37: Chapter 37 Every slime dreams of becoming a nurse.

A fist-sized heart floated in mid-air, pitch-black throughout and covered in blood-red veins.

Everyone was surprised.

City Lord Lu Feng explained:

"The power contained within the demon heart itself is too violent; consuming it directly will erode one's mind."

"This is something the old man paid a certain price to neutralize most of the violent energy within."

Lu Yuan looked at Little Skeleton.

"Now, it is yours."

Little Skeleton had already retreated to the corner of the wall.

Its finger bones gripped the wall tightly, and its two balls of ghost fire flickered frantically.

"Mas… Master…"

"Master, this seems very dangerous. Can I not eat it?"

"I'm doing just fine as I am now…"

Slime lay on Lu Yuan's shoulder, gloating.

"Coward!"

"Isn't it just a heart?"

"Master, if he won't eat it, give it to me! I'll eat it!"

Little Skeleton muttered softly: "You brute."

"I'm not like you. I'm just a glass cannon…"

"If something goes wrong, I'm done for."

Lu Yuan was speechless.

After eating that meal of heavenly treasures earlier.

Little Skeleton's HP had long since exceeded 10,000 points.

Still a glass cannon?

This guy was just a coward.

"Come here."

Lu Yuan forcibly shoved the demon heart directly into Little Skeleton's stomach.

The next second—

"Ahhhhhh!!!"

Little Skeleton let out a painful roar.

Its body trembled violently.

The previously calm ghost fire in its eye sockets suddenly exploded.

It turned into two balls of scarlet flame.

The entire room was enveloped by that eerie energy.

Bai Zhi's expression changed drastically.

"Young Master! Retreat!"

She subconsciously blocked in front of Lu Yuan.

Celia raised her hand, and a ball of golden flame condensed in her palm.

Little Skeleton rolled on the ground, its bones making clicking sounds.

Those dark red veins spread across its body, from its torso to its limbs, from its skull to its finger bones.

Every inch of bone was being transformed by the demonic power.

"It hurts!!!"

"Master!!! It hurts!!!"

"I'm going to shatter!!!"

The black energy grew thicker and more intense.

Finally—

It turned into a pitch-black cocoon.

Wrapping Little Skeleton completely inside.

The room fell silent.

Everyone watched the black cocoon, holding their breath.

"It succeeded."

"The demonic power is transforming its body."

"This process takes time."

"Once it breaks out of the cocoon, it will possess the demon bloodline."

...

The next morning,

The giant black cocoon was still floating in mid-air.

Little Skeleton still showed no signs of breaking out of the cocoon.

Following Li Muyao's instructions, the butler took all the skill scrolls out of the spatial equipment.

And placed them on that twenty-meter-long table.

Densely packed, colorful skill scrolls filled the entire table.

Bai Zhi's eyes widened instantly.

"Skill scrolls?!"

"So many?!"

Celia was also stunned.

There were at least a thousand skill scrolls piled on the table.

How much would this cost?

A low-tier skill scroll costs tens of thousands.

Mid-tier ones range from one hundred thousand to a million.

High-tier ones are priceless.

A thousand of them...

This table alone must be worth at least billions.

That's too extravagant!!

Li Muyao, however, didn't care at all; anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.

"These were all urgently transferred from all over the country last night, so it's not very comprehensive."

"But basically, all types are covered."

"Attack type, defense type, healing type, support type…"

"Let Slime try them all and see what skills it can comprehend."

Slime's eyes lit up instantly, and it looked up at Lu Yuan with anticipation.

Until Lu Yuan nodded slightly.

It jumped off Lu Yuan's shoulder with a "whoosh" and pounced on the table.

Its little eyes scanned the pile of scrolls frantically.

Attack type, support type, healing type, defense type...

All kinds of skill scrolls.

Slime was dazzled and developed decision paralysis.

It turned to Lu Yuan for help.

"Master, what skill should I choose?"

"Heal, I suppose." Lu Yuan blurted out.

Slime: ???

Bai Zhi: ??

Celia: ???

"Absolutely not!"

Slime protested strongly.

"I am a damage dealer, I will never be a healer!"

Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Does your damage output still need extra skills?"

Dive Bombing + Jester Academy + Self-Regeneration!

Slime's damage output capacity had already been maxed out to the limit.

Casting other skills, besides affecting its damage output, had no meaning.

Lu Yuan patted Slime's bouncy little head.

"What limits you isn't your attack power."

"It's your HP."

"Think about it, if you learned a set of healing skills."

"You could Heal while blowing things up, be self-sufficient, and Self-destruct infinitely."

Slime's little eyes radiated a dazzling light.

"I see!"

"Every Slime has a dream of becoming a healer!"

"I want to learn healing skills!"

????

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

What kind of logic is this?

However,

Applied to Slime, it didn't seem to have any issues?

But it also felt like something was wrong?

Lu Yuan nodded, "That's right."

Slime cheered, grabbed a low-tier Heal scroll, and shoved it into its mouth.

Crunch, crunch—

The scroll turned into a ball of golden light in its mouth and surged into its body.

[Skill comprehension failed.]

"Again."

Slime began to frantically chew on low-tier Heal scrolls.

[Skill comprehension failed.]

[Skill comprehension failed.]

[Skill comprehension failed...]

It swallowed several 'Heal' skill books in a row.

All failures!!

Although Slime's bloodline had been transformed by the 'dragon heart'.

Its brain hadn't changed.

Comprehending skills requires insight.

Not to mention 'healing skills', which have extremely low compatibility with Slime.

After consuming nearly 10 skill books.

A green light finally appeared on Slime's body.

[Slime comprehends skill: Heal (Low-tier)]

"Not enough, keep eating."

Li Muyao provided hundreds more Heal skill scrolls.

All of which were swallowed by Slime.

[Ding, Slime's skill 'Heal' has been upgraded to 'MAX']

Subsequently,

Slime aimed its target at the next healing skill.

[Slime comprehends skill: Fountain of Life (Mid-tier)]

[Slime upgrades skill 'Fountain of Life' to 'MAX']

[Slime comprehends skill: Wind of Revival (Mid-tier)]

[Slime upgrades skill 'Wind of Revival' to 'MAX']

[...]

[Slime]

[Level: 17]

[HP: 52033 / 52033]

[MP: 170]

[Attack: 103]

[Skills:

Low-tier: Split, Heal, Slow Heal.

Mid-tier: Self-Regeneration, Fountain of Life, Wind of Revival, Group Heal

High-tier: Dragon Might]

[Runes: Dive Bombing (Silver), Jester Academy (Prismatic)]

[Equipment: protector set (Epic), Spirit Concealment Ring (Diamond)]

...

In this wave, Slime comprehended a total of 5 healing skills.

Slime also made many attempts at high-tier skills.

However,

All ended in failure.

Its level is too low right now to comprehend high-tier skills.

These few skills can significantly enhance Slime's sustainability.

For now, it's enough.

Slime patted its stomach, its little eyes full of excitement.

"I am now a healer."

"Can deal damage and Heal."

"Invincible!"

The look in Celia's eyes as she looked at Slime was full of astonishment.

This Slime could no longer be described simply as 'perverted'.

Bai Zhi, who was also a Summoner, looked even more despairing.

She finally saw the correct way to play a Summoner.

A single casual upgrade costs hundreds of millions in resources.

So this is how Magic Pets are raised.

Bai Zhi now seriously doubted that all her Magic Pets combined could beat this Slime.

...

...

Just then,

In the corner, the black cocoon suddenly moved.
