Chen Hai and Veldora traveled to the that time i got reincarnated as a slime dimension through the 'dimensional gate' on the thirtieth floor of the danmachi Dungeon.
Seeing the abnormally excited Storm Dragon, Chen Hai did not immediately follow him away from the vicinity of the 'Sealed Cave' for safety reasons.
The reason was simple: the lower limit of the that time i got reincarnated as a slime dimension was ordinary people, but the upper limit was terrifying existences.
For example, the Demon Lords in the original setting.
Before crossing over, Chen Hai, who enjoyed surfing the internet, had read many 'power level forums'.
The top combatants in a world like that time i got reincarnated as a slime were not weak at all.
If he encountered a Demon Lord at the beginning, like in the anime Cautious Hero: The Hero Is Overpowered but Overly Cautious, he would most likely be sent back home.
For safety, Chen Hai planned to occupy the land around the 'dimensional gate'.
This way, Chen Hai would be able to teleport instantly and avoid danger.
"Host, please rest assured, your skill 'City is where the person is' can ensure your safety when exploring other worlds. Regardless of the attack or method, once you are defeated, you can choose to directly teleport to the 'Abyss Floor'."
The System provided an additional explanation to ensure Chen Hai's safe exploration of other worlds.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hai was somewhat skeptical.
For example—
Is the System's safe teleportation the highest level?
Ignoring all magic and all skills?
"Precisely so. Even if the enemy cuts off space, divides dimensions, or creates a void, your skill will not fail."
Oh?
Does that mean it's conceptual?
Or some kind of 'hyper-metaphysics'?
Directly affecting the narrative?
Chen Hai remembered this being related to SCP.
His 'Dungeon System' couldn't be SCP, could it?
Wouldn't that be mixing up different series?
"This System is unaware of why Host came to this conclusion."
The System did not agree.
"Come on, Chen Hai, let's fly."
Not noticing Chen Hai deep in thought, Veldora planned to get a good look from the air at this great forest that he had spent centuries in but had never seen in its entirety.
"Wait a moment. I'm going to turn this area into my 'territory' first."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Once it becomes my territory, I can teleport unconditionally."
After explaining, Chen Hai used his special skill—Plane Assimilation.
This skill was based on 'occupation rate'.
Since he had just arrived in the that time i got reincarnated as a slime dimension, the occupation rate was just over 1%.
However—
"Due to Host establishing a contract with Veldora in the that time i got reincarnated as a slime dimension, the occupation rate has been supplemented."
The next moment, 1% became 5%.
Directly the same as the Corpse dimension!
It seemed that establishing a cooperative relationship with Veldora was indeed a huge gain.
Thus, the teleportation area, centered on the 'Sealed Cave', had a radius of about five thousand meters.
Within this range, Chen Hai could move freely.
"Teleporting at will, you are truly cautious."
"Of course, I have to be cautious. A certain incautious fellow was sealed for three hundred years."
"Hehehe."
Veldora smiled, stroking his head with his tail.
Once everything was ready, Chen Hai directly used his teleportation skill, appearing directly on Veldora's head.
"You can teleport, so why don't you just take me somewhere else?"
"This is my first time here; I'm not familiar with the surrounding terrain."
"I'm pretty much the same. Now I've become a 'Transmigrator seeing the world for the first time.'"
After Veldora finished speaking, he made a new movement.
His massive body slowly ascended, and with a gentle flap of his enormous wings, a gust of wind rose, rustling the surrounding trees.
Veldora then flew high into the sky until he could overlook the entire forest.
Chen Hai, standing on his head, looked down.
The Jura Great Forest was like an endless green ocean, turbulent yet calm and peaceful.
The scorching sunlight pierced through the clouds, dappling the forest below, looking quite beautiful.
Chen Hai felt the cool air currents at high altitude and suddenly pinpointed an open space.
In that clearing, a few scattered tents were set up, and figures of a size completely opposite to 'tall' were moving about there.
"Goblins, huh..."
Chen Hai immediately identified the exact identity of those figures.
According to the original plot, the Goblins in this forest were most likely the first subordinates the Demon Lord took in.
Then came the Fang Wolves, who held a mere 'vendetta for patricide.'
"Oh? I see a group of small monsters. More fun."
Veldora, below him, intended to go there and play around.
Or rather... to tease those weak monsters, like ants, in his capacity as a moving natural disaster.
"What's the point of bullying those weak Goblins?"
"Don't you humans do the same?"
After being asked by Chen Hai, the Storm Dragon, who hadn't answered, retorted with a question.
Well... he wasn't wrong.
Chen Hai remembered playing pranks on ants when he was in the countryside.
But the Goblins here have intelligence; they're different from ants.
And they are also different from the Goblin monsters in the Dungeon.
"I actually plan to make use of them."
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't it interesting to manipulate a group of Goblins to conquer this forest?"
"...That does sound a bit interesting. If I just crush them with a flick of my hand, this novelty will quickly wear off."
Veldora agreed with Chen Hai's suggestion.
Without another word, he flapped his wings and flew towards the flat ground where the Goblins lived.
The wind howled in his ears, and Chen Hai, squinting slightly, saw the Goblins below becoming flustered.
They ran around frantically, then, at the call of a certain Goblin, began to gather in the central area of their main camp.
Before Veldora even landed, the terrified Goblins all knelt on the ground.
And it wasn't just a simple kneeling.
They leaned forward, pressing their chests and faces to the ground.
"The Great One has arrived!"
"Oh, oh! This aura..."
"The Guardian of the Jura Great Forest!"
"Lord Guardian?!"
"Please forgive our disrespect."
"Ugh—!!!!"
Besides some devout Goblins, some others began to vomit.
Seeing this, Chen Hai, who had landed on the ground, stared at Veldora.
"Can you rein in your 'magicules' a bit?"
"(Li Hao Zhao) I have indeed reined them in. These little things can't resist it themselves, so you can't blame me, right?"
The Goblins, who had been frightened to the point of vomiting, quickly wiped the food residue from their mouths and knelt again.
A strange smell began to waft through the air... Chen Hai frowned and issued an order to the monsters before him:
"Rise. We are not here to destroy your tribe."
Hearing Chen Hai speak, the Goblins raised their heads.
They had only just noticed the human standing beside the giant dragon.
"Th-that... who are you...?"
The oldest Goblin raised his head, asking respectfully.
"My name is Chen Hai... I have come here today to give you a task, for you to complete."
"You mean..."
"Conquer this forest."
Unlike the Goblins in the Dungeon who are farmed for experience by Adventurers, Chen Hai intended to make the Goblins of 'that time i got reincarnated as a slime' the 'fuse of war.'
And the war in the Jura Forest would also become Chen Hai's experience points.
