"Exp! Exp! Exp! Oh, exp how good are theee!" As I sing a strange song, I am currently racking up experience points. I need to at least get ten more levels just in case I need a new skill later on. You never know how handy these skills can come in. While military command, military tactics, and business tycoon were amazing, there is always a chance that something else will come in handy in the future. 

Besides leveling, I discovered something very important about my ancient will. While searching for some decent monsters to farm, I found a bandit hideout and ran into some very bad scenes. This group of bandits didn't even deserve to live, and I kinda lost my head. Luckily I did not sink too far. I think my ancient will only show itself if I become too emotional. I noticed a stark difference between killing the bandits on the road and killing the bandits at the hideout. My ancient will began to show itself as I started to kill the bandits in the hideout while the ones on the road did not. It scared me a little, but I was already too deep into the bandit's cave to back out, and the girls… Let's just say they are in a better place now. 

Human beings are cruel. No different from any monster. As a former human being, I understand that we stereotype different races based on intelligence factors, which is kind of unfair in a sense. But this is just how it is. But just because humans are smarter does not mean that humans are no less monstrous than a monster who attacks a village. 

At least the monster had a reason to attack the village. They do things based on instinct alone. While humans, who are supposed to be the more evolved species, will do cruel acts just for the sheer pleasure of it. This does not go for all humans, but the bandits I met today were such cruel humans. And witnessing their cruelty and having to grant the wishes of the girls who were suffering due to said cruelty, I do not think I will ever forget this day. 

Now I know that this is not Earth, and I know that there are many races in this world. And I know for a fact that the same cruelty that I witnessed today could be said to happen with other races as well. 

At any rate, this incident allowed me to understand my ancient will a tiny bit more. So I will need to try to keep better control over my emotions when I engage in battle, or I might end up losing my mind and turning to the dark side. 

The current spot that I am in can be said to be a farmer's paradise. Well, an experience farmer, not a normal one. That was because at this place I found a rare replicator slime. It can be said to be one of the more dangerous slimes due to their ability to replicate if not dealt with properly. If someone were to slash them in half or explode them in the wrong fashion, two to hundreds of new slimes would instantly form. But this was also what made them good for farming. 

Since slimes were strange creatures made of magic, they were very unpredictable and had many strange attributes as they could be made up of different kinds of elements and none elements, hence the replicator slime. The replicator slime was a strange slime and the only one that could be diced into many pieces with a sword. Normal slimes will just rebound any weapon, no matter how hard they are hit. So they will need to be killed with their opposing element. 

While not able to be killed by physical attacks, as said before, these slimes could be cut. And if you diced one up, so many more slimes would appear that you would be in quite a bit of trouble unless you are me and were trying to create thousands of them at a time. These slimes happen to be level 30 slimes and still give me experience. While not much, when you add up thousands of them that I accidentally blow up and disintegrate, they will give me quite a bit of experience. 

And… Because replicator slimes are kind of rare, it would be a shame not to keep one. I read about a spell in one of the books that allows people to contract with monsters and allows you to be able to strengthen them and make them grow stronger. But those who can make such contracts are far and in between. This was because a lot of mana was needed to even sustain such a contract. 

And so I forced a contract on a replicator slime and named it Mr. Blobs. And because of this, I can make it split apart any time I wish, well kinda. And… It also opened up a new option in my system.

[Companion Menu]

Yes, I have a full blown companion menu. It shows all of Mr. Blob's stats. And the best thing is that Mr. Blobs can also level up as well.

[Name]: Mr. Blobs

[Level] 30

[Race] Replicator Slime

[Evolution] 4578/10000

[HP] 3000/3000

[MP] 12230/12230

[Attack Power] 300

[Magic Power] 500

[Skills]

[Replicate (LVL 10(MAX))] [Pounce (LVL 7(MAX))] [Dissolve(LVL 10(MAX))] [Fireball (LVL 1(MAX))]

[Earth Spike (LVL 1(MAX))]

And according to the statistics, it can also evolve. But the main thing that is amazing is that all its replications can be under my command as well, or I can choose to remove my authority over them, making them a normal slime. This meant I can make Mr. Blobs replicate and then release it from my control. The only problem is that he can only replicate ten at a time before I have to wait for an hour to make more. I am not sure why this is. Maybe because of the contract or the system itself. I will have to look into it and see if there is a way around it. Also, the slimes created by Mr. Blobs with his replication can not replicate under my control. I can't even hurt them myself. It is as if the system blocks it. 

So in order to make thousands of more slimes, I have Mr. Blobs create a bunch of slimes and then release one of them. I then dice that one up and allow it to replicate over and over, and bam, I got myself the ability to farm as much as I want. With an area of effect a minute later, I have thousands of free experience points flying towards me. I wonder, though, does this make me some kind of homicidal maniac? If I was on Earth, would I be taken to jail for animal abuse? I am really not sure.

I will say this though, currently, I have a stockpile of mini Mr. Blobs inside my companion menu. So I basically have an army of slimes to level up. And Mr. Blobs himself is even capable of shrinking down on command so I can rest him on my shoulder. Quite the cute little guy if you ask me. In his full form, he is up to my knee in height. 

As for the experience farming, I have actually gained 4 levels already. But the experience was slowly fading, which means I need to level up Mr. Blobs before I can farm like this again. But 4 levels does mean 4 more skill points, which was good.

So after clearing out the rest of the replicator slimes, I placed Mr. Blobs on my shoulder and walked back towards the road. I still had a little while before dark. I can only keep Mr. Blobs out while I am moving at normal speeds, otherwise, he just falls off and tries to make his way back to me. I felt bad the first time I used accelerate, and he went flying away and crashed into the ground.

One thing that did surprise me about Mr. Blobs was that he could use magic. He had two spells: fireball and earth spike. Both were level 1, and I have no idea how to make them level up. I can only hope it is like one of those use type systems where if he uses the spell enough, he will become more proficient in it and will eventually learn more spells as he grows. This is my own wishful thinking, and will not know until the time actually comes. The only other thing is that I can only feed Mr. Blob once a day to make his experience go up. Afterward, he will get a full status, and the feed button gets disabled. He also does not need to sit there and slowly dissolve the food I give him as it will be auto consumed through the system, quite convenient when it comes to a slime that slowly dissolves its prey.

And even though I can only feed him once a day, based on the level of the monster, the amount of experience that Mr. Blob gains can go up and down. If lower level then it will be less experience, but if it is a higher level, he will get a huge chunk of his experience bar in one go. If you put everything together like this, it makes Mr. Blobs very amazing and versatile.
