The light slowly faded, and the sli's evolution ca to an end.
‘Amazing!’
With this evolution, it could feel its body changing even more than when it first evolved.
An even more intense and powerful sense of its existence rising up swept through the sli.
But it wasn’t scary or frightening.
Because it knew this was part of the evolution process.
In other words, since it knew it was becoming more amazing, it was even more excited.
And after the light completely disappeared, the sli felt a body that was the sa size but much more energetic than before.
Its strength had increased.
Its elasticity had also improved.
However, only the sli itself could directly feel those changes.
▶ What? Just so light and that's it?
▶ It doesn’t look like it changed at all!
To the viewers, it seed like nothing had changed at all.
[Gothic Luxury Bone] ▶ This looks similar to the last evolution. It evolved, but its appearance hasn’t changed.
[Thread Lady] ▶ It’s still so cute right now, so I like it just as it is~.
[Noblesse Fire] ▶ Ah, but it does feel kind of underwhelming. Squishy! Did anything actually change!?
▷ My strength got stronger! I can move faster!
▶ Hahahahaha
▶ Well, that makes sense hahaha
▶ But is that all?
▶ What is that skill called “Vessel of Omnipotence”?
▷ ‘Vessel of Omnipotence!’
After seeing the chat, the sli imdiately checked the Vessel of Omnipotence.
[Vessel of Omnipotence: You can use all the skills you have learned.]
A short and simple description.
First, the sli shared what it saw in the chat.
▷ It’s this!
▶ Can use all the skills you’ve learned?
[Squishy Queen] ▶ Just as I expected!
▶ Then isn’t that totally OP?
[Free Spirit] ▶ Squishy, did anything new get updated in the skill shop?
‘Skill shop!’
The sli imdiately opened the skill shop.
In addition to the skills that were already there, the skills it saw in the evolution options window were also listed.
But there was one difference.
[Amplify: 800 coins]
[Deadly Poison Generation: 900 coins]
[Tentacle Enhancent: 850 coins]
[Vitality Water Generation: 900 coins]
[Devour: 1200 coins]
[Great Vibration: 1100 coins]
The number of coins required was unbelievably higher than before.
On top of that, there were also skills that hadn’t even appeared in the evolution window.
[Divine Recovery: 20,000 coins]
[Golem Summon: 15,000 coins]
[Dumbbell Summon: 10,000 coins]
[Lightning Thorn: 9,000 coins] [Mana Wall: 9,500 coins]
[Fla Transformation: 30,000 coins]
[Warp: 150,000 coins]
‘So many!’
Seeing the long list of items, the sli was shocked.
Not just the number, but also the amount of coins required was on a whole different level.
▷ There are so many!
▶ What? You got so many new skills?
▶ How overpowered was this thing.
▶ Damn! Squishy! Are you the strongest even as an evolved form!?
▶ You’re evolving into so super OP form with only about 3,000 coins~ That’s so unfair!!!
[Noblesse Fire] ▶ I’ve never even used coins since I was born, and I’m still like this!
▶ Species privilege, stop itttttt!!!
[Just Do It First] ▶ >So, what ca out?
▷ This!
The sli quickly scrolled up the list of skills in the shop.
▶ Ahhh! It’s flooding the screen with descriptions!
▶ Why are there so many?
▶ Oh, now the prices are similar to my skill shop?
▶ What, you only evolved twice and it’s like this?
▶ Squishy, aren’t you so strong that you already skipped so evolution stages?
[Squishy Queen] ▶ You’re right. The options that ca out this ti are actually choices that should only appear after evolving several more tis!
▶ I knew it!
When it first showed the initial skills, the chat wasn’t that surprised.
But the mont it posted the later skill list, the chat exploded.
▶ ?????
▶ WTF is that?
▶ There were skills like that!?
▶ Are those coin amounts for real? Hahahaha
▶ What is that last one hahahaha
▶ Even the cheapest ones were over 9,000 coins.
From the viewers’ perspective, this was jaw-dropping.
Because they were just too expensive!
Not only did a bunch of unknown skills appear besides Fla Transformation, but their prices were ridiculously high.
Usually, skills you could buy in the shop were only a few hundred coins.
In most cases, the most expensive skills in other monsters’ shops were around 4,000 to 5,000 coins, and there were only one or two at that price.
That’s why monsters that had gotten stronger and already bought all the skills they needed ended up hoarding coins.
They didn’t have anywhere to spend them, so they would sotis donate them to their favorite strear monsters just for fun.
However, no monster had ever shown a shop with skills costing at least 9,000 coins like the sli just did.
[Squishy Queen] ▶ What are all those bizarre skills! Wait, could those be…! Troll! Weren’t those your skills!!!
They didn’t know about the other skills, but at least they could tell that Golem Summon was Troll’s magic.
Because it was sothing he often used when sparring with the sli.
anwhile.
Troll, who was pointed out, was so shocked that he couldn’t even type in the chat properly.
‘You can buy magic in the skill shop? And that…!’
What was listed in the sli’s skill shop wasn’t just magic.
Divine Recovery.
Even the holy techniques used by priests were listed in the skill shop.
Troll, flustered, quickly started thinking to figure out the common point among the skills listed.
And he ca to one conclusion.
‘They’re all things that were perford in front of Squishy.’
The magic he used was during his sparring with the sli.
Divine Recovery was sothing Alia had demonstrated often in front of the sli.
But even so, there was sothing he still didn’t understand.
Because what Alia showed in front of the sli wasn’t just healing but also the offensive holy technique, Holy Sword.
Also.
‘Why is there a skill called Dumbbell Summon?’
Back then, Troll had created dumbbells by manipulating earth-elent magic.
There wasn’t any magic specialized in making dumbbells.
‘What kind of rule is this…?’
[Squishy Queen] ▶ Troll!!! Can’t you explain what’s going on!!!
He tried to think more, but he decided to respond to the sli queen, who was urging him in the chat first.
[Free Spirit] ▶ Dunno?
▶ Hahahahaha
[Squishy Queen] ▶ “I don’t know” isn’t enough! Explain properly!
[Free Spirit] ▶ I’m super shocked too. Besides, those aren’t even skills originally; they’re magic.
[Squishy Queen] ▶ That doesn’t matter now! Just explain what you know!
▶Is she even asking for an answer or just forcing it? Hahaha
▶ Honestly, Troll didn’t really care.
▶ Lol hurry up and explain~ We’re curious~ Tell us.
‘I’m curious too though…’
Troll first posted what he had deduced in the chat.
[Free Spirit] ▶ I think those are all things Squishy saw directly.
[Free Spirit] ▶ Most of those listed there are things I’ve used in front of Squishy.
[Free Spirit] ▶ Squishy, do you have any idea why those skills are there?
‘An idea?’
In response to Troll’s question, the sli thought deeply.
The common point among those super expensive skills.
If there was one—
▷ I know!
▶ Wait, you know!?
▶ What is it, what is it, what is it!?
▷ I wanted to use them!
▶ ?
▶ ??
▷ I just wanted to use all of them!
▷ I was jealous!
▷ I wanted to heal people like Alia!
▷ I wanted to summon golems like Troll! Sparkly, swoosh swoosh! I wanted to fire things!
▷ I wanted to go everywhere!
‘So that’s what it was.’
From the sli’s chat, Troll got a clue.
He was able to form the most convincing hypothesis.
Vessel of Omnipotence.
This skill was one that allowed the sli to acquire the conditions needed to use any skill it wanted.
In the skill shop, skills that a monster cannot use due to physical limitations or other restrictions do not appear.
However, with Vessel of Omnipotence, the sli could now learn skills like Deadly Poison Generation, which normally only Deadly Slis could learn.
If you assu that Vessel of Omnipotence is a ridiculously overpowered skill that lets the sli learn even abilities it normally couldn’t as a sli—
Then it also made sense why Troll’s magic and Alia’s Divine Recovery showed up in the skill shop.
And it also explained the absurd amount of coins required.
‘It’s definitely because Vessel of Omnipotence allows it to barely acquire those skills.’
From analyzing many monster streams and their complaints, Troll had learned this:
Skills that require a huge number of coins are either extrely powerful or are skills that the monster could just barely be able to use.
He also figured out the difference between Deadly Poison Generation and those other skills that cost drastically more.
Deadly Poison Generation was at least a skill that a sli could potentially acquire.
But the other skills were those used by entirely different beings.
So it made sense that the number of coins required would skyrocket exponentially.
‘And it seems the skill only appears in the shop if the sli wants it.’
As for why it works on that standard, he didn’t know the exact reason.
Because the system was still shrouded in mystery.
[Free Spirit] ▶ I thought it over, and I think that’s probably it.
Troll posted his reasoning in the chat in a way that other monsters could easily understand.
▶ What? So if Squishy saw so old dude breathe fire and thought “I wanna do that too,” would Fire Breathing show up in the skill shop?
[Free Spirit] ▶ Probably would.
▶ LOL
[Squishy Queen] ▶ As expected of my kin! Look at this! This is my kin!
▶ So what? He can’t even use those skills yet anyway.
[Squishy Queen] ▶ Don’t kill the vibe!!!
▶ Hahahahaha
▶ But what’s the point of having them in the shop if you can’t even buy them?
▶ True hahaha
▶ Ahaha, I also have skills I want but can’t buy~.
▶ How hard will Squishy have to work to buy those skills anyway? Hahaha
▶ He’ll probably die of old age while saving up coins?
After Troll’s explanation, the number of monsters who mocked or envied the sli clearly dropped.
Because now there wasn’t really anything to be jealous of!
The viewers already knew.
How hard it is to collect coins once you reach a certain level of strength.
Moreover, the sli was in the Derxia Continent!
A place with weaker monsters on average compared to the Great Continent, so it was basically impossible to gather coins properly there.
Especially for a sli that had gotten even stronger through evolution!
▶ So now Squishy has to work really hard to collect coins?
▶ What? Is Squishy going to do a reverse scale reveal show now?
▶ Where does a sli even have a reverse scale?
▶ Maybe it does?
▶ Really?
[Noblesse Fire] > What do you an “really”! Don’t talk nonsense!!!
▶ Ahahaha, the old dude obsessed with reverse scales is mad hahaha
▶ The fact is, Squishy now has to run around like crazy to earn coins~
After realizing the situation, so viewers started teasing the sli in the chat instead.
‘Hmm, should I take this chance to block a few of these guys?’
Troll wondered if it was ti to step up as a moderator.
At that mont—
“Ventus? Are you done with your business?”
A new worry appeared for Troll as Presia spoke to him.
– Ah! Presia. Wait! Please wait just a mont.
“Is it really just a mont? I wanted to talk with you a bit more…”
– I-I’m done now!
Troll hurriedly closed the stream screen.
