But thinking about it, since I was there to help, this kind of situation definitely wouldn't have happened.
Lin Hu then asked, "Can I bring two people?"
"...Is it okay?" Belle suddenly seemed a little uncertain. "I'll go ask."
Belle, in a flurry of energy, plunged straight out into the waves.
Lin Hu sat in the living room and saw this scene through the floor-to-ceiling window. He did not move, but opened the light screen and spoke to Duan Linzhou and Wen Mofei.
That's right, the two people he wanted to bring were those two. Duan Linzhou was useless in the sea, but he still had two other types of abilities he could use. Moreover, Duan Linzhou was the strongest in terms of ability level and strength that he could find at the moment.
Wen Mofei goes without saying; he is a water-based ability user and one of the best water-based ability users on the island. He is also quite familiar with the island and their abilities complement each other well.
When Duan Linzhou finished his meeting and came over with Wen Mofei, Belle also returned. As Lin Hu had expected, she agreed.
"Here, these are for you." Belle took three beads and gave them to the three of them.
The three looked at the blue beads in their hands and felt they looked familiar. The next second, they realized why.
[Advanced Oxygen Beads: Allows you to swim freely in water like a fish! Note: Do not panic when using!]
The system notification was only visible to the player, so Belle only saw the three of them staring blankly at the bead in her palm.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the beads?" Belle asked, puzzled. She remembered that she had just bought them from a specialty store in the underwater city, so there shouldn't be any problems.
"It's alright, let's go." Lin Hu said, stuffing the beads into a brocade pouch and tying it around his neck.
The other two followed suit, going into the sea with Belle and swimming towards the deep ocean.
Lin Hu watched as Belle, who was leading the way, brought her legs together the moment she entered the water, and slowly solidified into a two-meter-long blue fish tail.
That's really amazing!
Lin Hu suddenly felt as if his legs were wrapped up by something, tense together, and thought it was seaweed or something.
He looked down behind him and saw a red fish tail growing below his waist.
He stopped and looked around in alarm, as did the two people behind him.
Duan Linzhou's was a black fishtail, while Wen Mofei's was white.
Lin Hu thought the color of the fish tail must be the color of the pants they had just worn.
Lin Hu was wearing his usual red sweatpants just now, so that should make sense, right?
"Why did you stop?" Belle asked, her voice muffled by the sound of the seawater as she turned back when the others hadn't followed.
Lin Hu looked at the other person in amazement. They could actually talk underwater! Could he do that too?
Lin Hu tentatively spoke, also asking about his own situation, "What's going on?"
"Isn't it amazing? I bought this from a shop in our underwater city. There are many other amazing things here. Once things are settled, I'll show you around our underwater city." Belle said as she swam around the group, feeling very comfortable. This was her world.
“Let’s go. Forget about how you humans swim with your legs. You’ll be faster with your fish tails,” Belle reminded them, leading the three of them into deeper waters once again.
The seawater gradually began to feel cold, but it was still within the range that the three of them could tolerate.
However, it might be even colder without these advanced oxygen beads.
Belle led the three to a place covered with coral, where there were many mermaids. In one spot, a giant seashell lay fused together on the sand.
"We'll leave tomorrow, let's rest first," Belle said, about to leave, when she suddenly remembered something.
"You humans sleep in beds, right?"
Lin Hu was puzzled by that seemingly random question. "Aren't you...?"
Belle explained, "No, we sleep on seashells, on coral, we have all of those, except for the kind of beds you humans have."
The main reason is that if a human bed is in the sea, it will get wet, and the sheets will irritate the skin, so it's better to sleep in a seashell.
Lin Hu understood, and suddenly became curious about how Belle slept, "Then how do you sleep?"
“I’ll sleep there.” Belle said, pointing to a huge coral not far away. Several mermaids on it saw Belle pointing at them and thought she was saying hello, so they blew a kiss and blew a perfect bubble.
"Is that your friend?" Lin Hu asked curiously. He had thought that Wen Xi was her only friend because she had seen her looking for Wen Xi so urgently.
“Yes, they’re rather timid. Don’t tell them you’re human,” Belle nodded and instructed.
“Okay, then you go find them. We’ll find a place to rest too.” Lin Hu said, glancing around. Many mermaids were resting on the coral.
The three of them found a coral reef without any mermaids to rest on. After swimming for two or three hours, it was already dark, and they were really tired.
Although there is no day or night at the bottom of the sea, their daily routine still exists, and it's time for them to eat something and rest for a while.
However, they cannot take their food out of the ocean, otherwise it will float around everywhere.
Fortunately, Belle hadn't forgotten them and sent them scallops and a strange sausage-like thing.
Lin Hu then remembered that he had made sausages and fish balls before, but they did not refuse the food that Belle brought.
After eating some scallops that Belle brought, Lin Hu felt like he was about to lose his sense of taste.
He came up with a plan: he secretly peeked out the sausages and fish balls little by little from a plastic bag and ate them.
"Awesome!" Wen Mofei gave Lin Hu a thumbs up. How come he didn't think of that?
He then began to learn from Lin Hu, except that he ate braised eggs, which didn't require this method, since they weren't oily anyway.
