Cheat Awakening

As the Eye of the Past touched the round, bubbly head of the slime, it emitted a bright red light and exploded with immense power, instantly killing all slime within a two-meter radius.

Damn! This thing's power was just twice that of a random fireball, and it really exploded very easily. No wonder so many people were injured because of it. If someone was careless, it could easily take a life. But its effect still wasn't enough if you wanted to use it in battle, After a moment of surprise, Myne frowned as he analyzed the explosion's effect and thought seriously.

June, unaware of Myne's curiosity, exclaimed in disbelief. After all, the Eye of the Past wasn't a cheap gadget; it cost two platinum coins, a significant sum for any normal person.

"Why did you throw it away? Did you lose your mind? Didn't I tell you it explode easily? How could you waste such an expensive thing like that?" She asked incredulously.

"No need to make a mountain out of a molehill," Myne replied casually while waving his hand. As a super-rich guy who had enough money to buy half of the kingdom, how can he care about a mere two coins?

"I know what I'm doing, and you don't have to worry about money. Right now, you have more important things to worry about, like how if you don't kill a slime within the next five minutes, I will use the Hypnotize skill I used on Goro-goro to control you and order you to do all kinds of embarrassing things, and then show everyone that dark history of yours. So unless you don't want others to know about your dark history, you better take this dagger and do what you should have... Your time starts now." Saying that Myne placed a dagger in June's hand, took out another Eye of the Past, and distanced himself from her.

Shocked by Myne's threat, June wanted to play cute to save her image from being ruined, but before she could say anything, she saw Myne shaping his fingers, and a one-meter-tall sand clock appeared between them, its sand falling rapidly. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

Realizing that Myne had no intention of giving in, June could only turn her head toward the slimes and walk towards them nervously, tightening her grip on the dagger. But deep down, she still hadn't made up her mind to kill them, which made her hesitate, unsure of what to do.

June didn't know how long she had stared at the slimes, which had surrendered and were trying to climb on her legs. The acid attack of these low-level slimes wasn't powerful, and their quantity wasn't much, just a dozen. June didn't feel anything except a light tickling, which made her even more hesitant to kill these harmless, cute creatures. It was only when Myne called out that she only had one minute left that she came back to her senses and looked at the sand clock, which had almost lost all its sand in the upper section.

After a quick glance at the clock, June looked at Myne, who was giving her an evil smirk while pointing at the Eye of the Past in his hand, his intentions were clearly written all over his face. Thinking about the moment when they would be having dinner, and Myne started playing all kinds of shameful acts of hers, which she was going to commit under his skill effect, and other girls laughing at her, June couldn't help but shiver. Suddenly a firm look of determination appeared in her eyes.

She apologized to the slimes around her with teary eyes, sat down on her knee, lifted the dagger in her hand, closed her eyes, and smashed it hard on the head of the poor slime in front of her.

The feeling of the dagger stabbing the slime's head was no different from stabbing into a thick liquid. It wasn't as weird as June had expected. She slowly opened her eyes, and wanted to see the dead body of the cute creature she had killed heartlessly, but was dumbfounded when she saw the dagger completely disappear into the slime's jelly-like body, and yet the slime was still moving as if nothing had happened, except now it was pinned down to the ground and couldn't jump around.

With a puzzled expression, she looked at Myne, wanting to know what to do next, but found that he was nowhere to be found. Even the sand clock had disappeared, God knows when.@@novelbin@@

Helplessly, she could only depend on herself and continue her ancestor's method to find an answer: experimenting, and learning. She pulled the dagger from inside the slime, leaving a trail of thick liquid behind, which disgusted her greatly. Her impression of slime instantly dropped to ten points. Then, she gulped down her saliva and lightly stabbed the dagger into the same slime again, but as before, it had no effect at all. The dagger simply went inside the slime's watery body and pinned it down on the ground.

Question marks filled June's head. She continued to stab the same slime for the next few seconds, and it wasn't until the twelfth time she stabbed the slime that it exploded with a bang, earning her her first kill achievement.

However, June's troubles had just begun. Because she had wasted a lot of time without moving, before she could enjoy the feeling of her victory, she found herself surrounded by more than thirty slimes. Her legs had already started feeling a burning sensation as if someone was pouring extremely hot water on them because of stay in connect with slime for too long.

June wanted to get away from the slimes to take a breath, but she found that there was no place to put her feet. Unless she heartlessly could stomp on the slimes beneath her feet and flee, there was no way to escape them. As time went on, more and more slimes were emerging from the lake, which was not good news for her.

"Need a hand?"

Just when June was having a panic attack, she heard a voice from behind her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. She hurriedly looked at Myne with tears in her eyes and nodded rapidly, her arms wide open, wanting to him come to her and carry her away.

Although Myne was happy that June had finally overcome her fear and achieved her mission, seeing her surrounded by slimes, the weakest monsters labelled by almost everyone and falling into a desperate situation, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. On the one hand, she knew about a random gadget with information so detailed that could shock people, but on the other hand, she didn't even have the common sense that slimes are highly resistant to physical attacks because of their watery bodies and require powerful and rapid attacks to deal with them.

Shaking his head, Myne cast his Etheric Marionette skill, a lesser version of telekinesis skill, lifted June a meter above the ground, and made her float toward him.

June had never experienced the feeling of flying, and like most people, she also had a fear of heights. For a second, she was scared to death when her feet left the ground, but seeing that she wasn't going to fall on the ground, her fear soon turned into amazement, and she started enjoying the feeling of levitating in the air.

"Can you do it again? This time I want to fly a bit higher," June said excitedly, hugging Myne's arm with stars in her eyes after landing beside him.

"Oh, sure. If you perform well in your upcoming training, I will give you such a flying experience that even if you want, you will never be able to forget it," Myne replied with a forced smile while nodding his head. June didn't realize the sarcasm in Myne's words and started dreaming excitedly about how she was going to fly like a bird in the sky. However, suddenly, she heard Myne's next words, which made her break out in a cold sweat.

"But now, are you ready for punishment? According to the rules, you have to kill a slime within five minutes, which, unsurprisingly, you failed to do," Saying that, Myne gently tapped June's forehead and put her under hypnosis before she could pretend to be cute and beg for mercy.

Because this was her first time, and she had overcome her fear, Myne was still quite satisfied with her performance. So, he didn't make it difficult for her. He activated the Eye of the Past's recording function and ordered the hypnotized June to dance in front of him.

There was no music or anything in the background, and June didn't know anything about dancing, so her performance could only be summed up in two words: extremely embarrassing. Watching June make all kinds of random movements that she had ever seen in her life and subconsciously performing them, was so awkward that just two minutes after she started dancing, Myne could no longer watch it and turned his head to the other side. But the recording didn't stop, and he was determined to collect enough material to give June enough motivation to fully focus on her training.

June's embarrassing dance lasted for nearly ten minutes before Myne made her stop and put away the Eye of the Past, fearing that after waking up, June would fight him to the death to destroy her dark history. Because the hypnosis skill had a specific restriction that made the victim remember everything they did during the time they were hypnotized, Myne didn't have to show June what she had done.

And just as he expected, as soon as Myne removed the hypnosis effect, like an angry lioness, June rushed toward him with a furious expression. The killing intent in her eyes was so significant that for a moment, Myne even thought June would surely kill him to save her image.

"Damn you, bastard! Quickly give me that Eye of the Past, otherwise you're done for!" June's face was flushed red. She roared angrily and grabbed Myne's neck with both hands, shaking him hard as if she wanted to strangle him to death.
