[Under your tireless daily practice,] [The proficiency of Acid Spray rapidly increased.] [In the second month, that gratifying system prompt finally sounded – the skill had leveled up!] [Venom Spray (Proficient 12/1000): The liquid transforms into toxic acid, capable of poisoning the target.] [Congratulations!] [You now spray further, more, and more viscous.] [A surge of ambition filled your heart (if a Slime had a heart), and you genuinely cried out—] [“Ah-sh*t, I’m the strongest!!!”] [However, the troubles of growth always follow like a shadow.] [You were frustrated to find that the experience gained from devouring Pasture Grass had severely shrunk.] [“Devour Pasture Grass, Experience +0.001…”] [The system’s emotionless explanation followed: Host level increased, experience provided by low-value resources significantly attenuated.] [After some not-so-complicated calculations, you reached a desperate conclusion—to reach Level 3 by eating grass, you would need to chew tirelessly for at least two and a half years!] [“This is even harder than being a trainee!”] [“Since eating grass isn’t working…
what about other things?”] [You are, after all, special, possessing a human perspective of thought.
How could you be bound by a Slime’s traditional diet?] [You cast your gaze towards a fellow creature, Level 3, not far away.] [This was your first true battle since arriving in this differentworld.] [The battle process was much smoother than expected.] [Your acid strength far surpassed your opponent’s; each precise spray corroded huge gaps in its body, taking away large chunks of ‘jelly flesh.’] [And its counterattack?] [Its poorly aimed Acid Spray could barely hit you, with your agile movements.] [With only a little stamina expended, you successfully ‘cut it down.’] [“First battle victorious, perfect!”] [You bounced over to the gradually inert remains of your kin.] [Silently gazing at this ‘trophy’ you created with your own hands, a strange urge rose from deep within your core…] [“Can I…
eat it?”] [The answer was clear—yes, and it was only natural.] [Your body stretched out like putty, slowly covering the remains.] [“Devour Level 3 Slime Core Remains, Experience +1!”] [“Absorb Homologous Gelatinous Material, Constitution slightly increased!”] [“Devour Level 3 Slime…”] [The system’s notification sound was like the most beautiful symphony.] [This successful hunt opened the door to a new world for you!] [A much more efficient way to level up than chewing grass and rocks!] [What is most abundant on this vast grassland?] [Not just wild grass and rocks, but also herds of Yaks, plump Sheep…
and numerous types of Slimes!] [The Age of Hunting begins!] [The human soul within you drove you onto a predator’s path that would seem incredible to ordinary Slimes.] [The initial targets were still those Slime brethren scattered across the grassland.] [The experience gained from devouring your own kind was far incomparable to plants and rocks, and occasionally you could absorb their weak characteristics, making your Gelatinous Body denser.] [Soon, ordinary Slimes could no longer satisfy your needs.] [Your level increased to 3, and your size grew to that of a large dog.] [You began to set your sights on larger prey—the Yaks and Sheep of the grassland.] [To deal with creatures much larger than yourself, you needed more strategy.] [You would lie in wait in the grass, patiently waiting for them to approach, then launch a surprise attack.] [You would jump directly onto them, wrapping your body around their heads, and then continuously secrete venom…] [The process of devouring these large creatures was much longer than devouring Slimes, and the experience provided was extremely generous.] [As you ate more and more, new talents arrived as expected.] [Congratulations, Host, for awakening the talent—Accelerated Digestion (White)!] [Accelerated Digestion: Your body seems to have formed an efficient biological furnace, capable of breaking down and absorbing ingested substances at a speed far exceeding that of your peers, converting them into experience and required energy.
Digestion efficiency increased by 300%!] [This talent came at the perfect time!] [It completely solved your bottleneck in sustained power.] [You no longer needed to spend several days breaking down a Yak; now it might only take half a day to complete the absorption, and you could immediately dive into the next hunt.] [You transformed into a merciless reaper of the grassland.] [Slimes, Sheep, Yaks…] [Every creature you could find became your prey.] [Your Venom Spray, with frequent use, steadily increased in proficiency, with both range and corrosiveness enhanced.] [Kill, devour, digest, grow stronger…] [This became the entire cycle of your life.] [Your level, with the rapid surge in experience, quickly broke through Level 4 and steadily advanced towards Level 5.] [A month later, after you had completely devoured a strong Yak, the long-awaited light of leveling up once again enveloped you.] [Level Up!] [Level: 5!] [After the flash of light, you felt an unprecedented sense of exhilaration.] [This is the power of evolution.] [You, have evolved!!] [You have been promoted to “Great Slime”!] [Constitution, Strength, Agility comprehensively enhanced!] [Venom Spray proficiency greatly increased!] [Talent “Accelerated Digestion” effect enhanced!] “Hmph, a single evolution brought so many improvements.” Outside the simulation, Ray Yi watched with great interest.
Evolution was like a snake shedding its skin; each evolution was a rebirth.
“I just wonder what comes after Great Slime?
Slime King?” “Ding!
It’s Slime Mage or Slime Warrior.” The system appeared in due course, correcting Ray Yi’s mistake.
“Oh.” Ignoring the system, Ray Yi continued to watch.
[Strength!] [An unparalleled sense of power flowed within you!] [You felt your Gelatinous Body filled with explosive energy.] [But what you didn’t know was that your slaughter would attract mortal danger.] [Some Yak and Sheep herds had owners, and the disappearance of livestock finally caught the attention of humans.] [Terrifying legends of the ‘Bloody Slime’ spread through the grassland villages—a monstrous creature, huge in size, bloodthirsty, capable of easily melting cattle, Sheep, and even lone travelers.] [And so, the The conqueror arrived.] [It was a clear afternoon; you had just finished digesting an unlucky Grassland Wolf and were lazily basking in the sun.] [Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis emerged from your core.] [In the distance, a figure slowly approached.] [She wore an exquisite blue mage robe and held an oak staff inlaid with a ruby.] [Clearly, she was not a local herder.] [The female mage’s sharp gaze instantly locked onto you.
Seeing the fierce aura around you, distinctly different from ordinary Slimes, she immediately confirmed her target.] [“Evil creation that distorts the natural order, in the name of elements and contract, I shall purify you here!”] [Her cold voice rang out, devoid of any emotion.] [You felt the powerful magical fluctuations emanating from her, far beyond any creature you had encountered before.] [But the sense of power brought by reaching Level 5 filled you with confidence, even a hint of defiance.] [You quickly contracted your body, preparing to launch the first attack—with your most prized Acid Spray!] [However, the female mage was faster.] [She didn’t even chant a lengthy incantation, simply pointing her staff at you.] [“Second-tier Magic: Cinder!”] [In an instant, the air around you became incredibly hot, countless scorching fire elements converged out of thin air, forming a surging vortex of flames that completely engulfed you!] [“Chh—!!”] [High temperature!] [Unimaginably high temperature!] [Your moisture rapidly evaporated, your Gelatinous Body quickly carbonized and decomposed under the high temperature, emitting painful sizzling sounds.] [You wanted to spray acid, but the liquid stored in your body seemed to instantly boil, making even spitting difficult.] [You wanted to move, but the flames were like shackles, firmly imprisoning you in place.] [Everything you prided yourself on was vulnerable in the face of absolute power.] [Finally, utter darkness enveloped you.
Before you completely died, you only heard one sentence.] [“This Slime’s coagulant is quite abundant…”] [Simulation Over] …
