Chapter 5: Eating Books Like Crazy
Mei Jun sat on top of the slime king head.
Under his meal of dates and sticks, he has trained him to be a loyal little brother and an honest mount, after all, these leather children will not be obedient without a lesson.
After Mei Jun obtained the ability to transform, although he had turned into a humanoid form, he was really just a humanoid form.
Although it can stretch and contract freely, it has no tissues or organs, and it is empty, and three holes have been dug out of the face to be eyes and mouth.
In fact, this is also very helpless, after all, many things cannot be made out of thin air.
"But luckily, there's already a humanoid. Mei Jun comforted herself so much.
"Slime King, go ahead thirty centimeters. He commanded suddenly.
He put a mycelial hand into the slime king's body, so that a penicillium and a slime could send messages to each other.
"Okay, Slime Demon King!"
Seeing that the slime king was indeed very obedient, Mei Jun nodded with satisfaction.
He thought to himself, sure enough, the child has to fight more to be obedient.
With the mount of the Slime King, the trip is much faster, although the speed is not very fast, but it is large!
In any case, it is better than Mei Jun consuming the spiritual energy in his soul to exert his ability.
Soon, the slime king arrived at Mei Jun's designated place, and it stopped.
This slime mushroom king's IQ is only three years old now, but his learning ability is not low, and Mei Jun has instilled in it many directions, time, distance... It can even remember all this common sense.
The slime king asked him what was the use of all this.
That Mei Jun is naturally famous, and it is said that it becomes stronger! Knowledge makes people stronger!
"The Great Demon King of Slime Mold, it's here. The slime king sent a message to Mei Jun.
In fact, the name of the slime master is very low, but Mei Jun can't think of a better one for the time being, so he let the slime king call this first.
"Well, good, I'll continue to teach you ways to become stronger in the future. Mei Jun's soul leaned out and looked around.
The most bookshelves are naturally books, and now Mei Jun also needs to eat books to increase the strength of his soul, maybe one day his soul can become stronger, and he will have a chance to get out of this useless body?
"Slime King, you put Lao Tzu in the book. Mei Jun ordered.
"Okay!"
"Well, it's really comfortable to have a little brother, at least it won't be boring. Mei Jun landed on the book, he stretched his waist, and thought to himself.
In fact, he doesn't even have a bone in his body, and stretching his waist is just a habit when he is a man.
"It's good to be a human being, and you can stretch your waist. β
At this time, he remembered the benefits of being a human being.
"Is the Artificial Intelligence Program about artificial intelligence programming? Forget it, eat first as respect. β
Mei Jun's soul hung upside down from above, looking at this book with black as the main color, and there was a silver robot pattern on the book.
Mei Jun used deformation to quickly flatten and thin his body, so that his effective contact area with the book increased, and the efficiency of devouring was greatly improved.
But before devouring it, he had to make the book moldy, although he didn't know the principle himself, but in this way he could fully absorb everything about the book, including knowledge and spiritual energy, and how little material energy there was.
Soon, the book was crawling with turquoise mold, and the pages were stained with a lot of mold, and he was now multiplying faster.
In fact, organic matter such as wood is difficult to degrade, because there is something called lignin in the tree, which can maintain the extremely high hardness of the wood.
But Mei Jun is now a mold, acting as a decomposer in the biological chain, secreting a mixture of enzymes that break down this lignin, which in turn can devour the entire book.
Afterwards, Mei Jun licked her toothless mouth.
"Delicious. He could only describe the book in those two words.
After eating this book, the soul absorbed a lot of spiritual energy and also gained a lot of knowledge about artificial intelligence programs.
He even came up with the idea of creating an artificial intelligence system, which is a bit unscientific, but it may not be impossible with his ability.
"Well, let's see what's delicious next to it...... Eh, or is it about artificial intelligence?" Mei Jun looked at the book next to him.
He nodded in satisfaction, his head was ...... Dropped...
"......" He was completely speechless, and his head could still be dropped.
"So Lao Tzu wants to be a man again!" Mei Jun plunged into the sea of books with a huge grudge.
The green mold crawled all over the books on this shelf, and one after another turned into knowledge, material energy and spiritual energy in Mei Jun's body.
"Ahh I'm so tired! I'm really full at this point. β
Mei Jun lay tired and moaned, and now his entire moldy body swelled up, like a big fat ball.
"It's really unbearable!" A large amount of knowledge and spiritual energy poured into Mei Jun's soul together, fluttering like a fairy, and there was an uncomfortable feeling of swelling.
He was very tired, he felt that his body was hollowed out, and using the devouring ability would consume the spiritual energy in his soul, but this time he ate too much, overused, and the storage was about to be used up, and the entry was not digested.
After lying down for a while, Mei Jun's thoughts flew wildly, as he often said, thoughts must not be stopped.
His body grew once again, 70 microns, and was growing towards 100 microns.
"Could it be that ... Lao Tzu's soul has been strengthened, causing his current body to be forced to grow, otherwise it can't be accommodated?" Mei Jun lay on the bookshelf and guessed, while the children copied next to him were digesting the leftovers.
"But at this rate, maybe Lao Tzu will become the largest Penicillium in history..."
"Who the hell is going to be the biggest penicillium!" Mei Jun shook his head vigorously, and hurriedly rejected this terrible idea.
Suddenly, he was a little scared, he was afraid that one day he would adapt to the identity of mold and lose the idea of being a new person.
"No! I want to be a human being... Father... I'm going to be human... When peopleβ" At this point, he thought as if he had fallen into a daze.
I don't know how long he read until a pale yellow tentacle touched him.
"Slime Demon King, you... What are you doing?" it turned out to be the slime king who had crawled over from the old side.
The slime king's learning ability is so strong, and now even the information he transmits is gradually becoming smoother.
Mei Jun came back to her senses and stood up.
If it hadn't been for this pale yellow slime fungus that woke him up just now, he would have almost gone mad.
Thinking of this, he was afraid for a while, and guessed in his heart, "It's really too lonely, after all, Lao Tzu is a human being with sociality, and now that he has separated from human society, this sequelae will slowly appear, I'm afraid that if it continues like this, it will really become a neuropathy..."
"No, we have to find a way... Go to the outside world, otherwise sooner or later you will become a psychopath. Mei Jun also saw the seriousness of this problem.
He decided to think about it and prepare a plan for his reintegration into human society.
"Slime Demon King, you... You're getting bigger again. The slime king seemed a little surprised.
"Well, thank you, Slime King. Mei Jun also passed a message to it.
At this point, he was a little grateful to this little brother, if it weren't for it...
In fact, he just ate too many books, and a lot of knowledge and thoughts were crowded, which caused his soul to be a little deranged.
