“I concede, system,” the slime said on the system screen. “As a diplomatic slime, I must keep all parties satisfied. Therefore, I will keep my promise to watch my mouth.”
After that, the system didn’t forcibly close the screen anymore. As usual, Patty didn’t care about what the system did. It would just add to his mental burden, and he liked to keep it empty most of the time. If it didn’t concern him right now, then he didn’t need to know. For other people, they would want to know about secrets because it could concern their life, but Patty didn’t care about that.
“Now, Master. You must use your summon scrolls to summon more of my comrades. They are just waiting for you to deploy them to your kingdom!”
The slime didn’t have to remind him. The very reason why he waited so long was because he wanted to make sure that he had all the summon scrolls he could get for one big summoning binge. That was always an exciting time!
But first, he decided to burn all of his energy to buy more summon scrolls.
[Would you like to purchase 9 Summon Scrolls for 190 Energy? Y/N]
[You have gained 19 Summon Scrolls]
[Summon Scrolls: 71]
HAHAHAHAHA! All of those troublesome things he did with Grammo finally paid off! Because of Grammo and the missions he had with him, Patty gained a +100 permanent energy boost! That meant that he had 200 Energy every day! And because of that, he could buy 9 summoning scrolls every day while still keeping 100 energy to use throughout the day!
And the best part would be when he didn’t have to leave his house, like yesterday. During holidays and weekends, he could earn 19 summon scrolls every day! Right now, he has a whopping 71 total summon scrolls he could summon!
[Summon Scrolls: 71]
[1x summon. Cost: 1x summon scroll]
[10x summon. Cost: 9x summon scroll]
Guaranteed B-class minion or higher with 10x summonsAnd because he waited all this time and gathered all of the scrolls he could, he can now use the 10x summon 7 times! And that was all for 63 summon scrolls, leaving him with 8 more scrolls. The sad thing was that if he had an extra summon scroll, he could make that have another 10x summon, but he couldn’t buy any more scrolls because he didn’t have enough energy. Patty didn’t mind that too much because he could simply buy more scrolls tomorrow after his energy levels recovered.
Without further ado, Patty finally pressed the button and used up the first 10x summoning ritual. As usual, all the stars in the galaxy cluster on the system screen suddenly shot up to the top and gathered into one big ball of white light. Each of those stars had different colors, ranging from the primary colors to the very rare tertiary colors. Patty guessed that those colors corresponded to which Route those minions were.
The cluster of stars finally reached its breaking point as it exploded into a flurry of colors as the majority of them shot back down to their respective places in the galaxy. Everything but a select ten stars were picked by the system and all ten of them formed a circle and rotated slowly, showing Patty their respective colors.
He could see that most of them were gray and had basic colors that weren’t all that bright. But there was one that stood out from the pack. It had a very bright yellow glow with diamond sparkles orbiting it. Patty immediately knew that this was at least a B-class minion! Those sparkles and rings were indicative of its high class.
Soon, all of them shot toward Patty’s head at blazing speeds. Patty was used to this and welcomed the recruits like they were gifts.

[B-class Minion Crystal Farmer minion acquired!]
[Consumable C-class water well acquired!]
[F-class basic element acquired!]
Immediately, he got a wall of pop-up windows from the system informing him of his new minions. The first thing he noticed was that not all of his summons were minions. There were the F-class basic elements and the consumable ones that popped up in his summons. He knew there was going to be an F-class summons, but he didn’t know he could get consumables with it.
[Convert all of your F-class basic elements into Minion Growth Crystals?]
[Y/N]
As it turned out, F-class summons were trash. They didn’t give him any unique power or ability like his other high-class minions. It seemed that its only use was to give him Minion Growth Crystals, which was a very welcome surprise. He always wanted to get more of them to level up his minions, but the system didn’t reward him with it that often. But now, he knew that he could get them with F-class basic elements.
[You have converted (4) of your F-class basic elements into Minion Growth Crystals]
[You have gained 4000 Minion Growth Crystals]
His old minions were still low-leveled, so those Minion Growth Crystals would be spent in a heartbeat. Not to mention all the minions that he would get when he finished his binging summoning event–he would probably need hundreds of thousands of crystals. So although he was sad that he didn’t get useful minions with those summons, it at least gave him these Crystals as a consolation prize.
Next up was his consumables. These didn’t look like minions at all. They didn’t look like any animal–they didn’t even look alive. These were just plain old objects that were non-living. The D-class Simple Bamboo Hut looked exactly like described. It was a simple one-story house that had four walls made out of green bamboo and a triangular roof made of bamboo shavings and planks. It looked to be about 30 square meters, which was decent enough to house one person or a family.
[Consumable D-class Simple Bamboo Hut]
This is a simple structure that can be placed anywhere inside the user’s kingdom. This building can be upgraded and it can be moved from its original position as long as nothing is occupying the space. This bamboo hut cannot be placed outside the territory of the user.[Consumable C-class Water Well]
This is a magical well that can be placed anywhere in the soil that can gather clean, drinking water even if there is no aquifer as a resource. There is no restriction to the amount of water that it can produce, but collection is limited to a small bucket.[Real-world immersion failed due to low class]
If Patty could summon these consumables to the real world, then their value would skyrocket. He could earn a ton of money from selling the water from this magical well. If it can give out an infinite amount of money even in the worst places, then it could be powerful in places like the desert or the moon.
However, they only had low class. If they were A-class or higher, Patty could summon them to the real world. Unfortunately, he could only use these summons in the virtual world. Thankfully, it seemed that these would be useful in the ‘kingdom’ that the diplomatic slime was building.
“Master, those look good! They’re really useful in the freezing mountain!” the slime popped out from the screen and landed on his shoulder. It looked at the consumable items he summoned and immediately wanted him to put them into the virtual world. He had to calm it down and promise him that he would do so after he finished inspecting all of his summons.
“I’m waiting patiently, master!”

“OOH! This minion will be a big help too, Master!” the slime commented.
Since the ability of the minion was only an enhanced puzzle-solving skill, he wasn’t all that interested in it. However, it seemed that the slime needed the minion’s help, so Patty decided to give it a few levels once he was done.
[D-class Fire Sprout minion acquired!]

This minion also didn’t help Patty all that much because he already had fire resistance from Griff’s Teqx. However, like always, the slime was the first one to say that the minion was another helpful little worker that they needed. A ball of fire in a freezing mountain did seem like really useful.
Patty saved the best for last. Judging from the name alone, he knew that he would rely on this minion a lot.
