6: Chapter 6 Have you ever heard that an explosion is art?

Bai Zhi collected herself, suppressing the shock in her heart, her tone carrying a hint of admiration.

"Young Master, your Slime... this power is too monstrous."

She finally understood.

Why Lu Yuan chose the highest difficulty 'Spider Cave' right from the start.

This was confidence born from strength!

This was not a Slime at all, but a divine beast...

No,

even a divine beast wouldn't be this strong!!!

The Slime twisted its body, looking a bit embarrassed.

'Actually, I didn't really do anything～'

But the next moment,

its beady eyes curved into crescents, hands on its hips, acting wildly smug.

'Hahaha, this is only 1% of my power!'

'You humans are really making a fuss over nothing.'

'Master, Master, cut me quickly!'

'Cut me into pieces!'

'Let this group of ignorant humans see what real art of explosion is!'

'I'm going to blow them to smithereens!'

"You've gotten a bit cocky, haven't you?" Lu Yuan looked at it with a half-smile.

"How about I throw your main body over there and see what happens?"

The Slime instantly cowered, hanging its head, not daring to speak.

Lu Yuan ignored it and looked toward the depths of the cave.

"Sister Bai Zhi, let's continue pushing forward."

Bai Zhi nodded, issuing orders to the other four to adjust their tactics.

"Young Master's strength means there's no need to weaken the monsters to low health. From now on, you are only responsible for luring and gathering the monsters."

"Leave the rest to Young Master."

"Do you understand?"

The four replied in unison: "Understood!"

They were all experienced veterans and immediately understood Bai Zhi's intent.

Lu Yuan's eyes lit up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Sister Bai Zhi was truly attentive.

The four professionals coordinated perfectly.

Soon, they forced the five Dark Spiders into a corner.

"Young Master, it's ready!"

Bai Zhi called back.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and stretched.

He stood up, casually pulled the Slime out of his pocket, and gave it a gentle tug.

The tiny Slime traced a parabolic arc in the air, landing precisely in the pile of monsters.

The five Dark Spiders were stunned.

Then they bit down on it.

Boom—!!!

A violent explosion rang out.

The shockwave spread wildly through the narrow cave passage, the resulting air blast whipping up gravel and dust.

-564!

-564!

-564!

Five identical damage numbers floated up simultaneously.

True Damage, ignoring defense!

The five Dark Spiders were killed instantly.

[Killed Dark Spider, gained EXP +3]

[Killed Dark Spider, gained EXP +3]

[...]

A series of system notifications flooded the screen.

Bai Zhi gasped.

Five full-health monsters, taken out just like that?

Her gaze fell on Lu Yuan.

This youth, who had just changed classes one day ago, still had his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed.

It was as if he had just done something insignificant.

"Continue."

Bai Zhi waved her hand.

Subsequently, the same scene played out countless times in the Spider Cave.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

The continuous explosions echoed throughout the entire Spider Cave.

'Master, Master, I want to farm more monsters!'

'I want to level up! I want to get stronger!'

'I want to become the strongest Slime in history!'

'Go call the boss over!'

'I want to fight ten of them!'

After discovering how strong it was, the Slime was completely hyped.

Lu Yuan, however, felt a bit bored.

"Fine, fine, I'll satisfy you."

He casually cut off another large piece from it, put it in his pocket as a resurrection coin, and threw the Slime out.

Slime: ???

Lu Yuan yawned and waved his hand lazily.

"I'm going to sleep here for a while."

"You follow those four and push forward."

"When they gather the monsters together, you are responsible for cutting off a piece of yourself and throwing it over to explode."

"Do you understand?"

The Slime paused for a moment, then nodded frantically.

'Understood, understood!'

'Master, just watch!'

Its jelly-like body bounced along the ground, following the four professionals to continue exploring deeper.

Lu Yuan took a sofa out of his spatial ring and laid down to sleep.

At the same time, system notifications came one after another.

[Killed Dark Spider, gained EXP +3]

[Killed Venomous Spider, gained EXP +5]

[Killed Black Widow Spider, gained EXP +8]

[Congratulations Host, leveled up to LV.2]

[Congratulations Host, leveled up to LV.3]

Soon, two successive golden lights rose from Lu Yuan.

Bai Zhi, who was nearby, was already completely numb.

As a graduate of a top university, she had seen many powerful summoned creatures.

But she had never seen a Slime.

And she had certainly never seen such a powerful Slime.

This refreshed her understanding of Slimes.

Could it be... that the Slime was hiding some unknown secret?

"Young Master," Bai Zhi couldn't help but speak up.

"Your Slime... isn't it a bit too exaggerated?"

Lu Yuan leaned lazily on the sofa, playing on his phone.

"High damage, brainless operation, that's just how it is."

Bai Zhi was silent.

"That's just how it is," my foot.

Her gaze toward Lu Yuan shifted from initial pity to complete admiration.

In the future, anyone who dared to look down on this Slime would definitely suffer a huge loss.

...

Time flew by.

When the sunset's afterglow spilled in through the cave entrance.

The Slime returned, covered in dust and half-dead.

It jumped into Lu Yuan's arms, weakly proclaiming its battle achievements.

'Master, Master! I farmed so many monsters!'

'I blew them all up!'

'Am I super amazing?'

Lu Yuan patted its little head and said perfunctorily: "Ah, yes, yes, yes."

The Slime twisted its body smugly.

The next second, it fell into a deep sleep.

The little guy had farmed monsters all day and was exhausted.

The other four professionals also had weary faces.

Bai Zhi reminded him.

"Young Master, it's getting dark. The wild is not safe at night; let's head back to the city first. You have to participate in the Novice Dungeon tomorrow."

Lu Yuan got up and stretched.

He checked the system panel.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Class: Summoner]

[Class Quality: Diamond]

[Level: LV.5]

"Huh? When did I level up to LV.5?"

He was stunned for a moment, then showed a satisfied smile.

"Sweet."

When the four professionals heard this, their eyes turned red with envy.

It had taken them several days to level up from 1 to 5.

Every day they got up early and stayed up late, risking their lives against monsters, racing against death.

But Lu Yuan?

He just laid around for a day and reached LV.5?

Sure enough, the biggest divide in a person's life is the amniotic fluid!!!

However, upon second thought, they became convinced.

Although Lu Yuan was just lying there, his Slime was truly fierce.

If it weren't for that monstrous Slime, even if they tried their hardest to lure monsters, it would have been impossible to reach LV.5 in a single day.

Bai Zhi smiled slightly and cupped her hands.

"Congratulations, Young Master, for leveling up five times in one day."

Lu Yuan waved his hand.

"It's mainly because of your hard work.

Go back and collect your rewards from my mother; have her give each of you a big red envelope."

The five's eyes lit up, and they quickly thanked him.

"Thank you, Young Master!"

"Young Master is generous!"

...

The sun set.

The alloy armored vehicle drove smoothly, and it was quiet inside.

The Slime nestled in Lu Yuan's arms, sleeping soundly.

Its little body rose and fell with its breathing, and it occasionally smacked its lips, not knowing what sweet dream it was having.

Lu Yuan patted its little head and whispered:

"I asked my mother to prepare many heavenly treasures; you're in for a treat this time."

The Slime in its sleep suddenly opened its eyes, drooling in a daze.

'Delicious food... where is the delicious food?'

Then it rolled its eyes back and fell into a deep sleep again.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh or cry.

This little thing didn't even forget to eat in its dreams.

Just then, a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

[Your Magic Pet "Slime" has undergone a day of high-intensity combat and has comprehended a new skill from Self-destruct: Split.]
