Their commission was suspicious.

"what?"

"That way, he might take a liking to you and give you some interesting treasures. These treasures come from the treasure vault shared by all the mimics, and their quality might be very high."

"...That's quite a strange solution." Kasukabe Yo said with some surprise.

The miniature garden is amazing; it has such wonderful things.

"However, after spitting out the treasure, the mimic will instantly get rid of all its negative effects and remain invincible for a period of time. If the mimic discovers that it has been deceived, it is very likely to self-destruct out of anger, and the explosive power is quite astonishing," Chen Luo added.

"If I remember correctly, your bar allows people to hurt each other, doesn't it?" Kudo Asuka suddenly said.

“That’s right,” Chen Luo nodded.

"If this mimic is susceptible to charm, does that mean it can also be forcibly controlled?"

"Theoretically speaking... yes."

“Here’s what we’ll do, Chen Luo. You lift the restriction between me and this mimic that we can’t hurt each other, and I’ll help you persuade him to give you a few treasures as payment for the tea,” Asuka Kudo said confidently.

“Theoretically, it’s possible. No matter what method you use, as long as you can subdue the mimic, whether it’s through charm or domination, you can make it spit out the treasure. But do you really want to try it? Be careful not to mess it up,” Chen Luo warned.

"Come on!" Kudo Asuka proudly raised her head.

Just kidding, I'm Kudo Asuka!

[Ding! You have a new request!]

"..." Chen Luo didn't expect that Kudo Asuka would be so persistent as to issue a commission.

Chen Luo could roughly discern Kudo Asuka's thoughts...

Since Chen Luo's bar saved them and they even got to drink free black tea, someone as proud as Kudo Asuka would naturally offer some compensation.

Helping Chen Luo deal with the treasure chest monster is compensation.

Although Chen Luo really wanted to say that what he cared about wasn't the treasure that the mimic could spit out, but rather that repeatedly opening the mimic might yield Originium, he decided to keep quiet for the sake of the commission.

"Snapped!"

Chen Luo snapped his fingers.

"Alright, it's been deactivated," Chen Luo said.

Although Chen Luo lifted all the restrictions on the bar without needing to do anything, snapping his fingers was more about telling others that he had accomplished this.

"Spit out the treasure immediately!" Kuon Asuka shouted to the mimic after waiting for three seconds.

"..." The treasure chest monster remained silent.

"I said, spit out the treasure right now!" Kudo Asuka couldn't help but pat the mimic's head.

"Wow!" The treasure chest began to open slowly. Just when Kuon Asuka thought she had it all figured out, the little treasure chest monster's mouth suddenly became enormous and then it bit down on Kuon Asuka.

"Snap!" Half of Kudo Asuka's body was bitten in.

Fortunately, Chen Luo activated the restriction between the Ancient Bird and the Mimic beforehand, otherwise he would have had to use the resurrection spell now.

Then Chen Luo forcefully pried open the mimic's upper and lower jaws, rescuing Kudo Asuka.

"What the hell is this thing? Why doesn't it eat Domination?" Kudo Asuka couldn't help but complain.

“It’s not that they’re immune to control abilities, it’s just that mimics have suffered too many losses with the same ability, so their resistance to charm and control abilities has reached a very high level, resulting in a high failure rate. But don’t be discouraged, failure is the mother of success… Do you still want to try?” Chen Luo asked.

"No. It's very dark inside the treasure chest." Kudo Asuka shook her head and chose to give up.

Kuon Asuka, who had been single-handedly defeated by a mimic, moved to a different spot, sitting further away from the mimic.

"Is this mimic a living being?" Kasukabe Yo suddenly asked.

"It is."

"Can I be friends with it?" Kasukabe Yo asked again.

"...Gaining their abilities by becoming friends with them? Good idea, worth a try. Anyway, I'll activate the barrier immediately if it fails, so you won't get hurt," Chen Luo said.

"You know my abilities?" Kasukabe Yao asked, somewhat surprised.

"I, Kal'tsit, know everything."

"..." Kasukabe Yo really is Kal'tsit, but now that the opportunity is in front of her, she doesn't care much about it.

After Chen Luo helped remove the barrier, Kasukabe Yao tried to touch the mimic.

Kasukabe Yo's ability, a gift called the Catalog of Life, is a precious gift from her father, Kasukabe Takaaki. It's a round wooden sculpture made from sacred camphor wood, engraved with the patterns of a system tree.

This gift grants the holder the ability to converse with a race that speaks a different language and to acquire specific, permanent abilities from them.

For example, one could gain the ability to fly by riding on air from a griffin, or acquire powerful physical abilities from a Celt.

However, this ability, which Kasukabe Yo uses extensively, is only a superficial ability of the Life Catalog.

The potential of this gift is unimaginably powerful; it is the "All-Round Combat Armament for Fighting the Demon King" created by Kasukabe Takaaki.

"Um... hello, can we be friends?" Kasukabe Yao gently poked the mimic with her finger.

The mimicry monster didn't give Kasukabe any response, leaving Kasukabe somewhat bewildered.

This seems really difficult to handle.

Kasukabe You can communicate with people of different races who speak different languages ​​thanks to the blessing, but only if the other party speaks first.

"I'm asking you, why are you acting all high and mighty?" Chen Luo smacked the treasure chest monster on the head.

"Wow!" The mimic bit Chen Luo's arm.

"Please don't be so reckless," Kasukabe Yo said, exasperated.

"Here, it's yours." Chen Luo forcefully pried open the mimic's mouth and placed it in front of Kasukabe Yao.

"Any snacks? Or what does the mimic like to eat?" Kasukabe Yao turned to Chen Luo and asked.

"They like to eat gold coins, treasures, and precious objects."

"This...I didn't." Kasukabe Yo was somewhat embarrassed.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Kasukabe Yo is actually quite confident in his ability to make friends, but he needs a tool to break the deadlock.

For animals, the most effective method is feeding.

“I have some.” Chen Luo threw a bag of gold coins directly in front of Kasukabe Yao, and after hearing the sound of the gold coins, the mimic began to move.

"Here are the coins for you. Try to take down the mimic monster."

"Thank you." Kasukabe Yo took the gold coins and then handed one to the mimic.

The mimicry monster ate the coins without hesitation.

Seeing this, Kasukabe Yō gained some confidence.

If the stalemate can be broken and the other party can react, it means there is an opportunity to win.

So Kasukabe Yo fed it one gold coin at a time until all 100 gold coins Chen Luo had given it were inside the mimic's belly. Kasukabe Yo felt that the mimic's attitude towards her had improved.

So Kasukabe Yō mustered his courage, reached out his hand towards the mimic, and tried to tease it like a dog.

"Crack!" The mimic didn't hold back and swallowed Kasukabe Yō's entire hand in one gulp.

“…Please help me.” Kasukabe Yo turned to look at Chen Luo with some disappointment.

[Ding! You have a new request!]

Then Chen Luo pried open the mimic's mouth again.

"It didn't work, and I even lost 100 gold coins. I'm sorry."

"Oh, no need to apologize, gold coins are nothing to me. In fact, you do have the potential to be friends with the mimic. If the maximum favorability is 100, you already have 20 favorability points with the mimic. It thought you bit it because you gave it your hand to eat as well."

"..." Kasukabe Yo fell silent.

After a while, Kasukabe Yo looked up and slowly said, "I originally thought the mimic was a puppy, but I didn't expect it to be a husky."

As we all know, if you reach out your hand to another dog, the other dog might rest its chin on your hand, but if you reach out to a husky, the husky will definitely bite.

Kasukabe Yao believes that being friends with a husky isn't a big problem, except that it might occasionally bite you because it can't resist being reckless, but the bite isn't serious.

Unlike the Mimic, which can bite through steel bars with a single gentle bite, the Mimic can bite through steel bars.

“100 gold coins can increase favorability by 20 points, so if we get another 4000 gold coins, wouldn’t that be 100 favorability points?” said Kudo Asuka, who was sitting far away.

"That's not how it's calculated. It's easy to raise favorability in the early stages, but it's different in the mid-to-late stages. For example, after you and Kasukabe Yō went through things like falling from the sky together, entering a bar together, and having tea together, you would have at least 30 points of favorability towards her. That's equivalent to having some affection, right?"

"Mm." Kudo Asuka couldn't help but nod.

"But if you went through this three times again, would you still be head over heels in love with Kasukabe Yoh? Of course not, right?"

“…Indeed.” Kudo Asuka had to admit that she had been hasty just now.

"Chen Luo..." Izayoi Sakamaki, who had been making a ruckus over there for a while, walked over, but was interrupted by Chen Luo as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Get this sorted out, and I'll give you whatever you want." Chen Luo tossed the mimic to Izayoi Sakamaki.

"Really?" Izayoi Sakamaki had noticed the chaos here when she was standing nearby, as the atmosphere was getting a bit too heated.

"It's even more real than the amusement park coins."

"...Then let's give it a try. I think I just heard you say that it's okay to beat it into submission, right?"

“That’s right, please begin your performance.” Chen Luo waited with great interest for Izayoi Sakamaki’s next move, then removed the barrier that forbade them from harming each other.

"Bang!" Izayoi Sakamaki punched the mimic on the head.

A dull thud echoed throughout the bar, and a moment later, the mimic opened its mouth.

"Snap!" The mimic bit down on Izayoi Sakamaki's arm, and only after the barrier disappeared could Izayoi truly grasp the mimic's attack power.

The mimic can even make the steel-boned Izayoi Sakamaki feel pain.

Amidst pain and surprise, Izayoi Sakamaki struggled to pry open the mimic's mouth, then pulled out her own arm and fought with it.

Izayoi Sakamaki is slightly stronger than Mimic, but Mimic is smaller and more agile. Moreover, after being punched away by Izayoi Sakamaki, Mimic can bounce back behind the wall of the Shodo Bar!

"I can't stand it! Inch Punch - Heaven Opening!" Izayoi Sakamaki punched the mimic that bounced back from the bar wall again.

"Bang!" But the mimic opened its mouth directly in the face of Izayoi Sakamaki's attack.

Inch-Strike - Heaven-Opening, Teleport!

Izayoi Sakamaki's all-out attack was directly teleported into the treasure vault by the mimic.

Then the mimic released its mouth and began biting at Izayoi Sakamaki's school uniform, moving up Izayoi's arm until it finally bit down on Izayoi's hair!

"My hair! My headphones! You bastard!"

Izayoi Sakamaki wasn't seriously injured, but she went bald.

After turning off the light cone camera, Chen Luo quickly went over to mediate the fight.

This time, Chen Luo's Light Cone Collection has added a new item—the Treasure Chest Monster's solo kill of three problem children!

Chapter 1779 The Canary's Terrible Situation

After Izayoi Sakamaki fought the mimic for a full five minutes, Izayoi's hair became somewhat bald and her headphones were bitten to pieces, while the mimic wasn't in much better shape, its surface was somewhat pitted and uneven.

"Trash mimic!" Izayoi Sakamaki said while fixing her hair.

Fortunately, Chen Luo knew the hair growth technique, otherwise Izayoi Sakamaki would have had to fight the mimic for another 100 rounds!

I'm so angry!

Chen Luo repaired Izayoi Sakamaki's damaged school uniform and her comminuted earphones with the weapon case.

The mimic on the other side also enjoyed the services of the weapon box, and its previously somewhat pitted body was instantly transformed.

Meanwhile, the somewhat irritable mimic was gradually tamed by Chen Luo using Paradise Coins.

Thanks to Izayoi Sakamaki's fight with the mimic, Chen Luo was able to use the weapon box to gain some goodwill from the mimic.

They're just taking advantage of the fact that the mimic isn't very smart.

The fight was between Izayoi Sakamaki and the mimic, what does it have to do with Chen Luo?

"Alright, alright, you two stop being angry. You're evenly matched," Chen Luo said while playing with the treasure chest monster.

"Who can match his strength? If it weren't for the fact that he seems to be able to absorb my inch-force, I would have smashed him to pieces long ago!" Izayoi Sakamaki said defiantly.
