Chapter 1758: Mermaid Rearing Guide 30

Three days later.

Jin Chen woke from the post-transformation coma, sitting in a shell pondering for a long time.

The wound on his back shoulder had healed on its own, but because it was left during a period of extreme weakness, the scar could not completely disappear.

The little yellow fish and Xiao Bai fish stood guard outside the room, exchanging a glance.

Since their Great King woke up, they've maintained this pose for a long time; surely the queen…… oh no, that con artist made them so angry they don't even want to speak.

"What are you doing hiding there?"

Jin Chen turned the shell he was playing with in his hand, his gaze growing deeper as he swept it toward the corner.

The two little mermaids hurriedly popped out, as if they had agreed, one fish hugging one of Jin Chen's hands.

"Great King, don't be sad! You are now the mightiest sea god! Strength matters more than beauty!" the plump little guy Xiao Bai fish shouted.

The loli little yellow fish sighed, "Great King, being troubled by love is no good at all; you need to cheer up!"

Jin Chen: "..."

What nonsense is this.

He shook off Xiao Bai tail fish, then lifted the little yellow fish onto the bed and asked, "Where is the little red bun?"

"Great King! He was taken by a monster." The little yellow fish explained the night's events in a few words, not expecting Jin Chen to not only not be angry but also show a thoughtful expression.

"No wonder you're the smartest of the three."

Jin Chen lifted her down, rose and moved his stiffened bones all over, tapped their heads, saying, "I'm going on a trip; you and the white whale stay in Mermaid City and don't run around."

"If they all get captured, I won't bother to save them."

"Great King, where are you going?" Xiao Bai fish asked hurriedly.

"To go save the red bun."

Xiao Bai fish: "..." Not saying you wouldn't save them!

They're all fish that transformed at the same time; how can the Great King treat them differently!

Blue Star China Investigation Society.

"Xu Yi! Hey, don't look at the press release; outside came a super unbeatable handsome guy, specifically asking for you by name!"

Office colleagues were busy gossiping, sticking their heads out, "Who is it? Is it a lover or a brother?"

Xu Yi stared in shock, raising his head, "I don't have a lover."

But as soon as his words fell, a figure he hadn't seen in a long time appeared in his mind; he nervously gripped the manuscript.

Could it be him.

Xu Yi anxiously rose, the chair behind him making a scraping sound, and hurriedly walked out.

"Eh eh eh, is he really that handsome?" a curious colleague asked the messenger who just came in, "What does he look like?"

"Wow, he's tall—at least 1.9 meters, like a male model."

Xu Yi stepped out of the office main gate, seeing a man casually leaning in the hallway.

"You..."

Xu Yi was doubtful; all his excitement and anticipation vanished at this moment, even feeling a bit disappointed.

He was indeed handsome, the type who could debut on the spot, but he wasn't the person Xu Yi had imagined.

Jin Chen: "Person, what's with that weird look?"

Am I really that disappointing!

Person?

Xu Yi heard that strange name again, one nobody else had ever called him; he looked up in surprise, quickly glancing at those long legs, "You're…… the Mermaid Boss?"

The last four words were spoken so softly that even the surveillance couldn't catch them.

Jin Chen nodded, "Get ready quickly; I'm going with you to the headquarters base."

Xu Yi let out another "ah".

"Wait…… wait a moment!"

He tried to figure out the current situation, then began to scrutinize the boss whose former appearance was hardly recognizable.

Black pupils, black hair; broad shoulders, narrow waist.

Compared to the previous eerie splendor, there was hardly any difference from a human, plus he now had legs!

Only upon close inspection could one see the appearance from his mermaid days.

It seemed he also gained some precognitive ability.

Going to the Gene Fusion Experiment headquarters base to go undercover again—he himself had only found out half an hour ago.

"How do you know I'm going to the headquarters base to go undercover? And…… you barely escaped, why are you going back?"

Humans sure have a lot of questions.

Jin Chen certainly wouldn't say those truths that would embarrass the fish.

"The mermaid youngster was captured; I'm going to save the fish." Jin Chen said solemnly.

It's definitely not for any other reason!

Seeing Xu Yi still hesitating, Jin Chen saw he basically didn't want to go undercover, and suddenly said, "You Zhuoran is also at the headquarters."

Xu Yi: "..."

How could this be!

And when did you have a youngster! Doctor Lin probably doesn't have that ability.

Xu Yi glanced furtively at Jin Chen, wondering if mermaids could…… male reproduction?

Jin Chen gave a cool, aloof glance in return, "What are you looking at."

"No, absolutely not." Xu Yi's eyes were firm.

——

One day later, the High Intelligence Animal Gene Fusion Experiment Headquarters Base.

Someone volunteered to become an undercover agent; the Animal Protection Society was naturally overjoyed, and overnight used its influence to also arrange an identity for Jin Chen that would allow him to enter the headquarters base.

At the base plaza, the new batch of caretakers and experimenters all had to undergo screening roll call here.

The staff member in charge of roll call was still exhausted early in the morning, holding the list and checking each name carefully, when he suddenly let out an "eh" and walked back to face that person again.

"Brother, what did you just say your name was?"

Jin Chen remained silent for two or three seconds, confirming that this name had never been exposed before at the base, and then frankly continued: "Jin Chen."

"Oh damn..."

The staff member sighed softly.

It turns out this person actually exists!

The medical team's gossip said that when Doctor Lin was seriously injured and unconscious, he kept muttering this name.

The staff member's gaze toward Jin Chen instantly became inquisitive, and he couldn't help but think, "tsk tsk."

No wonder he's the person Doctor Lin supposedly keeps in mind—his looks are as if heaven itself gave him a meal.

Jin Chen felt bewildered by the stare, yet he didn't feel anything wrong.

Hmm, good-looking fish always have this kind of trouble.

【……】

How come, after turning into a fully mature body, the host's level of immaturity hasn't changed at all?

Xu Yi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, thinking he should now be able to successfully enter the base, but who knew—when it rains, it pours; just after following the roll-call staff inside for a few minutes, they ran head-on into what was perhaps the hunting team that had just returned from training.

You Zhuoran then led the team at the front of the hunting squad, and the two of their gazes instantly collided.

At first glance, You Zhuoran thought he was seeing things, and meanwhile cursed himself for having hallucinations again.

On the second look, You Zhuoran saw that this hallucination was actually mixed in among the newcomers.

On the third glance, You Zhuoran's steps halted, unable to believe as he continued to stare.

It's not a hallucination!

"Wait a moment!"

You Zhuoran called out to them, his dangerous gaze flicking quickly over Xu Yi's retracted-neck face, then toward the guiding staff.

"Are these all the new hires reporting for duty today?"

"Yes, Captain You, is there something you need?" that person asked.

You Zhuoran: "……"

His gaze was piercing; Xu Yi felt a bit instinctively afraid, and unconsciously moved to hide behind Jin Chen, who was also watching the spectacle.

Just that little dodge made You Zhuoran's gaze even more intimidating; he coldly swept it over the man whose appearance obviously stood out from the others.

Who is this person? Did he come with Xu Yi? Just looking at him, you can tell he's no good.

Jin Chen: "……I'm about to hit someone."

Xu Yi shrank back in a second, not daring to provoke the Mermaid Boss, who seemed to have become unusually easy to anger.

You Zhuoran said coldly: "Give me the list to look at."

He wanted to see just what identity this undercover agent actually had!

Upon taking the roster and looking, it was Jin Chen!

Jin Chen!!

You Zhuoran sucked in a breath of cold air, his pupils constricting as he stared at the black-haired, black-eyed man.

Jin Chen curled his lips, raised an eyebrow at him, and said, "Long time no see."

Although it was a silent lip movement, You Zhuoran still sensed a wave of unease.

Even the cool headquarters is about to be broken!

It's just unknown whether Lin Juan can still control the mermaid who can now freely transform her legs and whose strength is unknown.
