After becoming a mermaid, I'm a salty fish

after training.

Gu Yu's hands and feet became more sore, trembling even when going up and down the stairs.

Although the physical strength of the awakened person is better than that of ordinary people, the training intensity is also adjusted according to the situation of the awakened person. It is just within the tolerance range of Gu Yu's body, so the result of the training is as sore as ordinary people's legs, but Gu Yu sleeps. I can recover tomorrow and continue training.

Usually at this time, Gu Yu would go back to take a shower and rest.

But Lin Zhou asked, "Do you still want to see it? Teng Tingchun."

Gu Yu just remembered that there is such a thing.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still nodded when he thought of the vine that would be more affectionate.

Luckily it wasn't too far away.

When Gu Yu said he was going, Lin Zhou gave him a surprised look, as if he believed that he was a salted fish, and he was reluctant to walk more.

He followed Lin Zhou to the elevator and went up two floors.

Gu Yu came here when he visited before. It is a venue for awakened people to fight. The whole floor is covered, and the space is particularly spacious, so that they can fight freely when they become awakened bodies.

Lin Zhou didn't take him to the venue, but went to the observation room next door. There was a light screen inside, which showed the scene in the battle room in 360 degrees. The holographic image was broadcast live. You can also pause and fix it at a certain moment, and zoom in to see the details of the action. It is convenient for the awakened to review the game and analyze the reasons for their mistakes.

When they entered, there were already people inside.

It was a cute girl with a petite figure and double ponytails in cherry blossom pink, holding a large bag of potato chips in her hand, and was eating them. A boy with long hair reaching his waist and a stinky face was sitting next to her.

The two of them don't seem to be very old, the boy is about the same age as Gu Yu, and the girl looks like a high school student at most because of her baby face, but in fact, they have both graduated with a master's degree and practiced here.

As soon as Gu Yu entered the door, they noticed it. They turned their heads almost at the same time and stood up subconsciously, "Lieutenant General Lin."

Lin Zhou introduced them to each other and said hello.

The girl's name is Wen Zhizhi, and her awakened body is a silver fox hamster.The male name is Kong Fengyu, and the awakened body is the green peacock.

The appearance of the two of them is really similar to the awakened body, Wen Zhizhi is a bit baby fat, her cheeks are slightly bulging, and she loves to eat.Kong Fengyu's long hair was obviously well-groomed, like silk, when he raised his chin and looked at Gu Yu, he felt vigilant and jealous when he met someone who was prettier than himself, so he couldn't help showing his long tail and opened his screen.

The color is bright, graceful and luxurious, just like an unfolded green yarn palace fan, and the tail feathers reflect a brilliant luster.

The peacock is showing off its beauty narcissistically, and does not want to be compared with others.

Gu Yu praised: "You are so beautiful, your feathers seem to glow."

Kong Fengyu swaggered forward, and replied proudly, "You are quite discerning."

Then, he plucked a feather from the tail screen and gave it to Gu Yu.

Gu Yu smiled, "Thank you, I will keep it in my collection."

Wen Zhizhi's little man also squeezed over, took out a lot of snacks from nowhere, and stuffed them into Gu Yu one after another, making him hug her full.

She smiled and showed sweet dimples, and said: "This, this, this...all are my favorite snacks, they are all delicious, try them."

Gu Yu was slightly taken aback, but also thanked her.

Both of them gave a meeting gift, but Gu Yu didn't bring anything, so he couldn't give it away, so he had to add them as friends first.

After saying hello, they sat down again and continued to watch the match.

Lin Zhou also pulled Gu Yu to sit down, unable to hold the snacks, and put them on the table in front of him.There are a few items in it that Gu Yu likes after eating. He feels that Wen Zhizhi's taste is quite similar to his, so he picked up a pack of beef jerky and tore open the package, biting a piece. It tasted really good.

Gu Yu was satisfied with the meal, and pushed some snacks to Lin Zhou, asking him to eat too, then looked up at the light screen while eating.

It was a holographic live video of Teng Tingchun fighting a tall brown bear, very close at hand.

The brown bear is none other than Hogo's awakened body.

On one side is a slender and beautiful person, and on the other side is a ferocious and terrifying giant bear, with a strong body, bulging shoulders, thick coat, and a body several times the size of Teng Tingchun, looking down at people from a high position.

That strong forearm and long claws could kill someone with a single slap.

No matter how you look at it, it can only be that the fragile Teng Tingchun lost miserably.

But Lin Zhou let him see, it must not be that simple.Moreover, thinking of the characteristics of dodder...

Gu Yu bit the beef jerky and watched it seriously, as if watching a wonderful action movie.

The brown bear stared at the human in front of it, swung its forearm violently, and attacked fiercely.And Teng Tingchun quickly dodged to the side, and at the same time, like a surging tide, many vines protruded from his body, and rushed straight towards the brown bear.

Of course the brown bear wants to hide, but he has a huge body, escaped the vine ball twice, and finally got entangled, like a cage, which bound him tightly, restricting his movements and making him expose A look of pain.

Cuscuta, a parasitic plant, looks weak and tender, soft and powerless, but it can grow wildly and entangle the host tightly.It has special haustoria, which can open the stem of the host plant, continuously absorb nutrients from it, and eventually strangle it completely.

It was once used to describe women who are weak and helpless and need to rely on men to survive, but in fact, this plant is very dangerous and has many terrible names, "the silk thread of the devil", "deadly noose", "plant vampire" wait.

Now, the Teng Tingchun in front of him perfectly explained the horror of the dodder flower.As an awakened person, the characteristics of the dodder flower are even more magnified. Once he has a chance to entangle, even if the opponent is an animal, his vines can still absorb nutrients and consume the opponent's mental power.

Fighting alone may not have obvious advantages, but if he has teammates to help control the enemy, he can attack in a wide range and strangle multiple people at the same time with vines.

Huo Ge fought against him just for practice, to better entangle the enemy and prevent him from breaking free.The brown bear has great strength, and before its body is completely entangled, it tore off the vines, and it was difficult for Teng Tingchun to strangle.When the vine broke, Teng Tingchun also turned pale from the pain.

After intensely coming and going for a while, they finally paused and walked to the observation room.

Although Huo Ge changed back into a human form and put on a T-shirt and pants, his exposed dark skin was covered with staggered red marks, as if he had been restrained... No, he was indeed entangled by vines.

Teng Tingchun brushed the red mark on his arm with his fingertips, squinted his eyes, "It will be gone in an hour, it's a pity."

Huo Ge said: "We will continue later."

Fuji Tingchun smiled.

The two walked into the observation room together, Teng Tingchun saw Gu Yu at a glance, and was a little surprised, "Did you come to see me on purpose?"

This is correct, he did come here for Teng Tingchun, so Gu Yu nodded.

Teng Tingchun was in a good mood, "Then how do you think I played just now?"

"Great."

Gu Yu praised bluntly, with complete sincerity and admiration in his tone.If it were him, he would definitely not be able to compete with the brown bear.It might be able to last a while at first, but it will soon reveal its flaws, and its physical fitness will be a lot worse.

After hearing this, Teng Tingchun smiled brighter and brighter.

Wen Zhizhi and Kong Fengyu came over, wanting to practice against their seniors, and ask for advice.

They happened to be standing next to Gu Yu, and after talking one after another, Huo Ge nodded in response, his eyes seemed to move inertially, and he landed on Gu Yu, asking, "What about you?"

Gu Yu was eating shrimp crackers, but he didn't expect to be cueed all of a sudden, and he froze for a moment before realizing that he was asking him if he wanted to fight.

Looking at them, Gu Yu suddenly remembered the fear that he was dominated by passionate players in the game and was not allowed to surrender. He quickly shook his head, "I'll forget it. I just finished training today, and my legs are still weak. Next time, next time."

Adult's courtesy, next time, I don't know when it will be.

In order to show that she didn't lie, Gu Yu even showed her trembling legs, she couldn't move.

"The training is really hard, Lieutenant General Lin is worthy of being a devil instructor." Teng Tingchun shook his head and sighed.

Lin Zhou glanced over faintly, "Do you want to try training in the army?"

Teng Tingchun immediately waved his hands, "How dare you bother Lieutenant General Lin, I can do enough by myself."

Lin Zhou: "I don't mind helping you practice once."

Teng Tingchun froze.When he was young and frivolous, it's not that he didn't try it. His canes were all useless, and it took him a month to raise them back.

He thanked Lin Zhou for his kindness with a fake smile, and immediately dragged Wen Zhizhi and the others to the battle room.

When walking in front of Lin Zhou, he heard a low voice, implying a warning.

"Gu Yu is in my charge."

Don't try to move him.

The implication was not stated directly, but Teng Tingchun was not stupid, so he understood immediately.

Lin Zhou rowed the person to his side, embraced him behind him, and protected him brightly.

He saw through Teng Tingchun's thoughts at a glance, he likes good-looking people, and it is true that he wants to be friends, but at the same time, his vines are naturally close to beings with high nutrition.The results of Gu Yu's mermaid awakened body examination clearly show that the mermaid's body is full of treasures, and the allure of mermaid blood is even more extraordinary.

That's why Lin Zhou said before that he didn't mean to hurt Gu Yu subjectively, but the vines didn't necessarily mean it.They might not be able to resist the temptation, and when Teng Tingchun was not paying attention, they secretly sucked Gu Yu's blood.

Teng Tingchun's heart tightened, he strictly controlled his vines, and walked out without changing his expression, leaving only one sentence, "I won't touch him."

The voice of the conversation between them was very low, Gu Yu didn't hear clearly, and looked over with some doubts.

Only Gu Yu and Lin Zhou were left in the observation room.

Lin Zhou didn't hide it from him either, and briefly talked about the danger of Teng Tingchun, lest he be hurt when he made friends in a daze.

Gu Yu: "So, he himself is actually a good person, but the vines are disobedient?"

Lin Zhou nodded, "It can be understood in this way."

He really didn't like the fact that Teng Tingchun would send flowers when he saw a good-looking person at certain times, but generally speaking, Teng Tingchun was really not bad, and his strength was also good.

Gu Yu slumped lazily on the sofa, eating a lollipop, and said vaguely: "His characteristic is that only the strong can be friends."

Lin Zhou was puzzled.

Gu Yu turned to look at him, "Aren't you worried that I'm not strong enough and will be sucked by the vines? If I'm as strong as you, the vines won't be able to get close to me at all."

This is an unconscious exaggeration.

Lin Zhou paused, and the corners of his mouth curled up indistinctly.

"Then do you want to increase the intensity of training?"

Gu Yu shook his head in fright. He has already been drilled every day until he is as tired as a dead fish.

The lollipop affected his speech, Gu Yu took it out, the candy ball was crystal clear, and still stuck to the silk thread.He subconsciously licked his lower lip before continuing: "No need, if I really want to get in touch with Teng Tingchun, wouldn't it be good to bring you along?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Yu realized that he was taking things for granted, and Lin Zhou was not his relative, so why should he always be with him?

He changed his words again, "No, you are so busy, pretend I didn't tell you."

Lin Zhou: "Not very busy."

"Thank you, but it's too much trouble for you." Gu Yu was a little surprised, thought for a while, and asked, "Can I borrow the ball? It's very powerful and should be able to protect me."

A good reason to pet a cat.

Lin Zhou was silent, as if he didn't expect Gu Yu to say that.

"No." Lin Zhou refused straight away, and when he saw Gu Yu was disappointed, he added, "The mental body cannot guard against vines."

Gu Yu snorted, "Then I will pay more attention and avoid contact with Teng Tingchun."

He looked up at the holographic image, and the four of them were fighting in the fighting room.

There are strong and weak combat forces, but they all have their own advantages.Wen Zhizhi is petite and nimble, can dodge in one go, and is not easy to be attacked; Kong Fengyu's feather luster can dazzle the eyes and affect the sight, and then take the opportunity to attack; Huo Ge is strong and powerful; Teng Tingchun is good at winding and absorbing, which makes people powerless.

Although Gu Yu didn't directly participate in it, he could learn a lot from watching mature awakened people fight, not to mention there was a famous teacher beside him to explain.

It's like watching a famous teacher's lecture, combined with on-site examples, which is very intuitive.

After reading and listening to it, Gu Yu also had a new idea about her attack method.

In the next few days, he put his insights into practice and was recognized and praised by Lin Zhou. Gu Yu was very happy.

Lin Zhou also gave him a bracelet, made of special silver metal with simple lines.

"This is a defensive bracelet that can protect you. If Teng Tingchun looks for you and I'm not here, you don't have to worry too much."

Gu Yu took a second look and recognized that this bracelet is like what his parents mentioned before. It is a newly developed high-tech product, which is expensive and the quantity is very small. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

"Give it to me?" Gu Yu hesitated.

But Lin Zhou grabbed his wrist and put it on for him directly, as if he couldn't refuse it.

With a click, buckle it.

A circle of silver made Gu Yu's wrist even more white as jade.

Lin Zhou said: "This is a new product from my mother's company. I brought one here. Your safety is very important."

It was only then that Gu Yu remembered that in addition to his status as a lieutenant general, Lin Zhou's family background seemed to be very wealthy. His parents had also had business dealings with the Lin family for many years, so he knew and trusted Lin Zhou better.

There is really no need to refuse.

Gu Yu flicked the bracelet casually, saw that it was shining, and smiled, "Reciprocity is reciprocal, I will give you a gift next time."

When Lin Zhou heard this, a rare smile appeared in his eyes, "Okay."

However, before the gift that Lin Zhou was looking forward to came, he received an unexpected gift first.

He lent his mental body to Gu Yu, but when he just fell asleep, he was awakened by a strange and strong feeling.Then, I sat stiffly and didn't sleep all night.

***

Gu Yu unsteadily turned into an awakened mermaid again, and after two days, she turned back into a human form again.Right now, he can't control how he can change at will, but he has a hunch that he can prepare before the change, so that his clothes won't be torn suddenly, or he will be naked, and he will be too flustered.

But when he became a mermaid, Gu Yu lay on the side of the eggshell, the tail of the fish was hanging down, and he didn't raise it up to splash the water. The whole person was listless and not in a good mood.

His face was resting on the back of his hand, squeezing his soft cheeks, pouting a little, looking unhappy, his other hand was placed outside the eggshell, his thin white fingers moved, making a gesture of touching something , but there is nothing in front of him, only the air can be touched.

He let out a long sigh.

Turn over slowly.

Can't turn over.

Continue to lie down.

A life without cats feels like it's dead.

So painful.

Gu Yu's face was depressed and listless, more like a limp salted fish than ever.

Lin Zhou has been out and busy for the past few days, so he doesn't see anyone.

Originally, Gu Yu thought it was normal. After all, with his identity there, he must have a lot of things to do, and he can train himself, although no one is watching, he will be more lazy.

But later, Gu Yu realized something was wrong, and Lin Zhou seemed reluctant to lend him the ball.

In the past, she would release her mental body from time to time, and Gu Yu didn't need to say anything, as a tacit understanding seemed to be formed between the two of them.

Therefore, although Qiuqiu is no longer his cat and cannot stick together every day, he can basically pet the cat every other day and sleep with him.Gu Yu didn't suffer much.

But in the past few days, when Lin Zhou returned to the base, when Gu Yu eagerly wanted to hug the cat, his face was cold, he deliberately pretended not to see, changed the subject, and then said that he had something to leave.

After coming down several times in succession, Gu Yu could see some clues no matter what.

But he couldn't understand why it suddenly became like this.

Where did you offend Lin Zhou?

Gu Yu hasn't touched a cat for a week, like a person who is addicted to drinking milk tea, if he doesn't touch a cat, he will have nothing to love.

Last time, because he was in his own room, he was a little presumptuous. He buried his belly and sucked the cat, stroked the tail, and pinched the cat's bell.Qiuqiu made a purring sound and was extremely well-behaved, almost spreading out into a ball of soft cat cake in his arms.

Playing cats is a lot of fun, very happy.

However, Gu Yu should have known earlier that he would not have the chance to pet the cat for a long time, and he would definitely stay awake and play the ball until dawn.

Gu Yu let out a long sigh.

The next day, Gu Yu turned back into a human form, and on the way to the cafeteria, he ran into Teng Tingchun.

That feminine face was very recognizable, and as soon as he got close, he could smell the faint fragrance of grass and trees.

Teng Tingchun greeted him with a smile, "Gu Yu."

Gu Yu also responded with a smile, not too far away.

Teng Tingchun didn't get too close, maintaining a normal social distance, but judging from his slightly forward body, he really wanted to get closer to Gu Yu.

"You're in a bad mood?" Teng Tingchun saw it, and asked in a concerned tone.

Gu Yu shook his head, "It's fine."

In terms of training, Teng Tingchun and the others have also taught him, and the relationship between them has become closer, but it has not reached the level of sharing their thoughts.And it's related to Lin Zhou's spiritual body, so of course he won't say it.

Teng Tingchun didn't ask any further questions, but when he was queuing up, he suddenly talked about his affairs.

"Sometimes, Huo Ge makes me very irritable. I don't like to talk. I just keep my thoughts in my heart and don't say them out. I don't have mind reading skills. I hate misunderstandings because I can't speak clearly. You know me How did you solve it?"

His peach blossom eyes were raised, his eyebrows were bright and flamboyant, and he smiled wantonly.

Gu Yu didn't want to hear much at first, so she subconsciously continued, "How to do it?"

"Block him directly to ask. However, don't be too blunt. If you are too tough, it will easily cause counterproductive effects. It is best to be able to induce the other party to speak out on their own initiative and be obedient."

"You need to find a place where the two of you are alone, and you can properly close the distance so that the other party has no chance to hide. If it still doesn't work, I suggest whispering in your ear, it will have unexpected effects."

After hearing Haru finish speaking, Fuji winked at him and smiled.

As Gu Yu listened, he always felt that there was another layer of meaning in his words, which was very meaningful.

But he couldn't figure it out for a while, and it happened to be his turn to order again.

So, he replied, "Sounds really useful, you are very good at it."

Teng Tingchun was not humble at all, nodded and said, "I think so too."

Gu Yu took the dinner plate and found a place to sit down. Not long after, other awakened people sat next to him and chatted with him.Wen Zhizhi also shared with him which dishes in the cafeteria are delicious.

When he came out of the cafeteria and went back to his room to rest, Gu Yu suddenly thought, why did Teng Tingchun's words seem to be said specifically for him?Advising him?

But this is to suggest that he induce someone to speak up?

Gu Yu thought about it.Although he didn't say what was on his mind, it might not be difficult to guess.In the base, the person who gets along with him the most and has the closest relationship with him is Lin Zhou.

Teng Tingchun probably thought there was some friction between him and Lin Zhou.

But his method is between their lovers, is it also applicable to him and Lin Zhou?

Gu Yu thought for a while.

It doesn't hurt to use it, if you fight for it, there will be a cat?

So, when I arrived at the training ground in the afternoon, Gu Yu glanced at Lin Zhou from time to time, thinking about how to implement Teng Tingchun's suggestion.

Lin Zhou naturally felt it, and his body froze, but as if nothing had happened, he began to train and guide as usual.

During the fight, Gu Yu was distracted for a moment and did not avoid Lin Zhou's fist.

Lin Zhou reacted quickly, changed direction in time, brushed past Gu Yu's ear, the fist wind brought up a few strands of black hair, trembling slightly.

"What's the matter with you?" Lin Zhou frowned, his low voice implied criticism, "Inattentiveness in battle is fatal."

"Sorry." Gu Yu was a little annoyed, "Can I take a break?"

Lin Zhou nodded in agreement, and then said, "If you have any questions, you can also tell me, and I will help."

Gu Yu shook her head subconsciously, "It's okay, no need."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he remembered that this matter was related to Linzhou, and only Linzhou could do it.

Seeing his polite refusal, Lin Zhou couldn't help frowning, feeling uncontrollably irritable and annoyed.

Sweat drenched the vest and stuck to his body. He was very hot and in a bad mood.

Lin Zhou stepped aside, with a cold face, grabbed the hem of the clothes with both hands and lifted them up to take them off, intending to change into a clean vest.

The upper body is naked, showing a strong chest without any scruples, and the muscles of the shoulders and back are extremely smooth, full of the beauty of strength.

Gu Yu was walking over, intending to get closer and try Teng Tingchun's method, only to see such an exciting scene.

The pecs are really big.

There is no cover, directly exposed in front of the eyes.

Lin Zhou's hair was also wet with sweat, and beads of sweat kept sliding down his body, as did his body. The color of his trousers was a circle darker, clinging tightly to the deep concave mermaid line.

Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, her mind was blank, and she completely forgot what she wanted to say.

Lin Zhou heard the footsteps, turned his head, and saw Gu Yu standing beside him, very close.And he's staring at his muscles.Lin Zhou froze and forgot to put on a clean vest for an instant, and his voice was still a little hoarse when he spoke, "...what's wrong?"

It was like a switch, like an invitation.

Gu Yu couldn't help but took another step forward, looked at his chest muscles, and subconsciously asked——

"Can I touch it?"
