Chapter 143 Dependents
Asu Yue hasn't been to this glass house for three days.
I don’t know if he wanted to punish us by fasting or if he was afraid of my abilities and didn’t dare to come.
But it doesn't matter.
She'd better want to kill me - if she even hints at that, then I'll do it.
[…How on earth did you come to this conclusion?!]
After all, to be fair and just, this was self-defense, right?
If she wants to kill me and I can't fight back, then this program is too buggy. I will immediately ask the company to send a lawyer's letter to the world - how can I save the world if I die!
Isn't this Party A maliciously obstructing Party B from completing its mission?!
【……】
Your intelligence and talent always come into full play at times like this.
I'll just take it as a compliment.
"younger brother? "
The words the protagonist can speak now all come from the outside world, so his vocabulary is very limited, but he knows a lot of things, probably instinctively, or information collected from what he sees around him.
He understands a lot now.
Sometimes I wonder, we are all magical creatures, why don’t we have some traditional Chinese inherited memories? As a result, I still have to worry about the protagonist’s education. What if he becomes illiterate?
Oh no, could it be that his later transformation into a villain is due to his lack of education?!
Because this isn't...
Okay, no need to say more.
The water was already a little turbid. After all, it was stagnant water, and the oxygen content in it was gradually decreasing. The protagonist and I couldn't stay curled up at the bottom of the pool all the time, so we could only float up to catch our breath.
So when the tail can be transformed into legs, it will at least make movement more convenient.
[Ding Di Di - Stage 8: Hidden
You are the twins who cannot exist, the forbidden monsters, and now... you are about to be discovered.
Hide yourself before you are discovered.
Mission Reward: Teacher Whose Name Cannot Be Revealed]
Um?
Wait a minute, you won’t tell me unless I ask you. But once I ask you, you’ll tell me Didi, right?
And who is that teacher who cannot be named?
Are mission rewards this abstract now?!
However, this mission also revealed some information, that is, the reason why Asu Yue and Huo Yol did not come to see us might not be what I initially guessed. They might be in some trouble.
And this trouble is probably because our existence has been discovered.
So now that I've been whittled down like this, how can I hide the two of us——
He began to urgently check his two prop spaces.
My own props are useless. The glasses are a little useful but not much. The props given by the slices are also useless.
Open the points mall urgently.
I probably still have a few million points now, and I don’t know if they are enough to use in this mall with severe inflation.
[…Host, everyone can hear me!]
If you can hear me, please help me think of a solution. For example, find the right long-leg props for the Little Mermaid, or double, is there?
【……have. 】
Huh? Really?
The page on the points mall changed, and three props were pushed in front of me with flashing lights.
This points mall... has been upgraded!
Is this still tied to the system?! It also upgrades when the system is upgraded!
[Ahem, normal maintenance.]
I looked at the three props—
"Human Transformation Potion"
A convenient product provided to non-human hosts, but the person who becomes one has only one appearance, specifically a 30-year-old adult male with healthy limbs, 178cm tall, short black hair, a passerby face, no major facial defects or marks, warm yellow skin, and 0 erect 0 length 13cm.
A flawless passerby.
Side effects: Because it is immutable, it is only suitable for use in modern Asian contexts.
Duration: 24h.
Points required: 150,000 (half price for the second one)
Directions for use: For oral use.
…
There are so many things to complain about. Not to mention that something that shouldn't appear in Green River has appeared, it's just too weird that two of our baby fish suddenly turned into two thirty-year-old human men!
Next!
"Smoke and mirrors"
When used, it allows the person who sees it to see what they want to see, but the tactile sensation will not change. After all, this is just a visual deception and not a real change. It may also fail if you are too close.
Duration: Unlimited
Required points: 30w
How to use: Buy and learn.
…
Too easy to expose, next one.
Xiaomei's Happy Life
Legend has it that there was a little mermaid named Xiaomei. Unlike the little mermaid in fairy tales, she did not marry the prince with poor eyesight, nor did she turn into foam. Instead, she gained two legs, successfully climbed ashore, and was awarded a fisherman's hat, reaching the peak of her life and leaving behind a beautiful legend.
Effect: Grow legs, look more like a human, and have good career luck.
Side effects: Only for mermaids, and every step will be as painful as a needle prick. The mermaid will turn back into a tail at the full moon of each month. The love luck is very bad. If used by men, it may become a friend to women.
Duration: Permanent (until the end of the host's life in this world)
Required points: 800,000 (the price will double if you purchase multiple times to prevent the host from maliciously profiting from the price difference in Mermaid World)
How to use: Blow the conch
…
Waiting for me here?!
It's really a good thing tailor-made for me and the protagonist. Every step hits the point I need, and the side effects are negligible.
The first two seemed to lower my expectations, and then came a perfect product. It was like suppressing something before promoting something, right?
System, tell me the truth, have you gone to study sales?
Even the release of this task was on time, creating an atmosphere that I had to buy it, and then throwing things at me all at once, telling me that cheap things are not good, and I have to buy the most expensive ones.
【……】
[No, I think you are a bit of a conspiracy theorist! ]
[There is no commission at all! The performance appraisal system and the points mall are irrelevant! ! ! ]
Oh, I don’t believe it.
[You don't have to buy them, I think the first two are enough. ]
I'll buy it.
【……】
I said it through gritted teeth and tears in my eyes.
I'll buy two.
[…Are you sure?]
I'm sure.
Then the 240w was gone.
The balance was cleared by half.
Two blue conch pendants appeared on my hands.
The protagonist looked at me curiously with his eyes open. I moved towards him and then we each put a conch shell around his neck.
"younger brother? "
He placed his hand on the conch with a puzzled look on his face.
I thought about it and said, "When I blow, you blow."
I told him so.
He nodded.
He seemed to like this new toy very much and kept touching and looking at it.
Look at what the child likes. It’s not easy to have a toy.
I kept an eye on the situation outside, and on the fifth day, I heard a sound coming from the water surface—
"My children, come up, come up quickly."
Asu Yue's voice was a little anxious, accompanied by the sound of splashing water.
The protagonist tilted his head, then pulled me towards the surface.
As soon as we swam to the surface, something like a swimming ring was put on our heads.
Then I noticed that she looked very haggard, her hair was a little messy, and there were even some bruises on her hands. When she saw the two of us looking at her, her eyes unconsciously avoided us.
"Two uncles will be here soon," Asuyue said quickly, "I know you understand. Don't let them see your fish tail."
"Can you do it? You must have some magical abilities, right?"
Neither the protagonist nor I reacted. The two fish lay on the swimming ring. I yawned and the protagonist slapped his tail, splashing a small splash of water.
"...If you are discovered to be non-human, then they will kill you and you will die."
"You know what death is? It means you can no longer see your brother, your brother."
After saying this, Asu Yue looked at us deeply.
"Do you want to live and be with your mother forever, or die? Decide for yourself."
Then she stood up and hurried out of the glass house.
Maybe something really went wrong.
I:……
I was fine, but the protagonist seemed to be really frightened. His tail, which was flapping in the water, stopped moving. He looked at me with some confusion, and then tried to touch my face with his hand, but the swimming ring restricted his behavior.
Suddenly he started to scream in anxiety.
"No, don't miss it, brother."
I heard what Asuyue couldn't hear.
…I sighed quietly.
He picked up the small conch on his chest. He obviously remembered what I said before and picked it up ignorantly.
Then we blew the conch together.
The fish tail began to heat up slowly, and then it felt like the whole tail was split in half. Young children's senses are more sensitive, and I could still endure this kind of pain. I looked at the protagonist next to me.
His eyes were red and he was gritting his teeth, as if he knew he couldn't really scream out loud now.
I paddled towards him holding the swimming ring and tried to reach out and hold his hand, but his hand held me tightly, with a strength that did not seem like that of a child at all.
...Yes, they are no longer human.
The pain lasted for about a few minutes and then disappeared. I felt as if I was sinking and subconsciously kicked my legs.
The fishtail is really gone.
Wait a moment!
Pulling my hand, he fell down. I hurriedly pulled up the protagonist who didn't understand what was happening, and finally got him hanging back on the swimming ring.
——I can only say that it’s a good thing that Asuyue brought a swimming ring to cover our tails, otherwise the protagonist and I might have become the only two mermaids to be drowned by someone.
I looked at his face carefully. His eyes had turned dark gold, and his hair was still white curls, but the faintly visible scales on his face were gone, and his skin was no longer so inhumanly pale, but had a slight rosy color. Now he looked like an overly beautiful little baby.
Even excessively white skin and hair can be explained by albinism.
[Ding ding ding — Ding ding ding — Stage 8: Hidden (Completed)
Mission Reward: Teacher Whose Name Cannot Be Revealed]
…
It's finally done.
Then suddenly Villar's voice rang in my mind——
[Xiaoyu, there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear?]
ah?
What happened to Villar?
[…So which one do you want to listen to first?]
Good news.
The good news is that I can get out.
Bad news...?
[The bad news is, the teacher who cannot be named is me.]
I:……
ah?
System - what's going on?
Reward me with my local specialties???
The opposite of Tiangang!
[It’s not published by everyone, and it has nothing to do with everything. ]
You cut ties too quickly!
Then I quickly released Villar.
Villar stood by the swimming pool. He still looked like he was less than twenty years old. He wore a white shirt, black breeches and black suspenders, a pair of long boots, and a cloak-like windbreaker. His long black hair was tied behind his head with a black ribbon.
It looks like the outfit from this era, the face is still the same, but the eyes are covered with a black ribbon.
It makes him look like he is not a good person.
[I can hear you, Xiaoyu.]
[I cover my eyes because I cannot be seen by humans, otherwise I will go crazy.]
Okay, this evil god feeling is still right.
"younger brother? "
The protagonist looked at Villar who suddenly appeared with a confused look on his face.
Me: "Teacher."
"teacher? "
"Family!"
I:……
Wait, where did you know this word???
My PTSD is about to kick in?
"I...I have one too."
He said this to me, and then with a wave of his hand, a furry miniature three-headed dog appeared next to Verar.
Me: Ahh ...
Isn't this Boros?!
So he is a dependent???
You ended up cutting your soul into a dog?
