Chapter 412 Swallowing Slime

As per convention, Li Cunxu asked the little white spider to name the new slime clan, so that it could intervene in the fate of the new slime clan and earn destiny points based on the way it named the clan.

The little white spider pondered, "They all possess the [Big Eater] talent, so they're called Big Eater Slime?"

The slime showed great resistance and shook its head frantically.

The little white spider thought of another one.

"How about eating slime?"

"Puji~ (Not domineering enough.)"

The slime shook its head again. It was mutated from an intelligent slime. After the mutation, its IQ increased again, and it had some ideas about the name of its future race.

The little white spider said, "If you want to be domineering, how about swallowing the slime?"

The Devouring Slime's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Puji~ Puji~ (This is good, domineering and nice, this is it.)"

The name of the Slime Devourer reminded Li Cunxu of a player in his previous life's game who created the very famous "Slime Devourer" (mentioned in Chapter 7).

The Devouring Slime in the previous life's game also had the talent of a glutton (purple).

"A slime with the gift of a glutton has been called 'Slime Devourer' in both of its lives. Is it a coincidence, or was it destined to be called this name?"

Li Cunxu muttered to himself in a voice that no one else could hear.

After observing the Devouring Slime for a while, Li Cunxu discovered that this Devouring Slime was different from the 'Devouring Slime' in his previous life.

In the previous life, the 'Slime Devourer' was no different from an ordinary slime except for its extra appetite and strong fighting ability.

This slime-devouring creature is also very gluttonous and has strong combat capabilities. In addition, it has one more disadvantage and one more advantage.

Disadvantages: When in a hungry state, the Swallowing Slime's IQ will decrease. When it is hungry to a certain extent, the Swallowing Slime will enter an 'extremely hungry state' and go berserk. It will unconsciously eat everything edible around it, including soil.

Advantages: Being in a full state for a long time, the IQ of the slimes swallowed will slowly and permanently increase.

Compared with the advantages, the disadvantages can be ignored.

An increase in IQ can lead to a slight improvement in comprehension, and the higher the comprehension, the greater the probability of understanding the laws.

In other words, there is a slight possibility of breaking through to the King level by Devouring Slime.

Li Cunxu looked at the IQ test paper and said happily.

"This slime-devouring creature will accomplish great things in the future!"

"Master, don't be too happy yet. We can't afford to feed the Devouring Slime."

The little white spider poured a basin of cold water.

"Slime Devourers have huge appetites and are known for their voracious appetites. We can afford to support one or two, but once the number reaches a thousand or ten thousand, even a fertile land with endless resources will be stretched to the limit in the face of their insatiable appetites.

Especially as the slime devourer's strength increases, its appetite will grow even bigger, and in the end, it might even eat up the entire island of abundance."

Li Cunxu stretched out his big hand and gently rubbed the little white spider's head.

"Don't push yourself too hard. Put aside the research on mechanical weapons and the comprehension of destiny skills. Occasionally go online, watch short videos, and relax." The little white spider was super smart and immediately realized what Li Cunxu was hinting at. There was a way to solve the problem of eating too much slime on the Internet.

"Master, I have my own ideas about combining work and rest. You'd better tell me how to deal with the slime-eating problem and stop keeping me in suspense."

"We really can't afford to raise the Devouring Slime, but we can let others raise it for us, and we can even make a profit."

The little white spider instantly understood what Li Cunxu meant.

Selling the Devouring Slime to other Beast Tamers' contracts not only saves your own expenses, but also allows the Devouring Slime to have a good future and make a fortune by the way, killing three birds with one stone.

"But what does this have to do with the Internet?"

"Didn't I win the Overlord Contest a while ago through Xiaoruan? That led to a lot of impulsive young men making contracts with slimes."

Little White Spider asked in confusion, "After the match, Master-chan, didn't you immediately film a warning video telling people not to contract slimes? And didn't the league also enact laws restricting slime contracts? Why are there still people contracting slimes? And so many of them?"

Li Cunxu sighed, "Some greedy video bloggers, in order to attract traffic and make money, deliberately contracted a slime, and then made fake videos through acting, video editing, and AI generation. In the videos, they forged the slime that the blogger contracted and made it look powerful.

He coaxed the young boys and girls by saying that he had a tutorial similar to Li Cunxu's on how to 'make slime extra powerful'.

You only need a few Alliance coins to buy it from the blogger..."

Little White Spider said, "Then someone believed it, bought the so-called tutorial, and then contracted with the slime."

Li Cunxu said sadly, "Yes! Some people believed it, and quite a few did. Before the incident was exposed, those bloggers all ran away with the money, leaving no one to take the blame. The parents of those young boys and girls who were deceived by the contract slimes and whose contracts were wasted had no way to vent their anger, so they could only point the finger at me, the culprit who induced the contract slimes.

This incident has caused quite a stir online. If it continues, I suspect the league will have to remove the video of this year's Domination Tournament to minimize the impact."

Little White Spider asked, "Did all those bloggers run away? Not a single one of them was caught?"

"No."

"Master, this is clearly a conspiracy against you to ruin your reputation."

"Yeah, I can see it too."

Li Cunxu felt somewhat helpless. The other party's move was very clever. It ruined Li Cunxu's reputation, but Li Cunxu had no way to deal with them.

Fortunately, Li Cunxu was not a person who cared particularly about reputation.

Who is the mastermind behind this conspiracy?

It could be Li Shiji’s enemy, it could be the Four Evil Gods… They all have motives, it’s all possible.

Li Cunxu had no intention of finding out who was behind the incident.

The key to identifying the masterminds lies in the bloggers who are behind the incidents. Investigating where those bloggers have fled is not only time-consuming and laborious, but after all the hassles, there's a chance that by the end of the investigation, those bloggers have already been murdered by the masterminds.

Li Cunxu's idea was very simple. Since he didn't know who was the mastermind behind the scenes, he would just assume that they were all involved. When he grew up, he would beat them all up. Anyway, they were all bad guys.

"Slime Devourer and the online public opinion condemning you?" The little white spider pondered. "I understand. Since it's impossible to stop people from making contracts with slimes, we should actively guide people to make contracts with slime devourers. This way, we can get rid of the influence of public opinion that damages our reputation and use it to promote the name of slime devourer."

Some people, because they admire Xiaoruan's strength, want a pet as powerful as Slime, so they impulsively and blindly contract with Slime. But afterwards, they feel that Slime does not meet their expectations and regret wasting a contract position. They will blame Li Cunxu and say that he misled them.
