Chapter 458: Chapter 271 This gaming pod is too cheap (first update)_3
Slime.
As a door swung open, a heavy mass descended from above, covering Xiemen Waidao’s head and suffocating him.
Unlike the traditional starter monsters, the slimes in the game were immune to piercing, bounced back magic, moved swiftly, and had a fondness for face-hugging before drowning their victims.
Many gamers, caught off-guard, would find themselves smothered by these five-pound creatures, subsequently choking to death.
As an inheritance from “Princess Dungeon,” there were countless bizarre ways for players to die in the game, and asphyxiation was just one of them.
Realizing there was a sneak attack by a monster, Mukuai 1234 immediately thought about helping, but Xiemen Waidao waved his hand, signaling that it wasn’t necessary.
...
He calmly opened his backpack, took out his tool — chopsticks —and initiated a special action in the game: eating.
Players in the game could restore health, gain buff enhancements, or even permanently increase their attributes by eating.
Some special dungeons even had a satiety system, so players needed to bring food and water in advance.
But Mukuai 1234 believed that this action shouldn’t be used here.
And yet it worked!
The slime wrapped around Xiemen Waidao’s head was sucked in like jelly, the five-pound monster chugged down in one breath.
Patting his bulging belly, Xiemen Waidao belched contentedly before sitting on the roadside.
Walking up to him, Mukuai 1234 asked in disbelief, “How are you feeling?”
“Pretty sweet.”
“Who’s asking about that! How can you eat a slime raw!”
“You consume ‘merit’ raw every day, have I said anything about it? Besides, is the slime yours? Do I need to pay extra to eat a slime?”
Mukuai 1234’s head started to spin in confusion.
It’s not like anyone specified it as forbidden, but, well…
Using a rest action to digest faster, it didn’t take Xiemen Waidao long to completely digest the slime.
Standing up, he opened his panel, pleased to announce, “Not bad, I’ve got a temporary gelatinous buff: halved piercing damage and regenerative abilities. It seems that eating the monsters in this game can grant various effects.”
“Nobody eats monsters on purpose, are you sure it won’t cause any trouble?”
“I don’t think it will, worst case scenario, we’ll cook them first. After this dungeon, let’s buy a cauldron, I saw some NPCs selling them in the temple.”

Mukuai 1234 looked at Xiemen Waidao with blank amazement, feeling he was a bit too terrifying.
Yet what was even more frightening came afterward.
As they approached the final boss, another newbie-killer, the Snake Demon, emerged.
The creature stood half a meter tall with the head of a rooster, but its tail ended in a snake’s head. The rays that shot from its eyes could petrify everything, a terrifying existence indeed.
The methods to defeat it involved either a sneak attack or cooperation between two players: one attracting attention with their eyes closed while the other executed the kill from behind.
However, Xiemen Waidao chose a different approach.
He ambushed it from hiding, then leapt beside the creature, clamping down on it forcefully.
Switching to an axe, he severed the monster’s tail with one strike and, gripping the Snake Demon’s neck, he aimed it towards another monster behind and squeezed hard.
In pain, the Snake Demon instinctively released a ray which hit the dreadful monster, turning it into stone.
Satisfied, Xiemen Waidao tied the Snake Demon to himself with a rope and said to Mukuai 1234, “How’s that, do I seem a bit like a mage now? This game’s freedom is so vast, so full of bugs, I love it.”
“…Selling the gaming pod to you for 2.4 million was really too cheap,” Mukuai 1234 said with emotion.
