Under Xia Chi’s cover, Bai Lixin, who was using the invisibility card, smoothly slipped back into the dormitory on the third floor.
As he changed his clothes, there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Bai Lixin found a scientist in a white coat standing there.
The scientist pushed up his glasses and said emotionlessly, “Dr. Olay is looking for you.”
Bai Lixin responded with an “Oh” and was about to close the door when the scientist leaned against it, asking, “What are you doing?”
Bai Lixin: “Of course, I’m getting ready. Dr. Olay called me over, so he probably wants me to charm someone. Then I need to dress up nicely to be worthy of the money he gave me.”
The scientist: “…”
‘This is the first time I’ve seen someone so shameless!’
The door was closed with a bang, and five minutes later, it opened again.
The scientist looked at Bai Lixin and blinked in confusion, “Where are you dressed up?”
There seemed to be no change from when he opened the door earlier.
Bai Lixin asked, “Can’t you see the improved temperament?”
The scientist: “…”
‘Who are you trying to fool? There’s no change at all!’
When Bai Lixin arrived outside the door of Lab 1 on the first floor, the door was wide open.
Besides Dr. Olay, there were two other people inside.
They were originally facing away, but when one of them turned around, Bai Lixin recognized him as the blond doctor from yesterday.
He didn’t know the other person, but he guessed he should be Dr. Olay’s assistant.
He wanted to eavesdrop on what they were saying but as soon as he stood still, the scientist behind him knocked on the door, “Dr. Olay, Zero is here.”
Bai Lixin: “?”
‘Even you know I’m called Zero? It seems Dr. Olay always introduced me as Zero.’
Dr. Olay frowned. He glanced at the calm water’s surface and said solemnly, “Let’s go out first.”
Seeing Dr. Olay coming out, Bai Lixin glanced at the pool through the open door.
The fish by the edge lay calmly on the plate, showing no sign of having been moved.
“No. 1 hasn’t eaten?” Bai Lixin was a bit surprised.
Dr. Olay glanced at Bai Lixin irritably, “He might be waiting for you.”
Bai Lixin: “Waiting for me?”
Dr. Olay said, “Since you left yesterday, No. 1 hasn’t emerged from the water. He hasn’t touched his food.”
Not only that, but when he tried to communicate with No. 1 yesterday, he only said, “get out,” and ignored him after that.
A completely unreasonable attitude.
“Take this.” Dr. Olay handed a blue folder to Bai Lixin and then thrust a recording pen into his hand.
Bai Lixin opened the folder and looked inside. They are were 20 vowel letters.
In this world, writing comprised both characters and syllables, where syllables indicated the pronunciation of characters.
He glanced at the blue folder and then at the recording pen, “What’s this for?”
Did they want him to record the merfolk’s pronunciation?
“Don’t you know? I thought you considered yourself very smart,” Dr. Olay sneered, “The pronunciation of our words can be arranged and combined through these twenty vowel letters. I’ve speculated for a long time that merfolk can speak the human language, but despite my extensive research, there was no sign of merfolk speaking.”
“Until you appeared.”
“Though I don’t like you, I have to admit, your arrival made merman No.1 start speaking.”
Dr. Olay spoke through gritted teeth, “I have something to trouble you with. I hope you can cooperate with us to record merman No. 1. If merfolk can clearly articulate all our vowel letters, it can essentially prove that merfolk can speak all human languages.”
“It would be a miracle when we cultivate ornamental merfolk in the future. Just imagine, who wouldn’t want to raise a merfolk that looks good, can talk, and is understanding?”
Bai Lixin raised his head upon hearing the first sentence, “Ornamental merfolk?”
Dr. Olay closed his lips, “Nothing, you heard it wrong.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘If I, a Lord god, heard wrong, then what of the rest?
So, this laboratory is secretly cultivating ornamental merfolk?
Could they have already started taking orders?’
‘If it’s ornamental merfolk, then Dijia, as the most beautiful and eye catching among the merfolk, would undoubtedly be the first choice.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, poor Dijia.
The character in this copy was not only captured, imprisoned, and confined but also destined to be sold.
How miserable.’
His old gong seems to be a prime candidate for the rescued heroine character.
Isn’t it time to show his boyfriend power?
After taking a glance inside, Bai Lixin’s thoughts took a wicked turn.
‘But…isn’t there a possibility for me to counterattack in this copy?
Although being served is quite comfortable, occasionally playing the attacker, and making the old gong cry and beg for mercy seems exciting.
Hehehe.’
“I’m talking to you, did you hear?” Dr. Olay’s impatient voice snapped Bai Lixin out of his wild imagination.
Bai Lixin raised his head, “Huh? What were you saying just now?”
Dr. Olay took a deep breath and pointed to the recording pen in his hand, “I told you to record No. 1’s voice. Can you do it?”
Bai Lixin pondered for two seconds, “You didn’t mention this task before.”
“This is an additional price; you need to pay extra.”
Dr. Olay’s breath hitched, “Isn’t one hundred million enough?!”
Bai Lixin: “That’s just money for selling myself. This is a tech stock, it’s different. I’m smart, don’t try to trick me.”
Dr. Olay was furious, “Then how much do you want?!”
Bai Lixin: “At least add five thousand more.”
Dr. Olay choked.
