Looking at his own panel, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel excited.

This upgrade is simply incredible.

First, the level has reached level one, but the attributes have been inherited from the previous stage when Crystal Pata was at max level.

Based on Dark Pata's growth stats, once you reach the maximum level, your attributes should at least double.

Jiang Chen estimated that his current attribute growth rate, although not as high as that of some high-level monsters, such as succubi like Lilith, had at least reached the level of a mid-level monster.

You should know that not long ago, I was just a lowly Pata.

And this improvement goes far beyond that.

First, there's the Fourth Calamity, which directly upgrades to LV2.

The number of summoned players has reached 100, which means that if they encounter a war like the previous wolf invasion, Jiang Chen's side won't have to fight so hard.

Of course, what surprised Jiang Chen the most were the skills that the Dark Slime possessed.

Abyssal Corruption - Shadow Barrier - All Magic Resistances

Abyssal Corruption imbues all your attacks with a corrosive effect, significantly increasing damage. Shadow Barrier is a defensive skill whose function is self-evident.

Jiang Chen was somewhat surprised by the skill "All Magic Resistance," as it provides a special resistance bonus against magic skills.

It's so much stronger than the medium and weak resistance techniques that Lilith learned.

Combined with Pata's own gel body and damage absorption, it achieves twice the result with half the effort.

What Jiang Chen was most satisfied with was the shared item backpack mechanism, a new mechanism added in the fourth catastrophe.

The importance of the knapsack mechanism is self-evident.

Previously, Jiang Chen kept all the gold coins and other items in the player's own chest inside the treehouse for safekeeping.

Players can come here at any time to take the items from the boxes, and each time a player revives Jiang Chen, it will be recorded and the corresponding magic coins will be taken from the boxes.

This is obviously very troublesome. It's not a big deal now that there are few people, but what will happen when there are more people later?

We simply can't keep up.

However, with the shared backpack mechanism, things are completely different.

This ability allowed Jiang Chen to have one hundred shared spaces, each one meter in length, width, and height.

This space can be shared with players, who can store the resources they acquire in this space.

Jiang Chen will then be able to collect all the players' expenses directly through the shared space, without having to go through each chest one by one.

Furthermore, with this space, players can bring back more items each time they go out, which makes things much more convenient.

It must be said that this improvement was undoubtedly the biggest help to Jiang Chen.

"Looks like it's time to schedule an update."

After much deliberation, Jiang Chen made this decision.

First of all, Jiang Chen can now summon Crystal Pata at most, so he doesn't plan to use the old Pata anymore and needs to recycle them.

In addition, there are the new abilities I've gained this time, as well as the increase in the number of players I can summon.

Organize all this information, make an announcement, and then perform a server maintenance update.

After all, for players, this is the game world.

Is it reasonable for the game world not to be updated? Is it reasonable for the official website not to issue any announcements?

As the saying goes, if you're going to put on a show, you have to go all the way, so Jiang Chen immediately started to take action.

At that moment, Lilith, who was grinding grain, also suddenly noticed something was wrong.

She saw the group of ploppers rushing headlong into the tree hole.

"Huh? What's wrong with Jiang Chen's group of Pata?" Lilith asked, puzzled.

"Why do you care so much? Keep grinding your millstone." As he spoke, Jiang Chen took out a lot more spices and threw them in.

However, Lilith sensed something.

"Huh? Such a powerful magical energy fluctuation!"

Suddenly, Lilith noticed the several baskets filled with spices that Jiang Chen had brought, and a special magical aura was constantly emanating from one of the baskets.

This puzzled Lilith.

Her instincts told her that this basket of spices was something special.

"Jiang Chen, this basket of spices you have looks like high-grade herbs?" Lilith asked, somewhat uncertain.

"A sixth-tier herb."

"Young Master Duo...Young Master Duo!" Lilith was shocked.

"Tier 6!! Herbs! And they're uncontaminated!"

It's important to know that many things in the dungeon are contaminated, especially precious items such as magic crystals, medicinal herbs, and other valuables.

Moreover, the higher the level of the dungeon, the more contaminated things there are. For example, here, Lilith saw many precious herbs, but most of them were contaminated.

"No...you're going to grind something like this just because it's not that precious?"

Lilith found it somewhat unbelievable.

This is a complete waste of resources! So many sixth-tier herbs could fetch astronomical prices if sold outside.

As if guessing what Lilith was thinking, Jiang Chen jumped in front of the basket, opened the lid, and revealed the plants inside.

This is a herb that looks like mint.

"This stuff is called dragon mint. Its effects are similar to catnip; it's addictive if you inhale too much dragon mint."

"And this thing has no other use, except to let the dragon suck it in."

"No... to be precise, it is still useful. This stuff can be made into spices and mixed into that stupid dragon's food. Once it gets addicted to it and can't live without me... hehe... then I can make it do whatever I want."

Upon hearing this, Lilith felt a chill run down her spine and shuddered. "How can you say such chilling things with such a calm tone?!"

At this moment, Lilith silently mourned for the earth dragon Moses for three seconds.

Why three seconds? Because she suddenly realized that she seemed to be one of those who had been tricked.

This is truly sad news...

While Lilith was still grieving for herself, Jiang Chen's voice came through.

"You'd better finish grinding these right now. I'm going to go check on those... those 'pa da' (a type of slang term for a group of people who are easily manipulated and playful). If you haven't finished grinding by the time I get back... well, you know what I mean!"

As Jiang Chen spoke, under Lilith's murderous gaze, he hopped and skipped toward the tree hole.
