For a moment, Li Yu thought he was hallucinating.

He waited and waited, but he didn't seem to turn back into a human.

Not only did he not change, but a strange system appeared, which seemed to be called... the cute pet system?

When Li Yu thought of this name, his eyes suddenly lit up, and two lines of large golden characters appeared out of thin air.

The system voice that just prompted him said, "Host, please choose the main task or the side task."

Li Yu blinked, and he seemed to have accidentally entered a system.

This system called him the host, which should be his golden finger. It turned out that he didn't turn into a fish in vain. Although he is still a fish and can't turn back into a human, but with the golden finger, maybe if he follows the system prompts, he can find a way to turn back into a human?

I remember the previous prompt was that he had completed the first step of a main task...

Li Yu habitually imagined that he would click on the line of words "main task" just like clicking on a touch screen. However, this action, which is very common for humans, is not easy for fish because the fins are too short to reach it.

Li Yu was a little anxious flapping his fins, thinking that he would be able to click it. Suddenly, the main task flashed twice by itself and unfolded many lines of words.

Li Yu: I understand, this system does not require any manual work, you can operate it with your mind.

The lines of words under the main task, except for the top line which is bright, the rest are dark, which should correspond to the various main tasks.

Li Yu was eager to turn back into a human, and took a quick look at the title of each main task. They were all about fish, not people.

In addition to the "Millions of Fish Pets of the Tyrant" that he had heard of, there are also "Tyrant fish raising to revitalize the family", "Postpartum care of fish", and so on, each one seems more confusing than the other. The

one that lights up at the top is "Millions of Fish Pets", and you can click on it to view it. Other tasks are not available for the time being.

Li Yu had no choice but to click on it listlessly. "Millions of Fish Pets of the Tyrant" immediately popped up the task description and task progress.

He read the description first, which was also very simple. It was to become a pet fish that the tyrant liked. Although it was a bit title-oriented, it was quite in line with the name of the cute pet system.

Wait, he seemed to have missed something?

It seemed that the title of the tyrant appeared in many places, but he still didn't know who the tyrant was.

The system seemed to sense his confusion, and a transparent three-dimensional frame with rose petals floating on it popped up. In the frame was the handsome face of King Jing, who was hated by everyone. It turned

out that King Jing was a tyrant.

Li Yu grinned. Because he met King Jing, was his "first acquaintance with the tyrant" completed?

Then again, this King Jing just looked cold and didn't like to talk, so why should he be called a tyrant by the system?

The system didn't respond this time, and the handsome face of King Jing remained unchanged in the frame.

This... does it mean that he wants him to click further?

Li Yu thought about it, and poked King Jing's cheek from a distance with the tip of his tail.

This time the system gave some other prompts.

The flying rose petals automatically formed a description of King Jing. King Jing's name was Mu Tianchi, the fifth prince of the Emperor of Great Chu, who was born mute and could not speak.

Li Yu: "..."

So King Jing's name is - Mu Tianchi? ?

Li Yu was shocked. No wonder he felt familiar with the title of King Jing the first time he heard it. No wonder King Jing was too quiet compared to Wang Xi and Xiao Linzi. It was just that he was only thinking about escaping at that time and failed to react in time. Now he finally knew what pit he fell into!

He was so familiar with the name Mu Tianchi. He was the hero in an online article "The Tyrant and the Little Concubine" that he stayed up late to read because he was bored. He was a cold and sinister tyrant who would kill people's entire clan at any time when he was unhappy, but he was a bit pitiful because he was born dumb.

He brought the system into the book!

Don't ask a tyrant novel why he was transmigrated into a fish, and don't ask a tyrant novel why he was given a cute pet system and all the tasks he had to do were fish. The question is -

"You've been transmigrated anyway, just accept your fate. I heard that raising pets can make people more loving. The meaning of your existence is to make the tyrant male protagonist change his nature." The system slowly pushed a system voice.

Li Yu: "..."

He knew that this system had bad intentions!

He didn't want to do these weird tasks at all. If he didn't do them, could they force him?

The system immediately said: "The cute pet system cannot force the host, but if the host fails to complete the task, he will never be able to become a human in his lifetime."

Li Yu: What? ! Can't you be transmigrated back after death?

"No." The system was very sure, "If you can't turn into a human, you can only have the life of a fish, and finally turn into fish bones and fish ash."

Li Yu: ... What if you give up the mission?

System: "Immediately turn into fish bones and fish ash."

Li Yu was about to swear, isn't this just a disguised coercion?

The system emphasized again: "The cute pet system will not force the host..."

Li Yu: Don't repeat the same thing over and over again, okay!

Li Yu didn't want to turn into fish bones and fish ash, and he still had no interest in the tyrant's change of character. He just wanted to know, what should he do to turn back into a human?

System: "When the main mission reaches a certain level, there will be a step to turn back into a human."

Li Yu: That's more like it... Well, it's just a main mission, just do it.

Although he pretended not to care, he actually knew very well that he would never risk his life. There is something very true about the cute pet system. Since he has already crossed over, he should believe that this system is the golden finger that comes with his book. Since it can appear in his spiritual world, he should believe it.

Since he has decided to do the task, Li Yu began to calm down and seriously study the "Millions of Fish Pets" task he is currently doing.

This task is divided into several steps. The first step "First acquaintance with the tyrant" has been completed. The second step "Interaction with the tyrant" is on, but it is gone. It seems that the next step will not be displayed until the second step is completed.

... This stingy system does not even give him a detailed hint. How to interact with the tyrant?

King Jing is a king, and he is just a fish in the kitchen. What is the relationship between the two? Li Yu was a little worried. Should he make himself into fish soup or braised fish, put it on a plate and give it to King Jing?

System: "Think about it, use your heart."

Li Yu: "..."

This stupid system, why does it feel like it's mocking him!

Li Yu couldn't figure out anything from the weird main quest, his eyes rolled, and he thought of looking at the side quests.

The so-called side quests mean that you can do them or not. People who have played online games know that side quests are generally not too difficult and can also have rich rewards. The main quest is so weird, maybe he can try to find clues from the side quests.

Li Yu chose to check the side quests and found that the names of the quests under the side quests were all dark, which means that it is not yet time to do these quests.

For example, one of the side quests is -

"Become a koi carp."

This quest looks pretty good. Since you have to be a fish for the time being, being a koi carp is better than being an ordinary ingredient carp, right?

Even a fool knows that koi has super good luck, so why can't this kind of mission be done?

System: "All side missions have prerequisites, and they can only be carried out after the prerequisites are triggered."

Li Yu: What conditions are required for the koi mission?

System: "Complete the main quest - a million pet fishes."

Li Yu: ... Shit!! Can't get around the stalk of being a pet fish!!

System: "That's right."

Li Yu thought, he is obviously a man, but he has to be another man's pet fish, and this man has a bad temper and can't speak, isn't it too difficult? I

don't know what the reward is for completing the mission. If the reward is not good, wouldn't he be at a loss?

Li Yu: Then after completing a million pet fishes, there will be some rewards - there should be, right?

System: "Yes. You have completed the first step. The power of the fish tail has been strengthened. Please use it with caution. The reward for completing the second step is a portable space for storage. Other rewards will be announced as the mission is updated."

Li Yu's eyes lit up. He couldn't understand the use of the strengthened fish tail for a while, but the portable space was good. He could put things. It was not convenient for him as a fish. He had to overcome his shame and do the mission!

Thinking of this, the system reminded him to quit.

...

Li Yu woke up, opened his eyes, and found that he was lying in a blue and white porcelain tank filled with water.

It turned out that the conversation with the system was in his spiritual world, which could not be seen from the outside. In fact, he was bitten by a big white cat and had been out of water for too long. He had fainted for an hour.

Pain surged through his body. The bite from the big white cat had not yet healed. Li Yu looked at the surroundings in confusion.

He remembered that before he lost consciousness, he almost broke his tail, but no one paid attention to his call for help. He should still be lying on the floor tiles at this moment. How did he change his place?

In any case, if he was injured, he had to recover. He also had to find out where he was. He had to find King Jing as soon as possible to complete the interaction.

After Li Yu figured it out, he carefully looked at the world in the tank.

This blue-and-white porcelain jar was much better than the dark fish basket he had been in when he first came here. It didn't smell like cooking fumes, and it was bright and ventilated. However, the mouth of the jar was a little high for him. When he looked up, he could only see a ceiling above his head. Although it was small, he could tell that it was a house with carved beams and painted buildings. It was obvious that he was now in a wealthy place.

The water in the jar was very clear. It seemed that there was only one fish in it. Next to him, there were a few green water plants, swaying gently with the waves.

Under him, there was a piece of snow-white stone. Li Yu studied these stones. Each one was round and had its edges and corners polished away. It was not uncomfortable for fish to lie on it. It was a good place to recuperate.

Li Yu tried to pull a leaf of water grass down, but after a long time of thinking, it was not easy to hold the water grass with both fins, not to mention using the fins as hands to tear it, and it was not very powerful.

Suddenly, he remembered what the system said, that it had strengthened the tail power for him, maybe he could try using the tail?

Li Yu swung his tail at the water grass without much hope.

Hiss! It hurts so much! !

The wound was agitated, and Li Yu grimaced in pain, regretting his recklessness.

After the tail swung, there was no change, and Li Yu thought the system was deceiving him. At this moment, a green leaf of water grass slowly fell down and rested on his head.

Li Yu looked at his tail excitedly, and tried to hold the broken leaf of water grass with his mouth and pull it down, covering most of the fish body, and lying on the white stone bed.

To recover from an injury, he needs to be covered with a quilt. Let him rest for a while and relax his mind. When he feels better, he will go to find King Jing.

He didn't know how long he slept, but he heard a slight "creak" sound.

Li Yu knew that it was the sound of a door opening, and someone must have entered the room where he was.

The person who came in was the one who saved him and put him in the celadon jar.

There was water, water plants, and rounded stones in the celadon jar, which looked like a fish tank. To make such an arrangement, it is most likely that he was not going to eat him, but to keep him.

Who could this person be?

The leisurely footsteps gradually approached, and Li Yu inexplicably felt a little expectant.

He raised his head slightly and waited for a while. Not long after, a handsome face appeared above the fish tank.

Li Yu:! ! !

Oh my god, this guy - isn't he his mission target, King Jing Mu Tianchi? ?

... So, it was King Jing who saved him?

Li Yu was surprised and happy. This is really a piece of cake! Originally,

he had always been a little reluctant to be a pet fish in his heart, but facing his savior and mission target, he could endure it!

A qualified pet fish...what should it do?

Please the owner and make the owner happy!

Li Yu shook his head against the water grass quilt and spit out a small transparent bubble to King Jing in a flattering manner.

I'm such a cute fish, please don't chop my head off, okay?

The author has something to say:

Small theater (blowing bubbles)

Li Yu: Spit (one) bubble (rise) bubble (play)

King Jing: Come - eat - me.

Li Yu shook his head: No, no, it’s spitting bubbles (playing)

King Jing: Very delicious

King Jing: I know you can’t wait to be eaten by me.

Li Yu: …
