Because the new species of evolved plants that could improve the environment completely disappeared, the entire world was unable to enter a new era.

Now, 948's use of mermaids as a substitute for that new species of evolved plants will be the last ray of hope.

However, at this moment, Xie Qi did not know what a huge role a mermaid could play.

"948, can a mermaid alone turn the tide?" Xie Qi asked doubtfully.

Facing Xie Qi's question, 948 responded calmly, "Host, have you ever heard of the unique abilities of mermaids?"

"What ability?"

The language of all spirits and the telepathy of marine life.

The spiritual sea is pure and abyssal, and all things in the ocean can be purified.

Defend against enemies with raging waves and control the waves to resist external enemies.

Lost in the sea of ​​illusion, control your mind and get lost in the ocean.

The deep current condenses into shape, and the gathering of undercurrents condenses into an instrument.

The abyss hides the shadow, and the sea water merges with the body to conceal the figure.

..........

"Wait, you make mermaids sound so powerful, then why are they being bullied by humans to the point of extinction?"

Hearing this, 948 couldn't help but touch his nose awkwardly, then explained with a guilty conscience, "Ah... Actually, the mermen in this world don't possess the powerful abilities I just described. They're simply a group of marine creatures with high intelligence. What I mentioned before are abilities only possessed by the Merman Kings of other planes."

948 then sighed deeply and continued, "In this world, most mermaids are kind-hearted, simple-minded, and very close to humans. Because of this, whenever a human is trapped in the ocean, the mermaids will lend a helping hand to save them without hesitation."

"Also, regarding the rumor that mermaids can purify the seawater, it's actually just because they regularly and spontaneously clean up garbage in the ocean to ensure that the marine environment is not polluted."

After hearing what 948 said, Xie Qi nodded thoughtfully.

Then, he raised his hand, pointed a finger at himself, and asked curiously, "So, based on what you described, what am I?"

Upon hearing this, 948's face suddenly showed a hint of smugness. It chuckled and replied proudly, "Ha, this system has specially helped the host add the attributes of the Mermaid King. So from this moment on, you are the one and only, irreplaceable Mermaid King in this world."

After listening to 948's explanation, Xie Qi subconsciously swung his arms a few times, but did not feel anything special or unusual.

So, full of suspicion, he couldn't help but frown and asked again, "But why don't I feel anything special?"

"Wait, don't be impatient. You've only just emerged from your shell, and your body is still very fragile. It certainly can't fully withstand such a huge amount of energy for the time being. But don't worry, just give it some time to slowly adapt and integrate, and then you'll naturally be able to experience the wonders of it."

After receiving 948's reply, Xie Qi was still a little skeptical, but he could only nod helplessly and said, "Okay..."

Then, Xie Qi slowly stood up, walked to the glass window beside him, and looked out through the glass.

However, what came into view was a gray fog, so thick that it was impossible to see the true appearance of the outside world.

"Jiang Ze isn't home either. I'd better go out and take a look." Xie Qi frowned slightly and muttered to himself. Then he turned around and walked slowly towards the door.

At this moment, there were only Xie Qi, Mrs. Shen and Shen's father in the huge Shen residence, while Jiang Ze and others were busy in the research institute.

Since the research institute was controlled by the Zheng family, Xie Qi could not go with Jiang Ze.

Just as Xie Qi reached the stairs, he saw Father Shen sitting on the sofa.

After a brief pause, Xie Qi walked downstairs steadily, greeted politely, and said, "Uncle Shen, I want to go out and take a look."

Hearing this, Father Shen's face showed a trace of worry, and he advised earnestly: "It will be very dangerous for you to go out now. They are all searching for you everywhere."

"Uncle Shen, please rest assured. They don't know what I look like now. Besides, I will wear a tight mask and will never reveal my identity easily."

Seeing that Xie Qi had made up his mind, Father Shen knew it was difficult to stop him, so he nodded helplessly and said with concern: "Okay, but remember to come back as soon as possible to avoid any accidents."

"I see. Um, does Uncle Shen have a car? Can you lend me one?"

Father Shen looked at Xie Qi's legs and asked doubtfully, "Can you drive? How about I take you there? Where are you going?"

"No, no, I'll just take a look around. Besides, I can drive. I'm a fast learner. I'll be able to do it after watching it once."

Although Xie Qi said this, Shen's father was still worried, so the two went to the underground parking lot together. After Xie Qi drove the car out of the underground garage steadily, Shen's father believed that he could drive.

Just like that, Xie Qi started the engine and drove away quickly.

Before long, Xie Qi arrived at the coast and slowly parked the car. He pushed open the door, stepped out with steady steps, and then stood still, his gaze fixed on the vast coastline before him.

However, the scene before his eyes was completely different from what he had seen on the boat. At that time, the entire sea was pitch black and deep like an endless abyss.
