Chapter 28: How to Thicken the Thin Slime?

"Gaba gaba!!"

"Gaba gaba!!"

The goblins that lost their fighting ability were shrieking ferociously.

"Chirp?"

"Chomp chomp!"

"Chirp!"

"What is it?"

Because she did not understand what the white ant was saying, the goblin’s strange goat eyes were filled with confusion.

Lin Yu also felt a little bored.

So instead of making random noises, she leaned forward and bit each of the goblins one by one until they were dead.

The goblins’ health points dropped to zero, and the once large creature withered away.

/Experience points gained, conditions met, level up.

Level LV.5 increased to LV.6, all values restored.

Choose one of three gifts: ① Health Limit +10, Magic Limit +5 ② Agility +1, Intelligence +1 ③ Intelligence +1, Physical Resistance +1

Chose the third gift option.

After leveling up, Lin Yu focused on a few weak ants waiting outside the cave.

Inside the cave, the other weak ants were tearing pieces of meat from the bear’s corpse and carrying them into the ant nest.

Everything was happening in an orderly way.

As time passed.

The young weak ants and young worker ants in the nest had fully grown. The weak ants’ health value increased to 8 points, but the worker ants’ health value was lower at only 5 points.

The two newly born D Qualification weak ants’ health value also increased to 10 points, while the two newly born D Qualification worker ants increased to 8 points.

After they grew up completely, Lin Yu allowed them to continue eating meat to level up.

By the time they were full, each Weak Ant and Worker Ant had reached Level 3, and they all increased their Health Value.

The Health Value of the 70 newborn Weak Ants: 28/28

The Health Value of the 70 newborn Worker Ants: 25/25

After they were all full, Lin Yu let these newborn Weak Ants join in the large group to carry meat, while the 70 Worker Ants were ordered to start digging tunnels inside the ant nest.

The tunnels could be dug in all directions or downward into the deeper parts of the nest.

If they dug down, it would take more time to carry the dirt outside.

So, Lin Yu had the Worker Ants dig tunnels in the four directions of the current room, and after digging a small tunnel, they began to expand the room.

After receiving the command, the 70 Worker Ants automatically split into four groups and started digging in four directions.

Lin Yu spent some time watching the Worker Ants at their work.

…

Their jaws were smaller than those of the Weak Ants, but they were thicker, which made them better at digging.

Besides that, Lin Yu noticed that they released a clear sticky liquid when they dug, which held the loose soil together into lumps that could be easily carried away by other Worker Ants.

The speed at which they moved the soil lumps was very fast, even quicker than the Weak Ants bringing in meat, like they had been doing this job for a long time.

They expanded the ant nest more steadily and quickly than the Weak Ants did before.

Lin Yu found that she liked them.

You are all good kids! I’m sorry for thinking you weren’t very good before.

The white ant gently tapped their little heads with its front legs in encouragement.

After digging a small tunnel in each of the four directions, the Worker Ants began to enlarge their home.

However, as they were expanding their home, their speed slowed down, not because they were being lazy, but because the clear sticky liquid they produced began to thin out, making it harder to hold the soil like before.

The part of the Worker Ants that could no longer produce thick clear sticky liquid stopped working.

It felt like skilled workers who, lacking tools or parts, chose to stop work to ensure the quality of the project.

Noticing this, Lin Yu decided to trust the judgment of these "skilled workers," and quickly instructed them to stop digging in all four directions and focus on just one direction first.

However, this meant that some Worker Ants were left without tasks.

So, the remaining idle Worker Ants were asked to help carry soil and pieces of meat.

To save time, the soil was not taken outside the cave to be dumped but was instead piled up inside the cave.

…

After a while, a new room was finally built.

The new room is almost twice as big as the old room, which means the Worker Ants built the ant hill much better than the Weak Ants.

But after finishing this new room, the sticky fluid from the Worker Ants was as thin as water, and they lay weakly on the ground.

Lin Yu, being a caring mother, fed them meat when they could not get up.

Eating more meat might help make that fluid thicker!

Ah, it’s not just to make them work quickly! Why is that? Because…because…right, if it’s too thin, it might be bad for their health.

Unfortunately, after the already full Worker Ants ate some more meat, the sticky fluid did not become thicker.

It seems like it needs some time to return to its original thickness?

So disappointing…ah, no, just a little bit disappointing…

Exploiting the daughters’ labor? What a bad mother! She deserves to be blamed!

…

After a while.

The Worker Ants, who had become weak from producing too much slime, gradually regained their strength, but the slime was still thin.

So, Lin Yu had them move the pieces of meat along with the other Weak Ants.

After working hard for almost two hours, it was dusk.

The newly expanded room was almost filled with pieces of meat.

The huge carcass of the long-toothed brown bear had almost all its meat taken apart, leaving only a small portion of meat along with some internal organs, fur, and bones.

The bodies of the wolf pack hadn’t changed much.

Lin Yu had tried eating the meat of the Granville Wolf, and it had a strong bloody taste in her mouth, along with a strange smell.

It tasted worse than bear meat.

Goblin meat?

Hmm, I won’t think about that for now. Why would I want to eat the meat of these green-skinned creatures when there is bear and wolf meat available?

Those goblins are both ugly and creepy, and they are still humanoid beings. Eating them would surely be disgusting, right?

…

While Lin Yu was lost in thought, news came from the Weak Ant that was keeping watch.

A group of goblins was approaching in the direction of the cave.

When the goblins got close enough, Lin Yu could see their numbers and size through the Weak Ant’s eyes.

There were 30 goblins, and the reason we could see their size clearly was because…

The leader of the goblins was not the small green-skinned creature we had seen before; it was tall and strong, easily seven or eight times the height of the other little goblins.

It looked roughly the size of a saber-toothed bear, but when it came to height, it was even taller than that bear!

Its skin was dark brown, with a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and in its hand, it held a huge wooden stick, as thick as the trunk of a small tree.

This big creature did not look like an ordinary goblin.
