"Marshal Chen, what happened?"

After returning to the military headquarters, Chen Yuanchuan's adjutant asked curiously when he saw the rare thought and seriousness on his usual carefree chief's face.

This morning the marshal seemed to be looking for His Majesty to discuss the replacement of the garrison galaxy. Could it be that the order came down so quickly?

Chen Yuanchuan shook his head, remembering the picture he saw when he left the palace, he didn't know what expression to make for a moment.

After the inexplicable and comforting voice suddenly came out of His Majesty's optical brain, Chen Yuanchuan saw Cliles cut off the voice the next second, and got up to send him out.

Immediately afterwards, when the two of them walked through the courtyard corridor and were about to go to the main hall, he vaguely heard the sound of someone playing with water in the lake next to him. He just turned his head to see if it was the boy who made the voice just nowSuddenly, he met a pair of shiny black eyes.

Then saw the tail of the fish and the conspicuous silver hair before it fell to the surface of the water.

A little familiar.

He glanced at His Majesty at that time.

Isn't this the mermaid you asked me to try to match?

Is it okay to rush to complete the tasks of your subordinates?Fortunately, he has been worrying about this since he came out of the matching center yesterday.

Chen Yuanchuan suspected that his emotions might have been too revealing at the time, so that Cliles could sense it, and the next second he called an attendant to come over and take him out.

When he was about to turn the corner, Chen Yuanchuan saw Cliles walking towards the mermaid from the corner of his eye.

Ha, man.

"It's okay, the transfer order has not been issued yet, and it will take several more detailed discussions before it can be finalized."

After answering his question, Chen Yuanchuan collected his emotions and walked steadily towards the cafeteria with the adjutant.

He said that His Majesty is not the kind of unreasonable existence in the popular rumors, but he wondered if he could use this incident as an opportunity to change the image of His Majesty in the hearts of the people...

Hey, I'm so annoying.Their majesty is good everywhere, why is he too lazy to deal with these external image problems of himself, he is so worried.

After getting Chen Yuanchuan sent away, Layton turned around and strode towards the mermaid who had given him too many surprises these two days.

To be honest, he didn't expect that this mermaid could really speak human language in the past morning. After all, he suddenly remembered that he seemed to be aForgot to ask someone to teach Lan Sai how to use the optical brain.

Originally, I thought it would take a whole morning. If this mermaid was smarter, he might have successfully bound the optical brain. He would only start learning in the afternoon after he taught a few simple steps.

But didn't expect...

"What have you learned?" He squatted down with rare interest and asked with downcast eyes.

Ji Mingjiang patted the drowsy deer under his hands, and after slapping it away, he looked up at Cliles, and waved three fingers in front of him.

"I have already collected three sets of clothes. Some simple daily conversations should be fine. If it is more complicated, it may take two days to wait."

The lingua franca spoken from the mermaid's mouth has a unique sense of singing, coupled with the mermaid's own clear voice, it is clearly a language that has been spoken for more than 20 years, but at this moment Layton feels inexplicably strange.

Somewhat surprised by the amazing learning speed of the mermaid in front of him, Layton took a deep look at him before saying: "Then you go ahead, I'll ask you some more questions tonight."

After the conversation last night, his mental state was rare, and even the black dragon looked sluggish after waking up this morning.

Before dealing with government affairs, he went to the doctor who had been in charge of his spiritual world, and the test result he got from there was that there was no potential risk, and the manic atmosphere in his previous mental world was gently suppressed.

Leonard didn't know that he had brought a mermaid back to the palace, and he was a little surprised after seeing the result of the examination.

"Although I don't know what happened to you, Your Majesty, it seems that it is only good for you at present. If you can continue, maybe your spiritual sea will be completely healed."

"Because it's not easy to make a specific diagnosis and treatment judgment now, so I can only offer a suggestion. If you want to get a more specific data comparison, you may need to wait until your manic period has passed before coming back."

I thought of what Leonard said this morning, and all the normal news from the special agent sent to the federal investigation after learning about the suspiciousness of this mermaid.

After discussing with Rowlett, Layton decided to talk to the mermaid again. If he could understand the common language, today's conversation might be smoother.

Hearing this, Ji Mingjiang was a little hesitant, probably because of the influence of the Wangba system day after day and year after year, he had never liked being in the same room with people who were in a powerful position like him.

As the president of Ji's Group in his previous life, he was out of place at some business receptions.When he was at the bottom of the sea, the old Lan En had a gentle and generous personality, so he stayed with the humpback whale group for such a long time.

But now... Thinking of the outrageous situation that he suddenly became a minor, and the fact that the emperor Cliles didn't show any dictatorship in front of him, Ji Mingjiang finally nodded.

After seeing that he agreed, Layton planned to get up and leave, and he didn't forget to remind the mermaid before leaving.

"It's only half an hour before lunch, don't forget to go back to eat."

His meal!

Ji Mingjiang suddenly thought that he could speak, and that Cliles didn't like the existence of the Mermaid Handbook at first sight, so wouldn't he be able to...

"Wait! Cliles!" He slammed down the water and stopped Layton who was about to leave.

Seeing his pale golden eyes look over again, Ji Mingjiang didn't change his face, pretending that this was a very ordinary request and said: "My meal should not be ready yet, can you give me an extra portion of rice?"?”

"..."

Layton originally thought that the mermaid would ask something first after learning to speak the common language, and then heard this sentence.

A question mark slowly emerged in his eyes. Even if he didn't know much about mermaids, he still knew the common sense that mermaids have weak stomachs and cannot eat human food.

How could a mermaid make such an outrageous request?

"No." He immediately rejected this sentence like a conditioned reflex, but seeing the suddenly gloomy face in front of him, Layton twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling a little headache.

Is it finally here?

According to legend, every mermaid matchmaker will experience the daily plot points of mermaid throwing tantrums and making unreasonable demands. He thought he was lucky enough to meet a mermaid who did not set this plot point.

"Your intestines and stomach are too fragile. Eating human food will make you sick or even die. Didn't you get full marks in the course on mermaid habits when you were in the mermaid breeding center?"

Feeling that he can still make up for it, Layton, who doesn't want to coax and can't coax a mermaid who is in a bad mood, explained.

But it seems that he said something inadvertently that shouldn't be said.

Sure enough, the next second.

"How do you know I got a perfect score in that class?"

Ji Mingjiang narrowed his eyes and looked at Cliles against the sunlight.

Even if the report card is sent to the parents, it should be the report card of the courses he studied after he was "adopted", right?

"...I asked for it from Odos." It was indeed from him, but it was a little early.

Ji Mingjiang didn't know about this episode, he thought it was the report card that Cliles specially asked for after taking him away.

The first time this majesty saw him was full of repulsion and indifference, but he even made such a small move behind his back.

Ha man.

I didn't expect you to be such a majesty.

Ji Mingjiang thoughtfully skipped the topic, "It's okay, you should see that I'm much stronger than other mermaids, so my stomach won't be as fragile as theirs."

Seeing his insistence, Layton sighed, and compromised: "After I find a doctor to examine your body, he will give you food if you have no problem with your stomach, that's fine."

Guessing this was the biggest concession the other party could make, Ji Mingjiang had no choice but to nod his head, and took a step back himself.

"Then give me a few more small whitebait at noon today, I can't get enough of seven or eight."

This request is reasonable, although it seems that the appetite is a bit big.Layton nodded slightly, and quickly left this place of right and wrong.

Half an hour later, after Ji Mingjiang returned to the indoor pool along the pipeline again, he was satisfied to find 15 small fish neatly stacked on the large plate by the pool.

Not long after the meal, His Majesty the Emperor, who had promised to come over in the evening, walked in with windy feet.

Ji Mingjiang looked at him suspiciously. Just as he was about to ask something, he saw Cliles make a silent gesture at him, and after saying something to the optical brain, a familiar floating screen suddenly appeared on the screen.In front of Ji Mingjiang.

Looking at the screen that suddenly appeared, Ji Mingjiang was thoughtful.Then it should be the private mode that I didn't try just now, and it can make people unable to hear the conversation.

After figuring out what happened to the ear failure just now, Ji Mingjiang turned his attention to the screen in front of him.

Then saw Carrie's figure above.

No wonder Cliles didn't let him speak out just now. Even if he has a strong learning ability, it's a bit outrageous to learn to speak the common language in a day and a half after leaving the mermaid center. It's still necessary to hide it from Carrie.

So, what about the translator, where did he leave the translator?

The tail of the fish gently slapped the surface of the water, and just as Ji Mingjiang's eyes swept across the four sides of the table, a slender and warm hand stretched out from the side, and gently buckled the translator back to his ear fin.

After becoming a mermaid, don't know whether it's because of the mermaid blood or because he soaked in the water all day, but Ji Mingjiang's body temperature is much lower than that of ordinary humans.

And because Layton turned into a beast in the direction of the black dragon, the blood in his body was boiling hot all the year round, and his body temperature was several degrees higher than that of ordinary people.

When the two collided, both of them froze for a moment, and it was Carrie's voice on the other side of the screen that drew their attention back.

"Lan Sai? Xiao-Lan-Sai, are you listening?"

"Yes, yes." Seeing Carrie's worried expression, Ji Mingjiang quickly pressed the translator to answer.

"How have you been these two days? Are you still used to it? Your Majesty..." Carrie looked around before asking in a low voice, "Is Your Majesty treating you well?"

Ji Mingjiang said with some helplessness: "It's very good, His Majesty's temper is actually very gentle."

"..."

Carrie also knew whose optical brain her communication was hitting, and after confirming that the underage little mermaid that had been worrying her was all right, she didn't say anything more, told Ji Mingjiang to take good care of herself, and then hung up.The communication was cut off.

Ji Mingjiang just took off the translator and planned to return the optical brain to Cliles, but...

What about people?

Looking at the empty room, Ji Mingjiang once again realized how diligent his majesty is.

Can't even take care of the light brain?

I don't know what Cliles was doing during the time when he disappeared. When Ji Mingjiang finished his food and planned to continue his great business of changing clothes, this person reappeared from nowhere.

"Your optical brain." Because after hanging up the communication, Ji Mingjiang put the optical brain in front of him on the inconvenient aisle piled with toy shelves, saw Cliles standing at the door, and directlyThrow the light brain to him.

Seeing him reach out and grasp the optical brain firmly in the palm of his hand, Ji Mingjiang raised his eyebrows, and his interest in this majesty suddenly became stronger.But before he found a way to turn fish tails into human legs, he didn't need to think too much about it.

Seeing that Cliles had no intention of turning around and leaving immediately, Ji Mingjiang caught a glimpse of the row of toy shelves next to him from the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered his doubts from yesterday.

"By the way, do you know what's going on with this pile of toys?" Ji Mingjiang pointed to the boxes and shelves that were packed to the side.

So naive, even if he is not an adult, he is still 16 years old, and he is not 6 years old. How could he be given so many children's toys?

Last night he slapped those toy balls and ducks back into the box one by one after surfing them, and he liked the clean and refreshing water better.

Layton took a look at those cute or childish toys. These were bought by Rowlett in the short ten minutes after knowing that he had successfully matched the mermaid.

What does Rowlett do have anything to do with him.

Even if he was urged by Rowlett to throw these toys into the water with his own hands in the end, it has nothing to do with him.

Looking at the mermaid in front of me with a curious yet slightly disgusted expression, Layton explained without changing his expression: "Rowlett prepared it for you after knowing you were coming. Because the mermaids will bring their favorite merman with them when they leave the fostering center.but after asking Ordos and the breeders in your room that day they all said you didn't have a favorite and Rowlett has always liked pups so that's what you got."

After listening to it, Ji Mingjiang understood that Lolit seemed to be the old man with white hair and beard he saw that day, so it was much more reasonable.Although they didn't know each other before, even their races are not the same, but loving the younger generation seems to be something that some elderly people never get tired of.

but……

"I'm 16." Ji Mingjiang looked at Cliles with black lines, "I will be an adult in less than two years." Don't coax him like a child!What cubs are not cubs!

Layton understood what he meant, nodded slightly, and said, "It's useless for you to tell me these things, Rowlett won't listen."

"If you have nothing to do, you can continue to study. If you need anything, you can send me a message on the optical brain." As he spoke, Layton suddenly froze for a moment, and added, "Don't send voice, typing or voice-to-text are allCan."

He is going to the military headquarters for a meeting in the afternoon to arrange for the cadet competition and recruit training in the near future. At that time, other than the marshal, the general will participate in the meeting. If he slides his hands and clicks on the voice at that time...

Chen Yuanchuan and the other two generals are about the same age as him among the top military officials, and the others are from his father's generation.

This morning, Chen Yuanchuan was thinking about something messy at that moment. He already guessed it.What does it look like?

Thinking of this, Layton instantly felt that his request was extremely reasonable and important.

After seeing the mermaid in front of him nodding, he left the room with a sigh of relief.

After watching Cliles leave, Ji Mingjiang didn't care about what he just said inexplicably, and clicked on the learning section of his optical brain again.

He should climb the ladder four or five times before he can finish this language study.

After all, although he has realized how free and unreliable the translator's translation is after serious study, it has given him a certain language foundation.

As for Interstellar Common Language, the pronunciation is different from Chinese, and the grammar is a bit like a product of Chinese and other languages. Although it is a bit strange, he has mastered a lot of languages ​​in his previous life, so it is not difficult.

He was going to ask Cliles for a normal version of the optical brain after he finished his studies, and there should be some software on it to help him understand the current fashionable industry.At that time, he can choose to develop a side job by himself. If he can successfully use the knowledge he has acquired in his previous life, he may soon be able to pay off the price of two optical brains.

After all, the spiritual counseling he provided to Cliles should correspond to the daily conveniences that the other party provided him. How could he make the other party pay for his life's expenses by doing spiritual counseling from time to time.

And, more importantly, with his own money, he can also change his costume, and then he can go to the holographic game field to experience the battle scene of the mecha starship!

Thinking of this, Ji Mingjiang's eyes brightened a lot.

The afternoon was slowly spent studying. In the room that seemed a little empty because of an oversized pool, there was only the sound of tails hitting the water from time to time.

When the sunlight changes from bright golden to warm red, passing over the pleasing plants and rippling water outside the transparent and bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and slowly pouring into the indoor pool, the silver-white hair of the mermaid is dyed with a layer of red lightOnly then did Ji Mingjiang change into the star thief costume for the villain who had climbed another ladder.

Gently tap the star pirate Ji Mingjiang standing on the cloud with his finger, and see the villain jump up angrily, and hit the place where Ji Mingjiang just touched with his raised hands as if he was about to shoot something.place.

After finding that there was nothing there, a trace of dissatisfaction appeared on the white and tender face with half an eyepatch. Immediately afterwards, Ji Mingjiang saw his Q-version villain shrunk his mouth, and directly pulled out a body bigger than him from behind.And a laser cannon twice as big.

Then a dazzling laser shot out, directly turning the section of the Sky-reaching Ladder in front into a stream of white smoke.

Ji Mingjiang silently withdrew his fingers, but his eyes were faintly agitated.

So violent, love it!

This link is a little Easter egg that Ji Mingjiang just discovered this afternoon, probably inspired by the saying that learning is like sailing against the current, if you don’t advance, you will retreat?It's just that the developer of this model may have added a sentence later that there is no way out but a dead end.

Because after climbing to the top, just click on the villain after changing clothes, and he will make a series of actions to completely destroy the ladder behind him.

For example, in the first level, the costume that Ji Mingjiang saw as a bit mixed, the system should be the priest's costume set. After clicking on the golden little Jimingjiang who is radiating the holy light behind his back, the scepter in his hand will be removed.Pestle to the ground.

Then a series of halos spread out around the bottom of the scepter, and the ladders that touched the halos would turn into flickering white lights and dissipate in the air.

The costume for the second level is a brown bear jumpsuit, which is very one-piece. The face of the character is directly wrapped by the complete face of the brown bear.After putting it on, click on the little bear version of Ji Mingjiang, the overly detailed brown bear head will open its mouth and roar, and the sound waves will spread out in a circular arc, shaking the ladder into pieces.

Later, there will be an elf version of Ji Mingjiang who will wrap the entire ladder with plants and then sink out of the screen interface;

And behind Ji Mingjiang, the little monk version sitting cross-legged in cassock, a phantom of a Bodhisattva appeared behind him, and a man holding a vajra appeared beside him, staring at him, and the ladder shattered.

...

But after looking at these sets, Ji Mingjiang's favorite is the pirated star Ji Mingjiang. After all, the laser cannon looks really eye-catching!

After quitting the study area, Ji Mingjiang was rarely reluctant to part with him. If the study bag that the system gave him at that time had such easter eggs, he felt that he might be able to eat those things five years earlier.

But no matter how reluctant it is, it's time to eat.

Ji Mingjiang looked at the time, there was still half an hour until dinner time, he could now move around in the pool for a while, after all, his tail was still a little stiff after not moving all afternoon.

I don't know what Cliles will talk to him tonight.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingjiang decided to take back what he said on the first day, and the emperor seemed to be a little idle.Why did you catch him when you saw that he could talk? There was no one else in the palace who could chat with him?

...

Dinner was another 15 small whitebait.

After mentioning that he wanted to eat rice with Cliles today, Ji Mingjiang looked at the fish in front of him, and the name of the dish jumped out of his mind one after another.

Boiled fish, sauerkraut fish, sweet and sour fish, squirrel, mandarin fish, fish-flavored shredded pork...ah no, there is no fish in the fish-flavored shredded pork.

The sudden brake brought by a fish-flavored shredded pork pulled Ji Mingjiang back to reality from the steaming fish soup, and there was only a plate of pure natural and original fish in front of him.

"Help, I really want to eat rice with fish soup..."

Resignedly cutting open the belly of the little whitebait in front of him to remove the bone, Ji Mingjiang wailed softly.

Even during the last period of his life spent in the ward, his mouth was never so dull.

"... What kind of fish soup with rice, how did you know so many human meals?"

Cliles didn't know when he opened the door and came in. The quality of this door is too top-notch, and there will be no noise when it is opened.

And Ji Mingjiang's mutter voice covered the sound of human breathing, so he didn't realize the existence of Cliles until the sound of footsteps.

Looking up, Ji Mingjiang bumped into the helpless eyes of Cliles.

"The doctor has already made an appointment for tomorrow. Didn't he say that he will give you food after the examination? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Ji Mingjiang glanced at him, and didn't speak in a hurry, but handed over the little whitebait that had already been boned.

"Try, you should be able to eat what I can eat."

"How?" Ji Mingjiang asked after seeing that Cliles swallowed the fish that was too small for him despite hesitation.

"It's not bad, the taste is fresh and sweet, and the meat is firm and tender. The fish recommended by Mermaid Center generally tastes good."

"Ah, that's true, but it doesn't have any flavor other than the faint aftertaste after swallowing it?"

After seeing Cliles nodding his head, Ji Mingjiang looked at him and said quietly, "I've been eating this taste for a month."

"Why don't you change your food for the next month to this flavor?"
