The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

After a friendly exchange with Lilith, Jiang Chen had a good grasp of the situation in this world.

"So, Jiang Chen, please help me! I want to go back to the surface and tell my father about my sister and fiancé's conspiracy!"

Leaving? Do you think I don't want to leave just because you want to?

God knows how precarious I feel here every day, not knowing if I'll ever make it to the other side, and how much pressure I'm under.

Now that he knew he could leave, Jiang Chen naturally wanted to leave as well.

However, we need to plan how to leave properly, and Lilith, an outsider, also wants to leave.

This gave Jiang Chen an idea.

"How do we get back? According to you, each level has a powerful guardian, and only by defeating it can we leave."

"With our strength, how could we possibly win?"

Upon hearing this, Lilith immediately shared her thoughts.

"Don't you have a dragon neighbor? If you can persuade it to help, you can definitely fight your way up!"

"And we don't need to reach many floors, just 50 floors is enough, the Nightmare Clan has already explored up to 50 floors."

"They've set up a teleportation array over there, and we can use it to get back to the ground."

Lilith looked on with anticipation as she spoke.

Her frail appearance at that moment made Jiang Chen feel momentarily dazed.

So cute...

I'd probably cry for a long time if I punched him!

"Damn it, you dare use your charm on me? Damn it, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you'll never know what's what!"

"Sigh... Jiang Chen, let's talk this out. I was wrong, I was really wrong this time..."

Not long after...

Lilith, who had just been given a good beating, looked at Jiang Chen with a resentful expression.

She simply couldn't understand why Jiang Chen was just an ordinary slime, while she, Lilith, was a succubus.

The succubus's innate skills had absolutely no effect on him.

Not only did it have no effect, it also resulted in a severe beating.

However, what Lilith didn't know was that Jiang Chen's stats were not as simple as she imagined.

.......

Jiang Chen acknowledged Lilith's advantages as a high-ranking succubus, possessing numerous skills and extremely high base attributes from birth. However, he felt no envy towards his own quirky mechanics and even felt a bit amused.

"I can accept your proposal and help you get back to the ground!" Jiang Chen said slowly after a long while.

Upon hearing this, Lilith's eyes lit up.

"However..." Jiang Chen paused, "we have an employment relationship, so naturally you have to pay the corresponding compensation."

"Reward? What do you want?" Lilith immediately became wary.

"Make a copy of all the spells you know, magic circles, and all the magic books in your family's collection."

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Lilith's voice rose several decibels.

These magical books are the very foundation of the succubus race's survival; heaven knows how much their ancestors paid for them.

Moreover, it contains succubus magic, which was developed by the ancestors of the succubus race through their life's work, and is the core of the succubus race.

"Did they puncture his lung? The reaction is so strong!"

Jiang Chen was also somewhat surprised.

It's not surprising, after all, he's a time traveler, and Jiang Chen's understanding of the value of books is still stuck in the internet age.

However, he had little concept of how precious books were in this world.

But...

This did not prevent Jiang Chen from accepting this as payment, especially after seeing Lilith's reaction.

"You think hitting them is as simple as you think? We have no idea what a terrible price we'll have to pay."

"See those 'patters'? They are my beloved family, friends, brothers, and brothers. They would sacrifice themselves for you. Aren't their lives worth more than a few tattered books?"

Lilith wanted to say that these inferior monsters could not possibly compare to her family's precious books.

But upon seeing Jiang Chen's race, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

"No, no matter what you say, it's not okay!"

Lilith's attitude was very firm.

"Hmph... It's alright, I'm not in a hurry."

"Anyway... it's not like my father is about to kick the bucket."

Seeing Jiang Chen's nonchalant attitude, Lilith gritted her teeth. "How can someone be so greedy? This is even greedier than those despicable goblins!"

After a long while, Lilith's tail drooped, and her expression was forlorn...

"Half! At most half!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes lit up.

Although it was far from my initial plan, that's how negotiations work: I make a price, and you make a counter-offer.

As long as the major artery isn't cut, everything is fine.

After all, summoning your own familiar only requires a small amount of magical beast materials.

It's everywhere here.

With that in mind, Jiang Chen readily agreed.

Seeing that Jiang Chen agreed, Lilith waved her small hand, and the next moment an ancient parchment scroll appeared in front of the two of them.

"This is a contract. Once the contract is signed, our transaction is considered complete."

"If either party violates the contract, they will be burned by the fires of hell until they die!"

Jiang Chen naturally had no questions about this.

However, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped just as they were about to sign the contract, which immediately made Lilith nervous.

"Did this little patter figure out something?"

Lilith felt uneasy.

but……

"Imperial Jade Liquor!"

Lilith: ?

"Odd changes, even remains the same!"

Lilith: ?

"What is your system?"

"Jiang Chen, what are you talking about? What is this 'system'?" Lilith was completely baffled by Jiang Chen's inexplicable words.

Seeing Lilith's appearance, Jiang Chen was instantly relieved, and he signed his name without hesitation.

So the two reached an agreement.

However, Jiang Chen did not notice that when Lilith saw him sign the contract, a faint smile appeared on her lips.

That's right! She tampered with the contract!

The content is a book split in half, and although it's the same as what they negotiated, there are no restrictions.

"Hmph..."

"A mere 'pao'! Don't you know that the great Lady Lilith is a high-ranking succubus?"

"You'll never understand; the wisdom of a high succubus is far beyond the comprehension of a mere pataca like you!"

Lilith was in high spirits as she watched the contract dissipate with the flames.

The contract is established!

Finally, we've tricked this arrogant, despicable bastard who actually dared to try and bargain with the great Lilith!

"Hmph! The contract never specified what kind of books this half of the book was!"

"My family has a total of 4,300 magic books. I only need to buy another 4,300 of the lowest-level magic books, and giving them to you won't violate the contract!"

Thinking of this, Lilith couldn't help but recall the bewildered expression on Jiang Chen's face when he saw the magic book she had given him.

"Hmph, foolish Pata, actually trying to make a deal with the devil! Hmph, consider this a lesson you'll learn!"

However, what Lilith didn't know was that Jiang Chen's smile was even harder to suppress than an AK as he turned to leave.

That's right, Jiang Chen also discovered that there were various bugs in this contract, after all, he had tricked the earth dragon in the first place.

That's why Jiang Chen suddenly asked those questions. The main reason was that Lilith's buffs were stacked too high, and Jiang Chen was afraid that this girl was a transmigrator.

With so many buffs, Jiang Chen was really afraid that he would become the villain without even realizing it and be used as a stepping stone by the protagonist.

"Since you're not a time traveler, I can safely scam you..."

"We'll type it up for you, but there's no timeframe specified."

"You thought I could get the earth dragon to help, but little did you know that the earth dragon wouldn't listen to me at all, so in the end, the players had to step in."

"Relying on players to fight their way up?"

Jiang Chen estimated that with his current strength, it would be quite difficult in the short term.

By then, Lilith's father's grave will probably be overgrown with weeds!

But does it matter?

It's not important. He's not my dad, why should I panic?

After we fight back, the succubus territory might be ruled by Lilith's stepsister and fiancé. All I need to do then is find a way to kill them.

Then they put that idiot Lilith in the position of the new succubus lord, and then used her as a puppet to command the other lords.

hum!

You think I'm after your books? Heh heh, what good are books? What I'm after is your territory!

Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a "hehehe" laugh.
