Chapter 47 Chapter 47
As soon as it entered the sea, the treasure box Xiaobao was put into the "cold palace" by Mumu.
It had no interest in chewing snacks anymore, so it dived into the sea and caught a fish with the best smell:
"Baji!" This is the smell, authentic, genuine hometown food!
Mumu rolled happily, letting himself go, swinging his tail everywhere.
"Pah!"
The fish's tail accidentally slapped a passing sea turtle. Mu Mu quickly apologized: "I'm sorry!"
"Huh?" The sea turtle stretched out its wrinkled neck and slowly scanned it. "Mermaid? Your tribe's gathering place is not nearby."
Mu Mu nodded: "I'm looking for them."
"Then you have to speed up, little mermaid." The sea turtle's voice was old, "The ruling race in this sea area will not welcome you."
Mermaids have a very strong hunting ability. They and other marine overlords occupy territories respectively to ensure the amount of prey for their own race.
Mu Mu swallowed the fish in his mouth and nervously explored the surroundings:
Have you been discovered by the occupier of this sea area?
It released its hunting form and swam to the deep sea.
The image of the mermaid is gentle and harmless. It quietly bypasses some fierce auras and does not attract much attention.
"Hey, the one with the blue tail, wait!"
Mu Mu's eyelids jumped and he looked at the other side -
a huge monster with a length of ten meters approached quickly.
Mu Mu tightened his claws: Oops, it seems that this area is the territory of the killer whale.
The killer whale pointed its conical teeth at Mu Mu: "I tell you, your fancy color matching is out of date!"
Mu Mu: ...?
The killer whale turned over and showed it its black and white body:
"My color matching is cultural and meaningful, unlike you, with bright scales and a shell necklace, pretending to be high-class!"
"Yeah, big brother is right!" Mu Mu perfunctorily turned his tail and ran away.
Just after swimming a distance, a dolphin whistled and chased after it:
"???~ Little mermaid, are you alone?"
Mu Mu looked straight ahead: "Don't bother me, I'm on my way."
"Still a cool fish, I like it!" The dolphin swayed its body in an arc in a coquettish manner, "Did you make your own hairstyle? It's so beautiful, and the tail is also beautiful. The reflected light attracted me from a distance..."
"Huh!"
Mu Mu instantly switched to hunting mode and growled at it.
The dolphin screamed and ran away.
"Huh..." Mu Mu turned back into a mermaid and sighed deeply.
After coming into contact with the human star network, the fish in the sea felt so boring!
It swam for several hours without stopping and came to the sea area close to the mermaid's territory.
"Roar--"
Mu Mu did not rush in rashly, but emitted sound waves in the direction of the mermaid's breath.
It calls out from time to time, and if a fish it likes passes by, it will grab a bite or two, and if it sees a snail with beautiful patterns, it will swim over and knock on it.
'Mumu, don't be picky.'
Mumu obediently plucked a few pieces of seaweed to chew, and looked down at the small bag that Wen Ming had packed for her, and her light blue eyelashes trembled.
I miss my master a little bit...

In the annual voting event of the live broadcast platform, the masked anchor won the "most influential anchor" with a huge number of votes.
The official account of the live broadcast platform and other big anchors forwarded and congratulated, making this name a frequent hot search.
All parties came to take advantage of the popularity, and the masked anchor's account was tagged countless times, but he himself did not even post a thank you speech for the award.
If it were someone else, netizens might think the host is arrogant, but everyone is used to the "mysterious"
appearance of the masked host: "Every day I look forward to his broadcast, my electronic pickled mustard!"
"He disappears every other day, and the people upstairs still dare to use him as pickled mustard. Aren't they afraid of hypoglycemia?"
"Among those who have won the title of 'most influential host' over the years, the masked host is the most Buddhist one. He doesn't count the length of live broadcasts, the number of appearances in commercial activities, and he doesn't even post updates."
"The 'true god' doesn't need to count at all. If he starts to run his business seriously, what will other hosts have to do?"
"He has swept the sales area, the cute pet area, and the funny area, haha!"
Special Assistant Xu scrolled through the comments of netizens and said to himself:
"Why doesn't the masked host go live? He usually goes live quietly as soon as I get to work..."
Several ministers next to him were also scrolling through their computers dejectedly:
"Why are there no cute photos of the 'mascot' today? Admiral Wen should post photos of his little mermaid every day..."
The gloomy atmosphere in the conference room suddenly perked up when Wen Ming walked in.
There was a layer of light dark blue in the bottom of Wen Ming's eyes:
"Please state the main points briefly."
Assistant Xu saw that he had urgent matters to attend to, and quickened his speech: "Then let's discuss the main content of this meeting directly -
the selection of Wen's spokesperson."
Someone immediately suggested: "Celebrities related to mermaids, preferably the masked anchor, he has half a star's worth of traffic."
"He has been invited many times, but there has been no response."
Assistant Xu looked embarrassed: "As far as I know, he has not accepted any endorsement invitation from any company."
Everyone said regretfully: "He is simply wasting his own commercial value."
"He is also very casual in his live broadcasts. At the beginning, he even only wanted a small gift of one star coin. He must be a rich man."
"Yes, he broadcasts live for justice, not for money. I admire him!"
(At the same time, Mu Mu from Ocean Star dug the soil for five minutes, just because he saw a reflection and thought there was a star coin buried inside.)
Special Assistant Xu projected the picture to the center of the conference room: "There are some artists with good reputations here. If we choose from them, do you have any recommendations?"
The ministers looked at each other, unable to reach a consensus.
Wen's has already consolidated its position as the number one in the mermaid supplies industry, and it needs a spokesperson who can add icing on the cake.
These artists are either not very famous or too commercialized. There are only a few left with suitable salaries, and none of them have anything to do with the mermaid business.
They couldn't finalize the result for a long time...
Wen Ming listened to them arguing with each other and tried to contact the family butler on the optical computer.
The private chat box with the family butler was full of "failed to get the call", and this time the call was not connected.
Wen Ming looked out the window with a dim look.
The influence of the masked anchor is like a revolutionary wave. Even the electronic screen in the building opposite Wen's is playing related videos.
It was a public service announcement shot by Star Interstellar.
First, the famous scene of the masked anchor translating the "pretending to be dead" mermaid was edited, and the scene was frozen when the anchor said, "If you care about it, it will also have feelings for you."
In the minds of interstellar humans, mermaids have gradually changed from emotionless and low-IQ species to pets that yearn to be understood.
"Why don't mermaids endorse mermaid products?"
Wen Ming's words cleared all the voices in the conference room.
The first reaction of the crowd was "What nonsense is the admiral talking about?" After thinking carefully, they couldn't find any logical problems.
"Letting a mermaid be a spokesperson? It's unprecedented..."
"But Wen's has always been making history, I agree with the admiral's idea!"
"More and more mermaids are being broadcast live in the cute pet area of the live broadcast platform. With the popularity of Wen's company, we can definitely create a 'mermaid star'."
...
While everyone was thinking about the possibility of "mermaid endorsement", they looked out the window along Wen Ming's line of sight -
the huge screen of the masked anchor.
Everyone's ideas suddenly became clear: Although they couldn't invite the masked anchor, they could borrow his idea that "mermaids have feelings".
Admiral Wen's realm is at the level of atmosphere again!
Meeting result: Re-elect mermaid as spokesperson
Spokesperson mermaid: To be determined

After handling the company's affairs, Wen Ming called Xiao Jun on the computer:
"What's the matter with 'failed to get the call' when applying for a call?"
After Xiao Jun retired from the army, he worked in a telecommunications company. He analyzed:
"Maybe the other party has blocked you."
"Impossible." Wen Ming did not hesitate.
"That means one party has a bad signal." Xiao Jun was a little confused, "But now even the deep mountains and old forests are fully covered by the signal, unless there is a planet with a strong magnetic field."
"Is there a way to enhance the signal and contact that planet?"
"We can only wait for the other party's signal to stabilize." Xiao Jun asked back, "Why are you asking these questions? Can't contact the person? Is the other party important?"
Wen Ming vaguely said "hmm".
"Let me help you think of a solution." Xiao Jun asked, "When was the last time you contacted each other?"
"3 hours and 45 minutes ago."
Xiao Jun was confused: "It's only been three hours, what's there to worry about?"
It's time to play games with Mu Mu, but there's no one to play with him. Will he be lonely?
I have to feed him two nutritional pills every day. Did he remember to take them on time?
Such a simple little mermaid, what if a fish goes out and gets cheated?
Countless worries were on Wen Ming's lips: "A lot, can you help me contact them?"
"It's not been a long time since we lost contact, I can't help it, relax, no news is good news."
Xiao Jun saw that his comfort had no effect, so he joked: "Come to think of it, it may not be a signal problem, are you sure you can't be blocked?"
Xiao Jun saw Wen Ming's cold face, and his grinning fangs were retracted:
"No, I'm talking nonsense, Wen Ming, don't think too much..."
Wen Ming hung up the call.
"Ding! No mermaids were detected at home, do you want to continue to maintain the temperature and humidity to 'adapt to mermaids first'?"
He ignored the tireless broadcast from the sleeping cabin and walked into the mermaid room.
The mess here has not been sorted out yet, but it feels empty.
Wen Ming's eyes fell on the small flowerpot in the corner -
there was a notch on the leaves of the succulent plant, which was a circle of teeth marks that Mu Mu had bitten when he first came home.
Mu Mu is always so lively and keen to explore new things.
With a strong curiosity, it must prefer the free ocean.
"Mu Mu doesn't want to come back again?"
Wen Ming's spiritual sea was slightly shaken. Compared with the spiritual sea, he felt that there was a more uncontrollable darkness entangled in his body, dancing outward wildly.
"Ding!"
A new message popped up on the light computer.
'Housekeeper: [Voice 2 seconds][Picture]'
The picture is a close-up selfie. With the background of the sea, the little mermaid facing the camera at a "death angle" still looks good, with her mouth wide open, looking happy to the point of taking off.
The voice automatically plays: "Ah, wow!"
Master, there is a signal on the island!
