Chapter 64
After hearing what Su Xingyuan said, the captain of the Atlantis Guard: "???"
What level cap? What player?
It's something it hasn't heard of, so...
It looked solemn and asked cautiously:
"Your race is called 'player'?"
Su Xingyuan: “…”
This game always surprises him in unexpected places.
What the hell is a race called player?
Because the people who heard him say similar things before were all humans, and they would just think he was talking nonsense, but the dungeon creatures are different, they have their own understanding :)
But...it doesn't seem to be wrong?
After all, players and NPCs are not really the same race in a sense.
After some brainstorming, Su Xingyuan nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I am a player."
He was keenly aware that the Atlantean in front of him was becoming less hostile.
It retracted the trident that had been pointed at Su Xingyuan and asked, "Then why do you look exactly like a human? And we just heard outside that they seem to have a grudge against you?"
Su Xingyuan: "They are jealous that I can transform."
Captain of the Atlantis Guard: "..."
Perhaps because the humans he had captured before had used similar excuses, the captain said angrily, "I look easy to fool..."
The human-looking boy in front of him instantly turned into a human body with a fish tail.
“……Is that so?”
A very vivid look of dullness appeared on the serious face of the mermaid captain.
When Su Xingyuan used [Assimilation Fish Tail], he would automatically wear the beautifying costume. At this time, he was very dedicated to putting on the fish setting, lowered his head slightly, and said with some sadness:
"I'm different from you, that's why I turned into a human form... Do you hate me?"
Not only the captain, but all the mermaids here were dumbfounded.
They had never seen anyone like them with such jet-black and smooth hair, a color that was as dreamy and perfect as the protagonist in the bedtime story, skin that was cold, white and smooth but not lifeless, and eyes that were so beautiful that they could not be described by anything in Atlantis.
Suddenly, the beautiful mermaid boy who looked like a member of the same kind and out of tune with them complained in a very exaggerated manner:
“Are you ostracizing me, isolating me, and bullying me?”
Guard Captain: “…”
Guard captain: “…………”
He swam back slowly, backwards.
Came to the warm big family of several guard members behind him.
And until now my brain is a mess and my CPU is burning.
Seeing this, the mermaid boy said affirmatively: "Oh, you just exclude me, isolate me, and bully me."
Guard Captain: “……!!”
It waved its hands quickly, and the trident in its hand swayed left and right with its movements, almost poking the eyes of a fellow nearby:
"No, that's not the case, our friends! No Atlantean would discriminate against his fellow countrymen!"
——Suddenly, it changed from a human to a human body with a fish tail, and looked like a sculpture, and used a tone that inexplicably made the mermaid feel a chill on her back. It couldn't react at all! !
But these words certainly could not be said now. The captain of the guard, who had been dazzled by the beauty, forgot the original purpose of going forward to check. He only wanted to comfort the little mermaid who was hurt by their reaction.
"It's not discrimination, it's just because you are really..."
“So divine!”
“So beautiful!”
"He is simply the biological son of the God of the Ocean!"
"I've never seen a merman like you!"
The guards around him spoke first, and all swam over and surrounded the mermaid boy:
"How do you keep your hair jet black?"
"You look like a pearl... Will it break when my tail swings over you? I've often accidentally crushed pearls before."
"Oh my goodness, we'll keep you safe, dear little Pearl."
Hearing the words of the Atlanteans, Brent, who had barely managed to stay alive and forgotten where he was, and now had regained some strength, sneered and said:
"Don't be stupid... That guy is more cunning than anyone else here! He's playing tricks on you, can't you see that?"
"That's a liar!"
After saying these words in front of the mermaids, Brent thought that Su Xingyuan would not be better off either, and the hatred and resentment in his heart finally dissipated a little. Just when he was about to feel a little refreshed, he saw the mermaids glaring at him - but they were just looking at him.
The mermaid on Su Xingyuan's left covered his ears, the mermaid on his right gently covered his eyes, and the mermaid in front bent down, supported the ground with her arms, and said distressedly:
"It's bad words, little Pearl, don't listen to it."
Brent: “…”
Brent almost vomited blood again.
Do you mermaids have any brains? !
Is your head filled with sea water? !
Before he could completely lose his mind and start cursing, a ball of seaweed blocked his mouth. A mermaid said with disgust: "It seems that the injuries on your bodies were caused by each other. He didn't do anything at all. You are still accusing him now. It's really vicious."
"Yes, we finally managed to let him know that he is very beautiful. The tolerant people of Atlantis would not discriminate against any mermaid. You almost ruined our efforts."
They even felt worried: "Didn't little Pearl say she wanted to leave them behind? What if they hurt him? Poor child..."
Brent: “…”
What's pitiful?
Can it whip people away with just one blow of its tail?
However, his mouth was tightly blocked by seaweed and he could not make any sound. He could only watch as the pretentious guy raised his eyes and looked down at him in the crowd of mermaids.
Anger rushed to my heart.
Brent's vision finally went dark.
[You have killed [Brent]! 】
Just taking a second look at the red name status, Su Xingyuan suddenly received a kill pop-up window: "?"
He obviously didn't do anything, right?
So...it turns out that if an NPC is angered to death by a player, it can also be counted as being killed?
The players were shocked.
However, he didn't plan to let the remaining few people stay for long, so he swam over and quickly finished off one of their tails.
[You have killed [White]! 】
【You have killed "Inochi Yuji"! 】
…
[You have been upgraded!] 】
The few hunters who stayed here were indeed high-quality hunters. Su Xingyuan not only upgraded, but was only one step away from level 31.
Immediately afterwards, Su Xingyuan saved the game and then stepped into the spring again.
As expected, the magic power was not raised to the upper limit like last time, but began to be frantically drawn by the spring water, like an inescapable whirlpool.
He read the file calmly.
If such a miraculous thing could really cause him to bug out multiple times, he would question the production level of the game production team.
However, although it is unusable now, after perfectly clearing the secret realm, the Holy Spring should appear in his [Home].
We'll see if there's room for improvement then.
At the same time, seeing him deal with these people, the mermaids not only did not think he was cold-blooded, but as a hunting race at the top of the pyramid in the ocean, they also thought he did a great job.
The mermaid boy, whose style was incompatible with that of the Atlanteans, smiled modestly and asked with some doubt: "When I was in human form before, you were very cautious but didn't mean to hurt me... Why is that?"
The captain scratched his head and said, "Because you carry a special kind of magic power... I did go to see you with malice towards intruding humans, but that magic power soothed my sharp emotions and softened my attitude towards you uncontrollably."
It added: "In fact, this magic power is a bit like the god who controls the waters..."
Su Xingyuan took out the dragon ball from his backpack.
He still remembered that when he got this thing, the description column stated that it was an important item in the secret realm.
"Is this it?" Su Xingyuan raised his eyes while holding the aqua blue dragon ball.
He saw that the Atlanteans present seemed to be paused, behaving as if they had first seen his magical, glorified version of a mermaid.
The captain came to his senses first, and he said quickly, "You actually have the Sea God's Spirit Pearl...! I must report it to the Queen."
Su Xingyuan was silent for a moment: "... Isn't it a bit weird for a Jiaolong to be the sea god of a mermaid?"
This time, the captain didn't even notice what he said and left in a hurry.
Su Xingyuan was not at all panicked by the sudden change in the expression of the captain of the Atlantis Guard. If there was anything wrong, he would just reload the save file.
"What's your name, little Pearl?"
——Looking at the mermaids’ suddenly more eager gazes, it’s probably not a bad thing to own that dragon ball.
Su Xingyuan said with a smile: "You can call me Xingyuan. I haven't been to Atlantis yet. What are the special products of Atlantis? For example... beautiful minerals."
The player knows that there must be a main storyline in the secret realm, but the main storyline can be completed sooner or later, and he can't wait to get the new sword - the star sand ore unique to Atlantis is one of the materials for casting the [Broken Moon Sword].
In other words, in an open world, it's good enough if players are willing to do the main storyline, and you really can't ask too much about when to do it.
After hearing what Su Xingyuan said, one of the mermaids immediately said, "Star Sand Mine, you must go and see the Star Sand Mine we have here."
“They are really beautiful, just like the starry sky we saw after swimming to the surface of the sea!”
The black-haired mermaid boy blinked his eyes, showing an expectant expression, and asked: "Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course!" The mermaids agreed immediately: "This place is actually quite far from Atlantis City, and usually no one comes here. We will take you there right away!"
The palace fell into deathly silence again.
…
Inside the royal city of Atlantis.
The captain of the guard swam towards the queen's location without slacking off, wagging his tail frantically.
"Captain, why are you so anxious? What happened?"
A somewhat childish voice suddenly came.
Hearing this voice, the captain of the escort team immediately stopped and said excitedly: "Dear guest, just as you said, the spirit pearl appeared!"
Hearing this, the elf-eared boy's eyes lit up instantly. He looked more excited and happy than the captain of the guard:
"Really? Is the person who brought him a male human with black hair and green eyes, and his weapon is a short sword?"
The captain of the escort team was stunned for a moment. Due to the great impact, the only thing left in his mind was the image of the beautiful mermaid: "No, he is a mermaid of another species."
“…”
The smile on the elf-eared boy slowly disappeared.
Even his eyes began to ignite murderous intent.
"Mermaid."
"The Dragon Ball was clearly in the hands of Brother Su Xingyuan...how could it be taken by a mermaid?"
In the darkness, a young man with white hair and dark skin appeared. His face was sullen and he pushed the ground with his feet. The surrounding sea water moved with it and he rushed out in an instant, heading towards the palace where the captain of the guard had just come out.
"Mr. Ariel—"
The captain of the guard was a little confused. Based on his trust in the mermaids, he had never thought that there would be such a thing as killing people and stealing treasures, so he didn't understand why Ariel seemed to be angry suddenly.
And the expression became scary.
It was a little worried about the mermaid that was suddenly targeted by Ariel, but it had no way to go back now.
Forget it, let it report to the Queen first.
