The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also.

Chapter 446 Say it again, what do you want? [Seeking monthly votes]
The slime was about half the size of a washing machine, with a dull bluish-green color, and deep inside, it faintly emitted a very weak, almost extinguished pale blue fluorescence.
The faintly fluorescent substances were densely packed and indistinct, as if they were enveloped by something, with only a few gaps showing.
On a slime, there are no facial features, limbs, or torso, unlike any of the animal structures we know.
It lay there on the ground, like a giant pudding just taken out of the refrigerator.
If there really were such a big pudding, even Baowei would probably need two meals to finish it.
At this moment, the slime, which had been shining Lin Li's flashlight, finally seemed to have a "free time" to react to Lin Li. Its body bulged slightly towards Lin Li, as if it were "looking".
Lin Li slightly moved his flashlight to avoid shining it directly into the other person's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
The face behind the protective suit was expressionless, except that the sound of breathing was a little louder than usual.
He had a bad feeling.
Lin Li lowered his head and stared intently at the slime for a while before finally breaking the silence: "Hello."
At this moment, Lin Li's voice sounded calm and indifferent, but if the slime had telepathy, it would hear:
Do not answer, do not answer, do not answer—
You can't speak, you can't speak, you can't speak—
You little brat, you're a black slave in this all-female world, right? That must be it. You're their hired hand, that must be the truth. Wow, these women are so wicked, actually enslaving you to pilot machines—
"Hello," the slime answered Lin Li's question.
It was in Chinese, and the voice sounded sweet; it was a female voice.
But that was all the words they spoke. It seemed that the slime was also observing and thinking, trying to determine Lin Li's stance, whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"You're a woman, right?"
"Female, what female..." The slime hesitated for a moment after hearing the question, as if thinking. After a few seconds, it made a sound of sudden realization: "Are you asking about the female in terms of gender? Of course you are."
"Isn't the other sex extinct?"
Towards the end, he hesitated, his protruding body slightly turning his head as if wondering why Lin Li would ask such a question.
Lin Li smiled.
System, I'll fuck your mother.
If he could still be somewhat optimistic that the creature in front of him was just a talking slime, after hearing the slime's question, Lin Li was now 100% or even 90% certain that it... it was a native of this world.
Lin Li suddenly realized something.
He thought he was at the bottom of the canyon and had never seen the bodies of any locals.
But is it possible that the discolored, deteriorated, and smelly slimes in the cockpits of the mech wreckage, which they once thought were just intelligent colloids used to connect the pilots and the mechs, are actually the corpses of the locals?
No trace of their remains... They've all evolved into this state, so whether they died after falling or not, whether they died in the cockpit or climbed out of the mech, there's no way they could find any remains on their own.
Lin Li put aside these complicated thoughts, looked at the slime in front of him, and asked with concern, "How are you doing now? Are you alright? Is there anything I can help you with?"
The local woman in front of him was his only way to explore this world and the most likely target for the system's mission. Lin Li was very worried about her condition after experiencing such an accident.
"How could I be alright? I'm about to die, can't you tell?" The slime gave a bitter smile and shook its head—if that thing could be considered a head.
Lin Li: "..."
How the hell did you manage to figure that out?!
You look like a lump of slime no matter how you look at it! You're not even knowledgeable enough to discern the physical characteristics of a slime?!
But Lin Li absolutely couldn't just watch this local die before his eyes. He should at least tell him some information about this world before he died!
How can I—
Since the death of your old friend, you have been alone in the real world, with no other friends. But today, a beautiful young woman suddenly enters your world and brings you a ray of light.
However, fate seemed to play a cruel joke on her; the beautiful young woman's health was not good, and she didn't have much time left.
As a returning cultivator, how could I bear to watch such a beautiful young woman perish?
[Mission triggered!]
[Task Two: Rescue this beautiful girl and heal her injuries.]
[Task Rewards: Physical Improvement: Increases overall recovery ability by 50%; Random System-Oriented Item *1; System Currency *100]
Before Lin Li could finish speaking his concerns, the system popped up its task.
Lin Li's lips twitched slightly after reading it.
His gaze was fixed on the words "beautiful girl".
The last hope is gone; this slime is now a local designated by the system.
System, I'm really lucky.
The torment that beautiful lady inflicted on me last time is still fresh in my mind, and now you've brought me a beautiful young girl, huh?
I'm so grateful you didn't call Shanqing Daoist "Beautiful Old Man" in the last world!
Damn, is the mission in this world going to be a romance story like in the post-apocalyptic world?
System, you're trying to quit pornography, please stop, I'm begging you.
However, it's too early to consider these things now. Regardless of whether the system pops up this task or not, Lin Li will try to heal this slime. At this moment, he's just more determined.
"Your condition isn't beyond repair yet, is it? There's still a chance to heal you, right? Don't give up on yourself, I'll heal you!" Lin Li first tried to ignite the slime's will to live, lest it die silently the next moment.
Lin Liju manifested the "Fire-Nourishing Sword Gourd," first taking out a huge waterproof cloth and laying it flat on the muddy ground, then stepping forward and attempting to pick up the beautiful girl.
The beautiful girl's body was undeniably soft and bouncy, not sticky, and not like jelly or pudding that could be easily cut into different parts with a little force. Lin Li could clearly feel that the beautiful girl was a whole; when he picked her up in the middle, although the sides would fall due to gravity, they would not "drip."
After lifting the beautiful girl onto the waterproof sheet to prevent any substances in the mud below from causing her further harm, Lin Li poured out a large amount of medicine from the gourd and asked:
"Take a look here, see if there's anything that can help heal or alleviate your current injuries?"
"Hmm?" The slime did not resist at all. She just looked at the gourd in Lin Li's hand and the medicines in front of her with some surprise, as if wondering how Lin Li did it.
"What are these...?"
In addition to the protrusion that resembles a head, the slime's body also protrudes into a slender cylinder, which then transforms into a hand-like shape and picks up one of the boxes of medicine.
"Yunnan Baiyao...what are all of these?"
The slime recognized Chinese characters and, after seeing the words on the medicine in its hand, asked in confusion.
"Medicines from Minecraft. Don't worry about what 'Minecraft' means for now. I'll explain it to you later. First, take a look and see if any of these medicines can help alleviate your injuries," Lin Li said bluntly.
The slime shook its head: "I don't know, but I don't think it makes any sense."
“My core consciousness was severely damaged in the tremors, and now this silencing field is suppressing my condition. Without a calming energy field, high-concentration nutrient solution, and stromal stem cells… without these, there’s simply no way to heal my current condition…”
Lin Li didn't actually have high hopes; he was just hoping for a lucky coincidence.
Then a porcelain bottle appeared in his hand. After opening it, there was a pill inside. Lin Li handed it to the slime: "Then eat this. This should be effective."
[Rejuvenating Pill: Can heal all recent physical defects and injuries caused by damage to one's fundamental nature; it can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.]
One of the items in the 【Mall】 is quite expensive, costing 150 system currency for just one.
But after confirming that the beautiful girl couldn't see the regular medicine he brought and that it could cure her, Lin Li immediately bought one.
— Considering that you can get back 100 system currency after completing the task, and taking into account the physical improvement and system items, as long as you can complete it, this is definitely a profitable deal.
"Fuyu Dan" should be useful.
Lin Li believed that the descriptions of "physical defects" and "damage to one's essence" perfectly matched the situation of the beautiful girl in front of him.
"What is this?" Slime asked again, looking at the pill in Lin Li's hand.
"A miraculous medicine that I believe can completely heal your injuries. Do you have a mouth or something similar? Take it into your body and let it be absorbed."
Lin Li pushed the pill a little closer to the beautiful girl, and seeing that she didn't move, he urged her again:
“I have no reason to harm you, and you’re already in such a bad state, so we might as well try anything.”
Seemingly persuaded, she reached out and took the "Rejuvenating Feather Pill" from Lin Li's hand. After observing it for a while, the "Rejuvenating Feather Pill" was directly swallowed by her palm. Her entire hand, carrying the ammunition, retracted into her body and gradually approached the core that emitted a faint light inside.
Lin Li stared intently at the scene, hoping for a change.
Fortunately, everything unfolded in a way that did not disappoint Lin Li. When the pills came close enough, they began to show visible white patterns that emitted a rich spiritual energy.
These patterns spread outwards from the elixir, weaving a network throughout the body like blood vessels.
"Mmm~ Ah~" Whether it was comfort or something else, the slime let out a silvery cry.
Her voice was naturally sweet, and when she called out "Yin," it sounded quite nice.
Unfortunately, considering her overall situation, Lin Li found it difficult to evaluate. Could she even be considered a mutant girl? At least mutant girls have a human form, right?
It really does look different when the lights are off.
"How are you feeling now?" Putting aside his strange thoughts, Lin Li asked, looking at the unfinished task.
"How amazing!" the beautiful girl exclaimed in astonishment. "I can feel this thing healing my body. How can something so small achieve such an effect? It's incredible..."
"It's good that it works." Hearing the other party's self-assessment, Lin Li nodded with a slight sense of relief.
The reason the task wasn't completed was simply because she hadn't absorbed enough medicinal power and hadn't met the system's healing requirements.
At this moment, the pill is still almost the same size as it was originally. If I don't help, it will probably take a long time to fully absorb it.
After all, from the perspective of the cultivation world, the beautiful girl is probably considered a mortal, so her absorption of the medicinal power is naturally not fast.
Theoretically, if I were to help her, she could absorb the medicinal power faster. However, although the encyclopedia left by Daoist Shanqing taught me how to help people absorb the medicinal power,
But that has to follow the body's meridians.
This slime has a trading network.
Master Shanqing only taught me the basic questions, not the advanced ones.
To avoid doing more harm than good, Lin Li thought it best to let things take their course.
If you look closely, you can see that the pill is slowly shrinking. It certainly won't take several days or half a month to absorb the medicinal power. I can afford to wait.
“Now that you don’t have to worry about the injury, let’s have a chat,” Lin Li said, sitting cross-legged on the waterproof sheet and looking at the slime in front of him. “I have a lot of questions about you and things I want to know, and I know you feel the same way about me.”
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Lin Li. Do you have a name?"
"Of course I have a name, my name is Zhu Ning," the slime named Zhu Ning introduced itself.
Lin Liben had expected to hear a more Western-sounding name.
That makes sense, since they're speaking Chinese. So Lin Li nodded and said, "I see. Miss Zhu, to show my sincerity, let me explain my situation first."
"I am not from your world."
As he spoke, Lin Li reached behind him and unfastened his protective suit layer by layer, then lifted his mask to reveal his face.
Upon seeing Lin Li's appearance clearly, Zhu Ning was completely stunned. After a long while, she finally uttered a voice full of surprise: "How could this be?"
"Lin Li... weren't you originally human? How come you look like this..."
Zhu Ning had always assumed that the person inside the protective suit was a human being just like her.
Lin Li: "..."
Go against Tiangang.
However, from Zhu Ning's perspective, that's also true.
"I am human, at least I am human in my world, my world..."
Lin Lihe, like those in the post-apocalyptic world and the cultivation world, did not conceal his origins.
He directly told Zhu Ning about the general situation of Earth and his ability to travel between the two worlds.
"...In short, I've been wandering around the bottom of this canyon for about twenty hours, but I haven't seen any living creatures until you appeared."
"I have almost zero understanding of my current situation and the situation in your world, so I hope you can give me some answers and explanations."
When Lin Li finished speaking, Zhu Ning remained silent.
She held a stack of cell phones in her "hand," staring at this brand-new, yet still functioning, technological product, along with the locally stored videos and photos documenting the existence of Earth. She remained in a daze for a long time.
Lin Li thought this was normal, so he didn't urge them but waited quietly.
Anyway, I can stay in this world for another seven hours, so there's plenty of time.
"Surprisingly... such an amazing thing actually exists..."
Zhu Ning looked at her phone and muttered to herself. Then, her body slowly wriggled and deformed, gradually turning into the outline of a human.
It's just an outline. Although you can see the distinction between limbs, body, and facial features, it's very rough. The details don't stand up to scrutiny yet. The fingers on the hands are like the webbed feet of a duck, with connections between them. The feet don't have toes; they're just columnar shapes. There are no facial features on the head either.
To someone who doesn't know better, it's quite frightening at first glance.
"The recovery is not enough..."
After Zhu Ning muttered something to himself again, the human body that had just transformed softened back into a lump, but the head was preserved and clear, realistic facial features appeared.
But a semi-transparent human head followed by a lump of flesh was even more horrifying.
Zhu Ning looked at Lin Li: "So, Mr. Lin Li, your world has two genders, and you are the legendary male, right?"
“Yes,” Lin Li nodded in agreement with Zhu Ning, “I am the legendary high-quality man.”
"Male... The last time I heard that word was in history class when I was a kid," Zhu Ning remarked, then glanced at her phone, then looked down at the pill still being digested inside her, and looked at Lin Li with admiration.
"So, Mr. Lin Li, has the technology and medical level of your world developed to such a powerful extent?"
"A 'cell phone' that can still function normally within a silenced field, and a medical method that can heal my injuries with just a small 'pill' without any assistance..."
“No, that’s not it,” Lin Li shook his head.
"The fact that this phone works normally probably means that its technology tree is completely different from yours, so the 'silent field' you mentioned can't restrict the technological products of our world."
"As for this pill, as I said before, I can travel and wander through multiple worlds, and my superpowers occasionally grant me things from these worlds. This pill is one of them and does not belong to my original world."
"Actually, I also have products of your world, which are also given to me by my superpowers."
"A product of our world? What is it?" Zhu Ning snapped out of her shock and looked at Lin Li with some curiosity.
"Mechs, and some supporting facilities."
Lin Li snapped his fingers, and the next second, the A+ combat armor appeared and stood upright beside the two of them.
“Dawn 2? No, something seems different?” Zhu Ning exclaimed.
"I don't know what you call it. My ability simply describes it as an A+ combat armor. Also, since it originates from your world, it follows your world's rules. When I tried to pilot it at the bottom of the canyon, a warning popped up saying that due to the presence of a 'silence field,' control was restricted, movement was very slow, let alone flying."
Lin Li shrugged and explained calmly.
"Can you also pilot armor, in your human form?" Zhu Ning was taken aback upon hearing this, turned to look at Lin Li, and slowly asked.
"Yes."
Seeing is believing. With a thought, Lin Li opened the mecha hatch and jumped into the cockpit to speed up the process.
Waiting for the slime-like substance to envelop him again, the red warning signs on the screen remained unchanged.
"Silent field! Power system stagnation!"
"Silence Zone! Energy weapons are temporarily unusable!"
"Silent field! Neural connection system blocked!"
"..."
Since the last time they piloted the mechs at the bottom of the canyon, Lin Li's mech synchronization index has increased significantly due to the mission, but the actual control of the mechs still feels extremely sluggish, though it's only slightly better than before.
Looking at Zhu Ning, Lin Li slowly spread out the mecha's hands: "Hmm."
Zhu Ning's voice was filled with disbelief:
"A man... can actually pilot a mecha? And an A-rank one at that? That's not what we learned in history class..."
"And it's directly Grade A..."
After starting to talk to Lin Li, Zhu Ning began talking to herself much more often.
After seeing Lin Li dismount from his mecha, Zhu Ning looked at him seriously and asked, "Mr. Lin Li, can you see what your mecha's synchronization index is?"
"80%, the mech displays 160%," Lin Li told him, then asked curiously, "How does this number compare to your world? Is it considered high or low?"
Zhu Ning was stunned again.
Three seconds later, she prostrated herself on the ground and pleaded loudly with Lin Li:
"Mr. Lin Li, if it were possible, could you please give me one of your promotion tools? It would be very important to me and to my country!!!"
Lin Li ☉_☉: "What do you want?"
Zhu Ning: "Please! Hand over your promotion device to me!!!"
Lin Li: "(゜▽゜)?"
