In the night, the floating jellyfish swayed away.
When it finally flew out of the green tree wall, those small trees shook their branches and leaves again, returned to their previous positions, and turned into a green wall, covering the sea of flowers.
It was only then that the nervous figure on the second floor of the bungalow finally relaxed.
"Phew—finally gone!"
The body that had been trying to stay calm fell to the ground, breathing heavily.
"That... that power, that power... couldn't be the 'legendary monster' that the teacher once said, right? The teacher said that every legendary monster grew up by eating countless creatures. Their favorite Food is a mutated monster that originally had no intelligence, but became intelligent due to mutation... "
She muttered to herself, her body trembling uncontrollably.
"The outside world is so scary! Humans can kill monsters, powerful monsters can eat monsters, and even weak monsters can deceive each other... Sure enough, a guy like me who is too weak to be mentioned can't leave the teacher's magic tower at all. !”
"Oh? What kind of monster are you?" An interested voice sounded beside her.
The slightly petite figure jumped up as if he was electrocuted, and suddenly hit the table next to him. He grinned in pain, but looking at the green jellyfish floating in front of him, he was too scared to even scream in pain.
"You...you...you...you...how...how...how...in...in...in...in...?"
Because of her trembling, it took her a long time to finish just one sentence.
Sui Xiong smiled and shook his tentacles, imitating Brother Long's movements: "Young man, you are still a fool! Let me tell you some life experiences of the elders."
"First of all, the more scared you are, the more calm you have to be. If you can't force yourself to speak calmly, then it's better not to speak."
The petite figure nodded, and the hood slid down, revealing long hair as beautiful as sapphires.
"Secondly, you must not let the enemy get close, otherwise you will be dead. You know, the closer the enemy gets, the more dangerous it is. If there is still a chance of survival in a long-distance battle, if the enemy gets close, even a chance of survival will be gone."
The petite figure continued to nod, looking like he was suddenly enlightened.
"Third, never accept the enemy's things, good or bad, and throw them as far as you can! It's not like you can't live without these things, so why should you accept them just because of a little curiosity? Do you know? I know that in a distant country, there once was a city that had been defending for ten years. Finally, out of curiosity, I accepted the huge wooden horse left by the enemy. As a result, the enemy hidden in the wooden horse rushed into the city and broke it. Finally, people They were all slaughtered and the city was burned to the ground..."
The petite figure exclaimed, hurriedly took out a notebook and recorded it carefully.
"Finally, even if the enemy leaves, you can't relax and stay vigilant! Because the enemy will often confuse you by leaving temporarily, and then turn around and attack you when you are relaxed! Since ancient times, when sieges, there has been a fierce attack during the day, and then Rest in the evening, wait until the defenders think the enemy has given up, and then attack fiercely at night!"
Sui Xiong couldn't help but smile when he saw the petite guy writing down notes in his notebook quickly, and asked, "Have you written everything down?"
"Remember it, teacher!" the petite figure replied subconsciously.
The next moment, she reacted, threw away the notebook, took out a shining golden scroll, and wanted to fight Sui Xiong to the death.
However, it was too late at this moment, Sui Xiong's tentacles had already surrounded her, wrapping around her from all directions in an instant, wrapping her tightly.
"Let me teach you the real last tip - don't talk too much nonsense to the enemy. The more nonsense you talk, the easier it is to have an accident." The floating jellyfish that succeeded in the surprise attack laughed proudly to the sky, "Be aware that villains die because they talk too much. !”
Before he finished speaking, the petite figure entangled in his tentacles trembled violently, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into a woman, escaped from his tentacles, and then reunited, turning into a human girl.
A blue slime with a human-like appearance.
"Slime?!" Sui Xiong looked at the blue slime, which looked like a human girl at first glance, in surprise, and asked curiously, "Are you a slime?"
Although the blue slime girl used her natural ability to escape from Sui Xiong's clutches, she had lost the magic scroll used to fight to the death. At this moment, she was looking at him tremblingly, her eyes flickering, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Okay, don't think too much. I'm really just here to talk about cooperation." Sui Xiong reluctantly raised his tentacles in a gesture of surrender, "I was just joking with you and teaching you a lesson."
As he spoke, he looked around and asked in confusion: "Where is Master Trian? Is he really not here? No way... He is a high-level mage who is about to enter the legendary realm. Why did he leave his magic tower for nothing? Don't tell me. This bungalow is not a magic tower, I can feel the magic pool underground!"
The slime girl was silent for a while, probably because she felt that there was no possibility of a comeback. She finally gave up and sat on the ground and said softly: "Teacher... has passed away."
"What?!" Sui Xiong was shocked, "Are you kidding me? Look at this magic tower and the huge magic circle around him. He is about to enter the legendary realm! And he died at this time? What are you telling me? , don’t think I’m easy to deceive just because I’m round-headed. I’ve been through many battles and I’ve never seen any big scenes! You know the God of Redemption, right? I chatted and laughed with him... "
"The teacher is dead. He died sixteen years ago."
Sui Xiong was silent for a long time and sighed: "Please forgive me and accept the change."
The slime girl nodded slightly, hummed, and remained silent.
After a while, she began to cry softly.
Sui Xiong shook his head and flew in front of her. His body shook slightly and he became slightly shorter than her.
"If you want to cry, just cry. I can lend you my shoulder—a shoulder, more or less—for a while."
The slime girl hesitated for a moment, then lay on top of him and cried loudly.
"...So, Master Trian has actually been in poor health since a long time ago?"
"Um."
"Later, he tried to fight to the death and barely reached the legendary realm, but failed and died soon after?"
"Um."
"You were originally his experiment. You opened up your wisdom during the experiment, and you were gradually educated by him to become his assistant. When he was dying, he officially recognized you as his disciple, gave you the name 'Wendy', and He left his last wisdom to you along with the magic tower, and then you continue to live here?”
"Um."
"You have almost learned all his alchemy, enchantment and medical skills. But because of your race, your spell ability is very poor. You can only rely on the assistance of the magic tower to complete these tasks?"
"Um."
"Over the years, you have been pretending to be a teacher and relying on your alchemy and enchantment business to maintain the normal operation of the magic tower?"
"Um."
"Your teacher told you back then that 'human beings will kill monsters on sight', 'human beings will boil wisdom slime dry and make it into healing medicine', 'everyone outside is a liar, only the teacher will not harm you'" Kind of words?"
"Um."
"So you don't dare to meet people, you sneak around all day, and even ask the golem to come forward to deal with business?"
"Um."
Sui Xiong sighed deeply: "A simple guy like you has not been killed yet. The legendary saying that 'Goddess of Luck prefers fools' seems not a rumor!"
"Is the teacher right?" The slime named Wendy asked angrily as she became unhappy.
It was obvious that she had great respect and admiration for the late Master Trian, to the point of blind obedience. He actually believes this nonsense: "Humans boil down intelligent slimes and make them into healing elixirs" - hello! Aren't you a master of both alchemy and medicine? Don’t you even know what medicinal materials slime can be used for
It's not like Sui Xiong didn't try to correct her thoughts, but Wendy was very stubborn and had no intention of correcting her mistakes. After several negotiations, His Majesty the Jellyfish God had no choice but to admit that he had absolutely no way to convince her.
Fortunately, apart from being extremely stubborn about "what the teacher said must be correct", Wendy was very accommodating in other aspects - or simply said to be weak. Sui Xiong and her easily negotiated a cooperation plan - Sui Xiong Xiong left a clone behind to help her maintain the magic tower. And she put down all business for the next period of time and concentrated on helping Sui Xiong study the body of the giant snake, find out the secret of its long life as soon as possible, and then develop a longevity potion.
As a kind and kind elder, Sui Xiong would certainly not do such an unethical thing as kicking his partners away once he got something. When discussing the contract, he proposed three plans for Wendy to choose from regarding the profit distribution after the longevity potion was successfully developed.
Option 1: Wendy estimates the value of this formula by herself, and buys it out in one go, with no default on the cash transaction.
Option 2: For every potion sold in the future, Wendy can get 10% of the gross profit.
Option 3: In the process of operating the pharmacy, one half-year period is used as a stage, and a quarter of the net profit in each stage is given to her.
Of course, no matter which plan, the pharmaceutical formula belongs to Sui Xiong, and other benefits derived from it also belong to Sui Xiong. The business plan and measures are completely decided by Sui Xiong. Any pharmaceutical formula developed by Wendy that is related to the content of this formula must be acquired by Sui Xiong unconditionally. Even if Sui Xiong does not acquire her formula, she must keep it secret for the next fifty years and must not serve other pharmaceutical merchants. And if she is unwilling to continue to cooperate with Sui Xiong, even if the deadline is reached, the recipe for her first work from now on must belong to Sui Xiong.
As for some clauses such as "not to make remarks that are unfavorable to partners", "must cooperate with publicity and sales", etc., it is even more important.
"Then what else can I keep?" Wendy asked angrily.
"Right of publication, you can decide whether to publish your formula; right of signature, your formula must be signed according to your request; right of modification, you have the right to modify your formula; right of integrity, I am not allowed to distort or tamper with your formula." Sui Xiong said fluently, "Look, the most important power is still there."
"...I always feel like I've been cheated."
"How could it be possible?" Sui Xiong smiled, "When I drew serials for others, I signed contracts like this."
"Have you ever painted for others?" The slime girl's attention was immediately attracted by this gossip.
"Yeah, that's a very, very far away thing..." Sui Xiong smiled slightly and said nothing more. He looked at the moon that was gradually setting in the west and sighed deeply.
My hometown, is there still a chance to go back in this life
