Back in her sister's room, Ellie felt like her world had completely collapsed!
"Sister, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that you've been dragged into this!"
Tears streamed down their faces, and soon the two sisters embraced each other, sobbing uncontrollably.
Luo Fan didn't know how to comfort them, so he could only stay silently to the side and wait for them to vent their sorrow, but he couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Yes, it'll be better if you cry it out!"
"With such an irresponsible father, it's better to leave as soon as possible."
"This is a complete slap in the face right from the start. Could this girl be the legendary chosen one? It seems there really is such a thing."
"A sick sister, a missing mother, a hateful father, and a broken woman."
"Well, maybe there will be a 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river' scenario, and the 'don't underestimate a young girl's poverty' drama."
Recalling those novel excerpts from his past life, Luo Fan suddenly felt it was quite possible. It's just that those who stayed by these people's side all seemed to be in pretty bad shape.
"I'm her pet now, it shouldn't be that bad! No, I need to level up properly and play it safe, otherwise I'll be at risk of being fed at any time."
"Fortunately, my speed of condensing magic essence has increased by at least 50%, and I will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future!"
The crying in the room gradually subsided, and slowly, Liz fell asleep. Only Ellie continued to endure the mental attacks from her pet, unable to understand the meaning behind some of its words.
"Its speed of condensing magic essence has increased by 50%?" She understood this. The series of conflicts before had left her no time to calm down and properly feel that change.
In her memory, the improvement of the master after the contract is usually greater than that of the pet, since only pets with higher magic affinity than themselves have the opportunity to be summoned.
So it actually improved by 50%, and she knew that only pets of outstanding quality or higher could achieve this effect.
Pets are divided into eight grades from low to high: Common, Average, Excellent, Rare, Outstanding, Uncommon, Legendary, and Supreme. The improvement is more significant as you go up the grade. Legendary and above can bring more than double the boost to the owner.
Could this thing be a treasure?
Suppressing her doubts, Ellie quickly wiped away her tears and began to meditate, communicating with the magical elements between heaven and earth.
Sure enough, the speed at which magical elements condensed increased significantly, almost doubling.
Ellie was startled by the speed. She opened her eyes and stared at the dark, slime in front of her. Could this thing be of near-legendary quality?
However, even slimes of superior quality or higher have never appeared in history, not even those of excellent quality or higher! Furthermore, research on slimes is extremely scarce.
Ellie suddenly felt like she had struck gold, and her whole demeanor became much more energetic.
"Has this woman gone mad? Why is she staring at me like that?" Luo Fan was unaware of the change in Ai Li's mood at this moment. He realized that the owner was the one in control of this interaction.
"You're the one who's gone idiot!" Finally unable to stand his endless ramblings, Ellie shouted in her mind.
"Oh no, she heard me again. This damn telepathy. Master, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, please don't be angry."
"I'm not angry! Luo Fan, tell me, what abilities do you have?"
"I... I can only split. Everything else is just an inherent instinct of slimes, like spitting." Seeing her expression soften, Luo Fan revealed his little secret.
He would never tell her that he now possessed nearly ten thousand small magic cores, a veritable super-multi-core drive. Splitting himself into multiple forms was a piece of cake for him.
Only split? She didn't believe it. Legend has it that pets only have one skill, but no one would believe that if you told them.
Multi-core? After carefully examining her pet, Ellie finally understood the difference between this thing and a regular slime.
Those tiny, dark dots were actually its magic cores; there were so many that they were impossible to count, and you couldn't see them unless you looked closely.
An ordinary slime only has one magic core, so she contracted thousands upon thousands of slimes at the same time? No wonder the previous ritual almost drained all her magic power.
The key is that this thing can even communicate, making it a truly high-end device. Thinking about this, Ellie's mood improved considerably, and a smile appeared on her face.
Indeed, never underestimate a young girl's poverty!
Now that she has completely left the suffocating family, Ellie suddenly finds that everything around her has become beautiful.
But the thought of his meager savings gave him a headache.
Upon returning home, Marquis Claire announced that he was severing ties with Ellie.
"You might as well sell her to the Duke over there; you might even get a reward," the second wife kindly suggested, seeing her husband's somewhat disheveled appearance.
"You think I don't want to? You know her mother's personality. If she finds out, the consequences will be quite serious. She's a madwoman!" Carlisle threw away the corroded clothes, still indignant.
"Isn't she imprisoned in the Demon Sealing Tower right now?"
"But she can still get out! Alright, don't worry about her now, focus on raising your two precious sons!"
"Hmm, Xiuqi and Xiupi are definitely stronger than that girl, at least they won't contract a slime."
"That's for sure."
The turmoil in Sacred Heart City was reignited by the statement from the Marquis Claire's family. Now almost everyone knows about the eccentric nobleman who made a contract with a slime and was ultimately abandoned by his family.
The world of magic and martial arts has always been this cruel; even the most favored talents can be instantly reduced to the bottom.
After two days of rest, Ellie finally recovered from the previous ordeal. With Luo Fan slung over her shoulder, she headed towards the magic academy.
Ignoring the pointing fingers and sarcastic remarks from the street, Ellie regained her composure.
For her sister's sake, she had to pull herself together.
"Hey, isn't this the legendary Black Slime? How dare you bring a slime out here and embarrass yourself!"
An annoying voice came from behind her, and Ai Li, realizing it was Yasuo, quickened her pace.
"Don't run away, hahaha!" Yasuo laughed and chased after her. For so many years, he had been suppressed by Ai Li, and now he could finally feel comfortable.
"You think you're safe once you're in the academy? I won't let you off the hook in the upcoming practical lessons!"
"Okay, I'll be waiting. Don't regret it later!" Without pausing, Ellie walked towards the classroom.
"You bitch, don't think you're so great just because you've reached the beginner mage level. Wait until I take down your pet, then let's see how arrogant you'll be." Spitting, Yasuo slowed his pace.
In the world of gods and demons, mages are roughly divided into nine ranks: Apprentice, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, Grand Mage, Archmage, Grand Archmage, Saint Archmage, and finally, God of Magic. Each rank is further subdivided into nine levels, representing different levels of magical power.
Yasuo hasn't broken through to the level of an apprentice mage yet, but he's not far from it.
In the classroom, Ellie quietly sat down in her seat. The classmates who had previously fawned over her now kept their distance, and many were whispering among themselves, occasionally uttering words that were meant to disparage her.
"Ellie, are you alright?" Daisy walked over and looked at her friend, who seemed quite calm.
"Thank you, Daisy, I'm fine." Looking at the adorable snow woman hiding behind Daisy, and then at the dark thing on the table, Ellie was still incredibly envious.
"Wow, what a pretty girl! And that little one is so cute too, I love it!" Luo Fan's eyes widened as he saw the two approaching creatures, afraid of missing any details.
"Don't talk, or I'll take you back!" Ellie thought to herself. Although she was a treasure, her personality was just too much for her to handle.
Why does this thing like pretty girls so much? Shouldn't it like slimes?
She was still speechless when she recalled his previous answer.
"I just like beautiful primates. I wouldn't even want those stupid slimes!"
You're a slime yourself, yet you're complaining about it.
