Players’ NPC daddy.

"Ahem, let's keep it simple. In fact, what we need is not only your help, but also the help of the Arcadian people." Kullene coughed lightly and described it with gestures.

To put it simply, it is to use the effect of the resonance between the silver blood and the moon to imitate the effect of the moon close to the sea surface, and use the tidal effect brought by the moon's gravity to pull the surrounding sea water over to speed up the salvage process.

This is a stupid method, but it works.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Didn't we waste the past few days?"

"Well..." Kullene hesitated for a rare moment. Looking at the serious expressions of Blaze and Herbie, he had no way of telling the real reason, which might lead to ridicule.

Blaze is still a human being now, but God can look down on the long river of time. For God, there is no difference between Blaze being a god hundreds of years later and being a god now.

He could joke and play pranks on a god because that was how he treated them, but if he really wanted to ask for help from another god, that would be a different matter.

The helping hands between gods are the interweaving of totems, which must be cautious and serious, so he has been hesitant. Unless Blaze also needs it, he will not easily ask for help.

But this experience of a veteran might seem quite funny and ridiculous in the eyes of this young and energetic guy.

We can wait until hundreds of years later, when this young man becomes a true god, and then we can talk about this embarrassing incident as a bygone era.

"I'm afraid you'll ask for too much. Being at the mercy of others is not a position I'm used to."

"If you keep disgusting me like this, I'm going to really open my mouth." Blaze waved his hand and started warming up.

"When do you want to start? Can we start now?"

"It only works at night. During the day it's high tide, and at night it's low tide. We can't interfere with the laws of nature for our own purposes, or we'll be punished."

"I understand~"

……

At the chaebol meetings, the big chaebols stamped the seals of their own group names on each contract document.

This is something that has not been used for almost twenty years. The moment I put it on, I felt refreshed.

Neylan collected the contract documents carelessly. To be honest, these things were useless because the big tycoons in front of him did not have much credit.

But at least they will not betray until they see that they can monopolize all the benefits.

"Everyone, now that we have signed an unreliable contract, we can start planning." Naylan placed a map on the table, then pushed it open, and a huge sea chart appeared.

"These places are where the concentration of Ica Stone is extremely high. As long as we lay out fishing nets here, we can harvest a large amount of Ica Stone."

"Of course, if there are volunteers who can go directly into the sea to fish, the effect will be better. It's a pity that the strangers will communicate with the [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. It would be better if there were strangers who didn't have such a good relationship with the [Hermes's Traveling Hat]. It's really distressing..."

"No need to test, just give us the gems and we will contact those guys." The big guy waved his hand impatiently.

Those guys are evil foreigners. Doing business with them is a serious crime. You will be implicated in the sins of the evil foreigners and be punished for being an accomplice and supporting a crime.

Even the current president of [Hermes' Traveling Hat], Herbie Hermes, had to pay a large fine for the evil stranger guild called [Somado].

Chapter 1513 A Fish Bucket Begins

Naylan casually rolled the contract document into a stick, walked down a corridor, and headed towards the deepest part of the room.

Like any rising family that achieves a change in status, the corridor is filled with the process of its rise.

From a fish barrel, to a dilapidated fishing boat, and then to a shabby ship that was cobbled together and looked like it was intended to be used for big business.

"Hahaha~ This is not a history of rise, it's clearly a fool's dream, and it was ruthlessly overturned by the waves of reality." Naylan laughed at the murals on the corridor, it was just a pure laugh.

[Abyssion Group], a small chaebol that even the big chaebols can’t remember, started out as a broken fish bucket of a very young single father.

It would be filled with fish after a day of fishing and then taken to the market to be cashed in for livelihood.

The fisherman had great skills, and every fish he caught was extremely plump and delicious. He only sold one bucket of fish each time, so this single father was lucky enough to be called a mysterious fisherman who provided high-end food.

Originally, a bucket of fish could only feed a family for a day, but now a bucket of fish can be exchanged for more money, and the bucket is full in a short time.

The single father's second spring came. He felt much younger and used the bucket of money to buy a fishing boat without hesitation, hoping to catch more fish and gain more wealth.

How stupid! The fish caught by the single father was nothing special. He was just lucky enough to be spotted by the private chef of a small tycoon. Because scarcity makes things valuable, the profit he earned was far beyond his imagination.

The single father's child tried to persuade, but the child was not allowed to say the right thing.

The single father has already called himself a mysterious angler, and now he is preparing more fish for the chaebols who want to eat his fish. The chaebols should accept it with joy, but if the child is right, it will spoil his mood, frustrate him, and make him angry.

Many things that happened later proved some truths: sometimes failure is not necessarily a bad thing.

The single father's fishing boat caught more fish, but the large quantity meant that the quality of the fish was mixed. Fortunately, the single father still cared about the reputation of the mysterious angler, so he threw away the bad fish and kept the good ones.

Perhaps the single father's persistence in some aspect was rewarded, or perhaps the single father's luck really came, the supply increased, the mysterious fisherman became more famous, and he earned more money.

At this time, the child persuaded the father again that it was time to stop, but the result was of course that the single father continued and used the wealth earned from the fishing boat to exchange for a bigger boat, a boat that was capable of traveling to the depths of the ocean and using a huge fishing net to catch more fish than the entire village could eat.

Of course, the Mysterious Angler's reputation was ruined. Even though the single father caught good fish and was very picky about the quality, ensuring that every fish was good, the reputation was ruined.

There is a very simple truth behind this. What the chaebols want is a sense of satisfaction. If they are a mysterious master who is only willing to sell a bucket of fish a day, then every fish is a rare commodity. They enjoy the feeling that only they can eat it and no one else can.

If it was the cargo of a fishing boat, they would frown slightly, but the quantity was still small, so it was still a rare item.

But if it's in boxes, it's meaningless.

Only what the chaebols think is special is special, and only what the chaebols think is good is good. However, the single father simply thinks that the chaebols think his fish is delicious.

Honestly speaking, even without the chaebol path, the catch of large ships is still considerable, but what the single father wants is the high-end feeling of the [mysterious fisherman], the feeling of being recognized.

Being treated respectfully by the once high-ranking chaebols was really a poison. The chaebols only did it for fun, but the single father took it seriously.

But at least the single father knew why the chaebol was no longer interested in him and his fish were no longer rare.

Thinking about it now, maybe it would be better for the single father to be a little more stupid, but he was smart for once, so he sailed the ship into the depths of the ocean to look for rare fish.

He claimed that he was going to catch the rarest fish in the world.

But luck no longer favors him.

The raging waves swallowed up the ship, along with his family members who believed in him.

Stupid man, if he had listened to the child's advice he would not have ended up dying at sea.

but……

"You have indeed found the rarest fish in the world, mysterious fisherman." Naylan pushed open the door to the deepest part of the house, and the wind blew in, and the wind chimes in the shapes of marine animals began to jingle.

"Abyssion, how are you feeling today?"

The answer to his question was a rapid movement of sounds. The marine animal wind chimes began to shake again, making waves like the sound of the tide.

boom--

He was thrown to the ground with great force, and the exquisite contracts made of parchment flew into the sky.

"Woo-woo--" The guy who knocked him down immediately made a panicked and vague sound and raised his hands to try to catch the contracts falling from the sky.

"Haha~ those are not important." Naylan put his hands through the man's armpits and lifted him up.

"The only important thing here is you, Abyssion."

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows allowed sunlight to shine into the dim corridor, illuminating the last part of the corridor, which was a beautiful creature that was rescued to shore by the last survivor of the ship that was about to be swallowed by the ocean.

The legendary mermaid.

"Well?"

The beautiful girl turned her head to look at him and whimpered in confusion. Her upper body was that of a 14-year-old girl, and from her hips down was a thick and huge fish tail.

This fish tail is very beautiful, and every scale sparkles like a gem in the sunlight.

……

"Ah, speaking of Sea World, that's what you did, right?"

The kitchen utensil was holding a chocolate bar in his mouth, sitting on an office chair with his legs crossed. Amid the speechless expressions of "here we go again" around him, he asked the woman who still had electronic anklets on her feet.

The woman did not answer, but walked to the front of the cook, pinched the chocolate bar in the cook's mouth and broke it hard. The cross-section of the chocolate bar revealed a lot of green substances.

The woman sniffed and then made an exaggerated retching sound.

"Ugh - this is broccoli with chicken breast sauce. Do you really need to do this for your image?"

"What do you know! This is called Dubai chocolate. Yes, Dubai chocolate. Rich people like to eat this kind of abnormal stuff to show how high-class they are!"

"I saw you fumbling around in the kitchen making it yesterday. Here's the video evidence." The woman handed her cell phone to the kitchen appliance, which showed the kitchen appliance furtively making chocolate bars in the kitchen.

"Who! Who gave her the electronic product?!"

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.

Items that would help players dive have not yet appeared.

There is a paradox here. 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.
