This way.

Qi Qi put on the white shirt and black pants that he had hidden beforehand, and then instructed Lan: "Go and reinforce the hypnosis for those two hundred humans, and make sure they find something to eat. If they all starve to death, they won't be able to be used as reserve food. I'll deal with the ones in the castle. Come find me when you're done."

Lan looked at him with suspicion. Qi Qi got a little angry at being stared at like that: "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you believe in my abilities?"

Lan: "...Should I believe it? Do you know how many humans are on the other side of the castle?"

Qi Qi stared at him with wide, round eyes: "Of course I know! That day... that day after you left, humans found me."

Lan's expression changed, and she grabbed his arm, her voice tense: "Why didn't you say so sooner? Are you alright?"

Qi Qi proudly raised his chin: "Of course, I took advantage of their curiosity and stayed inside for two days before I was cured of the poison, and I quickly got them to obey me."

Lan squinted and looked Qi Qi up and down: "Really?"

Qi Qi: "Of course it's true!"

"Alright, alright, go ahead! Once you're back, we can start learning human writing! I'm very sensitive to human writing, and I've learned a little bit these past couple of days. They're quite easy to deal with."

Lan walked towards another path with some doubt, while Qi Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, he originally wanted to go to the group of over 200 humans first, but he was afraid that Lan wouldn't be able to handle the mission takers.

And I have successfully obtained points from the mission participants!

He slipped into the secret passage and began explaining his task assignments in a very logical and detailed manner: "Actually, it's because I'm prettier than Lan, that's why those three taskers and the protagonist liked me, willingly letting themselves be seduced, hahahahahahaha..."

The system wanted to say that he was narcissistic, but then it remembered that the robot's appearance was indeed very good-looking, especially after the addition of the mermaid system of this world, that pleasing and harmless beauty turned into dazzling beauty.

Qi Qi emerged from the secret passage. The area he had damaged had not yet been reinforced. However, a campfire had been lit in the small tower by the pool at some point, and the firelight shone down from the water onto Qi Qi's head.

He wasn't as panicked as when he was fleeing. He slowly floated up from the bottom of the water, leaned against the edge of the pool, wrung out his hair, and began to sing in a low voice.

"Ahhhhhhh"

Mermaids are spirits and monsters of the sea. Their songs are ethereal and dreamlike, emanating from their deep throats and irresistibly alluring to humans within their target range.

He was calling out to his lover, and the false love was fully revealed in his song.

Unlike the distant, mysterious, and sacred chants of the merman king and Lan, Qi Qi's voice was filled with a sweet allure...

Perhaps it's because the music serves a different purpose; humans haven't been to this land for a long time, and such "sailor-specific" music has been unseen for a long time.

Qi Qi waited for less than a minute before the humans closest to the viewing pool ran over. When they saw the blue-tailed merman Qi Qi floating freely in the water, their expressions became even more enthusiastic and excited, as if they were young men who had seen their dream lover come to life.

Their eyes were bloodshot and their lips were tightly closed.

The beautiful mermaid sat there waiting for them. He raised his snow-white finger and gently beckoned to the human... The slight lift of his chin exuded arrogance and unimaginable charm.

As the number of humans increased, they rushed into the water, their hearts nearly stopping in excitement as the mermaids' smiles deepened.

One after another.

Qi Qi didn't have any penchant for drowning people; the points in his mind were piling up one by one, and he was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

It turns out that deceiving humans is so easy. Being able to sing is great, hahaha...

Qi Qi smiled and then glanced curiously at the bottom of the water.

These stupid humans! All I gave them was the order to jump in, and they just jumped and didn't move? They really aren't afraid of death! Qi Qi pondered for a moment, then woke up the humans who had already jumped in and made them climb ashore one by one, then go back to where they came from.

There are too many people. If all of them come down, won't the pool be packed with people? What if the people at the back can't jump in?

He propped himself up on his arms and sat on the lawn, watching humans dive to earn points. Under the moonlight, the beauty sat playfully by the water, laughing, her gauze-like fishtail, radiating a shimmering blue light, floating freely in the pool.

Qi Qi saw Louis, Sterling, Hilllow, and Jason. The four of them also heard the sound, but they didn't rush towards him excitedly like the others. They didn't show any infatuation or adoration on their faces. They stood 20 meters away and watched Qi Qi sing.

Oh... except Louis and Jason seemed a little excited.

After everyone finished dancing and reluctantly left, Qi Qi swallowed hard, looking at the four people still staring at him with some suspicion:

Hey everyone, they all seem perfectly normal. Could it be that they weren't fooled by my singing?

The system was calculating the points Qi Qi had earned this time, and his voice was filled with shock and surprise: [Normal? The points can't be wrong.]

Qi Qi glanced at Sterling and Hilllow, who both looked calm and wise, and realized that he wasn't very confident either.

So he changed his playlist... from popular songs to a customized version—songs to bewitch humanity.

Since the buff that allows communication with humans won't expire until tomorrow night, if Qi Qi adds the intention to speak to the song now, humans will be able to hear it.

As soon as Qi Qi spoke, her voice became sweet and gentle: "Louis~ I've come back to find you~"

"Sterling, come here!"

"Sister Sillo, have you missed me?"

The three people on the shore immediately widened their pupils and gasped.

Before Jason could finish saying, "Why didn't he call my name!", Louis beside him had already grinned and rushed towards Qi Qi.

Having witnessed the merfolk's joy at watching the sailors jump into the water, Louis naturally chose the same method...

It's just a dive; as long as he can make the merman smile, he'd be willing to die right now!

He also received permission to get close.

Louis has arrived.

He raised his head, looking up at the merman before him with a fascinated gaze.

Qi Qi also looked at him. Compared to the sailors, Louis's gaze seemed clear and normal, but in those deep blue eyes, the admiration was more sincere than anyone else's. There was no vulgar desire flowing out, only passion.

Sometimes, when there is too much affection, the person involved can also feel it, looking at the protagonist who is soaking wet with doubt.

That look in his eyes...

Qi Qi leaned down and touched Louis's cheek with his cold hand, utterly bewildered.

"Louis, do you like me more?"

Louis stared blankly at the vortex in those blue eyes, his voice no longer the rational and restrained calm.

He said, trembling, "I...I love you."
