Chapter 478 Countdown: Only 3 Days Left
"elder sister--"
The voice was still that of a child, but it spoke much more fluently and seemed less likely to be fooled.
"What's wrong, baby?"
Lu Youyou pretended not to notice anything unusual and called it as before.
"Where is the Bubble Clan? I want to listen to my mother, I need to see a doctor."
Lu Youyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Zhang Niannian was able to keep it in check; otherwise, if it went berserk again, she would have been helpless.
"The Bubble Clan exists outside the instance; we need to create the instance."
How do I exit a dungeon?
"Find the core of the instance, assemble it, and then destroy it."
"The instance core... I destroyed it before."
Eh?
It seems true.
Lu Youyou was also a newly appointed official and had no idea about the connections between the instances.
"Wait a minute, let me ask."
Lu Youyou took out her identity stamp and asked Robot Number One.
"Wasn't the core of the dungeon already destroyed by the pet? Why fuse it together and destroy it again?"
[The two "destroyed"s don't mean the same thing. The sticky monster destroyed the complete core earlier, precisely to create a dungeon for Wei Tianning.]
Your task is to reassemble the destroyed dungeon core and fight off the external force within the dungeon—the sticky monster, which shouldn't be here.
Hearing this, Lu Youyou secretly glanced at the Sticky Monster, afraid that it would get angry.
[Don't worry, this is your privacy. No outsiders can hear it, and you don't need to make a sound. The identity seal can transmit all the information you want Number One to know.]
Lu Youyou thought to herself: So I have to kill the sticky monster?
[You can also recruit this creature for your own use and create your own instance, but this sticky monster has been modified by Wei Tianning, so its temperament is unstable. How to deal with it is up to you.]
[However, please note, sir, the countdown has a maximum of three days left. The Gooey Monster just went berserk, and cracks have appeared on its body, posing a risk of energy explosion at any moment. Even if you manage to take it for yourself, you'll still need the dungeon core to repair its body.]
Lu Youyou sighed. Being an adult is so hard.
It's better to be a villain.
If she hadn't seen Zhang Niannian's memory bead, she could have collected the dungeon cores and killed the sticky monster.
But after seeing Zhang Niannian's memory bead, she actually felt sympathy for Zhang Niannian and the sticky monster.
In particular, their enemy is Wei Tianning.
This made her feel that she and Zhang Niannian were on the same side.
"Sister, are you spacing out? You haven't answered my question yet."
Lu Youyou looked up at the sticky monster that blotted out the sky.
It has many cracks on its body, and as it moves, one can even see the seven-colored heart inside it.
"Baby, I don't know how to answer your question, but I need to fuse the dungeon core."
"Can't we get out without merging?"
Lu Youyou nodded.
If you want to recruit the sticky monster, you need to repair its body in the dungeon core and completely eliminate its threat before you can leave.
If she decides to kill the sticky monster, she must collect the dungeon cores, otherwise she will have no chance to fight it.
Regardless of her choice, the most important task at present is still to collect the dungeon cores.
"Sister, let's pinky swear."
"what?"
Lu Youyou wondered if she had misheard, so she asked again.
"Pinky promise, I'll help my sister find the treasure chest, and my sister will help me find the Bubble Clan. I want to listen to my mother, I want to see the clan chief for treatment, I want to become a human, I don't want to be a sticky mess."
Towards the end, the sticky monster's voice trembled with tears.
Lu Youyou then realized that no matter how big it could expand or how terrifying its power was, it was still a little child who missed its mother.
They were innocent children who were forcibly reformed by Wei Tianning.
"Okay, hook up."
The sticky monster was delighted and stretched out its limp fingers from the irregular circle to make a pinky promise with Lu Youyou.
"Hehe! I'm so happy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sticky monster turned back into a colorful, palm-sized ball and climbed onto the treasure-hunting rat cage.
Seeing that the treasure-hunting mouse was not as enthusiastic as before, it sadly turned into a thin glue and dripped it into the cage.
Lu Youyou observed carefully for a few minutes and found that the glue was just hanging down and was still connected to the sticky monster's body.
It had no intention of harming the treasure-hunting rat.
Lu Youyou felt much better.
After all, she wanted the Gooey Monster to be kind more than anyone else.
She didn't want to use the fused dungeon core to kill the sticky monster.
Let's just say she's overly compassionate.
The emergency has been resolved, and the sticky monster has become harmless.
Lu Youyou quickly used an advanced vehicle repair card to restore the damaged car to its original condition.
Then, she swallowed a high-grade panacea, and all her wounds healed completely.
This includes fingernails that were flipped over by the metal box when receiving a plush toy.
Thinking of the doll, Lu Youyou looked at the doll being tightly hugged by the sticky monster, her gaze slightly moved.
The doll was tattered and dark all over, and the cotton stuffing inside was about to fall out.
What if it becomes completely unusable one day? Wouldn't the Gooey Monster go berserk again?
"Baby, shall I sew up your doll for you?"
“This isn’t a doll. I remember now, this is my mom. I live in this room with my mom.”
Lu Youyou followed its lead: "Then how about I sew up Mom for you?"
"Okay, thank you, sister."
Lu Youyou took the cotton doll and sat on the sofa.
The doll was so badly damaged that she simply didn't have the skill to sew it back together with ordinary needle and thread.
However, she has special needles and thread and special stuffing, so no matter how bad the sewing technique is, the doll can be restored to its original condition.
She was originally meant to be a substitute doll for sewing up her own wounds, but now she'll probably use it to sew up the sticky monster's doll.
She took out the stuffing and stuffed it into the doll, then threaded a needle.
With a simple explanation, the doll returned to its original appearance, and the dark fabric became shiny and bright.
[Congratulations on successfully repairing the Soul-Trapping Doll. Would you like to distribute it in bulk?]
"Deploy? Deploy it where?" Lu Youyou asked, puzzled.
[As an adult, you can distribute the resources you create to players in unlimited quantities. Of course, you can also choose to distribute them evenly or randomly.]
"Then let's distribute them randomly."
【OK. 】
After replying to Number One, Lu Youyou checked the doll in her hand.
While you're at it, put Zhang Niannian's seven-colored heart, which has turned to stone, into the gift box and give it to the sticky monster.
"Wow! It's a beautiful mom! Thank you, sister! I'll repay you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of intense colorful light erupted from the Gooey Monster.
To be honest, Lu Youyou felt like she was about to be blown up.
but.
She felt warm all over, as if she were soaking in a warm spring, with every pore open.
It's energy transfer!
In Zhang Niannian's memory bead, she had seen Zhang Niannian transmit energy to Wei Tianning in this way.
Half a minute later, the sticky monster stopped transmitting.
It turned into a lump of soft, runny glue and lay sprawled on the rat cage.
Lu Youyou clenched her fist, feeling her strength increase.
"Thank you, baby."
You're welcome, sister.
