"Are you worried about safety?" Shui Yiyao asked.
The Jiao Clan didn't have much trust in the Mermaid Clan, and neither did she. Although it was later proven that the Jiao Clan was innocent, she still felt that there were too many disputes and too much trouble.
Maybe... maybe, this is the big clan?
"However, the Jiao Clan held a grand meeting of all clans, and every clan in the sea was present. Although our clan participated through the light eel's video transmission, it didn't affect us at all. At the meeting, they showed us their research results and gave us a drug development project plan and clinical research experiment report. They also had ordinary bloodlines of their clan test the drug on the spot, and it was successful when they got it ashore."
Before the Great Elder could answer, Xiao Bei added.
She felt very reliable.
It did sound very professional. However, as far as she knew, there were only about thirty sea creatures that could transform into humans, not many.
...and the Grand Conference of All Races.
Really impressive.
The Great Elder was silent for a moment. "The Black Dragon said that if the volunteers undergoing the drug trial are in a bad condition, their lives may be in danger."
Even for the most routine blood tests, a notice is posted outside the blood draw room, informing the patient of the risk of life. This is even more so for an unknown drug experiment. A serious life-threatening situation is indeed possible, albeit a small probability event.
Compared to the Jiao Clan telling the other clans: "There is no danger at all, come and try it!", this honest truth is obviously better.
The Great Elder said: "I want to wait until the other tribes have experimental results before considering it. There is no rush."
"No hurry?" Xiao Bei retorted loudly, "I don't know which old man is so anxious that his hair is almost falling out. He even uses seaweed to grow hair!"
"Ah! Nonsense!"
"I don't know which old man this is. They only accept people under 35, but he still insisted on signing up secretly!"
"I didn't, it's nonsense." The Great Elder said hurriedly: "We have to wait for the results of other tribes that have come ashore before we consider it. What if it's just a scam..."
"But the other tribes have already come ashore..." Xiao Bei was a little anxious.
The Great Elder: "Everyone has come ashore, but the turtles haven't come ashore either!"
Xiao Bei: "But the sea turtles can live for hundreds of years just by keeping their heads tucked in..."
"There are still many other tribes watching!"
"Why are you waiting and watching? The medical experts of the Jiao Clan have said that each clan has its own medicine, and the experimental results of other clans' medicines are not referenceable."
"If he says no, then there is no!"
"Of course. How can the medicine sharks use be exactly the same as the medicine mermaids use? Grandpa, you're being unreasonable!"
It turns out that these two are grandfather and grandson, and they usually call each other politely.
Seeing the two of them about to quarrel, Shui Yiyao hurriedly said, "Don't worry, let's discuss it slowly. I think the Great Elder's concerns are reasonable. This matter involves the Jiao Clan. Given our clan's current situation, if they want to do something, we have no ability to resist..."
The mermaid tribe is very weak, but perhaps it is precisely because of its weakness that the original mermaid princess Shui Yiyao completely gave up hope of survival, and was asked to take on the responsibility of revitalizing the mermaid tribe and get the chance to survive.
Everyone fell silent.
Their tribe is indeed too weak.
"So why don't we wait and see first. If other tribes are fine, we can go up first." Shui Yiyao said.
In fact, she can understand the Great Elder and Xiaobei.
Xiaobei has lived among the mermaids since she was little. She's adorable, treated like a child by her elders and a younger sister by her peers. She's deeply loved by her fellow mermaids, and it's this family-like love that has made her a loving person. With the increasing pollution of the seabed threatening the mermaids, it's no surprise she'd chosen to volunteer.
The Great Elder, in charge of all clan affairs, was responsible for the safety of every member. He had lived a long time and had witnessed too much hostility from other clans towards the mermaids, so it was only natural that he didn't believe it. Especially since Xiao Bei was his precious granddaughter.
If a parent has such a lovely granddaughter who clamors to be a volunteer in a drug trial, he or she will be very worried. Will he or she say: Go quickly, I will take you there?
The Great Elder cleared his throat and said, "Did you hear what the Patriarch said?"
"Let's not rush. Let's wait. This purifier will be effective for a while. It won't be that time yet, so why rush?"
Xiaobei stopped talking.
Shui Yiyao: "Xiaobei, don't worry, I'll go and ask around. If there's no problem, I'll definitely tell everyone."
Xiaobei responded sullenly.
Shui Yiyao talked to the Great Elder for a while before hanging up the phone.
In fact, from the conversation, it can be perceived that the Great Elder did not have too many doubts about the Jiao Clan's drug experiment itself. He relied on past experience and instinctively maintained vigilance against other clans, and in his position, he had to be vigilant.
After Shui Yiyao hung up the phone, she did not turn on the engraving machine immediately.
She picked up her phone, thinking about who to ask about the project.
She has Ao Li's contact information.
Before she terminated the contract, she shortened Jiang Luo's training sessions, but he was currently practicing painting, so it didn't affect him much.
After she terminated the contract, she attended classes whenever Jiang Luo was free.
Although they had met quite a few times, Ao Li and I hadn't had much contact. Furthermore, Ao Li was the project initiator and a direct stakeholder, so his statement wasn't very credible.
She wanted to ask Bai Gege, who was from the White Whale tribe, so she could get her opinion.
After thinking it over, she called Bai Gege.
"Ge Ge? I'm Yi Yao."
"Yiyao? Good morning! You called me, is there something wrong? Is there something wrong with my crystal crown?"
"No, the Crystal Crown is still being made, and everything is going smoothly. What I want to ask you is, are you aware of the Jiao Clan's drug trial project?"
"I know about this. I also attended the Ten Thousand Races Conference."
"What do you think of this project? Is it reliable?"
"I think it's quite reliable. The volunteers from our tribe who came ashore are now living with me and seem to be normal."
"When did he come ashore?"
"I signed up as a volunteer right at the conference. After being screened and passing the physical examination, I took the medicine and went ashore." Bai Gege said with a wry smile, "At least you live a little deeper than us. We, the White Whale Tribe, live in the shallow bay, and it's already very difficult. I wish everyone in the tribe could take the medicine and go ashore. Unfortunately, the Jiao Tribe only allows one test subject."
She sighed, her voice becoming deeper. “We watched the baby whales get sick one after another, and there was nothing we could do.”
She forced a laugh. "And as far as I know, Uncle Ao's medical team has been working on this project for five or six years. I trust him quite a bit."
"..." Shui Yiyao was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
After a while, Shui Yiyao's phone, which was left on the table, rang, and she received a WeChat message.
She picked up her phone and opened WeChat to see who had sent her the message.
It was Bai Gege, she sent a 16-second short video.
Shui Yiyao clicked on it and saw a video of a young-looking boy, about the same age as Xiaobei.
"This is our tribe's volunteer, Brother Xiaobai."
Bai Gege's voice came into the screen, and the camera moved to the boy's neck: "See? This is a neck monitor." He wore a thin metal ring around his neck, silver-white, and glowing with a cold light.
"If he shows any abnormality, it will be known at any time, making it easier to rescue him."
"And this..." The camera moved to the boy's wrist, "Xiaobai, raise your hand and let Sister Yaoyao see it."
Xiaobai raised her hand, revealing a ring on her wrist. It looked like a small electronic watch, black in color. Its appearance was similar to the electronic bracelets developed by some mobile phone manufacturers.
"See? This is also a monitor. In case the one on the neck breaks, there's also a monitor on the chest, but I won't show you that one. Anyway, I'm wearing three monitors, all given to me by the Jiao Clan. They monitor things like heart rate, body temperature, blood pressure, and so on. There are several items."
The short 16-second video ends.
Shui Yiyao pressed the voice input button: "I see. I'll think about it carefully. Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Think about it carefully." Bai Gege also sent a voice message.
After hanging up the phone, Shui Yiyao fell onto the sofa and pinched her temples.
From Bai Gege's point of view, this project is indeed worth doing.
The situation of their tribe is better than that of the White Whale tribe, so they have the opportunity and time to wait and see.
Anyway, their Beluga volunteers were there, so they would wait and observe for a while. If there were no problems, she would report to the tribe.

"Captain, please take a look. This is a summary of the volunteers' physical condition from yesterday. Aside from the puffer volunteer's tachycardia, which reached 180 beats per minute between 12:05 and 1:15 p.m., the rest of the volunteers are all normal."
Ao Xuan handed the folder in his hand to Ao Li, who was observing the microbial reactions under a microscope.
This document contains the volunteers' daily physical reactions, and the daily conditions must be summarized and submitted to the leader for review before 6 a.m. the next day.
Ao Li was wearing a white coat and white rubber gloves, and was frowning as he looked at the biological reactions under the microscope.
After hearing the report, Ao Li got down from the microscope, stood up, reached out to take the folder, opened the document, and read it line by line.
There are 34 tribes of sea creatures in total, and 22 tribes participated in the experimental project, so there were 22 volunteers in total.
Volunteers from the Puffer Tribe are one of them.
The folder includes each volunteer's physical data every hour, including body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, etc.
He looked through the data carefully one by one.
Until the 17th one, it was pufferfish.
At 12 noon, his heart rate was abnormally high. The normal heart rate should be between 60 and 100, but his reached 180 beats per minute.
There is a note at the end explaining the reason for the abnormal data: lunch was too spicy, I couldn’t stand it, and I was very angry - which caused my heart rate to be too fast.
Ao Li: “…”
He said that if there is any abnormality, it must be reported to him immediately. No wonder this was not reported yesterday.
They are indeed the angry pufferfish tribe.
Ao Li continued reading and wrote down the data of each volunteer.
After he finished reading, he closed the folder and asked Ao Xuan beside him, "Are there any new volunteers joining?"
Ao Xuan shook his head: "No, the older clansmen who live deeper in the house are still watching."
Ao Li nodded. "Then we should keep a summary of our progress and send it to these tribes so they can keep up to date."
Ao Xuan: "Yes."
After he answered, his face showed some confusion, and his brows were furrowed. "Chief, since those old tribesmen are unwilling, then why not just leave them alone?"
"When the nest is overturned, how can the eggs remain intact?" Ao Li had already sat down in his observation chair, ready to continue his observations. When he heard Ao Xuan's words, he glanced at him and said, "Besides, when the Jiao clan experienced internal strife and riots, did other clans ever say to leave us alone?"
When you receive a favor, you can't turn your back on it. Furthermore, the entire Sea Clan, which originally had hundreds of tribes, now only has 34 left, which is already too few. If they stop protecting it, the Sea Clan will soon be overthrown.
Ao Li said calmly, "I can't be in the sea all the time these days, but I know what it's like there. Don't blame others for not trusting you or me. My tribe's work isn't very reliable either."
Ao Xuan was unconvinced: "We are just ordinary sea people like them. We are bound to make mistakes. How can we do it perfectly?"
Ao Li: "As the leader of the Sea Nation Alliance, it is our natural duty to do our best."
The leader state has an obligation to protect the member states of the alliance, which was agreed upon when the alliance was established.
Ao Li raised his eyes slightly, his expression slightly cold: "When you return to the tribe, tell these people who are talking nonsense to behave themselves. Don't cause trouble for me."
"Otherwise, the clan rules will take effect."
Ao Xuan's eyes narrowed, and he replied carefully, "Yes."
There is only one clan rule, and it is very simple - anyone who does not listen to the clan leader will be the clan leader's meal.
When the red dragon started the bloody riot, the leader ate many of the rebellious tribesmen.
