Chapter 66: Quickly Transmigrate to the Sea King and Strike Back the Sea God Poseidon (Part 3)
I got up from the bed and looked around. This room, which was transformed from a giant shell and decorated with colorful corals and seaweed, was as dreamy as a fairy tale world.
However, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it cannot hide the sadness in my heart.
The white-robed man in the Angel Temple said, "System, go to the Mermaid World to see Feng Ziang. After all, the underwater world is not safe."
"receive"
I walked over to the desk and opened a book about the history of underwater cities. The pages were made of a special kind of seaweed and had a light salty smell.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to focus.
Suddenly, a blinding bright light appeared in my room. I had no choice but to block the light in front of me with my hands and shouted, "Ah! Who are you?"
"It's me, Ziang."
Bai Guang took out a big hammer and hit me with it. I felt dizzy. When I woke up, I remembered that I was the messenger of God Feng Ziang.
"Zi'ang, you can always come to me if you encounter any problems." The white light suddenly dissipated again.
I picked up a history book and it said that this underwater city was built by a group of highly intelligent mermaids.
They mastered advanced technology and created this dreamlike world like a crystal palace. However, after a long period of environmental degradation, the land is no longer suitable for human habitation. The king of each generation is called Poseidon to commemorate the first mermaid king.
I turned the pages, page after page, greedily absorbing every word. I felt as if I had opened a door to a whole new world and saw the dawn of hope.
I want to learn their language, understand their culture, and master their technology, so that I can find my own place in this strange world!
In the next few days, I was like a dry sponge, absorbing all kinds of knowledge crazily. I learned the language of the underwater city, learned how to operate those strange machines, and learned the habits and characteristics of underwater creatures.
At the same time, I also roughly understood that my current identity is a mermaid in the sea. Lin Xiao is my sister and Zhang Yu is my brother. Currently, the three of us live together. The resources in the seabed are not as rich as those in the human world. It can be said that there is nothing. In short, it is much poorer than the world on land.
Lin Xiao and Zhang Yu were also inspired by the study during these few days. They helped me collect information and answered my questions. In fact, they wanted me to restore my memory and encourage me to persevere.
"Brother, you are amazing! You have learned so many things so quickly."
My sister looked at me skillfully operating the underwater scooter and said with admiration.
"Yes, Ziang, you are just like a sponge in the sea. The speed at which you absorb knowledge is amazing!" Zhang Yu also said with a smile.
I smiled, but secretly said in my heart: This is just the beginning, I still have a lot to learn.
One night, while reading a book about underwater urban energy systems, I came across a strange drawing.
The drawing showed a device I had never seen before, and there were some words I couldn't understand next to it.
I felt a little moved, and I had a vague feeling that this drawing might hide some secrets. I decided to go to the library tomorrow to look up information, hoping to solve this mystery.
This discovery was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples in my heart.
The next morning, I could not wait to go to the central library of the underwater city. This library looks like a huge pearl and contains countless precious books and materials.
Following the vague markings on the drawing, I found the area related to the energy system.
Rows of tall bookshelves reached up to the dome, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. I took a deep breath, calmed my excitement, and began to shuttle between the bookshelves, looking for any information related to the drawings.
Time passed by, I read a lot of books and drawings, but I didn't find any valuable clues. Just when I was about to give up, a thick ancient book with a yellowed cover caught my attention.
I carefully took the ancient book off the shelf and blew away the dust on the cover. A faint moldy smell came to my nose. There was no text on the cover of the book, only some strange symbols. I vaguely felt that these symbols seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen them.
I opened the ancient book and I could actually recognize the words inside. It seemed like some kind of ancient mermaid language, and the content was about the underwater city energy system.
I read carefully page by page, my heartbeat gradually speeding up. The book states that the energy of the underwater city does not come entirely from geothermal heat and tides, but also from a mysterious source of energy, and the source of this energy is exactly the device drawn on the paper.
My intuition told me that the underwater world was so magical that it overturned my entire perception of underwater cities.
Just as I was about to continue reading, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang in my ears: "Hey, isn't this our Feng Ziang? Why are you running to the library instead of staying in your shell house?"
I raised my head suddenly and saw Du Yue standing in front of me with a sarcastic smile on her face.
She was wearing a light blue fishtail skirt today, which set off her exquisite figure even more perfectly.
But what she said was very disgusting. I don’t understand why she hates me so much and targets me. I don’t even know her and I’ve only been in the mermaid world for a few days.
"I...I just came to read a book." I said a little unnaturally.
"Reading? Do you understand it?"
Du Yue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't waste your energy. These are all the literature of our mermaid tribe. You are a person who usually doesn't like to study, but you are pretending to be serious about it."
As she spoke, she reached out to snatch the ancient book from my hand. I subconsciously held the book in my arms and looked at her warily.
"What do you want to do? Why do you always pick on me?"
Du Yue glanced at me with contempt, but in the end she didn't bother me anymore and left the library with a twisted back. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I felt even more uneasy. I had to find out about that drawing and that secret!
After leaving the library, I rushed to "Aquamarine Star" without stopping.
This is the largest underwater factory in the underwater city. I will start my first job here today. In the mermaid world, you also need to work to earn your own food.
At the age of thirteen, the mermaid had to leave home to live alone. The responsibility of raising her was the Mermaid King's, and her parents were only responsible for taking care of her. That's why Poseidon came to see me, the little mermaid, that time.
As a newcomer, I still hoped to gain recognition through my hard work and integrate into this strange world as soon as possible. However, the reality is far more cruel than I imagined.
"Are you new here? What's your name?" A burly, fleshy-faced merman looked me up and down with an unfriendly tone. His name is Zhao Lei, and he is the workshop supervisor of the factory, responsible for assigning work tasks.
"My name is Feng Ziang." I answered in a low voice, trying hard to suppress my inner uneasiness.
"Feng Ziang? The mermaid who got dizzy after hitting her head on the seabed?" Zhao Lei sneered, "Okay, you can follow Sun Xiang to work."
It is extremely embarrassing for a mermaid who is good at swimming to hit a rock in the sea.
A tall and thin merman next to him waved his hand impatiently, motioning me to go over. Sun Xiang is Zhao Lei's deputy, and he always has a fake smile on his face, which makes many mermen uncomfortable.
I followed Sun Xiang to an empty factory area filled with all kinds of parts and tools.
"Your job is to sort these parts and send them to the designated place." Sun Xiang pointed at the pile of parts and said casually, "It's simple, right?"
I nodded, but secretly groaned in my heart. These parts were of different shapes and sizes, and they also exuded a pungent sea odor, which made people dizzy just looking at them.
I took a deep breath and started to work hard. As time passed, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead and my hands began to ache.
Zhao Lei and Sun Xiang passed by me from time to time. They watched my clumsy movements coldly, with ridicule and disdain on their faces.
"Feng Ziang, can you do this? This speed is too slow, isn't it?" Zhao Lei said in a sinister tone, "This is not a charity organization. If you can't do the job, get out as soon as possible!"
I gritted my teeth, said nothing, and worked even harder. I told myself that I couldn't give up, I had to prove myself!
However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on me...
My butt hurts now, probably because of hemorrhoids. I endure the discomfort and try to distinguish the parts of different shapes. But maybe I am too nervous, my hands and feet seem to have lost their former flexibility, clumsy like a rusty machine.
If you are not careful, the parts in your hand will fall to the ground with a "clang", making a harsh sound.
