The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

Chapter 131 Evolution, Mirror Slime!

Based on their combined spending, the total cost would be no less than 5 gold coins.

Needless to say, the two of them would have to work together and pour all their resources into raising this number.

"The cost is a bit outrageous, but I think it's worth it to be able to create a top-notch mech."

As they talked, the two immediately got to work, starting with making a list of materials to be collected.

After the two placed these orders, the players naturally got busy.

With their current well-established factory and sufficient materials, it would take them at most half a month to manufacture a mecha.

After all, in a world with magic, many things are much easier to do, so the efficiency is naturally not low.

While I was busy with the mecha project with Amateur Welder and Sky Dome, Jiang Chen was at this moment.

After this period of collection, we have basically gathered all the materials needed to advance to the next stage.

"I didn't expect it to happen so suddenly. Now we can begin the evolution process."

As usual, Jiang Chen immediately issued an announcement.

"After this evolution, the level cap has been raised to level 70."

Looking at the pile of materials, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel excited.

Jiang Chen knew very well what this level meant.

Currently, the standard combat level of the Succubus, Nightmare, and Dark Elf races is approximately between 60 and 70.

The elites among these races are around level 70-80.

At least now I won't be much worse than them in the future. After so many stages of evolution, my racial basic growth attributes should now be at an above-average level.

Although there is still a certain gap compared to those superior races.

But it's already quite good, considering it evolved from the weakest Pata to where it is now.

Once it was confirmed that most of the players had logged off, Jiang Chen made his preparations.

"If that's the case, then it can evolve."

As Jiang Chen finished speaking, these materials began to disappear at a visible speed and were absorbed into Jiang Chen's body.

At the same time, Jiang Chen was enveloped by a strange light.

Immediately afterwards, waves of warmth swept over Jiang Chen's entire body.

Jiang Chen could clearly sense the changes in his body.

Before long, after everything was over, Jiang Chen's body had transformed into a completely new form.

At this moment, Jiang Chen's entire body became transparent, looking like crystal, but a light blue crystal.

This change is similar to the previous situation with Crystal Slime.

However, they are fundamentally different in appearance.

Previously, in his Crystal Slime form, his body was blue and covered in rhomboid crystals, but now Jiang Chen has completely transformed into a crystal form.

This evolution is clearly related to the essence it fused with.

"Let me take a look at the current situation."

As he spoke, Jiang Chen opened his attribute panel, and a brand new panel appeared before his eyes.

Name: Jiang Chen

【Race: Mirror Slime (Five-Stage Evolution) - Pata】

[Faction: Chaotic Evil]

Fire Emblem: 15%

[Level: LV1 (Racial level cap 70)]

[Vitality: 12000]

[Magic value: 12000]

Attack: 500, Defense: 220, Agility: 80, Spirit: 90

【种族技能（史莱姆）：凝胶身躯LV3—分裂再生LV2—伤害吸收LV3—超强癒合LV3—召唤眷族LV2（专属）—深渊腐蚀LV2—暗影屏障LV2—魔法全属性抗性LV2—元素形态LV1】

【Mirror Image LV1 (Generates a mirror image that inherits 80% of the original attributes, and this image inherits all the skills of the original body)

】

[Special: Dark Flame LV2 - Fire Elemental Summoning LV2 - Undead Summoning LV1]

[Talent: Fourth Calamity LV4 (Quality: ???)]

[Fourth Calamity Exclusive Ability: Summon Player Mechanism LV4, Slots 500 (Increasing the talent level increases the summoning limit)]

The first improvement is that the talent of the Fourth Calamity has been directly upgraded to LV4.

First, the number of players that can be summoned has been increased from 200 to 500.

This promotion surprised Jiang Chen somewhat.

"Is it because the essence I blended was of higher quality that I experienced such a significant improvement?"

Jiang Chen made this guess.

However, this was naturally a good thing for Jiang Chen, since he was short of players, and this time the number of players had more than doubled.

Afterwards, when fighting against the Nightmare Clan and the Dark Elf Clan, the pressure on their side was at least not as great.

Next up is the newly added skill, Mirror Image.

Jiang Chen was very satisfied with this skill.

There's no need to elaborate on how overpowered your skills are; you can directly generate a mirror image of yourself, and most importantly, unlike ordinary clones, this clone can inherit your skills.

All elemental forms and self-destruct skills can be inherited.

In other words, once players reach their current stage, their combat power will undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Putting everything else aside, the Mirror Image skill alone can double the number of players out of thin air, and then have the Mirror Image self-destruct.

Alternatively, you can have the mirror image clones delay the enemy in front, while the players' main bodies take cover from behind.

It goes without saying how incredible this combination could be.

Overall, Jiang Chen was very satisfied with the skill he had acquired this time.

Jiang Chen can now summon two summoned creatures, plus one mirror image of his main body and two summoned creatures from the mirror image, for a total of six summoned creatures at the same time.

Although Jiang Chen's own attributes were already quite exaggerated, he was also very clear that his attributes were so exaggerated because of the divine artifact. Players' attributes would be greatly reduced.

However, it's already quite good; at least Jiang Chen is relatively satisfied with his progress in all aspects.

What he had to do next was simple: follow the procedures and issue a new announcement. Jiang Chen was quite familiar with this, and the relevant announcement was edited out in no time.

2. Since the game's launch, we have received a lot of attention and love from our players. Many of our followers have been waiting for a long time.

After a period of operation and various stress tests on the server, our server has withstood the test.

To better test the system, we've decided to open up 300 slots for players this time.

The slots will be randomly selected from players who have filled out the closed beta application form. (Note: Filling out the closed beta application form completely will greatly increase your chances of being selected, so please fill it out carefully.)

Feature upgrade:

Balance adjustments and content updates: Summoning unit iteration: Dark Slime (old form) is permanently retired, and players will see it in a brand new form upon logging in!

NPC interaction extension.

Some bugs have been fixed.

Server Maintenance Notice: This update will restart the server. Please log out of the game beforehand. All players will receive a compensation package after maintenance.

[Magic Coins x5]

The Slime & Dungeons Online Operations Team!

"The slimes have arrived, and the abyss calls for new conquerors!"

.

[Is the official team being this generous this time? They're giving out 300 slots directly.]

I thought they'd only give out 100 this time, but I didn't expect so many. Does that mean I have a chance to be selected?

Dude, you're overestimating yourself. Look at how few people are paying attention to this game right now. Let me put it this way, there aren't even 300 players to fill a gap between your teeth.

Our game has been gaining popularity lately.

I've noticed this too; there are more and more people browsing the forums these days.

I feel the official team could release more slots; given the current level of interest in the game, 300 slots are really not enough.

I think 300 is too few. To be honest, I'd thought 300 was too few before, let alone now.

[Waiting for updates! I just received an email notification; from now on, I'm one of the brothers.]

Wow, I'm so envious of you guys! Why are you so lucky?

[By the way, are any newbies looking to buy gear? I have various obsolete equipment for sale; feel free to contact me if you're interested. I also sell various materials. You can also add me as a friend if you're interested.]

[The person upstairs shouldn't do business here. There aren't many people in the game. Once you're in the game, just shout in the chat channel, and anyone interested will message you privately.]

The forum was bustling with activity for a while.

Those who secured a spot were naturally thrilled, while those who didn't can only continue to wait.

And so, amidst everyone's casual conversation, the server launch time soon arrived.

Once the players logged in one after another, they quickly started making a ruckus. First of all, the players' new forms did look quite impressive.

The character's entire body was radiating eerie green flames.

"Brothers, you know what, this form actually looks pretty good."

"I can only say that the special effects are indeed quite good."

39

"My God, the lighting, the special effects, the details of the ground."

"Damn it, stop making these recurring shows. You do them every single episode, and I'm getting tired of watching them every day."

66

"Yeah, stop with the 'this' and 'that' stuff. What's so special about this recurring event? Haven't you figured out the game's details on the forums yet? Do you have to come here and yell about it?"

"You guys are always pretending."

Clearly, compared to the previous two tests, the traditional program seems to be disliked by many players.

As they continued their discussion, the players left the tree hole.

At this moment, on Aria's side.

Lilith was beside her.

"That's strange, where did all those Pata go? They've all disappeared?"

This was Arya's first time experiencing something like this. At the moment, Arya was in the commercial district, which was considered the most active area for Pata. Basically, every time Arya came here, she could see Pata strolling around.

However, during this time, she was shocked to find that the group of Pata had disappeared.

"So what exactly happened?"

Aria was somewhat puzzled.

Lilith was already used to Aria's doubts.

"These Pata must have gone off to evolve."

"It's nothing serious, these Pata evolve every now and then."

"What's the big deal?"

Upon hearing what Lilith said, Aria instantly lost her composure.

It evolves every now and then, what's so surprising about that?

Do you want to hear what you're saying?

Arya originally thought that the Pata's behavior had already been outrageous during this period.

After all, even when outnumbered, they were still able to suppress enemies at least 10 levels higher than themselves and beat them to a pulp.

This was something completely impossible in Aria's mind, yet these Pata could do it with ease.

She originally thought this was the limit for the Pata, but who could have imagined that something even more outrageous could happen.

"Is this kind of evolution something that can be done casually?"

Arya felt that her worldview had been greatly shaken.

Seeing Aria's horrified expression, Lilith thought to herself that she loved seeing Aria's naivety.

Although I was quite frightened the first time, I'm used to it now.

You'll find out in a little while.

Lily said, completely unconcerned.

After waiting a while, the two finally saw the Pata creatures coming in droves.

"Holy crap—they've really evolved, and this aura is already incredibly close to that of a high-ranking demon."

Seeing the evolved Patas, even though Lilith already knew, she was still incredibly shocked.

This group of Pata was completely beyond common sense, and most importantly, the higher the bloodline level, the more difficult it is to improve. As a result, this group of Pata improved collectively in such a lively way.

Lilith didn't even dare to imagine what these Pata would become in the future.

With this kind of evolution, it might evolve directly into a giant dragon in the future.

That's an outrageous slap.

As if she had thought of something, Lilith's gaze unconsciously turned to Aria. Just as she had expected, Aria looked as if she had seen a ghost.

In response, Lilith said that this was just the beginning, and there were even more shocking things to come.
