crush the rich

When he said "special change", Yin Lian naturally thought of what she had been popularized about before, about the special sex-changing physique of sand eels and deep-sea mermaids.Immediately afterwards, what the staff said proved her guess.

"We only had a general understanding of the social structure and racial characteristics of the sand eel mermaid tribe through communication before, and because of the inconvenient communication, we didn't really know much. I can use the group of sand eels and deep-sea mermaids that I have seen a few to make brain supplements."

"But the timing for you to come is just right. For some unknown reason, this mermaid lady... may be called Mr. in the future, but there is a sudden change. This is a great opportunity for us to observe the living conditions of the sand eel mermaid clan up close. .I just don’t know if she will go back to the clan after this happens, and someone else will take over the responsibility of communicating with us. In short, let’s see how the other party will deal with this problem.”

"But even so, the changes in her are already amazing. Since last night, the scales and tail fins on her body have begun to grow, becoming bigger and longer, and the colors have become much more colorful than before. And there is another It was a surprising thing—after the change, she seemed more human."

Yin Lian: "So the male in the sand eel deep-sea mermaid will be closer to the appearance of a human?"

The staff member paused and said, "It's hard to say. But at present, it seems that there is indeed such a sign, and it depends on what she will become in the end..."

Yin Lian asked again: "But can we go and watch her directly? Wouldn't it be impolite to do so?"

The staff member said: "Well...at present, she doesn't seem to shy away from being surrounded by people. I think they may have a more open lifestyle, so they don't care much about privacy."

Just saying this, Yin Lian and the group came to the glass hall that can be connected to the temporary residence area of ​​the sand eel and mermaid.

In fact, based on human rules, the base has arranged relatively secluded residences for mermaids.However, it may be that they are as curious as humans are about them. They also have a lot of curiosity about humans. During this time, the mermaid messengers have been operating within the range where humans can see each other. Even after the mutation, they did not hide. Still maintain the same activity habits as before.

When Yin Lian appeared, she smiled at Yin Lian through the glass wall, the light on the scales lit up several times in an instant, and it took a long time before it slowly dimmed.

The researcher seemed to have an idea after seeing it, but he didn't grasp it, and finally he could only continue to do his own thing with some doubts.

Because the sand eel deep-sea mermaid seemed to have a good impression of Yin Lian, the staff brought the contestants over and tried to say hello to the mermaid.

Yin Lian and others communicated with the mermaid under the guidance of the staff.The process of communication is more difficult, but it is not completely impossible.After all, both parties are advanced intelligent beings with their own language systems, and the researchers have tried to find a communication method that both parties can understand, but the efficiency of communication is still relatively low because of limited time.

However, with the assistance of a special translator and some existing consensus-based communication gestures and even mental power, they can still communicate roughly, but the progress is very slow.

Because the pronunciation of sand eels and deep-sea mermaids is different from that of humans, most of the previous translator functions are not applicable.The translators currently in use are actually designed by the researchers themselves based on the pronunciation of mermaids, but because there are too few models included, the content that can be interpreted is also very limited, and most of them can only translate some basic dialogues.

More time is required for more complex communications.

But even so, the players showed no sign of impatience.Rather, the curiosity about the sand eel and the deep-sea mermaid far outweighed the impatience for this troublesome communication.They seemed to be in high spirits, and everyone was impatient to ask about the mermaids, but because of the inconvenience of communication, they had to be patient and ask one by one.

Yin Lian mixed among them, her performance was neither strong nor prominent.But the sand eel deep-sea mermaid has been paying attention to her obviously, saying a few words to her that no one can understand from time to time.

According to the researchers, the mermaid lady — who may soon be Mr. Mermaid — has a name that sounds like the tinkle of spring water, which translates to algal growth.That's what Mr. Researcher called her for convenience.

Zao Sheng is obviously very concerned about Yin Lian, but he will also respond to other people's words - although he may not understand all of them.

Yin Lian listened to their conversation, but kept recording the various pronunciations of Zaosheng in her mind, and then contacted and compared with the results of the translator provided by Xia Ting base.Not only that, Zao Sheng's speech is actually very similar to singing, with a clear sense of rhythm, and at the same time, the voice itself will also have a strong spiritual power. Yin Lian can judge her emotional changes and non-verbal transmission based on this fluctuation of mental power information.

Also learning the mermaid's language, Yin Lian's speed is much faster than that of a translator, and she is more flexible and adaptable to learning, but she didn't show it, just thinking repeatedly in her mind how to understand and respond to Zao Sheng The problem.

Yin Lian understood her words faster and more accurately than other people who had to use a translator and body language to guess and compare.She noticed that Zao Sheng had a very good attitude towards her. When he spoke, he often mixed a sentence or two that he said to her alone, some of which were to introduce the specific situation of their country to her, and some of the words might be nouns with adverbial numbers. Yin Lian even guessed. , and I can't be sure that I really guessed it right, but I still have a general impression of the underwater kingdom.

Most of the other conversations were compliments and praises to Yin Lian.Yin Lian listened and found that the other party's affection for her was mainly due to several reasons - Zao Sheng would praise her for her pure spirit, said she was beautiful, and said that she was actually not very used to human appearance, but seeing Yin Lian would think she was beautiful.

She praised Yin Lian's skin as touching as pearls, and said that she felt the presence of strength in her body.Yin Lian realized at that time that the mermaids themselves are better at using spiritual power than the Xia people. They may be more sensitive to spiritual power and better able to distinguish the strength of everyone.

Yin Lian has always been hiding her spiritual strength in Xia Guo, and no one has discovered her real situation so far, so she is still a little vigilant about such a keen mermaid, reminding herself not to be in the other party's eyes. There are too many things exposed in front of you.

According to the original plan, they stayed at the Xia Ting Base for three days.

In the past three days, there was no mermaid to replace Zao Sheng, but his companion seemed to have had several disputes with him, and Yin Lian did not hear the specific content of the dispute because they were separated by the separation wall and sea water.But in contrast, Zao Sheng's changes shocked everyone in the base.

...and tens of thousands of viewers outside the live broadcast screen.

The final transformed image of Algae is completely beyond the viewer's imagination.His caudal fin became bigger, and the scales became more shining, from the original bright pink to a gorgeous light of five colors.

At first glance, it looks a bit like a peacock or a phoenix among fish.

But that's not the most surprising thing either.

What is really shocking is that the metamorphic Algae looks very close to human beings, and by the third day, he is already very close to the mermaid in Yin Lian's impression, although there are still some differences—— For example, his scales still cover all the way to his chest, unlike the mermaids in stories or movies where his upper body is exposed.The place where the hair should be on the head is still covered with slender, tough, radiant scales, but the area of ​​the face, which resembles human skin, has increased.

Researchers have been discussing whether the sand eel deep-sea mermaid looks more like a human because it is male itself, or some kind of mutation has appeared after contact with humans.

Yin Lian keenly sensed that it was probably the latter.

After she had been in contact with Zaosheng many times, she was able to observe each other closely, so she could perceive from various details that his changes were probably not real physiological changes, but more like a mimicry.

If it is mimicry, then the possibility of the other party being influenced by subjective consciousness is very high.

Although it was only three days, Yin Lian still gradually mastered the basic communication method with Zaosheng, but in order to avoid attracting attention, she did not show her ability, only occasionally when only Zaosheng was around, Try to imitate the other party's language and say a few words with the other party.

The voice and language of the sand eel deep-sea mermaid cannot be uttered through the human vocal cords. Although it can be forcibly imitated by means similar to ventriloquist, it will burden the throat, and the voice it produces is also very unnatural.

But Yin Lian's voice was very natural.

With the help of some magical power, she relied on the power of the wind to resonate with her own voice, and then simulated a mermaid-like voice.

Generally speaking, after Yin Lian has figured out the rules of a language, he can quickly use it.However, the language of the mermaid is far from the language she understands in general, so Yin Lian can only imitate and learn the content of the other party's speech for the time being, and barely carry on a simple conversation.

When Yin Lian spoke the mermaid's language for the first time, Zao Sheng was very surprised.

He quickly started to say a long paragraph, and it was very difficult for Yin Lian to accept it.When he realized that Yin Lian couldn't understand what he was saying, he slowed down his speech and said slowly: "You are really... very powerful."

Yin Lian blinked and asked, "Why do you think I'm amazing?"

Zaosheng said: "We can feel it. We are born to sense the power of the strong...but you give people a very special feeling. Although you are very powerful, you seem to be restrained. My companions can't feel it. Your strength."

"But I trust my feelings. Because I'm stronger than her."
