Chapter 199: One End of Infinite Possibilities (2/3)
If I write down all of the cases of evolution and from there search for common points and food, then I might just be able to find other conditions for evolution… In that case, should I increase the number of poison slis or look for another sli that eats charcoal? Or maybe I should keep increasing the sli variants that I can increase?
I have sothing else in mind for the stone slis. I’m currently trying to get their numbers up, but the evolution experint is important too, so let’s focus on increasing their numbers. I’m sure I can get so results before they eat Gimuru’s abandoned mine into a flatland.
“That should be all of them!” [Niki]
“Hmm. Ahh. Right. In that case, let’s write down the slis that might evolve as well as their respective feed. ‘Item Box’ ” [Ryouma]
“Yeah!” [Niki]
I took out a writing tool and started writing down the different type of slis and possibilities for evolution.
Sticky Sli => Crab Sli, Shell Sli, Net Sli
Acid Sli => Shellfish Sli, Shellfish and Egg Sli
Poison Sli => Charcoal and Sand Sli, Poison Needle Sli
tal Sli => tal Net Sli
Bloody Sli => Parasite Sli
Stone Sli => Sand Sli, Ceramic Sli
Weed Sli => Water Plant Sli, Seaweed Sli
“That’s thirteen types all in all.” [Ryouma]
“Wow! Slis really can evolve into so many things! To think that seven types could evolve into so many!” [Niki]
“Well, this is just a possibility right now, though. Still, it’s amazing to see that I was able to find so many in just a day… And when I look back on it, there are a lot of feed that I can only get around these parts, like fish and crabs… I could collect water plants and seaweeds and multiply them inside the Dinsion Ho, but the venomous spines and the parasites can only be gotten from the fishes here…” [Ryouma]
“Couldn’t you easily solve that if you just lived here?” [Niki]
“That’s true, but I have work.” [Ryouma]
Although most of the store’s managent has been left to the employees, there are still docunts I have to personally handle and I also need to do my rounds around the mines regularly.
I could put soone in charge here to report to regularly, but Niki-kun is still too young, and the Wharf of Shikumu adventurer party doesn’t have any monster tars among their ranks… That being said, I could put up a branch store in this village and send soone like Caulkin-san over… Yeah that might actually not be a bad idea.
Today’s findings may not be limited to just this village here. If I were to go to another new environnt, I might also find new paths of evolution there. If so, then having to travel the whole world myself to explore the possibilities of sli evolution would take too much ti.
A better idea would be to expand my store and build branch stores in every region. I could then dispatch soone else to those stores to research the slis in my stead and send the data back to , so I can continue my research from my headquarters.
With this thod I’ll be able to manage my store and continue my sli research at the sa ti.
Perfect! I’ll talk to Carm-san about this as soon as I get back!
“You know, onii-chan. I don’t think you can pull that off right now, though.” [Niki]
“That’s fine. I’m talking long term here. …Wait. Was I talking out loud?” [Ryouma]
“Loud and clear. But enough of that. What are we going to do now?” [Niki]
“Well, for the anti, I’ll have my slis eat here while we’re at the village, and then before I leave I’ll take whatever junk the villagers won’t mind taking. That’s about it. Oh, there’s observing the slis too, I guess..” [Ryouma]
The slis can generally eat anything, so if there’s no food ant for evolution left then they should still be able to eat other stuff. If they evolve into sothing else, then that’s fine too.
“At the very least, they won’t grow weak and die because of starvation. And it’s not like I have to evolve them imdiately anyway. We’re doing this whole evolution thing at leisure, after all.” [Ryouma]
“I see. So now what?” [Niki]
“Hmm~ Unfortunately, we’re out of ti.” [Ryouma]
The job at the processing plant seems to be over already, as a lot of won have appeared in the square to pick up their children. I should send Niki-kun ho soon too.
But before I could actually send him ho…
“Niki, let’s go ho.” [Mother]
“Mom!” [Niki]
“Ryouma-kun, thank you for watching over my son.” [Mother]
“Oh, please don’t ntion it. Niki-kun helped out a lot today.” [Ryouma]
“Mom! I helped take care of the slis! There were so many different types of slis! It was really fun!” [Niki]
“I see. That’s great.” [Niki]
“Yeah! Oh, right, onii-chan. How long will it take for the sli evolutions we found today to evolve. I want to see the slis evolving!” [Niki]
“Unfortunately, it will take a few months before they evolve.” [Ryouma]
He helped out, so I would love to show him an evolution while I’m here, but alas.
“I see.. Then can I help take care of the slis again tomorrow?” [Niki]
“Of course! In fact, I welco it!” [Ryouma]
“…Yahoo! Alright, see you tomorrow, onii-chan!” [Niki]
Niki-kun took his mother’s hand and left while waving at .
