BXBX NOVEL Chapter 75 Another Monster Egg!
[The Level of [Loki] has increased from Level 8 to Level 10!]
[The Level of [Silver] has increased from Level 3 to Level 7!]
And right after my own Level Ups, my party of two summons and Silver leveled up as well! Wow, Belle, and Loki are so strong now! I can even see muscles growing on my little Belle (kidding). And talking about Silver, for some reason she can evolve at Level 10 unlike the summons who got their level cap at level 30… So I guess in three more levels she\'ll evolve. She\'ll probably have a Level Cap of Level 30 by then I would assume.
But aside from all of this… I got a giant disgusting tongue and a lot of red flesh. The Mimic was very slimy and fleshy, and I don\'t know if the meat is even edible… I read the Summary and it said that it was perfectly edible though, and that it could even go well as some sort of skewered meat grilled over fire. Oh well…
Anyways, aside from that… I got a big semi-transparent egg that has something resembling a small, red-colored mollusk. I would say it looks like a small snail of some sort. It seems that Mimics mutate into the monster we fought against after they evolve and take over a shell… Kind of like Hermit Crabs, perhaps? Hm, oh well, I don\'t know if I will let it hatch or not. Perhaps selling it could be better… I have yet to grow attached to this little and cute boy.
Ah, he\'s so cute floating inside his egg. It seems it is filled with water… Are Mimics really like mollusks? Do they grow inside the water or damp places instead? I mean this whole cave is quite damp… I took out the egg and observed it carefully, as I noticed Rita and Titan rushing to my side.
"W-What?! An egg!" Said Rita.
"P-Planta… is this the drop you got? I only got the teeth and some meat…" Sighed Titan.
"I got a Treasure Chest Premium, which let me save even more items inside of my own Inventory I guess that\'s nice? But an Egg is even better!" Said Rita while pouting. "I gave you mine so let me have this one!"
"No! This is mine… Also, you originally wanted to eat Silver\'s egg, if it wasn\'t for me you would had eaten her before realizing it was valuable…" I sighed.
"But I\'ve changed my ways!" Said Rita while crossing her arms.
"Amazing, I had never seen a Mimic Pet before! Perhaps somebody has tamed one but I had not seen it before… They\'re overly aggressive and even Tamers have a hard time taming one." Said Titan. "This one could be even rarer than dragons in the market…"
"Ugh, now you\'re making me think about the profits of it…" I said while rubbing my chin. "But for now I\'ll save it inside my Inventory… But quite honestly… I still got another Tamed Monster Slot so I want him or her to be in that slot!"
"Geez! You\'re just going to tame another of those gold mines?! El- Planta, you should really get your head checked out, you\'re insane!" Rita was going a bit overboard there. I guess when it comes to money this woman really loses her patience.
"Calm down now! You\'re getting overly annoying over this… Let\'s continue moving on! And… didn\'t you leveled up a lot? I leveled twice!" I said.
"Y-Yeah, I guess I am Level 10 already." Said Rita. "But isn\'t that normal?"
"Normal?! I\'ve been playing for a week and I was still Level 9!" I said. "…Maybe because I am not that active in the hunting stuff job."
"I can see that you\'re taking it easy…" Laughed Titan. "I\'ve been mostly rushing things on my own and ended leveling up quite fast… Now I\'m stuck here and need more EXP, but all the monsters in my starting area were low level. This dungeon is the first place I find with higher leveled monsters… I am quite afraid of moving out of the forest due to my bonuses being lost if I do."
"Hm, yeah, it is quite dangerous to walk out of the forest. Maybe you could stay with us? I am making a Farm around the forest so we\'ll slowly build a lot of veggies. I also want to raise more Farm Animals to get more products!"
"Haha, Planta it is as if you were playing a completely different game than the one I am playing… The Farmer Job Class is new, isn\'t it?" He asked
"Yep it\'s pretty new I read…" I said. "Wait, where\'s Acorn?"
"H-Here…" Acorn slowly crawled towards us, he was hiding beneath a large rock. "I forgot my explosive potions so I cannot really join the battle as much… I could throw Acorns though! …But I saw you were controlling things alright."
"Yeah, but your potions are pretty useful. Can\'t you make potions on the go?" I wondered.
"Only the most basic Healing Potions that restore little HP and MP…" Said Acorn. "If I could carry my Cauldron, I could even make explosive flasks, but I lack the ability to carry it around. I heard from my grandpa that advanced Alchemists can even summon their Cauldron anywhere they go! My little Item Pouch can\'t fit such a big item inside."
"Hmm… Maybe I could carry it around for you inside my Inventory!" I said.
"Ohhh… That sounds nice, but wouldn\'t it be weird if you carry it? It\'s also my grandpa\'s property…" Sighed Acorn.
"Hm, you\'re right… Oh well! You\'re still a helper as long as you can do something. Here." I said. I quickly generated several acorns and filled his Item Bag with them.
"Wow, so many!" He said. "I didn\'t knew you could produce fruits like this…"
"Acorns are technically seeds so I can produce a large bunch of them, but then I have a long cooldown of several hours."
