009. It's Bug time.

"Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A."

"Umm, Umm, what kind of instructions are you giving the slime? See I told you, you wouldn't be any better at controlling the slime. What in the world does "b, a" mean?"

"Sorry, that was just a personal joke from my old life... I will take this seriously now. Let's have the slime get closer to those weird blue trees."

"Yes, yes, let's do that! I want to see them. Something that is not a rock. I can finally see something new. I wonder if it's poisonous, or if it's good to eat? Maybe it can be turned into itching powder or a laxative to use on adventures hehe."

"Ya.... ok. Well, whatever they are let's have a look."

With that, David commanded the slime to get closer to the nearest plant.

When the slime came close to one of the plants it could be seen that there were several bugs and other small creatures living in the densely packed triangle-shaped leaves. David had never seen any of these kinds of creatures before. They seemed to be bugs native to this planet. One looked like a rhinoceros beetle but instead of a horn on its head, there was a tentacle like a squids moving around. Another bug kinda looked like an ant but it had 3 heads and 10 legs.

"Holy damn, the bugs on this planet are creepy. I wonder how they evolved like that. Well, whatever I guess I should get the slime to eat them to see how much LF they give."

After David had the slime eat one of the rhinoceros beetle looking bugs he checked his LF, but to his disappointment, there was no change to his LF total.

"Duh, Duh, Of course, there is no change yet, they are just common bugs, you will need the slime to eat more than just 1 to get any significant LF. That should be obvious, but I guess you're not really that smart otherwise the goddess wouldn't have had to give you the help function."

"Whatever I will just get the slime to keep devouring the bugs until I can get some LF from them. While it's doing that I probably should take a look at the menu a little more. This thing seems to be REALLY important after all. Hmm, what should I look at now? I think I will go with [Options] for now."

"Wow, lots of options in here. Over 1000 pages! It will take years to look through them all. I guess this is another part of the buffed [Menu] that goddess gave me? Well since I'm immortal that means I have the time to eventually look through it all, but not right now. At least I can see one option I like right on the first page. I can adjust the decimal point that is shown for the LF. I can see how much each bug gives with this."

With that, David set the decimal point shown to 0.0000001 and returned his focus to the slime as it devoured another bug. With the devoured bug David Felt a little helpless as the bug only gave 0.001 LF. Which would mean that the slime would have to eat 1,000 bugs to get just 1 LF.

"Wow, wow we are so lucky to be in this area. These bugs give so much LF. Most [Dungeon Masters] aren't as lucky to get such high LF bugs so close. Most bugs are only worth 0.0001 LF, thats 10 times the normal LF!"

"Really? How do you know how much bugs usually give, and you can actualy do math?!

"Hmph, hmph. I am the help option after all."

"Well, I guess at least we are better off than some others. But I wonder why these bugs have so much more LF than the normal ones?"

"No clue, No clue. Just keep getting the slime to eat, and eat, and eat, and eat, and eat until we have enough LF to get another so it can eat, and eat, and eat, and eat too!"

"How much can slimes eat anyways? They have to get full at some point right?"

"Nope, nope. They can eat as much as they can gobble down. They can completely dissolve everything they eat in almost an instant. If it eats too much in a short amount of time it MIGHT split into 2 slimes and we could get a free second one that way but it's very rare. But I hope we can get one that way because I want more jiggly jiggly!"

"I should just call you jiggly jiggly because you like saying it so much.

Wait.. what is your name anyways. I just realised you never said before. That is something I really should know if we are going to be together for millions of years."

"Huh, huh? Wait, what is my name? I don't have a name? Why am I just realising this now? I want a name! Give me a name! You are my master so you should give me a name? Don't make it something stupid either! If you make it something stupid I will never forgive you."

"What you really don't have a name? Sigh, I'm bad at names. maybe I should just call you Jiggly jiggly after all."

"Noooooooooooooooooo! I don't even have any jiggly Jiggly so you can't call me that, maybe in a few years, but not yet!"
