#16 - Chapter 16 Unable to Upgrade

Day Eleven: The Flame Rat appeared, telling you that eight days had passed and demanding you hand over the crystal from the bottom of the water.

You noticed that the Flame Rat was much more polite than before. You knew this was a result of your strength.

You deeply despised the Flame Rat's behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The Flame Rat was furious.

The battle ignited instantly.

As the water in the puddle began to evaporate, the battle quickly ended.

The Flame Rat couldn't defeat you, but you couldn't defeat it either. Instead, with the battle, the water in the puddle was almost completely gone.

You proposed to hand over the crystal tomorrow without fail.

The Flame Rat hesitated. After you gave it a few red fruits, along with some kind words, it finally left.

Day Twelve: The Flame Rat didn't come. You knew it was because the Black Cat had appeared in this area.

That night, you heard rustling sounds.

You knew it was the Black Cat eating the paralyzed rat skewers.

You quietly came to the surface and, sure enough, saw the Black Cat.

This time, you were extremely careful, hiding yourself, and the Black Cat didn't notice you.

It ate ten skewers, licking its lips with satisfaction. Finally, it looked at the remaining paralyzed rat skewers with some reluctance before limping away.

You were stunned. One of the Black Cat's hind legs was broken in the middle.

Day Thirteen: The Flame Rat still hadn't appeared. You knew it was afraid of the Black Cat's aura.

All day, you held the crystal and cultivated.

That night, you heard movement again and quietly came to the surface.

Sure enough, the Black Cat appeared again. It ate somewhat reluctantly. This time it ate very little, only six skewers. Several skewers were left on the ground, and it hesitated.

Finally, as if it had made a decision, it walked straight into the distance.

You could tell that it wasn't full.

You rushed out of the water and called out to it.

The Black Cat stopped, turned, and stared at you. Being stared at by those yellow pupils, you felt a chill run down your spine.

You suppressed the fear in your heart and told it that the rat skewers were yours and it could eat them as it pleased.

The Black Cat hesitated for a moment, then turned back and ate all the remaining paralyzed rat skewers. Then, staring at you, it said in a deep voice, "Why are you offering me food?"

You didn't answer its question, but told it that you could make this delicious food, but you didn't have any rats on hand. Moreover, you knew where to find rats.

You pointed out the Flame Rat's location to the Black Cat. The Black Cat stared at you for a while, then left.

Day Fourteen: You didn't know if the Flame Rat had been executed by the Black Cat, but the Black Cat didn't show up either.

...

Day Sixteen: Neither of them had appeared. You couldn't wait any longer and personally went to the Flame Rat's cave.

You found it was empty.

You were puzzled when a black shadow suddenly descended.

You were shocked, but claws didn't appear.

You turned around and found that the Black Cat had injuries, though slight, you noticed them.

The Black Cat calmly said, "The Flame Rat ran away."

After saying that, it glanced at you and limped away.

You were surprised that the Flame Rat was able to escape from the Black Cat's grasp this time, and at the same time, you were helpless. The Flame Rat had escaped, so how could you take revenge?

You returned to the puddle and found that the water had dried up.

You knew you had to find a new place.

Day Seventeen: You couldn't find a place with water. Your body became extremely shriveled.

Day Eighteen: You knew you couldn't continue moving anymore, or you would die today. You struggled back to the puddle.

Day Nineteen: You were shriveled to the size of a fist, and death could come at any time.

You looked at the crystal beside you, hesitating whether to swallow it.

Day Twenty: You couldn't hold on any longer. You looked at the crystal beside you, preparing to swallow it, at least to gain some experience.

Just as you struggled to open your mouth, preparing to swallow the crystal, a large amount of water fell from above, landing in the pit and all over you.

Like a sponge, you quickly expanded. After a moment, your body returned to its original size, and your vitality was fully restored.

You looked at the remaining water at the bottom of the pit and came to the surface.

You saw the Black Cat lying beside it. At its feet were the dying Flame Rat and a long bamboo tube.

Water was still dripping from the end of the bamboo tube.

The Black Cat saved you.

To thank the Black Cat, you used 'Chaotic Unparalleled Fist Technique' to beat the Flame Rat into a meat pie, finally relieving your hatred. You felt very relaxed.

Faced with the Black Cat's confusion, you euphemistically said it was to make the meat more tender and delicious.

The Black Cat believed you and even wanted to swing its claws a few times to make the meat even more minced.

Day Twenty-Three: The Black Cat brought another bamboo tube of water, filling most of the puddle.

After you inquired, you learned that there was a spring about five kilometers north that flowed at night and dried up during the day.

You couldn't imagine how the Black Cat limped five kilometers to bring you water.

You were very grateful and put more paralyzing grass juice in the Flame Rat's meat.

Day Twenty-Four: The Black Cat got more water, almost filling the puddle.

You noticed that the Black Cat had injuries.

Could it have encountered a strong enemy on the road?

After eating the marinated paralyzed Flame Rat meat, the Black Cat refused your invitation to stay and left freely.

Before leaving, it told you not to expose the crystal at the bottom of the water to other magical beasts.

Your heart skipped a beat as you watched the Black Cat's limping figure disappear from view.

Day Twenty-Five: You held the crystal and cultivated all day.

Day Twenty-Six: You decided to travel a distance north.

You did what you thought of, and after eating and drinking your fill, you set out on the road.

Now you can last for most of the day without water while active. If you can rest in the shade for a while, lasting a day is not a problem.

You spent most of the day traveling 1,500 meters north of the puddle. There were many powerful magical beasts here, and the auras they emitted were comparable to the Flame Rat.

You felt hostility from them.

Scared, you quickly returned the way you came.

Day Twenty-Seven: You cultivated in the puddle.

...

Day Fifty-Four: You have been cultivating in the puddle with the crystal for this period of time, and you feel that your strength has reached a bottleneck.

You know that you have reached the peak of Tier 1 Level 1.

However, subconsciously, you clearly perceive that you seem unable to level up, or rather, your potential is only Tier 1 Level 1. This is your max level, with no possibility of going higher.

You are extremely lonely and unwilling to believe this reality. You are unwilling to always be just a Tier 1 Level 1 Slime.

Day Fifty-Six: You cultivated for a day, and the feeling of a bottleneck and inability to level up became stronger.

Day Fifty-Seven: Same as yesterday...

Day Fifty-Eight: No change...

Day Fifty-Nine: You were a little helpless and stopped cultivating.

You are indeed just an ordinary Slime, and even with a system, you can't change your innate aptitude.

You fell into deep doubt...
