Mermaid Throne

There are five days until the second game.

Tao Yiran sat on the sofa, quietly watching his game video.

Cao Li was picking on his movement problems, and on the other side was the information of his opponent in the next match.

This is the first time Tao Yiran has seen his own video.In the past, he boxed alone. If he won, he won. If he lost, he could only accept that his strength was not as good as others.

But now, his management team is using another concept to try to overcome the paranoia of teenagers: the real boxing ring belongs to the world of technology.

There are countless data analysis and targeted training behind every top boxer. In addition to daily training indicators, the weight of each meal, the nutritional supplements taken each time, and sleep time are all strictly restricted by artificial intelligence.

Speaking of this, Cao Li paused, and said helplessly: "Of course we don't have the money to use artificial intelligence to assist, but at least a rough estimate is still needed."

Tao Yiran propped his chin with one hand, his eyes showed obvious confusion.

Cao Li felt for a moment that he seemed to have discovered something.

"...you...do you not understand these analyzes?" He tried his best not to offend his employer.

"30.00%... I don't understand it." Tao Yiran was not ashamed, pointing to the densely packed text on the top: "Is this row talking about the opponent's information?" If I can understand 70.00%, I have to say it belongs to the little mermaid Teach well.Until now, half an hour before going to bed every day, the little mermaid who sleeps in the same room will lie beside her and teach him cultural lessons.Although I often fall asleep quickly, but now it seems that this teaching is not without effect.

Cao Li's expression was like being hit head-on by a meteorite.

He remembered that this boy who lost his parents at the age of 12 never went to school for the next six years. "Then... before, how much do you understand?"

Tao Yiran smiled: "I understand everything you said, so don't worry about it. You read, I just listen."

Cao Li sighed: "You are still young...forget it, just learn slowly."

But Tao Yiran waved his hand with a calm expression: "Cao Li, I don't think I want to learn."

"Many fighters said the same thing at the beginning. Although it is cumbersome, you will understand its benefits after you win."

"I don't want to become an evolutionary person." Tao Yiran blocked all the examples he was about to list with one sentence.

"...Why?" The manager who thought that I was going to illuminate Yuenaihe Mingyue's ditch had only these three words left.

"Because of everything you said." Tao Yiran looked at him and said, "Eat, wear, use, and even every game, they have to strictly calculate the best way, just like a man without A robot with its own temper. If so, why not choose a machine? It is precisely because human beings rely too much on all data that they will eventually lose to wild mermaids in nature."

He opened his palms and combined them into fists.

"I just like boxing."

"My likes cannot be measured data."

"I like boxing just because I want to get stronger. I only know that I am really getting stronger when I beat someone else."

Cao Li didn't say until the young man stood up from the sofa and was going to eat, "But you won't be able to win after this." Most of the boxers who have reached this level are the robots he said.It is too difficult for ordinary humans to win against such a robot.

The young man rubbed his belly, casually: "That just proves that I am not strong enough. Everyone has their own growth direction, and I may be the kind of primitive human being suitable for the wild."

Ji Yunzhi, who came over with a cup of nutritional drink, paused, and handed him the cup: "Wild apple juice."

"... Here it comes again! Here it comes again!" The young man said with disgust, but still took it and finished the drink.

Tao Yiran didn't realize that the door of Rongxuan's room was half-closed, and the wild piranha was sitting in the dark room, but its eyes fell on the boy.

Tao Yiran, if I can fulfill your wish, will you come with me?

Even though he was not reconciled, Cao Li accepted his wish as he was the employer after all.In addition to the technical guidance and the nutritious meals that Ji Yunzhi insisted on, Tao Yiran still lived at his own pace in the next few days.

Ji Yunzhi followed behind him silently, like a competent little secretary. During practice, he would hand over towels in due course. When he was thirsty, the bottle would always be full of formula drinks. When he was resting, he would summarize his training. Progress and mistakes, even when he didn't want to do anything but bask in his belly, that guy would silently hand him a recliner.

...Damn, it's so thoughtful that it makes people hairy!

Tao Yiran couldn't take it anymore, and finally when the other party brought him a can of nutrition, he deliberately asked: "Do you like me?"

Ji Yunzhi's pretty face immediately darkened. "I don't like men, even though I've put them up for bids."

Tao Yiran said: "That's good. Don't be so nice to me, I'm not used to it." He paused, and then said: "If you want to stay, you can stay. When I don't need it, even if it's the icing on the cake, I'm not used to it." It's a waste of time."

Ji Yunzhi's pent-up anger finally erupted: "Don't make it seem like I have no other place to go but here! Yes, that's right, I want to stay, but to you, am I worth it?" Nothing exists, so I used my labor force to fight for the meaning of staying. Is it wrong? I am not Rong Xuan, nor Cao Li, and that is all I can exchange with you. Even if you don’t necessarily need it, I You can only take them all out, can't you?"

Tao Yiran froze for a moment.He didn't expect that this high-cold companion was also trying to find meaning for his own existence.

"I really don't understand." Taking the nutrition in his hand, Tao Yiran smiled wryly: "Why do you all follow me? I don't even know where my future is, but you plan it earlier than me my future."

Since he lost all his loved ones, his existence means nothing.

He lives for himself and pursues victory, just to prove that he is living a solid life.

But later, there was a little mermaid who needed to be protected by his side, and now there was another human being who wanted to find the value of existence by his side, so he didn't know how to go on.

Ji Yunzhi said coldly: "You are wrong. We follow you not because of how charming you are. It is because you have the most needed ability to live in this world, and Cao Li and I don't have it, so we can't get it. "The eyes of the boy who is three years younger than him are wise beyond his age: "You take this ability for granted, but have you ever thought that if you don't even have this ability, how can you survive at the age of 12? ?”

Tao Yiran stared at him blankly.

"If you don't even have the strength to refuse, you'll still cling to powerful people like me and live without dignity." After Ji Yunzhi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Tao Yiran had nothing to answer, so he couldn't persuade him to stay.

He didn't intend to provoke Ji Yunzhi, but he was used to being mean to others, so he felt uncomfortable when he wanted to say something nice.

Dazed for a moment, Tao Yiran, who couldn't figure out how to appease the other party, simply went to find the piranha who was in the room and didn't know what to do, maybe that guy who was slightly smarter than himself would solve this problem for him.

But in the dark room, unlike usual, the piranha fell asleep lying on the table.

Tao Yiran had no choice but to pick him up and put him on the bed. The little mermaid, who was always very vigilant, was still asleep during this process.

Tao Yiran felt that something was wrong, and reached out to touch his forehead, only to feel hot.

Do mermaids get sick too?

Then how to cure it?

He was a little flustered, and wanted to try again with his forehead against his forehead, but when he leaned forward, his eyes suddenly went dark.

In the darkness, no one saw the boy fall on top of the child as if the power had been cut off.

The room was so quiet that only the sound of artificial intelligence was left.Only Tao Yiran and Rong Xuan's fingerprints were recorded on the door, no one else could come in.

When Tao Yiran opened his eyes again, there was a bottomless blue-black in front of him.

He looked up and found that the top of his head was actually a slightly translucent sea.He is actually at the bottom of the sea? !

The teenager belatedly covered his mouth and nose, for fear of choking on water.However, when he desperately wanted to swim upstream, his feet were extremely heavy.

He gritted his teeth, struggled with all his strength, and finally surfaced before his last breath was exhausted.

He gasped for breath, puzzled by his inexplicable return to the sea.However, the sea did not give him a chance to breathe. The chaotic sea had already started to create big waves, and the three-story high waves hit Tao Yiran, dragging the boy into the sea again.

What's happening here?

Tao Yiran, who had swallowed a few mouthfuls of seawater, could only swim to the surface of the sea desperately, but the strong wind and waves on the sea surface were more uncomfortable than the bottom of the sea.Tao Yiran was exhausted, and after struggling several times, he was finally pushed back to the bottom of the sea by a big wave.

……Dry.

When falling to the bottom of the sea, Tao Yiran watched the sea surface getting farther and farther away from him.

This is absolutely impossible to be true, and it would be too embarrassing to die here!

He clenched his fists and shouted with the last bit of strength in the sea: "Damn piranha, where are you hiding!"

The roar that should have turned into bubbles was not affected by the sea water, and echoed on the deep blue seabed.However, the water still poured into the trachea, Tao Yiran choked a few mouthfuls, feeling more and more water pouring into the chest cavity.

Tao Yiran opened his eyes wide, watching the last trace of darkness about to swallow him up.

"Tao Yiran!" An anxious voice finally pierced through the despair, picked him up from the darkness, the boy suddenly opened his eyes, and coughed violently.

"How are you?" Rong Xuan hurriedly relieved him.

What he answered was a mouthful of bloody sputum coughed onto the bed sheet.

Rong Xuan's eyes widened, and he was about to rush out to call for someone, but was stopped.

"What the hell..." The voice became as rough as sandpaper, and Tao Yiran finally calmed down, "What else did you not tell me?"

"Damn it, you're coughing up blood! Can't you talk about it later?!" The little mermaid couldn't help but explode.

"That's the blood from being beaten up before, what are you afraid of," Tao Yiran wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at him: "Tell me, can mermaids know magic?"

The little mermaid pursed her lips, seeing that he was really fine, and then slowly replied: "...mental stress. That's the mental stress that only a few purebred mermaids have."

Tao Yiran opened his eyes wide as if listening to a scripture from heaven.

Rong Xuan briefly explained the mental stress of the mermaid, and then felt a little embarrassed: "I'm too young to control this thing. Just now I just thought too much about it, and I didn't take it back for a while. Then you..."

"I'll just deliver it to your door." Tao Yiran was a little depressed, but he still reached out to touch his forehead: "Isn't it sick?"

Rong Xuan was blushed slightly by his actions: "No."

"Oh...then I'll take a rest," Tao Yiran simply lay back on the bed, "If all mermaids know how to do this, humans will lose sooner or later."

Rong Xuan was stunned for a moment before laughing.After he lay down, he lay down next to him again, and asked in a low voice: "Then do you like the sea?"

"It's okay." The person who was swept away by sleepiness because of fatigue replied hastily.

"Hate mermaids?"

"You say yourself?"

"Of course it's a mermaid other than me."

"I don't hate it, there are far more human beings who offend me than mermaids." Tao Yiran yawned, his words were already slurred.

Rong Xuan clenched his fist quietly and didn't ask any more questions.

He knew that this person had no idea of ​​the way forward, and getting such an answer was already the best answer.

Take your time, one day I will let you choose to come to me.

Before the start of the second match, although Tao Yiran frowned, he still drank the mixed energy drink prepared by Ji Yunzhi.In the past two days, no matter how bad the food Ji Yunzhi handed over, Tao Yiran did not refuse.The young man didn't know how to say nice words, but he still subdued him with actions.

Ji Yunzhi's mood finally turned cloudy after the other party threw a pass before going on stage.

He didn't know what method Tao Yiran used, but as a person who had been deprived of his status as a resident of the Mechanical City, it was definitely not something that he could spend money on to regain his independent pass.

When did this guy do this quietly?

"It turns out that he accepted the reporter's exclusive interview for this purpose." Cao Li saw it and sighed, "Sure enough, he is a little bastard, who dared to release the second victory speech in advance in the exclusive interview, and exchanged the opponent's first game for this A pass."

Ji Yunzhi was in a complicated mood.

After hearing this, Rong Xuan's face turned dark.

This time, he met a guy with a gangster background, and the tiger and leopard tattoos all over his body made him feel fierce.However, Tao Yiran already had fans, and in front of such an opponent, he actually received a lot of support from the audience.

The game lasted for half an hour.The young man who is good at quick attacks adopted a relatively conservative technique this time. It has to be said that Cao Li's intelligence analysis gave him great help.

The more this is the case, the more pity Cao Li is in the audience.This is definitely a material that can become an evolutionary person, but it has been stocked for too long.

Before Tao Yiran was exhausted, the opponent who was shaped like a hill finally fell to the ground.Ji Yunzhi watched him step off the stage, and was about to go over to help him, but saw the other party leaning against Rong Xuan habitually.

Obviously there is a big difference in height between the two, but Tao Yiran never seems to worry about whether the other party can support him.

What was given to Rong Xuan was trust, but what was given to himself was just friendship, or something more indifferent?

Ji Yunzhi was a little unwilling. He knew that this was an emotion that could only be honed over time, but of course he wanted to get more.He lowered his head, facing Shang Rongxuan's clear eyes.

There is no showing off or disgust, but a straightforward desire for monopoly.

A possessive desire that is not at all like a child.
