Becoming a God from a Water Monkey

Chapter 596 The Colorful World Fascinates the Eyes

Leave the tent.

Long Eying and Long Binglin did not leave immediately. Instead, they turned around in front of all the mermaids and spoke loudly to the burly mermaid.

The surrounding mermaids were in an uproar.

The burly merman's expression changed slightly.

moment.

The dragon man came back to repeat it.

"Why do I feel like I'm going to slip away?"

Liang Qu guessed correctly.

The person who came forward earlier was the leader of the mermaid tribe, named Quan Linghan.

In the tent, facing the recruitment of Long Eying and Long Binglin, Quan Linghan did not refuse in person. He only said that he would take a few days to consider and discuss with his fellow tribesmen.

Judging from the nomadic lifestyle of the mermaid tribe and Quan Linghan's micro-expressions, Liang Qu always felt that it was an excuse, but it was not easy to ask them in person.

"Do you think Quan Linghan will agree?"

Long Binglin looked hesitant.

half an hour.

"Hard to say."

The situation of the merman tribe is different from that of the dragon people.

The dragon people lost their dragon king, and their survival was in jeopardy, and they were at the end of their rope.

Mermaids are naturally free from the worries of survival. Although life underwater is rather dull and boring, all they really need to pay attention to is avoiding humans.

There are benefits to going to Pingyang Prefecture and getting shelter. With the skills of the mermaids and going ashore to trade, the living standards of the tribe will be greatly improved, but it is not so urgent and can be influenced by the personal feelings of the leader.

“Elder, the older mermaids have suffered a lot, and some have even seen their relatives and friends captured. Most of them are unwilling to interact with humans anymore.

The key to this matter actually lies in the young people in the ethnic group and whether they yearn for the land world and a better life.

Before Eying and I left, we deliberately announced the news loudly so that the entire mermaid community, especially the young mermaids, would know about it, so that Quan Linghan would not conceal the news."

Long Eying suggested: "If the elders really want to recruit mermaids, they should try to win over young mermaids and teach them about the life of mermaids when the Dragon King was alive, so as to arouse their desire. The fact that the Yangtze River dolphin can exchange sundries for mermaid tears proves that mermaids have a need for human creations."

"understood."

Liang Qu stared at Long Eying's wrist.

"Awei stays behind to observe, while Yuantou leads some of the porpoises back to Jianghuai to settle the young porpoises and the injured."

The blue bracelet fell off.

Yuantou obeyed the order.

"Let's go back first, go ashore to buy some goods, and come back tomorrow."

"Sir, why do we need to go ashore and buy another one?"

Long Binglin pointed to the "miscellaneous items" carried by the finless porpoise. There were all kinds of things in it, enough for one to use.

“That’s not what you want to buy.”

I'll keep you in suspense for a bit.

Liang Qu used [Water Travel] to build waterways along the way.

With eddy currents, no matter how far the journey is, as long as you are in the water, it can be covered in a day or night.

into the night.

Baoqing Wharf is bustling with activity, with the orange lights flickering dimly.

The fisherman put down the copper coins, drank a bowl of hot wine to warm himself, and went out of the boat carrying the fishing net.

This pier located at the junction of the Jianghuai River and Pengze is quite prosperous and never deserted even after dark.

Following the central dirt road, Liang Qu arrived at the center of the neighboring Baoqing Town and walked straight into a bookstore that was still open.

That's right.

There is nothing else to buy specifically.

It's the book!
The content is not some boring collection of classics, history, or philosophy, it's a novel!

The joy of revenge, love between men and women, bizarre stories, ghost stories...

How can the closed-minded tribal youth resist the colorful world outside?

Text is the most basic and intuitive cultural carrier!

The only problem.

It’s really hard to buy books for mermaids.

Books that are water-resistant are not cheap, and the paper must be specially made.

Such high-standard production is basically used to record the writings of sages and secret manuals of martial arts. How could it be used for low-level novels?
It took me a while to find a few books, each of which cost seven or eight taels of silver, most of which was the cost of materials.

Seeing that the store was running low on stock and that the 30th was only four days away, Liang Qu took out a banknote and activated his "money power". "Three hundred taels is the deposit. Print as soon as possible. There must be a wide variety of products. The more the better, and the sooner the better. Ten taels per copy. From now until tomorrow night, I'll take as much as you can print!"

"Don't worry, sir!"

The shopkeeper who was about to close down the business was suddenly excited.

As soon as the customer left, the two waiters in the store were sent out.

The next evening.

The shopkeeper gasped and put down the wooden box.

The rich scent of ink is fragrant.

"Master, please count them. There are 167 books in total, 37 types. They are all made of Chongshan paper and dried with incense. You can even hold your breath and read them underwater without getting dizzy."

Liang Qu took a quick look and found that it basically met the requirements, and there were even two contents that seemed rather suspicious.

Standard bad reading.

Mermaids reproduce in vitro, I wonder if you would be interested...

The shopkeeper seemed a little nervous and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Sir, there is really no time to print more copies. I bought a small part of it from other bookstores."

"No problem, I'll pay you." Liang Qu thought for a moment and threw the script into the wooden box. "I'll come at this time tomorrow as usual. As usual, I'll take whatever you have!"

Mermaid tribe.

Quan Linghan had a worried look on his face.

After the dragon people left yesterday, he wanted to lead the tribe to migrate away and live in another place.

Unexpectedly, when the order was given, most of the mermen disagreed and forced a meeting to be held. As a result, they started quarreling and the quarrel never stopped. Only now have they started to pack up their things piecemeal.

The young mermaid, who had never suffered any hardship, was extremely dissatisfied with this decision and kept dragging their feet, showing no intention of leaving.

Hey……

People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

Besides being depressed.

The guarding merman came hurriedly to report, but did not wait for a response.

Outside the valley.

Long Binglin jumped out, and the finless porpoise approached carrying all kinds of "debris".

Quan Linghan's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately asked the guards to order all the mermaids to stop their actions, and he went forward to delay them.

Upon learning that the person came to give a gift, Quan Linghan felt a little relieved, but he roughly understood the other party's purpose and felt it was difficult, knowing that he could not refuse.

"Thank you both for your kindness. I will accept the gifts for now and will send someone to distribute them later."

"Hey." Long Binglin grabbed Quan Linghan's wrist that was reaching for the wooden box and slowly pulled it open. "Since we brought the things, we will naturally distribute them, so as to save Brother Quan the trouble."

Quan Linghan is at the upper level of tiger hunting, but Long Binglin has reached perfection in tiger hunting and has opened up the mysterious light and refined hundreds of scriptures. He only needs to eat air to become a master.

The gap is as huge as heaven and earth.

With his wrists restrained, Quan Linghan was unable to break free. He could only watch as the dragon man called the mermaids in the tribe and distributed them one by one.

Half an hour later.

Quan Linghan looked annoyed.

"Everything must be handed over! No possession is allowed!"

……

"Elder, if we send out the books and gifts, Quan Linghan will definitely confiscate them again. Will it be a waste of effort?" Long Binglin hesitated.

It is not so difficult to say that the “miscellaneous items” are paid for by the finless porpoises, but books that can be read underwater are not cheap.

What a waste of money!
Liang Qu shook his head.

"It doesn't matter. The more Quan Linghan collects, the more dissatisfied the young mermaids will be. Besides, he can't collect them all."

There is gain in loss, there is give and take, there will inevitably be waste in between, but it is a necessary investment.

All beginnings are hard.

It will definitely be difficult to tame a mermaid for the first time. It will be much easier to let the mermaid convince another mermaid in the future.

Two consecutive days.

The dragon man sent it twice.

The third one has not yet started.

in the afternoon.

Long Binglin and Long Eying brought two young mermaids to find Liang Qu.

"Elder, these two want to follow you."
