On the way back, Xi Yao heard some bad news.

[Host, a few hours ago, the Mermaid Research Institute captured another mermaid.]

The voice of 996 was filled with anger.

These people are going too far. Although mermaids live in the sea and have fish tails, their intelligence is not much different from that of humans; they are just simpler.

For personal gain, they disregarded the lives of fish.

Xi Yao's fingers, which were gripping the direction, turned white.

The dim streetlights shone through the windshield of the car, illuminating her fair face, but obscuring the expression in her eyes.

【Host? 】

996 felt a bit cold at that moment; perhaps it was just its imagination?

After all, how could an electronic bird be cold?

"996." Xi Yao's voice was calm. "I want to save these mermaids, and I want the Xia Kingdom to stop capturing and killing mermaids for research purposes."

[Host, some of these possibilities are unlikely.]

The attitude of the Xia Kingdom is unclear; they have been watching helplessly for so many years without any response.

The main researchers studying mermaids are a few leading large corporations in the Sky Dome Group.

There are many people, and there's money too.

Its host can't possibly kill all these researchers, can it?

That's clearly unlikely.

Moreover, even if these people die, others will continue the work.

"So..." Xi Yao's gaze fell ahead, "we must start with the upper echelons of Xia Kingdom."

It will only be effective if the state explicitly prohibits it.

The entire bird froze.

[Host, you don't actually want to control that A above, do you?]

Good heavens, has its host gone mad?

Those who can sit in such positions are all blessed with great fortune, like the dragon aura of ancient emperors, and are also protected by the Heavenly Dao. Host, you...

"What are you thinking?" Xi Yao glanced at the cowardly little leader speechlessly. "How could I possibly control someone at the very top?"

【Then what should we do? Host, how can you get the Xia Kingdom to ban the capture and research of mermaids?】

The host's current identity is merely that of a wealthy heiress, not even that of a second-generation official.

Let alone getting the government to enact laws, under normal circumstances, we don't even have the chance to meet with the higher-ups.

"Hmph, you forgot, your host is omnipotent."

996 still couldn't figure it out until the next day when it saw a news report.

After driving for nearly half an hour, Xi Yao returned to the villa.

The pool lights were still on.

Xi Yao pushed open the door and saw Rong Yu lying on the shore, his chin resting on his crossed arms, looking in the direction she had left.

His eyes lit up when he heard footsteps.

"Yao Yao!"

"Mmm." Xi Yao squatted down and reached out to touch his slightly cool face. "I brought you some oysters, cooked food. Would you like to try some?"

Rong Yu blinked, didn't say anything, but just rubbed his face against her palm again.

Xi Yao opened the insulated box, picked up a piece of oyster meat, and held it to his lips. "Ah~"

Rong Yu ate everything she gave him.

"Is it tasty?"

"Mmm, delicious."

Xi Yao's eyes lit up. "Then let's see tomorrow. If you're not feeling unwell, I'll try letting you eat cooked food in the future."

With so many delicious foods in the world, how could we let him miss them?

After finishing their meal, Xi Yao stayed with Rong Yu for a while longer before they both went to sleep.

the next day.

Rong Yu was obediently watching TV and studying in the pool.

Xi Yao, on the other hand, was surfing the internet.

She needs to gather some information.

While the 996 work schedule allows for rapid information gathering, some things require personal observation for a deeper understanding.

"This afternoon, a major achievement of the Xia Kingdom was unveiled: the first fully operational combat mech officially rolled off the assembly line in the Northwest Assembly Workshop."

This behemoth, standing 6 meters tall and weighing 8 tons, has completed its first full-joint drive test, marking Xia Guo as the third country in Haixing to master the technology of integrating large manned mechs.

A diplomatic spokesperson called it a "milestone in defensive defense technology."

The news broadcast on TV made Xi Yao look up instantly.

She squinted at the clumsy and awkward ugly thing on the screen, and suddenly laughed.

"996, look, the opportunity has come."

996 dropped the sunflower seeds in his hand.

It understood what the host meant.

[Host, do you want to participate in the research and development?]

It had never seen its host so diligent before.

Having traveled to so many worlds, the host possesses various advanced technologies in all aspects.

But the host never did anything; they just spent their days in love, all sweet nothings.

No, what the host needs to do now is also to fall in love!

The reason she was so willing to rescue the mermaid is because the boss is a mermaid!

Having figured out the 996 work culture, I silently shut myself off.

Xi Yao glanced at the suddenly dejected 996 and chuckled:

"Tell me, with what I know, if I just create something, like modifying their so-called milestone mech, wouldn't I have a say in that?"

If they want her to produce more, shouldn't those people fulfill her requests?

After all, mermaid research is insignificant compared to advanced technology and a powerful nation.

Moreover, she also plans to get involved in drug research.

Wait until she comes up with something better than that organ regeneration and repair agent.

At that time, mermaid research became insignificant.

[So, host, you intend to become a national treasure of the Xia Kingdom?]

Xi Yao's eyelids twitched. She was speechless at the description of 996, but she still nodded.

If she really becomes a national treasure, then things will be different.

Xi Yao acted immediately, placing an order online for tools and materials to make a small one by hand.

After placing the order, it was lunchtime again.

Time to cook.

Xi Yao now uses almost no seasonings other than oil and salt when cooking.

Because she wanted to gradually change Rong Yu's diet, starting with lighter dishes.

After lunch, someone came to change the seawater in the pool in the afternoon.

Xi Yao carried Rong Yu into the bedroom beforehand and placed him in her large bathtub.

Then I turned on the tablet so he could continue studying, while I took my notebook and started organizing the materials.

This busy period lasted for three days.

Rongyu has an exceptionally strong learning ability and can already speak in short sentences.

All of Xi Yao's purchases arrived, and she cleared out a large room to begin her work amidst a flurry of activity.

Some materials haven't been developed yet, so she has to work on the materials first.

For example, lightweight, tough, bulletproof, and water-resistant alloy materials.

There are also high-temperature resistant and tough plastics, etc.

Before taking action, Xi Yao prepared an email and sent it out.

"Yaoyao, drink some water."

Seeing that she was busy, Rong Yu handed her the cup he had on hand.

"Thank you, Rong Yu."

To avoid leaving Rong Yu alone in the pool, Xi Yao spent most of her time working by the pool.

But space was limited, and at this moment, Xi Yao's desire for Rong Yu to grow legs was extremely strong.

[Ahhh, host, the system shop has refreshed! What you wanted is here!]

996's excited screams almost made Xi Yao choke.

"What is that? Is it a pill that turns Rong Yu's tail into legs?"
