[Slime Spray: You can spray a small glob of corrosive slime (requires [Slippery Slime] first)]

[Growth Through Consumption+: You can gain attribute boosts by eating different foods]

[Slippery slime: Your body can secrete slime]

Lindsay realizes that the slime's monster ability is actually a combination attack.

Since we've already chosen [Devour Growth], and this level 2 monster's ability also has growth potential, let's choose that one!

[Successfully selected [Eat Growth+]]

Eric helped Camilla up; the skin on her hands and face was somewhat ulcerated, and she wiped away her tears.

"Ouch, it hurts so much! I thought I was going to die..."

Uncle Sam reminded him, "Adventurers, you can heal these burns from giant slimes with the all-purpose ointment."

"But we didn't buy any!" Eric cried out anxiously, pacing back and forth. "I'm going to town to buy some now!"

"No."

Lindsay took a healing ointment from his small purse and handed it to Eric, who thanked him profusely and applied it to Camilla.

"Thank you for saving my sister, and thank you to the farmers!"

"younger sister?"

"Ah...yes, we are siblings." Camilla answered Lindsay's question, her cheeks flushing slightly as if she realized something.

Then she said cheerfully, "Thank you for the ointment, Lindsay, I'll pay you back later!"

Lindsay turned to Sam: "Uncle Sam, how did you know to use water to neutralize the slime?"

Sam laughed: "I've seen slimes many times, it's all just experience, let's not talk about it."

Also, you can collect slime, which is a monster material that can be sold at the alchemy shop. However, you should wear burn-resistant gloves when collecting it to avoid burning your hands.

Lindsay and his two companions looked at each other, none of them prepared with such equipment.

"Why is the ointment sold by the pharmacist in that town called the 'all-purpose ointment'?" Linssey asked again.

"It's very simple," Sam said, arms crossed. "Because it was invented by the great and legendary priest, Adam Smith, this ointment can treat almost all external injuries, hence the name 'miracle ointment'."

The mission was successfully completed.

Linsel opened the Monster Compendium in the panel.

As the content on the screen gradually increased, he felt very satisfied.

Continue collecting more monster abilities to become stronger!

……

Linchui Town, noon, Guild Tavern.

"1 silver coin per person, 2 points."

After scanning the quest sheet, the black-haired female guild member expressionlessly paid Linssey and his two companions silver coins.

Two more points are needed to reach 10 points and I can be promoted to Iron-level adventurer.

"Linsey, here's all the reward my brother and I received for our mission," Camilla said, handing over two silver coins. "It's for the medicine you need."

"It's just a medicated ointment, there's nothing to repay."

"This, this won't do, I'll feel so bad!" Camilla blushed and stuffed the silver coins into Linse's money bag.

"Brother Lindsay, just accept it," Eric urged from the side. "You've completed the promised Porcelain-level mission, and we're going to do an Iron-level mission together tomorrow, so keep it."

Linsset did not refuse again, as the scene before him stirred his memories.

This feeling of being with companions seems very similar to the two companions, Tommy, from the original owner's memories.

Feeling as if it were fate, Lindsay decided to try and persuade them.

After his experience with the slime quest, he became more cautious about unknown monsters and would not join them on the low-yield Iron-level quest.

"Eric, I've thought about it, and I won't be going with you tomorrow. I also want to advise you to give up the cemetery reconnaissance mission; it might be too dangerous."

"This..." Eric's expression was somewhat cold and embarrassed.

"Alright, if you don't want to go, then we won't. We'll find other adventurers to team up with."

Linssey added, "If it's a Porcelain-level mission, I can team up with you."

"No, thank you for your kindness." Eric grabbed Camilla's wrist and was about to leave the tavern, but she turned back to look at Lindsay, her face full of apology and disappointment.

I can't persuade them, but I feel bad for going back on my word...

Linsel did not try to stop them, nor did he continue to interfere with the brother and sister. He only cared about himself, since he would not take on missions beyond his level.

He ordered a lamb chop set meal for 1 silver and 20 copper, and sat at the wooden table waiting for his food, while thinking about the new monster ability he had acquired that morning.

Perhaps it's not that it didn't work, but that the increase in attributes was too small to be displayed on the panel? Also, [Devour Growth+] no longer limits the number of times attributes can be increased.

After you finish this meal, it might work.

A little while later, Lindsay's lamb chop set meal arrived, and this time it was served by the young girl Lilia.

Her appearance also attracted the attention of other adventurers and guests who were eating and waiting at their seats.

"so cute…"

"I've decided, next time I come to the pub I'll definitely order the set meal!"

"Hmph, what's the big deal?" A Black Iron-level adventurer reeking of alcohol suddenly stood up at the next table. "Give me a lamb chop set meal too."

Upon hearing this, Lindsay put down his fork.

"Okay! Is there anything else you need?" Lilia jogged over.

"I want you to drink with me!"

The drunken adventurer suddenly grabbed Lilia's arm and pinched it until it turned purple, and she immediately screamed.

"Let me go!"

A wooden cup was thrown at the drunken adventurer. Linsel looked over and saw that it was the fat tavern owner.

"No disrespect allowed in the guild tavern!"

"You still want to... control me...? Watch me chop her up..."

The drunken adventurer shoved Lilia to the ground, drew his iron sword from his waist, and staggered toward Lilia to strike.

At that critical moment, Lin Sai rushed over.

clang!

His iron sword clashed with the drunken adventurer's iron sword, and he parried.

At the same time, the fat tavern owner threw a wooden stool at the drunken adventurer, knocking him down!

Linsset kicked the drunkard hard in the stomach again, making it impossible for him to get up for a while.

"Waaaaah..."

Lilia, like a frightened kitten, ran crying to Lindsay and hugged him.

Seeing this, the other adventurers present stepped forward and subdued the drunkard.

The fat tavern owner ran up to Lindsay, panting, and grasped his hand tightly with gratitude.

"Hero, what's your name? You saved my daughter!"

My name is Lindsay.

A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted in the guild tavern as adventurers and guests cheered.

"hero!"

"That newcomer is great, he's got guts!"

The portly tavern owner loudly announced, "All drinks are free today! Let's toast to Lindsay!"

However, contrary to the enthusiastic atmosphere here, Lindsay was not quite happy.

He couldn't resist and acted without considering the consequences.

Being a rookie adventurer is too conspicuous; this might be getting me into trouble…
