Players’ NPC daddy

Chapter 1514 A few words about the mermaid design
It is actually a very serious matter for a woman to have electronic products in her hands. It’s not that women will do anything with electronic products, but one of the conditions for women to be allowed to receive treatment in [G] Company and its affiliated sanatorium is that women must not be provided with any private high-end electronic products.

Once discovered, the special treatment that woman enjoys as a technical talent will be gone.

Faced with Kitchen Utensils' questioning, the people around shook their heads. Who would do such a thing for no reason?

The woman shrugged and squeezed the phone hard, and the phone immediately fell apart and turned into some strange little gadgets.

"Headphones are allowed, hairpins are allowed, belts are allowed, glasses are allowed, bracelets are allowed..." The woman took the gadgets, called out their names, and then reassembled them into the phone in front of everyone.

“Is it my fault that I put these things together and turned them into a cell phone?”

"This is the boss's fault. This is what he taught you." The kitchen utensil's eyes twitched.

"Me!?" The eldest brother stood up suddenly, cold sweat on his forehead, "I, I want my child to take the civil service exam, please don't involve me!"

"Boss, you don't have any children. You don't even have a partner, and you're the first magician here."

"You guys are calling me boss, show me some respect!"

The penguins are used to this kind of fighting, but there is always someone serious who continues to work. He looks at the computer screen, searching for information about the ocean world.

There are monsters in secret whales that exist in different spaces, monsters with the skill "Whale Fall", and more subtle microorganisms. The amount of data in these ocean worlds is the largest of all areas. In the huge server cluster of [G] Company, there is even a large area specially prepared for the ocean world.

"Ocean World... As expected, almost no players participated in the salvage of the Ica Black Stones. So far, the number of players has been in the single digits. As expected, people still don't like long sea voyages."

"Other areas have a high degree of development, at least 6% of the surface area has been discovered by players, but the ocean world is only about 3%."

"Well, that's because the structural depths of the ocean and land are different. Don't just look at the data." The cook made some pale excuses, and the others had given up.

Normally, Kitchenware would have yelled, "Who did such a stupid thing!" while glancing in the direction of the woman.

But she chose to remain silent, not because she was broad-minded, but because everyone was involved in this matter except that woman.

The woman suggested simplifying the process of players exploring the ocean, or at least not making it so difficult to get started. She suggested setting up more teleportation points for jumping in the ocean, and revealing in advance the props that would allow players to stay in the ocean for a long time.

As a result, these proposals were definitely rejected, and the retribution in this life was that players' exploration of the ocean world was almost zero. The only major progress was completing the Deep Sea Giant series of tasks in the [Fairy Kingdom], which could open a large portal in the sea.

But to pass through that sea portal, deep-sea giants need to open the water mirror door connecting the other side and reality. Deep-sea giants are not as convenient as teleportation towers. They are living ancient species.

Even if the problem of moving in the ocean being difficult and time-consuming was not there, exploring the ocean is still very difficult. There is no tutorial for novices, which means that players don’t know how to explore the ocean conveniently in this world and can only dive directly.

The props that can help players dive have not yet appeared. There is a paradox in it. If you want to explore the ocean world, you must have those props, but if you want to have those props, you must first explore and study the ocean world.

So how did this paradox come about? Everyone knows it, that damned [romantic sentiment].

"The romance of the pioneers..."

"Then what is this? A deep-sea stalker?" The penguin took out a piece of paper from the box. On it was a half-human, half-fish creature sketched with excellent sketching skills.

It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the legendary mermaid, it can only be said that the genealogy is wrong and it is related to the evil god next door.

But when it comes to this, the guilty geniuses begin to argue and criticize the unreasonableness in the romantic fairy tale.

Ocean civilization is ocean civilization. What is the upper body of human beings doing there? Is it possible for the upper body of human beings to survive in the deep sea environment?
And that huge bulge in the chest, do you understand the streamlined body curves needed to swim at high speed in the ocean?

After all, the geniuses respected the original work, but only to a certain extent, which can be seen in their design of the mermaid. The general shape is the mermaid, but the inside is...

The most normal one is the otaku with glasses. All the designs he made are real mermaids, but regardless of gender, their body fat percentage is only about 2%, or even lower, and their upper bodies are all muscular, muscular mermaids.

Glasses geek: I'm being fair! Have you never been whipped by a fish's tail? A fish's tail is much stronger than human muscle of the same proportion. It can break a human body in two strokes. If the upper body is not strengthened, how can it match the fish's tail!
The werewolf programmer has an extremely perfect appearance, almost like a fairy tale mermaid. As a lover of different races, he has taken his interests and hobbies to the extreme, that is, the human part is redundant and just a dispensable part of the ecology.

So the mermaid designed by the werewolf programmer has a fish tail as the main body, and the human body above is just a hunting and escape organ grown by the mermaid, similar to the tail of a lizard and the internal organs vomited by a sea cucumber.

Werewolf Programmer: I don't agree with your evaluation of me as a pervert, because we are the same. Unless the players call my design a pervert, I will admit that I am a pervert.

By the way, this weird thing is really implemented as some kind of mermaid-mimicking monster, so players should be careful.

In comparison, the mermaid-like kitchenware design that resembles a deep-sea stalker is the most normal.

Human skin cannot be immersed in ocean water for a long time, so it has delicate scales similar to skin, and of course the eyes will degenerate into a heat-sensing organ.

Taking into account the image of mermaids in fairy tales, this version of mermaids can sing beautiful songs and also secrete a substance that makes people who inhale it have hallucinations.

"You guys really don't have any romantic feelings at all." The boss commented calmly, because he did not participate in the design of the mermaid project. Of course, this was also partly the reason why his cyborg mermaid was eliminated at the beginning.

"By the way, don't you think it's normal for a cyber-modified half-man, half-fish to move around in the deep sea?"

“Using technology to surpass ecology is cheating.”
