While the Demon King and the Hero were fighting to the death outside, the lazy Demon King, who was holed up in Titan City, finally grasped this true meaning.

"Crunch, crunch..." (Sound of rapid footsteps)

As dawn breaks, it casts down endless light and warmth, nourishing all living things. The sky is clear and blue, and it's another day full of vitality.

"Ding, mission complete. Reward: 3 Milk, 10 Experience Fruits." (A slightly sarcastic tone of bestowal.)

"I am ready and poised to go."

A fox-man boy dressed in a smart outfit, with a red cloak over his coat and a pure black knight's sword at his waist, stepped into the registration office at the gates of Titan City...

Two rows of well-armored guards stared stiffly at the little fox princess, who had once been a local tyrant but had met a tragic end. The little fox princess had a cross-shaped glint in her eyes and looked full of energy, which made the guards inexplicably uneasy.

As the underground overlord of the eastern district, although he only lasted for one day, the impact he had was far-reaching.

At least, many people at the bottom of society treated Xiao Han with respect, and some decent forces extended olive branches (although the little fox used them for firewood and oil pressing). Anyone in Titan City who knew the little fox held him in high regard.

This is the power of one's own being, the intangible thing that inspires awe.

"That's right. In order to defeat the four great demon kings of the Nordic lands, I, who have changed my class to a newbie hero, need to go out and fight monsters to level up."

Xiao Han, biting into an experience fruit, spoke earnestly amidst the astonishment of the staff.

"Well, cough cough, heroes have to go to the Hall of Heroes to undergo an examination before they can receive divine gifts and become heroes."

An old priest, leaning on his staff and wiping the sweat from his brow, kindly said, "There is no branch of Valhalla in the Nordic region. You can use the magic circle of the Tower of Horus to teleport to the city where Valhalla is located."

"And what is leveling up by fighting monsters?"

"???"

...

The grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, and the noisy wind gently blows by, stirring up huge green waves.

"Come, you monsters invading Titan City! Under the witness of the Norse gods, I, the brave Xiao Han, will engage you in a glorious duel!"

Having received permission to leave the city, Xiao Han looked full of energy, drew his obsidian sword imbued with the power of bull, and pointed it at his destination.

"Squeak?"

The pale blue slimy creature lay sunbathing on the rock, showing none of the valiant courage of the Norse people.

However, just as it sensed Xiao Han approaching, it glanced at him and immediately began to tremble all over.

This wasn't because Xiao Han's expression was terrifying, but because behind the little fox stood hundreds of skeleton soldiers, wielding bone knives, radiating an ominous aura of the undead, and grinning maliciously—a scene that was far from friendly.

Newbie Slime: "..."

Are you a sore loser?

"Farewell, may you walk with a smile on your way to the underworld, leaving behind only pure spirit to fill the universe!"

Xiao Han unleashed his magical power and decisively slashed with his sword. A fireball appeared from the blood on the tip of his sword, blasting the slime into a gooey mess.

Then, Xiao Han commanded several skeleton soldiers to carry wooden buckets and collect the slime that had splattered on the grass.

The quest issued by the Dark Raven Guild was to collect slime, which, when combined with Natasha's alchemical materials, would become something comparable to cement.

Hmm, ten slimes and one bronze eagle.

Xiao Han accepted this benefit without hesitation. Early in the morning, amidst Blood Raven's silence and Natasha's wicked smile, he stepped out the door with a serious expression.

Moreover, a task related to the Dogecoin system was inexplicably triggered...

Task: Bullying the weak and fearing the strong (Repeatable Task 010)

Difficulty: Bronze

Content: Display the fiercest expression and the most domineering power, crush a hundred weak and helpless slimes, and demonstrate the Demon King's courage.

Rewards: Milk x1, Experience Fruit x10

I heard you call me a dog's bastard!

After the slime was destroyed, another slime sprang out from the grass. It was light green and its sharp eyes reminded Xiao Han of the comical ball.

Name: Slime #2 (Naming this was such a hassle)

Race: Slime

Occupation: None

Rank: Iron Tier 3 (Early Stage)

Skills: [Iron Rank], [Venom Spray] (Iron Rank)

Talent: [Slime Power]

Potential: Not yet unlocked

Skill Tree: Unawakened

How could you bear to cause trouble for this weakling? Doesn't your conscience hurt?

The slimes are born in the Moonlit Swamp near Titan City, a place frequented by Radiant when he goes out fishing. Giant frogs, blood-sucking leeches, and other monsters are commonly found there.

Slimes are weak creatures, but they reproduce very quickly. They are immune to physical attacks and have excellent magical immunity. With their overwhelming numbers and high efficiency in consuming resources, they can completely destroy an ecosystem.

"For the bountiful rewards, for money and status, slimes are sacrificed to the heavens!"

With a single sword strike, Xiao Han killed Slime Number Two. His fierce gaze then fell upon dozens of slimes leisurely strolling by a lake.

"Ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora ora..."
