As planned, I spent the day expanding the cold storage with the help of Ki and the other yellow spirits. Keeping the outer structure intact, I dug deeper into the ground, transforming the storage into an underground, silo-like space. Well, “silo-like” might be misleading, as I partitioned the sub-levels and added a spiral stone staircase at the center of the structure. That currently makes one sub-level, with two rooms in total. Using this sub-level partition method, it will make the cold storage expandable in the future as I need it.

  With the storage capacity settled, as I refill the eternal soup with the new batch of dried slime from the slime boxes this morning, I noticed that the slime noodle from it is not leathery at all and I can technically slurp it. My experience of living in this place tells me that the slime boxes may have some bad side-effect to the slimes living in it. I don’t know if it’s because they’ve been living in a small container for a prolonged amount of time and keep getting fed or for another unknown reason—but since the slime noodle tastes very similar to the normal noodle that I knew of, it’s a risk that I’m willing to take. Also, I’m curious to see how the side effects of living in the slime boxes will progress. I demolished twenty of the boxes—turning them back into slime trenches so the slimes could heal and roam freely—and kept five of the boxes around. I swear, it’s for research purposes and not just for the slime noodles.

  If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  But then again, the current slime noodle do remind me of the normal noodle that I knew of out there, the particular bowl that I eat for breakfast this morning tasted a little bit salty despite I don’t have any salt around. I don’t know why.

  Today’s menu.

  Breakfast: A bowl of eternal soup 3.2.
