Despite all the arguments online, Lin Jiu's shop still has to open as usual.
The Siren Vest has been completely covered up. Of course, influenced by Country H, people call him "Mermaid". No one has come out to clarify his identity yet.
Ever since Lin Jiu made his public statement on the social platform, all diners who came into the restaurant would intentionally or unintentionally stare at his legs for a few seconds, their eyes full of confusion. How did these human legs turn into a fish tail
Among the countless voices discussing the mermaid, there were also some discussing the environment on the second floor of the Magic Fish Restaurant. The new diners who had moved up to the second floor were quite surprised by the environment there. People on the second floor and above could not take photos, but this also prevented them from describing it in words.
Obviously, they were excited.
The text description alone makes many diners yearn for the second floor. In the past, they had to rely on luck to draw a number, but now it is no longer necessary. As long as they have money, they can buy more silver caviar, and sales will naturally increase, and more and more people will go to the second floor.
The Cecil Family suddenly intervened, which had a great impact on Vera's emotions. Lin Jiu had to take her to improve her cooking skills to divert her attention. He was really afraid that Vera would not be able to hold back and kill everyone alone.
Lin Jiu accompanied her from morning to night, and Vera had no idea that Lin Jiu was worried about her.
Vera comforted Lin Jiu in turn, saying that he had endured it for so many years, and now he was alone without Lin Jiu, so he would be more likely to act impulsively.
In order to reduce Vera's hatred, Lin Jiu told Vera the truth he learned from the Elton family, hoping that she could live an easier life and not have to bear so much hatred.
In fact, Vera knew clearly that her mother had almost gone insane later on. She hated everyone, including the Cecil family and the Elton family. She hated them to the point of losing her mind. At that time, Vera was already a few years old and had the ability to think for herself.
He inherited his mother's hatred, but was not blinded by hatred.
Suffering did not make him degenerate. On the contrary, he became positive and enthusiastic and never lost hope for life. Now that he has come back alive and seen the children he had missed for many years, he will only be more calm and careful, and will not act impulsively.
Lin Jiu told Vera about the Elton family's search for their relatives, and mentioned that he accepted the Elton family's offer. Lin Jiu was worried that Vera would be disappointed in him, but in the end Vera was calmer than Lin Jiu thought.
Lin Jiu did not experience the suffering that Vera had, so he could make her forgive the Elton family. If Vera wanted him to stay away from the Elton family, Lin Jiu would also consider it. After all, compared with the Elton family, he was closer to his mother.
Vera said: "Without any connections, you can get in touch with them. With the Elton family, we also have roots."
After a pause, Vera sighed, "It's hard for them to think of me wandering around after all these years."
Lin Jiu said: "Don't worry, I will deal with the Cecil family sooner or later. As long as they exist, we, the Sirens, will be safe."
Vera smiled, "Of course I believe my son."
It was already late, Lin Jiu and Vera were still in the store, and Si Xu came to the store to look for someone.
"The Cecil family has made conditions."
Lin Jiu and Vera looked up at him at the same time.
Lin Jiu: "What conditions?"
Si Xu snorted, "I'm willing to give up a magic crystal marrow in exchange for them."
Lin Jiu raised his hand and stuck the knife on the chopping board. "You wish! Without the five magic crystals, you can't exchange me for you!"
Vera pondered, "You'll let him go if I have five magic crystals?"
Lin Jiu sneered, "Of course I can let him go so easily."
Vera said: "Everyone in the Cecil family can turn into a mutant Heijia. After all, there are only a few Heijia who have the ability to transform. Last time, there were also several Heijia and Siren who died in the explosion. If they lose a few more people this time, the Cecil family will definitely be seriously injured. Even if they still have people available, there will be few left."
Lin Jiu and Si Xu looked at each other, and both felt that the system's suggestion might be a good idea.
Lin Jiu was not very good at this kind of bickering, so he had to leave it to Si Xu to negotiate, and try to dig out as much magic crystal marrow as possible.
It is worth mentioning that among the three magic crystal marrows provided by country F, one was jointly funded by country H and country M.
The reason is simple. Country F has given out these magic crystal essences. If it wants to solve the problem, it can only ask Country H and Country M for help. The potions they get in return also need to be used by their people with special abilities. Unless the two countries give up these people with special abilities, they will have to help Country F overcome the difficulties.
Obviously, it is not easy to train people with special abilities in various countries, and they are unwilling to give up. In this case, they can only support them with magic crystal marrow. How to discuss the details is only known to them.
The negotiations with the Cecil family may have room for negotiation like with Country F. They all knew that the Cecil family had a lot of magic crystal marrows, and they were in the wrong. Even if Si Xu and Lin Jiu found an excuse to kill those people, the Cecil family could only swallow this loss. So Si Xu offered a price of five magic crystal marrows and was willing to bargain and exchange them if he wanted.
The Cecil family and Country M tried every possible means. Si Xu and Lin Jiu were anxious, but the Cecil family was even more anxious. The longer it dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for the mutant Haijia. So after a week of haggling, the Cecil family had no choice but to agree to Si Xu's conditions.
The exchange location was set at sea, and Si Xu did not allow anyone else to participate. Only he and Lin Jiu went to exchange hostages, so that if anything unexpected happened, the two of them would be able to deal with it.
Those mutant Haijia were like paper tigers with their teeth pulled out. They were so concealed by advanced gene weakeners that even they themselves probably didn't know what they had swallowed.
They still maintain the form of mutant Haiga, but the internal Haiga genes have been weakened and disappeared. Only this time, when they return to adulthood, they will not want to become mutant Haiga again.
The only thing Lin Jiu and Si Xu have to be wary of is the mutated Haijia sent by the Cecil family again. However, Lin Jiu is looking forward to it. The more people come, the more people Lin Jiu can eliminate, and the strength of the Cecil family will be weakened.
Lin Jiu and Si Xu went out to the sea by boat, and several mutant sea monsters were trapped in the water prison and were being dragged on the sea.
When they arrived at the exchange point, the two ships were facing each other from a distance.
This scene seemed familiar, and the people coming over to exchange hostages were also old acquaintances.
Hailier smiled and greeted them, "Lin Jiu, how are you doing? Does your tail still hurt?"
Lin Jiu was well aware of this person's psychopathic nature. It was the same as last time. He could talk to you with a smile on his face, but he could kill you with that.
Lin Jiu already knew the identity of this person through the Elton family. Heilil was the youngest and most beloved son of Van Luns. He had the strongest ancient clan genes. If anything unexpected happened, Van Luns would pass the position of head of the family to Heilil.
Lin Jiu's eyes flickered. It would be a great deal if they could capture this lunatic and destroy his Haijia genes.
Lin Jiu's eyes rolled, and Si Xu knew what he was thinking.
Si Xu: "Where are the things?"
Hailier beckoned with his fingers, and someone brought a rustic wooden box. Hailier lazily hooked the lock, opened the box and let Lin Jiu and Si Xu in. Five magic crystal marrows were neatly placed inside.
Heilil closed the wooden box to isolate the radiation and raised his chin. "I'm going to send someone to check on the hostages."
Lin Jiu: "Please hurry up."
Helier stared at Lin Jiu with unscrupulous attitude.
A middle-aged man carrying a check box came out. He was dressed like a gentleman and stared at Lin Jiu for a long while before speaking.
"Please release them, or I can help check them over there."
Lin Jiu raised his eyebrows, "Then come over here."
Lin Jiu shrank the water prison and brought the mutated Haijia onto the deck.
The middle-aged man looked like an ordinary person. He rowed a small boat close to Lin Jiu's boat, climbed up shakily, opened the box, took out a well-known instrument and examined a mutant Haijia.
The mutated Haijia stayed in the water dungeon for several days. Although they were not tortured, it was more painful than being tortured. The scales on their bodies became dry and curled due to long-term lack of water. The pain and itchiness were really unbearable. They were all happy to be back in the water dungeon.
Lin Jiu and Si Xu stood by and let him check. They both believed that this man would not be able to find any problems.
This was indeed the case. After the middle-aged man checked each mutated Haijia and found no abnormalities, he nodded to Hailier.
The smug look on Hailier's face never left his face. "Let him go."
Lin Jiu removed the water prison, and several mutant sea monsters quickly jumped into the sea. Si Xu took action and grabbed the wooden box containing the magic crystal marrow.
Suddenly, Helier’s men appeared carrying heavy weapons and fired at Lin Jiu’s ship!
Si Xu stretched out his hand to block, and all the flying shells fell on both sides of the ship, exploding into water mist all over the sky. The water mist condensed into a water dragon in the air, biting towards Helier who was standing on the bow!
With a frown on his face, Helier felt a needle piercing his neck. He transformed at the moment when the water dragon bit him. He raised his hands and a water curtain shot up into the sky, blocking the biting water dragon.
Several water belts appeared again on the sea surface and wrapped around Helier. Three people behind Helier gave themselves acupuncture and transformed into mutant Heijia. They jumped into the sea and wanted to attack from the bottom of the sea.
However, Lin Jiu and Si Xu didn't give them any chance at all. Si Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed Heilil who was about to enter the sea, but he was caught in the air. In desperation, he could only raise waves to block Si Xu's ability, and Heilil successfully entered the sea.
When Lin Jiu saw that they had four mutant Haijia, his eyes lit up. It was a dish that was delivered to the door, so why not take it
Lin Jiu could more or less guess Heil's purpose. There were already a few mutated Haiga, and with the four of them, they were almost the strongest force. They wanted to take him and Si Xu down in one fell swoop. Unfortunately, they underestimated his strength and overestimated the abilities of those mutated Haiga.
The mutated Haiga who had taken the advanced gene weakener could only maintain their mutated Haiga status, but they could not use up the abilities from the Haiga genes. Even though they could breathe at the bottom of the sea, they could not control water.
Hailier's plan is bound to fail, but Lin Jiu's plan has a chance to be realized.
As a last resort, Lin Jiu wanted to go into the sea. Although his strength in human form was not as strong as that in mermaid form, it was enough for him and Si Xu to deal with four people together.
Si Xu had already jumped off the boat and stood on the sea. He placed both his hands on the sea surface and quickly locked onto Helier and the other three. He then lifted them up suddenly, just like he did when he caught the stone skull fish. The four people hiding on the seabed were thrown directly into the air!
Si Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed, and the four mutated sea monsters immediately turned around and fell towards Lin Jiu's deck.
The four of them did not give up fighting back in the air. Water dragons rushed out of the sea and swept towards Si Xu and Lin Jiu...
Four huge water shackles suddenly appeared in the air. With a click, the shackles were put on the four people. The four people suddenly felt that their bodies weighed a thousand pounds. The water dragon broke into a waterfall and fell into the sea. If they did not have Si Xu's ability to control it, they would definitely fall back into the sea. The pressure on their whole bodies was so strong that they could only fall on the deck.
It was not until this moment that Hailier realized that Lin Jiu was much stronger than before. How could a person's strength improve so much in such a short time? !
Before Helier asked the question, Lin Jiu held a huge water hammer in his hand and knocked everyone unconscious with one hammer.
Si Xu jumped onto the boat, and together with Lin Jiu, stuffed medicine into the mouths of the four people. After making sure that they had swallowed it, they threw the four people into the sea and sailed back home.
Helier's ship was still on the sea. The people on the ship dared not stop him. They jumped into the sea one after another to rescue the four people who were knocked unconscious.
Lin Jiu walked out a distance, still observing the situation over there with a telescope. All the mutant Haijia had climbed onto the boat, and they were being injected with drugs that would turn them into humans.
Lin Jiu clicked his tongue, "This is the last time, cherish it."
Si Xu sailed away, and Lin Jiu impatiently went over to him. Si Xu handed him the wooden box containing the magic crystal marrow.
All five magic crystal marrows are real. Although they have not been used up in terms of quality, it is better than nothing. There must be some energy left in the five crystals.
Lin Jiu gave all the magic crystal marrow to the energy collection system to convert it into magic points. This time it must be enough to buy Si Xu a high-level gene enhancer... He still needs to rely on his luck. He hasn't drawn the blind box yet. What if he can draw it from the blind box? Then the magic points will be saved
I was bored on the way back, so I used it to draw blind boxes.
Lin Jiu: "Give me 5 lucky numbers, I want to draw a blind box."
Si Xu glanced at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes, "3, 5, 7, 7, 4."
Lin Jiu also came out and drew the blind box in the cab.
First draw, 3.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining the intermediate demon hunting chef skill.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Should he be happy or not
Although the intermediate demon hunting chef skills are also good, they are not what Lin Jiu needs most.
Second draw, 5.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining a blueprint for making the Magic Element Gun.
Lin Jiu: “…”
These are exactly what he wanted! ! ! ! !
The third draw, 7.
Congratulations to the host for obtaining some energy stones.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: “…”
When Si Xu turned around, he saw Lin Jiu sitting on the ground with his legs kicked up, looking mad and hopeless.
Si Xu couldn't help but speak out, "What's wrong? Are the things you drew good?"
Lin Jiu had a sad face and said, "Okay, it's all what I want."
Lin Jiucheng lay down with his arms and legs spread out, his eyes dull, "There are only two more times left, I'm done, come back and do it yourself, your lucky numbers are blocking my way, I'm so desperate."
Si Xu felt good, "What do you want?"
Lin Jiu got up quickly, "Advanced gene enhancer! Advanced gene enhancer worth 1 million magic points! If we can draw it, we will be rich!"
Si Xu had a complicated expression, "I thought about it, the possibility of winning is almost zero."
Lin Jiu: "Even you can do it?"
Si Xu: "Anyone can do it."
Also, I don't know what the meaning of the system's existence is.
