11: Chapter 11 isn't much; it only cost a few hundred million to play.

"Holy crap?"

"I... what did I just see..."

Shanji and the others stood frozen in place, slowly shifting their gaze from the pile of charred remains to the Slime.

That Slime, which they had deemed weak and fragile, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.

Actually... one-shot a Level 6 Elite monster?!

1800 HP!

One-shot just like that?

No, it was two hits.

But no matter how many hits it took, that was an 1800 HP Elite monster!

Shanji and his friends were all a bit unlearned.

But they still knew some basic common sense.

Even for a Legendary-grade class, wanting to solo a monster of this level would take at least a few minutes of grinding.

But what about Lu Yuan's Slime?

In a single encounter, it one-shot this Elite monster.

You're telling me this is the lowest-level Magic Pet Slime?!

Li Meng even cursed outright.

"Holy crap! Boss, how is your Slime so fierce? And its health bar is ridiculously thick!"

That whip from the Fire Treant, with the attribute counter-effect, dealt 73 points of damage!

He, Li Meng, a Level 4 Holy Priest with full Gold gear, only had a total of 720 HP.

This one hit could take away one-tenth of his HP.

Yet, when it hit the Slime, the health bar didn't even move.

It was too absurd...

Shanji felt his worldview collapsing.

"Boss..."

"What exactly is going on with your Slime?"

Lu Yuan took a sip of his cola.

"I poured money into it."

"How much did you spend?"

The four teammates all crowded around, looking curious.

"Hmm..." Lu Yuan pondered for a moment. "I haven't counted, but probably a few hundred million."

A few hundred million??

And "probably" at that...

Shanji almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He was also a second-generation rich kid, but his family only gave him a few million in startup funds.

The Boss actually spent hundreds of millions on a single Slime.

And that's not even counting the gear; they couldn't afford that Epic set on the Slime even if they sold themselves.

It really is infuriating to compare people.

Lu Yuan burped.

"Alright, stop making such a fuss."

"Let's keep moving."

He was still waiting to hear Xu Qianqian call him Daddy.

The Slime hopped back onto Lu Yuan's shoulder, proudly lifting its head.

'A bunch of country bumpkins.'

'This is nothing yet.'

'I'll show you something later!'

Lu Yuan took a fist-sized Life-attribute Magic Crystal from his bracelet and tossed it to the Slime.

The crystal was emerald green throughout, emitting a gentle aura of life.

The Slime's eyes lit up, and it began to crunch away at it.

Its lost HP began to recover rapidly.

Shanji's mouth twitched violently.

"A... a Tier 5 Life-attribute Magic Crystal?!"

Market price, one million each!

Top-tier treasures that others used to strengthen their attributes.

You're feeding it to a Slime as a snack?!

They finally understood why this Slime was so monstrous.

It was literally built by throwing money at it!

So extravagant!

Simply inhumanly wealthy!

The four of them all had complicated expressions.

They had thought that following the Boss in here would lead to a miserable death.

But what happened?

His Slime was a hundred times stronger than the four of them combined.

Dying in bed, I suddenly sat up; the noob was actually me???

Turns out they were the dead weight.

Lu Yuan waved his hand.

"Alright, stop wasting time."

"You four, you're responsible for luring and grouping the monsters, the Slime will be responsible for taking them out."

"Understood!" Shanji's eyes lit up, and he nodded heavily.

"Let's go, let's go!"

The four of them were full of fighting spirit as they pushed deeper into the forest.

The commotion they made quickly attracted a large number of monsters.

Several flaming figures surged out from the woods, gathering together.

Fire Treants!

One, two, three...

In the blink of an eye,

A dense crowd of Fire Treants surrounded them.

A rough glance showed at least thirty or more!

Among them were four or five that were exceptionally large, obviously Elite-grade!

"Holy crap!!!"

Li Meng's legs went weak.

Over thirty Fire Treants, including four or five Elite monsters!

What kind of lineup is this?!

Under normal circumstances, a full 8-level party would be wiped out if they encountered this!

Shanji's face turned pale, but he gritted his teeth and raised his shield.

"Don't panic! Everyone, don't panic!"

"I'll hold the front, Yang Liu will provide suppression from the back, Li Meng, heal me quickly!"

"Let the Boss handle the damage."

"Boss, what is your Slime's skill cooldown?"

"If it's not enough, we'll retreat while fighting, slowly whittling these monsters down..."

Shanji hadn't even finished speaking.

He saw a little thing glowing with golden light hopping towards those Fire Treants.

"Boss!"

Shanji's pupils constricted.

This time there are over thirty!

Even though the Slime is monstrous, won't it get one-shot?

The Slime landed in the middle of the monster pack and was instantly submerged by countless burning branches.

- 87!

- 92!

- 41!

...

Dense numbers of damage floated up crazily.

The Slime's health bar...

Didn't move at all.

But,

It suddenly exploded from within its body.

Dozens of pieces of Slime tissue splattered out like scattering flowers, sticking to every single Fire Treant.

Then—

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The dense sound of explosions rang out continuously.

The explosions lasted for a full ten seconds.

The entire area was churning with flames, filled with smoke and dust.

After the smoke cleared,

All that remained on the ground were piles of charred remains and the burnt smell lingering in the air.

[Killed Fire Treant, gained EXP +18]

[Killed Fire Treant (Elite), gained EXP +104]

[Killed Fire Treant, gained EXP +17]

[Killed...]

System notifications flooded the screen crazily.

Shanji stood there, his shield clattering to the ground.

The others also covered their mouths, eyes wide as copper bells.

Ten seconds.

Over thirty Fire Treants.

Including four or five Elite monsters.

Wiped out!!

And wiped out by a single Slime.

This...

Is this even human?!

No, is this even a Slime?!

Everyone's gaze turned in unison to the Slime hopping back.

Although the little guy's HP had dropped quite a bit, it was very excited.

Its little eyes curved into crescents, and its mouth was stretched almost to its ears.

It felt those four burning gazes and paused for a moment.

Then—

It shyly twisted its body, its little face even turning slightly red.

'Oh my... don't look at this Great King like that...'

'I... I'm not that amazing!'

'It's all thanks to the Master.'
