Slime's Evolutionary Journey

"Hongji, let's go out. I should say thank you for taking care of me these years."

Zike stood up from his chair. He looked like a strong middle-aged man, but he walked lazily outside the workshop like an old man, as if everything in these thousands of years would end in the next moment.

Hong Ji was behind Ci Ke. She didn't understand what her master meant, but the moment she was born, she stayed by his side as a matter of course. She was before, is now, and will be in the future. Well, she will definitely be by his side.

"How's it going, boy! Did you have fun?"

Zike walked out of the workshop and looked at the sentient creature he had seen for the first time in the Gear Kingdom in thousands of years, with a slight smile in his eyes.

"Fortunately, Hubie also enjoyed this trip." Fangte touched Hubie, who was only as tall as his chest and clutching the hem of his clothes tightly.

"Are Hubby happy?"

Cike sat in front of Fangte and bent down slightly, his tone actually sounded kind! This made Fante sound uncomfortable.

"Hey, hey, Uncle Cike, why do you sound like an old man? What's wrong? There won't be any malfunction today. Let me tell you, I don't know how to repair it."

"What are you talking about? Who do you think I am, that I will malfunction? The best manufacturing machinery in the Gear Kingdom is not as powerful as me." Cike stood up and patted his chest.

"Okay, I don't know if you are great, but a month has passed, and I think we should have a chat."

Fangte didn't want to talk to him anymore. He had been talking to him for more than ninety years. However, although this guy hid a lot from himself, he couldn't deny that if it weren't for him, he might not have been able to get lost several times. After coming back, after ninety years of continuous fighting, I guess I would have collapsed long ago.

Zike glanced at Hubi, who was clutching the corner of his clothes next to Fang Te:

"Hubby, please go in first."

Hubi looked at Fangte, then at Cike, and finally at Hongji. He looked very hesitant, but still grabbed the corner of Fangte's clothes and hid shyly behind Fangte.

"Hubby, it's okay. Zike and I have something to talk about. You go to the workshop to play around first. Recently, an S-shaped gear on my left arm is broken. You can help me pick a good one by the way." Fangte touched her little head.

"Hong Ji, don't bully Hubi too much, otherwise little Hubi will really never come again." Ci Ke told Hong Ji.

Hong Ji looked embarrassed, but in the end she obeyed her master's order.

With Ci Ke's order, Hubi knew that Hong Ji would not do anything excessive. However, he just glanced at Fang Te a few more times before following Hong Ji into the workshop. Fang Te could see the look in Hong Ji's eyes. She had a hard time enduring the look in her eyes that wanted to knock Hubby down.

The mechanical door of the workshop was closed, and Fangte and Cike were sitting at the front desk as usual. Cike calmly took an energy sphere to Fangte, and then lit one leisurely. The smoke was quickly extinguished by Fangte.

"Let me guess, you don't just want to know my true purpose. You still have a series of questions in your mind that you want to ask me. Let me summarize them for you."

Zike counted them one by one with his fingers.

"First question, you want to ask me why I made you an S-class machine. You have asked me this question many times. The most recent time was a month ago."

"Second question, you want to know what role Hubi plays in our plan."

"Then you are very confused as to why I asked you to accompany Hubie on the trip."

“In the end, it’s my ultimate goal and how to implement the next plan.”

"Since you know everything, then you can explain it carefully. After all, we still have one night."

Fangte took a sip of the energy ball and clenched his fingers involuntarily. He always had an inexplicable feeling towards the person in front of him who didn't look like a friend or a collaborator but had worked with him for more than ninety years. It's like a collection of enemies and friends.

"Since it's still a long time, boy, would you mind listening to a story."

"story?"

"Well, a story that has been held in my heart for thousands of years, a story that I can finally tell now."

"In this case, it's a pity that there is no wine in the Gear Country."

"Haha, yes, it's a pity, but just listen to it."

Zike's expression gradually relaxed, and his pupils gradually dimmed.

"A long time ago, actually it's not very early. In terms of outside time, it was only more than thirty years ago. At that time, there was an empire named Odeya. This country was quite powerful. Yes, emmm, I don’t know now, at least when I was here, he was called one of the three empires of the human race.”

People from the three major empires, whether they are nobles or common people, will show their pride whenever they mention the name of their empire. However, the middle-aged uncle in front of him did not have any similar emotions in his tone. Some of them were just that time had passed away for a long time. Just nostalgia.

"But, do you know? Although the emperor of the Odeya Empire has many wives and concubines, he is really not good at it. Hehehehe, boy, you guessed it right. He is just not good at that aspect, but he is quite lustful, so he can He said that he lived on a woman’s belly all day long, so in the end, such an incompetent person actually had two sons.”

"The two children were born almost only one minute and one second apart. At that time, both the nobles and the powerful officials believed that these two children, born at almost the same time, would fight to the death for the throne."

"But, things don't seem to be what they thought. I don't know what blessings Emperor Odeya has brought. Maybe it's because there are only two brothers in the huge royal court, so the two half-brothers have a particularly good relationship. , so good that you can even change into underwear.”

"Gradually, the two children of Emperor Odeya grew older. Their personalities gradually became different, and their hobbies were also different! The eldest son who was born earlier liked to read. But the second son was different. This second son... , often running to the royal dwarf craftsmen.”

"You must know that Odea's creativity is very developed. A big reason is that Odea has nearly 50% of the dwarves of the human race, and the royal dwarf craftsmen are the best among them."

"The eldest son made Emperor Odeya very happy, but he was very helpless with his second son. After all, which emperor is obsessed with craftsmanship? Emperor Aila not only scolded his second son once and asked him to study hard, but he didn't care. Use it, and finally ignore him, after all, the emperor only needs one."

"The two brothers had a very good relationship, and the second son lived a very comfortable life. However, one day, the second son's life trajectory quietly changed."

Doctor Cike said slowly and lit a cigarette. This time Fangte did not stop him.
