts were undoubtedly a form of asset, and a very important one at that.

'Magic World: Basic Edition' was the last beginner game. With a total of 5 beginner game clear counts, it was just enough to instantly complete one building upgrade.

Such a coincidence made Chen Bing feel like it was a trap, deliberately set for new players.

But even if it was a trap, Chen Bing had to step into it now!

"Consume clear counts!"

Without hesitation, Chen Bing chose to consume his only 5 game clear counts.

[Home Assistant: Level 2 Slime Factory upgrade complete!]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory population increased to 8]

[Home Assistant: Obtained 3 Slime Eggs]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory enhanced, worker efficiency increased by 20%!]

[Home Assistant: Player HP increased by 2%]

...

A rumbling sound echoed, and the Slime Factory, which originally looked like a greenhouse, instantly transformed into a stone building, with the building area nearly doubling.

Slime Factory upgrade complete!

Chen Bing quickly glanced at the system prompts.

The factory population increased to 8, and he obtained 3 Slime Eggs. These were the fixed rewards for upgrading the Slime Factory to level 2.

The 2% increase in player HP was a random attribute enhancement.

The 20% increase in worker efficiency was a random upgrade effect from the Slime Factory upgrade.

"Time Rewind!"

It wasn't the Slime Fusion function Chen Bing wanted, so he didn't waste time and immediately performed a time rewind.

The upgrade process was a bit different from what he had expected, taking a few more seconds. A slight hesitation would make the time exceed 10 seconds, which would be disastrous for him.

The scenery before him changed, and the stone building of the Slime Factory reverted to its greenhouse appearance. The Home Building Upgrade Scroll returned to Chen Bing's backpack, and his game clear counts were reset to 5/5.

Let's try again!

[Home Assistant: Use 'Home Building Upgrade Scroll I'!]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory begins upgrading!]

[Home Assistant: Consume 5 game clear counts!]

[Home Assistant: Level 2 Slime Factory upgrade complete!]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory population increased to 8]

[Home Assistant: Obtained 3 Slime Eggs]

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory enhanced, hatched Slime workers' planting level increased!]

[Home Assistant: Player defense increased by 2%]

...

With the experience from the first attempt, Chen Bing completed the second try smoothly.

"Enhanced Slime workers' planting skills, this is good. Once it reaches level 2, the Slime workers' planting skills will be advanced, allowing them to plant Sunflower seeds."

The second upgrade enhanced the Slime workers' planting skills.

Chen Bing had Sunflower seeds, which required advanced planting skills to plant.

The enhancement of Slime workers' planting skills was a good choice for Chen Bing, but unfortunately, he needed the Slime Fusion function, so he had to regretfully time rewind and try again.

...

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory enhanced, Slime worker population cap increased by 25%!]

...

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory enhanced, 'Slime Processing' function activated, Slime workers can now process items!]

...

[Home Assistant: Slime Factory enhanced, 'Slime Fusion' function activated, Slime workers or pets can now fuse within the factory!]

[Home Assistant: Pet slot limit +1]

[Home Assistant: Player strength attribute increased by 2%]

...

"Success!"

Chen Bing used the time rewind ability continuously, and on the fifth attempt, the 'Slime Fusion' function was successfully activated.

The Slime Factory population cap increased to 8, and he obtained 3 additional Slime Eggs. The pet slot limit increased by 1, and Chen Bing's strength attribute also increased by 2%.

The appearance of the Slime Factory changed significantly, with a dedicated area for Slime fusion added inside the stone building.

Chen Bing walked in and immediately saw two cylindrical glass containers.

One was large, and the other was small, connected by cables inscribed with magical runes.

The larger one was the main container, and the smaller one was the auxiliary container for fusion materials.

Chen Bing currently had only one Hero Slime pet, so he needed to hatch a secondary pet to fuse.

Upgrading the Slime Factory took Chen Bing just over a minute, and he still had nearly thirty minutes of infinite energy left. In terms of time, Chen Bing could easily hatch a Slime with equally excellent attributes and then fuse it.

However, Chen Bing didn't plan to hatch an extremely high-quality Slime pet as fusion material.

That would take too much time and rely too much on luck.

Just one successful fusion would only provide a limited boost to the Hero Slime, so Chen Bing intended to make the Hero Slime fuse multiple times within the remaining thirty minutes.

Each successful fusion would enhance one to several attributes of the Hero Slime and might grant it the skills of the secondary pet.

Using time rewind, Chen Bing could ensure that the Hero Slime would successfully obtain the skills of the secondary pet each time!

The Hero Slime's skills were already good, and if it gained a few more skills from other Slimes, even if only at the first stage, it would become a truly excellent pet.

Not to mention, the fusion process might result in a mutation, turning the Hero Slime into a legendary super-excellent pet!

Chen Bing began hatching Slime pets again. With his previous experience, his actions were even more proficient this time.

...

[Home Assistant: Congratulations! Obtained pet 'Warrior Slime'!]

...

[Home Assistant: Congratulations! Obtained pet 'Knight Slime'!]

...

[Home Assistant: Congratulations! Obtained pet 'Assassin Slime'!]

...

[Home Assistant: Congratulations! Obtained pet 'Priest Slime'!]

...

[Home Assistant: Congratulations! Obtained pet 'Vampire Slime'!]

[Pet: Vampire Slime]

[Quality: 1st Stage, Silver]

[Level: 1]

[HP: 20]

[Physical Defense: 0]

[Magic Defense: 3]

[Attack: 3-7]

[Skill: Vampire Aura (Slime)]

[Vampire Aura (Slime): A vampiric aura that only affects the Slime race. 10% of the damage dealt by Slime companions within a 5-yard range will be converted into their own HP. The aura range increases with the Slime's level.]

...

"Vampire Slime!"

Perhaps Chen Bing's luck had run out from the previous hatches, and this time his luck wasn't very good. It took him nearly five minutes to hatch a Vampire Slime.

Under normal circumstances, a Silver-quality Vampire Slime wouldn't catch Chen Bing's attention.

Although the Vampire Slime had a Vampire Aura, this aura only affected Slimes, and the 10% vampiric effect was too weak to make a significant difference in combat.

But the Vampire Aura would be different when used on the Hero Slime.

Chen Bing's Hero Slime was Platinum quality, with attributes far superior to those of ordinary Slimes. The Hero Slime was also skilled in defense, and adding a Vampire Aura would significantly increase its combat ability and duration.

One of Chen Bing's plans was to give the Hero Slime a healing skill. Among the Slime pets, those that could provide healing were the Priest Slime, Angel Slime, Athena Slime, and Vampire Slime.

The Priest Slime and Angel Slime could heal the player, but their healing ability was relatively weak. The Athena Slime was good, but it was too reliant on luck, and even with the time rewind skill, Chen Bing wasn't confident he could hatch one in the remaining time.

In comparison, the Vampire Slime was a good choice.

Even though it was only Silver quality, it was sufficient.

[Home Assistant: Please place the Slime you want to enhance in the main container and the Slime to be used as fusion material in the auxiliary container. Warning: Fusion is irreversible. Regardless of success or failure, the Slime in the auxiliary container will disappear!]

Chen Bing chose to initiate the Slime Fusion, and a serious warning from the system echoed in his ears.

There was no hesitation. Chen Bing placed the Hero Slime in the main container and the Vampire Slime in the auxiliary container.

Both Slimes stood in their containers, completely unaware of what was happening.

[Home Assistant: Do you confirm using 'Vampire Slime' as fusion material to enhance 'Hero Slime'?]

"Confirm!"

Using the time rewind skill to record the time origin, Chen Bing immediately confirmed.

The moment he confirmed, a bright blue light flashed before his eyes.

A bright blue light appeared in both containers.

The Vampire Slime's body quickly disappeared in the blue light, while the Hero Slime's body continuously absorbed the blue light.

[Home Assistant: Fusion failed!]

[Home Assistant: Vampire Slime disappeared, Hero Slime fusion count +1!]

"Damn! You tricked me, I thought it was going to succeed!"

Seeing the blue light, Chen Bing thought the first fusion was going to succeed, but the result was a system prompt indicating a fusion failure.
