Baili Xin's eyes fell on Lin Xiao's plate, which was filled with healthy vegetables and fruits, without any diced meat.
As if noticing Baili Xin's gaze, Lin Xiao patiently said, "Before, because of my poor health and poor digestive system, I couldn't eat meat products. As time went by, I felt like vomiting when I smelled meat, so I was forced to become a vegetarian. This habit has not changed even after I came here."
"Look at me, I've been talking to myself all the time. I don't know if you are interested in what I'm saying." Lin Xiao, the man in the suit, chuckled and changed the subject. "Why don't we talk about the mission?"
Glasses pushed his glasses up nervously, "Okay, okay. Let me start by saying that I have completed 10 of Task 2. This 10 is because I helped the NPC doctor complete a data integration calculation. So, the rule of Task 2 is to complete the tasks assigned to you by the NPC."
"I don't know what will happen next, but at the moment, it seems that the risk factor is not very high."
"There is a third task, to find the faith of the mermaids. Last night, when Xia Chi and I were out to sea with the NPCs in a submarine, they talked about the topic of "faith" in the submarine. This "faith" should be the faith we are looking for. But even though I heard them mention it at that time, the progress bar didn't change. It seems that just listening is not enough. We still have to find the faith of the mermaids. This is all I know. It's not a lot of information. I hope you don't mind it."
After Glasses finished speaking carefully, he sat upright and looked very nervous.
When he sits, he hides behind his glasses
Seeing Baili Xin looking at him, Glasses' cheeks turned red and he quickly looked away.
s419m: Tsk tsk tsk, our Miserable God of Bad Luck is so charming, look how this little girl is bewitched and infatuated. Fortunately, our Lord God can't see it, if the Lord God sees it, he will definitely lock Lord Miserable God in a room and teach him a lesson of love.
Oh, look at my memory, how come Lord God didn't see it? Doesn't he always check the screen every time Lord God of Luck goes to the dungeon
Blissin: …
Is your skin itchy
Escape System: But, to be honest, Lord God is such a perfect person, he shouldn't be so petty as to be jealous, right? It's understandable that a perfect person like Lord Baili Xin has many admirers. If Lord God treats Lord Baili Xin like this just because there is an admirer, isn't he a little petty
s419m: You don't understand this, it's called the real purpose is not to drink, jealousy is just an excuse, the real purpose is to be close to each other.
Blissin: …
There's no room for you in my head now, is there
Man in suit: "Regarding faith, I have made some progress."
As he spoke, he took out a mobile phone from his backpack. The phone's functions were basically still usable except for making calls and surfing the Internet.
He looked around cautiously, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to them, he opened the photo album, opened a photo and placed it in the middle of the table, "Look at this, I found this when I was sorting out the data room. The NPC was also around at the time, so I quickly took a photo."
Baili Xin squinted at his phone. There was a blurry photo on the screen. It looked like the photo was taken at the bottom of the sea. The overall picture was a dark gray-blue. In the blurry picture, a stone statue could be vaguely seen standing there.
This stone statue was not the two he saw last night, but another one. This stone statue was covered with more algae and other marine plants, covering the entire face of the statue. He could only vaguely recognize that it was a mermaid statue through the statue's shape.
There are no other reference objects in the photo except the stone statue, and the water plants are blurry and cannot be used as a reference to determine the specific size of the stone statue.
Glasses lowered his voice and whispered in a voice that only the four of them could hear, "Is this what mermaids believe in?"
Men in suits:
"At least it's a direction, right?"
A prompt sound suddenly appeared in Baili Xin's mind.
Ding! Congratulations to the player, new progress has appeared in Task 3, and the progress has increased by 5.
Congratulations to the player, the total progress of Task 3 has reached 35. Please keep up the good work, you will soon find the answer and victory is just around the corner.
One photo increases the progress by 5, which seems to be a good direction.
Xia Chi and Yan Jing on the opposite side showed surprised expressions on their faces at the same time. It was obvious that in addition to themselves, they also heard the system prompt sound.
The man with glasses and the man in the suit finished speaking and their eyes fell on Baili Xin.
Baili Xin hesitated for two seconds and slowly said, "Well, I have been... completing Task 2 these days. Dr. Ole asked me to assist in completing the task of studying Mermaid No. 1. In addition, I also have to clean the mermaid laboratories, so I have not been able to investigate other things for the time being."
He didn't really want to tell others that he had used the invisibility card to follow the enemy into the seabed, so he chose to conceal it.
Xia Chi also understood Baili Xin's meaning and cooperated without saying a word.
However, when Baili Xin said, "Assist in completing the mission of researching the No. 1 mermaid," the three of them all showed a look of understanding in their eyes. Glasses said in a very sincere tone, "God Xin, we all understand. The matter of sperm extraction will go through a psychological process for anyone. I believe in you. You will definitely shine and achieve glory in the end."
Baili Xin: "..."
Sperm collection
Achieve glory
Putting these two words together is somewhat... subtle.
That’s weird. Let me think about it.
Baili Xin coughed lightly and said, "But I am not without progress. When I was cleaning the mermaid laboratory, I threw the monitor into the sewer. I think there must be a secret hidden in the sewer. I plan to go to the sewer to check the situation when I rest tonight."
Xia Chi immediately said, "Brother, I'll go with you."
Although Glasses was a little nervous, he still spoke, "Well, I want to go too, is that ok?"
Man in suit: "If you are all going, why not take me with you? But where is the entrance to the sewer? Have you found it, Xin Shen?"
Baili Xin: "Not yet, but I roughly know where to enter the sewer. I will confirm it when I clean up this afternoon. If I find it, I will send you a message. In this case, let's create a group, Xia Chi, you come."
"Okay," Xia Chi didn't hesitate and quickly created a group, dragging the man with glasses, the man in the suit, and Baili Xin into it, forming a temporary team of four.
The lunch break was not long, and if they stayed together for a long time it would attract other people's attention.
Baili Xin then said something else and without staying any longer, he took the plate, poured out the food, and turned to leave the restaurant.
As soon as he left, the whispering around him started again.
"Bah, how shameless! You're so hungry that you'll sleep even on a fish."
"Such a pretty face, but it's such a shame that it was wasted on a fish."
"That's right, look at this tiny waist and perky butt. I'm jealous. What a waste of nature."
The one who said this was from the logistics team.
"It's like a flower stuck in cow dung. How could a beautiful mermaid like Number One fall for him?"
"No matter how beautiful the eyes are, they can be mistaken sometimes. But this mermaid is not mistaken. Is she suffering from cataracts? She didn't like all of our experimenters, but she chose him? Oh, what a waste of talent."
It was the research team that said this.
Xia Chi: “…”
This was probably the most polarizing comment he had ever heard.
It seems that there is such a chain of contempt in this illicit love between mermaids and humans.
In the afternoon, Baili Xin and another cleaner cleaned the data room.
As expected
, this time he still didn't gain anything.
The current time is three o'clock in the afternoon. After these few days, Baili Xin has roughly figured out Dr. Ole's pattern. He will only call him over in the morning and will not call him again after the afternoon, and his cleaning task will be completely completed.
This also means that he has a lot of private time.
After cleaning, Baili Xin packed up his things and went to the basement, where he used to live.
