Gasp!!!

Lorne gasped when he saw the attributes.

A Boss-level pet could actually have 50,000 health points at Level 1. This was an unimaginable number for players.

As an elite monster, Minotaur One only had 800 health points at Level 1. The difference between the two was too great.

However, Lorne also noticed a problem.

That was—

When the Boss became a pet, its attributes were weakened!

Although the attributes of the panel in front of him were powerful, if he did not include the additional bonus and raised the Slime King’s level to 10, the final attributes should not be as high as the Event Boss earlier.

Lorne understood this point well. After all, in reality, pets reared were no match for wild beasts.

Therefore, he did not think too much about it.

Rather than that, the current Lorne felt that he should cheer, for he now had a mobile medical base that was practically ‘infinite healing’.

[Sticky Spray] was originally an AOE damage skill, but now it was more focused on healing and recovery. The pitiful 100% fixed damage was too mediocre compared to the healing aspect.

Perhaps this was the drawback of synthesizing with the ‘Alchemy Potion’. The damage output was reduced but the recovery effect was amplified.

In regards to this, Lorne had been mentally prepared the moment he had combined it, so he was not disappointed.

However, [Powered Jump], [Healing], and [Summoning of the King] were all weakened to a certain extent, which was out of his expectations.

He felt that perhaps because of the ‘Event’, the system had added additional attributes to the Boss. Otherwise, an ordinary Level 10 Boss would definitely not have 100,000 health points.

This was hard to verify.

But neither did Lorne fixate on this issue.

In any case, he had obtained a Boss-level pet. This was a good outcome!

…

“Now, it’s time to give you a name.” Lorne rubbed his chin in thought.

Naming was a tough job.

However, he had contracted a Boss-level pet this time. He could not be too casual. After all, it would follow him for a long time in the future.

Hmm…

Got it!

His eyes snapped open. “From now on, you shall be called Rimuru.”

Rimuru was an ideal name for a slime.

Hearing this name, the little guy excitedly stuck to the side of his face, making the most intimate contact with him.

Lorne laughed. He liked this “sticky” little guy. It was soft, cool, and, most important, it kept all the members of the party safe.
