Chapter 586 Inheritance (49)
The Mimic Slime couldn't help trembling when it felt Lin Fan's eyes fall onto it.
It remembered all of the things that had happened when it had been trapped inside of the barrier that Lin Fan had done and it couldn't help feeling more afraid.
But at the same time, it didn't know why it felt this fear.
After all, there was nothing that was restraining it now that Feng Yu's soul fragment had disappeared. However, it felt like there was something inside of it that was making it feel fearful of Lin Fan.
It was a very strange feeling, but it couldn't resist it.
So in the end, it could only follow that instinct and…
The Mimic Slime bounced over to where Lin Fan was and acted cute to get his sympathy.
But of course, Lin Fan wasn't fooled by that.
Lin Fan just looked down at the Mimic Slime and said, "I know that you can talk, so tell me what you can do."
The Mimic Slime stopped moving when it heard this.
It stayed there for a few seconds before suddenly saying, "What do you want to know? I think that it should be very clear what I can do based on my name, right? That's my only ability, so there's not much to talk about."
Lin Fan revealed a smile when he heard this before saying, "Is that really all that you can do? If it really is as you say, then I'll accept it. But if you tell me that you have other abilities later, then I'll take it that you lied to me."
Though he was smiling, the smile didn't seem to reach his eyes.
The Mimic Slime couldn't help trembling again when it heard this.
It had lied, but that was because lying was a part of its nature.
The Mimic Slime was a creature that survived by imitating others and using lies as its weapons. This particular Mimic Slime was one of the older members of its race, so it had been living with lying to others for a long time.
The lies that had been a part of its nature flowed naturally and the lies came out before it could even stop itself.
After realizing this, the Mimic Slime seemed to press itself down like it was bowing its head before saying, "No, that was a lie. There are other things that I can do as well."
With that, it told Lin Fan all about the things that it could do and gave him a demonstration.
Lin Fan just simply listened to the Mimic Slime as it told him all of this.
He didn't seem surprised because…he already knew that this was what the Mimic Slime was capable of.
After all, he had been able to see all of the abilities that the Mimic Slime had once he tamed it. They were all shown in the status screen that was generated for the Mimic Slime, so he knew all about the abilities that it had.
If it still lied to him, then he might consider finding a way to seal off this Mimic Slime until he was capable of controlling it.
But since it told the truth, it meant that there was hope for this Mimic Slime.
Since he was able to get it to tell the truth, that meant that he was able to train the Mimic Slime in the future.
As long as he worked with this Mimic Slime, he was certain that he would be able to get it to support him properly. It would become one of the trump cards in his hand since it was a creature that was dangerous enough that even a powerful cultivator like Feng Yu was worried about letting it live.
Once the Mimic Slime finished explaining and demonstrating the abilities that it had, Lin Fan gave a nod before moving on to the next topic.
"What forms can you take?"
The Mimic Slime was surprised to hear this, but then it suddenly jumped up and took the form of Feng Yu that it took before.
Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows slightly when he saw the Mimic Slime in this form.
When he saw the Mimic Slime in this form, he couldn't help thinking of his encounter with the Mimic Slime just now.
If possible, he didn't want to see the Mimic Slime in this form, so he said, "No, not this one."
The Mimic Slime was surprised by the tone of Lin Fan's voice, so it quickly released this form and returned to the black blob form that it had before. Then after thinking about it, it took many different forms from memory to show Lin Fan all of the forms that it could take.
Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised by all the different forms that the Mimic Slime had, especially how detailed each of the forms were.
If the Mimic Slime in its transformed state was beside the targets that it transformed into, even their parents wouldn't be able to tell the two of them apart. That was just how detailed the Mimic Slime's transformation was.
The Mimic Slime was aware of this, so it showed off the special birthmarks, scars, and other distinguishing features that it got right with each form to Lin Fan. It was as if it took pride in its transformation ability.
Though it was awkward when it stripped in its female forms for Lin Fan since he felt strange about seeing these forms naked.
It was almost like a strange form of peeking since the Mimic Slime could transform into anyone that it saw. So in a way, it was like stealing looks at that person's body without them knowing…
He knew that it shouldn't be wrong, but it just felt wrong for some reason…
So Lin Fan forbid the Mimic Slime from doing something like this in the future.
The Mimic Slime was confused by this, but it followed Lin Fan's instructions in the end.
After seeing the limits of the Mimic Slime's abilities, Lin Fan asked, "Can you transform into an appearance based on image alone?"
The Mimic Slime was confused and surprised by this question, but it slowly gave a nod and then shook its head before saying, "I don't know. I've never done anything like this before."
This was a completely new idea that Lin Fan had presented, but it was willing to give it a try.
So Lin Fan raised his hand and used his spiritual energy to draw an image.
This wasn't the perfect image since there were no colours to it, but the Mimic Slime did its best to follow this image. In the end, the Mimic Slime was able to match it, but Lin Fan could tell that it was basically using features from the different forms that it had shown him before.
It was clear that this Mimic Slime had a limitation in terms of imagination, so it was drawing on real life examples to make up for that.
But that was fine since this was a mishmash of different faces, so it wasn't as if it looked like a single face.
Then again, that was how most people were.
Facial features that seemed similar, but in reality they were different when they came together.
It was actually quite similar to the image that Lin Fan had presented it, but there were still a few things that had to be changed.
For example, the colour of the hair and a few other things since there weren't any colours in the image that he gave.
When it was done, Lin Fan couldn't help being surprised by how similar the Mimic Slime looked to the picture that he had drawn with his spiritual energy.
Once the Mimic Slime was done changing forms, Lin Fan looked it over before saying with a satisfied nod, "Good, you'll do fine like this."
The Mimic Slime looked at itself and it also couldn't help giving a satisfied look.
It had to admit that Lin Fan's tastes were quite good, the form that Lin Fan had it take was really quite handsome.
Lin Fan then continued by saying, "From now on, you'll be following me as my butler."
The Mimic Slime was surprised to hear this, but since it was Lin Fan's order, it had no choice but to follow this order.
"As you wish, master."
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Call me young master."
The Mimic Slime couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a strange look when it heard this, but it still said, "Yes, young master."
Lin Fan gave a satisfied nod, but there were still some other things that he wanted to change about the way that the Mimic Slime acted.
"First, if you want to become a proper butler, you'll need to change the way that you're standing…"
The Mimic Slime was taken aback by how much enthusiasm was suddenly in Lin Fan's voice. However, it also listened and took note of everything that Lin Fan did, changing its posture while listening to him.
The two of them went on like this until the Mimic Slime acted the way that Lin Fan wanted it to act.
As one final thing, Lin Fan said, "Finally, the last thing that I need from you is for you to use this catchphrase whenever you introduce yourself or do something special."
The Mimic Slime couldn't help revealing a strange look when it heard this.
But Lin Fan just ignored it and said, "From now on, your catchphrase is 'I'm one hell of a butler'."
If this was his world, he might have felt some shame…
But since this was another world, he would live out his fantasies.
