Chereads / Compatibility: Slime / Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

Dean decided to hunt other monsters first before he can create another new species slime. He was excited to max out his normal data to unlock the fusion monster function. However, before he went to hunt some other monster, Dean needed a better weapon.

For the past few days, Dean was killing lots of blue slime and got lots of blues pillow. He sold all the pillow and got quite a bit of money. He already bought a cheap body armor a few days ago and he wanted to use this money to buy a new weapon.

Dean went to one of the weapon shops in camp 7. Weapon shop, armor shop, blacksmith and many more were a lot inside the camp. The camp was like a small town with thousands of people living there.

Dean went inside a weapon shop near his room building. The shop was not big but there were a lot of weapon he can bought. He looked around to see what will be good for him.

'What weapon are you going to use?' asked Sys.

"Since I have been using knife all this time, I thought I should get a dagger. Most of the monster in the prairie are fast and dagger is lighter than a sword though the range is low but I think that will be the best," said Dean.

Before he went to the dagger section, Dean looked around the other section first just to sightsee. After he looked enough, he went to the dagger section. There were a lot of choices. A normal dagger crafted by a people and monster drop.

Weapon, armor, accessories from monster that can be used for fight cannot be used by people without any compatibility with the monster the equipment came from. However, weapon created by another human can be used by anyone. That was the rule for human who had awakened their power.

At the dagger section, there were many daggers dropped by monsters and not many choices for dagger created by human. Dean wanted a good dagger but unfortunately, the good ones were all too expensive. So, Dean chose the cheapest dagger. He took two of them. Dean wanted to dual wield the dagger to maximize his attack power.

They were just a normal steel dagger. Nothing special about the dagger. Dean paid for the dagger and went to an armor shop. He did not take too much time inside. He went there to buy a leather arm guard for both his arm.

After he bought everything, Dean went to the prairie. On the way to the prairie, Dean heard people around him talking about the elite blue slime. Some of them tried to fight them and win and some of them ran away when they knew they will lose.

There were also many people who partied with other people to test the strength of the blue slime. Some of them did it and some were not. The elite blue slime proved to be hard to beat even for someone who already had a few legend grade data.

Dean was somehow happy that the slime can defend themselves now but he also got a bit worried that the slime will be too hard to beat for people like him who had compatibility with slime. He not only wanted to help himself to become stronger but he also wanted to help people in the same situation like him.

The elite grade blue slime had now become one of the strongest elite grade monsters in the prairie. They also instilled fear to many people. Luckily, some of them found out that the blue slime personality was the same as before. As long as humans did not attack them, they will be friendly like the normal grade slime.

Dean reached the prairie and saw many people came back with injuries after they accidentally angered the elite blue slime. When the blue slime was alone, it was hard to determine their grade. So, many people made a mistake and attack the elite blue slime.

"So, Sys, where is the mapping function?" asked Dean. Sys activated the mapping function. Dean knitted his eyebrow. Sys was right about the range being small. From what Dean can see, the ranged was about 100 meters radius but it was better than nothing.

On the map, the were few different colored dots. The blue dot was Dean, green dots was other humans, yellow dots were normal grade monster and orange dots were elite grade monster. It was impossible to find legend grade and above in the prairie.

For monster that was registered in Dean's system, there were names on their dot. Dean saw a group of slime nearby and none of them an elite grade. He also detected other monsters on the map and he can see that it was a weak monster.

"I saw a rabbit. I can handle a rabbit. They are just normal rabbit without any skill," said Dean and he went slowly toward the rabbit. The rabbit was really a normal rabbit. It was white and had the same appearance as normal rabbit. However, they were monster. Anything inside the dimension was monster.

Dean was walking slowly and the rabbit ear perched up. It knew that Dean was nearby. Dean saw that and quickly ran towards the rabbit. However, the rabbit suddenly jumped and dashed away from Dean. Dean lost the rabbit. Dean was speechless.

"That was fast…" said Dean.

'Pfft~ They might look like normal rabbit but they are monster and their stats were higher than normal rabbit. You should know that a rabbit's agility stat is high. They are the fastest monster on land in the prairie' said Sys while laughing.

"Stop laughing. I just made some mistakes being too excited about the fusion function," said Dean annoyed. Dean walked around to find another rabbit. He found one but the result was the same. The same thing happened a few more times and Dean got annoyed especially with Sys laughing at his failure.

"Sys, stop laughing. Help me. What should I do now?" asked Dean.

'Haha, why don't you use the blue slime soul? You have many of that' said Sys.

"How can I use it? Even if I attach it to my weapon, but I fail to catch the rabbit, what is the point? And the blue slime soul increase vitality and increasing vitality is useless in this situation," said Dean.

'I think I should explain this to you. I know that the blue slime soul will increase vitality but you can actually use it to increase other stats' said Sys.

"I can do that?" asked Dean. He never heard that soul can be used like that.

'You can and everyone can do it. However, you can only use it for limited time and the soul will disappear once time end. No one do this because getting a soul is super rare and losing something that precious is a waste but that do not apply to you. You have many souls you can use. Attach one of the blue slime souls on your shoes and increase the agility' said Sys.

"Whoa~ that will be really helpful. I need to collect more monster soul when I have free time. How long is the time limit?" asked Dean.

'For normal grade soul is 1 minutes, elite grade 3 minutes, legend grade 5 minutes, mythical grade 7 minutes and supreme grade 10 minutes. The added stat will be the same as time limit. So, using the normal grade blue slime soul can increase your agility by 1 stat point for 1 minutes' explained Sys.

"I have lots of leftover of blue slime soul. This will be good. Wait rabbit, I am coming for you," said Dean excitedly.

'Dean, don't waste your monster soul. Use it only when you need it. We don't know what will happen. Having some soul can help you when you are in danger' Sys advised Dean.

"Okay. Can the effect stack?" asked Dean.

'You can attach as many souls as you want but you can only use it one at a time. No stack effect' said Sys.

"Okay then, let's find some rabbit. I will get you this time!" said Dean while clenching his fist. Dean then started searching for rabbit and after fifteen minutes, he found a rabbit. Dean attached one blue slime soul on each of his shoes.

The blue slime soul entered Dean's shoes and a notification appeared.

'Blue slime soul use. Increase agility on both shoes by 1 point. Time limit: 1 minutes'

Dean's shoes let out yellow fumes. Dean held both his daggers in both hands. Dean aimed at the rabbit and he started running. He ran faster then he used to run. The rabbit was caught off guard and ran away. Dean chased the rabbit as fast as he can. Even with the uses of soul, Dean had a hard time catching up to the rabbit.

In desperation, Dean attached a blue slime soul in his dagger and increased the dagger speed. Then, Dean throwed his dagger towards the rabbit. The dagger travelled fast towards the rabbit. The rabbit looked behind it and saw the fast dagger coming and the rabbit eyes wide opened from shock.
