Demon King, Don’t Run Away

Chapter 2: Can't afford to offend

Views:

In his long life, Yang Yu has conquered countless RPGs. He had long ago figured out a set of key points for the strategy and wrote them down in a small notebook.

The most important one is

"If you encounter a monster that is much stronger than you, and you are not fully prepared, you must decisively abandon your strategy and run away immediately to preserve your strength. Remember, you must not act on impulse and directly attack it with a flying dragon, or you will die without a burial place."

Seeing the harmless and vicious slime slowly crawling, Yang Yu strictly put his theory into practice. Among the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best one, so he ran away without saying a word.

My own attributes are not even a fraction of a slime. I can't afford to offend you.

Could it be that some cheater had traveled through time and space as a slime and happened to meet me? Forgive me for being blunt, but only a stronger cheater can defeat such a slime.

Sorry, I'm just a weak and helpless villager. I don't have a one-hit kill and I can't reach level 999 with one sword. I think you are trying to make things difficult for me, Fat Tiger, by dealing with such a slime.

There are also procedures and strategies for seeking death, and such free gifts must be decisively rejected.

Not everyone is a hero who can shout "Stella" to everyone he meets, turn into a meteor in the sky, destroy the sky, the earth, and the air in seconds, and exchange his or her sacrifice for countless experience and dog food.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yang Yu's smile twisted.

It's clearly still in the novice stage, players are not yet familiar with the basic operations, players have not learned any skills and can only use normal attacks, but they have created such an insurmountable mountain.

A game like this will definitely not sell.

It is worthy of being a game made by God. It simply achieves things that ordinary humans cannot do.

It makes people's blood boil and they are impressed.

It is impossible to be discouraged. On the contrary, what kind of sense of accomplishment and satisfaction will you get by defeating a seemingly unbeatable opponent through your own efforts? Yang Yu felt a little excited when he thought about it.

There is no unbeatable opponent in a good game.

God loves games so much, it is impossible for the games he makes to be shitty from the beginning.

There must be a reason why the slime appeared there, and there must be some strategy to defeat it.

The common method is to increase the level. There is no way to increase the level at present. Even if you increase the level, you probably can't beat that slime. You will just be pressed to the ground by it, triggering the unbearable defeat CG.

If upgrading is not an option, the only option left is to collect intelligence.

After returning to the Novice Village, Yang Yu, despite being tired, ran around, asking every household for information about the slimes. He also conducted a carpet search to look for hidden items or NPCs that could be recruited.

In most RPGs, the childhood sweetheart will become the protagonist's first teammate, either a nanny or a magician, complementing the male protagonist.

But here, let alone a female childhood sweetheart, Yang Yu didn’t even see anyone of his own age, so naturally there was no specific plot related to any childhood sweetheart.

emmmm

I think I'm a villager. The plot of having a childhood sweetheart who has secretly married someone is triggered by people with the protagonist's aura. It has nothing to do with me. Since you have chosen to start as a civilian, don't dream of some plots that can only be triggered by the protagonist's aura.

Facing the reality, Yang Yu continued to go door to door, collecting information about the slime.

Finally, apart from some unreliable legends, there are only two pieces of information that can be used:

1. Slime never attacks people actively. It will only fight back after you attack and hit it. The first attack is very slow, even a child can dodge it. You can take it as a warning that the slime is about to attack.

2. If you encounter a slime that is too strong, try throwing the four-leaf clover in your hand. The slimes will eat the four-leaf clover and you can take advantage of the gap to escape.

What kind of chemical reaction will occur between the four-leaf clover and the slime

Is it simply used as food, or will it cause hallucinations in slimes like catnip? For the purpose of the strategy, we must find out.

There are three-leaf clovers in the forest near the village, and it is not difficult to collect them. Four-leaf clovers are rare variants of three-leaf clovers, but they symbolize luck.

Strategy games don't need unreliable things like luck.

If you want to draw what you want, the best way is not to keep drawing before the goods are shipped, but to buy the entire prize pool. There is still a large field of three-leaf clover, and a few four-leaf clovers are still available.

After spending an entire afternoon searching through the clover fields near the Novice Village and collecting a few four-leaf clovers, Yang Yu set out along the trail without stopping, looking for a lone slime. Not far away, he saw a light blue slime rolling leisurely on the grass beside the trail.

Open the Properties panel:

[Slime Level: LV5 HP: 192/192 MP: 61/61

Attributes: Strength 38, Defense 146, Intelligence 36, Special Defense 176, Agility 18, Stamina 20

Resistance: Physical 50%

It is almost the same as the slime in the morning, exuding the aura of a boss, and its extremely high attributes are like an insurmountable mountain.

This game has a very high degree of freedom, which means you can die more happily. No, there are more strategies.

Among these numerous routes, finding the safest one is the key to passing the level with one life.

Taking a deep breath and chewing a bitter herb, Yang Yu adjusted his body to the best condition. Then he swung his sword, deliberately avoiding the slime and slashing it beside it.

Several weeds snapped, and the Slime remained motionless and calm, as if it didn't notice the streak of light passing by.

If I don't move, the enemy won't move; if I move, the enemy will move.

Picking up the sword, Yang Yu used all his strength to chop at the slime's jelly-like body.

The sword was slippery and bouncy, and the feeling of hitting the slime was like a wooden stick hitting a round ball. Yang Yu used all his strength to control it so that it did not slip from his hand to other places.

Where the sword and the slime touched, red words indicating the damage done slowly appeared.

HP-1.

"Tsk tsk, at least it's not 0."

The damage was completely within expectations. Yang Yu jumped away instantly and monitored the slime's every move.

The slime stretched its body like a large piece of taffy, swaying back and forth, declaring an attack, and then slowly bounced up from the ground like a bouncing ball.

It charged at an extremely slow speed, and it was more like a playful pounce than an attack. A simple turn could easily avoid it.

He shook his body to avoid the attack. For safety reasons, Yang Yu did not continue to attack, but instead threw out a four-leaf clover.

The slime's attention was instantly attracted by the four-leaf clover. Faced with the sweet temptation, it jumped up without hesitation and wrapped the four-leaf clover into its jelly-like body. After a short while, the four-leaf clover disappeared without a trace.

A message popped up on the panel: [The Slime's status has changed to friendly]

Simply becoming friendly is not enough, only by defeating the slime can the mission be completed.

Yang Yu picked up the weapon without hesitation and slashed at the slime.
