On the prairie outside Gruer Town.
A young man, dressed in a tattered short-sleeved shirt and holding a one-meter-long wooden club in his right hand, was crouching behind a rock.
Caelan checked his information panel.
Name: Caelan.
Race: Human.
Level: 1.
Experience: 20 / 100.
Class: None.
Magic: 10 / 10.
Skills: None.
Talent: Spirit Offering!
After a night of rest, his Magic had fully recovered.
In front of him, a greenish, jelly-like creature was eating grass.
There were many other jelly-like creatures nearby; sometimes they would roll to move, and sometimes they would jump half a meter high, bouncing to move.
Jumping made them move faster.
"So these are Slimes!"
Caelan stared at the blob in front of him for a while; it was similar to the Slimes in his memory.
Unlike Goblins, Caelan could see the Slime's information.
Race: Slime.
Level: 1.
Health: 10 / 10.
Magic: 60 / 60.
Skills: [Devour] [Perception] [Acid Spray].
There were also some slightly larger Slimes in the distance, but Caelan couldn't see their information.
Caelan guessed that he could only view information on monsters with a lower level than his own.
Any he couldn't view had a higher level than him!
After realizing this, Caelan decided to target Level 1 Slimes first.
"These beginner monsters in games can actually cause trouble for ordinary people!"
After the blacksmith's reminder, Caelan no longer underestimated Slimes.
Anything called a monster would ultimately pose a threat to humans.
Clutching the wooden club in his hand, Caelan's gaze remained fixed on the Slime in front of him.
He was waiting for the Slime to come closer.
However, what Caelan didn't know was that Slimes have no eyes; they perceive surrounding creatures through their own weak Magic Perception.
When Caelan was three meters away from the Slime, the Slime had already sensed a creature in that direction.
This distance had already reached the Slime's alert and attack range.
"Pffft!"
A stream of liquid shot out from the Slime's body, arcing and landing near Caelan.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle..."
The moment the acid touched the stone, it made a corrosive sound.
"Holy crap!"
Caelan, hiding behind the stone, was startled.
He had no idea how he had been exposed.
Thankfully, to be safe, he was hiding behind a stone.
If he had been lying flat on the grass, waiting for the Slime to spray, he would have definitely been severely injured and forced to 'return to town'.
However, after a brief moment of stunned silence, Caelan crawled out from behind the stone and charged towards the Slime, swinging his large club.
The weapons shop uncle had said that after a Slime sprays once, it needs at least ten seconds before it can spray a second time.
This window was Caelan's good opportunity to kill the Slime.
Who knew that after the Slime finished spraying, it would turn and bounce away into the distance?
There was a group of Slimes there!
If it managed to run over, Caelan would lose his chance.
"Little cutie, die~!"
Caelan suddenly leaped into the air, bringing his large club down on the bouncing Slime below.
Splat!
The basket-sized Slime was directly smashed, and an unknown liquid splattered everywhere.
Then, a white mass floated up from the dead Slime and merged into Caelan's body.
[Obtained Slime soul x 1].
The experience value in his attribute panel also increased by 5 points!
"One Slime is only 5 experience points!"
Caelan clicked his tongue; killing a Goblin yesterday had given him 70 experience points.
However, remembering the Goblin's combat power, Caelan still felt it was better to honestly farm Slimes.
"Squeak!" "Squeak!"
Nearby Slimes noticed Caelan, making squeaking sounds as they bounced towards him.
A close-by Slime directly launched an [Acid Spray] at Caelan from several meters away.
"Time to run!"
Caelan, frightened, scrambled back behind the original stone.
After realizing that the group of Slimes was actually chasing him, he hastily retreated several hundred meters.
It wasn't until he exited the grassland and reached the main road that Caelan, panting, leaned against a stone to rest.
"They really hold a grudge!" Caelan hadn't expected this group of Slimes to chase him.
But none of that mattered anymore.
Caelan raised his right hand, looking at a damaged Slime skin in his hand, and chuckled.
When he obtained the Slime soul, Caelan's mind immediately understood how to Summon a Slime.
He only needed to sacrifice a Slime skin and a Slime soul to Summon a Slime to fight for him.
A Slime skin could be sold for 1 copper coin.
But Caelan still unhesitatingly sacrificed the Slime skin and soul, Summoning a Slime.
Are you kidding? It's just 1 copper coin!
Isn't it great to use a Summoned Slime to kill Slimes?
He glanced around, and finding no one, Caelan spread the Slime skin flat on the ground and released the Slime soul.
The next moment, a Slime the same size as the one before appeared.
As soon as the Slime appeared, it immediately began to gnaw on the dirt on the ground.
After the dirt was Devoured, Caelan could clearly see the dirt particles from the outside.
He could even visibly see the dirt decomposing and disappearing.
Caelan, who controlled this Slime, understood that this was the Slime's passive skill [Devour].
It could digest dirt, grass, and even rocks!
That's right!
Slimes digest things using a passive skill, so the mucus in its body is not corrosive.
Slimes also have another passive skill, [Perception].
It's not very useful, serving as the Slime's eyes.
As for the Slime's active skill, there's only one.
[Acid Spray]!
An Acid Spray that can shoot acid up to three meters away.
It reloads one shot every ten seconds, with a maximum of six consecutive shots!
No choice.
Although [Acid Spray] only consumes 10 Magic, the Slime's total Magic is only 60 points.
After its Magic is used up, it needs at least an hour to fully recover.
"Not very durable at all!"
Caelan said this, but in his heart, he was incredibly envious.
Not to mention that Slimes have active skills, even its 60 Magic points made Caelan a bit jealous.
Caelan only had a pitiful 10 Magic points, which had already dropped to zero after Summoning the Slime.
Low Magic is really troublesome; it would take at least half an hour to fully recover!
However, the Slime's body was really soft; it felt so comfortable to touch.
Caelan toyed with the Summoned Slime for a while, placed it at his feet, then took a lunge stance, pointing his right hand towards the prairie from before, and dramatically shouted: "Slime, I choose you!"
"Squeak!"
"Biu~"
The Summoned Slime cooperatively jumped into the air and fired a shot forward.
Seeing this, Caelan immediately jumped up and cursed: "Damn it, you only have six shots in total, and you wasted one!"
To prevent the Slime from shooting randomly, Caelan immediately used his will to control it to stop using [Acid Spray].
Afterward, the man and the Slime returned to the prairie and launched an attack on the wild Slimes.
