Little shark doesn't want to work hard

The fortress of the Mermaid Kingdom is like a huge bowl made of stones and turned upside down on the bottom of the sea.

The giant bowl presents a concentric circle structure, nested up and down, layer upon layer.The pathways of the mermaid country are connected by pipelines, and in the pipelines, shuttle boats travel along fixed tracks, quickly sending the mermaids to the places they need to arrive at.

These shuttle boats are also connected to some waterways outside the fortress, conducting trade with the human world in all directions.

Su Su and the little mermaid boarded a small sea-blue private shuttle boat.This shuttle boat can accommodate four people at a time and travels on a fixed track without a driver.

"This is built on the basis of the subway technology of ancient humans. It has been built almost 100 years ago. I have to say that humans can indeed invent some good things that provide convenience." Pass the middle circle and help Su Su fix it: "The high priest lives in a remote place. It would take three or four hours to swim by himself, but it only takes two to ten minutes by shuttle boat."

The shuttle boat is closed, the sea water inside and outside is separated, the machine is started, and it moves rapidly along the transparent pipe.Outside the window, the scenery quickly reversed, forming a bizarre picture.

Is this the civilization that belongs to the human world?Su Su felt the speed of the shuttle boat obsessively. This is only underwater. I heard that they have researched faster and more powerful mobile devices on land and in space.What would it be like to sit in a machine like that?

The high priest lives in a cave under the sea, surrounded by mermaid guards guarding the gate.The furnishings in the house are completely different from those on the bottom of the sea. Su Su has never seen such things in the sea, but he has seen some in the chip textbook.For example, the one in the corner should be called the medical cabin, which is used to treat people.

And that thing on the high priest's table, called an optical brain, seems to be connected to the network of the human world.There is a virtual world on it.

On the wall behind her, there is also a huge projection screen, above which is the public area of ​​Mermaid Fortress.

"The priest's grandma lived in the human world for a while, and she has always encouraged us to learn the human way of life." Yi Qing took the initiative to introduce: "Her own residence is modeled after her previous residence in the human world."

Is this where humans live?Su Su looked around curiously. The sofa, cabinet, and decorations all seemed novel.

The high priest who heard the two approaching turned around and looked at them.

The high priest is a beautiful and mature female mermaid. According to Yiqing, she is the oldest mermaid in the clan, over 300 years old.

There is no trace of age on her face, her hair is silver like moonlight, and like her tail, it exudes a sense of holy beauty.But at the place of her shoulder blade, there was a deep penetrating scar, and a large piece of flesh was missing from the fish's tail, exposing a hideous wound that could not heal.

The mermaid itself is a very beautiful race, but she doesn't care about these wounds that destroy the beauty, and shows them openly, allowing others to look at them.

Her eyes are as blue as the sea, but there are golden fragments of light, as if the sun is shining on the sea, and when her eyes fall, it seems that the sun is shining together, with a warm and bright power .

"Grandma Priest, I want to ask you something." Yi Qing said straight to the point.

"If it's for your marriage, it's your father's opinion. I'm afraid I can't help you much." The high priest smiled and shook his head.

Yi Qing's eyes showed a bit of disappointment, it was obvious that she had originally planned to come this time.

"But don't rush to be sad. The encounters in life are full of chances, and things may not develop as you think. Why don't you talk about other things first, maybe I can help a little, such as this friend you brought." The high priest looked gently at the mermaid shark in front of him.

Su Su and the high priest looked at each other, and he saw that there seemed to be brilliance flowing in those eyes, shining all the way into the depths of his heart.At that moment, Su Su felt as if he had been seen through, his desire at this moment, his past, and even the future.

"Do you want to become a mermaid and live in the human world?"

Su Su was stunned for a moment.Why did the other party know what I was thinking before I even spoke?Is this the ability of the gods?

The high priest's smile became real: "Don't think about it, it's not difficult to guess. The mermaid species here basically only have this purpose. Also, your mental power fluctuations are... lively. I have a better perception of mental power than ordinary mermaids. A little more sensitive, so you can pick up a part of your emotions."

It really is the ability of gods.

Su Su thought confidently.

But the more powerful the high priest, the happier he is, because it proves that the possibility of his wish being fulfilled increases.

[Can you really help me? 】Su Su looked at the other party impatiently, his eyes expectant and firm.

"I can indeed provide you with some help, but whether this matter will succeed depends on you." The high priest took out a metal box the size of a palm.

He opened the box and showed Su Su the contents inside.

Su Su swam forward and poked his head to look into the box, where there were seven capsules lined up side by side.

"This is the medicine that can turn a mermaid into a mermaid. Just bite a piece and swallow it, it can activate the mermaid blood in the body and change the appearance of a mermaid."

[There is such a medicine? 】Su Su was ecstatic, and he couldn't wait to snatch the box. It looked as if he wanted to bite the box and all the medicine into pieces and eat it in his stomach immediately.

"Don't worry, I still have a few words to ask you." The high priest closed the lid of the box, put his fingertips on Su Su's nose that was about to rush in front of her, and pushed back: "What did you mean just now?" , you yearn to live in the human world, and therefore want to become a mermaid, right?"

【right. 】Su Su flicked his tail and answered in a positive tone.And I added in my heart: I yearn for a life where I can have enough food.

The high priest asked again: "So, do you want to become a mermaid or a human?"

Su Su was a little confused by the question. The judgment questions were easy to answer, but the multiple-choice questions were not easy to do. If he made a mistake, would the high priest not give him the medicine.So Su Su asked cautiously: "Is there any difference? Anyway, after the mermaid marries a human, won't they all become human?"

"Of course it's different." The high priest said, but did not give a more detailed explanation.

"Then...human beings." Su Su thought about it for a while, and said in obedience to his inner voice.Although it was impossible for him to completely distinguish the difference between these changes, there seemed to be a small expectation in his heart, echoing his curiosity and desire for the human world for so many years.

There was a look of understanding in the eyes of the high priest, and he pushed the medicine box in his hand towards Su Su, and explained:

"Mermaids, like mermaids, have multiple genetic samples of humans and fish. But unlike mermaids, the mermaid's double genes will remain until adulthood, and will begin to evolve after she chooses her own way of life. One becomes dominant, the other hides."

"As for the mermaid species, the genes belonging to humans were instinctively hidden from the very beginning."

"The mermaid medicine was invented to reversely restore this genetic change, but the restoration is not smooth. The mermaid medicine is only a catalyst. The occurrence of this change requires one's own strength and strong spiritual strength."

"If you want to become a mermaid and finally obtain a stable human form, you must have a stronger desire than ordinary mermaids to fully activate the human genes in your body. Only when you agree with it from the bottom of your heart and have a strong desire to become a human Only when this mermaid medicine really takes effect can it help you fulfill your wish."

【Well, I'm sure it's fine, I have a super strong wish. 】Su Su said confidently.

Su Su didn't take the high priest's warning to heart, swept the lid off with his tail, sucked one of the capsules into his mouth, crushed it in one bite, and swallowed it into his stomach.

It took a while for the medicine to take effect, and Su Su suddenly felt a little sleepy.Although he was still breathing and swimming, Su Su's consciousness had gone dormant at this time.

The high priest pressed a switch, and the ceiling split in the middle, and a transparent gauze wrapped Su Su and pulled it to the room on the upper floor.

Looking away at Su Su, who was in the dream of transforming into a mermaid, Yi Qing looked at the high priest hesitantly.

"What do you want to ask?" The high priest looked at her gently.

"High Priest, why did you give him that medicine? Hasn't that medicine never worked?" Yi Qing hesitated.

With her new friend on the one hand and the high priest she respects on the other, Yi Qing was a little embarrassed.

Although it is difficult to understand, seeing Su Su looking forward to becoming a human being like that, she also hopes that his wish will come true.

However, the mermaid medicine given to Su Su by the high priest has never actually been effective. When it was first developed, many mermaid species did come to ask for the medicine, but without exception, after the change, they all showed a certain degree of pain. , and return to the original biological form within one month.

Later, this mermaid drug was discontinued and replaced by a new drug.The new drug is stable, with a success rate of 90.00% and no other side effects.

Of course, the new drug is not without its flaws. After the new drug helps the mermaid species to transform into a mermaid, the mermaid is just a mermaid. There is no possibility of differentiation, it cannot become a human, and it will not return to its original biological form.

But human beings raise mermaids, in addition to breeding offspring, there are also needs for viewing and companionship. This kind of mermaid does not need to become a human being, but it would be better if the mermaid can be kept in the form of a mermaid forever.Therefore, once new drugs come out, they quickly replace old drugs.

Su Su is a male shark. After turning into a mermaid, he cannot give birth to humans.Nature has no reason to become human.

Yi Qing didn't understand why the High Priest didn't give Su Su the more stable and reliable new medicine, but instead took out the old medicine that had been discontinued and would not succeed at all?

"His spiritual talent is far superior to that of ordinary mermaids. He may not be able to use medicines that other mermaids cannot use."

Yi Qing asked blankly: "But why do you want to try? Obviously there is an easier way, isn't there?"

The high priest raised his head, as if he was looking at Su Su who was sleeping soundly upstairs, and seemed to be looking at something farther away: "Did you see his eyes? The fire burning in those eyes seemed to be coming from the sea , burning all the way to the sky. There is no way to keep him in the water, and he is destined to go where the fish's tail cannot swim."

"An existence like him, once he sees the civilization of the human world, how can he be willing to be a mermaid for people to watch and be kept in a pond forever to be fed. That's not helping him, it's hurting him."

Really?Yi Qing recalled Su Su's comment about wanting to be raised in a pond with salted fish, and thought that Su Su was the type who wanted nothing more than to feed him.

Besides, is the human world really that good?Even if there is, it is for humans, but she knows that mermaids are only treated a little higher than pets in the human world.Even if they grow legs, they cannot freely move in and out of the human world.

"I still don't understand." Yi Qing said, "You don't seem like someone who would meddle in this kind of business."

The high priest has lived in seclusion for the past 300 years. Except for a few descendants of the royal family, he is alienated from others and does not care about the world.Why are you so concerned about a mermaid species you met for the first time, and even changed the other party's medicine on your own initiative.

"How do you know that this will be a nostalgia?" The high priest looked at the young princess: "Su Su is special, he is neither a mermaid nor a human being, but he can be both at the same time. He sees a possibility in him. The odds are slim, but it's worth a shot."

This sentence was a bit meaningful, it seemed to be referring to Su Su's transformation into a mermaid, but it seemed to be referring to something else.

Yiqing wanted to ask again.

But the high priest had already leaned against the back of the soft chair, closed his eyes, and seemed to be asleep.

"Wow!!" Su Su straightened himself up and bounced off the bed.

The silver tail still maintains its original appearance, swinging instinctively in the water, but the upper body has turned into a human body.

He stared at his two palms: Is this... a success?

He clumsily paddled the water with both hands like fins, swayed and moved his body away from the bed.

The smooth and clean ground reflected the shadow of a fish tail.

The man looked very young, with a vague temperament between a youth and a teenager. His long silver-blue hair hung loose behind him, his skin was as white as snow, his lips were bright red, and his face was small and delicate. The aesthetic feeling of impact seems to carry the inherent lust and temptation.

That kind of temptation can even surpass gender, it is the type that makes people's heart beat faster and mouth dry at a glance.

Beauty who are you?

Su Su looked at the shadow and tilted his head, and the shadow also looked at him and made the same movement.

Su Su stared blankly.

This...is himself?
