No matter how noisy it gets, Jiu Jiu's shop has to open as usual.

The siren vest can no longer be covered up. Of course, influenced by Country H, people call him a "mermaid". No one has come out to correct his identity yet.

Since Jiu Jiu made a public statement on the social platform, all diners who come to the restaurant to eat have to stare at his legs intentionally or unintentionally. Their eyes are full of confusion. They are obviously human legs, how did they turn into fish tails?

Among the countless voices discussing mermaids, there are also some discussions about the environment on the second floor of the Magic Fish Shop. The diners who have just moved up to the second floor are shocked by the environment on the second floor. You cannot take photos above the second floor, but this does not stop them from describing it in words.

Obviously, they are all very excited.

The mere description makes many diners yearn for the second floor. In the past, they had to rely on luck to draw numbers, but now it is not possible. As long as they have money, they can buy more silver caviar, and sales will naturally increase, and more and more people will go to the second floor.

The sudden attack of the Cecil family has a great impact on Vera's emotions. Lu Jiu has to help her improve her cooking skills and divert her attention. He is really afraid that Vera will not be able to bear it and kill herself alone. Lu

Jiu accompanies her from morning to night. How can Vera not know that Lu Jiu is worried about her.

Vera comforted Lu Jiu in turn, saying that she had endured it for so many years, and now she is not alone. She has Lu Jiu, so she will not act impulsively.

In order to reduce Vera's hatred, Lu Jiu told Vera the truth he learned from the Elton family, hoping that she could live a little easier and not bear so much hatred.

Vera actually knew very well that her mother was almost crazy later. She hated everyone. The Cecil family and the Elton family were her targets of hatred. She hated to the point of losing her mind. At that time, Vera was already in her teens and had the ability to think.

She inherited her mother's hatred, but she was not blinded by hatred.

Suffering did not make her degenerate. On the contrary, she was positive and enthusiastic. She never lost hope in life. Now that she is back alive and sees the child she has missed for many years, she will only be more calm and careful and will not act impulsively.

Lu Jiu told Vera about the Elton family's search for relatives and mentioned that he accepted the Elton family's affairs. Lu Jiu was worried that Vera would be disappointed in him, but Vera was calmer than Lu Jiu thought.

Lu Jiu had not experienced Vera's suffering and could not let her forgive the Elton family. If Vera wanted him to stay away from the Elton family, Lu Jiu would also consider it. After all, compared with the Elton family, he was closer to his mother.

Vera said, "It doesn't matter. You can contact them. With the Elton family, we have roots."

After a pause, Vera sighed, "It's hard for them to think of me wandering around for so many years."

Lu Jiu said, "Don't worry, I will solve the Cecil family sooner or later. As long as they exist, we, the Sirens, will not be safe."

Vera smiled, "Of course I believe in my son."

It was already late, Lu Jiu and Vera were still in the store, and Si Xu came to the store to look for someone.

"The Cecil family has made a condition."

Lu Jiu and Vera raised their eyes and looked at him at the same time.

Lu Jiu: "What conditions?"

Si Xu snorted and laughed, "I'm willing to give one magic crystal marrow in exchange for them."

Lu Jiu raised his hand and pressed the knife on the chopping board, "You wish. Without five magic crystal marrows, don't even think about getting them back!"

Vera pondered, "Will you let them go if I have five magic crystal marrows?"

Lu Jiu sneered, "Of course we can't let them go so easily."

Vera said, "Not everyone in the Cecil family can turn into a mutant Heijia. After all, there are only a few Heijia with the ability to transform. Last time, there were more than a dozen Heijia and sirens who died in the explosion. If they lose a dozen more this time, the Cecil family will definitely be seriously injured. Even if they still have people available, there won't be many left."

Lu Jiu and Si Xu looked at each other and both felt that the system's proposal might be a good idea.

This kind of bickering is something that Lu Jiu is not very good at, so he has to let Si Xu negotiate. It would be a good thing if he could dig out more magic crystal marrows.

It is worth mentioning that among the three magic crystal marrows provided by Country F, one was jointly funded by Country H and Country M.

The reason is very simple. Country F cannot provide these magic crystal marrows. If it wants to solve the problem, it can only ask Country H and Country M to help together. The medicines obtained in exchange will also be used by their ability users. Unless the two countries give up these ability users, they will have to help Country F through the difficulties.

Obviously, it is not easy to cultivate ability users in various countries, and they are reluctant to give up. In this case, they can only support with magic crystal marrows. Only they themselves know how to discuss it.

Negotiations with the Cecil family were not as open as with Country F. They all knew that the Cecil family had plenty of magic crystals and were in the right. Even if Si Xu and Lu Jiu found an excuse to kill those people, the Cecil family would have to take this loss. So Si Xu offered a price of five magic crystals and refused to bargain. He would not trade them.

The Cecil family and Country M had tried every possible way. Si Xu and Lu Jiu were not in a hurry, but the Cecil family was. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the mutant Haijia. So after a week of wrangling, the Cecil family could only agree to Si Xu's conditions.

The exchange site was set at sea. Si Xu did not allow anyone else to participate. Only he and Lu Jiu went to exchange the hostages. If something happened, they would be able to deal with it.

Those dozen mutant Haiga were just paper tigers with their teeth pulled out. They were so hidden under the advanced gene weakener that they probably didn't even know what they had eaten.

They still maintained the form of mutant Haiga, but their internal Haiga genes had been weakened and disappeared. It was only this time. After they recovered as adults, they could forget about turning into mutant Haiga again.

The only thing that Lu Jiu and Si Xu had to be wary of was the mutant Haiga sent by the Cecil family again. However, Lu Jiu was looking forward to it. The more people came, the more people Lu Jiu could eliminate, and the strength of the Cecil family would be weakened.

Lu Jiu and Si Xu went out to sea by boat. A dozen mutant Haiga were locked in a water prison and dragged on the sea.

When they arrived at the exchange point, the two ships were far away from each other.

This scene seemed familiar, and the people who came over to exchange hostages were also old acquaintances.

Hailier greeted them with a smile, "Lu Jiu, how are you? Does your tail still hurt?"

Lu Jiu knew very well the psychopathic nature of this man. It was the same last time. He would talk to you with a smile on one side, but he could kill you on the other side.

Lu Jiu already knew the identity of this man through the Elton family. Hailier was the youngest son that Van Luns loved the most. He had the strongest ancient clan genes. If nothing unexpected happened, Van Luns would pass the position of the head of the family to Hailier.

Lu Jiu's eyes flashed. It would be a great deal if he could catch this psychopath and destroy his Haijia clan genes.

As soon as Lu Jiu rolled his eyes, Si Xu knew what he was thinking.

Si Xu said, "Where are the things?"

Hailier beckoned, and someone brought an antique wooden box. Hailier lazily hooked the buckle and opened the box to let Lu Jiu and Si Xu see. Five magic crystal essences were neatly placed inside.

Hailier closed the wooden box to block the radiation, raised his chin, and said, "I'm going to send someone to check the hostages."

Lu Jiu: "Please hurry up."

Hailier stared at Lu Jiu and laughed recklessly.

A middle-aged man carrying an inspection box came out. He was dressed very gentlemanly and stared at Lu Jiu for a long time before speaking.

"Please release the people, or I will go to your place to help check them."

Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Then come over here."

Lu Jiu shrunk the water dungeon and lifted the mutant sea maggot onto the deck.

The middle-aged man looked like an ordinary person. He rowed a small boat close to Lu Jiu's boat, climbed up staggeringly, opened the box, took out an unknown instrument and checked a mutant sea maggot. The

mutant sea maggot had been locked up for many days. Although they were not tortured, it was more painful than being tortured. The scales on their bodies became dry and curled due to long-term lack of water. The pain and itchiness were unbearable. They were all delighted to be back in the water dungeon.

Lu Jiu and Si Xu stood by and let him check. They all believed that this man would not find any problems.

This was indeed the case. After checking every mutant sea urchin, the middle-aged man found nothing abnormal, and then nodded to Hailier.

Hailier kept smiling, "Let them go."

Lu Jiu removed the water prison, and more than a dozen mutant sea urchins quickly jumped into the sea. Si Xu reached out and grabbed the wooden box containing the magic crystal marrow.

At the same time, Hailier's men appeared with heavy weapons and fired at Lu Jiu's ship!

Si Xu stretched out his hand to block, and all the flying shells fell on both sides of the ship, exploding into a sky full of water mist. The water mist condensed into a water dragon in the air and bit Hailier who was standing on the bow!

With a smile on his face, Hailier stabbed a needle into his neck. He transformed at the moment the water dragon bit him. He raised his hands and a water curtain rushed up to the sky to block the biting water dragon.

Several water belts appeared above the sea again and went towards Hailier. Three people behind Hailier stabbed themselves with needles and transformed into mutants of Haiga. They jumped into the sea and wanted to attack from the bottom of the sea.

However, Lu Jiu and Si Xu did not give them any chance. Si Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed Hailier who was about to enter the sea, but was captured in the air. He had no choice but to raise the waves to block Si Xu's ability, and Hailier entered the sea smoothly.

When Lu Jiu saw that they still had four mutants of Haiga, his eyes lit up. It would be a waste not to accept the food that was delivered to the door.

Lu Jiu could more or less guess Heilil's purpose. There were already more than a dozen mutant sea monsters, and with the four of them, they were almost the strongest force. They wanted to take him and Si Xu down here, but unfortunately they underestimated his strength and overestimated the abilities of the dozen mutant sea monsters.

After the mutant sea monsters had eaten the advanced gene weakener, they could only maintain the state of the mutant sea monsters, but could not use the abilities from the sea monster genes. Even if they could breathe at the bottom of the sea, they could not control the water.

Heilil's plan was bound to fail, but Lu Jiu's plan had a chance to come true.

Lu Jiu did not want to go into the sea unless it was absolutely necessary. Although the human form was not as strong as the siren form, it was enough for him and Si Xu to deal with four people together.

Si Xu had already jumped off the boat and stood on the sea. He pressed both of his hands on the sea and quickly locked onto the four people of Hailier. He used his power to lock them and suddenly lifted them up. Just like catching the stone skeleton fish, the four people hiding on the seabed were thrown directly into the air!

Si Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed them. The four mutated Haijia immediately turned around and fell towards the deck of Lu Jiu.

The four people did not give up fighting back in the air. Water dragons rushed out of the sea and swept towards Si Xu and Lu Jiu...

Four huge water shackles suddenly appeared in the air. The shackles were put on the four people with a click. The four people suddenly felt that their bodies weighed thousands of pounds. The water dragons broke into waterfalls and fell into the sea. If it were not for Si Xu's ability to control them, they would definitely fall back into the sea. Their whole bodies were pressed and they could not move. They could only fall on the deck.

It was not until then that Hailier realized that something was wrong. Lu Jiu was much stronger than the last time they fought. How could one person's strength increase so much in such a short time? !

Without waiting for Hailier to ask, Lu Jiu held a huge water hammer in his hand and hit each person with a hammer, knocking them all out.

Si Xu jumped onto the boat and together with Lu Jiu, stuffed medicine into the mouths of the four people. After making sure that they had all swallowed it, they threw the four people into the sea and sailed back.

Hailier's boat was still on the sea, and the people on the boat dared not stop them. They jumped into the sea one after another to pick up the four people who were knocked unconscious.

Lu Jiu walked a long way away and was still observing the situation over there with a telescope. All the mutant Haiga had climbed onto the boat, and they were injecting drugs that would turn them into humans.

Lu Jiu sighed, "This is the last time, cherish it."

Si Xu left the boat, and Lu Jiu couldn't wait to find him. Si Xu handed him the wooden box containing the magic crystal marrow.

The five magic crystal marrows were all real. Although they had all been used, it was better than nothing. There must be a lot of energy left in the five crystals.

Lu Jiu handed all the magic crystal marrows to the energy collection system and let it convert them into magic points. This time it must be enough to buy Si Xu an advanced gene enhancer... No, no, no, he still had to see his luck. He hadn't drawn his blind box yet. What if he could draw it from the blind box? Wouldn't the magic points be saved?

He was bored on the way back, so he used it to draw blind boxes.

Lu Jiu: "Give me 5 lucky numbers, I want to draw a blind box."

Si Xu glanced at him with a smile in his eyes, "3, 5, 7, 7, 4."

Lu Jiu did not go out, but drew a blind box in the driver's seat.

The first draw, 3.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the intermediate Demon Hunter Chef God skill.]

Lu Jiu: "..."

Should he be happy or unhappy?

Although the intermediate Demon Hunter Chef God skill is also very good, it is not what Lu Jiu needs most.

The second draw, 5.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a magic spear production blueprint.]

Lu Jiu: "..."

These are not what he wants ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!

The third draw, 7.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a few energy stones.]

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu: “…”

Si Xu turned around and saw Lu Jiu sitting on the ground with his legs kicked up, looking mad and hopeless.

Si Xu couldn't help laughing out loud, "What's wrong? Is the thing you drew very bad?"

Lu Jiu cried, "It's not that it's bad, it's just that it's not what I want."

Lu Jiu lay down with a big letter shape, his eyes dull, "There are only two times left, I won't draw anymore, you can come by yourself after we go back, your lucky numbers can't stop me, it's so desperate."

Si Xu thought it was funny, "What do you want?"

Lu Jiu got up quickly, "Advanced gene enhancer! Advanced gene enhancer worth 1 million magic points! If we can draw it, we will make a fortune!"

Si Xu's expression was complicated, "Don't think about it, the possibility of drawing it is almost zero."

Lu Jiu: "Not even you?"

Si Xu: "No one."

Don't you see what the meaning of the existence of the system is.
