After continuing to communicate with the slime for a while, System discovered that besides moving and bouncing, there was a third command he could give the slime—split.
He could send a mental message and make the slime split of its own accord.
System recalled how he had once painstakingly lured his old slime friend to an ant nest, then collected the slime's gelatin after the slime and the ants had fought each other to a standstill.
But now, a few words from him were all it took.
Once System transmitted the mental message, the slime obeyed his instructions and split into two equal-sized individuals.
As long as he kept controlling the slime to split several times in succession, he could obtain little pieces of slime that he could easily handle and eat.
As for the remaining slimes, before long, they would instinctively attract one another and merge back together.
System stood several meters away from the basketball-sized slime, devouring the small pieces of slime formed by splitting.
This dark-green slime still had a rich yogurt flavor, slightly better than that brown slime from before.
It also boosted his Molting Growth more noticeably.
System felt that if he ate another dozen or so portions of this small gelatinous mass, his Molting Growth might break through the limit of level 13 and reach level 14.
After every molt, System would receive information about the next one.
When he underwent his second molt, he had learned about the third molt.
And now, after the third molt, System had also sensed fragments of information about the fourth molt, though that information was very vague.
System had a hazy feeling that when his Molting Growth reached level 17 or 18, he would obtain the specific conditions for the fourth molt.
System's [Intuition] gave him
