Option two perfectly suited Shami's preference.
Originally, he planned to cultivate the Slime Jelly into the core king of the Slime Tribe, using it to maintain contact with the tribe in the future. Although Slimes increase their intelligence gradually after reaching level 40, which somewhat overlaps with this reward, he still chose option 2. Intelligence is a valuable asset, and any increase is a rare opportunity.
As for reproduction speed, other slimes could take care of that.
Regarding the Slime Ninja... Such a unique Slime would only attract more attention from the Hero, thinking it's a special demon that drops great treasures when killed, thus getting hunted down by more adventuring parties and dying even faster...
[The intelligence of Slime Jelly has been enhanced.]
[Demon King Shami: ...]
Shami was momentarily stunned, was it his turn now?
He felt delighted.
Waiting for rewards is just like drawing cards, it's the most exciting part!
