I found the first chip and the anime dude just went away, i jumped to the right side of the map found a slime blocking my way and found secret passages from the slime guarding at my house, at that point i just jumped around a lot because it was fun.
Good to know, maybe I'll drop another hint or something. You have to talk to an NPC named Landon in one of the houses. He tells you about how to deal with slimes (which also progresses the quest).
