"No, that's not what I meant."
Su Ye quickly corrected Lily's words.
"I thought you would ask for some reward in the form of money or items."
"But I didn't expect it to be a... somewhat childish request like 'sleep together at night'."
"So... no?"
"of course can."
Su Ye noticed a slight movement behind him.
It seemed that Lily moved closer, feeling his breath.
"Because Lily only feels safe when she is with her master."
The dwarf girl rested her forehead on Su Ye's back and began to whisper.
As if talking to himself, he revealed the reason why he applied for this kind of reward.
The specialty of the Soma clan is something called "sacred wine".
It is a fine wine brewed by the god of wine, Soma, and it is said that even gods can be intoxicated by it.
All members of the Soma clan were attracted by the divine wine and were crazy about making money, buying the divine wine or the expensive materials for brewing the divine wine.
Lily's parents are also members of the Soma clan. Not surprisingly, they are addicted to the magic wine to the point of obsession.
As for taking care of children, they have completely forgotten about it.
Since she was 3 years old, Lily has had to rely on begging to survive.
Not only that, the money earned from begging will be taken away by parents.
Finally one day, I don’t know whether it was a misfortune or a blessing in disguise.
Lily's parents, desperate for money, went to the underground city to try to make money.
As expected, he never came back from the dungeon.
Lily, who lost her parents at a young age, was bullied by her clan members. Even after becoming a supporter, she was still exploited by adventurers.
In despair and anger, Lily briefly escaped from her clan and was taken in by an elderly couple who worked in a flower shop.
However, after being discovered by members of the Soma clan, they smashed the flower shop and injured the old couple, forcing Lily to face them without shame and return to the clan.
In this harsh environment, Lily gradually developed a twisted personality that distrusted others and extremely hated adventurers.
After mastering the magic of transformation "Heat Ash Lady", she used this to steal adventurers' equipment and sell it.
Later, it gradually evolved to the point where he would deceive and betray his teammates adventuring together in the dungeon.
Watching the desperate adventurers from the dark, he uses their anger and despair to accomplish his "revenge".
Until... Lily met Su Ye, and unsurprisingly, she failed at his hands.
"Lily is very grateful to the master, because it is the master who gave Lily a new life."
Lily said very seriously.
"Well, I understand the reason..."
Su Ye was deeply moved, but still spoke.
"But why are you touching me with your hands?"
"Because, because..."
Lily was suddenly speechless, and even without looking you could tell that her face was red.
"Lily wants to help the master maintain the 'weapon'!"
Su Ye: ...
Weapon maintenance?!
It's just about enough to maintain his "holy sword" as a man.
"Where on earth did you learn this crap?"
Su Ye looked at the petite girl who had climbed onto his chest.
The size of the dwarf allowed Lily to lie on top of him like a doll.
This question made Lily's expression a little gloomy.
"The guys in the clan will do anything to make money."
"I have seen many children around my age being sold by their parents to prostitutes in the streets..."
That’s right, even in Orario, there is an industry like the Customs Street.
It is even a legal industry managed by the gods.
The origins of prostitutes are also varied.
There are fallen girls from Orario, as well as slaves and smuggled people abducted from other countries.
There are also Amazons who don't care much about such things and simply enjoy men.
Anyway, even though it’s a paradise for male adventurers... Su Ye still refuses to go to Fengqing Street.
"But, sooner or later, we have to go to Fengqing Street."
The image of a fox girl appeared in Su Ye’s mind.
"At least she hasn't been sold to Orario yet."
"We'll talk about it when we get here."
Realizing that Lily's actions were becoming more and more bold, Su Ye finally stopped her.
"That's all for today."
"Eh... why?"
Lily asked confused.
"Does the master dislike Lily?"
"Although Lily's figure is not good and she doesn't have the skills to serve, she will try her best..."
"It's not because of this. I'm going to challenge a very powerful enemy tomorrow."
Patting Lily's head, Su Ye explained in a kind tone.
"I'm sorry, Lily was too greedy."
"It's okay, it's human nature."
"Come back after the battle... um, help me maintain my weapons."
This sentence successfully made both of them laugh out loud.
If the craftsmen of Hephaestus's family found out that they compared weapon maintenance to that kind of thing, they would probably be furious on the spot.
The night passed quickly in the charming and warm atmosphere.
After waking up, Su Ye, feeling refreshed, began to prepare to challenge the Slime King.
Summoning "Slime King" requires consuming an item called "Slime Crown".
Of course, they will also spawn during the "Slime Rain" event.
However, if you want to actively challenge, you can only use props.
Making a "Slime Crown" requires 20 units of gel and a "Gold Crown".
The former is very easy to obtain, just kill some slimes.
The gold crown not only requires gold ingots, but also a "ruby" to make.
In Terraria, gems are similar to minerals in that they are randomly generated underground, but they are much rarer.
The rubies that Su Ye used to make the golden crown did not come from mining.
Instead, while exploring the underground jungle, he encountered a rare monster called the "Ruby Crawler".
This is a special enemy added by the "Calamitous" mod.
It will not attack actively, but will flee when hurt.
After being killed, gems of corresponding colors will be dropped, and there is a chance that a special accessory will be dropped.
Although the number of gems dropped by the Gem Crawlers is small, it is enough to make a Gold Crown.
After collecting all the materials to make the "Slime Crown", you still need to go to the Demon Altar to synthesize them.
These altars are most common in evil environments, but have a small chance of spawning in normal cavern layers.
When Su Ye explored for the first time, he discovered a demon altar, which was perfect as a place for synthesis.
“We should be fully prepared.”
Finally, I checked my equipment and the supplies in my inventory.
Su Ye found a place far away from the birth point to avoid accidentally hurting Lily, then took out the "Slime Crown" and used it directly!
At the moment of use, it seems as if the colors of the world have lost for a moment.
A line of familiar words quietly appeared in front of Su Ye.
[Slime King has awakened! ]
Chapter 26 This is my last wavy mouth
Attack, double jump, land, continue attacking, and repeat.
The battle with King Slime has lasted for nearly an hour.
Even Su Ye did not expect that the battle would last so long.
Puffing...
The giant slime in the distance suddenly froze in place and began to shrink.
Gel kept splashing out of the translucent blue gelatinous body like boiling hot oil.
This should have been a good opportunity to attack, but Su Ye didn't even look at it and kept changing his position.
The next moment, the Slime King who had disappeared out of thin air suddenly teleported to a position less than 5 meters away from Su Ye and suddenly expanded.
This unexpected attack was easily avoided by Su Ye, who already knew the enemy's attack methods.
But then, more than a dozen slimes of different shapes and types were summoned, jumping towards Su Ye and surrounding him.
There are not only the weakest ordinary slimes here.
There are also Jungle Spike Slime and Ice Spike Slime that can shoot spikes!
"Sixth summon, it looks like the boss' health is already very low!"
Seeing the increasing number of enemies, Su Ye was not surprised but happy.
Whenever King Slime's health drops to a certain level.
Only then will a special slime with high threat be summoned.
Otherwise, only normal slimes will be summoned.
According to Su Ye's speculation, the slime's remaining health should be less than 20%!
Victory is just around the corner.
"Get rid of these miscellaneous soldiers first."
Su Ye drank a bottle of magic potion and replenished his magic power.
Then he took out the super thermal ion cannon and raised his hand to fire a phase laser ball at it.
All I could hear was a hair-raising crackling sound in the air.
The phase laser ball exploded into a ball of high-temperature plasma the moment it touched the huge body of the Slime King.
Afterwards, Su Ye pulled the trigger repeatedly, continuously shooting out high-energy laser beams, exploding the low-health slimes one by one.
