Chapter 187 is here again.
Chapter 187 Here it comes again.
Once the mermaids were gone, Boyan activated the silencing array, put on his headphones, and began listening to Lin Xia's 'Heart-Cleansing Mantra,' immersing himself completely in it. "If I could be human, who would want to be a ghost? It seems this experiment is going in the wrong direction."
It's not that it's wrong, but rather that it's 'evil'. Good or evil doesn't matter; it's just that it's irrational and prone to violent behavior, making it unlikely that it will achieve great things.
Seeing the pollution level drop from 60% to 30%, he pulled off his headphones and stopped playing the "Cleansing Heart Mantra." Every time, it would stop decreasing once it reached 30%.
He stood up, looking at the mutated fish swimming around outside, and pondered while stroking his chin. Lin Xia's mental power was likely not like theirs, which was just a skill, but rather... a mental power ability.
Although that's what the rumors have always said, they all refer to a specific skill, so he assumed Lin Xia was the same. But if it's just copying... no, just copying, that's still terrifying.
After several incidents, he became inclined to believe that Lin Xia did indeed possess mental superpowers.
If that's the case, these mermaids won't be able to cause any trouble. He needs to make plans early. A wise person knows when to yield. If the trend is right, Dongcheng Island is a good place.
After looking at the pollution level, I realized we need to find a solution to this problem, otherwise we'll just be stuck in a dead end.
......
"Why can't we find Boyan and his group?!" Ji Wei said angrily. "I've searched so many places underwater."
"They are mermaids, perhaps somewhere in the mysterious deep sea!" Lazy Cat raised his eyebrows.
Ji Wei rolled her eyes: "You've been reading too many fairy tales. What kind of mermaids are they? At most, they're humanoid monster fish!"
“I haven’t heard of anyone seeing mermaids lately. They’re probably afraid of the Cleansing Heart Technique.” One by one, the seeds in A-Tong’s hand quickly grew into green vegetables. She handed the vegetables to Lin Yi to use for hot pot at noon.
"The mermaid thing happened too suddenly, we haven't figured it out at all. We need to increase the monitoring of the mermaids on our island, lest someone take advantage of the situation." Xie Cheng took a bite of an apple.
"Of course. With that sudden appearance of the transformation ability, have your researchers figured it out yet?" Ji Wei nodded.
"Everything seems normal." Xie Cheng shook his head.
“I have a Transformation Card that appeared before them,” Lin Xia said thoughtfully.
Although defensive formations are not as functional or powerful as protective shields, they are set up by oneself. As one's mastery of formations deepens, one will surely be able to set up more powerful protective shields.
Moreover, many of the functions of those props can be manufactured, so the existence of the transformation card may not be a coincidence.
However, they may not appear in the same way as mermaids, suffering as much, and not all mermaids gain the ability to shapeshift.
"Observe those who have gained shapeshifting abilities separately from those who haven't," Lin Xia thought, believing it might yield different results.
"good."
......
A few days later, Lin Yi delivered a test report.
The higher one's mental strength, the more difficult it is to be contaminated. However, ordinary people without special abilities can also be contaminated, but there is an upper limit to the contamination value, which will not exceed 30%.
When this report was released, ordinary people with superpowers and those with special abilities were in an uproar. It turned out that this pollution value was specifically designed to persecute them.
Ordinary people breathed a sigh of relief. Without the ability to kill, even if they turned into murderous monsters, they would still be killed with a single blow. If they didn't turn into monsters, they could live a little longer.
People who had relaxed after the crisis was temporarily averted became diligent again after learning that practicing body tempering techniques could reduce pollution levels. They listened to the Mind Cleansing Mantra and practiced body tempering techniques every day...
......
Just then, news finally came from the island competitors who had been entrusted with important tasks by the marine system.
[Congratulations! Boyan has stirred up a storm at sea, his influence spreading throughout the entire ocean world. He has acquired a small island. Keep up the good work!]
[Congratulations! Wang Jingqiu has stirred up a 'pollution storm' in more than 5 gathering places, affecting more than 10,000 people, greatly increasing his influence. He has been awarded a small island. Keep up the good work!]
......
These two pieces of news stunned everyone.
"They've completely abandoned all shame; they've practically peeled off their own skin," Ji Wei said fiercely.
“Yes, encouraging people to cause destruction and offering islands as rewards will likely lead to many imitators.” Xie Cheng’s expression was also grim.
A-Tong, who was practicing making tea, handed Ji Wei a cup of water: "I don't think it's that easy. Don't be too pessimistic. The island master's Cleansing Mantra can do more than just suppress pollution."
"Hmm? Yes, every time I listen to it, it makes me feel uplifted and invigorated, and it's especially calming and detached from worldly desires." Ji Wei nodded.
"But no matter what, it's still land. People sometimes don't care about disputes; as long as they can live well, they're good people." Xie Cheng still felt there was some danger.
"This is really something. We finally solved one problem and the whole world was at peace, and now they're adding more pressure right away." Lazy Cat was speechless.
“Yes, people’s various attributes are steadily improving, but the influence of the weather is already negligible. This means that new disasters must be arranged, but fortunately, it can only rely on human hands.” A-Tong shook her head.
“But we can only rely on ourselves.” Ji Wei leaned back on the sofa, looking completely spineless.
......
Regardless of the circumstances, people's choices regarding their future lives are not open to others' interference. Also, because of the island owner's authority, even if Lin Xia knew the coordinates, she could not go there.
Many mermaids fled to Boyan's Island, believing it to be their home base and the place where their kind resided.
This news, once it came out, caused the already deep contradictions to be interpreted by some as "those who are not of our kind must have different hearts," as if they had really changed species.
But these words didn't affect Lin Xia. She was actually looking forward to the next game, completing the mission, and getting the island. She thought she could increase her attribute values a lot like Yun Ya, and maybe she could meet her in the next game.
Finally able to calm down, Lin Xia took out the [Superpower Experience Card] she had drawn this time, pondered for a moment, exchanged it for a [Spatial Superpower Awakening Card], and used it.
Spatial abilities are incredibly powerful, and she longs to master them and try again to see if she can encounter that spatial master from before.
Lin Xia entered that space again and appeared on that big shot's shoulder once more.
This time, she was quite certain that she heard a very clear voice: "Huh, here we go again."
Lin Xia was pleasantly surprised to find herself here again. She looked around and saw shadowy monsters everywhere. Where was she?
