I Was Raised After Being a Mermaid

An Jin propped his chin to think back, his eyes swept back and forth beside the small tree bud, and after seeing the obviously newer soil next to it and nearby, he finally confirmed that the small tree bud was planted by him.

When the pool was just built, he saw a seed, which was later removed from the impurities and planted in the soil with water power.

It has broken through the ground and grown into small tree buds!

An Jin witnessed the new life, and even his merits, and his mood instantly became joyful. The blue tail swung briskly, splashing tiny water splashes, reflecting the dazzling light.

He looked at the saplings and thought, maybe his guess at the time was right, as long as the seeds had no impurities, the plants that grew would also have no impurities.

His eyes lit up. In this case, purifying the seeds directly and solving the problem from the root is much more efficient than purifying food.

But...he looked at the ground, the housekeeper cleaned the garden every day, but there were always fruits and leaves falling on the ground. In his eyes, the ground and the soil were full of impurities.

He looked at the little tree bud again. In his vision, the little tree bud had no impurities at all, but what about the roots?

He thought for a while, supported the shore with his arms, and with a little force, he quickly climbed up the shore and came to the small sapling.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to pull up the sapling to check the root system, but worried about hurting the sapling, he paused.

He looked left and right, couldn't find a branch that would serve as a shovel, and finally his eyes fell on his long, sharp nails.

With his palm facing up, he used his nails as a shovel, carefully shoveled the soil around the small tree bud, drew a circle around the small tree bud, worked for a long time, and finally picked up all the soil and the small tree bud that wrapped the small tree bud.

With his fingertips, he scraped off the soil bit by bit from the edge. At the back, he operated the water ability to simulate a nozzle spraying water mist, removing the soil bit by bit, and finally exposed the complete root system of the small tree bud.

An Jin's eyes dimmed. There were black spots at the bottom of the root system of the small tree buds, which became denser as they went down. There were only sporadic ones on the top, as if spreading from the bottom to the top.

Seeing this, he guessed that while the roots absorbed nutrients, they also absorbed impurities in the soil.

The impurities in the soil are likely to come from the fallen leaves and fruits of plants.

He has only seen impurities in animals and plants. The impurities in this world will most likely only exist in plants or animals, and will not appear in non-living objects, such as water and air.

Think about it too, if there are impurities in the air even in the water, the planet may be lifeless and lifeless.

Of course, the current situation is not optimistic, after all, animals and plants are the source of human food.

So, if the soil has no impurities, will the seeds without impurities grow up pure?

An Jin thought for a while, and then operated the water ability to purify the soil within two meters in diameter near the sapling, as well as all the flowers, plants and trees.

Then, he removed the impurities in the roots of the young saplings, and carefully planted them back.

Back at the pool, he cleans himself with water powers and jumps into the water.

The tail swung deftly, and the blue scales were shining beautifully under the sunlight. He scratched the water with both hands, got into the water, and swam into the room from the passage.

He picked up a cantaloupe, left the melon seeds after eating, then returned to the garden, used the water power to form a water arrow, and the water arrow shot to the ground to dig a hole and planted all the melon seeds.

After thinking about it, he swam back indoors, opened up all the fruits and vegetables, got a bunch of seeds, and planted them all in the garden.

It's too imprecise to observe only one sapling bud. Plant some seeds. In case the sapling dies young, there will be other observation objects.

An Jin praised her prudence, looking at the crops of new mud in the green grass, she felt a little guilty.

But thinking of his purpose and full of confidence, Norman will definitely not be angry!

He went back indoors and continued to watch videos to learn to recognize characters, and he didn't stop until noon.

After eating Chinese food, he swam in the garden for a while to digest his food, returned to the room, relaxed and floated on his back in the water, put on his helmet and entered the holographic world.

He looked at the spacious room in front of him, and was stunned for a moment. He suspected that there was a bug in the system and his location was misreported.

The house he rented in Dilang was off the assembly line. The room was very ordinary and small in size. It was difficult to rent out because of the remoteness, and it looked old.

And the room he was in now was new and spacious, obviously not the one before.

He was about to check the location, when he heard the movement, he turned his head and looked over.

Di Lang ran out from the next room and ran to him in less than two seconds.

"You..." Di Lang's expression was tangled, "You really discovered the bug that the barbecue becomes delicious and has the effect of restoring mental power? You negotiated with the Holographic Company and asked him to hire us all?"

An Jin was at a loss for a moment, and quickly figured it out, nodded: "En."

Di Lang sighed: "It's really lucky for me to hire you as a buddy."

An Jin said seriously: "I am very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to work."

Di Lang was a little embarrassed, so he leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "It's true that the Holographic Company doesn't hold you accountable, and allows you to continue making money?"

"Ah."

Di Lang let out a sigh of relief: "That's good, but I heard that as long as someone finds a bug in Hologram Company, they will get a high bonus. Do they give you a bonus?"

An Jin didn't know there was such a thing, but the bug was originally an excuse. Norman explained it to him, it was to protect him, exposing his ability would cause others to covet him.

He didn't want Diran to think about it, so he nodded, "Yes."

Di Lang: "That's about the same," he patted his chest, "Don't worry, I've already signed the contract, and I will never reveal that the bug was discovered by you."

An Jin smiled: "I believe in you."

Di Lang looked at him, hesitated for a while, brushed his hair, and said with determination: "This store has a holographic company responsible for the delivery, and you can do it alone. I seem to be eating and drinking. I'm not going to Stay, or prepare to set up your own stall."

Before, he spent money to buy the hardware of the stall. He didn't grill the skewers, but he did the marinating, collecting money, packing and finishing.

Now, the holographic company has rebuilt the rented house and replaced the barbecue with the latest model. During the whole process, all he needs to do is marinate.

Ready in less than half an hour.

And his pickling method can be easily found on Xingwang. It is very common and has no technical content.

The gap between income and payment is too large, and he can't take money with peace of mind.

He thought for a while and said, "If I can't find someone to marinate for a while, I can continue to do it for a few days."

After thinking about it, An Jin said: "You want to open a barbecue stall, and your barbecue skills are not bad, right?"

Di Lang: "It's not bad, it's far worse than you."

An Jin shook her head: "Not necessarily, you also know that the food I bake is delicious, mainly because of bugs."

"Actually, I've been a little busy recently and I want you to bake." An Jin said.

Norman bought him a brain and a beast core.

Although he didn't know why the beast core arrived slower than the wisdom brain, he estimated that it would arrive today at the latest.

After getting the beast core, he immediately wanted to upgrade his ability. The later the ability, the more difficult it was to upgrade. He needed continuous training to master the ability to control water.

Although his life is very stable now, after experiencing the end of the world, he always has a sense of crisis.

He is very clear that no matter when, his own strength is the most important, as long as he is strong enough, he can deal with any emergencies.

After the end of the world, except for a lucky few, the vast majority of those who can survive are capable people.

Di Lang was surprised and looked at him: "You didn't say that on purpose for me, did you?"

An Jin smiled: "No," he said one of the reasons, "I want to learn to read."

Di Lang quickly said, "Study is the most important thing! That's right, you got the bonus, so you should study hard." He looked at An Jin, "Honestly, how old are you?"

An Jin: "Twenty."

"Cut." Di Lang expressed disbelief.

An Jin and Di Lang agreed that Di Lang will be in charge of all barbecues in the future, and the raw materials will be provided by Holographic Company.

He removed all the impurities from today's skewers and condiments, and asked Di Lang to go to the barbecue room to grill skewers.

He goes offline and contacts Norman.

Norman is fighting against Yiluo, the captain of the second team of the guards, on the training ground.

The special reminder sounded, and Norman no longer used his moves for the purpose of teaching, and ended the battle with a chokehold, and let Yi Luo go to the side to pick up the communication.

Yi Luo shook his arms to relax, the team members surrounded him, his eyes sparkled, "Your Majesty's last move is so handsome, I can't even see clearly!"

One person's tone was full of surprise, and he whispered, "Look at Your Majesty, my God, what a gentle expression."

Several people didn't dare to discuss it, but they all expressed a message in their eyes: His Majesty must be in love!

Norman looked at the little mermaid on the screen, slightly surprised: "An'an, what's wrong?"

An Jin told about the holographic world: "I think in the future, I will only remove impurities, and no more grilling."

Norman always felt that grilling would tire the little mermaid, and he agreed with this very much: "Okay," he added, "It's okay if you don't want to remove impurities, if you don't like it, don't do it."

An Jin smiled: "I like it."

It’s quick and easy for him to remove only impurities, and he can make money. It’s the perfect job.

After he finished talking about the business, he looked at Norman with some curiosity. Norman was wearing a uniform shirt, his black hair was slightly wet, and hung on his forehead. His wheat-colored skin was stained with sweat, and his hormonal atmosphere was very strong.

"Did I bother you?" He bit his lower lip, a little annoyed.

"No," Norman said.

An Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then put a serious face on her face, and said seriously: "I will pay attention in the future." He shaved the side of his face embarrassingly, "I will send you a message after I can read."

Having said that, he patted his forehead: "I'm so stupid, I can convert voice to text!"

A smile flashed in Norman's eyes: "An'an is very powerful," he said in a serious voice, "Don't hit yourself, be careful of injury."

An Jin whispered, "No," he waved his hand, "I won't bother you, see you tonight."

Norman's heart moved. For the first time in many years, he was looking forward to returning to the palace. His tone was gentle: "See you tonight."

An Jin hung up the communication, turned on Brain, and tried the voice-to-text function, and the conversion was very accurate.

He was a little moved and wanted to send a message to Norman, but he was worried about disturbing Norman, so he pressed the idea.

05:30pm, Norman returns to the palace

He changed from his military uniform to a set of casual clothes, and walked towards the mermaid room.

An Jin was watching the teaching video when she felt Norman approaching the room, so she swam to the pool and looked at the door.

After a while, the door opened, and Norman was holding a light blue metal box in his hand, and walked up to him to put it down.

An Jin looked at the box curiously, and Norman said, "Open it and have a look."

An Jin opened it, and his eyes were filled with colorful colors instantly. His eyes were shaken, he closed them slightly, and opened them again, his eyes brightened.

The box is full of animal cores, divided into two in the middle, and the second and third level animal cores are separated.

He took out a second-level beast core, especially wanting to absorb energy right now.

His water ability has reached the peak level, and after absorbing energy, he can upgrade.

He looked at Norman, holding down his impulse, and had to wait for Norman to leave.

Seeing that the little mermaid liked it, Norman picked up the colored thread placed on the side, picked out a blue one from the inside, and stretched out his hand: "An'an, give it to me."

An Jin blinked suspiciously, and passed the beast core in his hand.

Norman took it, and passed the blue thread through the small hole at the top of the animal core: "The animal core is very hard, and it took a long time to process these thread holes. General goods can be delivered within a quarter of an hour after placing an order."

An Jin suddenly realized that the smart brain was delivered very quickly before, and the beast core took more than ten hours to arrive.

It's just...Norman seems to have misunderstood something, he didn't buy the beast core because it looks good!

Norman put the beast core through the thread, held both ends of the thread with both hands, and stretched out his hand to the little mermaid: "An'an, bow your head."

An Jin immediately understood what Norman wanted to do.

He looked at the palm-sized dark blue animal core in the middle of the vertical line, and immediately shook his head when he thought of the animal core hanging in front of him.

It feels silly.

The beast core looks like a gemstone. Although the color is more restrained and matte, it is still very conspicuous at first glance.

Hanging on the body like this, I was stunned.

Norman glanced at the beast core, then at the little mermaid: "Don't you like this?"

He withdrew his hand and pointed to the box: "Choose one you like, and I'll put it on for you," he told the little mermaid earnestly, "This way it won't fall off."

An Jin: "..." She was really thoughtful.

However, these beast cores will definitely disappear slowly and must be lost.

He became more determined in his refusal. After thinking for a while, he took out a palm-sized red third-level animal core, stretched it towards Norman, and compared the animal core to Norman's chest, next to Norman's second button.

"Bah!" An Jin almost had a conditioned reflex, expressing his dislike concisely and clearly. The next moment he came to his senses, he added in interstellar language, "Ugly."

Norman looked at the little mermaid's disdainful frown, with a smile in his eyes.

He respected the little mermaid's aesthetics, and put the rope back into the box: "Then don't wear it, and buy it after dropping it."

An Jin immediately smiled at him, thought for a moment, and grabbed Norman's left hand. Norman followed his will and turned his hand with his force, palm up.

An Jin put a blue beast core in Norman's hand, observed Norman's reaction, and moved Norman's finger to let him hold the beast core.

Norman held the beast core tightly, his eyes became softer: "Give it to me?"

An Jin nodded: "Yes."

He was a little disappointed, and felt that as expected, Norman didn't seem to be able to feel the energy of the beast core. In this case, he would not be able to obtain energy from the beast core.

Think about it too, if it was possible, the mermaid would not be so important.

Norman received the gift from the little mermaid, and carefully put it into the backpack in the carry-on space.

Seeing him like this, An Jin felt a little guilty, secretly decided to wait for Norman's birthday, and must carefully prepare a gift for Norman.

Looking at the box full of beast cores, he was very happy and wanted to give back to Norman.

He pulled Norman's sleeve and shook it, pointing to the shore full of food, his chin slightly raised, a little proud: "Everything has become delicious, I'll eat it for you."

Norman was slightly startled, and looked at the little mermaid: "Are you feeling unwell?"

An Jin shook her head, let go of his hand, swam around in the water, surfaced and looked up at him: "I'm fine."

Norman rubbed the top of his head: "Thank you An'an, play for a while, I'll deal with the food."

An Jin nodded, seeing that the food disappeared one by one after he approached, and asked curiously, "Why did they disappear?"

"Spatial backpack," Norman said, "Your brain also has one. I'll teach you how to use it later."

Quietly and happily wagged her tail: "Thank you."

Norman thought, the little mermaid is really too obedient and sensible, too easy to be satisfied.

After collecting the food, he left the mermaid room and went to the kitchen. The kitchen was empty except for a nutrient machine.

All the food, because there are no impurities and no loss, has been made into six nutritional supplements, or it is more accurate to say that it is a powerful soothing medicine.

These nutrients are used to provide mental energy, not to provide physical energy.

Norman put the nutritional supplements away, thinking flashed in his eyes, there are nine armies in Suo, six of which are not enough to divide evenly.

However, the amount of food purified by the little mermaid today has exceeded his expectations, so save it for a few more days and see what happens.

He turned his gaze and landed on the residue processed by the machine. Seeing the melon seeds and fruit cores in it, his expression moved slightly.

Not long after, the Soo Botanical Research Institute was boiling.

The dean and the five oldest professors in the school gathered around to check the data, all of them looked shocked.

"My God, it's really not polluted!"

"It's a pure seed."

"Dean, where did this come from?" Someone asked excitedly.

Dean Ke Lai kept a secretive expression on his face, bearing in mind the chief guard's warning, obviously very excited in his heart, but said lightly: "I got it by accident."

He glanced at the professors: "Go to the conference room and discuss how to cultivate them."

·

When Norman returned to the mermaid room, the little mermaid was having dinner.

Seeing him, An Jin picked up a plump fish, sliced ​​the fish neatly, squeezed some lemon juice on it, and pushed it to Norman: "It's delicious, try it .”

Norman glanced at the lemon, and his heart moved slightly. The little mermaid always remembered his taste.

He met the expectant eyes of the little mermaid, ate the fish fillet, and his eyes shone brightly: "Thank you An'an, it's delicious."

The fish is tender and juicy, and the slightly acidic lemon suppresses the fishy smell, making it very delicious.

For the first time, he knew that raw fish can be so delicious.

Seeing that he liked it, An Jin rolled her eyes and was very happy.

After Norman finished eating the sashimi, his brain rang. After reading the message, he said to the little mermaid, "Someone will come later, I'll take you upstairs first."

An Jin reached out to Norman cooperatively, and Norman leaned over to stop the little mermaid's shoulder, and with a little force, picked up the little mermaid and grabbed the little mermaid's tail.

An Jin is very familiar with this position, knowing that his tail is slippery, so he put his hands on his stomach obediently, without struggling at all.

Norman looked down at the little mermaid, thinking that the little mermaid was too cute.

An Jin raised her eyes, her crystal clear blue eyes were filled with doubt and curiosity: "Can't others see me?"

He had doubts before, every time someone outside entered the mermaid room, Norman would always take him away.

Norman nodded: "Not yet," he explained briefly as he walked, "I'm on the blacklist, and there are still more than three months before I can participate in the mermaid auction."

An Jin suddenly realized, no wonder Norman used another face when he auctioned and took him out.

He was a little curious: "Why is it on the blacklist?"

Originally, Norman was afraid of scaring the little mermaid, so he concealed the specific reason. Seeing his inquiry, he no longer concealed it: "Little Silver's hand was broken because of me."

After that, he gave Xiaoyin to Mu Chen as a gift. Mu Chen passed the assessment of the scientific research association and successfully raised Xiaoyin, but he was blacklisted by the scientific research institute.

Xiaoyin stared at the severed hand every day to hold grudges, and didn't forget it until the last time they met.

An Jin finally understood why Xiaoyin was so irritable to Norman when he first met Xiaoyin.

He subconsciously grasped his wrist.

Norman glanced at his hand and explained: "At that time, he was pretending to be good and attacked me suddenly while I was not paying attention. I had a strong sense of fighting and subconsciously fought back. He was too angry and hit my arm with too much force."

An Jin took a deep breath, thinking of that scene made her feel pain, and felt that Xiao Yin was really miserable.

He looked at Norman's sharp jawline and thought to himself, Norman is also miserable, so he was blacklisted.

Norman put him in the bathtub and rubbed the top of his hair: "Don't be afraid of me, I won't hurt you."

An Jin looked at him and smiled: "I'm not afraid."

With gentle eyes, Norman got up and turned on the water, waited for the water to submerge the little mermaid, and then turned off the switch.

Ten minutes later, Norman went downstairs with the little mermaid in his arms.

As soon as he entered the room, An Jin saw a white wardrobe next to the bathroom. The wardrobe was about two meters long and was just stuck between the wall of the room and the wall of the bathroom.

Norman walked over with him in his arms, and the closet sensor door slid open from the middle to both sides, and the closet was full of coats of various styles and colors.

An Jin was stunned for a moment. When he saw the clothes inside, he knew it was his size and it was specially prepared for him.

He was moved and turned to look at Norman: "Thank you."

Norman was too good for him.

Norman put down his fishtail. He was startled, and subconsciously grabbed Norman's skirt. Before the tail touched the ground, his waist tightened, and the hand on his shoulder crossed his chest, and then his whole body was caught. Lifted it up.

Almost instantly, An Jin changed from being hugged horizontally to being hugged vertically, with the lower end of her tail dragging on the ground.

An Jin lowered his head and glanced, his tail was tilted back, the tail fin was folded [-] centimeters above, and the fish scales touched the ground.

He patted the back of Norman's hand wrapped around his stomach with his fingertips: "Let go of me, I can stand still."

Norman was slightly startled, looked down at the little mermaid's tail, then let go of his left hand, his right hand was still lying across the little mermaid's chest, and the palm of his hand was stuck under the little mermaid's left armpit to prevent the little mermaid from slipping.

The temperature of An Jin's body is lower than that of the human body, and the temperature in Norman's palm is too hot for him, and the sense of presence is too strong.

He tilted his head and lifted it slightly, looked at Norman, and grabbed Norman's hand: "You can take your right hand away, and I'll just hold your hand."

Norman cautiously let go of his right hand and moved it slowly to prevent the little mermaid from slipping and protect it in time.

He handed his left hand to the little mermaid, and the little mermaid's palm rested on his arm. She didn't hold it, just clasped it, as if worried that her nails would hurt him, and raised her fingers slightly.

The little mermaid's palms were soft and slightly cool, her five fingers were long and fair.

An Jin supported Norman's arm, straightened her back, left Norman, and stood upright alone.

He has practiced this posture many times before to open the door. As long as there is a support, he can stand very steadily, his tail is very strong, and he does not feel tired when supporting his body.

He turned to look at Norman, glanced at his arm, and asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired," Norman glanced at his fish tail: "I can hold you all the time, is your tail tired?"

An Jin shook her head, eyes bent: "I like to stand."

He said, frowning in distress: "It's just that I can't move when I'm standing."

Norman thought for a moment, rubbed the top of his head, and comforted him: "I have a way."

As he said, he turned on his brain to place an order.
