Start from a ball of mud and expand infinitely

Chapter 01 Turned into a ball of mud



Dusk tried to pass through the layers of woods, but in the end he was blocked by them all.

Below, there is a deep place.

Under the woods, you can hear the chirping of insects and birds, and from time to time, small furry animals come and go.

He bumped from behind a clump of plants into another, causing a rustling sound.

Li Ge is here, looking up at all this.

Yes, look up.

If you only looked at the perspective, Li Ge thought he was lying flat at the foot of the tree.

"Others who have traveled through time are at least doing awesome things. Why! I will travel through time and turn into a ball of mud!!"

A howl echoed in the woods, startling the birds in the forest.

The time traveler, Li Ge.

While in the countryside, I tripped and fell into a puddle of mud.

Then he turned into a puddle of mud.

However, this world never cares whether you want it or not. Li Ge's background cannot be changed.

"Well, at least I'm alive."

Li Ge comforted himself with a forced smile.

If only a puddle of mud could "smile bitterly".

"Properties Panel"

A murmur.

The next second, a translucent panel appeared in front of Li Ge.

Name: Moist black soil.

Volume: 0.5 cubic meters

Energy: 0.9 (obtained from the positive spiritual energy of all things.)

"It only has a volume of 0.5 cubic meters. It's enough for what you can do!"

Li Ge used his mental power to wander within his "body" and observed the 0.5 cubic meters that belonged to him.

"Small, too small!"

How small exactly is it?

Have you ever seen a ball with a diameter of about one meter?

That's about it.

However, since there is "energy" data below, it at least shows that his size can be strengthened.

Just... through the emotion of "gratitude"?

Li Ge was extremely helpless.

Who would be grateful for a piece of land!

At this moment, a strange-looking little animal stepped on Li Ge.

Li Ge was bored, so he kept mumbling: "Brother, you stepped on me!"

However, when the little animal first heard the sound, it looked up alertly. After seeing that there was no change, it buried its head in digging.

"What did you say you were digging me for? To make a grave? Tell you, I..."

Suddenly, the little animal dug out an earthworm and ate it like a noodle...

Li Ge was stunned. He had never thought that there would be earthworms in his "body"!

——I always thought that I was a piece of innocent and simple soil!

Just when Li Ge collapsed and despaired, the system prompt sounded.

"Energy +0.1"

this……

Li Ge never knew that these small animals would actually feel grateful to the land after foraging for food.

However, if you think about it, it's normal.

Just like in his previous life, Li Ge's country was a farming civilization, and the entire country had an unusual attachment to land.

"So, as long as there are creatures that rely on me for survival, you can get points?"

"Then in order to obtain the maximum amount of energy, wouldn't it be better to have more creatures in my domain?

“It feels a bit like running a game.”

Li Ge murmured to himself while checking his own energy.

At this time, Li Ge's energy point has reached the critical point of "1".

"Do you want to use 1 energy to enhance your mobility?"

"Of course, do you think I want to be a piece of dirt that cannot move for the rest of my life?"

Under the moonlight, the forest was dark.

However, if you look closely, under a tall tree, the land that should be dark is faintly emitting a soft silver light.

"Strengthened, movement speed is one meter per second."

Following the system voice prompts, a magical feeling arises spontaneously.

Originally, he seemed to be a conscious vegetable.

But now, he suddenly has limbs that can move, although these "limbs" feel very weak.

Li Ge was a little excited and pulled his body out of the earth.

I saw soil surging under a big tree, and then suddenly life flowed out of a lump of soil, like water.

A large ball of mud left its original position with difficulty, suddenly leaving a big hole.

Then, this ball of soil changed its shape back and forth.

It seemed to want to gather itself together, but, despite all its efforts, it could only gather itself into a mud bag.

"never mind."

Li Ge sighed helplessly.

The lump of mud gave up and collapsed on the ground.

"I just want to see if I can make it look like a human, not a tomb for myself."

"But what if I split myself into two lumps?"

Li Ge once again had a sudden idea.

Under Li Ge's will, this lump of soil began to divide into two sides, turning into a shape that was thick at both ends and thin in the middle, similar to a gourd.

And when Li Ge wanted to separate himself further, he suddenly felt a huge pain.

This huge pain is mental.

"no!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Ge quickly restored himself to his original state.

"It seems that my 'body' is inseparable. Once separated, there will be big trouble."

Even if the sea turns into mulberry fields, the land will still be the land.

Time has no meaning to land.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed, and Li Ge was still lying quietly under the big tree.

However, today, Li Ge had a few small mushrooms growing on his body.

These mushrooms are colorful and really beautiful. However, Li Ge felt something was wrong.

"Ding! Energy-0.01"

"Ding! Energy -0,01"

Not long after the mushroom appeared, a series of beeps sounded.

"what's the situation?"

The declining energy made Li Ge blush.

He used his mobility to jump left and right at a speed of one meter per second to shake off the small things on his body.

However, he overestimated himself.

The speed on the properties panel is one meter per second.

However, this is only a theoretical speed!

In reality, inertia, gravity, friction, etc. are all suppressing his movement.

After struggling for a long time, those colorful little things are still tightly stuck to the surface of the body.

“…**%…\u0026\u0026”

Li Ge cursed words he couldn't write, and was furious.

In a fit of anger, Li Ge directly imitated the way humans chew. The place where the little mushroom grew was dented inward, and the other parts turned out to wrap it up.

"If I can't get rid of you, I'll kill you!"

The soil tightly circles these colorful things together, and then applies pressure inward.

Li Ge gritted his teeth and wanted to grind these small mushrooms into powder.

Who knew...

Mud is soft!

Several small mushrooms were tightly wrapped inside without any damage.

"Fuck! I don't believe it!"

Li Ge did not believe in evil and increased his efforts.

At this time, the manipulation of the soil has brought a great burden to his spirit, and even made him feel a little bit of pain.

"Ah!"

A sharp pain emerged from Li Ge's soul, and then the few energy began to decline rapidly.

The body of Li Ge's clay sculpture trembled, and after a moment, the force of the squeeze inward became even stronger.

"The worst we can do is perish together!"

The painful roar was filled with determination that was so firm that it seemed almost crazy.

With Li Ge's firm will, the soft soil seemed to gain infinite strength.

The soil slowly but surely shrank, then shrank again.

At the same time, the little energy left was consumed rapidly.

The soil seemed to suddenly come to life, like a plant, piercing its roots into the mushroom's body, leaving irregular lines one after another.

“Ahhhhh——”

"Warning! Warning! Energy exhausted!"

Li Ge's ears even buzzed amid the system's warning sound.

Give up?

no way!

After what seemed like a century, suddenly, something seemed to be broken with a "bang".

"Ding! Get the new skill 'Assimilation'."

At that moment, all resistance seemed to be swept away, and the speed at which the "soil" took root became unstoppable.

The lines on the smaller mushrooms form a mysterious totem.

The moment the totem was completed, energy surged back like a tidal wave.

"Energy +0.1, +0.2, +0.1"

The energy-increasing beep sounded for a full two minutes before it stopped.

Li Ge suddenly felt as if he was soaking in a warm hot spring, and all the fatigue and pain were leaving him.

"Cool--"

Li Ge let out a sigh of satisfaction.

After a while, Li Ge broke away from this feeling and looked at his attribute panel.

There is one more skill above.

"Volume: 5 cubic meters"

"Energy: 15.6"

"Skill

Assimilation: Your territory needs loyal citizens. "

After using this skill, you can assimilate other objects. But it also requires energy.

As for how much is needed? The system gave an extremely complicated formula, but it’s normal if you think about it. If conquering an elephant is the same as conquering an ant, that would be strange.

Li Ge couldn't quite understand the formula, but he could see three of the variables clearly.

Mental strength, resistance value, volume.

Li Ge made a little guess based on common sense.

"The stronger the mental power, the stronger the resistance, and the larger the size, the more energy is required to subdue it."

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Li Ge tried to swallow a useless grass again.

When the devouring started, the required energy suddenly appeared on the attribute panel, but this energy was not a precise number, but a range of numbers.

"It doesn't matter. If you can't swallow it, just run away. What a big deal."

Li Ge thought casually.

However, he seemed to have forgotten what a donkey temper he was.

Look at his new subordinates.

"Toxic spores: The smell they emit can be hallucinogenic. If eaten, it can be fatal. (It is in the dispersal period)"

This is Li Ge’s newly acquired weapon.

This feeling is very amazing.

These pretty little mushrooms are like his little soldiers. They are full of energy and eager to spread outwards.

At present, it seems that all we need to do is wait for Li Ge's order.

They will swarm up.
