Mermaid Town
Mermaid Hotel.
Players who had slept for the entire morning woke up with a pang in their hearts and immediately realized that there was something wrong with the food.
Soon after waking up, everyone learned from the barrage that Gu Lin went to the hospital. Not only did he go to the hospital, but he was also watching fish with the mermaid mayor and had lunch in the hospital at noon.
Suddenly everyone: “…………”
All the players had eaten the meal, so why was everyone asleep while the cub went to the hospital?
Although the cub is small, it eats as much as they do. In fact, it eats more than them. There is no reason why the cub would not be affected while the adults sleep for the whole morning.
The only reasonable explanation is that the cub was taken away by the mermaid while it was sleeping.
The aunt only said that Gu Lin went to the hospital to see the fish, and did not go into detail. The player did not know how Gu Lin went to the hospital.
However, they also confirmed that Gu Lin was safe, so there was nothing to worry about.
What we should worry about most right now is how to complete the mission.
After eating, not only will I fall asleep, but I will also dream about ugly mermaids in the fog. This shows that more than just sleeping pills were added, there must be other drugs involved.
But no one knows what was added, and this is the most terrifying thing.
After all the players woke up, they decided to go to the front desk lady to get the tears.
There is a ready-made mermaid right in front of you, so there is no need to look far away.
The receptionist was still standing at the front desk on the first floor, with a weird and exaggerated smile on her face.
Going down to the first floor, except for the big guy with a double hat, all the other players exchanged an onion from the system mall and started to surround the young lady and peel the onion with their bare hands.
Tear-jerking, onions are undoubtedly a good and cheap prop.
The guy in the double-layered hat leaned lazily against the wall next to him, with an ambiguous smile on his lips, watching several people peeling onions.
"?"
Looking at the customers surrounding her peeling onions, the young lady was speechless.
But the guests also have the right to peel the onion, and it can't say anything.
The pungent smell of onions rushed straight into the nose and eyes. The player burst into tears first, and the front desk lady lived up to everyone's expectations. Her eyes began to turn sour and red, and tears flowed down her cheeks.
She still maintained a professional smile on her face, but her tears flowed like water and she couldn't stop them.
Just then, Yu Qing and Yu Rong walked into the hotel and took the guests to the cafeteria for lunch.
The lady at the front desk smiled while crying. She no longer looked scary, but funny. She said dutifully, "Welcome... to... the... mermaid... hotel..."
All the players were dumbfounded, and no one could laugh.
The tears of the girl at the front desk flowed like beads that had broken off the string, but when the tears fell, they were still tears and did not turn into pearls.
The double-hatted snorted softly and yawned lazily.
Other players: “…”
No wonder the boss didn’t get involved. Could it be that he saw through the fact that mermaid’s tears could not turn into pearls?
*
The players soon figured it out.
The town is full of mermaids. If you catch one at random, there are hundreds of ways to make them cry. However, the system has given three days. Will it give such a simple task?
Sure enough, the tears of these mermaids with split tails cannot turn into pearls.
But the system task is to obtain pearls transformed from mermaid's tears, which means that mermaid's tears can definitely turn into pearls. If not, what is the problem?
It can only be the mermaid.
I'm afraid these cheating mermaids aren't real mermaids.
If not mermen, then what are they?
In other words, what do they resemble besides fish?
Thinking of a certain possibility, the faces of the players all became extremely ugly.
It was not until this moment that they understood why the mermaid mayor, along with four NPCs and a dog, had been going to "unload goods" from the very beginning, and everyone had been looking at them as if they were "cargo".
The town provides free food and lodging, what good intentions can it have?
Now the answer is clear.
They players only have themselves, and what value can they have?
For example...becoming an artificial fish?
If the mermaid's tears cannot turn into pearls, then they only have one way to pass the level, which is to survive here for three days.
But seeing that the townspeople treated them as lambs to be slaughtered, the tattooed man still led the pit bull and stayed outside the hotel without leaving.
Let alone three days, it would be good enough if I could survive today safely and not be caught and transformed into a mermaid.

The players followed Yu Qing and Yu Rong to the cafeteria.
No one knew how much drugs were added to the food in the cafeteria, so they didn't go there to eat, but to see if they could find other clues.
Song Ran frowned: "Do you feel that something is missing?"
As he said this, he realized it first, "Oh, that little devil is missing."
Other players: “…”
Without Gu Lin's presence, everyone realized how strong the little cub's presence was.
Lin Xingchi sighed.
Su Qiao also sighed.
Now that Tuanzi is not around, they all miss him a little.
However, the mermaid mayor looked kind and benevolent towards Gu Lin, and the good aunts of Zizi also told him not to worry, as they were not worried as they had ensured Gu Lin's safety.
The ten food windows in the cafeteria were still occupied by the ten aunties. When they saw the players appear at the cafeteria door but didn't see the cub, the weird and exaggerated smiles on their faces collapsed a little.
Knowing that there was something wrong with the food, the players decided not to eat. However, they saw that the double-hatted boss actually went to get food and ate it as if nothing had happened.
“…”
The players' stomachs growled and they couldn't help swallowing as they smelled the delicious aroma of food wafting from the cafeteria.
Li Nan plucked up the courage to ask the double-hatted boss: "Aren't there drugs added to the food?"
The guy in the double-layered hat still exudes a half-dead temperament, and the word "perfunctory" is written all over his body, giving people the feeling that he is just going through the motions.
He lifted his eyelids lightly: "Without taking some sleeping pills, are you sure you can sleep at night?"
Others: “…”
Okay, that seems to make sense.
Immediately, other players also picked up their plates and went to get their meals.
Anyway, I've already eaten breakfast. Apart from falling asleep and dreaming about mermaids in the fog, there don't seem to be any other side effects?
The most important thing is that there are still two and a half days left, and it is impossible to go without eating.
With the experience from last time, Li Nan called out "Beautiful sister" in every window and got more meat than other players.
Without the little dumpling, Li Nan's plate had the most food.

After dinner, Mayor Mermaid personally sent Gu Lin back to the hotel.
Zhuang Mu did not pack up the unfinished food for Gu Lin. By the evening, the food was cold and could not be heated up in the hotel, so it was impossible to eat it even if he packed it up and took it back.
However, he brought the fruits that the townspeople gave to Gu Lin.
Gu Lin has been out long enough, it's time to go back, but he doesn't want to leave.
There is nothing fun to do in the hotel.
Gu Lin reluctantly said, "When can I ride again... and play with Brother Zhuang Mu, the mayor, and Uncle Doctor again."
Mermaid Mayor: “…”
Zhuang Mu: “…”
Forget about the two of them, there is no need to bring Yu Youmian along as well.
Both of them pretended not to hear that Gu Lin just wanted to ride a scooter.
Mayor Mermaid still has a lot of things to deal with, so he probably won't have time to take care of his grandson next.
Zhuang Mu smiled and said gently: "If nothing unexpected happens, I can take you out to play tomorrow."
Gu Lin: "Then Brother Zhuang Mu must come to pick up the baby."
Zhuang Mu: "Yes."
When I went down to the first floor, I saw several white cars parked in front of the hospital, similar to ambulances, and many medical staff gathered around the cars.
Yu Youmian was there too. He stood on the steps in front of the hospital, watching the medical staff busying in and out.
The medical staff carried out stretchers from the car, and on the stretchers lay people... No, not people, but mermaids.
But not like a mermaid.
They also have two fish tails, but they are different from the split-leg mermaids that move freely on the streets.
That is, the fish tail looks relatively "new".
Even the color is lighter and tenderer, just like...
Gu Lin pointed with her little hand and said, "Silkworm baby."
Yu Youmian: “…”
Mermaid Mayor: “…”
Zhuang Mu: “…”
Yes, Gu Lin’s description was very accurate. The tails of these mermaids were light white, just like silkworms, two long, soft and tender strips that looked very fragile.
Even the light green liquid slowly flowing in the tail can be seen clearly.
Yu Youmian glanced at the cub whose belly was bulging with anger, and said calmly, "A guest at the Mermaid Inn has hatched a fish tail. You can take him back in the car."
Gu Lin waved his little hand: "Goodbye, uncle doctor."
Yu Youmian was slightly startled, and his eyes seemed to soften a little: "Goodbye."

The mayor took Gu Lin and got on the mermaid ambulance.
The mermaid town is not very big. About ten minutes later, the mermaid ambulance slowly stopped in front of the mermaid hotel.
At this time, in the lobby on the first floor of the Mermaid Hotel, all the players gathered here.
They all looked at Li Nan who had fallen to the ground in horror.
After finishing his meal and just returning to the hotel, Li Nan suddenly screamed and collapsed to the ground. His two intact legs suddenly turned into two fish tails.
The others didn't see how it happened. When they heard the scream and looked towards Li Nan, Li Nan's legs had already turned into a fish tail.
But this kind of fish tail is different from those of cheating mermaids. It looks soft and white, consisting of two long strips.
It looks like a fish tail, but it is more like a soft white worm, and you can see green liquid flowing slowly under the skin.
All the players got goosebumps.
What the hell is this? !
How could a good leg suddenly turn into something like this?
They immediately thought of the medicine added to the food!
All the players ate the food in the cafeteria, which made everyone feel bad.
Lin Xingchi was most afraid of insects. After just one look, his sanity value dropped drastically, and he dared not look any longer.
Li Nan's legs turned into a fish tail and he could no longer walk and could only lie on the ground.
He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he almost fainted: "My legs, my legs..."
At this moment, the long-lost baby voice sounded at the door of the hotel:
"How come Uncle Li Nan's legs also turned into silkworms?"
Silkworms?
Damn, this description is perfect!
All the players froze, and immediately, including the double-hatted boss, all looked towards the door.
