However, when Bai Lixin mentioned “assisting in the research of merman No. 1,” the three of them simultaneously showed a look of understanding. Glasses spoke with a very sincere tone, “God Xin, we all understand. Sperm extraction would be a psychological journey for anyone, but I believe in you. I’m sure you’ll shine brightly and achieve glory in the end.”
Bai Lixin: “…”
‘Sperm extraction? Achieve glory?
These two phrases together is somewhat…subtle.
Strange, I’ll think about it some more.’
Bai Lixin cleared his throat. “But I haven’t made no progress. While cleaning the merfolk’s laboratory, I threw a locator into the sewer. I believe there might be secrets in the sewer, and I plan to check it out tonight during my break.”
Xia Chi immediately said, “Brother, I’ll go with you.”
Although Glasses seemed a bit nervous, he also spoke up, “Um, I also want to go. Is that okay?”
The man in the suit added, “If everyone is going, why not take me too? But God Xin, where is the entrance to the sewer? Have you found it?”
Bai Lixin: “Not yet, but I have a general idea of where the entrance might be. I’ll confirm this afternoon while cleaning. If I find it, I’ll send a message to notify you all. In that case, let’s create a group. Xia Chi, you handle it.”
“Okay,” Xia Chi didn’t hesitate. He quickly created a group, and added Glasses, the man in the suit, and Bai Lixin, forming a temporary four-person team.
The lunch break wasn’t long, and staying together for too long would attract attention.
After mentioning a few more words, Bai Lixin didn’t linger. He carried his tray, emptied the food, and left the restaurant.
As soon as he left, whispers around started again.
“Ugh, shameless, hungry enough to sleep with a fish.”
“Such a beautiful face, yet ended up with a fish, what a waste.”
“Yeah, look at that slender waist and perky butt. I’m so envious. It’s such a waste of natural resources.”
This commentary came from the logistics staff.
“It’s like a flower stuck in a pile of dung. Why did the beautiful merman No. 1 choose him?”
“Even the most beautiful eyes can make mistakes. But this merman didn’t make a mistake, he must have cataracts. So many researchers here, and he picked him. Ah, what a waste of resources.”
This commentary came from the research team.
Xia Chi: “…”
This was probably the most polarized commentary he had ever heard.
Apparently, this unconventional romance between a merman and a human had a hierarchy of disdain.
In the afternoon, Bai Lixin cleaned the data room with another janitor.
As expected, he still didn’t find anything.
It was now 3 PM. After these days, he had roughly understood Dr. Olay’s routine. He would only call him in the morning, and not in the afternoon.
His cleaning tasks were entirely finished, which meant he had a long stretch of private time.
After cleaning, he tidied up and went to the underground floor, the one he used to live on.
