I opened an adventurer's guild in another world.

The injured giant slime jumped much slower.

The holes on their bodies corroded by the little girls' acid spray also healed much slower.

Before it had run a hundred meters, the giant slime was covered in holes and its body was constantly oozing slime!

Anno felt a surge of excitement as he watched the giant slime gradually weaken.

However, a large number of low-level slimes appeared ahead. If the slimes continued to retreat into the grassland, Anno would be blocked by these low-level slimes.

"We can't let you get away!"

Anno was waiting to summon the giant slime as his own summoned creature; how could he possibly let it escape back?

With a burst of speed from his legs, Anno quickly overtook the giant slime in front of him and blocked its path.

"Chirp!"

An anxious cry came from the giant slime.

Seeing Anno blocking its way, it sprayed acid and leaped up, trying to jump behind Anno.

After easily dodging the acid attack, Anno looked up at the giant slime in mid-air and summoned the little slimes that were ready to attack.

The summoned little Mu appeared in mid-air, no more than two meters away from the giant slime.

Four streams of acid accurately hit the giant slime.

After the giant slime landed, due to gravity, a large amount of slime gushed out from the holes in its body!

A giant slime, like a fountain, lay motionless on the ground.

Just then, the little ones ran out of magic, and Anno's pitiful magic was completely depleted long ago.

Carrying the wooden stick, Anno cautiously walked up, intending to deliver a fatal blow.

Just as Anno reached a distance of two meters from the giant slime, the slime suddenly sprang up, its wounded body splitting open horizontally in the middle, and lunged at Anno.

Holy crap!

Despite being very careful, Anno never expected the giant slime to pull this stunt.

In a panic, he summoned his four little Mu to stand in front of him and swung his wooden stick at them hard.

Anno, who had just struck with the stick, didn't linger and immediately turned away to create distance.

The summoned little Mus saved Anno from disaster, stuffing the giant slime's mouth full.

As their jaws snapped shut, Anno sensed that they were dead.

"Phew!"

Anno looked at the giant slime, covered in slime and slowly wriggling into the depths of the grassland, and felt a chill run down his spine.

The wooden stick in my hand had also been swallowed halfway, and its rough, beveled surface was covered with signs of corrosion.

If the reaction had been any slower, it wouldn't have been Little Mu who was swallowed and corroded, but him!

"That was pretty close!"

Anno wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and swung the wooden stick in his hand at the giant slime.

"Pfft!"

The bitten end of the wooden stick pierced directly into the giant slime.

Anno saw the giant slime tremble and stop moving altogether.

Less than a minute later, a green mass rose from the deflated giant slime and merged into Anno's body.

"The color has changed!"

Anno saw the green soul and was puzzled for a moment.

When Anno saw the message "[Obtained Large Slime Soul x1, Experience Points +120]" displayed on the panel, he was so excited he almost jumped up.

It's obvious that the monster Anno has always referred to as the Giant Slime was originally called the Large Slime, and it was of a very high level!

When Anno killed a goblin at level 0, he only received 70 experience points.

However, the large slime gave him 120 experience points!

"The level of the large slime is definitely higher than level five!" Anno said with certainty.

It's not just that the souls are different colors, but also because the panel lists the large slime souls separately!

Previously, whether it was a level 1 slime soul or a level 4 slime soul, killing it always yielded slime souls.

Anno picked up the large slime skin from the ground, eager to summon the large slime, but found that he didn't have enough magic power.

After retreating to a safe location, Anno recovered her magic power and rested to regain her stamina.

After fighting the giant slime for about ten minutes, Anno's stamina and magic were both completely depleted.

Ten minutes later, Anno, having recovered some of his magic, prepared to summon a large slime, but the panel displayed that he could not sacrifice a green soul of level 6 or higher because his level was too low!

"Damn it!"

Anno was so angry he wanted to curse. He was still 60 experience points away from level 5, let alone level 6.

Packing his things, carrying the slime and the broken wooden stick, Anno prepared to return to the town of Gruul.

Judging from the sun's position, it is now noon.

Even from a distance, Anuo could see the smoke rising from the chimney.

Entering the blacksmith's shop, Anno placed 200 slime hides on the counter and shouted to Old John, "I'm here to ship the goods!"

Old John stared at Anno, who was covered in dust from the battle with the giant slime, and his lips twitched uncontrollably a few times.

In one morning, I killed several hundred more slimes.

Is this guy really an ordinary person?

No, right?

That can't be right!

If ordinary people had this ability, there wouldn't be so many slimes outside the grasslands; they would have been wiped out long ago!

"Here are 2 silver coins, keep them safe!"

Anno ignored the change in old John's tone, took out the half-broken wooden club, and asked, "My weapon is broken. Do you have any weapons here that cost one or two silver coins?"

It wasn't that Anno didn't want to buy good weapons; he had been eyeing that fine steel longsword for a long time.

But he has no money!

Including these 2 silver coins, Anno's entire fortune consisted of only 4 silver coins plus a few copper coins.

Old John took the wooden stick, examined it for a while, clicked his tongue in amazement, then went to the weapons display wall, searched for a while, and took down a short sword.

"This short sword is 50 centimeters long, with a 12-centimeter hilt and a 38-centimeter blade, and it's priced at 8 silver coins! However, I can give you a discount; I can sell it to you for 5 silver coins!"

Old John handed the short sword to Anno, smiling as he said, "However, you must sell any slime skins you find nearby to me first. I will still buy them for 1 copper coin!"

The reason he was willing to lower the price by 3 silver coins was because Old John had high hopes for Anno.

Slime skins can be used to make clothes or leather goods, and one skin can be sold for 1.3 copper coins in Val'kam.

Old John bought them from Anno for 1 copper coin, and after deducting all expenses, he could earn 20 copper coins for every 100 cards.

At Anno's rate of killing four or five hundred slimes a day, Old John would earn back 3 silver coins in just a few days.

This deal is a win-win situation.

Anno understood that Old John wanted to work with him long-term to prevent him from selling slime skins to other merchants in town—the market merchants also bought slime skins for 1 copper coin each.

He was actually very interested, but the problem was...

"I don't have that much money!"

Anno couldn't come up with 5 silver coins.

"Hahaha, at your slime-hunting speed, you'll have one soon!" Old John laughed heartily, showing no intention of sheathing his short sword. "You can pay a deposit of 3 silver coins first, and as long as you can pay the remaining 2 silver coins within two days, I won't charge you interest!"

As he spoke, old John took out a piece of parchment and wrote down the terms of the right of first refusal for the slime skin and the two silver coins owed, then handed the pen to Anno.

Anno glanced at it, found no problems, and signed his name.

As Anno left the blacksmith shop, he had a short sword at his waist. He only had 1 silver coin and a few copper coins left, and he still owed the blacksmith 2 silver coins.

"Just two silver coins, I can pay off the debt this afternoon!" Anno stroked the scabbard of his short sword with his right hand, took a deep breath, and muttered to himself, "With a new weapon, I'll set my target for this afternoon at 300!"

With Anno's current strength, plus his newly equipped short sword, killing 300 slimes in an afternoon is not an exaggeration.
