Chapter 118 Mysterious Starfish, Mermaid Tribe
Chapter 118 Mysterious Starfish, Mermaid Tribe
There are people living on the border stars, but because all the Zerg will first target the surrounding border stars when they launch an attack, many ordinary people live on those border stars.
Because income is high and expenditure is low.
Some other planets have high incomes and high expenditures, such as the central planet. Some planets have low expenditures but also low incomes. However, border planets are often attacked by Zerg and are very dangerous. A planet cannot be without people, and it is definitely not possible to have only soldiers guarding it.
Therefore, although many people know that they may lose their lives by going there, they will still go for the high salary in order to survive.
Although a lot of people had turned up during the previous turmoil at Yimu Garden, in fact, there were still many planets that had not been included, and those would not be counted when the Federation counted the population.
For example, people from border planets simply don’t have time to go to Yimu Garden. Another example is the special races on some special planets, which are not actually counted in the federal population statistics.
Because most of those special races don't like humans, and many don't allow humans to go to their planets, so they are not included in the statistics.
Moreover, the races from those special planets will not enter the Yimu Garden.
This time when going to the starfish, Yue Yue wanted to keep some mysterious surprises, so he didn't search for information about starfish on the way. Star dew was on the way, and except for those species, Yue Yue learned about the others.
When arriving at the starfish, two wing-like things automatically extended from the outside of the starship. Looking from the inside, they looked a bit like fish fins. After entering the starfish, the starship began to swim slowly.
It was no longer the sky and the starry sky outside, but the seabed. All kinds of fish were swimming freely in the sea. These fish... were so beautiful.
Yue Yue was leaning on the window, already stunned.
Even China's ornamental fish, no matter how beautiful they are, have a limitation, which is the kind of beauty that can be imagined.
But the fish on this planet are completely beyond imagination.
This fish is about the same size as a whale, but its entire body is transparent. Because of its transparency, it seems to emit blue light at the bottom of the sea, which is very quiet and mysterious.
What’s more beautiful is that you can’t see the intestines at all. It is completely transparent with clear outlines. Only the eyes are a much lighter blue than the sea water.
There are also small fish of various colors, some of which even glow, which is magical.
Some octopuses are pink and have super big eyes. They look very cute, as if they only appear in cartoons.
Some of them no longer looked like fish, but had legs and tails, a bit like the axolotls they had over there, but they were much smaller, about the size of a small koi, and when they opened their mouths, a large fish was swallowed into their mouths.
It was outrageous. It swallowed a fish that was about twice its size.
There are also some fish that look a bit like manta rays and are very ugly. It seems that not all of them are good-looking fish.
The starship sailed to a docking point and stopped below. Yue Yue was stunned. This was beyond her understanding.
I saw a place similar to a square below, with several various starships or star ships parked on the square, and there was even a light board sign below.
Looking closer, I saw the sign saying:
←Trading Mall
→Blue Star Restaurant
↑ Tribe
↓Visiting area
???
Yue Yue thought, it is after all a planet, but why does the sign make it seem like this place is so small?
It’s so small that it feels like you’ve arrived in a city.
“Lulu, is this place very small?”
Xinglu shook her head. "No, on the contrary, the starfish is quite big, bigger than some border stars. You think it's small probably because of this stop. This is actually just one of the seven hundred stop of the starfish. This stop is famous because of the trading mall and the visit area. There are other famous places in other places. If you spend a whole morning, you can only visit the places near a stop."
"Then shall we go there in a starship?"
Yue Yue noticed that everyone else swam out and seemed to be wearing special diving suits, but she didn't know if there were any diving suits inside this starship.
Xinglu pointed at the robot in the starship and said, "Explain it."
The robot's red eyes flashed, "Starfish, because their species dislikes humans, they hate starships and think that starships will destroy the starfish's environment. Therefore, they can only stay at docking points, and humans need to wear diving suits to go out."
After saying that, the robot pressed the light panel next to it, and a locker popped out. Inside was a diving suit of much better quality than those worn by the people outside.
Wearing this diving suit is more convenient than wearing clothes. You only need to choose the men's or women's style, and you don't even have to choose the size. The diving suit will automatically shrink or expand to become close-fitting. You don't even need to put it on. You just need to touch it and it will stick to your body and you can put it on.
It’s a must-have for lazy people!
Even though those people outside were wearing diving suits, they did not bring oxygen or oxygen masks. Therefore, after the two of them put on their suits and saw Xinglu walking straight out, Yue Yue did not hesitate and followed.
There is a star track at the tail end of the starship. They just need to stand on it and then they can exit through the extra fins of the starship.
As expected, they no longer needed separate oxygen equipment after getting out. The diving suit could automatically form a protective shield, allowing them to move freely underwater and even talk.
However, this is not always possible.
Xinglu floated in the water, looked at Yue Yue and said, "Yueyue, this diving suit can only last for six hours outside. When the time is up, you can only go back to the starship to change into another one. So, you should put the starship in the cube. Is your cube big enough? Can it fit?"
Yue Yue nodded and directly put the cube into the dining car space.
Naturally, she also had that cube, which was given to her by Baili, but the space was still not enough to accommodate such a large starship, so she had to put it in the space.
Xinglu pulled her along and said, "We can't visit the trade mall for long, so let's go to the viewing area first."
Yue Yue: "Okay."
On the way to the viewing area, Yue Yue could even feel the fish swimming past him. It felt very strange, especially the large transparent fish that looked like a whale, which felt a bit like jelly.
Fortunately, all the fish in this sea area did not attack them.
"A little further ahead is the viewing area, Yueyue, you must take a good look~"
Speaking of this, Yue Yue is really looking forward to it.
“Ahhhhh~Aanan~”
A very dreamy and moving voice came into her ears, like a siren luring you forward in the deep blue sea, or like a natural singer composing the most beautiful melody. Yue Yue felt that she was going to fall in love with this voice.
The tranquil seabed has no waves, and is as peaceful as being in another space. In such a quiet place, there are no lyrics, or even accompaniment, but one cannot help but close their eyes, just to listen to this peaceful yet bewitching song.
As the distance got closer, Yue Yue opened his mouth involuntarily.
That's... a mermaid!!!
Not far away on the seabed, there are several huge shells, each with a different mermaid lying inside. Their colorful tails are swaying lazily, and they seem to be looking intently at the stage with faces favored by God.
The mermaid with a light blue tail on the stage seems to be the darling loved by the entire seabed. The rippling waves seem to be the light shining on her. When the mermaid swings her tail, the whole stage is lit up.
Yue Yue was at a loss for words to describe those facial features and their mysterious charm. Even though she was a woman, she almost couldn't help falling in love with them.
For some reason, a question popped up in Yue Yue's mind.
She was thinking, these mermaids hate humans, maybe because they think humans are ugly?
Although the people in the stars are generally good-looking, they really can't compare to this mermaid.
Moreover, mermaid, merman, and siren, are these three the same?
In the novels she had read before, it seemed that mermaids and mermen were separate, and the sirens seemed to be referring to mermen?
While Yue Yue and Xing Lu were looking at them, they didn't notice that the mermaids were actually staring at them from time to time.
Mermaids all know that they are very beautiful, and they have always believed that humans are not as good-looking as them, but Yue Yue is a little different.
There seems to be an indescribable aura about her? But it doesn't seem like a halo, it's just a feeling that she is quite attractive.
Obviously, Yue Yue's charm buff is very useful. At least with her looks and aura, she has now attracted the few good feelings of the mermaids towards humans.
When the mermaid on the stage finished singing the song, Xinglu and Yue Yue came back to their senses. Xinglu twisted her body, looking like a little fangirl.
"It sounds good, right? It sounds good, right? Mermaids really are the best singers. Mermaids love to sing, but their tribes are mostly in very quiet places. At first, this was not a viewing area. It was just a nice place that the mermaids found. Later, a human praised their singing and said that they should create a viewing area so that humans of all races could have the honor of hearing their singers. Then it became the viewing area now."
"Although the sign says it's a viewing area, it doesn't actually have a bad meaning. It's just for viewing and appreciation, so the mermaids accept it."
"Humans are also not allowed to do bad things to mermaids. For the sake of peace between the two races, although the mermaids don't like humans, they won't take the initiative to target humans. Over time, this viewing area has been left like this until today."
Yue Yue also understood it completely. When she first saw the viewing area, she thought it was similar to the viewing area in the Ocean Park, where she could simply watch those rare and beautiful species. She really didn't expect that it was actually a place to watch mermaids singing.
But it is indeed for viewing. Regardless of whether they are human or not, when people see and hear them singing, they will definitely not have any bad thoughts or opinions about the word "viewing" in their minds.
The mermaids had no intention of talking to them. All the mermaids were packing up and preparing to return to their homeland.
But before leaving, the mermaid with a light blue tail on the stage threw a light blue bead to Yue Yue and then left.
Yue Yue looked at the beads in her hand, then looked up at the mermaid, very surprised.
But the mermaid didn't say anything. She just smiled at Yue Yue and then left.
"What...what's going on?"
Xinglu's eyes lit up: "This, this is the Dark Blue Pearl!"
"Blue Pearl?"
Xinglu stroked her chin and circled around Yue Yue, "Amazing, so amazing, they actually gave humans the Blue Pearl."
“The Blue Pearl, also known as the Mermaid Friendship Pearl, if you get this pearl, all mermaids will not be your enemy, and will help you within their ability. And this is absolutely not available in the trading mall, the most important thing is!
This can communicate with starfish creatures! Yueyue, why? Why did Yan Laner give you the blue pearl? "
"Yan Lan'er?"
Xinglu sighed, "Forget it. You don't even know Yan Lan'er, so you definitely don't know why she gave you the Youlan Pearl. I guess she just likes you. It's said that some humans have received gifts when they accidentally met mermaids. It seems that if the mermaid likes you or thinks you are pretty, she will give you a gift."
I don’t know whether I just like her or think she’s pretty, but it’s a free gift, so I’m just happy about it!
The two of them followed another path and slowly swam to the trading mall.
Along the way, Yue Yue also witnessed the magic of the blue bead.
Some mermaids passing by might have sensed the blue beads on her body. Although they would not smile at her, they would nod and say hello politely.
and!
As long as she holds the blue bead against herself, no matter where she holds it, she can understand what the fish are saying. Not only the fish, as Xinglu said, as long as it is a starfish creature, she can understand it, including the corals. She can hear what they are talking about.
Just a bit noisy.
For example, two turtles have been arguing all the way about who swims slower.
For another example, they are obviously two different species, but they seem to have fallen in love with each other and are performing a sad drama. However, there are no fish around to persuade them to separate. They are simply two drama queens.
Along the way, Yue Yue treated these as gossip and chatted with Xinglu, and Xinglu laughed all the way.
It's at the back...
Yue Yue heard some of the things Yu said about the two of them, but she didn't say anything because it was a bit hurtful to Xinglu after all.
The fish said...
"The one with black hair is pretty. Although not as pretty as the mermaids, she's not bad either. But the one next to her is so ugly."
"Yeah, not to mention that I'm a fish, even if I'm the ugliest mermaid, I will never fall in love with a human. This one is really ugly, but the one next to it is something you can consider."
"I don't know why there is such a big difference when the upper bodies are similar. The mermaids also have colorful hair, but the one next to the black one is weirdly ugly."
"I really don't like humans."
"Me too."
……
Yue Yue's mouth twitched when he heard this.
"00, they all think I'm pretty, including the mermaid. Is it because of the charm buff?"
"Yes, host. Your Charm of All People buff is for all living things. Isn't it very useful~"
Yue Yue: ...
Is it useful? It seems to be a little bit, but it also seems not much.
But it is indeed useful. At least this blue bead was obtained for free by the buff.
The two chatted and laughed all the way, and they arrived there in no time.
This trading mall also has an ancient feel. Unlike the technology that can be seen everywhere in the interstellar world, the trading mall here forms a triangle. The people setting up stalls are all along the edge of the triangle, and the middle is the place for shopping.
