Xu Piao died and was reborn, transmigrating in a blink of an eye into an interstellar online game sweet romance novel, becoming a cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name.
When players enter this activity world, they will have four random identities, which are generally matched with the plot of the character card drawn. If many different character activity cards are drawn, they can choose one of them first.
For example, Shi Yue randomly got the identity of captain, while Xiaoqin randomly got a different identity.
The identity she randomly got was a mermaid, and before coming in, she deliberately put on the mermaid suit she drew. Therefore, the moment she fell into the sea, the originally sparkling mermaid suit turned into a silver fish tail.
"I suddenly know how to swim!" Xiaoqin swam a circle with curiosity, chasing her tail like a cat, and then touched the pearls in her hair. "Wait, I'll take a screenshot."
[The set actually has this use! I didn't even buy it to save money!]
Compared to the Captain suit, this Mermaid suit is so shiny and beautiful! I want it too!
【But the drop rate seems to be the lowest】
[No, no, I think the Octopus set has the lowest drop rate. So far, I don't think anyone has drawn the Octopus set that doesn't even have a picture. The Captain set is indeed not as flashy as the Mermaid set, but it's also very cool.]
【……】
"Indeed, I also want to draw all the event sets to see if the rewards after the event are enough to draw ten times in the clothing pool." Xiaoqin looked at the discussion on the barrage, nodded in agreement, and then began to read the content of the event.
Her activity mission is to hunt sea beasts, because sea beasts and mermaids are natural enemies, and the mission description says that for some unknown reason, a mysterious force has appeared in the sea recently, causing a large number of sea beasts to appear and increase in size, which has greatly compressed the living space of mermaids.
The bell on her wrist is still there, which means that her skills can still be used normally in the event world, but the way to pass the level is definitely not parkour. The event equipment package also gave her a harpoon-like weapon.
Xiaoqin thought about the activity for a while, then swung her tail and swam towards the bottom of the sea. The speed of the tail swing almost scared her. If she hadn't braked, she might have hit the coral reef in front of her.
How do you hunt sea monsters? I'm on a captain's quest, but this mermaid quest seems more interesting.
[There is a community of mermaids. After arriving at the community, you will receive detailed assignments. You can also go out with other mermaids to hunt sea beasts to earn points.]
[It’s great to be able to earn points! I love earning points the most!]
[Wait, I only have one focus! ]
[Well, are all the mermaids in the mermaid community good-looking mermaid brothers and sisters? Hehe~]
That must be beautiful.
However, a player who was clearly from "Shan Hai Lu" suddenly appeared in the comments and said, "I was just wondering why the term 'merman' sounded a little familiar. Isn't this the Di people country?"
[Is this sea area the same area where the Di people appeared, west of Jianmu?]
[Huh? Is that so? I don't remember clearly, but if that's the case, why not go to "Record of Mountains and Seas" and see if the Di people can compare to the mermaids?]
[Answering the above, the appearance features are similar]
Xiaoqin was originally swimming downstream while reading the discussion in the barrage, and she actually considered the feasibility of going to "Shan Hai Lu" to take a look.
However, as she navigated towards the Di people's kingdom... no, the mermaids' tribe, Xiaoqin suddenly noticed something moving in the pitch-black darkness below. She hadn't noticed it at first, thinking it was just an ordinary sea creature. But when she got close enough, the system suddenly started notifying her of a sea beast at a certain distance.
That direction and distance were exactly the area below. Xiaoqin didn't think much about it and went there with the harpoon in hand. However, as the distance got closer, Xiaoqin's speed gradually slowed down.
——Because she found that the area below was pitch black, like a shipwreck.
It looks a bit like the shipwreck in the Chen Ge event card.
Especially when Xiaoqin swung her tail and stopped outside the half-open cabin door and heard the movement coming from inside, she knew that if she went in, she might really be trapped inside like the picture on the card.
"I think it's a good idea for me to wait outside for the right person to appear." Xiaoqin thought calmly and made this decision decisively.
The system was still urging her to go in and hunt sea beasts, but she took a step back instead, looking incredibly cowardly.
Then, she felt that the tip of her tail, which habitually stood upright on the ground, seemed to have touched something soft and bouncy.
Um?
Xiaoqin thought it was her own illusion, so she 'stepped' again, and then she saw the barrage of comments suddenly filled with [Run! ]
Her heart skipped a beat, but because the audience in the live broadcast room knew that she was afraid of this kind of thing and always liked to scare her, and when she was exorcising demons before, they often used the words "Don't come back" and "Behind you" and so on, Xiaoqin's first reaction was not to run, but to go and see what was there first.
She looked down at the ground and saw a lifeless tentacle (?) lying limply on the ground. The other end was embedded in the crack of the ship's plank, and it must have been sticking out from there. After she "stepped" on it, it didn't move much, just moved a little bit limply.
"It's not very dangerous. I would be scared by you if I wasn't scared by this..." Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to step back from the tentacle. When she moved slightly, a tentacle suddenly stretched out from the pitch-black cabin, wrapped around her waist and pulled her in.
If I had to use a metaphor, it would probably be faster than a frog using its tongue to catch a mosquito. There is no time for people to react at all.
Even the live broadcast room suddenly went dark.
【what happened? ? ? 】
【Where is the anchor? 】
[What attacked me? It's impossible for me to be gone before I could even scream, right?!]
[…Don’t worry, it’s not like the livestream is shut down. The livestream is still going on. It’s just that the environment suddenly turned dark.]
After a while, the audience in the live broadcast room discovered that the room was lit up again. It was a soft light brought by a luminous bead. Xiaoqin, who was dragged into the cabin, pressed against the cabin wall with a look of bewilderment. She explained, "Although I have a harpoon, I really haven't made a move yet!"
The tentacle that had pulled her into the cabin had somehow broken off and lay on the ground. The broken end was intact, and even the tentacles were still moving. It was a terrifying sight. But in this dimly lit cabin, there was another person crouching in a corner, hugging their knees. Even more bewildered and frightened than Xiaoqin, they murmured, "That hurts!"
This young man was tall and looked extremely oppressive, but the way he squatted in the corner with his knees hugged made him look inexplicably like a pitiful and aggrieved big dog.
Just with this man as the center, the narrow cabin walls were covered with such tentacles, and the wriggling flesh looked like it was in the stomach of a monster.
The contrast of this scene can be said to be quite great.
Xiaoqin saw him squatting there for a long time without moving, so she moved a little and wanted to get out of this cabin which looked very bad. However, she had just taken a small step when the other party seemed to be frightened by something. He retracted all the tentacles covering the wall, and even the lighting bead that was originally held by the tentacles fell to the cabin floor.
Without the tentacles, Xiaoqin was not so scared when the other party acted as if she was the scary creature.
【I don’t quite understand】
[Pfft] Finally, a wicked guy couldn't hold back his laughter.
[What's going on?] The other viewers who didn't know Chen Ge well were bewildered.
[For Chen Ge, wrapping his tentacles around someone is probably like shaking hands, a friendly way of greeting. Even in the main world, he generally doesn't use this gesture to express friendliness. Only when the favorability reaches a certain level will he tentatively reveal a little bit of his true form and get close to someone.]
[It's... those who've played the game of "Taohuayuan" (Peach Blossom Spring) should understand this better. Have you ever picked up an octopus? Think of this cabin as a jar that the octopus calls home. The octopus is peacefully staying in its home (jar), and you suddenly want to dig it out.]
I think the image of an octopus staying at home and suddenly a hermit crab standing at its doorstep, stretching out a tentacle to greet it, only to have the crab pinch off the tentacle, is more vivid, hahahaha.
Xiaoqin looked at the little tentacle huddled in the corner, then looked at the metaphors of the netizens in the comments. Her expression gradually changed from wide-eyed OAO to =_=
"Hello, hello?" Xiaoqin tentatively greeted the little tentacle. The little tentacle raised its head when it heard the voice, and Xiaoqin handed the half broken tentacle back to him.
Chen Ge looked at her for a while, then stretched out a tentacle from behind him, rolled up the broken tentacle, and quickly retracted it.
Xiaoqin was about to say something when the system suddenly prompted her that a new sea beast had appeared and that she could go hunt the second one.
However, before Xiaoqin looked around to find the second sea monster, the sea water suddenly fluctuated violently, as if a strong wind blew, and the cabin began to shake. The next second, the current blew away the cover on the top of the cabin. After the cover was blown away, the four walls of the cabin naturally could not resist the current and began to deform, fall apart, and be swept away.
Xiaoqin lost her balance and was nearly swept away. The little tentacle silently extended a tentacle and wrapped around her waist, holding her.
Finally, the current caused by the huge sea beast passing by swept away the upper part of the shipwreck that was exposed from the sea mud, leaving Xiaoqin and the little tentacle Chen Ge looking at each other in confusion in the open space.
[Oh no, now the jar of the little octopus is gone]
The author has something to say:
Wake up, your house has been demolished.jpg
It seems that my XP is a little different from everyone else's. It seems that more people like yandere tentacles, but I like the good dog type of tentacles. Hehe~ Although they are not human, the tentacle monsters who are good dogs only in front of you are my XP.
As for yandere boys, I think they are more suitable to meet tentacle heroines.
