Chapter 14 Chapter 14
During the night when Mumu was learning to say "goodnight", a change occurred on his body that made him doubt his fish life -
his fish tail turned into legs.
A pair of bare, scaleless legs that were extremely clumsy in the water.
Mumu stared at his lower body and said, "This is the place that the master doesn't allow me to touch..."
He touched the back of his neck again, and the gills he used to breathe underwater were gone.
He has completely turned into a human!
Mumu tried to stretch his legs, but the resistance of the water was more than twice that of a fish tail swimming.
He slipped and fell into the water on his back. He breathed out of habit, but his eyes went black because of the choking.
Help, help -
before he almost became the first mermaid to drown, Mumu's legs turned back into a tail...
"Ah!?" What the hell is going on!
After a night of experimentation, Mu Mu successfully transformed into a human several times.
Just like the hunting form, it can switch to the human form by controlling consciousness.
But it is not very proficient at the moment. Sometimes when it silently recites "human form", the claws of the hunting form emerge...
Mu Mu is not sure whether this skill belongs to the mermaid or the merman.
If it is the ability of the mermaid, it has to hide it; but if all mermaids can become humans...
it can go to work and earn money with its owner!
Mu Mu began to fantasize about his future work life.
The next day, Wen Ming came to feed the mermaids as usual before going to work. Mu Mu looked at him in a suit and tie, as if he was looking at his own future...
"?"
Wen Ming stroked the corner of Mu Mu's eyes with his thumb: "Dark circles?"
"Ding! 201 water flows were detected in the mermaid pond at night. Conclusion: The mermaids stayed up late." The housekeeper reminded.
"Didn't sleep well?" Wen Ming turned around and closed the curtains, "Then let Mu Mu make up for it."
"Oh."
Mu Mu answered, and when he heard the pronunciation that sounded like human language, his pupils shrank dramatically.
He lowered his head and saw that it had indeed become legs.
Why did it show up at this time! ?
Mu Mu held his breath, dived into the water, hugged his legs and yelled in his heart:
Change back! Quick!
"Mu Mu?"
The figure was reflected on the water surface, and Mu Mu couldn't see Wen Ming's expression through the shaking water ripples.
Damn, I won't be caught and forced to work today...
"Why are you holding your tail?" Wen Ming said in a normal tone, "I'll take care of your tail when I come back."
"..."
Mu Mu was so scared that his soul had not yet returned to its place, and he sank quietly to the bottom of the water.
Wen Ming slowed down his movements and left fish food and snacks.
Hearing the sound of him leaving, Mu Mu swam out to eat.
Practicing transformation overnight consumed a huge amount of energy, and a bowl of mermaid food was not enough to fill its stomach.
Mu Mu sipped the saliva from the bag of fish food, and glanced at the housekeeper who was lingering in the mermaid room.
"Woo..." Forget it.
It is no longer the mermaid who was always thinking about food. Now, it is an interstellar "three mermaids" with a master, ideals, and troubles.
It urgently needs a medium to communicate with the outside world!
"Ao!" Mu Mu howled at the housekeeper.
The camera on the robot turned towards it, reflecting a cold and hard light.
"Aoao?" Housekeeper, can you help me contact Huahua? Huahua, the mermaid raised by Xiao Jun.
The camera turned back again.
Mu Mu's face fell, and he pushed the mermaid bowl on the wall of the pool down.
With a "clang", the fallen mermaid bowl attracted the housekeeper to approach the mermaid pool.
"Ding ding!" The cylindrical fuselage unfolded a hole, ready to extend the robotic arm to pick up something.
Where's the robotic arm?
The housekeeper was obviously stuck, and it kept stumbling beside the mermaid pool.
The murderer who cut off the robotic arm knocked on the outer shell of the machine: "Ouch."
The camera turned, and the distance was very close. Mu Mu could even see his own reflection from inside.
"Ouch..." If you can't contact Huahua, check, can mermaids turn into humans?
"Ding ding, foreign language detected, translating." The display screen started to turn the loading circle.
Mu Mu held his face and shook his fish tail expectantly.
"Translation failed, out of language library range." The loading circle turned into a red cross, "Please enter the question you want to query——"
The display screen provides a search box with dozens of input methods.
Very user-friendly, but not mermaid-friendly enough.
Mu Mu randomly tapped on the screen and sighed deeply: "The laboratory didn't teach me to read..."
"Ding, searching, 'The laboratory didn't teach me to read'."
"?" Mu Mu saw a human with black hair in the reflection of the camera.
The next second, the housekeeper flashed a red alarm light: "A stranger's face was scanned, an outsider broke in, and the owner of the house is being notified!"
"Don't!" Mu Mu slapped the machine, "Take another good look, I'm the mermaid at home!"
The housekeeper became even more stuck.
The scan result was exactly the same as the input information, but the race match failed.
There was a "boom" inside the machine, and some black smoke came out of the top.
The CPU really exploded.
"Wait, don't die yet." Mu Mu said concernedly, "Help me search, can mermaids become humans?"
The family housekeeper was still down, and the search box worked automatically, and the electronic voice announced:
"Mermaids can't become humans."
Mu Mu was melancholy: "Then this must also be kept secret..."
The housekeeper's indicator light flashed, becoming the highest level of alert: "The mermaid has abnormal behavior, all of which have been captured, and the owner of the house is being notified!"
At the same time, Wen Ming, who was in the morning meeting, received an urgent message from the housekeeper...
"Don't notify him! I'm not a dangerous person. I'm just asking you some questions quietly. Don't report it. The owner is very busy at work."
'Release Mu Mu's authority at home. Whatever it wants to do, let it do it. '
"Ding! Received the command, the notification has been canceled."
A loading bar appeared on the screen: "Sending the abnormal pictures taken." "
Don't send the pictures! Why is your machine so stubborn?"
Mu Mu was anxious and annoyed. He switched to hunting mode and grabbed the camera with one claw...
Several neat cracks ran through the body of the fuselage, and even the main chip inside was faintly exposed.
The housekeeper almost lost his life here.
"Instructions received, video sending canceled." It made a strong electronic sound of snowflakes.
"So you are so obedient..." Mu Mu felt a little guilty and turned back into human form.
"This machine is the latest model of housekeeper, with complete functions to meet all your requirements."
The medium for communicating with the outside world is now available!
Mu Mu's eyes lit up: "Almighty housekeeper, can you recommend me a way to earn star coins?"
"What are your requirements for the job?"
Mu Mu counted on his fingers: "Free time, fast money, no cost... It's best not to show up!"
The omnipotent housekeeper was silent.
Even if you scratch a lottery ticket, you need money to buy it. According to these requirements, most of the jobs searched out are not in line with the Star Method.
A part fell out of the crack, and the display screen flashed into snowflakes...
On the other side, Wen Ming received an emergency message, compressed the meeting efficiency to the highest level, and made time to rush home.
Strangely, the alarm content sent by the housekeeper was empty, without text, photos, or videos.
Wen Ming arrived at the door of his house and received a new message from the housekeeper:
"Save me!"
"Wen Ming paid special attention to the doors and windows, and there were no signs of intrusion.
So the only thing in the house that the housekeeper could ask for help was...
Wen Ming went straight to the mermaid room -
the housekeeper was next to the mermaid pool, motionless, and the little mermaid was holding a part, trying to restore it anxiously.
Seeing Wen Ming, Mu Mu clenched the parts in his hand, hid them behind his back, and squeezed a guilty smile at him:
"Oh?" You came back so soon? Fortunately, I changed back to the mermaid form in time.
Wen Ming walked closer step by step.
Mu Mu's smile became more stiff, and he lifted his tail and put it on the edge of the pool:
Still want to rub it?
"Now I don't maintain the fish tail." Wen Ming hung his palm up in front of Mu Mu, "Give it to me."
The white fingers pinched the parts and put them in his palm obediently.
Wen Ming glanced at the damage to the body of the Family Butler, and pressed down the corners of his mouth.
"Oh!" I was wrong!
Mu Mu's head was about to drop to his chest: "Woo woo..." I didn't use any strength when I hit him. I just wanted to scare him, so I didn't control the strength well...
Wen Ming interrupted him: "Are you hurt?"
Mu Mu carefully glanced at the housekeeper and nodded: "Huh." It was seriously injured.
Wen Ming: "What about you?"
Mu Mu blinked and shook his head.
"The housekeeper is an electric robot with a battery inside. If you touch it in this state, it may leak electricity."
"Huh!" Electric shock!
Mu Mu remembered the stun gun in the laboratory and the tip of his tail curled up.
Wen Ming's hand reached out to it.
"!" Mu Mu thought he was going to punish him, so he shrank his neck and closed his eyes.
Wen Ming paused in the air, continued to approach, and gently rubbed the tip of its ears.
"Mu Mu, look at me."
The little mermaid's eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and she looked up at him.
"Don't be afraid."
Wen Ming's dark pupils were as calm as when they first met, but there was a subtle, imperceptible change:
"Don't be afraid of me, and don't be afraid of the housekeeper, this is your home."
Mu Mu smiled, opened his arms and rushed over, and when he was about to hug him, he braked suddenly and didn't touch Wen Ming's straight suit.
He pulled a small blanket from the pool and draped it over his upper body.
From hair to waist, he was wrapped tightly, and then raised his face, the only part left outside:
"Ah!" Now your clothes won't get wet, hug!
Wen Ming's computer was flashing messages, including a series of life-threatening calls from Assistant Xu:
'General, have you dealt with the urgent matters?'
'Many departments are inquiring about toy development, it's urgent, when will you return to the company?'
'Your mother is here...'
Wen Ming turned off the computer, leaned over the mermaid pond, and hugged the "little blanket spirit".
Mu Mu hummed in his ear, as if apologizing for the housekeeper's affairs, and as if confiding some troubles.
He didn't understand, but he felt that these were more important than Assistant Xu's messages.
