I became a mermaid egg and saved the Imperial Marshal

The other two turned to look at him when they heard this, and even Wen Yi and Ling Qing stopped talking.

"What are you all looking at me for? Isn't that right? Legend has it that ancient mermaids have the ability to bewitch people, just like goblins."

"What nonsense! The mermaid had long ago..." Anita couldn't help but blurt out, but he stopped before he could finish his words.

The command room fell into silence.

What do mermaids represent? They represent a high spiritual affinity and their hope.

Professor Alaid, a former senior pharmacist and expert in mental power research, once said that in order to repair Huo Linyuan's mental damage, one must have a purebred mermaid, because only ancient purebred mermaids with extremely high mental power and extreme gentleness can do it.

But everyone knows that this is simply impossible to achieve. Let alone purebred mermaids, even ordinary mermaids have disappeared in the universe for tens of thousands of years, not to mention the strength of affinity that can match Huo Linyuan.

After Huo Linyuan was injured, they did try to search for the mermaid with a one in ten thousand chance, but without exception they found nothing.

Because the topic was too heavy, the command room was silent for a long time until Hill suddenly spoke.

"marshal!"

Only then did everyone realize that Huo Linyuan had walked in, holding the egg in his hand.

Huo Linyuan nodded lightly and walked to the main seat and sat down.

Qi Yan, who came in with him, was not so calm. Just now, he heard the conversation between several people clearly outside the door. At this moment, two words kept repeating in his mind - mermaid.

Could I be a mermaid? Although I'm not a human, I'm still half human, which sounds good.

And if I were a mermaid, would I have a chance to cure Huo Linyuan?

But Qi Yan also knew that in the setting of the novel, mermaids had been extinct tens of thousands of years ago.

The only time mermaids were mentioned in the text was when Professor Aled diagnosed Huo Linyuan after he was seriously injured.

Because Huo Linyuan's mental power is too high, even the pharmacist with the best affinity in the entire galaxy will feel uncomfortable when facing him, let alone refining a potion to repair his mental power.

In the interstellar age, almost everyone has mental power, but there are differences in mental power, not only in strength, but also in types.

Based on the aggressiveness and affinity of mental power, people divide mental power into two categories: one is mental power that is good at combat attack, and the other is affinity that is good at communication and refinement.

Although they are both spiritual power in essence, there are obvious differences in their expression and actual effects.

People with high mental power can drive mechas, are better at fighting, and have better physical fitness than ordinary people. People with strong affinity can make various mental potions.

In the interstellar age, physical injuries can be healed by instruments, but mental damage can only be healed by various medicines refined by pharmacists.

In addition, metallurgy and extraction also rely heavily on affinity, so people with strong affinity generally work in medicine or smelting.

However, because pharmacists have extremely high requirements for affinity, senior pharmacists are rare even in the entire galaxy.

However, although the stronger the mental power of a person, the more obvious the overall advantage in battle, and the stronger the affinity of a person, the higher the purity of the refined potion will be, and the better the fusion effect will be.

But often the stronger a person's mental strength is, the weaker their affinity will be, and vice versa.

In a sense, spirituality and affinity are like two incompatible extremes.

In this world, it is impossible to trace how spiritual power is generated, but the existence of affinity is inseparable from mermaids.

In fact, in the interstellar age, almost everyone has mermaid blood, but this blood has been weakened during evolution and there is little left.

Studies have shown that the higher the affinity of a person, the longer his T gene segment will be than that of an ordinary person, and this gene is exactly the genetic gene of mermaids.

Therefore, the strength of mental power is generally tested by directly measuring the mental power, while affinity is tested by measuring the T gene segment.

Huo Linyuan is the only pure human in the entire galaxy who has no T gene segment at all. Therefore, if one wants to extract a potion to repair Huo Linyuan's mental power, it can only be done if there is a pure-blooded mermaid with extremely high mental power.

Qi Yan found it hard to calm down when he thought of this. His heart was touched. These two words were like seeds that were buried in his heart and took root.

"This is the egg." Huo Linyuan put his hand on the table, and Qi Yan was exposed to everyone.

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yan immediately felt several gazes focused on him, as if a thorn was stabbing his back, and he couldn't help but shrink back nervously.

"Hello, Dandan. We just met. My name is Ling Qing, nice to meet you." Ling Qing pushed his glasses. Since he had seen Huo Linyuan and Qi Yan interacting before, he greeted Qi Yan naturally.

Regardless of whether the other party is a mermaid egg or not, the fact that Huo Linyuan dotes on him and that he can take the initiative to get close to Huo Linyuan is enough to make Ling Qing respect him and look at him with admiration.

Qi Yan was a little overwhelmed by such a formal self-introduction, which gave him the illusion that he was still alone, so he forgot to react for a moment.

"Can it understand?" Shen Yi walked past Ling Qing and stretched out his hand to touch the eggshell, but before he could touch it, the white egg suddenly leaned forward and hit his hand fiercely.

Qi Yan had not forgotten that he had just called herself a little goblin. However, before Qi Yan could bump into him, Huo Linyuan was the first to notice and moved his hand away.

"Wow, so fierce..." Shen Yi withdrew his hand angrily, while patting his chest exaggeratedly.

"Hahaha, you deserve it," Xi'er patted Shen Yi's shoulder and laughed, then he turned to look at Qi Yan, "Hello, Dandan, I'm Xi'er, and this bastard is Shen Yi."

Just like Ling Qing's reason, Huo Linyuan's attitude towards Baidan alone is enough for Hill to treat him as an equal individual.

At this time, he didn't know that in the near future, this egg would become their group's favorite.

"And me, I'm Anita." Anita grinned at Qi Yan, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Wen Yi nodded slightly to Qi Yan and gave his name as a greeting.

Qi Yan looked at them. These people present were Huo Linyuan's right-hand men. Most of them had followed Huo Linyuan since they were young and were absolutely loyal to him.

Ling Qing: Lieutenant General, Huo Linyuan's adjutant, and also the military advisor of the Seventh Army. He is usually responsible for handling all matters of the Twelfth Army.

But after Huo Linyuan was injured, he exchanged jobs with Wen Yi and temporarily took over the command of the Seventh Army.

Wen Yi: He holds the rank of admiral. He grew up with Huo Linyuan and is the commander of the Seventh Army. Since his mental strength is second only to Huo Linyuan, after Huo Linyuan was injured, in addition to taking over Ling Qing's job, he has also been Huo Linyuan's bodyguard.

It was because he was the only one who had a chance to escape after Huo Linyuan's mental violence and chaos.

Hill: Major General, mechanic of the Mocang, in charge of the engine room and the mechanical corps, and also responsible for the manufacture of mechas and battle armors of the Seventh Army.

He has half orc blood, but because his beastiality genes are one-third less than that of a normal orc, he is regarded as an alien by his family and is driven away.

Anita: Major General, captain of the Mocang, and also the battleship commander of the Seventh Army.

As for Shen Yi, he is the heir of the Shen family, one of the four major families in the main galaxy. Since the Shen family has been on good terms with the Huo family for generations, he has followed Huo Linyuan since he was young.

Now he and Zoe serve as the vanguard of the Seventh Army, and like Zoe, they both have the rank of major general.
