I Was Raised After Being a Mermaid

Chapter 31

An Jin rested his chin in recollection, his eyes swept back and forth beside the small tree bud, and after seeing the different and obviously updated soil next to it and nearby, he finally determined that the small tree bud was planted by him.

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

It has actually broken ground and grown into a small tree bud!

An Jin witnessed the new life, and even his credit, and his mood instantly became happy. The blue tail waved briskly, splashing tiny water, reflecting the dazzling light.

He looked at the sapling and thought, his guess at that time might be right, as long as the seeds are free of impurities, the plants that grow are also free of impurities.

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

However... He looked at the ground. The housekeeper cleans the garden every day, but there are always fruit leaves falling to the ground. In his eyes, the ground and the soil are full of impurities.

He looked at the small tree sprout again. In his vision, the small tree sprout had no impurities at all, but what about the roots

He thought about it, propped his arms on the shore, and with a little force, quickly climbed ashore 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, so he made a move.

He looked left and right, but couldn't find a branch that could be used as a shovel, and finally his eyes fell on his long, sharp fingernails.

With his palm up, he used his fingernails as a shovel, carefully shoveled the soil near the small tree buds, and drew a circle around the small tree buds.

With his fingertips, he scraped the soil from the edge a little bit, and when he got to the back, he ran the water ability, simulating the spray of water mist from the sprinkler, and removed the soil little by little, finally revealing the complete root system of the small tree buds.

An Jin's eyes dimmed slightly. There were black spots at the bottom of the root system of the small tree buds, which became denser and denser as they went down.

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

The impurities in the soil are likely to come from the deciduous 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 bodies, such as water and air.

Think about it, if even the air in the water contains impurities, this planet may be dead 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 is free of impurities, will the seeds without impurities be pure when they grow up

An Jin thought for a while, and ran the water ability to purify the soil with a diameter of two meters near the sapling, as well as all the flowers, plants and trees.

Next, he removed the impurities from the roots of the saplings and carefully planted them back.

Back at the pool, he washed himself clean with his water ability and jumped into the water.

The tail swayed deftly, and the blue scales drew a beautiful brilliance under the glare. He opened the water with both hands, drilled into the water, and swam into the room through the passage.

He picked up a cantaloupe, left the seeds after eating, and then returned to the garden, running the water ability to form water arrows, and the water arrows shot to the ground to dig a hole and planted all the seeds.

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

It is too imprecise to observe only one bud of a small tree. There are many kinds of seeds. If the small sapling dies, there are other objects to be observed.

An Jin praised his prudence, looking at the stubble of new mud in the green grass, feeling 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 read, and didn't stop until noon.

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

He looked at the wide room in front of him and was stunned for a while, suspecting that there was a bug in the system and that his location was wrong.

He was off the assembly line in the house that Di Lang rented. The room was very ordinary and not large in size. It was difficult to rent out because it was remote and looked old.

And now the room he is in is new and spacious, it is clearly not the one before.

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

Dylan ran out of the next room and ran in front of him in less than two seconds.

"You..." Di Lang looked tangled, "You really discovered the bug that the barbecue became delicious and also had the effect of restoring mental power? You negotiated with the Holographic Company and asked him to hire us all?"

An Jin was dazed for a moment, then quickly figured it out and nodded, "Yeah."

Di Lang sighed: "I'm really lucky to recruit you as a buddy."

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

Di Lang was a little embarrassed, and leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "The Holographic Company really won't hold you accountable, and let you continue to make money?"

"Um."

Di Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, but I heard that as long as someone finds a bug in the holographic company, they will get a high bonus. Did they give you a bonus?"

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

He didn't want Dylan to think too much, and nodded: "Give it."

Di Lang: "It's almost the same," he patted his chest. "Don't worry, I have 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, brushed his hair, and said with determination: "This store has a holographic company in charge of delivery, you can do it alone, I seem to mix food and drink, I'm not ready Stay, or prepare to set up your own stall."

Before, he bought the hardware of the stall with money. He didn't make skewers, but he was the one who marinated, collected the money, packed it, and sorted it out.

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

Ready in less than half an hour.

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

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

He thought about it and then said, "If I can't find anyone to pickle it for a while, I can continue to do it for a few days."

After thinking about it, An Jin said, "If you want to open a barbecue stall, the barbecue skills are not bad, right?"

Di Lang: "It's okay, it's far worse than you."

An Jin shook his head: "Not necessarily, you know, the things I bake are delicious, mainly because of bugs."

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

Norman bought him brains and animal cores.

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

After getting the beast core, he immediately wanted to upgrade his abilities. The further back the abilities were, the more difficult it would be to upgrade. He needed constant training to master the ability to control water.

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

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 hurriedly said, "Study is the most important thing! That's right, you got the bonus, so you should go to school hard." He looked at An Jin, "Honestly speaking, how old are you?"

An Jin: "Twenty."

"Cut." Di Lang looked incredulous.

An Jin negotiated with Di Lang. In the future, Di Lang will be in charge of the barbecue, and the raw materials will be provided by the holographic company.

He removed all the impurities from today's skewers and seasonings, and let Dylan go to the barbecue room to make skewers.

He goes offline and contacts Norman.

Norman is at the training ground and Ilo, captain of the second team of the Guards.

The special reminder sounded, Norman no longer fed tricks for the purpose of teaching, and ended the battle with a chokehold, let go of Ilo and went to the side to answer the communication.

Yiluo shook his arms and relaxed, the team members surrounded him, his eyes lit up, "Your Majesty is so handsome at the last look, so fast that I can't see clearly!"

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

Several people did not dare to discuss, but they all expressed a message in their eyes: Your Majesty must be in love!

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

An Jin said about the holographic world: "I think in the future, only impurities will be removed, and there will be no barbecue."

Norman always thinks that grilling will tire the little mermaid, and he agrees very much: "Okay," he added, "it's fine if you don't want to remove impurities, and if you don't like it, don't do it."

An Jin smiled: "I like it."

Just removing impurities, it's quick and easy for him, and earning money, it's a perfect job.

After he finished his business, he looked at Norman with some curiosity. Norman was wearing a uniform shirt, his black hair was slightly wet, resting on his forehead, his wheat-colored skin was dyed with sweat, and his hormones were very strong.

"Am I disturbing you?" He bit his lower lip, a little annoyed.

"No," Norman said.

An Jin breathed a sigh of relief, then turned his face down, and said earnestly, "I will pay attention in the future," he shaves his face embarrassedly, "I will send you a message after I recognize the characters."

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," his voice became more serious, "Don't hit yourself, be careful of getting hurt."

An Jin whispered, "No," he raised his hand and waved, "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. He said in a gentle tone, "See you at night."

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

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

At half past five in the afternoon, Norman returned to the palace

He changed out of his military uniform, put on a set of casual clothes, and walked towards the mermaid room.

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

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

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

An Jin opened it, and his eyes were suddenly filled with colorful colors. His eyes were shaken, he closed his eyes slightly, and then opened them again, and his eyes shone brightly.

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

He took out a secondary beast core, especially wanting to absorb energy now.

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

He looked at Norman, held back his impulse, and had to wait for Norman to leave.

Seeing that the little mermaid liked it, Norman picked up the colored thread on the side, picked a blue one, 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 beast core: "The beast core is very hard. It took a long time to process these thread holes. General merchandise can be delivered within a quarter of an hour after placing an order."

An Jin suddenly realized that Zhinao had been delivered very quickly before, and it took more than ten hours for the beast core to arrive.

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

Norman put the beast core through the thread, held the two ends of the thread with both hands, and reached out 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 beast core hanging in the middle of the line, and immediately shook his head when he thought of the beast core hanging in front of him.

Feeling silly.

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

Hanging on it like this, dumbfounded.

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

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

An Jin: "..." It's really thoughtful.

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

He refused even more firmly. After thinking about it, he took out a palm-sized red third-level beast core, stretched it out to Norman, and compared the beast core to Norman's chest, next to Norman's second button.

"Bah!" An Jin almost conditioned reflex, expressing his disgust succinctly and clearly, the next moment he reacted and added in Interstellar language, "Ugly."

Norman saw the little mermaid frowning in disgust, his eyes overflowing with a smile.

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

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

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

Norman clenched the animal core, his eyes softened: "Give it to me?"

An Jin nodded: "Yes."

He was a little disappointed in his heart, and felt that as expected, Norman seemed to be unable 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 you could, the mermaid wouldn't be so important.

Norman received the little mermaid's gift, and put it in his carry-on backpack with a cautious look.

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

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

He pulled Norman's sleeve and shook it. He pointed to the bank full of food.

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

An Jin shook his 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, you play for a while, I'll take care of the food."

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

"Spacepack," Norman said. "You have a brain too. I'll show you how to use it later."

Quietly and happily waving his tail: "Thank you."

Norman thought to himself that the little mermaid was too good-natured, too sensible, and too easy to satisfy.

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

All the food, because there is no impurities and no loss, are made into six nutritional supplements, or a strong soothing agent is more accurate.

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

Norman put the nutritional supplements away, and thought flashed in his eyes. There are a total of nine armies in Siao, six, and they are not evenly divided.

However, the amount of food the little mermaid purifies today has exceeded his expectations, so he will save it for a few more days and then deal with it according to the situation.

He turned his eyes and landed on the residue processed by the machine. When he saw the melon seeds and fruit pits, his expression moved slightly.

Soon after, the Siao Botanical Research Institute was boiling.

The dean and the five oldest professors in the hospital gathered around to check the data, each with a shocked expression.

"God, it's really not contaminated!"

"It's a pure seed."

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

Dean Kelai kept a secret expression on his face, keeping in mind the warning of the head guard, obviously very excited, he still said lightly, "I got it by accident."

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

The little mermaid was having dinner when Norman returned to the mermaid room.

An Jin saw him, picked up a bulging fish, sliced the fish into pieces, arranged them neatly, squeezed some lemon juice on it, and pushed it to Norman: "It's delicious, you can try it. ."

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

He met the little mermaid's expectant gaze, ate the fish fillet, and his eyes flashed: "Thank you, An An, it's delicious."

The fish is tender and juicy, and the slightly sour 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 his eyes and was very happy.

After Norman finished eating the sashimi, his brain rang. After reading the message, he said to the little mermaid, "When someone comes, I'll take you upstairs first."

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

An Jin is very familiar with this posture and knows that his tail is very slippery, so he put his hands on his abdomen obediently without struggling at all.

Norman looked down at the little mermaid, only to think that the little mermaid was too cute.

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

He had doubts before. Every time an outsider entered the mermaid room, Norman would always take him away.

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

An Jin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Norman had to use another face when he auctioned off and took him out.

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

Norman was afraid of scaring the little mermaid, so he concealed the specific reason. Seeing him asking, he no longer concealed it: "Xiao Yin's hand is broken because of me."

After that, he donated Xiaoyin to Mu Chen. Mu Chen passed the assessment of the scientific research association and successfully raised Xiaoyin, and he was blacklisted by the scientific research institute.

Xiaoyin stared at the broken hand every day to take revenge, and he didn't forget it until the last time we met.

An Jin finally understood why Xiao Yin was so irritable with Norman when he first met Xiao Yin.

He subconsciously gripped his wrist.

Norman glanced at his hand and explained: "At that time, he pretended to be good and attacked me suddenly when I wasn't paying attention. I had a strong sense of fighting and subconsciously fought back. He was so angry that he shot too hard and hit my arm."

An Jin took a deep breath, thinking about that scene, it hurts, and Xiaoyin is a bit miserable.

He looked at Norman's sharp jawline and thought to himself that Norman was 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."

Norman's eyes were gentle, he got up and released the water, waited for the water to submerge the little mermaid, and turned off the switch.

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

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 room wall and the bathroom wall.

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

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

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

Norman was really nice to him.

Norman put down his fish tail, he was startled, his hands subconsciously grabbed Norman's shirt, the tail had not yet landed on the ground, his waist was tight, and the hand wrapped around his shoulders slid across his chest, and then his whole body was smashed. Lifted up.

Almost instantly, An Jin changed from being hugged horizontally to being hugged vertically, and the bottom of his tail was dragged on the ground.

An Jin lowered his head and glanced, his tail was upturned, the top of the tail fin was folded twenty centimeters, and the fish scales were touching the ground.

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

Norman was slightly startled, looked down at the little mermaid's tail, then released his left hand, his right hand was still on the little mermaid's chest, and his palm 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. The temperature of Norman's palm is too hot for him, and the sense of existence is too strong.

He tilted his head and raised 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 released his right hand cautiously and moved it away slowly, in case the little mermaid slipped and could protect it in time.

He handed his left hand to the little mermaid, and the little mermaid put the palm of his hand on his arm, did not hold it, just held it, as if worried that the nails would hurt him, and raised his fingers slightly.

The little mermaid's palm is soft with a slight coolness, and the five fingers are long and white.

An Jin supported Norman's arm, his back was straight, he left Norman and stood up alone.

Before opening the door, he had practiced this posture many times. As long as there was a support, he could stand very stable, his tail had strong strength, and he did 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 his head, his eyes curved: "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 reassured: "I have a way."

He said, opening the brain to place an order.
