Chapter 132 Li Qingping, I'm not a human being anymore! (asking for monthly tickets)

[Successfully loaded the perspective of Unit 3 - "Akubaru, the Eternal Shark", welcome to the real world. 】

A cold reminder sound came from his ears, and Ji Minghuan opened his eyes in a daze.

What came into view was a transparent crystal ball about the size of a football. The crystal ball seemed to be made of glass, and the inside was filled with salty and humid sea water.

At this moment, his No. 3 machine "Agubaru" was floating in this narrow sea.

The feeling of being wrapped in water came from all directions of the body, similar to the feeling of Unit 1 being wrapped in restraints, warm and natural, as if the sea water was a part of this body.

When it came to its senses, its water-filled pupils shrank slightly. It raised its head and saw that there was a circular opening on the top of the crystal ball, which was now closed.

Through the glass on the surface of the crystal ball, it can see its own reflection, which is a blue shark only the size of a palm.

The shark's eyes and body were round and swollen, with a hint of dark blue in its pupils and a mouth full of small sharp teeth. It tilted its round tail and a black dorsal fin could be seen behind it.

Small sharks can breathe smoothly in sea water. This is an instinct engraved in their genes.

Ji Minghuan blinked and stared at the little shark reflected on the glass surface motionlessly.

Recalling the character's background, he thought to himself, "It seems that this shark can grow many times bigger. I'll see how it grows after loading the memory. If I accidentally grow bigger and burst the crystal ball, then my undercover game will be over before it even starts."

It twisted its shark head and looked around like a newborn baby.

The crystal ball was placed above a bedside table. The view was of a bedroom decorated in a very luxurious style. There was a fire burning in the fireplace. Unlike the outside world, the firewood was sea blue. Whether it was the curtains, carpets, or the chandeliers on the dome and the paintings on the wall, it made people feel as if they were in the bedroom of a medieval noble.

The shark was looking around when a black and blue panel slowly appeared in front of it.

[Main Quest 1: Devour the legendary whale - "Chicanao" and completely destroy the whale's box garden.]

[Task rewards: 3 attribute points, 4 skill points, 6 split points. ]

[Main Mission 2: Hide the identity of "Shark of the Eternal Abyss" and seduce the third prince "Xizel" through words to gain his trust.]

[Task rewards: 1 attribute point, 1 skill point, 1 split point. ]

"How come these two main quests make me look like a bad guy?" Ji Minghuan thought, "Speaking of which... Li Qingping also vaguely mentioned the third prince of the Whale Garden before, saying that the third prince's two elder brothers were very bad and secretly wanted to kill him. Could it be that the main quest of this character is actually to pretend to help the third prince fight for the throne, and then destroy the bridge after crossing the river and eat up the entire Whale Garden?"

When his thoughts came to this, Ji Minghuan suddenly felt that the main storyline of this character was a little inhuman... Oh no, this thing was not a human in the first place, and he felt relieved when he thought of this.

From his Salvationist mentors he learned a crucial lesson: flexibility in moral standards.

Human beings are judged by human moral systems;

Sharks should naturally be evaluated from the perspective of sharks. They are just hungry little animals. What's wrong with eating a whale? What's wrong with the law of the jungle among marine life?

"I'm not a human anymore, Li Qingping!" Ji Minghuan thought, "Don't blame me when the time comes. I really didn't swallow the whale on purpose. This is the instinct of a carnivore, okay?"

[System prompt: The memory of the third character is being loaded. The five-second countdown ends. The memory of the third game character, "Agubaru", will be instilled into your mind. Please be mentally prepared.]

The system prompt sounded and Ji Minghuan couldn't help but groan softly at the severe pain in his head, as if a pair of red-hot tongs were pressed against his skull.

Even if the pain sensitivity is adjusted to the lowest level, it is difficult to cover up the pain of nerve tremors.

After all, this is not the memory of a human being, but the memory of an immortal animal.

Compared with this shark's hundreds of years of life under the sea, the experience of more than a decade of human life pales like a piece of paper that cannot be thinner. There is no comparison at all.

After a while, the headache finally eased. Ji Minghuan took a gurgling breath in the water, then slowly closed his eyes and entered the spiritual world.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was still the familiar library. The setting sun was red and the sunlight slanted into the library.

Ji Minghuan's spirit body still looked like he was four years old, with a loose set of pajamas covering his body that had not yet begun to develop.

Looking up, he could see another shadow on the ceiling of the library—in addition to the hanged Black Pupa and the chess player, there was now a human-sized shark.

The shark was dark blue in color, and surrounded by a black and blue current. It was hung in the air by a fishhook, eyes closed, motionless, like the fresh fish hanging in the market early in the morning.

"Another useless trustee personality." Ji Minghuan thought, "Will these corpses fill up my library in the future... Fortunately, this shark did not appear in my spiritual world at its original size, otherwise my library would have turned into an aquarium."

He walked to the bookshelf. Because he had loaded new character memories, he could see that the originally empty bookshelves were now filled with large quantities of books.

This shark has lived for who knows how many years, hunting in the sea, living a day-to-day life.

So its memory appeared on the bookshelf in the form of children's pictures, and many details were omitted. With each turn of the page, the shark's story went on for a month or even a year, and it was told very roughly.

Ji Minghuan picked up a few books from the bookshelf and read them. He flipped through the memories and found that most of them told the story of how the last Abyss Shark survived in the deep sea from a predator's perspective. It was like an episode of a large-scale TV series "Underwater Animal World". It would be better not to read it.

But he deliberately picked out the last picture and took a look. It said that by 2020, the shark's body would be a hundred meters long. Although it could be called a giant, it was still half the size of the legendary whale.

This means that if the shark wants to eat the legendary whale, it will have to at least double its size.

It is also mentioned in the character's memory that this shark has the ability to change its size and appearance.

So it shrunk its body to the size of a palm, and disguised itself as a "Nobe shark" - it was blue all over, looked round, and had none of the murderous aura and intimidation of a shark.

This type of shark is also called the "shark in the palm of your hand". There is no size difference between a mature "Nobe shark" and a juvenile Nobe shark. Therefore, in the ocean environment where the strong prey on the weak, the Nobe shark family has a natural disadvantage and is born at the bottom of the food chain.

They can only survive by preying on tiny fish and eating seaweed, so the number of Norwegian sharks is very rare. For humans, catching a Norwegian shark is equivalent to catching a bucket of gold. Many wealthy people in the whale box garden will keep them as pets.

In order to sneak into the whale's box garden, "Agubaru", the hundred-meter-long ocean overlord, had to humble himself and transform into a "Nobe Shark". Finally, he fell into the hands of the king as he wished, and was then given to the third prince as a gift by the king.

As far as I can remember, the third prince was named "Cesare" and he was twelve years old this year.

Cesar is a boy with albinism.

Because he had been weak and sickly since childhood, he was often told not to go out casually, and he was not allowed to play in the world of common people like other princes. Therefore, the place that accompanied him the longest might be this bedroom, which looked luxuriously decorated but was actually boring.

To him, this place was like a beautiful birdcage, and he was a bird in the cage.

Only occasionally with his father's permission would the third prince be released from the birdcage to take a look at the outside world.

Because of this, compared to his peers, the third prince's mental age is actually much lower, at most equivalent to a six or seven-year-old child.

He was naive, introverted, and sickly, so he could not get along well with his two brothers. The eldest prince and the second prince usually did not interact with him much, but would visit him occasionally.

Ji Minghuan was reminiscing when a figure walked into the quiet bedroom.

The shark turned its head from the crystal ball and saw a young man with white hair and blue eyes.

He wore a crown, a luxurious robe, and a buttoned shirt underneath. The boy was as pretty as a girl, with long white eyelashes hanging down on his eyes.

If things go as expected, this is the third prince of the Whale King's Court - "Cesare".

The language used by the people in the whale's box garden is Latin, and the Eternal Shark has a strong learning ability. It learned a lot of grammar in just a short time after entering the box garden.

Ji Minghuan put the shark's head close to the surface of the crystal ball and stared at Xizel.

Cesar came over, his long cape trailing on the ground like a bird's tail feathers. He picked up the crystal ball from the bedside table and sat on the soft bed.

"Li Qingping is coming back... Li Qingping is coming back." He muttered to himself, lay down on the bed, held up the crystal ball high, looked into the eyes of the shark, and his tone was filled with unconcealable joy.

"Who is Li Qingping? What a silly name. He must be a silly person too." Shark stared into his eyes and slowly made a sound from the crystal ball.

Xizel was slightly stunned, then slowly his eyes widened.

A vacuum-like silence enveloped the two of them until the shark in the crystal ball spoke again to break the silence:

"Hey, can't you hear me?"

"The talking Nobe shark!" Caesar opened his mouth belatedly and shouted in amazement.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! If anyone hears me, I'll be roasted and eaten!" the shark whispered.

The man and the shark stared at each other. César was stunned for a long time, then slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and his eyes suddenly burst into a dazzling light, just like a child who saw a new toy in the mall.

He first turned his head and looked around. After confirming that no one saw this scene, he quickly covered the crystal ball and his body under the quilt, then moved closer to the crystal ball and asked in a low voice:

"You... can really speak?"

"Is it a ghost talking?" said the shark. "Shh! This is a secret between us. Don't tell anyone else, or I will bite my tongue and commit suicide in the crystal ball."

"Yeah, yeah, it's a secret!" Cesar nodded obediently, his cyan eyes shining in the darkness, "Shark, Shark, what's your name?"

"Agubaru," said Little Shark.

"No one has ever told me that the Nobe shark can speak human language. Not even in the textbooks."

"Because I am a more noble Nobe shark." Shark said, "In short... the aristocrat among sharks."

Xizel hesitated and asked in a low voice: "Then will you eat humans? When father first gave you to me, my brothers and others scared me by saying that all sharks will eat human flesh, including the Norbe shark. But the book clearly said that the Norbe shark can grow up without eating."

"I don't eat human flesh. I'm a vegetarian. I'm a vegetarian shark." Shark paused and whispered, "I also eat strange fragments. You can feed me those useless strange fragments."

"That's good..." Xizel exhaled, "Wait, do you want to eat the strange fragments?"

"Yes, yes!" The shark said proudly, shaking its tail.

"Okay... There are a lot of disposable oddities in the palace, like 'Moving Stairs' and 'Pigeon Messenger', but if you take them secretly you might get scolded by my father and the others."

"It's okay, just secretly feed me one every day. I have a small appetite."

As he spoke, the shark puffed out his small chest, as if to prove that with his small body, his appetite must be small too.

"No problem." Xizel nodded. "Next time I visit the library of strange things, I will secretly bring back some fragments for you."

"It's a deal. A liar will have to swallow ten thousand needles and his brain will become as dumb as a ghost clock!"

"Who is Ghost Bell?"

"The name of a stupid pig," Shark said clearly. "It's a character in the fable 'Dad Black Pupa and His Three Little Pigs'. Don't you know it?"

"Oh, you know a lot." Cesar nodded and said with emotion, "I've read a lot of books, but I've never heard of this story."

At this moment, a ghost pigeon with a letter tied to it suddenly flew in from the window, flapping its wings, and finally slowly landed on the back of César's hand.

"What is this?" The shark looked at the pigeon outside the crystal ball.

"The pigeon messenger is the lowest and most common piece of oddity. We all use it to pass information here."

As Xizel spoke, he opened the letter from the ghost pigeon, and the pigeon turned into a faint green fluorescence and disappeared.

He glanced at the letter: "This is from Li Qingping. Li Qingping is back!" Xizel looked a little excited.

Shark was stunned and thought to himself, Li Qingping, you deserve to die. How could you secretly seduce a child behind your good friend's back?

"Oh, then quickly bring this Li Qingping here to see me!" It said, "I want to see if he is as stupid as his name suggests."

"Yes, yes, Yagubaru, wait here for me! I'll go and bring Li Qingping over."

Cesar spoke very quickly, put the crystal ball on the bedside table, put his cheek close to the glass, waved at the little shark, and then ran away without looking back.

Through the glass of the crystal ball, Ji Minghuan looked at the back of the third prince through the shark's eyes as he left. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "What a naive and innocent man! It seems that this prince is well protected. He can't be a white-faced villain, right?"

At this moment, a black and blue prompt panel popped up in front of the shark.

[Completed the main task 2 - hide the identity of "Shark of the Eternal Abyss" and seduce the third prince "Xizel" through words, thus gaining the trust of the third prince. ]

Seeing this, Ji Minghuan couldn't help but roll his eyes.

He thought to himself: What is this saying of bewitching the Third Prince? With the Third Prince's mentality, can the word 'bewitching' be used? To put it bluntly, isn't it just coaxing a child? I am the best at coaxing children. There are still a bunch of world-destroying blackened kids in the Salvation Society waiting for me to coax them.

[Task rewards obtained: 1 attribute point, 1 skill point, 1 split point. ]

[Main Mission 2 has been updated to the second stage: Protect the third prince "Cesare" from the assassination of the first and second princes, and make the third prince "Cesare" survive until August 1. ]
