An invincible journey starting from a different race

Ah, this is indeed interesting.

Aesop swam directly towards the nearest mermaid, but when he was halfway there, he suddenly thought of something and turned his body to take a look.

Sure enough, there were two huge faces next to the aquarium, pressed against the glass.

It was Jer and the little magician.

Aesop fell into deep thought.

If I copied Ganqiu's deeds at this time, would Jier laugh at me like he laughed at Ganqiu?

Aesop thought it was possible.

So how can you make your performance better?

Aesop suddenly remembered what Abel had once told him.

"Do you know, my disciple? Star magic is different from other magic. It is magic engraved in the soul. Do you know what this means? This means that even if your physical body is gone, as long as you have a new body and transfer your soul to it, your strength will not be diminished at all!"

"Hahaha, of course. I believe that with your future achievements, no one will be able to harm your body. But no matter what, star magic is just so magical."

"Also, star magic has the ability to bring all things together. The lower the creature, the more they will want to be close to you. It's almost like an instinct. Of course, your affinity with these lower creatures doesn't seem to be of any use..."

At that time, Aesop felt that these two points were useless, because when he was hiding in the academy, he had Abel's protection and no one could harm him. According to Abel's plan, by the time Aesop could leave the academy, he would have become an arcane master, and it would be even more impossible for anyone to harm his physical body.

And secondly, as an arcanist, who would care about those lower creatures?

At least that's what Abel thought, but for Aesop now, it is indeed different.

Otherwise, give it a try.

Aesop began to try to condense star magic in this small aquarium.

He didn't dare to condense too much. After all, all he had condensed now was arcane magic, so he only condensed a little bit.

Then, he saw all the mermaids in the box, who were wandering aimlessly just a second ago, turned their bodies and "looked" at him.

And...it's not just in this box.

In the sea snail box, Stank was having a great time with his family, when he suddenly found that his "sisters", "sisters" and "daughters" seemed to have sensed something, and they all turned around and looked at another box.

"Uh, what's going on?" Stank didn't know what was going on and subconsciously swam towards his "daughter". "My dear daughter, Daddy is here."

But the "daughter" stopped him and shook her head violently: "No, I don't have you as a father."

"……What?"

"My dad..." She looked at the other side of the box with great interest, "Over there!"

Stank: “???”

The same thing happened in the shrimp box on the other side. Gan Qiu was pushed away by a female shrimp, who then said viciously, "Go away! You short-tempered bastard! I don't want to see you anymore!"

Gan Qiu: “???”

What?! I was rejected by a shrimp?!

"I don't want to laugh with you anymore!" The female shrimp also turned her head and looked to the other side. "I want to pursue true happiness!"

Stank and Ganchu had no idea what was going on, and Jer and the short magician outside had even less idea what was going on.

They just saw that the marine creatures in other aquariums were jumping high out of the aquarium like crazy, and then jumping into the box belonging to the sea fish. It was so lively.

“What the hell…what the hell is this?!”

341 Merlot Mermaid

A review guide for "The Sims of the Water Tank".

Stank: "Today I went to a nightmare shop called 'The Sims of a Tank'... Honestly, I don't think it should be called that at all. First of all, there are no real nightmares here, and secondly, the simulation isn't really life. It's more like the life of fish, shrimp, and crabs, but it's not life at all. It's basically transferring your consciousness into a male marine animal, letting you have a great time with the females of the same species. This time I chose to become a sea snail, and the first half of the experience was pretty good because the manager can change your aesthetic to match that of a sea snail. So when you look at those sea snails as a human, you think they're ugly, but when you look at them as one of their kind, they're the most beautiful of beauties."

"And these sea snails are basically your family, your sisters, your younger sisters, even your daughters. So if you want to be a beast but don't dare to be one in real life, you can try to come to this store and experience the thrill of being a beast. And these sea snails are all centered around you, so you can get a great sense of satisfaction from it, so I'd say the first half of the experience is pretty good."

"As for the second half... I can't explain it too clearly, but it's best not to go there with a magician, otherwise the experience might not be very good. Especially when you see the daughter who just called you daddy suddenly call someone else daddy... Fucking Aesop (crossed out). All in all, if it weren't for the second half, I'd give it a 7. It's a nightmare shop that you have to experience."

After writing this passage on the parchment, Stank dipped his finger into the wine that was served to him, and then casually drew a "7" on the parchment.

Gan Qiu, on the other side, was furiously writing with his head down, a resentful expression on his face. "'The Sims of a Water Tank,' let me start with one very unsatisfactory point... I'm already playing the Sims, can't I simulate a better life? How come it took me three seconds before the simulation, and still three seconds after? Then wouldn't my simulation have been in vain (crossed out, crossed out)? What I mean is, for Xiami, who are known for their efficiency in that area, the experience is terrible. After all, you're just a shrimp, unable to even stall for time with the preparations, and you jump right into a real fight and then have it end so quickly. I don't think that's acceptable. If it were longer, the experience might be better. But just for the novelty, you're definitely worth giving this shop a try."

"Of course, don't travel with those who practice star magic; they'll ruin your gaming experience. Especially when you see that shrimp girl who just looked at you with such disdain suddenly zigzagging through other aquariums, that feeling is really... fucking Aesop (crossed out). All in all, I could have given it a passing grade, but the overall experience was really mediocre, so I can only give it a 4!"

Gan Qiu did not dip his finger in the wine, but directly used the pen and ink to draw a big "4" on the parchment. The force was so strong that he almost punctured the entire parchment. It was obvious that he was very angry.

Jer's account was briefer: "Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience it. Just when it was supposed to be my turn, someone in the group, who wishes to remain anonymous, destroyed the entire venue, and all the marine life ran over to him. To Stank and Ganqiu, it might have been a silver party, but to me, it was just a seafood stew cooked without a fire. So I can't really offer a proper review. The only thing I can say is that, even if I didn't personally participate, watching my companions transform into various small fish and shrimp and reproduce right before my eyes... was quite interesting. For that alone, I'll give it a 5."

Compared to Stank and Ganqiu, Jair was much more elegant. After all, since he had no experience, he would not have a bad experience, so he was still relatively calm.

Next up is Aesop.

Aesop's is the longest.

"My experience with fish after becoming a fish... (The following 300 words omitted)"

"My experience with the shrimp after becoming a fish... (300 words omitted below)"

"My experience with the sea snail after becoming a fish... (300 words omitted below)"

"On how to use magic to solve reproductive isolation... (1,800 words omitted below)"

"All in all, spending one part of the money and enjoying five, six, seven, or eight parts of the pleasure is quite worth it. However, these marine animals all have a huge, unsolvable flaw: they don't have breasts. Female creatures without breasts are incomplete and unhealthy. So I can't give it a very high score, but it's still barely passable. The following are the accompanying images (sea snail.jpg), (sea fish.jpg)... (Stank.jpg), (Ganqiu.jpg)"

After writing everything, Aesop proudly wrote a "6" on it.

I originally wanted to submit it like this, but after thinking about it, I added another sentence.

"However, when using attraction magic, you still need to be careful about the scale. Lower creatures are very sensitive to magic. It may not matter to you, but it may make those you are traveling with feel uncomfortable."

After he had finished writing, Aesop found that Stank and Ganqiu were staring at his parchment.

then……

"You still know how to be unhappy!"

"If you dare to use this method in front of me again, I will kill you!"

The two men grabbed Aesop's neck, one on the left and one on the right, and shook him back and forth.

Then they heard a "puff" sound, and it was Lena who was looking at their evaluation guide.

Lena seemed to be trying to act more ladylike, and didn't laugh so loudly at first, but soon she couldn't help it and burst into laughter.

"You guys are so interesting," Lena said. "Now I believe you are really people in the book."

Stank and Ganqiu finally let go of Aesop, and then said to Lena unhappily, "So we've completed the preliminary mission. Can you hand over that mission to us?"

"Of course, no problem." Lena patted her flat chest, "I'm a man of my words. Here, here you go."

Lena handed the order to Stank.

"That's the address of Atlantis," Lena said. "Once we get there, we just need to find a mermaid named Melo. She's the one who issued this commission."

"Melo Mermaid?" Stank nodded. "Okay, I'll remember the name."

Gan Qiu lay on the table and said weakly, "Can you serve the food soon? I'm starving."

"Come, come, come! Come and try my new cooking." Lena brought a plate of hodgepodge over. "How is it?"

"what is this?"

"Seafood stew," Lena introduced excitedly, "It's boiled shrimp, fish, and sea snails... Hmm? What's with that look on your face?"

Is the mermaid in 342 a fish with her upper body or her lower body?

"So what kind of place is that?"

After receiving the commission from Lena, the foursome immediately hit the road and left the Nightmare Street which was still under development.

There was no other way; it was simply too expensive. The prices for various services and projects were significantly higher than those in Nightmare Town, and being unemployed, they found it difficult to afford. So, after receiving the commission, they quickly set off for the seaside. It was only after a day and a night of travel that Stank posed a soul-searching question: "What exactly is Atlantis?"

Gan Qiu looked at Stank in shock and asked, "You don't even know what Atlantis is, and you want to accept this commission?"

"Well, I don't know much about the sea, but if you know, it's all right," Stank said. "If you know, it's like I know."

"...Is it possible that I don't know either?" Gan Qiu said, "Before this, I had never even heard of the name Atlantis."

"What about Jer?" Stank asked again.

"I do know."

"That's okay."

"But I only know this name," Jer said quietly, "I don't know anything else."

In an instant, the three-person team fell into silence that lasted for a minute.

This is a bit embarrassing.

"So our focus before was so much on that harem?" Stank's expression turned unhappy. "And no one noticed what Atlantis was?"

"Seeing you're so excited to continue, I thought you knew!" Gan Qiu said, "Who knew you had no idea at all? So what exactly is Atlantis? That damn cat girl talking about having a harem doesn't mean we're going to go to an aquarium like before and play with a bunch of fish and shrimp, right? Asshole! I really don't want to have that experience again!"

When fish and shrimp were mentioned, everyone present felt a little nauseous.

Even though a whole day and night had passed, they still hadn't recovered.

It was like that: the family members who had just called you "Dad," "Brother," and "Brother" suddenly turned into a pot of thick soup, and the lovers who had been shouting "Dear, you are so strong" turned into sashimi. Even these experienced and experienced escorts couldn't bear it. This was one of the reasons they quickly fled. No one wanted to experience that again.

"Aesop, what do you think?" Stank had no choice but to place his hopes on the most educated person present.

Aesop thought for a moment and said, "I think there's not enough salt."

"Who the hell asked you that? And you actually answered it! What kind of devil are you? You're going to hell!" Stank asked angrily. "I asked you if you knew what Atlantis was."

"Oh, about that." Aesop nodded and said, "I know a little, but not much."

"Only a little? That's fine too." Stank nodded and said, "I hope you understand the key points. Tell me."

“There is reproductive isolation.”

"Fuck you... this is too much!" Stank's mouth twitched wildly. "I wanted you to tell me what kind of place that is! What kind of people live there? And our client this time, that mermaid Lena mentioned, is her upper body a fish or her lower body a fish?"

Aesop suddenly realized: "Oh, so this is the key point."

"What else do you think?" Stank looked into the distance, vaguely seeing the azure ocean. Then he said, "We're almost at the beach, right? But we're not there yet, so there's still time to regret. If the mermaid Lena mentioned is the same kind of fish we saw in the aquarium yesterday... I think we still have time to turn back."

Jer and Ganqiu nodded in agreement. They really didn't want to see the situation like yesterday again.

Aesop said, "Whether the upper body is fish or the lower body is fish, I really don't know. Even in the academy, there are very few records about Atlantis. The descendants of the sea didn't even participate in the war that lasted for hundreds of years. Even before the war, there was very little news about them. Legend has it that Atlantis was the largest city in the ocean, so all the descendants of the sea claim to be from Atlantis. However, the real Atlantis was probably destroyed thousands of years ago. What the descendants of the sea say now is just a spiritual sustenance at most."

No one expected Aesop to say so much in one breath. Stank looked at him in surprise, and then said, "Don't you know a lot about this?"

"That's all." Aesop frowned and suddenly began to think.

Stank noticed the change in his expression and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking about what you said just now. Is the mermaid's upper body a fish or the lower body a fish?" Aesop said seriously, "This is a very philosophical question."

"Philosophy?" Stank was a little confused, not knowing how his casual question had turned into a philosophical question. "What does this mean?"

Aesop didn't say much, he just took out the parchment and drew two "fish" on it with the magic pen.

"Look, this is a mermaid with a fish upper body." Aesop showed the painting to the three of them. In Aesop's painting, the mermaid's upper body was a strange-looking fish head, but her lower body was a pair of long, beautiful legs that could be played with for a year. Just looking at it made her feel very tempting. "Can you accept this?"

"This..." Everyone first looked at the upper half of the strange fish body, "This is definitely not possible..."

Then he looked at the long, beautiful legs in the lower body.

“…Is it not possible…?”

Aesop asked, "Is it possible or not?"

"This is too weird!" Gan Qiu shouted, "Is there really such a creature?!"

"Maybe it really exists before we see it?" Aesop showed another picture to everyone. In this picture, the lower body of the mermaid was a fish fin, but the upper body was indeed the image of a young woman with fair skin and big curly hair.

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, this is OK, I think this is OK."

“But there’s another problem with that.”
