Slime simulator

The internal war in the Duchy of Grokast broke out. Due to Cabanas's internal and external cooperation, it wasn't too difficult to seize the residences of those princes; all that was needed was time.

After settling the overall situation, Suk left the Duchy of Grokast and returned to the Duchy of Kern.

Currently, although the situation in the duchy is stable, this war with the Duchy of Grokast has stirred up the hearts of some unruly people within the duchy.

Various rumors are spreading wildly within the duchy.

Suk knew that it was time to clean up another batch.

Under Suk's call, magical beasts patrolled various cities, and once they discovered anyone or anything that maliciously provoked or attempted to rebel, they immediately reported it and dealt with it.

For a time, a purge operation within the entire Duchy of Kern was also secretly and rapidly carried out.

……

More than ten days later, the internal purge operation ended.

A system notification appeared.

«Achievement, Effect 3 unlocked.»

With the appearance of this notification, Suk was stunned for a moment.

Then, he immediately opened the achievement bar and found this achievement.

：

Effect 1: Subordinate loyalty increased by 10%.

Effect 2: When subduing a target, the success rate is increased by 15%.

Effect 3: Duchy development speed increased by 15%.

(Note 1: This achievement is not affected by any negative status.)

(Note 2: This achievement is an upgradeable achievement.)

The previously unknown Effect 3 now had a line of text.

“Duchy development speed…increased by 15%?!”

Suk stared blankly at this line of text.

What…does this mean?

This thing can be improved by the system?

Suk's face was full of doubt.

The doubt had just ended, and it wasn't long before Amira's hurried figure ran in from outside.

“Kern, Kern.”

Suk looked at Amira's appearance and knew that something had happened.

“What's wrong? Amira.”

Amira said extremely quickly, “A major change has occurred in the duchy!”

Suk immediately became nervous.

Amira then said, “The crops in the duchy that originally needed a month to ripen suddenly ripened completely in a few minutes.”

“In addition, the ore that was originally extremely difficult to mine suddenly became very easy to extract.”

“And other things…”

The more Amira said, the more excited she became. In the end, she was so excited that she was trembling all over.

Suk looked at Effect 3.

“So…that's what it means?”

Suk looked at Amira, “I know.”

Seeing Suk's calm expression, Amira was stunned for a moment, “You…know what's going on?”

Suk nodded, “I signed a contract with the gods, and the gods promised to help the duchy have good weather and rapid development.”

Amira's expression changed, and then she knelt down.

“Your subject sincerely thanks you for your dedication on behalf of the people of the duchy!”

Suk waved his hand, “Taking advantage of this good opportunity to quickly develop the duchy is the most important thing.”

Amira nodded immediately. After getting up again, her eyes were full of fighting spirit.

Now that there is a BUFF for accelerated development, it would be difficult for the duchy not to become strong.

Perhaps…

What Suk said on the magic airship that day was not impossible.

Maybe, one day, the duchy can really remove the word 'duchy' and become a kingdom no less than the Katell Kingdom.

The beautiful fantasy lingered in Amira's mind for a moment before being deeply etched like a knife.

Amira knew that if she wanted to make this a reality, she needed to double her efforts from now on!

The duchy wanting to leap into a kingdom is not as simple as just talking about it.

……

Less than three days after a peaceful life continued, new troubles came to Suk.

This trouble caught Suk a little off guard.

“Your Majesty, the Katell Kingdom's arrival this time is aggressive and not so easy to provoke. Are you sure you want to meet now?”

The person who came to report was Ivini.

Since Suk mentioned Andrea and Ivini last time, Amira had extracted the two from the potion shop system, brought them by her side, and had them study in the cabinet.

During this period of time, the two women have gradually been able to handle some things, greatly reducing Amira's pressure.

She doesn't have to come to Suk to report everything every day, reducing some of the workload.

This reporting task fell on Ivini.

The operation of the potion shop and the recent study in the cabinet have given Ivini an aura of a female elite.

Although still somewhat immature compared to Amira, she can already stand alone.

Listening to Ivini's words, Suk nodded, “If it is a blessing, it is not a curse; if it is a curse, it cannot be avoided.

They came aggressively, but they still have to be sent away.”

Ivini responded and retreated.

……

An hour later, Suk met the envoy from the Katell Kingdom.

An old man, followed by a cloaked man.

Seeing that there were only two people, Suk was a little surprised.

In Ivini's description, the number of envoys from the Katell Kingdom this time was not small, as many as a dozen.

Now, only these two have come to see him.

Suk's gaze swept over the cloaked man's attire and the unfathomable aura on his body, and he immediately thought of the last simulation.

Could it be…

This cloaked man is the eighth-order powerhouse of the Katell Kingdom who was guarding next to the blooming of the Polix Flower?

Perhaps noticing Suk's gaze, the cloaked man slightly raised his head and met Suk's gaze.

In just an instant, Suk felt his body shake, and his thinking seemed to stagnate at this moment.

Not an ordinary eighth-order powerhouse!!!

Suk immediately withdrew his gaze.

The cloaked man was a little surprised.

This beast king, with only the aura of a seventh-order level one, can still look away under his deliberate mental gaze.

Interesting…

The old man in front of the cloaked man did not notice the small movements of the two. After walking to the center of the palace, he bowed slightly.

“I am Prince Dalton of the Katell Kingdom. It is an honor to see the legendary beast king for the first time.”

Suk smiled.

This old man is implying that he didn't let him in right away.

“Prince Dalton, as an envoy of the Katell Kingdom, has come from afar. As the host, I should prepare well.

Just now, I have asked people to prepare a banquet, just waiting for you to be seated.”

Seeing that Suk, as a magical beast, was as experienced as a human in his words, Dalton lost his interest in beating around the bush, put away his smile, and said coldly.

“A banquet is not necessary.”

“I am here to inform you of one thing.”

Dalton's tone was extremely impolite, with a strong condescending aura.

Suk didn't care and still smiled.

Dalton continued, “As a newly promoted duchy, according to the Katell Kingdom's method of managing subordinate duchies, the Duchy of Kern needs to pay 30% of its total annual income as tribute to the duchy for five consecutive years. Do you know that?”

The smile on Suk's face froze.

Thirty percent?!

Damn it.

The entire duchy can only make a profit of 30% in a year, which is already very good.

Paying 30% is equivalent to the duchy working for nothing for a year, and even subsidizing it.

Even a normal duchy cannot afford it, let alone the Duchy of Kern, which is still under development and needs resources and money everywhere.

“Thirty percent? Prince Dalton, how come I don't know when the kingdom had this management method?”
