Su Wanying emptied her savings in one go, and now she truly has nothing left.

The mermaid she was caring for was now slowly revealing her legs.

He used the gold coins he earned from selling all his resources to buy a revealing potion and successfully became a real human.

With the contract in place, he can enjoy the same rights, and Su Wanying is now completely under his control.

Mr. Jin never imagined that his granddaughter would be harmed like this by a mermaid.

"Grandpa, thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that I could use this method to bind you. Don't worry, I won't hurt you for my own sake."

"But don't expect me to let you go. Your life is very important. If you don't want your granddaughter to die, you have to listen to me. Don't try to kill yourself, or I don't know whether you or she will die first!"

Su Wanying followed the mermaid like a fool.

He laughed wildly.

He gazed at her, then pointed at Old Jin.

"Your granddaughter's current state is all your fault!"

Old Jin looked haggard, as if he had died once...

He sighed, "I'll listen to you, don't hurt her!"

A hint of melancholy suddenly appeared in Old Jin's previously cloudy eyes.

That's questioning your own choices!

...

Yan Zi had not received a reply from the other party for a long time.

She tried to communicate with Mr. Jin, but found that he seemed to be intentionally blocking her messages.

Her message was immediately blocked, and the message that popped up was: "Currently in danger, don't worry!"

Yan Zi frowned, somewhat puzzled as to what the old man was trying to do.

Could it be that they really intend to study these mermaids?

She felt something was off, so she turned to ask Number 1, who also gave a evasive answer.

It seems that all of this is under their control, so she doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

They all have their plans, and her unwarranted intrusion might affect how things develop.

Yan Zi didn't want to take the blame, so she simply left the matter alone.

After eating and drinking her fill, Yan Zi packed up all her things and then went to the Mermaid Tribe.

As soon as I entered the aquarium by boat, I saw the mermaid standing there holding a big flag.

Mingyue smiled brightly.

Yan Zi immediately caught her eye upon arrival, and the two exchanged greetings.

Mingyue led her to Mission One and Mission Two.

Yan Zi also took the time to ask if they should recall the other mermaids.

After listening, Mingyue simply shook her head slightly.

"That was the choice of those mermaids! We have no right to call them back!"

Yan Zi was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Is it that you don't have the right to recall them, or that you can't recall them?"

Mingyue was a little nervous when she was asked the question. After thinking for a long time, she took her hand and led her to a secret room.

Inside the secret room was a medical room.

There were many fish scales hanging on it, which startled Yan Zi when she first saw it.

"What's this?"

Mingyue: "This is how our people remove the curse!"

She casually picked off a scale that had molted and become very clean, and handed it to her.

Yan Zi touched it, and the specific information about the scale was displayed!

Item: Scales (Green)

[Description: Special scales derived from the body parts of the merfolk can be used to create unique weapons with specific attributes, and there is a high probability that they can be fused into green weapons.]

Yan Zi was startled.

"These things will become like this after they evolve?"

Mingyue nodded. "We have to thank Master for the purifier he gave us. Now, one evolution will probably take three days. These are all things you can take with you. Similarly, we can put some of them up for sale on the platform to exchange for what you need."

Yan Zi: "We signed an equal contract, right? Why are you calling me master?"

Mingyue smiled and said, "This makes our relationship seem even stronger! At least on the surface, we do have a contractual relationship, don't we?"

Yan Zi didn't quite understand the quirks of these merfolk. Why did every single merfolk like to do this when they saw a human?

Seeing her puzzled look, Mingyue burst out laughing.

She opened a task panel and switched to another task, number three.

The new third task involves collecting enough Healing Purification Grass, each of which can be exchanged for 1000 experience points.

Yan Zi pointed to Quest Three and asked, "Purification Grass can be exchanged for 1000 experience points? Did you change that yourself?"

Mingyue immediately shook her head, "This was arranged by the system. Because I canceled the task of continuing to sell mermaids, I switched to this one. Although this one is also difficult, it is a good gathering place for the master!"

Yan Zi nodded. She also had some ideas about these purifying herbs. If she could get some seeds to take back, she could continue to develop them.

After learning some things from Mingyue, he decisively accepted Mission Three, locked onto the location, and went to Panlong Residence!

"There might be traces of purifying herbs near Panlong Residence, but the system hasn't given you the exact location. You'll probably have to explore there step by step. Master, you'd better bring a pharmacist, a planter, or a gatherer with you."

"With them around, it might be easier to find traces of the purifying grass."

Yan Zi: "Don't worry, I'm a pharmacist myself, so exploring shouldn't be a problem. Do you need any other medicinal herbs? Let me know, and if I see any, I might be able to gather them for you!"

Upon hearing this, Mingyue immediately perked up, took out a list, wrote down all the necessary medicinal herbs, and even thoughtfully drew diagrams.

The drawing was a bit like that of a primary school student, and the image was very abstract, like someone learning to speak.

Yan Zi put it in her pocket and then went straight into Panlong Residence!

[Please prepare before entering Panlongju]

As soon as Yan Zi stepped into this area, she felt a powerful pressure coming towards her.

She immediately summoned A-Jiao, which was startled by a blast of cold air as soon as it appeared, while Yan Zi hid under the tortoise shell.

With the turtle shell protecting her, she felt much safer.

A-Jiao faced the sudden attack of the dragon's tail alone.

Yan Zi: "Relax, the fact that it hasn't made a move on you means there's room for negotiation!"

Acorn forced itself to calm down; it was truly struggling to withstand the threat of the S-class Tyrannosaurus Rex.

With Yan Zi's constant mental encouragement, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Lord Tyrannosaurus, I've come here to help weed!"

Upon hearing this, the Tyrannosaurus Rex's enormous lantern-like eyes suddenly turned towards him, its gaze filled with obvious incomprehension.

A-Jiao: "Doesn't Lord Tyrannosaurus need me to handle this kind of thing?"

It repeated itself sentence by sentence, and Yan Zi kept giving it psychological cues.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex turned its head once, then stared intently at it with both eyes.

"Aren't humans here to steal my vegetables?"

Yan Zi: "..."
