Chereads / A guy with some Slimes / Chapter 4 - New Dawn, New Home

Chapter 4 - New Dawn, New Home

The night wasn't so harsh as I thought it was going to be. The stars were quite beautiful and it all got even prettier when the glowy blobs known as phosphor slimes descended out of the skies. I have no idea where the bastards originated from but it was incredible, so incredible in fact that I got no sleep. 

After all the tunnel, whilst great, allowed for slimes to come in and it is pretty difficult to sleep when a lightbulb is sat on your lap. The light the glowy cunts produced wasn't much, however, the one that produced the most light in particular decided on a whim to follow me around, which is great I'm unique and my ego is boosted, but bad because ego doesn't mean shit when I'm sleep deprived.

I need a new shelter and I need one fast. Water is covered, food is covered as well. For some reason the crops that grow in the Far, Far Range grow exceptionally fast, I managed to nab myself about 11 carrots, though I felt like a horse chewing through that whole mess, I'm certain I could make myself a decent meal if I managed to get some cookware, too bad I'm on a planet 1000 light years from home buck naked.

Those pogofruits that I tried were quite nice, they had a subtle, more mellow type of sweetness, like that which you would expect from a pear or a banana. It did however have enormous seeds, each seed was about the size of a fingernail and shaped like a pebble. But the seeds weren't hard, but rather brittle and easy to crack.

Another thing, I have yet to confirm whether Beatrix is in the ranch or not, and I am too afraid to go and check for myself seeing as I'd probably get thrown into the slime sea, but I have my suspicions that she is indeed here as it is concerningly calm around the dry reefs. Normally every once in a while, about once or twice a day, a tarr would spawn from a Largo getting a bit too desperate, and usually that tarr would eat most of the slimes, disappear, and then the slimes would somehow repopulate. Don't know how they repopulate but I'm sure it has to do with the slime sea.

However instead of there being any tarrs, there are absolutely none, I can't monitor each area independently but seeing as I haven't seen any marks of destruction, loose rocks, or skid marks in the sandy ground, there has to be something, or someone, taking away these tarrs before they cause any real damage.

Concerning shelter I have two choices, one I can go into the cave with the phosphor Largos again, and try to feed them before they go mad, and with that plan, I could have a few chill roommates, the problem is I'd have to feed them every single day, several times a day. Starving the local slime population is hard, not because there aren't any resources, but because the slimes get to the food too goddamn fast. 

The other solution is to find another cave, wander into another area, and try to find shelter in that whole shebang. This solution is the most promising as I'd probably benefit more from not having to steal more food than I need, in addition to that I need to see if I can access any of the other areas, if I can then that would increase the amount of food I can eat, and the shelter I could find by an enormous amount.

So, wandering it is.

My feet have gotten much thicker since yesterday, or they have gotten numb from being scratched up all the time, my delicate little feet deserve a rest but we need to find a way to be comfortable first.

The gashes on my back from being abused and tossed around by the phosphor Largos still haven't gone away, rather they have scabbed over so the healing process is underway. I'm certain that by next month they will have completely healed, probably without a trace considering that they were shallow and not too deep.

Crunch.

I was back in the area I first remembered appearing in, and just before I could enter a view caught my eye. Across the rickety bridge where there would supposedly be a pink Gordo, there was nothing, sure Gordos were a natural occurrence in-game and you could lure them with traps, but there were signs that the Gordo was there. Indents within the earth were visible from 50 meters away, several pink slimes lazing around on the little land formation they were on, and splinters of broken wood, presumably from crates.

Ladies and gentlemen we have confirmed, that we aren't alone on this Far, Far Range. I can't tell if that is good concerning our situation, but that should mean that one of the other locations should be open for us. If we go through the indigo quarry we can certainly find shelter, we will be covered nearly always and there is a large pond somewhere in the area filled with fresh water. The only problem being that it has more dangerous slimes.

The boom slime stays in that location primarily, it can blow up in accordance to its name. Being exploded isn't safe, surprise, surprise. So I'd have to deal pretty heavily with that. In addition, the main inhabitants are rock slimes which have blue but dull spikes populating their backs, and their main method of movement is to roll around like a certain hedgehog.

Now I'm traumatised by the rock phosphor Largos from the cave so we will most likely avoid the quarry.

The other choice is the moss blanket, just like the Indigo quarry it lives up to its name, it is an island purely covered with moss, in a certain section of the island there is moss that glistens in the darkness, but we don't want to go there as the slimes are predatory there.

The positive of the moss blanket is that it has lots and lots of food, there are fruits absolutely everywhere and where there aren't fruits there are honey plorts. Honey plorts stand out as they are genuine chunks of natural sugar, edible in the barest sense, each one packs an enormous amount of calories too, which means I'll be able to keep my flab.

The problem is that there isn't much shelter, and where there is shelter, there are also slimes so you won't be able to have any peace. 

Crunch

Sweep!

Pow!

Ah fuck I just fell on my face, I think I lost a tooth. I must of fallen at least 3 meters over that ledge, at least I fell on the soft ground instead of the slime sea, I'd have probably drowned in that viscous mess that's called a sea.

Hey wait a minute where did all the pink Largos come from, and why are they all rolling towards me all spiky?

Hello again, don't think I'll keep my promise of adding an extra chapter today. Some generous fella donated power stones however (Me) and another astounding person also donated a single power stone (Not me somehow)

So I'll try my best, If I don't make an extra chapter today I'll finish it tomorrow.
