19: Chapter 19, Level 10! My turn, draw runes!

Wilderness Villa.

The goose-down bed was as soft as a cloud.

Lu Yuan lay on it, his eyes squinted into slits, his whole body nearly melting away.

Two young girls dressed in maid outfits knelt on the edge of the bed.

One massaged his arms, the other his legs.

Their technique was professional, and the pressure was just right.

Wisps of holy power flowed through his pores and into his body.

"Young Master, is this pressure okay?"

"Hmm... a little harder..."

"Very well, Young Master."

Mmm, comfortable~

This is what life is all about.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes, enjoying this rare moment of leisure.

The Slime was so envious its eyes turned green.

'Why is it me going to grind monsters again?!'

'Why is it always me working hard while you're enjoying yourself?'

Lu Yuan patted the little guy's head, speaking earnestly.

"Because I only have you as a Magic Pet."

"So you need to work twice as hard. Once I reach level 10, I can summon a new Magic Pet."

"Then your pressure will be reduced."

The Slime was instantly filled with motivation.

'Where are the monsters? I want to grind! I want to level up!'

Zhou Xiong walked in and saw the hopping Slime, a flicker of strange emotion flashing in his eyes.

It really was a Slime, the lowest-level Magic Pet.

The Young Master cleared the Demon Challenge stage with this Magic Pet?

It was simply unbelievable.

Zhou Xiong took a deep breath, suppressing the doubts in his heart.

"Young Master, everything is ready. We will beat the monsters to low health later and leave them for you to finish off."

Lu Yuan's lazy voice drifted out from the villa.

"You only need to gather the monsters together."

"Leave the rest to the Slime."

After saying that, he waved his hand.

The Paladin uncle left the villa with a bewildered expression.

This Magic Pet was a being that could follow the Young Master to clear the Demon Challenge.

Its strength should be very high.

But it was still just a Slime after all...

Zhou Xiong decided to test it out first.

He went deep into the wild area himself, and before long, he dragged back a huge wild boar.

[Spiked Boar (Lv.7)]

The boar was covered in sharp barbs, kicking its hooves wildly and roaring incessantly.

Zhou Xiong punched it in the head, directly reducing its health to a sliver.

Then, he threw the boar in front of the Slime.

"Little guy, it's up to you."

He gripped his weapon, ready to strike at any moment.

In case the Slime couldn't finish it off, or got into danger.

He would immediately step in to deliver the finishing blow.

The Slime didn't even look at it.

Then, Zhou Xiong saw a scene he would never forget in his life.

The Slime raised its short little hand and slapped itself in the face.

Slap!

A small piece of Slime splashed out and stuck to the boar.

Before the boar could even react—Boom!!!

The sound of an explosion rang out.

-1980!

The Spiked Boar was sent flying by the explosion.

Zhou Xiong froze on the spot, his mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.

"What... what the hell is going on?!"

The other Paladins were also stunned.

They were all battle-hardened veterans who had seen countless Magic Pet battles.

But they had never seen this kind of... Slime.

It starts by slapping itself, and then the monster just dies?

Although they were extremely confused.

They had witnessed the Slime's strength.

Zhou Xiong swallowed with difficulty and issued an order.

"Everyone, do as the Young Master says!"

"Lure monsters! Gather monsters! The more, the better!"

"Leave the rest to the Slime!"

Dozens of Paladins, all at least level 20, charged mighty into the depths of the wild area.

Before long, they returned, herding swarms of monsters.

Spiked Boars, Wasteland Pythons, King Cobras...

And all sorts of messy monsters, dense and numerous, at least thirty or forty of them.

They were herded together, crowded into a group, roaring incessantly.

The Slime's little eyes lit up, and it let out a loud roar.

'Explosion is art!'

Subsequently, it charged directly into the monster horde and started frantically slapping itself.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Pieces of cellular Slime detached, splashed out, and then detonated violently.

Boom!!! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The sound of explosions was continuous.

Thirty or forty monsters were instantly swallowed by flames.

When the smoke cleared, all that remained on the ground was a pile of charred remains.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A single Slime.

It took less than ten seconds to wipe out forty monsters.

Including seven or eight elite monsters.

Is this really still a Slime?!

"Young Master Lu... what kind of Magic Pet is this exactly?"

Zhou Xiong murmured, "A genius."

Summoner is a profession type with a very high ceiling.

But its floor is also very low.

Being able to bring out the inherent potential of a Magic Pet is enough to call oneself an excellent Summoner.

Being able to raise a flawed Magic Pet into a powerhouse, that is true strength.

Raising the weakest Slime into such a powerful Magic Pet.

Without a doubt, the Young Master belongs to the geniuses among geniuses!!

Zhou Xiong looked at the other Paladins.

"Did you all see that? The Young Master's Slime is incredibly powerful."

"Get your spirits up and catch more monsters!"

"Let the Young Master see the efficiency of our Paladin Guild!"

"Yes!"

The Paladins replied in unison and turned to charge into the wild area.

Under Zhou Xiong's leadership.

Soon, they herded more monsters back.

Fifty, sixty, seventy...

An endless stream of monsters was thrown in front of the Slime.

With the help of a group of Paladin healers.

The Slime didn't need to worry about its health.

It blew things up with complete abandon.

It blew up as many as came!

Day and night cycled, time passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Inside the Wilderness Villa.

Lu Yuan's face was covered in paper strips, with only his two eyes exposed.

And the faces of the other two maids were clean.

"Four 2s, bomb!"

The busty maid threw down four cards and covered her mouth to giggle.

"Young Master, you lost again~"

Lu Yuan's mouth twitched.

Playing all night, and not winning a single round.

This is too unlucky!

Fortunately, the continuous notifications from the profession panel made him feel comforted.

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed Spiked Boar, gained EXP +87]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed Wasteland Python, gained EXP +100]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' killed King Cobra, gained EXP +119]

[...]

Suddenly, another golden light rose from his body.

[Congratulations to the host for reaching LV.10]

Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment.

It's already level 10?

The two maids were also stunned.

In just two days, two golden lights had appeared on Lu Yuan in succession.

"Congratulations, Young Master, you've leveled up again."

Lu Yuan looked down at the system panel.

[Name: Lu Yuan]

[Profession: Summoner]

[Profession Quality: Diamond]

[Level: LV.10 (8%)]

[Skill: Summon (Diamond)]

[Your Magic Pet 'Slime' has reached LV.10]

[Please select the second Hextech Rune for the Slime]

Level 10, it's finally my turn.

Start drawing runes!

Lu Yuan coughed lightly, stood up, and threw his hand of terrible cards onto the table.

"No more playing, no more playing. Next, the Young Master has serious business to attend to."

The two maids covered their mouths and laughed.

The Young Master is trying to weasel out of it again.
