The Alliance Gathering that was supposed to be held next week was postponed indefinitely due to some unforeseen circumstances …
The reason? The empty city streets are the reason. The streets that were filled with people are now empty and the only thing cruising around is the transparent Slime that is a meter long.
"AHHHH! Don't come over, I am only going out to buy vegetables!! "
Yet another innocent victim is born. When the surrounding Slime leave in satisfaction, a naked Beastman auntie carries a bamboo basket and runs madly. Her fats sway and her sweat falls like rain, making her look extremely greasy. Wherever she passes by, the sound of vomiting can be heard …
"This is the third time that female Beastman Hippopotamus is here. How is this an accident? This probably gave some people a chance to release the wild beast in their hearts."
Due to the sudden rampage of the creepy Slime group, Vance falls into a state of paralysis. These little things aren't hard to deal with. Although the Slimes have high resistance towards physical attacks, they have no resistance towards magic and Divine Arts. Thus, it isn't hard to deal with the experts of the underground world.
But …
"You might be able to deal with one, but can you deal with 10, 100, 1000? There is no end to these things! Furthermore, if you are careless and allow them to get close to you, your armor will be torn into pieces and your clothes will be eaten away. Not even your bones will be left. How much fighting power do you have if you are completely naked? "
Yes, no matter how strong you are, as long as you dare to wear clothes on the streets, it is guaranteed that you will be crushed by the Slimes in an instant and become clean. An Archmage sets up a wall of fire beside him and wraps himself in the high temperature of the flames. At the start, quite a number of Slimes were eliminated. However, 6 hours later, his magic power is depleted and he ends up becoming clean.
However, his attempt proves that these creatures are indeed brainless and their numbers are limitless. Fortunately, very quickly, their weakness is discovered. They are able to corrode cloth and take away metal but they are helpless against wooden materials. In fact, they even instinctively fear wood. As long as a wooden stick is placed around the doors, windows and water outlets, they will retreat. (This is the backdoor left behind by a certain Lich)
But this still didn't solve the problem. You can't wear a pile of wood on the street, can you? So, the whole city retreated in front of this tiny slime and fell into a strange paralysis. They had no interest in naked people, but not everyone could awaken a new self like Auntie Hippo.
The lives of the citizens were greatly inconvenienced, but at this moment, there was a group of enthusiastic and helpful youths pushing wooden carts and walking on the streets without any fear.
They helped people buy groceries, run errands, and accept bookkeeping services. They even called for volunteers to join their luggage.
"The natural body bestowed by the heavens is perfect, unnatural clothing is the original sin. What is wrong with liberating oneself — The Liberation of the Celestial Body took the opportunity to spread their teachings. (Now, those who join the organization have the privilege of buying wooden carts at a membership price. Each person is limited to one!)"
When more and more youngsters acknowledged the strange doctrine and saw the Sky Slime as a kind of heavenly punishment that targeted clothing, which was an unnatural creation, the Liberation of the Celestial Body with the Wild Bull Alliance as the core grew at a terrifying speed. Countless youngsters who chased after money, awakened a certain kind of potential or simply acknowledged this strange doctrine walked on the streets naked, fighting for the sake of their future gold coins or doctrine.
Of course, even so, the losses were not small. Before the weakness was discovered, the treasury and merchants who suffered from the calamity also suffered quite a bit. (A certain Lich: Why did you announce the weakness? Can't you reap more later? A certain Maid: Shut up, hurry up and find a way to cure the root of the problem. Isn't cleaning up your own mess your motto?)
But even so, the normal operations of Vance City were still severely affected. At the very least, the Alliance Conference that was postponed and the naked underground city lords were like countless smiling faces, mocking the dignity of the Underground Autarchs.
When the Autarchs' patience reached its limit, even the proposal to completely destroy the city and the underground network to rebuild the city was proposed, a sudden piece of news spread across the entire city, causing everyone to go wild with joy. According to the research of the leader of the Liberation of the Celestial Body, Big Druil, and the authoritative Old Doctor (Beast King Specialist), Beifeng.Herault, these Slimes only have a total lifespan of 10 days. Now, there is still 4-5 days before they wither away.
The entire city cheered excitedly but no one questioned why these 2 unknown newbies were able to come up with such a conclusion when even the top-notch Great Mage was helpless. But at this moment, the one who heaved a sigh of relief is probably the Lion King himself. The Alliance Conference was postponed so that we can share the responsibility together. If the auction is unable to be held as scheduled, the Devil's Contract might come into effect and he would be pulled into the River Styx, ending all his troubles.
"Oh, it can be done like this!"
I clapped my hands. Such a simple move could have killed the Lion King and I actually let it slip by accident.
"Actually, it isn't too late yet. Let me send the remaining 'Greed' down and it will …"
"Cause another 10 days of trouble?"
"No, turn into the complete body of 'Greed'. Its individual strength would increase by at least 10 times and its lifespan would be limitless. If this goes on forever, the Lion King would definitely not be able to hold the Alliance Conference."
"Rejected!! The underground world will also be destroyed because of this. " She was wrapped in a bikini made of two banana leaves, and her arms were wrapped around her chest, unable to cover her exposed body. As she spoke, she kept stomping her feet, and her little tail kept slapping the ground. It seemed that everything that had happened recently had made Elisa unusually irritable.
After the processed silk and fiber clothes can no longer be worn, rattan clothes and leaf clothes have become the most popular styles recently … What, I fell for it too? Is it foolish to step into my own trap?
"Heh, if the others step into the trap, but you don't, doesn't that mean that I'm the one who set the trap? Besides, my creations aren't that weak and weak. They won't let you go just because you're my people."
"This isn't something to be proud of!! Why are you the only one who still has clothes to wear! "
Yes, the current Sulfur Mountain City's envoy camp, due to the early onset of the calamity (It happened right after I fell), is the most severely affected. Now, there aren't many who have leaf clothes to wear here. I am the only one who still has a complete set of clothes to wear.
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie? The lie is that I am wearing a SemiGod equipment set, so they are unable to approach me at all. The truth …" (High-tier equipment is unable to corrode, but they won't stop attacking. Even though my entire body is sticky with Slime fluid, I am still unable to wear it.)
"The truth is that they remember that you are their father, so they won't attack you?"
"No, how can my creations have such a foolish flaw. Their attacks are based on instinct, so they are indiscriminate. Look, this is a sprayer made from wood powder mixed with liquid. As long as it sprays on your body, they, who are instinctively afraid of wood, will definitely not approach you … Hey hey, I am sorry that I forgot to give it to you, but we are all civilized people here, so don't be violent!! Put down that table leg! "
Alright, under the threat of violence, I admit that I didn't forget to give it to her, it was just for eye candy. However, it is a pity that if I confess, I will be sent to jail for life. But if I admit it honestly, it will bring about Eliza's wrath. Next, it is time for the long-awaited wrestling exchange …
After a while, the panting Eliza sits on my spine and asks me, who is already lying on the ground.
"Have you researched the method to eradicate it?"
"I researched it, I researched it! It's so awkward, my old bones are about to break!! "
"Then why aren't you doing it! Could it be that your heart has softened? "
"Gathering the ingredients and setting it up will take at least a week! This time, I swear on the River Styx that I am not lying. "
The antidote will take a week — — 5 days later, the Slime Calamity would automatically end — — Yet, she did useless work, forcing her master to research the antidote. This series of equations forms in her mind. Then, the young lady flies into a rage out of humiliation!
"Kacha!" This is the crisp sound of my thigh bone breaking and Eliza's rationality snapping. That day, I witnessed the terrifying physical strength of a half-demon paired with a Holy Pugilist.
…
I am not foolish enough to leave the main body of 'Greed' in the camp. That is equivalent to someone chasing after the stolen goods. The main body is placed in the deepest part of the underground network. Its countless children are its best guards.
But unexpectedly, there is an additional volunteer guard.
When the first gold coin was brought back to the main body by the Slime, the first one to look for me is actually Little Red … After she understood the ins and outs of the matter, she took the initiative to request to be the guard of the treasure vault. The reason is …
"I am used to sleeping on the treasures. I have been suffering from insomnia for so many days, it is about time for me to have a good sleep."
Alright, I know that it is an excuse. Going by our unspoken rules, since both of us contributed, it is inevitable for us to split the loot. However, with her guarding the main body, I am at ease.
At the very least, if we really meet with a tough opponent, Little Red's speed of escaping with the money is still trustworthy.
Now, the only thing I need to worry about is the problem of disposing of the stolen goods. However, in the underground world, this is probably the least of my worries.
Alright, the past has been settled. What I need to face now is the Alliance Conference. When the Slime army starts to wither and die as expected, just as everyone heaves a sigh of relief, the Underground Autarchs impatiently send out invitations for the Alliance Conference.
'A gathering of primitive humans', 'Do the underground city lords know how to dance the hula dance?'
Just when the streets and alleys were already in a heated discussion, the formal attire that was sent along with the invitations made those unlucky underground city lords feel thankful for the thoughtfulness of the organization. At the same time, at the same time, they heaved a sigh of relief. Clothes that can still be worn in the market are already sold at sky-high prices. It isn't easy to buy them.
However, at this moment, the most sought-after item on the market isn't the lack of clothes but the learning materials for the Power of Law.
"Are you still worried about the invaders and the Magical Beasts that are constantly harassing you? Here is the nemesis of the lawless, a senior of the Holy Light. Even the Undead, Monkeys and Half-Demons are able to grasp the new era's Power of Law — Power of Law! "
"It isn't 3-4 thousand, not 1-2 thousand, it is really just 998. The workmanship of the Eight Stars Eight Arrows, 99 main functions, the ability to communicate with the Origin of Order doesn't need money, the ability to control Law Incantations doesn't need money and it can really shine!! Don't hesitate anymore, come to the Sulfur Mountain City Envoy Camp to place your order!! "
"Also, the first 100 who buy it will receive a second chance at the Lottery. The pages of the God Equipment Grimoire will be sent to your home."
"Hehe, do you know how to judge? ‘judgemen！’ 'Mom doesn't need to worry about me failing my Law Incantations anymore. Grandma, my dream of becoming a Holy Knight has come true.' "
"The Power of Law is trustworthy. In order to make it easier for our customers to grasp and learn it, other than the basic pack of 998, we have also prepared 9998 Deluxe Edition for the noble and stylish you. Of course, if you still think that this isn't enough to represent your cool status, we also have 19998 Perfect Deluxe Edition. Along with it, we will also give you a Lottery Card to participate in the second Lottery of the God Equipment Grimoire!"
"What are you hesitating for? Our address is at Vance 32nd District, Tauren Street 88. First come first serve. You are welcome to buy it!!"
After earning a fortune from me, I am looking forward to the upcoming Alliance Conference and auction.
"Master, didn't you only bring a few hundred copies of the same information? Those Deluxe Edition and Perfect Deluxe Edition … "
"They are all the same, exactly the same."
"Aren't you afraid that they will settle the score with you?"
"Hehe, Eliza, you are still too inexperienced. You have to study the shopping mentality of those underground city lords. Those who are willing to fork out 998 diamonds to buy information wouldn't mind paying another 998. 'What, you think that 998 is gold and not diamonds? Guards, chase this country bumpkin out. 'The moment these words are said, no matter how expensive it is, those spendthrifts who love their face will buy it. Do you know what is called an Overlord and an ambitious person? An Overlord is a big shot, the boss. No matter what they buy, they will buy the most expensive and not the best! What they want is their face. Look, those 4 Overlords bought the Perfect Deluxe Edition. If others were to find out that they bought the normal Deluxe Edition, they wouldn't be able to afford it. So, our sales slogan is not to ask for the best but to ask for the most expensive. Once a deal is made, we won't have to open for 10 years. "
"You are really crafty."
"Thank you for your compliment."
