Mermaid Throne

On the day Tao Yiran was discharged from the hospital, he received official news: the national knockout competition will be held in a month, and the top four players must arrive at the Mechanical City three days in advance to receive their entry cards.

Located inland, the Mechanical City is the second largest city after the Central City, and one of the four cities with the highest degree of human mechanization.A large number of scientific and technological forces are gathered here, and it is also a key line of defense to protect the central city.After the mermaid war ended, in order to increase the defense, with the mechanical city as the core, a protective wall extending thousands of kilometers north and south, this kind of modern protective wall similar to the ancient Great Wall, uses laser rays as a barrier, and there are patrol robots from time to time Overhaul and maintain the entire defense system.Anyone who enters or exits the mechanical city must check their identity card, and the mermaid must hold a temporary pass card approved by the government to pass the strict border inspection.

When he got the notice, Tao Yiran glanced at Rongxuan.Let alone whether this little guy is a black household, even if he is not, his identity as a purebred mermaid makes it impossible for him to enter the mechanical city through formal channels.

It is not impossible to buy black households.It's just... I'm already considered a half-celebrity, so it's a bit too ostentatious to bring a black household in.

Rong Xuan was sitting on the table eating ice cream, with his feet dangling in the air, watching TV quietly, obviously ignorant of the difficulties he was about to encounter.

Tao Yiran thought for a while and walked into the small room.

There are now three small iron boxes stuffed in the room, which are full of banknotes.Tao Yiran didn't even count how much money was in it—their task today was to save money first.

The boy squatted in front of the cash box, picked out a box that was not too heavy, picked it up, said "I'll be right back" to the little mermaid, and went out by himself.

The gangsters in Nanzhou City are no longer coming to Nanzhou City. The top four players represent the honor of the region to Nanzhou City. If you knock someone down before the game, then this gangster is too ignorant.

It's just that they never expected that Tao Yiran would take the initiative to come to find trouble.

The red light district at night is dominated by gangsters. In this era when the strong are king, gangsters have replaced part of the police and become the defenders of regional order-of course, all orders are based on them.

Tao Yiran found the underground karaoke hall next to the electrical appliance store. It was very lively with lights, feasting and feasting. The security guard at the door was about to stop him to ask for the entrance fee, but when he saw the face clearly under the dim light, he took two steps back in fright. : "Skeleton..."

"Where is your boss?"

"...You you you you you you..." The security guard forgot about guarding the door, rushed into the store staggeringly, and reported to Datou.

Tao Yiran followed behind, and heard the security guard yelling heartbreakingly, "The evil star is coming! Run!"

Dry!I am not a virus!Tao Yiran chased after him in two or three steps, and grabbed the trembling security guard: "Stop talking nonsense, I'm here to find your boss, I don't want to fight. Lead the way."

"...you you you...what are you doing here!" The person who was asked for help was like a foreman, his face was pale, "We dare not do anything to you anymore, please go away!" At this time, if Tao Yiran was injured As a hair, the whole Nanzhou city would hate them to death.

"I'm not here to fight. I'm looking for your boss." Tao Yiran curled his lips impatiently, "I'm here to buy something, and I brought all the money." He said shaking the cash box in his hand.

The temperament of the dead upstart leaked a lot.

The foreman looked at him for a long time before hesitatingly said that he wanted to go in and ask, then stepped into the back room.

Tao Yiran sat at the bar drinking water, and the cash box was casually placed beside him.

Even so, no one dared to touch the box.At this time, no one wants to be a sinner in Nanzhou City. Even if Tao Yiran has offended many people before, at this moment he represents the glory of Nanzhou City, who would dare to touch it?

The foreman quickly came out again, still looking trembling: "The boss let you in..."

Tao Yiran was about to leave with the money box in his hand, when a childish and angry voice came from the door of the store: "Tao Yiran, you bastard, you are spending money indiscriminately! There is more than 1! Ten thousand! You have Soap it?! Can't save a penny!"

The boy clicked his tongue and retorted: "Don't be so wordy, this money is mine."

"When can you save some? This money is enough for you to spend how many days!"

"What do you save money for? They can't self-fertilize and reproduce asexually."

"When will you be able to use the energy of reading miscellaneous books on literacy!"

"Self-fertilization is quite interesting, you can tell me about it next time." Tao Yiran smiled roguely, and strode into the inner room.

Sitting on the sofa and drinking with a beautiful woman in his arms, the corners of the gangster's mouth twitched slightly. "What self-fertilization?"

"It's not you anyway." Tao Yiran didn't mean to be polite at all, and threw a box of money on the table, causing the beauties to exclaim. "[-] gold, I want the underground passage places for two mechanical cities."

The foreman rushed to the side of his boss and whispered a few words. The man sat up straight and looked at him with a half-smile: "Are you a mermaid slave?"

"Fart your mother," Tao Ran said disdainfully, "Have you ever seen an unmarked mermaid slave?"

There are many controversies about Tao Yiran. How a human being who has not undergone systematic training became so strong. Apart from being a genius, there are many conjectures.

The man inspected it, leaned back slightly, and questioned, "Then how do you explain that a semi-finalist wants to go through the underground passage?"

"I don't think you will have so many problems doing business at the level of 1 yuan." Tao Yiran picked up the cash box, "[-] yuan is just half a month's income for the gang, but in exchange, I Can show you a way to the sea."

Rong Xuan wished he could strangle this human being to death.This guy really knows how to make equivalent exchanges!From the fish scale armor to the dark river, what else can't he sell?

The man finally became interested: "What passage? Humans can pass through? Can you bypass the mermaid guards?"

Tao Yiran looked at him silently.

"……make a deal!"

Leaving the underground karaoke hall, Rong Xuan grabbed the hem of his clothes and asked, "You really don't know how to leave a way out for yourself? You have done everything, and when your competition is over, where should you go? No way." Maybe stay in the mechanical city all the time?!"

Tao Yiran suddenly stopped and looked at him: "What if I want to stay in the Mechanical City?"

Rong Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then let go of his hand slightly, with a sad expression on his face: "...I can't be too far away from the sea."

After the mermaid princess landed, she turned into a bubble. This is not a fairy tale.

Mermaids are amphibians, but they cannot be dehydrated for a long time. Although purebred merfolk have powerful abilities that surpass other mermaids, they have a fatal weakness-they cannot leave the sea for more than a hundred days.

Although purebred mermaids are desperately using various technologies to reduce the impact of leaving the sea, even with the most expensive equipment, purebred mermaids cannot leave the sea for more than 150 days.Therefore, human beings can safely hide inland and build their own castles.

This is also the reason why purebred mermaids need to conceal their identities. Exposure of this kind of weakness in the interior is almost equivalent to suicide.

Tao Yiran's expression remained unchanged: "Oh, then come back after the game. If you can't live here, just change to another city. I don't care."

Rong Xuan stood there dumbfounded for a while, then quickly followed, grabbed his hand, and stopped talking.

The temperature from the root of the ear gradually spread to the cheek.

It never occurred to him that this man would promise anything.But once you hear that, you can't help but believe it.This guy's sincerity is always mixed with countless lies, if you don't pay attention, it will easily slip away.

The hands holding him were first clasped, and then slowly, it became fingers interlaced.
