Chapter 102: So, what about the players in the midst of sliding?

~18 min read 3,418 words

Seeing the inexplicable pity in Ji Ming's eyes, Bai Yesheng stared blankly.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows, lunged over and gripped his face tightly.

"Oh, I finally get it, you brat are trying to take advantage of me secretly!"

"It's just a little pity from my foster father; I don't want you to take it however you like!"

Shaking off Bai Yesheng's hand, Ji Ming rubbed his sore cheeks that had been pulled.

"Your four stats are too heaven-defying, come look at mine."

Saying that, he displayed the fake panel he had fabricated.

Actually, the total of the four stats on the new panel is the same as when he was truly level three.

He just transferred the absurdly high wisdom and charm to vitality and agility, forming a panel that looks relatively normal.

Bai Yesheng seemed not to have done his homework properly; after staring for a while, he still asked a question.

"I'm not sick!"

"You don't even believe your good brother's words anymore; in the end, feelings have faded."

As a result, upon opening the chat box, there was already a compressed file lying there quietly.

On the spot, he was so frightened he almost jumped up, and without a word spat out a mouthful of slime.

Perhaps because he had been earnestly working as a doctor for nearly a month and had developed some occupational habit, Ji Ming immediately started nagging.

【First clause: Slimes use slime attacks when panicked】

Then they encountered the most vicious counterattack ever, the Mysterious Merchant's means were extremely cruel, bloody to the point of being comparable to Mortal Kombat.

This time they probably won't revive again!

"That Wai Shu, you're awesome; quickly teach me how to fight slimes!"

Ji Ming lowered his head, about to spit it out quickly, but then he smacked his lips.

"I know."

【Request for support, this water slime might have returned from studying at Tieba, it's so damn good at flooding that everyone's about to get drowned】

The only bit of extra battle merit was still to earn goodwill by saving the dog-people's convoy, killing a batch of kobolds that ambushed them.

After leaving those words, he directly returned to the dungeon.

In the distance, Bai Yesheng stood with his hands behind his back, beginning to record on a notepad nearby.

"Remember to feed the werewolves in the prison, don't let them starve to death in there."

Bai Yesheng sighed, propped himself up from the ground and stood again.

"Aurora, to deal with slimes you just need to cut them open; come, you try it!"

"Damn, I really won't be a lone jinx, will I…"

Even if he had just personally killed three slimes, Bai Yesheng was already exhausted and sitting on the ground.

Ji Ming steeled himself, using his sword as a shovel, he thrust out twice quickly, directly piercing two small slimes.

As a result, the huge public screen was full of distress signals, making it seem like a MOBA-type game.

But it doesn't matter; as long as you're thick-skinned, no problem is a problem.

"Just a normal level three standard; top players definitely can't compare, but it's barely enough to be considered a mainstay."

Ji Ming also didn't bother arguing with Bai Yesheng anymore, instead he spat and walked over with his sword.

He then brought Bai Yesheng and swiftly cleared all the slimes here, completing the hunting mission.

"Hey you!"

Moreover, the slimes nearby hadn't moved at all, completely lacking any experience dealing with them.

Bai Yesheng glanced at him and smiled.

【Third clause: When slimes are completely killed, they trigger a hidden rear energy self-destruct】

Only then did Bai Yesheng realize belatedly that his four stats seemed to have revealed something.

As everyone knows, humans don't readily engage in violent conflict with other beings simply because psychologically they reject and avoid pain and injury.

"What's good to eat?"

Although he had killed many goblins while preparing for the closed beta, the other creatures in the dungeon hadn't provoked much.

Moreover, at the same time he opened his mouth and spat out another stream of slime.

Since Sylvia hasn't reported any abnormal situation with the new version up to now, it shows the slimes' strength isn't high, so there's nothing to fear.

One of the worst was even flung three meters high by a shovel, and while falling it was slapped another ten meters away before crashing heavily to the ground.

【Buddy buddy, want new resources? Really awesome!】

Heh, Cooper really came back?

After setting up his stall and looking around, there was no assassin making a move.

Bai Yesheng was about to scold him, but saw Ji Ming pat his body and then form another clump in his hand.

Ji Ming then demonstrated three more flawless solo kills, and then handed his sword and shield to Bai Yesheng.

I love players!

Could it be that the players have finally given up?

And now, in my already small circle of friends, it's likely we'll permanently lose one.

Looking at the progress bar that had jumped a little, he asked in a low voice.

Then Ji Ming thought again, took out a long sword, and spoke firmly.

Ji Ming, whose feelings had been toyed with, was furious and directly killed his way back to the real world.

Fist pressed!

Then he took advantage of Bai Yesheng's stunned moment and smeared the big clump in his hand onto her face.

But if he had already taken the first blow, with the surge of adrenaline he wouldn't be afraid anymore, so……

Translation: "But if one has already taken the first blow, the adrenaline surge actually makes them no longer afraid, so……"

Translation: "If no one else were present, Ji Ming could perfectly dodge with just a teleport. But now……"

After being told to watch the gate, Ji Ming, who had been busy for two days and nights, finally got a bit of rest.

Translation: '"I really…… tch!"'

So this time Ji Ming waited a long time, but never encountered a stray gas packet that jumped out on its own.

Translation: "So this time Ji Ming waited a long time, but never encountered a spontaneously jumping-out gas packet."

Their fighting style is actually somewhat similar to certain earthly creatures, which repel enemies by violently spraying a stream of slime.

Translation: "Their fighting style is actually somewhat similar to certain earthly creatures, which repel enemies by violently spraying a jet of mucus."

Having said that, she logged off at lightning speed as if fleeing.

Translation: '"How is it?"'

Although embarrassed, after trying this, Ji Ming also came up with the correct way to deal with slimes.

Ji Ming nodded calmly.

Donning a black robe, he decided to set up his stall that night, even though he hadn't planned to.

Translation: "Donning a black robe, he decided to set up tonight's unsold stall overnight!"

Bai Yesheng gave a half‑smile, then suddenly asked a question.

Worst of all, some key parts were inexplicably covered by a mosaic, making the composition hazy and adding a touch of imagination in the vagueness.

Translation: "What's worse is that some key parts were inexplicably covered by a mosaic, making the composition hazy and adding a touch of imagination in the vagueness."

"Alright, alright, alright, I know I know……"

Translation: '"All right, all right, all right—I know I know……"'

"You're being way too fake."

Translation: '"You're way too weak."'

He took out a shield and approached one stealthily.

Translation: "Taking out a shield, Ji Ming tiptoed up to one."

"So is your value high or low?"

Translation: '"So is your value high or low?"'

The panel is the panel, reality is reality.

Translation: "The panel is the panel, reality is reality."

Her face instantly showed an exaggerated, stiff obsequiousness as she grabbed Ji Ming's arm and spoke in a coquettish tone.

Translation: "Her face instantly showed an exaggerated, stiff fawning, and she cooed while grabbing Ji Ming's arm."

"Hurry up, the night is long and dreams are many."

He remained silent for a moment.

Translation: "He remained silent for a moment."

Bai Yesheng, however, didn't answer right away but whispered instead.

Translation: "Bai Yesheng, however, did not answer right away but murmured a little."

【Let you guys see a Thunder Law King slime; a buddy exchanged a first‑tier item for this top‑quality photo】

Translation: '"【Let you guys see a Thunder Law King slime—buddy used a first‑class exchange for this top‑notch photo】"'

Just like that, he defeated a slime without taking any damage.

Translation: "Just like that, he disposed of a slime unharmed."

It sounds like a good thing, yet all those monsters turned out to be free deliveries.

Translation: "It sounds like a good thing, yet all these monsters turned out to be free deliveries."

"I copied!"

Regardless of the truth, he first went emo.

But in a dungeon fraught with danger, if slimes were really that weak, how could they occupy this plot of land and form such a large population?

However, the slime of its earthly counterpart is far more nasty—either chemically hot, strongly corrosive, or at the very least reeking horribly.

Translation: "However, the mucus of its earthly counterparts is far more vicious—either chemically hot, strongly corrosive, or at the very least reeking to high heaven."

"If you want to try, go try it yourself!"

Translation: '"If you want to try, go try it yourself!"'

He wiped the slime off his face, picked up his sword, and walked back.

Translation: "Wiping the slime from his face, Ji Ming walked back holding his sword."

"I just saw a strand flow into your mouth."

Translation: '"I just saw a strand flow into your mouth."'

But just as he was unsure whether to feel happy or sad, a drum sounded, and some players hiding in the crowd drew their weapons and launched a sudden assault on him.

Translation: "But just as he was unsure whether to be happy or sad, a drumbeat sounded, and some players lurking in the crowd drew their weapons and launched a sudden assault on him."

Translation: "They were many, charging all at once, and it was also a sudden sneak attack; the players this time undoubtedly had all the advantages of timing, terrain, and harmony, leaving no reason to lose."

But Ji Ming himself feels grateful for the camaraderie; otherwise he wouldn't have repeatedly spared no expense to save the Iron Rope Squad.

Translation: "But Ji Ming himself felt grateful for the camaraderie; otherwise he wouldn't have repeatedly, at any cost, rescued the Iron Cable Squad."

Bai Yesheng, who had been nibbling like a chick, suddenly realized and hurriedly shouted.

Translation: "Bai Yesheng, who had been pecking like a chick, suddenly realized and shouted."

Wai Shu, do you think I can't tell you're trying to trap me?

The leisurely strolling slime hadn't reacted yet when a sharp sword pierced its body, and with a light lift it split into two pieces.

It was already late night; many players who had been busy all day had stopped their grind and started idling in the village.

Naturally, there were some who had once besieged the Mysterious Merchant, and even now they were still researching how to defeat the novice village boss.

【Quick, quick, quick, send more people to support here, a large slime has appeared, it's red and will spew fire!】

"Please, if you can't grab, then don't grab! Forcing it here sounds like the old eunuch in the palace."

"In your case, from now on when you level up and allocate points, prioritize HP, otherwise you can't do anything."

Ji Ming glanced at his own stall; today it was very clean and had no traps at all.

"This… I'll just wait a few days, and then I'll definitely grind hard!"

With the system's countermeasure, the rest is just a step‑by‑step repetition.

Finally comfortable.

Ugh!

"This slime… is still easy to deal with, much weaker than a goblin; you see I took it down unharmed."

Ji Ming immediately became alert, trying to get an answer from the public screen.

A handsome beautiful boy was sprayed all over with slime by a slime. zip

However, that melancholy atmosphere didn't last long, because Aurora Dance sent new news.

【Rule Two: When a slime is simply split in half, two new individuals are born】

But slime's mucus, aside from being hard to clean, poses no other danger.

The split little slime tried to spit mucus to defend, but Ji Ming, quick‑eyed and swift‑handed, blocked it all with his shield.

After thoroughly wrapping up today's work, he gave a reminder and returned early to the Clinic.

I was just worried about you, what should I do, and then you kid started right away after going back!?

Aurora Dance replied instantly.

【What is this?】

Looking at the list of players waiting to respawn, Ji Ming let out a long sigh.

Ji Ming glanced around; fortunately, perhaps because the number was so small, the slimes here hadn't yet planned to "form a head".

Lying on the bed with eyes closed, he napped a while; after an unknown amount of time, he vaguely heard footsteps from downstairs.

But before Ji Ming could speak to find a remedy for himself, like a worm, the slime that had been split in half suddenly wriggled into two new ones.

She glared.

【Good stuff, guaranteed to make your face blush and heart race, you can't press it enough!】

???

"Take your time playing, let's aim to meet again tomorrow!"

One can only say that slime truly is a harmless little thing, even a tiny Karami with only three strength can achieve a template kill on it.

"You…"

But after shouting angrily, he still yielded to the other's forced topic change, pinching his chin to think.

Although always full of lies and scheming, eager to calculate everyone around him so they all live in his "plan".

However, from the earlier situation, ordinary ranged attacks seem to have little effect on slime.

But thinking further, for professional ethics, one still cannot get angry with a patient.

"Is it tasty?"

"Then rest well, eat more light and nutritious food, stop overthinking trivial things, if you have anything to say post it in the group, even if you're embarrassed to tell me it's fine…"

Sitting side by side with her, Ji Ming gave a brief pointer.

"I can't go on."

Ji Ming pretended to be disappointed.

Ji Ming suddenly felt a cold breath rise from his feet to the heavens, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

A wrathful sword of seven Qi and blood split the fragile slime in two.

【How is it, how is it?】

Ji Ming pressed his lips together, muttered vaguely, and the sword in his hand dropped.

Although his big door cracked into three pieces, Mouse Kid had already returned.

Ji Ming didn't believe it, but this thing, even when compressed, could still be a few gigabytes, there must be something good.

Pressed.

As for why this thing adds up to a size of over ten gigabytes…

"Ah."

When he finally downloaded and extracted it, he found it filled with pictures.

【(Waving) Already blocked】

He turned his head, Mouse Kid scrambled onto his bedside, raised both arms, and made a fierce expression.

"Ah?"
