Starting from a eyeball

Chapter 6: Resistance and hidden spaces.



In the game,there's a hidden passage beneath a diamond-shaped purple moss.

Just attack and break the stone wall to open the passage.

In the game's small map,the purple moss is easy to find.

But the real world is way bigger than the game.

Who knows which corner that unnoticeable purple moss is hiding in?

"Croak!"

A frog's call rang out.

Lint quickly turned and looked towards the source of the sound.

A colorful frog hopped out,puffing out its cheeks and staring at Lint.

[Species]Acid Poison Frog

[Level]LV6

[Spirit]19

[Attack]5

[Defense]10

[Skills]Night Vision LV7,Jump LV7,Acid LV4,Weak Poison LV3,Tongue Strike LV3,Corrosion LV2,Adhesion LV2,Spit LV2,Swift LV2,Tongue Bind LV2

[Description]A toxic frog with extremely strong acidic attacks.The acid it spits can corrode armor and steel swords.It's also somewhat poisonous,extremely good at jumping,very swift,and a relatively rare monster.

The moment the appraisal result came out,a mouthful of purple acid,billowing white smoke,shot towards Lint.

The speed was like an arrow off the string.

Sizzle!

The purple acid landed on Lint,and in an instant,it corroded a hole.

It hurt so much!

Lint quickly pulled away,but the Acid Poison Frog was even faster.

It suddenly leaped from the ground,its whole body shooting towards Lint.

In just a moment,it was almost right in front of Lint.

Dark Steel Wire!

Black threads stretched out from the darkness,messily blocking in front of Lint.

The Acid Poison Frog quickly puffed out its cheeks again and spat out another mouthful of acid.

The acid poured onto the Dark Steel Wire.

The tough wire began to corrode bit by bit under the acid.

What strong acid!Lint's pupils shrank.

He didn't hesitate to use the dark energy anymore,and his eyes turned pitch black.

Dark Binding Eye!

Darkness quickly gathered towards the Acid Poison Frog in the air,binding it in mid-air,unable to move.

The moment it was bound,several dark needles,taut like steel nails,stabbed down.

"Combo ,Shadow Bind Needle Assault!"

Looking at the Acid Poison Frog with its head pierced by the Shadow Needle Assault,Lint came up with a name for the move in his mind.

[Defeated Acid Poison Frog LV6,EXP+16]

[Level up to LV5]

[Spirit+2]

[Attack+1]

[Defense+1]

As Lint leveled up,the wounds on his body corroded by the acid began to heal bit by bit.

Then,instead of immediately devouring the frog's body,he endured the pain,landed in the puddle of the frog's venom,and started rolling around.

The acid spread evenly all over Lint's body,beginning to corrode it.

Lint gritted his teeth and let the acid eat away at his body,until...

[Skill Level Reached,New Skill Acquired:Acid Resistance LV1]

With the acquisition of Acid Resistance,the pain in Lint's body suddenly lessened,and his resistance to the acid significantly increased.

To enter that hidden space,he had to have acid resistance,or he wouldn't make it to the end.

Even with Acid Resistance LV1,it wasn't a sure thing.

Lint slowly floated up and landed on the frog's corpse,with dark threads piercing into it.

Then,dark energy and flesh energy flowed into Lint's body non-stop.

Until the frog shrank completely,the Evolution Bar rose by 10%dark energy and 15%flesh energy.

The total progress reached 35%.

This frog is so full of good stuff!

The Evolution Tree also sprouted a new branch,but this new branch was different from the previous ones.

[One-Eyed Shadow Frog(Advanced Form)]was not a basic form,but an advanced form,with only one more evolution to the ultimate form.

This meant that the potential of this evolution path was the same as Lint's current one.

And on the Evolution Tree,the evolution form after[Dark Eye(Basic Form)]was[Multi-Eyed Dark Eye(Advanced Form)]

...which was even more indescribable.

But there was a kind of numerical beauty to it.

The frog was ugly,lacked numerical beauty,and its acid attack didn't match Lint's current combat style or skills at all.

Its potential didn't increase either.

The new branch on the Evolution Tree clearly didn't interest Lint.

Floating to a corner,Lint patiently devoured the darkness to heal his injuries and replenish the consumed dark energy.

In the pitch-black underground,Lint had no idea how much time had passed,just quietly waiting,feeling like his perception of time had become strange.

After his injuries were fully healed,Lint started looking for the hidden space again,following the moss.

He ran into some monsters that were way stronger than him a few times,but he turned and ran thanks to the map's warning,so he didn't get into any danger.

Instead,his Swift skill went up from LV2 to LV3.

He smelled it–the frog's scent!

Floating Lint suddenly stopped.

Following the smell,he found a dip in the ground and saw an Acid Poison Frog in it.

"Stick'em up!Squeeze out all your venom,not a single drop left!"

After a tough fight,the Acid Poison Frog lay on the ground,motionless,and Lint was covered in acid,feeling both pain and joy.

Then he landed on the corpse of the Acid Poison Frogand skillfully absorbed the energy from it.

With the experience from last time and his new Acid Resistance LV1 skill,Lint had plenty of room to fully drain this Acid Poison Frog of its last drop of venom.

His Acid Resistance successfully went up to LV2.

After that,time passed–maybe a day,maybe two.

Time underground was really unclear.Lint kept looking for the hidden space and found five more Acid Poison Frogs,successfully boosting his Acid Resistance,Swift,and Dark Steel Wire skills to LV4.

His level also went up to LV8.

Once his level passed the Acid Poison Frog's level,the experience he got from beating them dropped a lot.

Not just experience,but also in the Evolution Bar–the Acid Poison Frog's bloodline energy only went up to 20%,and no more.

He also absorbed 50%of the dark energy.

The Evolution Bar was now just 5%away from being full.

No way,gotta switch to a different monster to bully.

Lint was getting really good at picking on the weak,and he felt pretty smug about it.indescribability's smugness.jpg

With Acid Resistance at LV4,it wasn't easy to go any higher.

And LV4 was enough to handle that place.

Avoiding the strong monsters,Lint finally found a diamond-shaped purple glowing moss.

And the purple moss was just a little bit away from where he started looking.

If he had looked this way at the beginning,he probably would have found it already.

Now,he had to see if the experience and strategies he got from the game still worked.

Lint took a deep breath,even though there was no air,and got ready.

He aimed at the diamond-shaped moss.

Crash!

His body shot forward,and his hard dark shell hit the moss.
