Thinking of what the mermaid said, Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment, but still ate a mind-reading amber candy.

The moment the room was opened, a little boy lying half-dead on the ground was found. The little boy realized that someone had opened the door and struggled to get up from the ground, just in time to see Xiao Qi and two people coming to find him.

His face instantly became pitiful, and he looked at Xiao Qi with his big wet eyes, almost crying.

"Sister, why did you remember me just now? Woohoo, I'm so scared staying here alone. Fortunately, you came..."

The boy came closer after he finished speaking. There were two used syringes on the ground. He should be able to breathe normally now, but why didn't he leave?

At this moment, Xiao Qi heard the boy's inner voice.

"Why haven't they taken me away yet? My plan can't wait that long. If I didn't rely on this woman to take me back to the city, I would really want to strangle her neck. A defective product actually dared to break into the experimental area so brazenly. But what does it mean that she brought two more people? Did she discover something... Impossible, I haven't told anyone about my plan. Everyone is going to die. What underwater city, what evolution, what survival? If I don't live well, no one else can live well!"

Xiao Qi subconsciously took a step back, looking at the harmless boy in surprise. He actually planned to kill everyone. Why?

When the boy saw Xiao Qi retreating, a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes. Then he came forward and wanted to hug Xiao Qi, but was kicked away by Xiao Qi.

After being kicked away by Xiao Qi, the thin boy crashed into the wall, covering his body in pain, his eyes full of disbelief.

But in his heart he was constantly using vicious words to abuse Xiao Qi, and Bo Mu frowned when he saw the hostility in the little boy.

"This kid is definitely not as harmless as he looks. He has great ill intentions towards us."

Xiao Qi nodded to Bo Mu, slammed the door shut again, locking the little boy inside, and spoke to the staff who came with him.

"Find two people to keep an eye on him. He seems to have an antisocial personality and is thinking about how to kill everyone. It would be even better if we could find out why."

Xiao Qi, who wanted to save the little boy just now, gave up on him so decisively, which stunned Bo Mu and the staff member. However, they didn't say anything. The staff knew that these guys were up to no good, and quickly brought people to control the little boy. Xiao Qi took Bo Mu back to the original room to look for the mermaid who seemed to be the leader.

Seeing Xiao Qi coming back, the leader was in high spirits. He asked Xiao Qi to sit down and prepared some snacks for him.

Xiao Qi looked down and saw that the so-called snacks were nothing more than vacuum-packed foods similar to jelly. There were very few things they could eat casually on the seabed, so this should be considered pretty good.

"Respected magician, I'm very sorry... We would like to ask you for a favor. We just received news from the city that the riots have affected many aspects, including the normal operation of facilities. Some fully evolved mermaids have also been attacked. Our people explained the truth to them, but a bigger problem has arisen. They hope that their children can survive. After all, without the evolution potion, no matter how they reproduce in the future, the increase in drug resistance will make them unable to survive, and humans will perish sooner or later."

"They hope that we can build an aerobic city, but this is simply impossible for us. If we want to run oxygen pipelines in such a deep sea, we will need a lot of materials that can withstand pressure. In addition, there are various external factors. After all, humans are definitely not the masters of the ocean. I want to ask you, can you create the kind of home they want?"

A magician is not God and cannot grant every wish. He cannot meet the mermaid's wish request, but if she wants to make oxygen pipes, he can provide some materials.

"I'm sorry, I don't have such ability, but there are ways to build an aerobic city. I can give you some seeds. You just need to temporarily open up a place and grow trees. They can continuously produce oxygen. In addition, you can tell me what type of materials you need. Maybe... we really have them."

When the mermaid heard the word "seeds", his eyes lit up. Among their most scarce supplies, seeds actually had a place.

Originally they saved the seeds, but later these seeds died inexplicably. Therefore, all the planting plans had to be shelved. Unexpectedly, Xiao Qi could bring them the seeds.

Xiao Qi took out a small bag full of tree seeds. This was the reward she got for signing in during the early morning hours. She could choose the type of seeds she needed, and Xiao Qi chose trees.

The package was handed to the mermaids, who quickly took the seeds and kept them.

The subsequent oxygen problem was solved, but during the period when the trees were not grown, they still needed a steady supply of oxygen to maintain their normal lives.

"We also have some materials here. The most scarce one right now is rubber. Besides, refining glass is too difficult for us. If possible, we can exchange things with you."

Xiao Qi happened to have both of these materials, especially the glass, which he had in huge quantities in his backpack. He just didn't know what good things he could get in exchange with them.

"How much do you need? What supplies can be exchanged?"

The mermaid clapped her hands and took out two injections in exquisite packaging.

"This is our latest research and development achievement, the advanced evolution potion. Injecting this can not only improve genes and make the body stronger, but also permanently acquire the ability to breathe underwater. However, the production method is extremely demanding. There are only two of these. If they are used by the residents, uneven distribution will inevitably cause greater trouble. Now that you have solved future problems for us, this gift should be given to you..."

Permanently gain the ability to breathe underwater? This effect is indeed a bit advanced. Xiao Qi glanced at Bo Mu, and Bo Mu nodded, indicating that these two potions are indeed good things as the mermaid said, and there are no side effects.

Xiao Qi accepted the two potions and gave the mermaid 2,500 portions of rubber and 5,000 portions of glass. These were the quantities given by the mermaid and also the quantities they needed to build the city. Although Xiao Qi felt a little painful, completing the copy mission was the most important thing.

In addition, Xiao Qi also returned the previous evolution potions to them, and he and Bo Mu each got one advanced evolution potion.
