I Was Raised After Being a Mermaid

Di Lang's face changed suddenly, and he threw the packing bags he was sorting into the cart: "Quick, put the grill on the cart, we have to leave quickly."

An Jin became nervous due to his emotions, and hurriedly helped carry the oven, a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Di Lang: "The sound just now was the attack of the Black Horned Howler. It sounded like it was going berserk. Now it's far away from us. If it gets closer, you have to use your mental strength to resist, or you will get hurt."

He put the empty basin on the oven and grabbed the handle of the cart: "We can go offline at any time, but the oven will be abandoned. Look at the forest."

An Jin looked over and saw that in the forest, where the roar came from, the surrounding trees fell, smoke and dust were everywhere, and the trees on the edge of the forest shook violently.

While watching, he silently recited 'Mo Horn Roaring Beast' in his heart, which always sounded very familiar to him.

He soon remembered that when he entered the holographic world with Norman before, someone asked Norman for help and mentioned this word.

"This place has a geographical advantage, but no one has set up a stall, because it's not safe outside the town's protective shield," Di Lang said, pushing the car towards the town, urging An Jin, "You go offline first, I dragged things back to the cabin."

An Jin responded, but did not log out, but opened the panel, and the sign belonging to parents was on, and it was in the forest.

Norman is hunting the Black Horned Howler!

He thought for a while and ran to the forest.

"An'an," Di Lang turned his head and saw that he didn't log off, but ran to the forest instead, shouting, "What are you doing, log off!"

An Jin: "I'll go over and have a look. If there is any danger, I will go offline. Don't worry."

When Di Lang saw what he said, he didn't hesitate. He was worried that the range of the Black Horned Howler's next sound attack would expand, so he entered the town without further delay.

An Jin ran in the direction of the small blue dot on the panel. There were many shrubs and weeds growing in the forest. Fortunately, the hunted man walked out of a path, and he ran smoothly.

After a while, the Black Horned Howler roared again. An Jin became dizzy for a while, and a fishy smell rose from his mouth. He quickly activated the supernatural healing.

Ten minutes later, he saw Norman and the huge star beast in front of Norman.

The star beast's skin was dark, and there were two shiny black horns on its forehead. At this time, there were many blood holes on its body, and its eyes as big as copper bells were bloodshot, and it attacked Norman frantically.

An Jin's heart tightened, and she bit her lip to keep silent.

Norman's tall body was very agile. He dodged the attack of the Black Horned Howler, and shot while turning sideways. The bullet with mental power penetrated the skin of the star beast's neck, splashing bright red blood.

The Black Horned Howler roared furiously with its head raised. The sound was huge and vibrated. With it as the center, the sound waves were pushed away layer by layer. The nearby collapsed trees rolled back, and the surroundings of one person and one beast became more open.

An Jin was well prepared this time, and activated her abilities ahead of time, without any discomfort.

He looked at Norman nervously, and he found that whether it was the star beast attacking Norman or Norman attacking the star beast, Norman's mental power would always decrease.

Norman was expressionless, and quickly moved to the right side of the star beast, and fired a few shots at the neck. The star beast turned its head, raised its iron-like feet, and quickly stepped on it.

An Jin moved faster than he thought, and subconsciously wanted to run over, but stumbled over a grass stalk on the ground, and he stepped on the ground hard to stabilize his figure.

Norman rolled over to avoid the attack, noticed him, his eyes changed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "An'an, get off the assembly line."

While speaking, the howler beast attacked him again, and he dodged and fought back at the same time.

An Jin stood where she was, didn't log off the assembly line, and didn't move again, worried that it would affect Norman.

The Black Horned Howler's body was covered with scars and bled a lot, but the attack was still not slow.

Norman also had blood on his body, but he was wearing black clothes, An Jin couldn't tell whether he was injured or not.

What An Jin is more worried about is that Norman's mental power is being consumed rapidly.

Seeing that the little mermaid didn't get closer, Norman relaxed and concentrated on dealing with the Black Horned Howler.

Mojiaohou is the most difficult star beast to hunt in the holographic world. It is not particularly powerful, but its vitality is tenacious, and it can attack with sound, which consumes mental power.

The best way is to fight with wheels, which consumes slowly, but the distance of the sound attack is very large, and it is difficult to realize the battle with wheels.

Going online and going offline doesn't work either, because every time you go online, you will be at the offline location. If you are unlucky, you may be stepped on by the Roaring Beast when you go online.

Eddie's team tried to form a team with other people, reach another location in the holographic world, and then rush to the battlefield, but failed.

Hearing the roar on the way will consume mental power, and it will take time to travel. It is difficult for the people who are dealing with the roaring beast to get support.

And the holographic world is set, if the star beasts get out of battle, they will recover immediately, and there is no need to slowly heal their injuries.

Therefore, if you want to hunt and kill star beasts, you must kill them at once, and you cannot grind them to death slowly.

This is why many people choose to exercise in the holographic world.

As long as the star beast is out of battle before it dies, you can deal with a star beast repeatedly a day for targeted training.

About half an hour later, Norman accurately shot the Black Horned Howler in the neck again. His shooting was very accurate, and almost all the bullets landed on the neck.

The Mojiao Roaring Beast let out a wail, its huge pupils were blood red, raised its head, opened its mouth wide, and made a final sound to attack.

An Jin glanced at Norman's mental state and began to sing.

The brisk singing sounded, and the energy particles quickly flew into the Norman spiritual sea.

Norman was stunned for a moment, and looked at the boy. He didn't expect that the singing in human form would also have a healing effect.

An Jin smiled at him, and while he wasn't paying attention, she activated the water ability to condense the blood on the face of the Black Horned Howler into fast-rotating water arrows, which quickly shot into its eyes.

"Woo..." With a short cry of pain, the Black Horned Howler's attack stopped abruptly, and fell to the ground with a bang, and the ground trembled.

An Jin looked over, his eyes brightened slightly, this was his first attack with water abilities, and he was very satisfied with the result.

Norman walked up to him: "Why don't you go offline?"

An Jin didn't have the nerve to say that he was worried about Norman, as if he doubted Norman's ability. He knew that even if he didn't make a move, Norman would be fine.

He said: "I just want to see, you are amazing!"

Norman met the boy's bright eyes, couldn't hold it back, put his broad palm on the boy's head and rubbed it, and said seriously: "An'an is also very powerful, many people can't cope with the continuous sound attacks of the Black Horned Roaring Beast."

As he spoke, he looked at the boy and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

An Jin shook his head: "No," he frowned, and pointed at Norman's strong arm, where there was a trace of blood, "Are you injured?"

Norman: "Not my blood."

An Jin heaved a sigh of relief, and was about to put down his hand, but his hand was grabbed by Norman. He was taken aback, and looked up.

Norman stared at the little mermaid's fingers, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

The little mermaid only changed her appearance, her body remained the same, her fingers were slender and soft, and there were clearly signs of burns on her white skin.

An Jin curled her fingers: "It's okay."

Norman listened to the soft voice of the little mermaid, thought that the little mermaid had a good temper, was timid and coquettish, suspected that someone was bullying him, and his face became more serious: "Someone bullied you?"

An Jin shook her head: "It's really fine."

He didn't want to tell Norman that he was working at a barbecue stall for the time being, and he was going to give Norman a little surprise.

An Jin exerted a little force on his fingers, but Norman released him.

An Jin smiled and pointed at the Black Horned Howler: "Do you want to get it out?"

Norman: "I'll tell someone to come and take it away. You go offline and rest first."

An Jin shook his head, he was in a good mood, his mental power recovered quickly, and he didn't want to go offline yet.

His eyes were very bright, and he asked, "Are you free now?"

Otherwise, it shouldn't be in the holographic world.

Norman: "Available."

An Jin looked expectantly: "Can you go to a place with me?"

Norman glanced at the time, it was not yet five o'clock, and nodded: "Okay."

An Jin's eyes were bent, and he didn't listen to Norman's words after waiting for a while. He lowered his head, touched the ground with his toes, and couldn't help but raise his head and ask, "Aren't you curious?"

A smile flashed in Norman's eyes: "You will tell me if you are curious?"

"No," An Jin blinked, "then there will be no surprises."

He murmured in a low voice: "But you don't even ask, it seems that you don't expect it at all."

Norman was slightly surprised, looking at the boy's slightly puffed cheeks, and seriously pondered whether he was too boring.

He said seriously: "I'm looking forward to it."

An Jin's face flushed slightly. Norman was so cooperative with his careful thinking, but he felt a little embarrassed and turned his head to one side.

Norman looked at the boy's pink side face, and the smile deepened in his eyes.

Soon, the support staff of Eddie's team came over and thanked Norman repeatedly: "Team Hardy Tang, Boss and Eddie haven't recovered their mental strength to a safe point, they are forbidden to go online, let me help to thank you."

The boss and Eddie couldn't hold on in the middle of the fight and were forced to go offline by the system.

Norman nodded: "You're welcome, go ahead and leave me alone."

The logistics staff transferred more than half of the bounty to Norman and asked the team members to work.

Norman didn't check the amount. He hunted in the holographic world mainly for exercise, and making money was incidental.

He glanced at the little mermaid, the skin below the little mermaid's chin was white and tender, looking soft and clean.

He raised his hand and took off his T-shirt neatly, revealing his strong and exaggerated chest and abdominal muscles.

An Jin looked at it for two seconds, then quickly looked away.

The members of the hunting team nearby praised: "Team Tang's muscles are simply a man's dream!"

"It's so handsome. I really want to have such a figure, but it's a pity that I'm too poor."

Norman didn't speak, and wiped off the blood on his body with a T-shirt, then took a wet tissue from his backpack to wipe off the remaining dried blood, and put on a clean T-shirt.

After he finished dressing, he grabbed the little mermaid's waist with both hands, lightly placed the little mermaid on his left arm, and walked out of the forest.

An Jin hurriedly supported his shoulders, noticed that he had changed his clothes, and guessed that it might be related to him, her ears turned red: "I can go by myself."

"You almost fell just now." Norman stated the facts.

An Jin was stunned for a while and wanted to refute, but then thought of the moment when he tripped over a grass stalk, felt ashamed, and explained in a low voice: "I was just not careful."

Norman rubbed the top of his head: "It's okay, you are very light, I will walk faster with you in my arms."

An Jin accepted this reason, and Norman hugged him, saving time!

Outside the forest, Norman looked around, frowning slightly.

An Jin also looked around: "Are you looking for something?"

"I heard that there is a barbecue stall near here that has a very delicious barbecue. You should like it." Norman explained and continued to move forward.

An Jin's eyes lit up, he didn't expect his skewers to become so popular!

The corners of his mouth curled up, holding down the pride in his heart: "Maybe it's already closed."

Norman will be very surprised when he finds out that he baked the skewers later, the more he thinks about it, the happier he is.

At this time, Di Lang, the owner of the barbecue stall, was not in a good mood.

He returned to the hut, and was about to clean up the oven and the pot for marinating skewers when Mu Chen came to the door.

Mu Chen's image in the holographic world is very handsome, and his figure has also changed, but he is thinner, looking like a nobleman.

"Excuse me, are you Di Lang?" Although Mu Chen recognized Di Lang, he asked politely.

Di Lang was puzzled: "I am, what do you want?" He said and added, "Today's skewers are sold out."

"I'm not here to buy skewers, but I have something to ask you." Mu Chen smiled gently, "To show my sincerity, let me introduce myself. I'm Mu Chen, the leader of the Third Legion. Hello."

As he spoke, he opened his panel and showed it to Di Lang.

The real identity is hidden on the panel and can only be seen with the permission of the person.

After reading it, Di Lang's eyes widened in surprise and excitement.

A student of Imperial University, who is no stranger to the generals in the military department, he wiped his hands nervously: "Mu, General Mu Chen, what can I do for you?"

Mu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be nervous, relax," he seemed to be chatting, "Do you know that your barbecue can improve your mental strength?"

"...What?" Di Lang hadn't reacted in the first two seconds, but when he did, his voice was completely uncontrollable.

He looked at Mu Chen incredulously, with an expression of 'are you kidding me' on his face.

Seeing this, Mu Chen was even more sure that the effect of the barbecue had nothing to do with Di Lang. He nodded solemnly: "I'm telling the truth, it seems that you don't know clearly."

"How could I know? How is this possible! If I knew, how could I sell it at such a low price?" Di Lang spoke very quickly, "That's not right, it doesn't seem to be very useful in the holographic world."

When he said this, he calmed down a little, and soon became nervous again: "You don't think I took advantage of the Hologram Company, and committed a commercial crime?"

He raised his hand to assure: "I definitely don't." Thinking of his tricks, he continued, "My guy is definitely not that kind of person. His family is very poor, he doesn't even know a few words, and he can't speak well. I guess How old are you?"

He concluded: "There must be some misunderstanding!"

When Mu Chen heard this, he couldn't help suspecting that his previous guess was wrong.

The Ministry of Information couldn't find any specific information. Could it be an unregistered citizen in a remote area?Is there such a place in Soo?

Mu Chen thought to himself, if there is a real misunderstanding, he must report to His Majesty and speed up the development of the economy in remote areas.

However, after thinking about it, the effect of barbecue does exist. If it has nothing to do with the two people at the barbecue stall, it is even more impossible.

The first thing they investigated was a butcher shop. The meat in the shop was ordinary and nothing special.

With all distractions ruled out, it can only be related to people.

He sized up Di Lang, could this guy be the film king?Was the shock just now a performance?

But Di Lang's information from childhood to adulthood is transparent to him, and there is no suspicious point.

If he was really capable, Di Lang wouldn't be unable to pay for his mother's hospitalization, and would even find time to set up a stall to make money during the exam.

After much deliberation, Mu Chen still felt that the buddy was the most suspicious.

He asked, "Where is your guy?"

Di Lang: "It should be offline." He opened the panel while talking about the rampage of the Mojiao Beast. He was surprised to see An Jin online.

"Boss." Just as he was speaking, a clear and soft voice came from outside the door.

He turned his head, and saw that his trick was being held by the town's celebrity Team Tang. He was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "When you say you are inviting friends to barbecue, do you mean Team Tang?"

An Jin nodded and poked Norman's arm, Norman understood and put him down.

Mu Chen looked at Norman in surprise, then at An Jin, and then jokingly said, "Team Tang, why don't you introduce this boy to me?"

There was gossip in his eyes. When people in Siao mentioned His Majesty, the adjectives were always powerful, cold, serious, and reticent.

When did you see His Majesty hugging someone with a gentle look on his face?

Mu Chen is almost certain in his heart that His Majesty is secretly in love!

An Jin heard Mu Chen's joke, blushed slightly, and greeted politely: "Hi, I'm An An."

"An..." Mu Chen's voice paused, and he suddenly looked at Norman, and the words he uttered were very heavy, with a strong sense of questioning, "Ann?"

Norman nodded without changing his expression: "Yes, you are right."

Mu Chen took a deep breath and subconsciously looked at An Jin's feet.

It's the feet!

He felt that he had been strongly shocked, and even suspected that he was having an absurd dream.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Di Lang quietly grabbed An Jin's arm, pulled him aside, pointed at Mu Chen and whispered, "This is General Mu Chen. He said that our barbecue can restore mental strength, so he came to investigate."

What he said was a whisper, very softly, in order for An Jin to hear clearly, he almost whispered in An Jin's ear.

Seeing this, Norman frowned unconsciously.

An Jin was taken aback when he heard the words, but quickly calmed down again, thinking that the military department is really powerful and found out so quickly.

He wasn't used to being too close to people, so he took a step to the side and smiled at Di Lang, "It's okay."

Seeing that his reaction was flat, and he didn't look like he was caught doing a small trick, Di Lang muttered, "I'll say it must be a misunderstanding."

Mu Chen calmed down, walked to Norman, and whispered the discovery of the general to Norman.

Norman's gaze immediately fell on the young man's hand. The wound on the young man's hand was burnt from a barbecue!

A hint of annoyance appeared on his face. He actually forgot to give money to the little mermaid. The little mermaid was playing in the holographic world. If she wanted to eat, she couldn't buy it without money.

It must be because I have no money, I have to work part-time.

After Mu Chen finished the report, he said suddenly: "It's no wonder that the Ministry of Information couldn't find the information, and couldn't track the address. No wonder Di Lang said he was poor, illiterate, and couldn't speak well. I was surprised that Si Ao was so poor." The place."

Norman was even more annoyed. Thinking of his little mermaid working part-time to make money before he learned to speak, he couldn't help feeling distressed.

Mu Chen was still poking his heart: "Your Majesty, you are too stingy, and you don't even give An An pocket money." He looked at An Jin with bright eyes: "If Xiao Yin can talk to me through hologram, He's so obedient, I'll spend all my money on him!"

Norman said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that."

He has never been short of money since he was a child, and usually pays directly with his fingerprints or pupils. The process is almost silent, and he doesn't even feel that he has spent money at all.

He regarded the little mermaid as a teenager, but he was too impressed with the mermaid, and he never thought that the little mermaid needed money.

He opened the panel and transferred [-] million star coins to the little mermaid.

An Jin heard the notification sound, opened it, and saw that it was Norman's transfer reminder. He stared at the row of zeros behind him, startled, and quickly looked at Norman, wondering: "Why did you transfer the money to me?"

Norman: "I'll buy you something, tell me if you don't have enough money."

An Jin shook her head, transferred the money back, and said seriously: "You have already spent a lot of money for me, and now I can make money by myself."

He walked up to Norman, with a smug look in his eyes: "I baked the delicious barbecue you mentioned. When you invited me to dinner last time, I wanted to invite you back.

"I bought a lot of vegetables with yesterday's wages, you sit and wait, I will make barbecue for you."

Norman didn't move, and looked down at the boy: "You make money to treat me to dinner?"

"No." An Jin scratched the side of his face embarrassingly, "I'm going to buy some things."

Mu Chen's heart turned sour into lemons, Your Majesty is so lucky, the mermaid not only doesn't have to be coaxed to take the initiative to sing, but also makes money by himself, and treats guests to dinner!

Norman felt weak in his heart, and rubbed the top of the boy's head: "You don't need to work part-time. You should use my money for what you want to buy. It is right to spend money for you."

Although An Jin knew that Norman said this because he could provide mental power, his heartbeat still accelerated.

Looking at Norman's serious expression, he suddenly felt that what Little Silver said was right, they were not pets, but mermaid masters.

Norman will give him whatever he wants, he will not abuse him or abandon him, he will only treat him well, he doesn't have to worry about anything, what is this if he is not a master?

But he is not a real mermaid, he is a person with an independent personality, and he does not want to completely rely on others.

He smiled at Norman: "I like to make money by myself, I feel satisfied."

He pursed his lips, glanced at Mu Chen, then at Norman, and asked in a low voice, "Can I still work at a barbecue stall in the future?"

Norman pondered for a moment: "Do you like barbecue?"

An Jin frowned and thought for a while: "No," he squeezed his fingers shyly, "I only know how to grill."

"You can do what you like, what do you like?" Norman asked.

An Jin's heart moved, she thought for a while, but said nothing.

What he really wants to do makes sense only if he does it in reality, but in reality he is a mermaid.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Norman thought that he couldn't think of something he liked, so he said, "You are still young, and it is normal to not find something you like, and you will know later."

"Well," An Jin replied in a low voice, "Then can we continue to barbecue?"

Norman looked at the boy's fingers, and if the boy liked it, he would not stop him, but the boy clearly just wanted to make money, and he wanted the boy to change his job selfishly.

When Mu Chen saw that the topic had changed to barbecue, he said to Di Lang: "I found out that someone was investigating you, and found out about your mother. I had someone transfer your mother to the military hospital. She doesn't know anyone from me, so she might not feel at ease." , go and see her."

Di Lang's face changed suddenly: "Is it about the barbecue?"

Mu Chen nodded: "Don't worry, we have already controlled the person, and neither you nor your mother will be in danger."

Di Lang thanked him, greeted An Jin, and went offline.

Mu Chen closed the door, and smiled at An Jin when he came back: "Hello, An An, I am Mu Chen, the owner of Xiaoyin."

An Jin was stunned, no wonder he felt a little familiar, he smiled: "Hello."

His heart moved, thinking of Di Lang's mention of Mu Chen's identity, and of Mu Chen's attitude towards Norman, Mu Chen is an admiral, so what is Norman's identity?

He knew that Norman worked in the military, but he had no idea what his position was. He asked curiously, "Are you a general too?"

Norman nodded, An Jin's eyes lit up: "It's amazing."

With no outsiders, Mu Chen couldn't help but ask again: "An'an, do you know that the meat you roast has the effect of restoring mental strength?"

An Jin hesitated for a moment, thinking about his importance to Norman, without hiding anything, nodded: "Yes."

Mu Chen stepped forward excitedly: "How do you know?"

An Jin retreated subconsciously: "I passed on my spiritual power to them."

Norman reminded Mu Chen: "Calm down, don't scare An'an."

Mu Chen: "Sorry," he restrained his excitement, "You mean, you passed your mental power to the food?"

An Jin nodded, her eyes lit up: "They will become very delicious!"

He felt Mu Chen's friendly attitude and knew that Norman and him were good friends, so he said, "I'm going to bake something for Norman, do you want to come together?"

Mu Chen nodded quickly: "Okay."

An Jin thought that luckily he bought a lot of food, so he took out the food in the corner and put them on the table one by one: "Wait a while, it will be ready soon."

He opened the window as he spoke, and looked at Norman: "Can you help me move the grill to the window."

Norman moved the grill as he was told.

An Jin thanked him, and seeing that he was still standing, she asked him to sit and wait.

Norman: "Do you need help?"

An Jin shook her head: "No, the ingredients I bought are all pre-processed, just bake them."

He turned on the switch, put the difficult-to-cook food on the table first, brushed the oil and seasoned neatly.

While looking curiously, Mu Chen discussed with Norman in a low voice: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter?" He said with a sigh, "Many people in the military are looking forward to it, thinking that someone has the ability to make food restore spiritual power, I didn’t expect it to be related to mermaids.”

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "No wonder you were surprised when you said that An An entered the holographic world. I'm still surprised now. Is he really An An?"

"Yes," Norman said, "a solid-colored merman and probably closer to a human than a fish."

Mu Chen looked at An Jin's neat movements and nodded in agreement: "Do you want to announce it?"

Norman looked at the little mermaid and pondered for a moment: "No, the mermaid is precious enough, there is no need to add a bargaining chip to those who have bad intentions."

Mu Chen said: "I'm afraid I can't hide it. Other than the military department, other people also discovered the effect of barbecue. Those people were worried about Di Lang and An An, and they were warned by my people."

Norman: "Let Holographic Company announce the bug." Thinking of the little mermaid's previous silence, he said, "The bug is kept as a benefit of the Holographic World. When An'an doesn't want to barbecue, the benefit will be cancelled."

Mu Chen: "Are you still going to let An'an barbecue make money?"

Norman was a little helpless: "As he likes," he paused, "negotiate a good price with Holographic."

Mu Chen agreed: "The barbecue of a solid-colored mermaid can't be too cheap."

At this moment, the aroma of barbecue came out, the rich meat aroma and sweet corn, mixed with spicy and sweet, stimulated people to salivate uncontrollably.

Mu Chen took a deep breath: "This is too delicious! I didn't go online to buy skewers before, I'm so lucky."

An Jin grilled the star beast meat that Norman ordered last time, put it on a plate, handed it to Norman, and said expectantly, "Try it, if it tastes good."

Norman stared at the meat. Unexpectedly, the little mermaid still remembered the dish he had ordered, and her heart was soft. She took a bite of the meat, and the pure meat fragrance spread in her mouth, with a slight sourness: "It's delicious."

An Jin's eyes were bent: "Last time I ate, I think you don't seem to like spicy food very much, the taste is sour, you only gave a little chili and a little lemon juice when roasting."

Norman was slightly stunned. He didn't expect the little mermaid to notice it. This feeling of being taken care of made him feel strange and warm.
