Chapter 358 This fish pond cannon fodder is contracted (8)
Jiang Lai pursed his lips, glanced at the mermaid and then sent him back. Like the male protagonist, the little mermaid was also locked up alone, right next to Jiang Lai's lounge, with only a glass wall in the middle. The little mermaid could be locked up at any time. Saw Jiang Lai's every move.
"Do mermaids sleep with their eyes open?"
Little Pudding had never seen this magical species before and was very curious.
After washing up, Jiang Lai lay on the bed, put on his glasses, turned on the computer, and answered casually.
"They sleep in the same way as hairtails. They dive into deep-sea territories according to groups. Generally, the size of the group is ten to fifteen. Two patrol groups and the remaining ones will gather together in a circle and stand upright on the seabed to sleep, closing their eyes."< br>
"Then he doesn't need to sleep? I think his eyes are always open."
"The light is not up to standard for falling asleep."
"Tsk, the requirements are really high. If you can't meet the standards, you won't sleep all the time?"
"Well, I studied a mermaid before who could stay awake for more than forty days."
Little Pudding seemed to be listening to the explanation of the animal world again and continued to ask.
"What about after more than forty days?"
"I went crazy and hit the glass. I died and was dissected. It was the first mermaid I dissected."
"You are so cruel, no wonder you will be punished."
Jiang Lai glanced sideways at the little mermaid next to him, his tone still calm.
"Do you feel pity for the mice, rabbits, and dogs used in experiments in the laboratory?"
"Yes."
"Then do you think there will be retribution if I do this to them?"
Little Pudding was silent, because he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't tell whether it was his fault or Jiang Lai's fault. Logically speaking, mermaids were similar to those little white mice, but why did he feel that treating mermaids this way was a bit... too cruel?
Jiang Lai continued.
"Put away your useless sympathy. If I don't do research on mermaids, someone else will do it. What I can do now is to reduce the demand for mermaids as much as possible, reduce the torture to them, and strive to only use what is in front of me. These few things are used to promote the development of mankind. Others may think it is selfish and high-sounding to say so, but the fact is that human life is above all else. On the premise of promoting the all-round development of mankind, the greatest value of mermaids is to be studied by me. ”
"Jiang Lai, you feel a little strange to me now."
Little Pudding felt a little flustered for no reason, always feeling that something was wrong there.
"Don't worry, I have a tied interest relationship with you now. No matter what I do that is good for me, it is good for you. And the task you gave me is to find the secret of the mermaid. Don't think of me as an imaginary enemy. In the mermaid, It’s a waste of sympathy, just one Ren Yan can bear it.”
Jiang Lai doesn't feel guilty. After all, these mermaids are very ambitious. Facing broader issues, they are not willing to limit themselves to the sea. Otherwise, they would not frequently attack human ships and drag them into the sea for their own research. .
This is a game between humans and mermaids. Either they find a balance or a conflict breaks out. What Jiang Lai has to do is to ensure that humans will not fail in this game.
In the next few days, Jiang Lai will spend a lot of time training the little mermaid's listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
Reading is the most difficult part. The pronunciation system of mermaids is different from that of humans. Jiang Lai does not force it. This ability can be gained slowly. Before that, it can be replaced by gestures.
At the end of every day's training, if the little mermaid does not perform well, Jiang Lai will have people drag him away and lock him back. But if he performs well and cooperates well, then she will step forward at the end. Gently stroke his tail and praise him.
"Great job, you are really smart, I believe you can do better."
After a week, the little mermaid almost no longer ran wild during the training process, and her learning speed became faster and faster. On the seventh day, she could write Jiang Lai's name skillfully.
He pointed to the name and then to Jiang Lai.
Now he knows that the woman in front of him is called Jiang Lai, and she is the most powerful person here. She is very strict and powerful, and she is not someone he can resist at the moment.
Mermaids are smart, and there are also social stratifications in the group. Their characteristics are more like that of wolves, respecting the strong and advocating the strength of the body.
Moreover, this little mermaid is also introduced in the later plot. She is very smart and has a very high status in the mermaid clan. Although it is not explained in the plot, it can be seen from the subsequent plot development that the reason why Ren Yan can be mermaid The tribe accepted her because she had helped the little mermaid.
Although Ren Yan loves the male protagonist the most, ever since she discovered that other mermaids were obviously more respectful to the little mermaid than they were to the male protagonist, she knew that the origin of this little mermaid was not simple.
So Jiang Lai chose to target him not only because he was the youngest, but also because he was very suitable for socialization training in all aspects.
In the past few days, because Jiang Lai had been studying the little mermaid, he hardly paid attention to outside matters. Later, Little Pudding couldn't help but remind her.
"If you don't take care of the people in the laboratory, you will be instigated by Ren Yan to rebel."
The heroine in this book has a special charm. Although she looks ordinary, her low-key and silent character and the melancholy and mystery exuding from her body have an indescribable attraction for men.
Little Pudding calls it, the halo of the heroine.
"In this novel, Ren Yan has more than one or two spare tires. Not to mention the two grievances of Gao Qingjue and Zhou Liang, even the investors behind your laboratory were impressed by her courage and charm. If you don't Take her seriously and be careful, the gun will be pointed at your head tomorrow morning.”
Jiang Lai nodded, his expression really showed how much he cared.
"Didn't you say that I still have a skill that I haven't extracted yet? Come on, show me what you are capable of."
Upon hearing this, Little Pudding felt inexplicably nervous, fearing that the thing he pulled out was not what Jiang Lai wanted and would make him lose face.
After all, Jiang Laimin is arrogant enough now. If he is no longer of much use, Little Pudding believes that Jiang Laimin's sharp and ruthless mouth will never save him face.
Fortunately, in the end, the skills he pulled out were exactly what Jiang Lai could use.
"Congratulations, you have obtained the Sea Whisperer skill! With this skill, you can communicate with sea creatures at will, including mermaids. The skill has been distributed."
Little Pudding's waist straightened up.
"How's it going? Isn't this a good skill?"
"Well, very good, I will try my best to find the secret of the mermaid tomorrow."
If you can crack the encrypted communication of mermaids, wouldn’t the task of finding seabed resources be too simple?
Little Pudding thought it made sense, but felt something was wrong.
"The mission shouldn't be that simple, because the missions in this world are quite difficult." (End of Chapter)
