Everyone’s an Overlord: I Have the Military Unit Editor! - Chapter 19
Chapter 19: Edit! Soft Water Slime!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A bold thought occurred to Rene.
After he created the Mud Monster, the body part that was cut off would turn into mud.
Then, if he used the same method to edit the slimes and water resources, would he directly obtain slimes that could produce water?
“That’s possible.”
The slime itself was a relatively diluted mucus. If he turned this mucus into water, then the cut part could definitely be drinkable.
At the thought of this, Rene’s eyes lit up.
He quickly opened the trading platform.
He posted his purchase request.
————
[Seller]: Rene (0401)
[Trading Good]: 1 Iron Piece
[Requirement: 1 Slime]
[Storage]: 10
[Remarks]: If you have the blueprint for creating the slime’s lair, please private chat.

At this stage, the slimes were basically useless monsters, but iron could be used to exchange for blades.
Therefore, the moment this information appeared on the trading platform…
The entire chat channel was in an uproar.
“Gosh! There’s actually someone buying slimes!”
“Iron is a rare resource. Boss Rene is using it to exchange for slimes?”
“Gosh! Which idiot is talking nonsense on the world channel? I didn’t even get a unit of iron.”
“He’s indeed the richest man in the world. Only Boss Rene can be so generous.”
Countless emotions could be felt in the chat.
At the same time, there were also countless comments in Rene’s private message.
Their goal was obvious. They wanted to use their slime to exchange for iron pieces or even directly exchange for the machete.
Unfortunately, this was different from trading materials.
There was a limit to the number of soldiers one could exchange.
Even if Rene wanted to exchange for more slimes, he could not make a deal now.
However, Rene still carefully checked all the private messages. He wanted to find some surprises, such as the “Blueprint for the Slime Lair”.
But that did not happen.
Instead, all the iron pieces on the trading platform were traded away instantly.
Ten lovely slimes appeared in front of Rene.
He stood up from the throne and led the slimes out of the Overlord’s Hall.
He came to the fire in the territory.
There was boiling water.
“I wonder if I can achieve the result I want.”
Rene took a deep breath, then opened the Military Unit Editor and put the slime into the first option.
Then, he chose some drinking water from the wooden container in front of him.
Soon, the editor formula appeared.
[Formula: (Slime) + (Processed Drinking Water) = (???)]
[The fee is 10 silver coins. Would you like to confirm this edit?]
It was the same cost as before.
Without any hesitation, he chose to edit.
The two materials turned into light and fused together. They extended along the formula and finally condensed in the last panel.
Ding!
[Edited successfully!]
[Congratulations on obtaining a Rank 1 Soldier: Soft Water Slime!]
With that, the light vanished.
What appeared in front of Rene was a very soft liquid creature. If not for the membrane blocking it, it would have been a pool of liquid that had splattered on the ground.
This image was very similar to Rene’s estimations. If nothing unexpected happened, it would definitely be able to fulfill his needs.

[Description]: After surviving in the moist environment for too long, the slime’s overall shape has undergone a special change. It is like a pool of useless water that cannot harm anyone.

“There’s hope!”
Be it from the interface or appearance, it gave him great anticipation.
He took out his machete and readied himself. Whether it succeeded or not depended on this.
Rene slashed down.
Pop!
When the blade struck the soft water slime, the part that was cut off exploded like a bubble.
It turned into a pool of liquid and splattered on the ground.
Rene immediately used appraisal on the liquid on the ground.
The next second, his eyes widened in surprise.
“It’s drinking water!”
The panel showed that the pool of water was drinking water that had been splattered on the ground.
In other words, its quality had completely reached a usable standard!
“If I place it in the river water in the wilderness, can I filter the poison inside?” Rene pondered.
This was a critical question.
This was because the soft water slime needed to absorb water to recover its body. Putting it in the river would definitely be the fastest way to recover.
But there was also a problem with this: the poison in the water.
If it could filter out the poison, the soft water slime would be even more valuable.
To be able to do this, it would be a water source filter in the future. It could provide clean drinking water for a territory.
Water was the source of all things.
Even if high-level soldiers were not afraid of the weak poison in the water, the laborers and technicians in the territory could not take it.
Therefore, a filter that could cleanse the water source was a necessary tool for any territory.
“Let’s give it a try first.”
Rene led the slime to a pool some distance from the territory.
This was not within the absolute safety range of the territory.
Therefore, it was basically certain that there were plant pollen and other poisonous microorganisms inside.
Rene dug a small waterhole around the pool and let the slime soak in it.
Unlike absorbing the moisture in the air, the water in the pool would be absorbed by the soft water slime faster.
From the initial injured state to full recovery, it took a total of 30 minutes.
This was one and a half hours less than the Fire Rune Slime.
It could produce 1,000 ml of water at one time.
Next, Rene let a laborer drink the water.
After a period of testing, Rene was certain that the water was not poisonous.
“Very good. First, I’ll use the drinking water to exchange for wood.”
“Then, I’ll use wood to exchange for fire runes and wood runes.”
With that in mind, Rene edited the other slimes into soft water slimes and arranged them in the same way.
Finally, he opened the trading platform and sent out the produced clean water blobs.
