Demon King: Hero, don’t run away!

”Whoosh——”

He Meng swung a fist the size of a sandbag, and Yang Yu raised his hand, effortlessly catching it.

Yang Yu hadn’t held He Meng’s fist for long before it suddenly melted into a sticky liquid, slipping through his fingers and sticking to Yang Yu’s left hand.

Her body suddenly contracted, and He Meng, like releasing one side of a rubber band, snapped towards Yang Yu’s chest.

Standing still, Yang Yu let He Meng’s ”thud——” hit his chest.

Taking advantage of He Meng being bounced away by the recoil, Yang Yu reached out and pinched He Meng’s clay-like body.

Letting go of Yang Yu’s left hand, He Meng wriggled to try and escape from Yang Yu’s right hand, but Yang Yu opened his palm, letting He Meng’s bouncy form sit in his hand.

He Meng was extremely unwilling, hating being toyed with in someone else’s palm. She grew two whips from her round body and furiously whipped at Yang Yu, angrily saying:

”Why do you always have whatever they want when you give them things.

When it comes to me, it’s a letdown.

Do you have any dissatisfaction with me? If you do, say it directly!

If it’s my fault, I’ll change. If it’s your fault, I’ll bite you to death!

Don’t discriminate against me casually! If it’s a joke, don’t make such a nasty joke.”

Yang Yu easily deflected He Meng’s attack with one hand, ”I’m serious.

Since you’re a Slime, you should of course maximize the characteristics of a Slime.

I once said, to become something, you must first understand its internal structure.

These books were purchased from the giant dragon at a high cost.

It’s all to help you understand the principles and structures of these things.”

”Just by looking at these things, you can tell they’re complicated, with countless parts. When I turned into your tape recorder, I was exhausted.

Such things are impossible to transform into!

Besides, there’s a limit to the size of things I can transform into.

If I transform into something a bit bigger, I have to make the inside hollow.”

”There’s always more solutions than problems.

I’m not asking you to transform every part accurately, that would be unrealistic.

You can start by understanding the principles.

You have photographic memory, remembering what’s in the books should be easy for you.

After that, you can simplify the internal structure based on the principles.

This is a world of magic, and some tedious things can be easily achieved with magic.

As for the size of the transformed objects, they don’t need to be so big.

As long as the functions are complete, big or small makes no difference.”

”That’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one transforming.

Look at the books you gave me, it’s obvious you want me to traverse both the skies and the seas. Have you ever seen a Slime flying in the sky!

Do you want me to travel underground next?”

Yang Yu didn’t deny wanting He Meng to travel underground. With such a good foundation, He Meng should be fully utilized. If He Meng could turn into a fighter jet, Yang Yu even wanted to fly it to fight the Demon King.

”I’ve never heard of a flying Slime, but you could be the first. Some things need someone to pioneer.”

”Don’t sound so righteous and serious! To put it simply, you still want to treat me like a tool!”

”No way.” Yang Yu flatly denied and decided to appease He Meng, asking, ”Want some Clover Juice?”

He Meng pouted and glared at Yang Yu, ”Don’t think you can bribe me. This has happened a few times, do you think I’ll still fall for it?”

”Bai Jin, use some magic to make a few ice cubes to add to the Clover Juice later.”

Upon hearing Yang Yu’s call, Bai Jin raised her hand, conjuring an Ice Cone, and cut it into small pieces with threads of magic power, letting them hover in her hand.

”I already said...”

Before He Meng could finish, she saw Yang Yu suddenly become very serious.

”You need to offer Clover... before asking for your help, right?

He Meng, I know you have many complaints, but I have my own reasons for wanting you to learn these things.

It’s crucial for our adventure...”

He Meng stared at Yang Yu without speaking.

Yang Yu reached out, taking a cup of green liquid from the System, and Bai Jin accurately threw the ice cubes into his cup.

Yang Yu handed the Clover Juice to He Meng.

He Meng paused on Yang Yu’s hand for a while before leaping down from his palm and transforming back into her human form, saying unhappily:

”You should have said so earlier. Made me get my hopes up in vain.”

Yang Yu took out a straw from the System and placed it in the cup:

”In the All Things Library, you seemed to enjoy those books so much that I thought you’d definitely like them.”

”I didn’t like them, and I wasn’t enjoying myself.

It was just mechanical memorization.

Hmph, I can’t learn so much in a short time, for now, give me the most realistic plan...

The rest, I’ll learn slowly.”

Taking the cup, He Meng bit down on the straw and gulped the Clover Juice.

After drinking a little, she felt something strange, it was indeed the taste of Clover, but it seemed mixed with something else.

Thinking it was an illusion, He Meng took several more sips, and suddenly, she felt a strange sensation in her body, as if she had inexplicably learned something.

This feeling was exactly the same as when she devoured those Magic Beast limbs and acquired skills...

Could it be...

”You jerk, deceiving my feelings again! You actually added something weird to the sacred Clover Juice.”

Sure enough, Yang Yu hadn’t been idle in collecting materials for He Meng, he’d just spent some time blending them with Clover into juice.

Every time he made He Meng eat something she didn’t want, her Favorability would drop, so Yang Yu wanted to see if this method would lessen the drop in Favorability.

As a result, this time He Meng’s Favorability only decreased a little.

It seemed likely that in a short time, he could feed He Meng all the dozens of prepared materials.

Sensing Yang Yu’s intentions, He Meng furiously protested.

Ignoring He Meng’s fuss, Yang Yu took out a ping-pong ball-sized orange orb from the Storage Scroll and tossed it to He Meng.

”This is the real thing I wanted to give you.

This item is no less valuable than any item I just gave to the others.”

He Meng pouted as she lifted the orb towards the ceiling’s glowing Magic Lamp. This time, she was cautious and did not immediately believe Yang Yu’s words.

Under the lamplight, He Meng didn’t see anything special about the orb.

Yang Yu smiled and said, ”This is a rare item, seldom found in the world, with very few records of its existence.

The name of this treasure is Dragon Ball, made from the magic power of a dead giant dragon, repeatedly refined, containing extremely dense magic power.

It seems to be an indispensable material for crafting some Legendary Equipment.”

Yang Yu wasn’t lying, that’s exactly what the description of the item said, but Yang Yu hadn’t seen any equipment containing the Dragon Ball yet.

It appeared that mastering the Dragon Ball was not simple.

The craftsmen of the past seemed not to have found a way to harness it before the world’s structure collapsed.
