Survival in the Core: I'm writing a guide for the entire server.

Lin You started the minecart and chose to dig to the right.

The engine roared, and the drill bit embedded itself in the rock face.

The first excavation yielded some stones and clods of earth.

Remaining Fuel: 40

Without hesitation, Lin You continued to choose to go right.

After the second excavation was completed, a bright and spacious underground space was revealed at the end of the dimly lit passage.

Remaining Fuel: 30

"Fuel is running a bit tight."

Lin You glanced at the remaining amount and decided to replenish some charcoal later.

He jumped off the mine cart and scanned the new space before him.

This inner Earth space was larger than any he had ever been to before.

Wherever the light from the mine cart lanterns reached, large copper veins were exposed on the ground.

The bluish-green ore shimmered with a metallic luster under the light.

"An open-pit copper mine?" Lin You's eyes lit up. "We're going to be rich!"

However, what truly attracted Lin You's attention was the wooden treasure chest in the very center of the space.

It's exactly the same as the one we found in that peaceful space before.

But this time, things weren't peaceful around the treasure chest.

Three blue slimes were leisurely patrolling near the treasure chest.

They are not large in size, with smooth surfaces and a faint blue sheen.

Lin You did not rush forward, but instead activated his Elementary Eye of Insight.

……

【Slime】

[Level: 1]

[HP: 40/40]

[Skill: Unknown]

Weakness: Unknown

……

"Forty points of health, ten more than the mushroom monster."

Lin You frowned slightly.

The mushroom monsters we encountered earlier were in disguise, so we could defeat them one by one.

But at this moment, all three slimes were awake.

Once you engage the enemy, you will face three enemies simultaneously.

"Let's check if there's any information on the forum first."

Lin You opened the game forum and entered the posting section.

Surprisingly, the atmosphere at today's forum was completely different from yesterday's.

Instead of the screen being filled with pleas for help and cries of despair, there were many more serious discussions.

Lin You typed "slime" into the search bar and began searching for valuable information.

Finally, his attention fell on a post titled "Some Small Discoveries About Slime".

The poster, named "Vincent," wrote a short but informative post:

"Today I dug up a subterranean space, and there were three blue slimes inside."

"I was quite panicked at first, thinking it was one of those really powerful monsters. But after fighting it a few times, I realized it wasn't actually that hard to deal with."

"The slime's attack method is very simple; it just jumps up and slams itself into you."

"As long as you stay calm, when you see it jump, just dodge to the side, and it basically won't be able to hit you."

"But be careful not to get surrounded. If all three jump at the same time, it's very difficult to dodge them all."

"Also, this thing has a lot of health; it took me about seven or eight stabs to kill one. Stone spear."

"In summary: Slimes are just meat shields, they don't require much skill, just slowly grind them down."

There are a few scattered comments below the post:

"Thanks for sharing. I was also blocked by slimes yesterday and didn't dare to get out of the car."

"The original poster is a good person, much better than those who hide their true intentions."

"Speaking of which, if Lin You were to post a slime walkthrough, it would definitely be more detailed than yours."

The poster replied to the last comment: "Lin You's guides are comprehensive, this is just a small discovery I made for everyone's reference."

Lin You nodded gently after reading it.

Although this post is short, it is very practical.

"It seems that, thanks to my influence, some people are starting to be willing to share valuable information."

This is a good thing.

Information sharing allows all players to survive longer.

As the owner of the strategy system, he can also benefit from it.

After all, the longer a player survives, the more people will read their guides, and the faster their score will increase.

After thinking for a moment, Lin You replied in the comments section of this post.

"Thank you, OP. This is very helpful. May you have a peaceful and prosperous life."

Lin You shut down the forum, gripped the stone spear tightly, and took a deep breath.

"Time to get to work."

He stepped off the minecart and approached the three slimes.

The light from the mine cart lantern dimmed as he left, but it remained within its effective range.

As soon as they approached the treasure chest within about ten meters, the three slimes simultaneously stopped wandering around.

Lin You made no attempt to hide and strode forward.

The three slimes turned to him at the same time, and their bodies began to swell.

"They're here."

Lin You lowered his center of gravity, holding the stone spear horizontally in front of him.

The first slime suddenly sprang up and slammed towards Lin You!

The blue spherical body traced a parabola in the air.

Lin You dodged to the side, and the slime grazed his shoulder and crashed to the ground with a dull thud.

The ground was smashed, leaving a shallow dent.

"That was close."

Lin You didn't waste the opportunity. Taking advantage of the slime's brief moment of stiffness after landing, he thrust out with his spear!

-5!

The slime's health points decreased slightly.

But it quickly recovered and bounced again.

At the same time, the other two slimes also moved.

They flanked from both sides and jumped up at the same time!

Three slimes came crashing down from different directions, minimizing Lin You's space to dodge.

"We can't take it head-on."

Lin You made a quick decision and took several steps back.

Two slimes slammed into him less than half a meter away, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The third one landed even closer, almost hitting his foot.

Lin You steadied himself and thrust out with his spear again.

-6!

The first slime's health has dropped to 29.

But Lin You didn't greedily strike; he quickly retreated and created distance.

The three slimes wriggled their bodies again, preparing for the next jump.

In this way, Lin You used his agile movement to deal with the three slimes in the open space around the treasure chest.

He thrusts once, retreats, dodges, and then thrusts again.

Although the damage dealt each time is not high, its advantage lies in its consistency.

Despite the dense barrage of jumping attacks from the three slimes, Lin You remained calm and was not hit even once.

A few minutes later.

The first slime's health points reached zero, and its body deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon, eventually turning into a puddle of blue slime.

You have killed 1 "Slimes".

You have gained 10 experience points.

Lin You's eyes lit up.

"As expected, I can gain experience points after changing jobs."

He glanced at the experience bar: 10/100.

You can reach level 2 by killing 10 slimes.

But now is not the time to think about these things.

Seeing their companion fall, the remaining two slimes noticeably increased their attack frequency.

But their attack methods remain unchanged; they just jump faster and smash harder.

Lin You steadied himself and continued to employ guerrilla tactics.

Another few minutes passed.

The last two slimes also fell down one after another.

You have killed 2 "Slimes".

[Experience points +20! Current stats: 30/100]

You have obtained 3 "Slime Gel"

The battle is over.

Lin You breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that her palms were sweaty.

"Three slimes, it took almost ten minutes to fight, it was quite tiring."

However, the harvest was quite considerable.

The three slimes gave him a total of 30 experience points, bringing his level up to 30%.

In addition, there are 3 portions of slime gel, which should unlock new recipes.

Just as Lin You was about to bend down and pick up the spoils on the ground, a prompt suddenly appeared in front of her.

[Target detected that can be used to create magic cards: "Slime" x3]

[Do you want to consume magic power to create a magic card?]

[Note: Each magic card consumes 10 magic points. Current magic points: 120/120]

Lin You was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

"By the way, I'm a Card Master now, so I can use Card Making Technique to turn monsters into cards."

He chose "yes" without hesitation.

A gentle power surged from within him, gathering in the palm of his right hand.

Pale blue specks of light appeared in the air and slowly drifted toward the three puddles of slime on the ground.

The light spots enveloped the slime, gradually coalescing into three semi-transparent cards.

The card hovered in the air for a moment, then gently floated down into Lin You's hand.

[Card crafting successful! You have obtained 3 "Magic Card: Slime"!]

[Consumes 30 mana points, current mana: 90/120]

[Magic power will slowly recover over time; current recovery rate: 1.2/minute]

Lin You looked down at the three magic cards in her hand.

The card is small, about the size of a playing card, and is made of some kind of translucent hard plastic.

The front features a 3D projection of a blue slime that looks incredibly lifelike.

The back is engraved with complex runes, somewhat similar to the patterns on the job change card.

Lin You focused her attention, and the information about the magic card appeared before her eyes.

……

【Magic Card: Slime】

Grade: 1 (White)

[Note: You can obtain the following effects by using "Card Control Technique"]

【Effect ① - Summon: Consume this Spell Card to summon a Slime to fight for you until the Slime dies】

【Effect ② - Absorption: Consume this magic card to increase your Constitution attribute by 1, up to a maximum of 20 points at Rank E】

……

"..."

Lin You stared at the description of the magic card's functions and remained silent for a full five seconds.

Then, he took a deep breath.

"That's way too strong!!!!!"
