Or, should we go back and register with her first, and then come back to deal with things here?
Lin Ziming silently made plans in his mind, and his mood became pleasant.
A gentle smile graced her face, so sweet it was almost overwhelming.
However, Liu Shile didn't really notice this at the moment, and pulled Lin Ziming towards a pile of dark things.
"Zimo, do you think these are materials you can use?"
Because of Lin Ziming, Liu Shile actually knows quite a few good people, but these are the ones she has never actually seen before.
Not only had she never seen them, but there were also some that Lin Ziming had never seen either.
However, what can he do when he's a powerful figure with a system at his disposal?
Just because he doesn't know him now doesn't mean he won't know him in the future.
So he nodded, "I don't recognize some of them yet, but I can use some."
I'll put these materials away and study them later.
"Lele, you should put those things away too. I don't feel comfortable leaving them here."
The journey has actually been very smooth, so smooth that Lin Ziming can hardly believe it.
But the fact is, they haven't encountered any trouble so far!
Such a scenario would be practically impossible in an apocalypse.
But now, they have actually obtained such a large sum of money so smoothly.
Liu Shile didn't think too much about it. Since they had found this place, the things must be theirs.
So she nodded and readily accepted all the gold, silver, and jewelry.
Then, he cheerfully said to Lin Ziming, "I suddenly feel like I've become rich overnight."
Hehe, if your students knew this, they'd definitely say you're a gigolo again~~
Lin Ziming was speechless. "Then, Lele, you little rich girl, would you be willing to support me?"
...
Liu Shile was almost startled by his sudden words and got goosebumps.
"Cough cough cough, so haven't you been the one supporting me all along?"
Hurry, hurry, take all the materials and money, wander around the palace a bit more, and then head back.
"Go back and finish what you're doing now, then buy this place. You can come back often in the future."
Well, anyway, she's a woman with teleportation abilities, so she can come anytime she wants.
Lin Ziming had no objection to this, but remained vigilant.
Their trip went too smoothly, so smoothly that he felt uneasy and thought it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
The two quickly took everything from the treasure room.
Then, when they returned to the main hall, they were dumbfounded.
What's going on with all these bubbles filling the palace?
"W-w-w-w... Am I hallucinating?"
Liu Shile was stunned, feeling as if she had gone blind, and unconsciously rubbed her eyes.
Then, all I could see were bubbles on the screen, and inside them lived beautiful mermaids?
Is this a living mermaid?
No, do mermaids live inside bubbles?
Why is it different from the legends I've heard?
Not only did Liu Shile feel like she was hallucinating, but even Lin Ziming's eye twitched violently.
"They should be mermaids, but something seems off about them."
Lin Ziming's observation skills were ridiculously strong; he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with them.
Hearing his words, Liu Shile snapped out of her shock and then asked telepathically, "Won't they attack us?"
After all, they took away the treasure that belonged to this clan.
If it were unclaimed, Liu Shile felt no pressure or remorse taking it, but if it belonged to someone…
Well, if someone is already taken, we can discuss it.
After all, they hadn't seen these people, uh, mermaids, when they first arrived.
"Don't go out yet. Those bubbles can float, they don't seem simple. We don't know how strong they are, we have to try first."
As Lin Ziming spoke, he released the reconnaissance devices, sending them out to test whether the mermaids would attack them.
However, they did not know that these mermaids could do nothing but talk.
Although they possessed considerable strength in life, their sudden death and sealing away of their powers left them completely powerless to deal with others.
Now, at most, they can only drift around in the main hall; they can't even reincarnate.
As soon as the detector went out, the mermaids all made way, seemingly afraid of those things.
Well, it's not that they're afraid of these things, but rather that they've never seen them before, so they're wary and don't dare to touch them.
Seeing this, Lin Ziming didn't say anything. After thinking for a while, he decided to try to communicate, maybe he could get through it?
"Hello, are you from the mermaid clan?"
He spoke, his voice gentle and pleasant to hear.
As soon as he spoke, chaos erupted on the mermaid's side, and the bubbles began to float around.
Lin Ziming and Liu Shile could clearly see their mouths moving, but they couldn't hear their voices.
This seems like it might be difficult to communicate with.
To be precise, it seems there's some communication breakdown?
Lin Ziming and Liu Shile quietly watched the bubbles, wondering if they could just rush out of them.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Shile said directly to Lin Ziming, "How about we take out the laser gun and try it out?"
She didn't actually have a problem with mermaids; rather, unsure if they were harmless, she was in a hurry to leave.
"Greetings, humans." Just then, the mermaid queen looked at them and spoke.
Liu Shile's eyes widened instantly. They could understand human language?
Although the voice sounded a bit awkward and the speaking speed was slow, it was still human language!
"We didn't mean to trespass, please forgive us. We'd like to leave now, could you please do us a favor?"
Lin Ziming wasn't as surprised as Liu Shile. Clearly, he was somewhat prepared that mermaids could understand human language.
The Mermaid Queen glanced at them. "You're from the East?"
Although the Mermaid Queen asked this question, her tone was quite certain.
Lin Ziming nodded, looking at the mermaid who had spoken, silently assessing whether she had the ability.
Her bubble was the largest of all, and presumably, it held the highest status.
Perhaps, if they could persuade her, they could leave smoothly.
A flicker of fear crossed the Mermaid Queen's eyes, but she nodded without a second thought.
"Sure, you can leave if you want, but please don't spread the word about what happened here."
The mermaid queen was visibly nervous, seemingly afraid of the East.
Lin Ziming was somewhat puzzled, but remained remarkably calm on the surface.
He nodded. "Yes, my wife and I are planning to buy the island, then you'll be safe."
At this point, he added, "What kind of situation are you in?"
Lin Ziming did not expect to get an answer to this last question.
After all, they are of different races, and it's impossible for them to tell them some confidential information, right?
However, to his surprise, the mermaid actually answered.
Moreover, the answer was quite chilling: they were all actually spirits?
