Chapter 29: Horror Oceanarium (5) Be Moderate
"thump……"
Tan Yue was pulled into the bathtub by the god.
Although this bathtub is large, it is only suitable for one person. It seems a bit narrow to squeeze two people in. But after falling into the bathtub.
Tan Yue did not feel crowded and cramped. He opened his eyes in the water and found that the surrounding environment was no longer a small bathtub, but a clear blue sea.
As a human being, Tan Yue has no way to absorb enough oxygen from the water and can only rely on the oxygen brought over from Guanshan.
A transparent bubble rose between him and Guan Shan. The large round bubble separated the two of them in the middle, isolating them from the fish swimming around and the pressure brought by the sea water.
They embraced each other in the sea, their golden hair drifting in the waves like seaweed. Tan Yue was bewitched by the mermaid and merged with her...
Guan Shan helped Tan Yue verify what he said before, the mermaid was really good, and the tail was also great. The feeling in the water was completely different from that on the shore.
Tan Yue finally understood why humans added various ears and tails to certain special clothing. Special elements would bring another kind of sensory excitement.
But he will also reflect on himself, whether he has indulged too much in pleasure today? Although he is still very young, it is precisely because of his youth that he needs to know moderation, take things slow, and not be too indulgent!
“Crash…”
This time it was the sound of water coming out. Tan Yue was brought out of the water by his lover again. He breathed in big gulps of fresh air. The space around him became narrow again. It was obvious that he had returned from the ocean to that small bathtub.
"You can return to the ocean at any time through water, right?"
I guess so, the god nodded slightly. Of course, the abilities He possesses are far more than just these, but it is not wrong to say so.
Tan Yue felt relieved when he found out that his lover had a certain ability to protect himself.
Beautiful and fragile things can certainly make people feel distressed and treat them with caution, but they can also make people worry that the other person is in danger.
He hoped that his lover was not a fragile glass or a bubble that would disappear in an instant, but a hard, sparkling gem. Anyone with bad intentions who wanted to have feelings for Guan Shan would be cut by the sharp edges of the gem.
"That's great, Ashan is so awesome, I'm very happy." Tan Yue took the initiative to touch Guan Shan's cheek. The other's body had been soaked in the sea water for a while, and it was wet and cold, but his complexion was better because of sufficient nourishment from the sea water, as if he was two years younger.
He is different. After soaking in sea water for a long time, his skin becomes a little wrinkled and looks old.
After all, Guan Shan is a mermaid and cannot stay out of water for long. Tan Yue got out of the bathtub, wiped off all the water on his body, moved a small stool and sat next to Guan Shan, holding his hand that was resting on the edge of the bathtub.
Thinking of something, he asked anxiously, "Ashan, can you not stay away from the sea for too long? Or can you not stay away from this aquarium for too long?"
Before they had established a relationship, when Tan Yue came to work part-time, Guan Shan always refused his invitations to go out together.
So he often doubted Guan Shan's feelings. He was obviously very ambiguous with him at work, but he was unwilling to accept his date.
Fortunately, he bravely took the step of confessing his feelings. Guanshan obviously had feelings and desires for him. His previous rejection was definitely due to his identity as a mermaid!
In fact, this private aquarium covers a large area. The sign at the entrance says that it is 40,000 square meters.
But when he thought that his lover was trapped in this small aquarium, Tan Yue felt it was too small.
After all, about 70% of the area is actually sea water, separated by thick and long glass tunnels, where various deep-sea fish are raised. The employees' normal range of activities is very limited.
Many middle schools cover an area of 60,000 to 70,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the area of a school. The living environment of a person is only as small as a school. The outside world is so wonderful, but Guanshan cannot witness it. How can he not feel distressed?
In fact, Guanshan could step out of the strange domain in his current appearance, but that would cause chaos in the already unstable rift.
Once the channel becomes very unstable, Tan Yue may not be able to go back and forth through the channel, or even get lost in the rift, so the god rejected the lover's invitation.
To be precise, he had not invited her many times, only three times. His original plan was that if Tan Yue invited him a fourth time, he would agree. But the latter never proposed, but confessed to him instead.
Now Tan Yue took the initiative to find a lot of reasons for Him. The gods didn't even need to think of excuses and simply acquiesced to their lover's imagination.
However, He likes to see Tan Yue feel sorry for Him, but He won't keep watching him do stupid things: "I'm not trapped in such a small aquarium. You can see that I can return to the sea at any time."
Tan Yue smiled foolishly, and he touched his nose embarrassedly: "Oh, right, I couldn't wrap my mind around it for a moment." He was also confused because he cared too much, after all, whoever has the wife, he would feel sorry for her.
"It would be great if you could return to the sea at any time." The land has its own splendor, but the ocean has its own vastness. Compared to humans, which are bustling cities, perhaps mermaids would prefer the boundless ocean.
Moreover, compared to the complicated and scheming humans, the environment of marine life should be much simpler. They don't need to use their brains or worry about survival issues.
After discovering the big secret that his lover is a mermaid, Tan Yue has a lot of questions to ask.
"What do you like to eat?" "Are there any dietary restrictions?"
When you like someone, you will accommodate each other. The dietary difference between mermaids and humans should be quite large.
Moreover, mermaids are marine creatures, and many marine creatures are afraid of fire. If the two of them are together, the burden of cooking will undoubtedly fall on Tan Yue.
When the two of them were eating together, Tan Yue would notice what the other person liked to eat, and then silently remember it in his heart.
But now the two people are of different species, he feels it is necessary to ask about some taboos to prevent Guan Shan from accidentally being exposed.
"Also, you won't turn into foam without love like in the mermaid story, right?"
The lifespan of mermaids seems to be much longer than that of humans. Various fairy tale books describe mermaids as immortals, just like elves.
Thinking of the ending of the Little Mermaid in the fairy tale, Tan Yue couldn't help but feel palpitations.
"The Little Mermaid disappeared because the prince didn't love her! Do you mean you will change your heart in the future?!"
"Of course not!" Tan Yue retorted firmly. The people in their Tan family are very loyal. Once they set their minds on someone, they will not change. Besides, his wife is the most beautiful woman in the world, so he is not the kind of playboy.
If we really want to pursue thrills, what can be better than the thrill of a murder case? People who love to pursue thrills often die quickly, but Tan Yue is not one who loves to pursue thrills. He likes to live a peaceful, stable life without too many twists and turns.
Besides, finding a boyfriend who is actually a mermaid is bizarre enough in itself, and the sea is so mysterious. Tan Yue feels that she will never be able to unravel all the secrets of her lover in her lifetime.
"I'm just a little scared. The little mermaid had to walk on two legs because it was very painful. She danced on the edge of a knife every day. I'm afraid it must be painful for you too. If it hurts, don't walk with your legs, just use your tail."
Guanshan is like a perfect creation of God. It is very beautiful in itself, and the lines of the two legs transformed from the light blue fish tail are also extremely graceful.
Tan Yue likes both forms of Guan Shan, he just cares more about whether the other person is comfortable or not.
The older lover bent his finger and gave him a chestnut on the head: "Stop reading fairy tales. No witch would dare to make that kind of deal with me."
What He said was not "will make peace" but "dare to make peace". Even if there really is a witch, she should be worshipped unconditionally. How dare she ask for high rewards from the gods?
In the fairy tale written by humans, the little mermaid is so naive and stupid. She gave up her most precious thing for a man. Not only did she become mute, but she also had to endure the pain of having her feet stepped on the tip of a knife.
Although Guan Shan is in love with Tan Yue, the gods only want to enjoy themselves and never suffer.
Tan Yue always finds various angles to praise his lover: "You are so amazing. I said there is no need to suffer that kind of hardship."
He helped to tidy up Guan Shan's silky golden hair, his expression very gentle: "No matter when, I hope you can be happy and cheerful, don't be stupid and suffer. No one in this world is worth the suffering that the Little Mermaid had to endure, including me."
The weak human said such words in a protective manner. This was a very novel experience for the God. He did not say anything arrogantly. He gathered a drop of water on his fingertips and gently flicked it on Tan Yue's brow: "Don't think too much at your age. That day will never come."
That’s right, Guan Shan is older than him. He asked curiously: “The age you mentioned before is calculated according to human age? Wouldn’t the life span of mermaids be longer? You are not underage, are you?”
"Why do you have so many questions at once?" Speaking of which, Tan Yue had asked similar questions when he was still in Black Dragon Village.
He deliberately said: "Of course it is calculated according to human time. According to the age of mermaids, humans are 27 years old, and mermaids live 300 years. In fact, I am only nine years old, Brother Tan Yue..."
He spoke in a soft voice, just like Tan Yue called him brother, pinching his throat and sounding like a child.
Tan Yue's face turned pale instantly, and he reached out to slap himself, but Guan Shan grabbed his hand in time: "What are you doing?!"
Tan Yue had a sad face: "I am worse than an animal..." I didn't expect him to be so cruel to a nine-year-old child...
Guan Shan chuckled: "You think too much, I'm just kidding, I'm much older than you."
He teased Tan Yue and said, "Really, how can you believe everything? What you just said was obviously a joke."
He explained: "If a mermaid is underage, she won't do that with you. Mermaids are different from humans. They won't go into heat anytime and anywhere."
Speaking of which, mermaids seem to have a long estrus period, which is about these two months. The god looked at Tan Yue thoughtfully. The human body is still too fragile. It seems that He should prepare some nutrition for the other party in advance.
Tan Yue did not understand Guan Shan's meaningful look. He felt that what Guan Shan said made sense. After all, he was a human being, and it was impossible for him to understand mermaids better than the mermaids themselves.
"That's because I believe what you said. I believe everything you say." Tan Yue said coquettishly, "Brother, I will never lie to you, so don't lie to me."
"I won't lie to you anymore." The god promised. Anyway, not saying anything doesn't mean lying.
"How much older? Is it 71?" If 27 is the converted age, Guan Shan is a mermaid in his seventies, which seems a bit strange.
"I won't tell you. I'm older than you anyway." The god didn't intend to tell humans his real age. After all, if calculated according to human time, he would be an old monster who had lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years. He was worried that Tan Yue would despise him for being too old.
But there is no point in despising him. Even if Tan Yue is despised, he has already been branded with His mark from body to soul. Even if Tan Yue dies and his body is burned into ashes, his soul will return to the inner world and be led to His side.
Thinking of this, the god lowered his head and took another bite at the place where the brand was left before. The sharp teeth instantly pierced Tan Yue's collarbone. Guan Shan licked the oozing blood with a sweep of his tongue, and the color of the brand suddenly became a few shades darker.
This was the first time the two of them had an in-depth conversation. For Tan Yue, he certainly didn't want to leave his lover's side. After asking Guan Shan if he had any other work arrangements, the two of them stayed together in the lounge for most of the day.
It was not until Tan Yue's stomach growled that he remembered that they had not eaten yet.
"Take a bath here first. I'll go get some ingredients and cook in the small kitchen over here."
The central kitchen has more complete supplies, but Guan Shan is now in mermaid form, and Tan Yue feels that he needs to rest, so he will feel at ease only if he brings him over to look after Guan Shan.
"I'll go with you." And by the way, add some nutrition to the food for humans.
The water level in the bathtub dropped rapidly. Guan Shan snapped his fingers, and the water evaporated in an instant. The blue fish tail transformed into two straight and slender white thighs in a short time.
When seeing this scene, Tan Yue inexplicably felt that it looked familiar, as if he had seen his lover perform this magical ability before.
Maybe it's an illusion caused by watching similar fantasy dramas. Besides, mermaids are mysterious creatures of the deep sea, so it's normal for them to have some magical powers to control water, right?
"Amazing!" Thinking of this, Tan Yue's emotional value was still very sufficient. He was born with a pair of clear amber eyes that made people feel very sincere. Every time he praised, his emotions were very abundant, and it didn't seem like he was coaxing people at all. He directly maximized the emotional value.
After all, who doesn't like praise rather than belittlement? Even if Guan Shan thinks this little trick is not worth mentioning, he will be happy to perform it a few more times if his lover praises him.
Life was peaceful and quiet here, but outside the small space of the lounge it was very lively.
"I'm so tired and hungry." After a morning of hard work, the two young men returned to the staff lounge smelling bad.
The other people couldn't help but pinch their noses and look down on them: "Did you guys go rolling in the cesspool? Why is it so smelly? Stay away!"
Instead, Zhang Yang, who was previously difficult to talk to, said with concern: "There is a shower room in the employee lounge. Go take a shower quickly, otherwise it will be uncomfortable."
After the two people came out of the shower, Zhang Yang looked them up and down and breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that this strange area is not so perverted. At least the work of the cleaners is relatively safe."
Newcomers who have not experienced it simply don’t understand. As long as they can survive, being a little dirty or smelly doesn’t matter. Compared to rolling on knives, rolling in a pit of feces is already very comfortable.
In fact, the World Oceanarium was originally much more dangerous than it is now, but the part-time employee Xiao Tan is a human being. Whether it is the security guard Uncle Ping, the cleaning lady Chen, or the trainer, they all have a good impression of the human Xiao Tan.
Considering the mental health issues of the human Xiaotan, Aunt Chen did not do anything to these new human employees. Otherwise, these old employees would not mind eating some human snacks.
According to the employee code of conduct, old employees are not allowed to do anything to new employees at will, but if the new employees do not respect them, there is nothing wrong with accepting bribes such as a finger or an arm.
Zhang Yang briefly explained what the dolphin supervisor had said, and asked them to recite the rules. Then he reminded them, "Okay, you two should hurry up and recite the conditions of the animals in each area."
Although the two cleaners were delayed, they had more experience than the others in actually walking the job. So it seems that Manager Tuntun's allocation of work was relatively fair.
The two cleaners covered their hungry stomachs and said, "Do you have anything to eat? We are so tired from working that we are almost starving to death. What if we faint from hunger while receiving tourists?"
According to Manager Tuntun’s rules, they provide accommodation but not food.
Zhang Yang said, "I've checked. There's a vending machine in the employee lounge. With a daily salary of 100 Ghost Coins, you can buy the cheapest human employee meal for 30 Ghost Coins per meal, and you can still have 10 Ghost Coins left over. But we haven't finished work yet, so we have to wait until the evening."
They can only eat human food in this area. If they eat weird food, they will mutate.
Zhang Yang went on to say: "But don't look down on these ghost coins. After you get out, one ghost coin can be exchanged for ten thousand real currencies on the official platform." What he didn't say was that people who have experienced the other world generally won't sell them unless they are extremely short of money. After all, people who have entered the other world once are very likely to enter again next time.
Gui coins can be used to bribe the strange, and the more you have, the better. This thing is equivalent to a life-saving talisman. If you use money to exchange for life, no matter how much money you have, you will not be able to spend it. However, he did not intend to remind these people, and it would not be good for him. It would be best if these people went out, and then he would buy all the Gui coins from these people privately.
The nine people immediately became excited: "You mean, 10 Gui coins left a day, that's 100,000 a day, my god, that's a lot."
In reality, nothing can make money faster than this. If you don't eat, you can earn 1 million a day. If you are frugal and save it for a month, wouldn't that be tens of millions? You'll be rich.
"Then I can understand why this place is dangerous. The greater the risk, the greater the reward."
Among the nine people, there was a rich young man who asked: "Can I use real money to buy it from the vending machine? I should spend tens of thousands to buy a few dollars worth of drinks?" Anyway, he was not short of money and didn't care about this.
Zhang Yang said: "You can try."
The young man immediately ran to the vending machine to buy something. The real payment code could not be used. In addition to the Guibi payment, the vending machine also had another payment method.
Click on other payment methods: "You can pay with body parts. Do you want to pay with the following parts: brain/limbs/fingers/kidneys/eyes..."
The prices for different parts were different. The experimenter quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been scalded.
His eyes rolled around. The body parts mentioned above did not necessarily have to be one's own. Maybe someone else's could be used as well.
Among the nine people, a young man who had read many similar stories asked: "Only the ghost coins are valuable, are there other things here that are also valuable, such as props?"
Zhang Yang glanced at him with a half-smile, and emphasized: "The things used by people in the other world are all polluting. Don't think about stealing anything. If you take something you shouldn't take, you will die faster. The premise for converting them into cash is that you can get out of here first."
They are going to work here for a month, and if these idiots continue to act as relaxed as they do now, it is estimated that few of them will be able to get out alive.
People are pulled into the other world randomly, without considering age, gender, education, occupation or moral standards.
Among the survivors who successfully escaped from the other world, there were those fellow travelers who loved to steal and were smart-assed. They ate things they shouldn't have eaten, took things they shouldn't have taken, or were completely left behind and became a member of the other world.
Or they will have their limbs broken off, their intestines pierced, and their stomachs rotted, becoming food for the residents of the underworld.
A gangster with dyed green hair didn't take Zhang Yang seriously and whispered to his companions, "The timid will die of starvation, and the bold will die of gluttony. I don't think everything he said is true."
After all, Zhang Yang hasn't shown any amazing abilities since he first spoke until now. Instead, he's always been a bit condescending, which really makes him unhappy.
The man in a suit next to the gangster also agreed: "That's right, I think we should not only be on guard against weird things, but also be on guard against so-called old men like him, otherwise we might get tricked by him."
No matter what these people thought, Zhang Yang still gave a piece of chocolate to the two cleaners.
"Eat this first to fill your stomach and hold you over until tonight."
Ever since they learned about the existence of the other world, they all carry some high-calorie food with them.
Generally speaking, when people are pulled into the other world, their belongings will be brought in, such as backpacks, but this is not always the case.
"Thank you, thank you very much."
The green-haired hooligans immediately stretched out their hands and said shamelessly: "Brother Zhang, give me some too."
Zhang Yang knocked the thug's hand away and said, "Wait until you're about to pass out from hunger."
Zhang Yang was not the only one in the team who had food. Several girls also had some snacks and water in their bags. However, knowing that this place was very dangerous, they held their bags tightly and would not take them out to share with others.
While everyone was thinking their own thoughts, Tan Yue cooked a large portion of seafood noodles for the two of them, filling their stomachs.
He also kneaded the dough and prepared to let it ferment, and grilled seafood pizza for Guan Shan in the evening. Guan Shan said that he had no dietary restrictions and could eat anything, so Tan Yue thought that although his lover couldn't go out, he could bring in the delicious food from outside.
While waiting for the dishwasher to work, Tan Yue received a text message from the work group.
HR Tuntun: "Today the aquarium will be open for trial operation. A large number of guests will be arriving. Please be ready to receive them. @All group members"
Everyone still gives face to the new human resources manager.
Cleaning Aunt Chen: Received
Trainer Sombra: Received
Security guard Pingshu: Received
Tan Yue was also very curious about the aquarium's opening to the public, so he sent a message to the group.
Keeper's talk: Received
Guan Shan saw this and sent a message to Xiao Tan: "Received"
Another announcement popped up in the group
Administrator Guanshan modified the group name of the breeder Xiaotan to - Guanshan's human Xiaotan
