Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

It wasn't until they were more than 700 meters away from the city gate that Sean encountered his first monster.

It's gel slime.

Looks like I have quite a connection with these kinds of monsters!

A translucent, jelly-like gel-like creature blocked Sean's path.

It resembles a pool of slightly trembling, light blue, viscous water droplets, confined by an invisible container.

As its body slowly writhed, the blue gelatinous substance inside it swayed up and down.

The morning sunlight penetrated its gelatinous body, casting a shimmering shadow on the ground.

"This thing actually looks pretty cute."

"What should I do? I'm a little reluctant to go all out..."

If this were placed on Earth in the past, many people would definitely exclaim "cute creature!"

Selling figurines with this image would definitely make a fortune.

It has an even larger market than "guga guga" or similar phrases.

"However... this thing not only looks cute, it's also quite fierce."

The gel slime seemed to sense Sean's approach.

Its rounded body slowly turned in his direction.

Then, with an agility completely disproportionate to its size, it hopped and leaped toward Sean.

It was a rapid, somewhat clumsy but extremely effective high-speed bouncing motion that quickly approached Sean's direction.

It looks a bit comical, but it moves very quickly.

"This guy's pretty fierce!"

"It would definitely hurt a lot if I got hit."

This gel slime is about half a person's height and has a round body.

Slimes, as monsters, generally follow the principle that the larger they are, the stronger they are.

"The gel slime corpse I bought before was about the size of a football."

"This one is 10 times bigger."

Its monster level must be over 10, right?

"I wonder how much of a stat boost I'll get from equipping its corpse?"

Without panicking, Sean took out the Fallen's hardwood stick and swung it at the gel slime that had rushed in front of him.

"There are posts on the forum that say that compared to regular slime, gel slime has a more outstanding physical buffering ability."

This is understandable.

Gel!

It's sparkly; this material itself has extremely high energy absorption efficiency.

"Then... shall we use 80% of our power?"

"About 80%..."

bump!

The Fallen's hardwood stick made contact with the gel slime's body, producing a dull thud.

The elastic gel-like body of gel slime suddenly indents inward upon contact.

The violent deformation absorbed a large amount of the impact force of the stick, as if the stick had sunk into a lump of highly resilient mud.

However, what happened next terrified Sean—

"Pfft—Chirp!!!"

With a series of sounds, the gel slime's body burst open like a water-filled balloon.

The pale blue gelatinous body shattered into pieces under the enormous impact.

Countless viscous gel fragments splashed in all directions like a shower of flowers.

The soup and liquids fell onto the dry ground, making a "plop plop" sound.

Caught off guard, Sean was drenched in dirt and grime.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

"Huh?"

"More outstanding physical cushioning? That's all?"

Looking at the slime and gel all over the floor, Sean was utterly annoyed.

He didn't even have time to wipe the sticky liquid off his face.

Who is spreading false information online?

"This... it's been turned into slime, can this thing still be used as equipment as a corpse?"

..............................

After making a brief summary of the lessons learned, Sean quickly realized where the problems lay.

"I can only blame my high strength attribute."

Most of the heroes who post on the forum are E-rank heroes, the same rank as him.

However, most of these warriors have a strength value of no more than 15 points.

"But I..."

Sean glanced at his attribute panel.

Strength attribute - 34

"..."

He paused for two seconds, then quietly closed the interface.

"Okay, I admit it, it was my fault."

I shouldn't view myself from the perspective of an ordinary person.

"I'll be more careful next time, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

He muttered to himself, a hint of Versailles-like annoyance in his voice.

"Sigh, I accidentally used too much force. It seems I'll have to hold back 90% when dealing with small targets like this in the future."

Being invincible is so lonely.

Lonely as snow!

What can be done?

..............................

Having learned from the first experience, things were much better when encountering the second slime.

This time, Sean managed to hold back his strength, delivering a soft and light blow to the slime.

Then there is no more.

"Wow!"

"Why did it explode again?"

Sean was absolutely furious.

Are you trying to stage an accident?!

"But last time it completely exploded, this time..."

"At least half a body remains."

"How about we try equipping this half-corpse first?"

After looking at it for a while, Sean still gave up on this option.

The half-destroyed slime corpse looked disgusting, and he was unwilling to touch it directly with his hands.

"Maybe next time."

"I'll definitely be more careful next time."

The third, the fourth, and the fifth.

After destroying five slimes in a row, Sean finally obtained a complete slime monster corpse.

"It's not easy!"

"That's really not easy!"

Sean looked at the gel slime corpse at his feet, which barely maintained its oval shape, with only a slight collapse in the center of its body, and was so moved that he almost burst into tears.

He carefully reached out his hand to the monster's corpse, his movements as gentle as if he were handling a fragile antique.

Five consecutive "mistakes" have almost given him psychological trauma.

"If anyone ever tells me that slimes have strong physical cushioning capabilities, I'll fight them."

"It shatters with just a little force; how strong is its cushioning ability?"

Suddenly, I lost much of my anticipation for this monster's remains.

The gel slime corpse disappeared.

Instead, new equipment data appears in the second equipment slot.

【Name: Gel Slime Body】

[Type: Special/Bodily Remains]

[Quality: Green]

[Equipment Requirements: Level 10]

[Basic Attributes]

Strength+9

Agility+3

Constitution +10

[Note] The remains of a gel slime, not very tasty.

"Green quality..."

The attributes are pretty good.

"However... this power has increased again..."

Sean frowned.

He had just begun to get a feel for controlling his own power.

As a result, it has now increased by another 9 points in one go.

"Now it's much more difficult to control the power."

"I need to increase my strength training after I go back, otherwise I'm afraid I won't even be able to maintain a normal life."

"Sigh, what a happy problem..."

This sweet burden is something he will likely have to experience slowly for himself.
