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.

    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.
