Chapter 332: Tolerance

This group of aquatic creatures are deeply wary of humans.

According to 'Grandma', the leader of this small mixed aquatic tribe, they were once persecuted by humans.

According to her, poems such as "I am afraid there may be mermaids on the shore, shedding pearls to the moon" seem to be praising poems, but in fact, they contain the blood and tears of mermaids and aquatic creatures in ancient times.

This is naturally the product of the integration of film and television plots into the real world and their self-consistent logic.

In fact, it makes sense - all creatures in the frosty sky compete for freedom.

If humans want to become the overlord and protagonist of this planet, they will inevitably come into fierce competition with other races - the struggle for interests between different races is only a superficial phenomenon, and the struggle for living space is the essence.

Especially the aquatic people are an intelligent race.

The threat from intelligent races is even greater.

As for capturing mermaids, forcing them to shed tears and produce mermaid pearls, it is nothing more than ancillary demand for benefits.

Because they were wary of humans, when Jiang Shan laughed, they became like frightened birds; the subsequent communication was not smooth, and Jiang Shan had to use his strength to suppress them before he had a chance to talk to them properly.

"Don't worry about me doing anything unacceptable to you."

Jiang Shan said: "To put it another way, you are no threat to me, nor to human civilization today. To me, you are just a group of little white rabbits. Nowadays, humans like and love little white rabbits. People who eat little white rabbits will inevitably be attacked in public opinion."

"I recognize you." The little mermaid Shanshan hid behind the old mermaid, poked her head out and said, "You are the good man they are talking about. Your name is Jiang Shan."

Jiang Shan laughed: "Since you know I'm a good person, why should you be afraid?"

"You are just a good person, you are not a mermaid." said grandma.

Jiang Shan laughed and nodded: "That makes sense."

Then he said, "But I have no ill will towards you. I just came to the manor today and found some traces you left in the suspended glass house. I was curious and came to meet my neighbors."

"Neighbors?" Grandma's expression changed: "Do you admit that we are your neighbors? You are not here to drive us away?"

Jiang Shan laughed loudly: "Why should I chase you away? Isn't it interesting to have a group of water creatures as neighbors? Are you really that vicious?"

"Nonsense!" Shanshan said, "We are not vicious at all!"

"That's right." Jiang Shan clapped his hands: "I like neighbors in Pingning."

Only at this point was the misunderstanding cleared up.

Then Jiang Shan chatted with his grandma for a while.

We learned that this tribe used to live in the deep South China Sea. There were no more than a few hundred people in the tribe. Although they were not safe, they could still survive. However, not long ago, giant alien biological weapons attacked them, destroyed their homes, and caused heavy casualties.

In desperation, grandma had to flee in panic with the remaining tribesmen.

“We are lost,” she said.

They had originally planned to flee westward, preferably to the Atlantic Ocean, away from the Pacific Ocean; but in the panic they got lost and ended up fleeing all the way to the vicinity of an island country.

Then they were frightened by the nuclear dinosaurs lurking in the waters near Fukushima, so they turned around and ran away, escaping here in a daze. Seeing that the environment in Qingluo Bay was good, they decided to settle down temporarily.

She said: "We just want a place to settle down, but why is it so difficult?"

Her tired eyes were filled with powerlessness and helplessness.

After listening to her story, Jiang Shan nodded and said, "Your tribe is too weak."

This is the root cause.

In nature, a weak group is vulnerable to bullying and has a low ability to resist risks. Once a storm hits, the group can be wiped out.

The original plot of The Little Mermaid is about the issue of environmental protection on the surface, but in essence it is about the issue of racial persecution.

In fact, to Jiang Shan, this aquatic tribe posed no threat to him, nor did they have any hatred against him, so there was no question of conspiracy or persecution.

So he said: "You now have two choices."

Said: "First, I will help you make contact with the authorities so that you can become a part of this land."

There is a reason for this.

The villagers of Daluo Village have become legal citizens.

Hearing this, most of the aquatic creatures looked bewildered.

Jiang Shan said, "You are not the first alien race I have seen. Before you, the goblins appeared on this land before you. After they contacted the authorities, they were well accepted and became legal citizens."

Grandma couldn't help but ask, "Fairy?"

Jiang Shan nodded: "It is a tribe in a pocket universe called Daluo Village. Various birds, beasts, and plants have become spirits and transformed into human forms. They are fairies."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Grandma couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

Jiang Shan smiled and said, "The second option is that I have an island called Koros, which is probably not far from your hometown. You can also move to the sea area near Koros Island and continue to be my neighbor."

As soon as these words came out, Shanshan popped up again and asked, "Aren't you afraid of those monsters so close?"

Jiang Shan looked at her silly and cute appearance and laughed: "Weren't you just watching the video of Zhu Rong killing monsters? Don't you know that Zhu Rong was my work?"

"Ah" Shanshan blinked: "I don't know."

Grandma said, "You just came out of the stone wall. It seems that you have extraordinary strength. No wonder you are not afraid of those monsters."

But in the end, grandma's choice was to become a legal citizen.

Jiang Shan had no objection, nodded, and said to Shen Man: "Bring An Jing here later."

Then he said to grandma: "Shen Man will bring someone here later, and she will make preliminary contact with you. Don't worry, you will soon become a part of this place."

Jiang Shan did not have any extra opinions about this aquatic tribe, nor did he have any intentions on it.

Probably the only benefit for him is to gain some skill points.

Regardless of whether they choose to migrate to Koros Island and become neighbors with Jiang Shan, or become a part of this place, the plot will be completely shattered and skill points will be credited.

So their choice doesn’t matter to Jiang Shan.

[Skill Points: 1709], harvest fifty.

Back at the manor, Shen Man sighed to Jiang Shan: "First it was the goblins, then the aquatic creatures. I really don't know what strange creatures will appear in the future."

Jiang Shan laughed: "Aliens are here, so it's not surprising that gods, demons and monsters will appear."

"We are very inclusive. As long as you are not a vicious person and are willing to identify with us and become a part of us, that's fine," he said.

Shen Man smiled: "Not bad."

Then they contacted Anjing and prepared to introduce official contacts with the aquarium.
