Adrian saw the two women, but they didn't seem to see him.
"They're alive, working as tavern waitresses again, and will slowly get back on track!"
Thinking this, Adrian turned and left the tavern.
Adrian wasn't close to them to begin with; besides some 'camaraderie' from fleeing together, they were all strangers.
Now he still needed to level up, earn money to heal his severed finger, go to Valkam to become a Professional, and even wanted to open the first Adventurers' Guild in this Another World.
Perhaps they would never cross paths again.
Lia held Lora's hand, and as if sensing something, she turned to look towards the door, her ponytail swaying behind her.
Seeing this, Lora softly asked, "Sister Yan, what's wrong?"
"Nothing!" By the time Lia turned her head, Adrian had already left, so she naturally didn't see him.
"Let's work hard! The boss was kind enough to take us in, providing food and lodging. We can't be lazy."
"Understood, Sister Yan!"
...
Adrian returned to the slum and found the spot where he had slept yesterday. Seeing that it hadn't been occupied, he walked in, leaned against the corner, and fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already turning light.
Adrian shivered, rubbed his shoulders, and cursed, "The weather is so cold!"
Although his short-sleeved shirt was clean, it was tattered and offered no protection against the cold!
"If only I hadn't lost my trench coat!"
Adrian sneezed, checked that he hadn't lost anything, and then left the slum.
It wasn't that Adrian didn't want to buy clothes, but they were simply too expensive.
A simple coarse cloth shirt was being sold for 80 copper coins at the tailor's shop!
But given the current situation, he would have to buy clothes this afternoon; otherwise, catching a cold would be more trouble than it was worth.
Seeing that the bakery was open, Adrian bought three black bread, asked the shopkeeper for a bowl of water, and after finishing his breakfast, set off towards the grassland outside the town.
Upon reaching his destination, Adrian immediately released the five Level 3 Summon Slimes he had put away yesterday.
"Go~, for Adrian 's advancement, Summon Slimes, attack!"
Adrian held his stick in his right hand, looking at the Slimes on the grassland with a gleam in his eyes.
"Squeak!"
The Summon Slimes showed no hesitation to Adrian 's command and immediately approached the surrounding wild Slimes.
Adrian himself was not idle; he swung his stick, constantly searching for targets.
Now at Level 3, Adrian 's reaction speed had improved significantly.
Even if a Slime sprayed Acid Spray at him, he could dodge in time.
Any Slime whose information panel he could view was a one-hit kill for Adrian !
As for higher-level Slimes whose information panel he couldn't see...
Adrian simply didn't go near them. Heh, he was just playing around!
What could you do to Adrian ?
"Oh, I'm still very powerful!"
Bending down to pick up the Slime skin from the Slime he had smashed to death, Adrian was somewhat surprised.
Perhaps the Giant Slime had put too much pressure on him last time, causing Adrian , even after reaching Level 3 yesterday afternoon, to still hide behind and pick off isolated Slimes.
Just now, he had charged directly at three Slimes, instantly smashing one to death, then using Acid Spray to take down another, before rolling to perfectly dodge the last Slime's Acid Spray and twisting to smash it to death with his stick!
Although they were all Level 1 Slimes, each one still provided him with 1 experience point and 1 copper coin!
At the same time, his five Summons had taken down several Slimes in quick succession.
His experience instantly increased by 8 points!
"Only 11 more experience points to Level 4!"
Adrian licked his lips, gripped his stick, and transformed into a Slime killer, beginning his slaughter.
[Obtained Slime soul × 1, Experience + 1]
[Obtained Slime soul × 1, Experience + 1]
[Obtained Slime soul × 1, Experience + 2]
...
In just a few minutes, Adrian leveled up.
Name: Adrian .
Race: Human
Level: 4
Experience: 0 / 400
Profession: None
Magic Power: 12 / 40
Skills: [Low-level Perception], [Acid Spray]
Talent: [Spirit Offering]
Magic Power limit increased by another ten points!
However, looking at the attributes of the Level 4 Slime he had just Summoned, Adrian couldn't smile.
Race: Slime
Level: 4
Health: 40 / 40
Magic Power: 200 / 200
Skills: [Devour], [Perception], [Acid Spray]
The Level 4 Summon Slime had noticeably increased in size; previously, it was only the size of a vegetable basket, but now it had reached fifty centimeters, making it difficult for Adrian to even pick it up!
The reason Adrian couldn't smile was due to the Slime's Magic Power increase.
"I know, Slimes are magical creatures, so higher Magic Power is normal. But why do I only gain 10 Magic Power per level, while it gains 50 points? Am I forced to be a Summoner who hides behind his Summons?
Damn it, there's no Summoner among the six Professions!"
Adrian was both annoyed and pleased by this.
Annoyed that he wasn't 'durable' enough!
Pleased that the more Magic Power the Summon Slime had, the more Acid Spray it could fire.
"Ah! I want to go to the city!"
Adrian smashed a Level 2 Slime to death.
"I want to heal my left hand!"
Adrian smashed another Level 1 Slime to death.
"I want to earn money, I want to become a Professional!"
Adrian smashed yet another Level 1 Slime to death.
"So, Slimes, don't blame me! Your sacrifices are all for the great Adrian ~!"
The neurotic Adrian kept talking to the dead Slimes, and the Slimes on the grassland were rapidly turning into Slime skins!
Half an hour later, Adrian 's Magic Power was fully restored, and he replaced all his Summons with Level 4 Slimes.
However, Level 1 and 2 Slimes on the grassland now only provided 1 experience point, and Level 3 Slimes only provided 2 experience points.
But you might only encounter one Level 3 Slime after killing dozens!
He had only seen one Level 4 wild Slime from morning until now.
He had collected quite a few souls and skins, but the experience gain was too slow.
After three hours of work, he had only gained 220 experience points, still 180 points short of the next level.
Adrian , whose arm was a bit sore from swinging the stick for a while, decided to go AFK and rest.
He let the Summon Slimes continue to 'persecute' the wild Slimes, while he gathered and organized the Slime skins.
"Slime souls increased by 201, totaling 310! Slime skins, 206? Hmm? Oh~, I kept five spare ones yesterday. Hehe, I earned two more silver coins this morning!"
Adrian , with silver coins in his eyes, was smirking when he suddenly noticed that one of his Summon Slimes had lost its signal.
As a Summoner, Adrian could always sense the presence of his Summon Slimes.
There was only one situation where he would lose the signal!
"What could possibly kill my Level 4 Slime?" Adrian immediately looked in the direction of the Slime that had lost its signal.
After leveling up, although the Summon Slimes' health was still fragile, their speed had increased significantly.
Unless they were ganged up on, it was unlikely for them to be hit by Acid Spray from lower-level wild Slimes!
As Adrian turned around, he saw a Giant Slime dozens of meters away, jumping directly towards him.
"Hiss~, it's it!"
Adrian bared his teeth, immediately got up from the ground, and gripped his wooden stick tightly.
Although the Giant Slime showed no expression, Adrian felt as if he could sense its endless rage.
However, this time Adrian did not run away; instead, he immediately called back the four Level 4 Summon Slimes that were scattered around.
Adrian wanted to try and conquer this Giant Slime!
