The Fourth Calamity: Starting with Dungeon Slimes

While Ella was still worrying about the future, things had already changed on Jiang Chen's side.

At this moment, Jiang Chen encountered a new situation.

The players had already logged off, and Jiang Chen had returned to the tree hole.

Jiang Chen has undergone a complete transformation compared to before.

First of all, Jiang Chen has now turned into a dark green slime, and his whole body is burning with green flames. The overall visual effect is much cooler than before.

Simply put, it has special effects.

After gathering all the materials, the first thing Jiang Chen did upon returning was naturally to evolve the creature.

At the same time, players were also taken offline under the pretext of server updates. The previous sudden offline update caused a lot of controversy among players, but this time it was different.

Players have become accustomed to these sudden updates.

Compared to the previous sudden server crashes and inability to log in, this sudden update is much better; at least the server is back online after the update.

Looking at his own panel, Jiang Chen was becoming increasingly satisfied.

Name: Jiang Chen

【Race: Undead Slime (Four-Stage Evolution) - Pata】

[Faction: Chaotic Evil]

Fire Emblem: 10%

[Level: LV1 (Racial level cap 60)]

[Vitality: 7000]

[Magic value: 2000]

Attack: 300, Defense: 120, Agility: 60, Spirit: 80

【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】

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

[Talent: Fourth Calamity LV3 (Quality: ???)]

[Fourth Calamity Exclusive Ability: Summon Player Mechanism LV3, Slots 200 (Increasing the talent level increases the summoning limit)]

This upgrade firstly brought the Fourth Calamity's talent directly to LV3. To Jiang Chen's surprise, he originally thought that the number of players summoned by the Fourth Calamity would increase by 50 with each upgrade.

Who would have thought that this time it would increase by 100?

However, this is naturally a good thing for Jiang Chen, since he is currently short of manpower, which can be considered to reduce the pressure on Jiang Chen's side.

Next are the two newly added skills. The first special skill is Undead Summoning, which is similar to Elf Summoning, except that Undead Summoning summons an undead slime that looks exactly like itself.

In other words, Jiang Chen can now summon two creatures. In addition, he has an elemental form skill that allows him to briefly enter an elemental form. In this form, he can use some elemental skills and is immune to most attacks during this time.

This is clearly another life-saving skill.

In addition, Fire Emblem's progress has reached 10%, and this increase in progress has brought about a dramatic change in my attributes.

It's worth noting that the stats of a high-ranking succubus like Lilith at level 33 are approximately 6100 HP and 5300 MP.

As for myself, my health jumped directly from level one to 7000.

It's no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen's growth attributes have now reached the level of a high-ranking demon.

At this rate of growth, Jiang Chen didn't even dare to imagine how high his base attributes would be after he evolved to the next stage.

The only downside is that players cannot inherit this growth attribute.

But it doesn't matter anymore, because all the players are now using Dark Slime.

Players who have used Dark Slime all say it's good, especially its defense.

Although its base stats are much lower than they are now, it is undoubtedly a huge improvement compared to its previous form.

"Wouldn't it be safer to challenge the guardian of this floor now?"

"We'll use the remaining skeleton soldiers and those ogre races to level up the players."

The level cap for Dark Slime is 50. It would be best to challenge it if you could reach the maximum level, but it's okay if you can't.

If you're around level 20 or 30, it'll be even easier to fight if you raise your base stats by one level.

While thinking about this, Jiang Chen immediately released the update announcement.

Having gained experience from the first time, Jiang Chen is now quite skilled at operating the game, and players soon saw the update announcement on the official website.

[Magic Coins x2]

The Slime & Dungeons Online Operations Team!

"The slimes have arrived! The abyss calls for new conquerors!"

......

[Great, just as I thought. Each time an NPC evolves, its previous generation becomes the character in our new version.]

Wow, this is amazing! We've seen how strong the Dark Slime is before. With its skills combined, its defense is off the charts.

Am I the only one paying attention to this round of beta test slots released by the official team? Good heavens, 100 slots at once! Did they buy a new server?!

[They probably bought a new server, otherwise how could they release so many slots at once?]

I finally got a spot! I don't need to spend all my time on the forum anymore.

......

It's clear that players are quite satisfied with this update, especially the new character and the increased number of player slots.

And so, the players who had just secured their spots and the veteran players chatted and joked around on the forum, and soon the server launch time arrived.

Not long after...

When the players opened their eyes again, they were still in that familiar tree hole.

"Holy crap... the air, the lighting effects..."

......

"The regular program has begun."

"Wow, it's exactly the same as when I first came in."

This time, there were more veteran players watching the new player segment than before.

So the old guys started pointing and commenting, and then casually brought up their own attribute panels.
