Chapter 17
At the end of the first class, Ji Mingjiang just stretched out his stiff tail because he didn't exercise in the morning and prepared to continue the next class, when he heard a sudden commotion from the side.
He turned to look over.
The few little mermaids headed by Karl are pawing at the edge of the pool, staring at the small dried fish in the hands of their breeders. No matter how much the breeders persuade them, they are unwilling to continue learning.
Ji Mingjiang found that these mermaids are not as silly and sweet as he imagined, at least they clearly know their own advantages and are good at using them.
For example, use a sweet and soft voice to act like a baby to the breeders to let them rest for a while, for example, gently pull the corner of the breeder’s white coat with a slender wrist to eat another small dried fish, for example, lift up your white tenderThe clean face stared at the breeder without saying a word...
Ji Mingjiang looked dumbfounded. Is the local mermaid painting style so weird here?Where did you learn all this!It's outrageous!!
What shocked him even more was the trainer's nonchalant attitude and her words. Although there are limited words that can be translated, that sentence means "don't use repeated moves against me anymore, it doesn't work anymore"!
Have you gotten used to it?!
When Ji Mingjiang was shocked, the mermaids next to him saw that it was useless, so they simply played a rogue, sank to the bottom of the water and refused to go to class.
Seeing the bewildered and helpless but tolerant expressions of several trainers, Ji Mingjiang silently buried half of his face in the water, and then vomited a bubble in confusion.
He glanced at Carrie who was also shocked, turned around and patted the tail of the fish and swam towards Carl.
"Why are you all hiding under the water, won't you have class for a while?" He asked strangely.
You have to take this kind of class sooner or later, how can you graduate if you don't finish it.And it's just watching a video, at most there will be a dozen or so end-of-class tests at the end, and it's not like in his previous life that there are endless homework and exams after the class, so why are you so repulsive?
Ji Mingjiang, who came out of the sea of books and questions, was very puzzled.
Carl also looked at him with strange eyes: "This kind of class is very boring, and no mermaid would like to go to class, right?"
Indeed, he had to admit that he would not have enjoyed the class if he hadn't been anxious to learn about the social situation here.but……
"Let's not talk about whether you like it or not. If you don't take classes, you won't be able to graduate. How can you go out to find a job? You can't stay here forever." Ji Mingjiang said helplessly to a few mermaids with ignorant eyes.He felt like a persuasive high school teacher, or the kind with a super good temper.
Speaking of which, since I am the youngest here at the age of 16... there must be no adult mermaids still dawdling here, right?
Thinking of this possibility, the corner of Ji Mingjiang's mouth twitched.It's a pity that these mermaids can't tell which one is an adult and which one is not from their appearance. They all look much younger than him.
He was about to ask about their ages—only he reported his age last night, and the other mermaids just said that they were all older than him.Ji Mingjiang heard Carl ask him in a dazed and puzzled tone: "Lan Sai, what are you talking about? What about graduates and jobs, we don't need to work."
"?" Ji Mingjiang looked back in the same confusion.
"Then what are we going to do in the future?" This mermaid center doesn't look like it's keeping pets either... right?Could it be some advanced method of raising pets in the interstellar era?
Unexpectedly, when he asked this sentence, Carl blushed again!
You blushed with a hammer!!Ji Mingjiang looked at him in horror.
Then heard something even more frightening to the fish.
Carl said: "Don't you know about Lan Sai? We didn't say that we graduated, but we do a spiritual match with the people who come here on the annual matching day. If it is suitable, we will go back with that person.Then I will be responsible for helping him with spiritual counseling, and my life will be better than it is now. In fact, the important lesson is only the one that teaches us how to use spiritual power to guide others, and it doesn’t matter whether we learn or not to learn the rest.”
"Also, I heard that some mermaids will form partnerships with the humans they match... Because of the two-way selection, those people are very good-looking."
Speaking of this, the blush on Carl's face became more obvious.
Ji Mingjiang, Ji Mingjiang just wants to travel back to more than 20 minutes ago, and slap that self who was blatantly complaining.
Let you set the flag indiscriminately!It's all right now!It's really a blind date meeting!!
"However, the class still has to be held... don't you all plan to go out in the future?" Ji Mingjiang asked desperately struggling.
And even if someone raises it later, but if you don't know anything, are you going to give up communicating with other people completely?
"Why do we have to go out? I heard from those seniors who have already been matched that the only thing we need to do is to provide spiritual counseling for the matched people. They will be responsible for other basic necessities of life. We don't need to go out. Besides, how do weGet out?" Speaking of this, Carl shook his little black fish tail.
"Bouncing around with its tail? Impossible."
Ji Mingjiang felt that this sentence was strange, but he couldn't think of it for a while.But looking at the tails of Karl and the other little mermaids, he had no choice but to agree with this statement.
Even if merfolk can actually jump forward with their tails, their too thin tails don't seem to be able to support a few steps.
"Okay, then I'll go up first." Facing the ghost-like eyes of Carl and the other mermaids, Ji Mingjiang waved at them.
But did the system say that his tail could become a human leg?
After Ji Mingjiang gave up persuasion, he went upstream, thinking about this question, hiss... He scratched his head—it was too long ago, and the system seemed to have said a lot of things at that time, and he couldn't remember clearly.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, even if it can be changed, he doesn't know how to change it now, so let's take it one step at a time.
The most important thing for him right now is...
Ji Mingjiang poked his head out of the water, shook his wet hair, looked at the worried Carrie, and said, "If they don't come up, can I continue?"
However, Carrie didn't answer the conversation immediately, but just like Qin Shasha and the others, she was stunned for a while.
Now that Ji Mingjiang has been confirmed, this is probably the function of the so-called spiritual counseling.But...he just said something?Doesn't serious spiritual counseling involve singing some special healing songs?
"Carrie?" Seeing the trainers who had not moved for a long time, Ji Mingjiang softly called her name again.
"Huh? Well, yes, you can operate the screen yourself." After recovering from her senses, Carrie woke up Qin Shasha and the others, and walked to a place where they did not block their sight.
After being pulled aside, Qin Shasha realized what happened just now. She looked at Carrie in surprise, and repeatedly confirmed: "Did I hear correctly just now? Did Lan Sai take the initiative to talk to us? And by the way, helpDid we do a spiritual counseling?"
Her animalization direction is sika deer. When she is not working, she usually likes to go to some tourist planets with grassland and forest as the main project, but recently because of her busy work, she has not gone out for a long time.
And at the moment when Lan Sai spoke just now, she seemed to smell the moist smell of the soil after the rain, and there seemed to be a scene of raindrops slowly sliding down the tip of the grass in front of her eyes.
"I feel that the whole person's mind is much clearer now." Qin Shasha sighed, "Lan Sai's ability is really strong, and I don't know what kind of person he will choose on the matching day next month."
"Yeah!" Carrie covered her mouth and let out a soft cry when Qin Shasha mentioned the matching day next month. She looked at the people who were looking at her with some embarrassment, and said, "Suddenly thinkGet up, I don't seem to have told Lan Sai about this. But, Lan Sai is not yet an adult, and he has just come here, will he also participate in the matching?"
Qin Shasha couldn't help but feel a little helpless when she heard her words, but after all, she was an intern who had just become a full-time employee, and it was understandable that she made some minor mistakes on the first mermaid she took care of.
As for her question just now, after all, Qin Shasha had never been in charge of an underage mermaid, so she had to turn her attention to other colleagues for help.
Among them happened to be a very experienced breeder who had taken care of many mermaids.
Seeing the curiosity on the faces of these young trainers, Song Li smiled gently, and motioned them to go to the door to talk, so as not to disturb Lan Sai, who rarely likes to go to class.
"Regarding Carrie's question, underage mermaids can indeed participate in matching, but the conditions are relatively strict. For example, there will be some additional learning requirements for little mermaids, and the examination of matchmakers will be more comprehensive and detailed., The observation period and return visit period will also be extended.”
"If it's Lan Sai..." Song Li looked back at this mermaid who was too good in every respect, and nodded at them, "Lan Sai can participate in the matching day, and certainly notThere is a problem. Carrie, you need to observe his match more then."
"Ah...Okay." Hearing this, Carrie couldn't help but feel a little melancholy. She had only taken care of her for more than a week, and she was going to send Lan Sai to someone else's house so soon.
"Okay Carrie, the matching day is next month. Instead of thinking about it now, let's think about how you can fully convey your meaning to Ransey in the limited translatable words and sentences."
Qin Shasha saw through Carrie's emotions at a glance. After all, she was worried and reluctant when she first entrusted the little mermaid she had taken care of for a long time to others. She would call the matchmaker's home almost every day to request a video.
However, as the number of mermaids he took care of gradually increased, he trusted the screening criteria set by Mr. Odos and the character of those matches, and this sentiment weakened a lot.
"I see." Carrie nodded, and took the initiative to change the subject, "Is it really okay for Carl and the others to play by themselves underwater? I mean no classes or something..." Why did her colleagues seem to be allA look of habit.
The remaining few breeders glanced at each other, then looked at Carrie, who knew nothing about the nature of most mermaids, and said sympathetically, "You'll know later, it's normal for them to behave like this."Behaved, not bad even among mermaids."
"?" Carrie, who had been misunderstood by Ji Mingjiang, looked puzzled.
