"……How are you?"

Looking at Cliles who was silent, Ji Mingjiang asked cautiously.

Layton maintained the posture of looking at him, and felt that in addition to the fine rain, there was a breeze with the fragrance of soil in his spiritual sea. The black dragon was really calmed down successfully, and he found a rareShantou folded his wings and fell into a brief sleep.

How strong is this mermaid's channeling ability?And it didn't even hide it at all.

Layton was a little surprised.

Does it really have nothing to do with the federation, or is it also taught to him by the group of federation people who are full of holes?

Rowlett walked out at some point, and it was just the two of them in the room now.

Layton looked down at the somewhat wet floor, but he didn't pay attention to it, and sat down cross-legged as he lifted the back of his jacket.

The tailored military trousers tightened slightly with his movements, outlining the tight and powerful muscle lines of his thighs.

Ji Mingjiang's gaze stayed for a moment, then he quickly moved away, looking at Cliles who was about to have a long talk with him all night.

"Your name is Ransay?"

The translation of this sentence is okay, Ji Mingjiang nodded after hesitating, then shook his head again.

"It was suggested by my foster staff. You can call me by my original name. My name is Ji Mingjiang."

Unlike today's daytime, he doesn't feel any repulsion from His Majesty now.On the contrary, his intuition told him that the person in front of him was in a relaxed state, and he still had some thoughts about him.

It's a good time to make a preliminary trial. After all, if he doesn't want to maintain this state of relying on external objects all the time, and wants to get some learning tools through his current matchmaker, that part of the openness is still necessary.

Unexpectedly, the biggest problem lies in the translator again.

Ji Mingjiang's eyes widened when he saw Cliles nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Is there a last name? Ji Lansai, I remember it."

Do not!!!What do you remember!!!Where does this last name and this first name seem to go together?!!

He suddenly reached out and pressed on Cliles' knee, leaving a wet handprint, and shook his head seriously.

"Ransay, just call me Ransay."

"Okay." Cliles glanced at him, forgiving the fickle mermaid.

Ji Mingjiang's forehead twitched.

He withdrew his hand and made a gesture of listening, intending to see what this majesty who was completely different from what he imagined was going to say.

Then he realized that this His Majesty, who didn't seem to like mermaids very much before, probably didn't realize that the translator was actually a defective product because he didn't know much about mermaids.

Ji Mingjiang just watched Cliles sit firmly in front of him, looked at him seriously, and opened his mouth to say a lot of words.

But after being processed and filtered by the translator, only a few words were finally passed to his ears.

"You...spiritual counseling...teach, very strong..., help...what do you want..."

Thankfully, he was able to piece together the meaning of these bits and pieces, and the most important words were translated.

Probably because he helped Cliles to do spiritual counseling, and then he could let Cliles fulfill some of his wishes?

Ji Mingjiang's eyes lit up, is his great cause of language learning finally on the right track?I don't know if Cliles supports salary advances.

Thinking of this, he put his hand on Cliles' wrist wearing an optical brain, feeling the momentary tense muscles under his hand, and Ji Mingjiang glanced at him inexplicably.

Will the emperor be assassinated often now? How did Cliles get on guard so easily?

But the wrist that was held by him quickly relaxed again, and Ji Mingjiang took this as Cliles' habit of not wanting to be touched by outsiders. He touched the light brain shell with his fingers and said, "I want this."

After deciding to have a talk with this unusual-looking mermaid, Layton planned to follow the method written in the precautions to draw in the relationship with the mermaid.

The first step is to call the mermaid's name to remind him of the state when the breeder was around, so as to increase the favorability and intimacy with the strange match.

Although the manual feels a little strange, as a layman who doesn't know this kind of creature, Layton still endures the feeling of scalp numbness and prepares to follow it.

...Wait, what's the name of this mermaid?

After glancing at the file on the optical brain, he cleared his throat and called out the name of the mermaid in the softest tone he ever had.

To his surprise, after being called by his name, the mermaid hesitated and said a word.

season?

The file Ordos gave him didn't say that this mermaid had a last name, and the last name didn't quite match the first name either.

Could it be the previous name?

Thinking of this, Layton sent a message to the minister in charge of household registration after thinking for a moment.

"Cliles: Go and find out if there is a family named Ji in the empire that has contact with the mermaid, and hand it over to me after the morning meeting next week."

Then they contacted the people in the federal office and asked them to investigate the family surnamed Ji in the federation without arousing vigilance.

After giving out two instructions, Layton looked at the guy who imprinted a wet handprint on his thigh with dissatisfaction after he pronounced the name Ji Lansai, feeling helpless in his heart.

That's why he hates dealing with creatures with such a delicate personality and appearance the most.

But this one named Lan Sai is different, at least his mental strength is several times stronger than other mermaids.

After realizing that he couldn't understand the mermaid's delicate emotions, Layton simply threw everything written in the precautions behind his head and planned to ask directly.

"Your spiritual counseling ability is very strong. I don't know who taught you, but thank you very much for your help just now. You can ask for anything."

In the case of a translator, if this mermaid is sent by the Federation, then he should make some very purposeful requests, such as working with him by his side or giving him a communicator.Category.

And if this mermaid is purely mentally strong, it should make some requests for food or activity space.

Just as he was guessing the answer the mermaid might have, Layton suddenly felt a few cool fingers with moist moisture on his wrist.

The delicate and soft touch came from the wrist, and the muscles in his hand tensed and relaxed.

Then I saw a slender and strong finger tapping his light brain, and Lan Sai, who was lying in the pool in front of him, looked up at him and said obediently: "I want this."

The corner of Layton's mouth twitched, feeling a little headache.

Want his optical brain?

What is this, none of the people in the Federation have given this mermaid?If you want to steal secrets, you can tell him, the emperor of the enemy country, so directly?

For the first time, he took a serious look at the mermaid looking up at him.

It is different from other mermaids from beginning to end.

He has a slender body, at least 1.8 meters by visual inspection.Whether it is a tail that is much wider than other mermaids or the tight lines hidden under the water surface, it shows that his body is healthy and strong.

As for the face that is easier to be noticed immediately, even if it is not completely stretched because of the minor, it can be seen that his facial contour is not as soft as that of ordinary mermaids, but it is more clear and distinct.

As for the most important eyes on the face, compared to the round eyes and sensitive and dodging eyes of most mermaids, the corners of the eyes of this mermaid are slightly raised. Coupled with the clear and firm eyes, there is a rare sharp feeling.

...It really is different everywhere.

Looking away, Layton reached out and grabbed the fingers that were still tapping on his optical brain.

"What do you want this for?" he asked casually.

If this mermaid is really smart but careless, then there should be many loopholes in his answer for him to find.

"Learn to speak, I want to learn your language."

Unexpectedly, Cliles would ask this question, Ji Mingjiang thought about it, and answered truthfully.

After all, this translator is too unreliable, and he might swallow or mistransmit an important sentence at any time.

And why does Cliles's mood suddenly seem so much worse, is the optical brain very expensive?It shouldn't be, he only mentioned it because Carrie, a college student who just graduated, can afford it.

"Learn Interstellar Common Language?"

Seeing Cliles repeating what he said just now with some surprise, Ji Mingjiang nodded.

He wanted to learn Interstellar Common Language, and it was impossible to hide the fact that he could also learn this language.That being the case, anyway, the system has guaranteed that his combat power is the top existence in this world, so it is not impossible for His Majesty, who seems to be of good character, to know.

If something goes wrong, he can run out in time to stop the loss.

Thinking of this, worried that Cliles would not believe his words, Ji Mingjiang took off the translator from his ear.

Recalling the names of the people he met today when they met Cliles, and after summarizing the word that appeared most frequently, he tentatively asked, "Your Majesty Cliles?"

The ups and downs of the tone are a bit unnatural, and the pauses between words are also a bit stiff, but the advantage of the mermaid's own voice makes up for this shortcoming very well, and on the contrary, this sentence has a unique rhythm.

It cannot be denied that this is indeed a standard pronunciation of Interstellar Common Language.

Layton froze in place after he finished speaking.

Could it be that he doesn't care about mermaids so much that he doesn't even know that the mermaids have evolved to speak human language?

Wait, if this mermaid wants an optical brain to learn Interstellar Common Language, then I must have misunderstood him just now, so does this mermaid have anything to do with the Federation...

For a moment, many complicated thoughts flashed through his mind, and the sleeping black dragon flapped its wings, as if it was about to wake up.

But fortunately, Ji Mingjiang quickly buckled up the translator again, looked at the strange-looking Cliles, and was concerned: "Are you okay? I can only speak your name now, but I will learn it quicklyof."

A breeze with the fragrance of flowers brushed the black dragon's wet nose. After exhaling a burst of hot air, it turned over and buried itself under its wings and fell asleep again.

Layton rubbed his swollen forehead after receiving too much information, looked at the expectant mermaid and nodded, agreeing to his request.

"Tomorrow, I will give you a customized learning optical computer. My contact information will be stored on it. If you have any requirements, you can put forward on the optical computer."

After saying this, he opened the door and left the villa.As soon as he turned around the courtyard, he saw Rowlett sitting in the gazebo waiting for him.

"What's the matter?" A few steps away, Layton had calmed down his emotions and asked with a normal expression.

Afterwards, the manager looked puzzled, "Your Majesty, it was Marshal Chen who sent me a message. He asked me what punishment would be imposed if I messed up the private mission His Majesty gave him."

The galaxy that Chen Yuanchuan is in charge of is currently in a period of peace. Rowlett doesn't know what tasks Layton will give him now, and taking a step back, this shouldn't be asked of him.

Whether it's out of consideration of specialization in the arts or avoidance of suspicion, he has never interfered with His Majesty's handling of military affairs.

"What mission..." Just as he said the puzzled words, Layton suddenly remembered that he had indeed met Chen Yuanchuan alone before.

What task did he entrust to the young marshal at that time?

"You go to the matching day next month. There is a mermaid named Lan Sai. Try to match him successfully, and then take care of him normally and observe whether he has any unusual movements."

Layton glanced back at the small villa where the mermaid lived, from where he had just come out.

"..."

Early the next morning, Ji Mingjiang received the optical brain sent by Cliles and a breakfast of seven small whitebait.

I don't know if it's because he doesn't like to talk or he received instructions from Cliles. After putting down the optical computer and the dinner plate in the box, the man walked out without even leaving him an instruction manual.

Ji Mingjiang reluctantly took the box. There was only a pattern and name of the optical brain on the outer skin, and there was no other information.

But just looking at the name...

Enlightenment dedicated learning optical brain.

Ji Mingjiang twitched the corners of his mouth, although this really fits his current situation.

fine.After opening the box, Ji Mingjiang heaved a sigh of relief, and there was an instruction manual inside.

The kind with pictures and texts, he doesn't have to worry about how to explain the fact that he can't understand human words but can understand herringbone if he is seen under surveillance.

Putting the box aside, he pulled over the plate with the whitebait and ate his breakfast.

"I don't know when I will be able to eat hot dishes made by stir-frying in a big pot with thick oil and red sauce. If it's really not possible, I can just order some rice..."

Looking at the fresh and tender whitebait in front of him, Ji Mingjiang sighed, talking to himself, feeling worried.

No matter how fresh and sweet this fish was, he couldn't bear it even after eating it for almost a month. He still ate the same fish every day for half a month at the bottom of the sea.

As far as the present is concerned, it doesn't look like he is here to enjoy a new life. This is obviously from the past.

After perfunctorily eating the few small whitebait in front of him, Ji Mingjiang went to wash his hands near the floor-to-ceiling windows.

He discovered last night that this pool is connected to the lake in the outer courtyard, and the passage is on the wall of the pool here, a hole just big enough for mermaids to swim in and out freely.

It was closed last night, and the entrance of the cave was blocked by a gauze net. don't know when it was opened this morning.

In other words, the water in this pool is still running water, and Ji Mingjiang has no burden to wash his hands.

After tidying himself up, he picked up the optical brain that Cliles had prepared for him again.

I have to say that Cliles may be really a good person, and he chooses an optical brain carefully.

Looking at the light brain whose main color scheme is the gradient color intertwined with silver white and light blue, Ji Mingjiang sighed a little.

Immediately afterwards, he followed the steps in the manual, first entered his fingerprint information, and then tentatively released a bit of mental power to bind himself with the optical brain.

A white light flashed on the screen in the center, and then Ji Mingjiang found that his body suddenly became light, and there was a bustling street around him.

There were people coming and going, some wearing strangely shaped masks, some wearing black robes that covered their whole bodies, and some with animal heads on their heads, followed by the few normal people who did not hide their faces and figures.

And the direction of the flow of people is not the same, some sat at the door of the steaming and fragrant shop, some children walked into the distant school gate with a swaying figure, and some rushed toThere are all kinds of game halls?

Ji Mingjiang took two steps forward in doubt...then staggered.

and many more!

He looked down in astonishment, the dark blue fish tail he had been used to for a long time changed back to two slender and straight legs at some point.

The clothes on his body were still the suit he wore before his death in his previous life.

Then another white light flashed in front of his eyes, and when Ji Mingjiang opened his eyes again, he found that he was still a mermaid splashing the water in the pool.

Just when he was about to ask Cliles what happened, a mechanical sound that was somewhat similar to the system sound, but softer came from his wrist.

As if worried that he would not understand, there was a line of words that appeared at the same time as the voice.

[The holographic mode has been experienced, and the normal mode is now displayed.]

Was it the effect of the light brain?Ji Mingjiang looked at the high-tech thing in his hands. In the courses he had learned, the recorder probably didn't expect that someone would use optical brains for mermaids, so he didn't introduce the function of this thing in detail.

The holographic mode seems to be similar to those holographic games he played in his previous life, but it is more convenient now.What is normal mode?

Just as he was thinking, the screen on his wrist suddenly lit up, and a light screen was suddenly projected in front of him.

The content on this is almost the same as the mobile phone he used before, but much simpler.

It is divided into four sections with different styles from top to bottom.

Half of it is the dark starry sky and the other is the Q version of the game section of pink and tender animals.

On the left is the school gate and on the right is the study section of a large stack of exercise books.

Clothing, food, travel tools, and various accessories are mixed together in the shopping section.

At the bottom is an unpretentious Contacts section surrounded by a striking white light.

its not right……

Ji Mingjiang picked up the packing box that he threw aside.

The above is indeed a special learning optical computer for enlightenment.

Why is there a game section?

Is this how you interstellar people enlighten your children???

Ji Mingjiang was shocked.

Just when he was still shocked by this extraordinarily big game area, Guangnao's novice guidance voice and the built-in subtitles appeared again.

[The normal mode has been experienced, warm reminder: the normal mode is divided into public and private modes.Please refer to the main screen for specific operation and subsequent mode selection.]

After saying this, Ji Mingjiang waited quietly for a moment, and found that there was no other guidance voice, and then looked down at the main screen on his wrist.

After entering the fingerprint recognition, the first thing you see is the mode selection. The two boxes of holographic mode and normal mode occupy the entire screen.

Ji Mingjiang first clicked on the holographic mode, and then a question box popped up asking whether to change the appearance. After clicking No, he could choose to enter the location.

Ji Mingjiang, who just wanted to try the function now, clicked the back button, and the inquiry box popped up again, this time he chose yes.

In a blink of an eye, he appeared in a cloakroom. In front of him were the hair color adjustment boards, masks, tops and bottoms, and robes that were sorted by category. Behind him was a debugging table for pinching his face.

He tentatively reached out to take off a mask and put it on his face. After taking it off again, a purchase box appeared in front of him. Click to confirm the purchase...

[Drip, warning!For minors, please bind the star card of the guardian for consumption, and the maximum amount of single payment shall not exceed 100 star coins.]

[Currently it is detected that you have not bound any star card, do you want to bind it?If you need to bind, please bring a guardian to perform face verification and enable permissions.]

Two black and red floating frames appeared in front of Ji Mingjiang's eyes, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter how he turned his head.

Ji · 28-year-old minor Ming Jiang, who was shocked by the word "guardian": ...

The fist hardened.

After exiting the holographic mode, Ji Mingjiang sighed and clicked on the normal mode.

The transparent floating screen did not pop up immediately. After this option is selected, there is another option. You need to choose whether the floating screen will be presented in private mode or public mode.

He couldn't try anything when he was alone, so Ji Mingjiang directly clicked on the public mode.

If private mode means that no one else can see his screen...

Glancing at the careless monitoring on the roof behind him, Ji Mingjiang felt that he had better show consideration for His Majesty Cliles.

After turning on the normal mode, Ji Mingjiang opened the game area out of curiosity, and found that the content here was as fragmented and gaudy as its sections.

Half of them are various combat strategy games. Ji Mingjiang took a look and found that most of them were titles like "Star Wars", "Mech Wars", "Life and Death Lost", but a large area was grayed out, only a fewSeveral are lit.

The other half is about "The Adventures of Baby Panda", "Catch the Doll", "Little Tadpole Looking for Mom", which made the corners of Ji Mingjiang's mouth twitch.

After leaving the game area, he was still a little upset.

If there are those fighting items in the game area in the normal mode, can those game halls in the holographic mode be able to play real people?

Thinking of this, Ji Mingjiang instantly became interested. In his previous life, he had cultivated himself for nearly thirty years, but due to the half-month of blissful play in the transitional world and the exhausting one-month period before coming here, heNow I just feel that my heart and tail are about to move to find someone to practice.

It's just that he still has to think about whether to ask Cliles to deposit some medical expenses into the card under his "guardian" name, or to apply for a card by himself when he becomes an adult.Face……

Thinking of what the minor and the guardian said, Ji Mingjiang felt his forehead twitching non-stop.

But the most important thing at the moment is to get the interstellar common language, otherwise everything is useless.

After testing other functions, Ji Mingjiang finally clicked on the study area.

Probably in order to encourage the "children" who use this section, the interface of the learning area is set up as a continuous winding road to the sky, and the user's own image becomes a Q-version villain, and each step is aAfter completing this stage and reaching the peak, you can get a set of clothing.

At this stage that Ji Mingjiang is in now, the costumes he gave in the end can be seen as a fusion of the characteristics of the costumes of priests and kings.

There is a crown inlaid with precious stones, a cloak with soft white fur sewn around it, and a golden scepter.

It's a bit odd to put together, but it's really nice.

...

Ji Mingjiang's original language talent was very good. In his first life as the president of a multinational group, he learned the languages of many countries, among which there were many with high difficulty and complex grammar.In addition, the interstellar common language used by the people around him gave him a good language environment, not to mention the special situation he is in now that he can't pronounce but knows words.

Several layers of advantages were superimposed, and when the morning time was about to pass, Ji Mingjiang had already obtained three sets of clothes for his Q-version villain, and he had almost mastered the pronunciation and grammar of some simple words.

After closing the study area, he stretched his stiff body and glanced at the time.

eleven o'clock.

There is still an hour until dinner.

His eyes couldn't help moving to the windy and sunny courtyard with some flowers, plants and small animals outside, as well as the large lake.

five minutes later.

Ji Mingjiang leaned comfortably against a huge aquatic plant on the edge of the lake, and reached out to touch the little sika deer that came over curiously to sniff him.

With one hand, he touched the deer's back covered with a layer of warm short fleece, and with the other, he clicked on the dialog box of the lonely Cliles in the correspondent column.

Ji Mingjiang decided to inform His Majesty about his own study progress, and by the way thank him for the optical brain he sent.

In the study room, Chen Yuanchuan had just finished reporting on the recent situation of the galaxy he was in charge of, when he heard the news notification sound from the optical brain in the room.

Both his communicator and optical brain were turned off after entering the room, so... who will send a message to the communication number on His Majesty's optical brain?

He looked at His Majesty behind the desk in surprise, and saw that the man who was serious and prepared to discuss the transfer order with him just now was obviously stunned when he saw the news, and then he didn't know whether it was a slip of the hand or what happened, a relaxed and cheerful young voicePassed out from inside.

"Cliles! Thank you for your optical brain, today I..."

Before the voice finished speaking, Chen Yuanchuan, who looked surprised, saw His Majesty, who also looked a little restless, turn off the voice note.

ah?

Chen Yuanchuan looked suspiciously at Cliles, the workaholic His Majesty who has always been known for his bravery and combativeness.

Didn't it mean to let him know and spread the news that His Majesty is in love so as to break the rumors and slap him like dog food?
