Chapter 5: Hit the Younger One, and the Older One Came

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After killing the first slime, the rest was much simpler.

Lin Lei continued to push forward.

He then took advantage of the gap and waited for the fireball to cool down before launching an attack.

Another slime was instantly killed by him.

With the buff of a weapon…

Lin Lei could easily attack the slime.

After easily killing a few, Lin Lei discovered that there was something glittering on the ground.

Curious, he walked forward with the slime and picked it up.

[Congratulations on obtaining the Common Skill Stone.]

[Description: Can be used to upgrade ordinary skills]

Lin Lei immediately upgraded his fireball technique.

[Consumed 1 Normal Skill Stone, Fireball upgraded to LV1, various attributes increased slightly.]

Slimes would drop many good things.

Although it was trash to high-level people.

However, for newbies, each of them was very useful.

Especially these ordinary Skill Stones.

It was also one of the best tools for newbies in the early stages of the transition.

However, the drop rate of ordinary Skill Stones was also extremely low.

Someone had tried it before.

The most unlucky person only got a Normal Skill Stone after killing a hundred Slimes.

Lin Lei pondered as he killed the slimes.

He had already killed five, but he had only picked up an ordinary Skill Stone.

He couldn’t be that unlucky, right?

Just as Lin Lei killed ten slimes…

He saw another Normal Skill Stone on the ground.

Lin Lei took a few steps forward and picked it up.

Fireball was too useful. He would save a few more to level up.

According to the drop rate of one per five kills, he would soon be able to raise his Fireball to several levels.

However, what followed seemed to be Lin Lei’s luck exploding.

He had only killed 15 Slimes, but two more Normal Skill Stones had already dropped on the ground.

Lin Lei used all of it on the Fireball Tree.

He only had the wooden staff as an attack method.

He couldn’t use a shield to perform a beginner-level sword technique, right?

After using the ordinary skill stone, a notification popped up in front of him:

[Used 3 Normal Skill Stones, Fireball upgraded to LV5, various attributes increased slightly]

The words ‘Fireball’ flashed.

Lin Lei took a closer look. His Fireball had increased from 2 to 5.

[Fireball LV5: There is no need to chant. Select a target within 20 meters and deal 30+ Spirit x1 fire damage. 2 mana consumption. 2-second cooldown]

He impatiently raised his wooden staff and fired it at a slime.

Compared to the swaying of the Level 2 Fireball,

The Level-5 Fireball Spell was very fast.

Moreover, its size had also increased by a size.

It was the size of a basketball!

It looked rather scary.

The fireball was shot out and killed all the remaining slimes before dissipating.

The moment the slime died, Lin Lei received a series of notifications.

[Killed “Slime”. Experience +10]

[Killed “Slime”. Experience +10]

[Killed “Slime”. Experience +10]

[Main Mission Stage 1 completed. Received Clear Rating +1]

[Current clearance evaluation is C-rank. Do you want to apply for clearance immediately?]

Lin Lei directly skipped the previous string of notifications.

What a joke. How could he choose the lowest evaluation?

He had yet to complete the second mission.

There are different levels depending on the progress and completion of the mission.

From low to high: E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

Lin Lei already had such a powerful positive talent.

However, he still had to choose a safe way to fight.

Wouldn’t it be a waste?

If he didn’t reach the SSS level, it would be considered Lin Lei going easy on them!

As soon as he finished choosing, a new notification popped up in front of him:

[Main Mission 2 has been activated. You can check the details on the mission interface.]

[Mission 2: Kill the Strong Slime (Kill Score +1 if killed in 3 minutes)]

Lin Lei’s gaze swept the area.

Soon, he discovered that there was a Slime with a different appearance in the distance.

It seemed that this was the Strong Slime in the mission.

From the outside, it looked like an elite monster.

It was actually a head taller than Lin Lei!

Lin Lei immediately checked the information.

[Monster: Strong Slime]

[Level: 2]

[HP: 200]

[Attack Power: 5~6]

[Defense: 5]

[Skills: Repel, Summon Companions]

[Description: A slime that is unwilling to continue being weak. After training, it became a powerhouse of its race.]

Lin Lei rested for a few seconds.

He directly walked forward.

He held a wooden staff in one hand and a wooden shield in the other.

He started by releasing a fireball.

Strong slimes were indeed not as easy to kill as ordinary ones.

Lin Lei’s attack had only managed to strike a small part of his opponent that was visible to the naked eye.

The strong slime immediately let out an angry scream.

It immediately entered a combat state.

After the strong slime screamed, ten weak slimes suddenly appeared beside him!

Lin Lei took a look. These new ones had the same value as the slimes from before.

After summoning companions…

The strong slime’s huge body pounced towards Lin Lei.

Since it was inconvenient for Lin Lei to move around, he decided not to dodge. Instead, he raised the wooden shield in front of him.

The strong slime slammed into the wooden shield.

As expected of a Mini Boss-level Slime.

It actually knocked Lin Lei back a little!

Fortunately, it did not activate the repelling effect.

Lin Lei’s arm was somewhat numb.

After the Fireball cooldown was over, he first dealt with the monsters at the side.

The harassment of these monsters was the most annoying.

Although they couldn’t break through Lin Lei’s defenses,

But their constant harassment and attacks also annoyed Lin Lei like flies.

After a few fireballs, the ten weak slimes were defeated by Lin Lei.

During this period, the strong Slime kept attacking him.

But every time, Lin Lei accurately blocked it with his shield.

Thus, Lin Lei wasn’t injured.

However, under the attack of the Strong Slime,

The durability of Lin Lei’s shield was rapidly decreasing.

After finally dealing with the small monsters at the side, Lin Lei launched another fireball at the strong slime.

The strong slime was indeed an elite monster.

Under Lin Lei’s fireball attacks,

He had only lost half of his HP.

Lin Lei knew that he couldn’t be impatient. He carefully circled around the strong slime.

Time passed minute by minute. In the blink of an eye, two minutes had passed.

Lin Lei had already depleted the slime’s hp until there was only a trace of it left.

The strong slime pounced at Lin Lei again!

This time, Lin Lei didn’t dodge. Instead, he unleashed an explosive attack!

The fireball had been brewing for a long time and collided with the strong slime head-on!

The last bit of health disappeared.

[Killed “Strong Slime”. Experience +50]

[Congratulations on reaching Level 1. You have received 1 attribute point.]

The moment the strong slime died, a pile of things exploded on the ground.
