CH 30

The moment Alpha finished reading, he exclaimed "wait that's illegal! 50 HP per second! That's basically immortality! nothing can kill me now!"

Alpha Was way more excited than he've ever been, but the mask had to calm him down, else he would do something stupid

"Calm down boy! You're not that immune just yet. There's plenty of high leveled monsters out there that can kill you with one shot, after all, your HP is only at 150, it's not that high, and remember, the amount of damage you can block is only 1% of your HP, which means the damage you receive won't be weakened by more than 1.5, and I can guarantee you that the monsters on the 4th floor can deal more damage than that, yes you can heal faster than what they can hurt you, but not getting hurt in the first place is a lot better than constantly healing, you know"

Alpha was plenty excited before, but now that the mask said that, he realized how naive he was

And his excitement completely faded, to the point where he forgot about the other skills he gained

But, the mask on the other hand, was losing her mind ' ALPHA YOU FREAK! YOU'VE ACTUALLY GAINED THE MILLENNIAL AND THE ONE WHO SEEKS THE PEAK TITLES!! AND YOU EVEN GAINED THE MILLENNIAL BEFORE ACQUIRING THE OTHER ONE!!! IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE OTHER WAY AROUND!!!! YOU WOULD NORMALLY HAVE TO WORK HARD FOR DECADES AFTER SEEKING THE PEAK BEFORE YOU CAN BECOME A MILLENNIAL!!!!! YET YOU MANAGED TO DO IT JUST AFTER 4 DAYS FROM ARRIVING TO THIS WORLD!!!!!! YOU'RE A LEGEND ! "

At least, she could keep her calm from the outside and reminded him of one of them, well not like she can show any facial expressions in the first place

"come on, don't be sad, I still have a good news for you, the millennial title you just gained, grants you the ability to choose whether to eat or to not, you don't have to keep eating disgusting slime cores anymore!! Just throw them away, their only used is the pure Mana in them, and the ones you have are already empty"

And that's what brought alphas motivation back, The idea of not having to eat slime cores was a heaven sent gift, there's no way he won't be happy with it

Thus, Alpha made up his mind, his next goal would be to improve his Mana purity, and increase his vitality

He left all the slime cores he had on him on the third floor, and departed towards the fourth one

Once he entered it, he found one of the slimes there, and appraised it

Race : water slime

LV. :04

HP. :20

MP. :20

STR. 20. VIT. 20

DEX. 20. INT. 20

Skills

[Water ball].[melting].[water bullet]

After checking out his status screen, the only thing that attracted Alpha's attention was not it race, it was...

The same Stat he've been raising so high, INT

"Hey mask, I want to ask you something"

"What?"

"The previous slimes had lower intelligence than this one, right?"

"Yes?"

"And the deeper I go the more intelligent slimes I will find right?"

"Well yeah"

"Does that mean that, if I venture deep enough, I will be able to meet slimes that are intelligence enough to communicate with me?"

"Ohhh, so that's your plan. unfortunately, it's unlikely to happen, for monsters to communicate with humans, they need high wisdom not high intelligence"

"Then what's the point for slimes to have intelligence!!"

"To use skills! Duh. And plus, the amount of intelligence they have, is what dictates the way they live their lives. for example, low intelligence level 1 slimes, can only move around aimlessly, and eat whatever they step on. And the slightly more intelligent level two slimes, have the ability to shoot water balls at other creatures, while they run and hide. But the more intelligent level 4 slimes, can hunt!"

The moment the mask said the word hunt, Alpha got hit by something

It was the water slime shooting water bullets at Alpha

It was just a weak water bullet, it doesn't even do much damage in the first place, and even if it did, Alpha would recover instantly

But just as what the mask said, alpha's HP wasn't that high, which meant that one weak water bullet, have cause him a lot of pain

Knowing the Mana consumption of his wind bullet, and the amount of mana the slime had, it was safe to assume it could shoot three more of those

Feeling that pain three more times was out of the question, so Alpha raised his hand and shot a wind bullets at the slime

what's more, when he killed it, he was quite happy and jumped in celebration

So the mask had to yell at him "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! DID YOU REALLY COMPETE AGAINST A SLIME TO SEE WHO CAN SHOOT BETTER?!!!YOU'RE NOW A HALF IMMORTAL HUMAN BEING FOR GOD'S SAKE!!! DON'T LOWER YOURSELF TO A SLIME'S LEVEL!! AND WHEN DID YOU EVEN START CELEBRATING AFTER KILLING SLIMES? WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?"

Alpha was so ashamed and didn't know what to say, he didn't even know why he did that in the first place

The mask took a deep breath then continued speaking "forget about being happy for killing it, how did it even hit you? Don't you have Mana Zone?"

Turns out, Alpha was spacing out, that's why he didn't notice the slimes attack

But it still doesn't make sense, how could someone with as much intelligence as Alpha, space out for no reason, without mentioning that he have the mental resistance skill, it shouldn't be even possible

Alpha was starting to worry, this time it was a low level slime, but what if it happened another time in the future with a higher level monster

The mask looked at alphas panicked expression and sighed "oh my sweet Alpha, you spacing out is completely normal, that's just your body telling you it needs some rest to adapt to the sudden changes, after all, your intelligence Rose from just 15 to over 1000 in less than 4 days"

So such things can happen, keeping that in mind, Alpha calmed down, then he finally realized it

"Wait, half immortal human?? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Well my dear Alpha, you didn't realize it right? You never was a human in the first place, didn't you see it? When you first checked your status screen, didn't it say your race was a human-ish? And now you've evolved, it's just that simple"

" Wait wait wait wait, how did I even evolve? I don't even remember getting any benefits from that!"

" pff, benefits? Who needs those? Evolving is on itself a great honor, it's just like receiving a medal for doing something great, in your case, getting the millennial title"

"But that's not fair, evolving is a great thing, shouldn't I gain some sort of skill or title for that?"

"The world is not fair. deal with it!"

Alpha didn't believe that the mask actually said that

But it couldn't be helped in the first place, it's not like the mask is the one who is giving him those skills and titles, complaining any further will be stupid

So he calms down, and decided to just pass this floor, but this time, without using magic

he had to give his body some time to adapt to the new changes

Only soon to realize how outrageous that idea was, or at least how annoying

Using magic will allow him to dash through this floor, and finish it in just a few minutes

Now that he have to do everything manually, it will at least take a few hours

he can't even use body strengthening to speed up the process, he can only walk towards every single slime, and kill it with his bare hands

At least he can still use Mana Zone, since that's a passive skill, he can't turn it off in the first place

He located a slime and ran towards it, his plan was just to step on it, and it will die

But what Alpha forgot about, was that slimes on this floor, can attack him back

He was being attacked by every slime he met, and soon enough he ran out of patience

Normal people would have exploded in rage, and killed all the slimes on this floor with magic

But not this guy, someone who have the mental resistance skill, wouldn't fall in rage for such a small reason like this
