The Beast Tamer Is A Slime

However, contrary to Neo's imagination, John didn't react strongly and just gestured at the slime to watch Charlie's process of cooking. 

Coincidentally, when Neo looked at Charlie again, the boy was using a skill. 

A strange special effect shrouded the boy from head to toe, and he suddenly wore a strange chef uniform! 

Then, he started to do a series of cooking movements, as smooth as flowing water. 

The young boy, who was so shy before, suddenly looked stern in the special effect, which was both a plot twist and strange when implemented in cooking a bunch of rocks, weeds and mushrooms. 

The special effects made it as if Charlie was cooking for a prestigious competition...

After a series of special effects, the boy returned to his usual shy state. 

After waiting for a few more minutes, the boy actually actively invited the five hunters to eat. 

"E-everyone, the food is ready. I-if you don't have enough to eat, I-i can still cook more..." 

Without further ado, Lina, Remy, Daniel and even John, immediately scrambled towards the boiling pot. 

Each of them took out a metal spoon from their backpacks and directly took some soup from the pot! 

Neo was sitting on John's shoulder and could see John's eager movement to scoop up some slime corpse soup with weeds, mushrooms and rocks as toppings. 

The slime almost sent John to a mental hospital on the spot. 

[Are you crazy, hooman?? Why are you eating this sh*t? Even if that cowardly hooman uses a skill to cook, the ingredients don't change at all!] 

The transparent slime mucus that turned into a thick soup was still the same slime's corrosive liquid. 

The weeds, mushrooms and even the rocks remained the same. 

What kind of dish is this?? 

But John and his other three teammates didn't care and directly gobbled up such a strange dish! 

Only Tom and Neo looked at each other across the piping hot soup, feeling that only the two of them were normal. 

Neo gave up on persuading John, but after a few minutes, he started to feel strange. 

Umm....is it just a feeling, or the aroma of the "food" suddenly became so inciting? 

It was as if the soup was a delicacy. 

Tom also sniffed the air and looked at the pot of soup with wide eyes. 

Something is wrong. 

The other four hunters who were eating didn't react much to the strange inciting smell and they kept eating the "food" with relish. 

Neo even saw John munching on the rocks as if they were candies, not rocks! 

How strange. 

Driven by curiosity, Neo slid down John's shoulder without the man realizing and slowly crawled into the small pot. 

The pot wasn't big, only half the size of a rice cooker. 

But when Neo stood in front of it, it looked like a metal mountain for his palm-sized body. 

Neo had no choice but to "climb" the pot, slowly feeling the heat from the pot intruding his body. 

Neo didn't know, but the hunters who were eating inexplicably saw a golden slime painstakingly climbing the metal pot while its whole body slowly turning red, like a cooked lobster! 

Seeing the little ancestor courting death, John's heart skipped a beat and he hurriedly caught the little slime in one breath. 

Before Neo could protest, John had already scolded him bloody through telepathy. 

[Ancestor! Please don't be wilful! What if you fell into the soup pot and was cooked alive??] 

That won't be funny! 

[If you want to eat, here, I'll take it for you! Just don't go by yourself.] 

John quickly scooped another spoonful of small rocks with weeds, not forgetting the slime liquid soup base. 

Before Neo could even retort the man, the man had already forcefully stuffed the spoon into Neo's "mouth". 

Others couldn't differentiate between a slime's face and buttocks, but John, as the slime's tamed beast, could. 

Neo had no choice but to accept the spoon in his mouth and slowly gnaw on the things inside, making his pouty mouth tremble like a wave. 

Others could only see the little golden slime slowly nibbling on the small spoon, not knowing that at this moment, Neo almost subconsciously activated [Absorb] skill. 

It wasn't because of anything else but because the system panel suddenly gave him a notification! 

DING! [Found a suitable material to absorb.] 

[Absorb: Yes or No?] 

Neo had never received such a notification before, not even when he absorbed the four daggers. 

He immediately thought that this change happened because he leveled up from F-rank to E-rank. 

But Neo was immediately hit with another wave of confusion. 

He tried to eat rocks before, and he couldn't even activate the [Absorb] skill because it didn't meet the requirement of the skill. 

He could only absorb processed materials. 

Cooking is also a way to process materials, but...[Absorb] skill could only be triggered when there was a material that could let the slime level up. 

He actually found it in this strange soup! 

Neo widened his eyes as he hurriedly activated the [Absorb] skill. 

Soon, the slime completed the set of funny special effects and saw a change in his EXP bar. 

+ 1 EXP 

+ 1 EXP 

+ 1 EXP 

Countless small EXP points flew all over the EXP bar. 

These small points were just a drop in the bucket compared to the required EXP to level up, but it shocked Neo inside out. 

What the hell?? He just ate random food that the cowardly hooman cooked! 

This food actually gave him EXP! 

Neo quickly looked at John, wanting to confirm the effect of the food, but John had already guessed what he wanted to ask. 

The man immediately spoke with a smug smile.

[Charlie's food doesn't have any effect on boosting our stamina, status or other things, but I guess it can help you level up.] 

John told Neo about Charlie's personal skill, which made the four teammates agree to bring Charlie to the dungeon. 

[His personal skill is called [Everything Is Edible]. It's a B-rank skill that changes something inedible to edible!]
