Bai Lixin’s gaze fell on Lin Xiao’s tray, filled with healthy vegetables and fruits, without a trace of meat.
Seemingly aware of Bai Lixin’s gaze, Lin Xiao explained patiently, “Due to my poor health and a weak digestive system before, I couldn’t eat any meat products. Over time, I developed an aversion to the smell of meat and was forced to become a vegetarian. This habit hasn’t changed even after coming here.”
“Look at me, rambling on about myself. I don’t know if you’re interested in my affairs,” Lin Xiao chuckled, and then shifted the topic. “How about we discuss matters related to the mission?”
Glasses pushed up his glasses and spoke cautiously. “Sure, okay. Let me start. I’ve completed 10% of Task 2. This 10% is for helping Dr. NPC with data integration calculations. It seems the requisite for Task 2 is just completing tasks assigned by NPC.”
“Although we don’t know what will happen later, it doesn’t seem like the danger level is very high for now.”
“There’s also the third task, finding the merfolk’s faith. Last night, when Xia Chi and I followed Dr. NPC on the submarine trip, they discussed the topic of faith In the submarine. This faith should be what we’re looking for. Even though they mentioned it at the time, the progress bar didn’t change much. It seems just listening won’t do, we need to genuinely find the merfolk’s faith. That’s all I know, it’s not much information, so I hope you don’t mind.”
After Glasses finished speaking, he sat upright, looking very nervous.
While sitting, the gaze hidden beneath his glasses kept sneakily glancing at Bai Lixin.
When Bai Lixin looked over, his cheeks reddened, and he quickly hid his gaze.
S419M: [Tsk tsk tsk, the charm of our God of Bad luck is irresistibly vast. Look at how this little Glasses is captivated in mind and soul. Fortunately, our Lord God can’t see this. If he did, he might lock God of Bad luck in a room for some “love education.”]
[Oh, look at my memory. Who said the Lord God hasn’t seen it? Isn’t it that every time they God of Bad luck enters a copy, the Lord God peeks at the screen?]
Bai Lixin: […]
‘You must be itchy.’
Escape System: [But, such a perfect person like the Lord God shouldn’t be so petty as to be jealous Glasses due to jealousy, right? Its understandable that someone as perfect as Master Bai Lixin would have many admirers. If he treats Master Bai Lixin like that just because there’s an admirer, isn’t that a bit petty?]
S419M: [You don’t understand. This is called the drunkard’s intent is not in the wine. Jealousy is just an excuse. Getting action is the real deal.]
Bai Lixin: […]
‘My brain can’t handle you two right now.’
The man in the suit: “Regarding this faith, I’ve made some progress.”
As he spoke, he took out a mobile phone from his backpack. It could be used for everything except making calls and accessing the internet.
After cautiously surveying the surroundings to ensure no one was paying attention, he opened the album, opened a photo and placed the phone in the middle of the table. “Take a look at this. I found it while organizing the data room. The NPC was also nearby at the time, so I quickly took a photo.”
Bai Lixin squinted and looked at the phone. The screen displayed a blurry photo. It looked like it was taken underwater and the overall picture presented a dark gray-blue tone. In the vague image, you could faintly see a statue standing there.
This statue was not one of the two he saw last night but another one. This statue was covered with more marine plants such as algae, obscuring the entire face. He could vaguely recognize it as a statue of a merfolk by the carving.
In the photo, there were no other reference points apart from the statue. The water plants were blurry and couldn’t serve as a reference to determine the specific size of the statue.
Glasses lowered his voice, whispering in a tone only the four of them could hear, “Is this the merfolk’s belief?”
The man in the suit: “At least it’s a direction, right?”
Suddenly, a notification sound rang out in Bai Lixin’s mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, player, there is new progress in Task 3, progress increased by 5%.]
[Congratulations, player, the total progress of Task 3 has reached 35%. Keep up the good work; you’re close to finding the answer. Victory is within sight.]
A single photo increased the progress by 5%, indeed providing a direction.
On the opposite side, Xia Chi and Glasses both showed expressions of surprise. Clearly, they also got a notification.
Glasses and the man in the suit finished speaking, and their gaze shifted to Bai Lixin.
After a brief contemplation, Bai Lixin spoke slowly, “Um, I’ve been working on Task 2 these days. Dr. Olay asked me to assist in the research on merman No. 1. Besides that, I also have to clean various merfolk laboratories. So, I haven’t had the chance to investigate other things.”
He didn’t want to disclose the fact that he had used the invisibility card to follow them underwater, so he chose to conceal it.
Xia Chi also understood Bai Lixin’s intention and cooperated in not saying a word about it.
