Seeing that Bai Liu was about to be bitten, the audience became extremely anxious and turned into angry old men, shouting at the small TV:
"Wake up! Get up and fight monsters!"
"Can't you sleep after you get out? Do you really need this one hour of sleep? Didn't your mother teach you not to idle while playing games?"
"I've been watching gaming videos for so long, and I've never seen anyone give away the game like this. They could have won, but they just gave it away."
Amid the noise of the crowd, Bai Liu in the small TV seemed to be woken up and opened her eyes as if she was half asleep.
He looked at the fisherman who was swimming towards his boat, with half of a fish head floating out of the sea with its mouth open, parting the waves.
Bai Liu could see that their legs under the water had turned into eel-like tails, swimming like snakes, twisting and turning underwater, and rapidly approaching Bai Liu on the sea surface.
Andre's boat, not far from the White Willow, was a white skeleton covered with blood and some minced meat.
The lower body of Andre's skeleton has begun to fuse, becoming a bit like a fish, and the strips of his clothes are torn and hanging by the side of the boat, floating alone on the sea. It can be seen what a ferocious group of animals these mermaids are.
In this critical situation, Bai Liu just slowly soaked the quilt in the sea water twice, then pulled it up to cover the entire boat, and shrank under the quilt and shivered as if he was escaping from himself. This turtle-like action triggered the helpless rage of the onlookers.
But Bai Liu still performed this movement extremely slowly and with difficulty, as if his body was about to be frozen.
Marble patterns began to spread on Bai Liu's originally fair fingers.
He was now in the same situation as Lucy before—his body temperature dropped drastically, and he felt like he was slowly turning into a stone. Neither his brain nor his movements were very sharp, so he couldn't control his shaking.
Bai Liu looked at the barrels of alcohol in his panel and ordered: [Take out a barrel of alcohol]
[System prompt: Already taken out]
A barrel of alcohol appeared on the boat, weighing it down and causing it to sink a bit, making the spectators even more frightened.
The monster is almost reaching Bai Liu's boat!
Bai Liu pulled out a box of matches from his pocket, curled up in the wet quilt, and trembled with his hands several times before he lit the match.
His expression was still calm. After lighting the match, Bai Liu lifted a corner of the quilt, stood up, stepped on the alcohol barrel, and laboriously poured the alcohol onto the sea.
This operation made the audience cover their eyes and couldn't bear to watch it:
"Pouring alcohol into the sea... Is this what he came up with because his mental state has dropped?"
"It's not that it can't be burned. High-concentration alcohol can still float on the sea surface and burn for a few minutes, but it's a drop in the bucket. And it's ineffective against these mermaid monsters. They are not afraid of fire."
Throwing the match onto the sea surface that had been poured with alcohol, a raging fire immediately started. Bai Liu, wrapped in a wet quilt, lowered his eyes in the warm fire and looked at the mermaids approaching. His expression was extremely calm, as if he had been waiting for these mermaids to approach for a long time.
A burning bonfire suddenly lit up on the dark, cold sea. The mermaid approached and hugged the small boat, swimming around it and wagging its tail greedily. Bai Liu sat on the small boat in the center of the bonfire, his eyes reflecting the flames and the sea.
Bai Liu's eyes were reflected by the colors of fire and alcohol. She looked more like a siren that had snorkeled from the deep sea to the shore than those strange monsters under the boat. Her alienated face had a kind of magical attraction.
The mermaids, eager to catch prey, were engulfed in flames the moment they poked their heads out of the sea. There was a crackling sound of fish being burned, and the mermaids let out shrill screams, turned over their bellies, and floated on the sea to struggle.
The roasted fish meat gave off a strange aroma. The mermaids that were originally approaching the boat went to eat the roasted mermaids. The sharp sounds of bones and flesh breaking were heard around the boat.
The strong smell of blood and fish filled Bai Liu's nostrils, turning into a strange, extremely delicious taste, which made Bai Liu lick his lips, but there was still no emotion on his face.
He was surrounded by mermaids biting each other, but Bai Liu just sat there quietly. His face, which had originally looked pale and gloomy due to the mutation, was baked into a healthy and rosy complexion by the alcohol and the fire. He looked at Andre's empty boat and smiled for some reason.
It was a satisfied, rewarded smile, similar to the expression on the faces of mermaids who were munching on fish with contentment, but a little more creepy.
Bai Liu whispered hoarsely, "Good night, Andre."

A long list of rewards and achievement panels popped up, almost stunning the audience sitting in front of the small TV.
After waiting for a long time, the audience member who said that Bai Liu was a gift before uttered an inconceivable interjection: "Fuck!"
This was like a ringing finger, bringing all the audience members who were immersed in the previous scene back to their senses. Everyone asked frantically at the same time:
"What is going on?!"
"What the hell! This guy won by doing nothing. What a great operation."
"Fuck, I was stunned. I quickly went to the forum to ask Mu Shen what was going on!"
"Why doesn't the alcohol he used dissolve in water?!"
"I searched for the alcohol he bought. Damn, guess what I found in the dozen-page instruction manual of this alcohol - this is a permanent oily semi-solid alcohol that has been modified to be insoluble in water. I'm impressed. How did this newcomer find this alcohol?"
"Did he read all the instructions?"
"The Faun replied to me! He said that mermaid sculptures and mermaid sailors are not afraid of fire, but mermaid larvae are afraid of fire, which means that mermaids without amulets are afraid of fire."
"And Bai Liu is very smart. He must have discovered that cooked mermaid meat is very attractive to these mermaid monsters, so he used fire to roast some of the mermaid larvae. Then the mermaids will not attack the players, but will eat the cooked meat..."

[Congratulations to player Bai Liu for obtaining the promotion position and entering the recommended position in the single-player game division system. The number of views is increasing rapidly...]
Bai Liu sat on the boat, bored, with his chin in his hand, watching the mermaids biting each other, and covered himself with a wet quilt to prevent himself from getting burned.
Once the mermen had finished tearing each other apart, he poured more alcohol on top and set it on fire.
The grilled fish was much more attractive to the mermaids than Bai Liu, so the mermaids did not attack Bai Liu. Bai Liu was like a self-service barbecue chef, sitting steadily on the boat and grilling mermaids for these monsters to eat.
While grilling, Bai Liu made a rough estimate in his mind - about four or five barrels of alcohol would be enough to last until dawn, which was only 45 points, a fraction of the 140 points of the two bubbles in the water.
And he still had five barrels of alcohol left.
The reason why Bai Liu wanted to buy alcohol was because he heard the keeper of the Siren Wax Museum tell him that mermaids can be cooked, including roasted, and everyone loves to eat this kind of mermaids.
Then it can be roasted. High-temperature fire attack is effective, and the cooked mermaids should be quite attractive to other mermaids.
Andre's craving for fish fillets showed that he didn't eat as much raw fish tonight as he did fish fillets this morning.
