Chapter 987 Slime’s Favorite Snack
------
[The [Quest System] says they have the other two quests in standby…]
Ding!
[This Quest has been shared with Aquarina.]
[Aquarina Received The Following Rewards]: [5.000.000 EXP] [Water Spirit Essence Crysal Fruit (A+ Grade)] x1 [Ice Spirit Essence Crystal Fruit (A+ Grade)] x1 [Slime's Favorite Snack (A+ Grade)] x1]
[Aquarina] Level has increased by 3!]
"Huh?! What is this?" Aquarina was surprised when she saw items materialize in front of her as she walked towards me.
Two big, blue-colored fruits made of crystal emerged, alongside a strange bag of what seemed to be small little, blue-colored treats.
She got items to boost her spirits and Pyuku, it seems!
"You got your Quest Rewards." I said with a smile. "Careful not to drop them!" I caught them with my Spiderwebs coming from my hands. "There."
I made a cute basket with the items inside, Aquarina was amazed after seeing them, checking their descriptions one after another.
Anybody that get the System has smaller versions of my most basic abilities, such as the ability to appraise items for their details and information.
However, compared to mine, they're much less detailed!
For example, this is Aquarina's item description:
-----
[Water Spirit Essence Crysal Fruit (A+ Grade)]
A strange fruit made of crystals.
Has spirit essence inside.
It might be liked by water spirits.
-----
And this is mine…
-----
[Water Spirit Essence Crysal Fruit (A+ Grade)]
A mythical fruit that only grows within areas filled with Spiritual Essence, it glows with a blue color, filled to the brim with water attribute spiritual energy.
When consumed by a water-attribute spirit, it enhances their Mana and Magic Power greatly, and may help them grow their abilities further.
If consumed by someone that is not a Spirit, it might help them develop spiritual abilities… or if they're incompatible, it might cause food poisoning and no additional effects.
-----
The difference between both was like heaven and earth! But I am still happy they get something out of it… With the basic information she can at least discern something, even if a little bit.
Of course, I can also let her see my detailed description.
"Ohhh, I see! So it can help Undine get stronger? I don't really need it, so I'll give it to her! And there's one for Leviathan too." She nodded. "And snacks for Pyuku?"
"These are weird…" I said.
"They look like the bags of snacks from Earth, how hilarious." Giggled Alice. "It's named plastic by the way, it can take many shapes, these plastic bags are widely sold in Earth, containing snacks of all types. They can last for a while without using any magic."
"Wow…" I said, grabbing the bag.
It had a logo or something with a little blue slime with big eyes, and a smile, very different to Pyuku, and it was devouring these little blue snacks, saying "YUMMY!".
-----
[Slime's Favorite Snack (A+ Grade)]
An otherworldly snack from a faraway world, this snack is the Slime's favorite meal! Crunchy, sweet, a bit salty, and deliciously addictive! In a flash, they will finish these before they can even realize, and brighten their mood greatly!
Special snacks for Slimes, when consumed completely, it will strengthen the Slime's Magical Power permanently by a random amount between +1% to +50% and awaken hidden talents.
If not consumed completely, no effects will be given.
When eaten by others than slimes, it might cause food poisoning and no additional effects.

"This is perfect to lighten his mood!" Aquarina was delighted. "Sylphy thank you so much for this!" She hugged me and gave me a big kiss in my lips. "Mooch!"
"Heheh, it's fine, I did it for you." I giggled, smiling like a dummy too much in love to even think straight.
[The [Quest System] protests! They say they made it!]
Yeah, yeah.
"Pyuku! I got you something good! Come!" Aquarina called Pyuku, as she gave him the bag of snacks.
"W-What is this?" He wondered, still feeling saddened. "Huh? I've never seen a bag like this… It's crunchy inside?"
"Open it slowly." I said.
"Okay?" The slime slowly opened the bag.
Suddenly, a sweet scent emanated from the bag… Even knowing it could poison us if we ate it, it smelled really good!
Pyuku instantly grabbed a little blue snack from it and took a bite with his mouth, it was like our own too, with teeth and all.
Crunch~!
Uwaah! That sounded really crunchy now!
"Hmmm… So sweet!" Pyuku said, his rainbow eyes shining brightly. "Yummyyyyy!"
He made the same sound as the slime in the package!
Without waiting any other second, he started to devour the entire bag, the snacks disappeared one after another until nothing was left.
Aquarina and I were drooling as we saw him eat them, the smell was something we've never smelled before, it was amazing.
"Hmmm~ Ah! I ate them all?! Nooo!" Pyuku cried, licking the entire bag's interior until it began to dissipate into particles of light, disappearing. "Ah… It's gone."
Did this really lightened his mood?! He looked sad rather than happy!
FLUOOSH!
However, my train of thoughts was interrupted as I saw his body erupt with new power.
Ding!
[Pyuku] has consumed the [Slime's Favorite Snack (A+ Grade)] completely. Its effects have been activated.]
[His Magic Power has increased permanently by +38%!]
[Pyuku] has awakened his Abilities further.]
[Higher Level Shapeshifting now available.]
[Can now better create textures and colors.]
[Higher Level Absorption now available.]
[Can now take the form of selected living beings it has consumed.]
[Soul Damage has been healed. Mental Stability has been achieved.]
"Wow, you became so strong, Pyuku!" I said. "Are you feeling okay?"
"Y-Yes…" Pyuku looked at his own hands, slowly turning from jelly colored to blue skin, actual skin this time! "A-Amazing, what is this? I never was able to reach this far in my shapeshifting…"
"It must be the magic snack!" Aquarina said. "Your magic power skyrocketed too. Feeling alright?"
"I am feeling super alright actually! It feels like… my own mind has calmed down too." Pyuku said.
Maybe it has to do with his Soul Damage being healed… But what even caused his soul to be damaged? Only his trauma and loneliness?
Or something else?
