Chapter 153 Back to the World 1: Ji Yi CP
There are 26 zones in the LETTER interstellar system. The Interstellar Alliance Command Center is in Zone A, which is the area with the highest level of technology in the entire interstellar system. The second largest zone is Zone C, where Xiao Minji and Chao Zhuyi are located.
She was reborn three years ago, when Xiao Minji was still the First Commander of Area C. He would be promoted to one of the commanders of the Interstellar Alliance three years later. Because of his outstanding achievements, he was honored as the First Commander.
At present, people in the interstellar space do not have supernatural abilities such as mental power and special powers, but with powerful science and technology, going to the sky and into the earth is not a problem.
According to legend, there are ancient bloodlines in the interstellar space, and they have extraordinary powers, so many people have been searching for these ancient bloodlines.
There are three kings in the ancient bloodline: Yinglong in the sky, mermaid in the water, and divine deer on the earth.
The existence of the ancient bloodline has been confirmed, and the remains of these bloodlines are still displayed in the biological museums of various regions.
Chao Zhuyi is a descendant of ancient mermaids. Mermaid blood can grant immortality and cure all diseases, and countless researchers have been searching frantically for it.
But the mermaids all hid themselves. They knew very well the bad nature of humans. Once they were caught, they would only face endless hell.
Chao Zhuyi originally lived in a small, isolated village in District Z. Her adoptive grandparents were kind-hearted and repeatedly warned her to hide her fish tail.
She had a happy childhood until she was fifteen, when more and more outsiders came to the village, mostly to marry into the family.
The same thing happened to her neighbor. After her grandparents passed away, the neighbor lady took good care of her, but her husband was a violent alcoholic who always beat and scolded her. She also had a cowardly son and a mean daughter-in-law.
Once, the old lady was beaten to death, and her son and daughter-in-law left her alone. Chao Zhuyi couldn't bear it, so he bled her to save her while her family was away.
But he was seen by his daughter-in-law who came home halfway.
She asked him to keep it a secret, and he agreed.
But later when the space pirates invaded Area Z, they betrayed her in order to survive and gain wealth and glory.
The old lady knelt on the ground and pulled those people, telling her to escape quickly.
Chao Zhuyi dived into the deep sea, found a shell and slept there for three years.
Later, Xiao Minji came to the deep sea of Zone Z to complete a mission. He accidentally ran into her sleeping and took her home.
When the two met for the first time, Chao Zhuyi let out his tail.
Xiao Minji knew her identity and said that the deep sea was about to be controlled by someone and it was unsafe. He asked her if she was willing to go with him and he would protect her.
She didn't know if it was because she had slept for too long and her consciousness was not clear, or if Xiao Minji made her feel too safe, but she agreed without thinking.
Then the two lived together for two years and gradually fell in love. Although they tacitly agreed to live together for the rest of their lives, Chao Zhuyi later mistakenly trusted others and tortured the two for two years. Later, he killed himself and Xiao Minji.
Chao Zhuyi opened the window and looked at the banana trees outside. The sun was shining brightly, and she took a deep breath.
She has come back!
Originally, there were no banana trees in the Xiao residence, and in Area C, there weren't many natural plants either; most were man-made. The wild ones were protected and not used for greening.
Natural plants are only used for greening in special periods. The plants that can be used for greening on a daily basis have extremely strong vitality, but they are also strongly protected. If someone even picks a leaf, the fine will be astronomical.
In the LETTER interstellar system, only the Z, I, R, and N zones retain the purest and most pristine natural environment. Zone Z retains water environments such as rivers and oceans. The other three zones also have water, but not much.
The four natural areas above are the wealth of the entire interstellar space, and are specially maintained by the entire Interstellar Alliance Command Center. The four areas are limited to selling natural plants, and the prices are extremely high.
There are also natural plants in other areas, and the Academy of Sciences will also study and promote their planting, but the environmental pollution is too serious, plants are difficult to grow, and the cultivation costs are too expensive, so most people still choose artificial plants.
The entire Xiao residence is surrounded by natural plants. The banana tree in the yard was bought by Chao Zhuyi one day when she suddenly wanted to listen to the sound of rain hitting the banana leaves. Xiao Minji spent a huge amount of money to buy it to please the beauty and even invited a professional agronomist to maintain it.
Chao Zhuyi looked at the courtyard in front of her and couldn't help but burst into tears. She once again hated herself for not knowing how to cherish in her previous life.
After letting his tears flow for a while, Chao Zhuyi's emotions gradually stabilized.
She gently turned the button on the bracelet on her hand, and a light screen was projected from inside, with various push messages popping up on it.
Commander Xiao's search rankings consistently topped the trending topics, unrivaled by anyone and everything. Beyond his achievements, he possessed a peerless beauty that captivated countless people.
Chao Zhuyi read through them carefully one by one. After she finished reading the hot searches about Xiao Minji, she casually swiped down, and her fingertips slowly stopped on the latest hot search.
Yichuan Biological Research Institute discovered traces of mermaids
Surprise! The mermaid was finally found
Mermaids appear, and humans are about to enter the era of superpowers
The existence of mermaids has been confirmed. There is a complete set of mermaid remains in the Yichuan Museum in the main city of Area C.
Researchers also discovered that the remains contained traces of spiritual fluctuations, suggesting that the ancient bloodline not only existed but also possessed supernatural abilities. If humans could master this power...
Comment area:
[6. It's all nonsense from beginning to end. You keep saying "discovery, discovery", but why don't you tell us when and where you discovered something? You're just repeating the word "discovery" throughout the whole article.]
[I'm really impressed. Do these researchers have nothing better to do than to eat their fill? Instead of spending all this time on sensationalism, they should be thinking about how to purify the ocean. They shouldn't have to divert water from District 4 every time. It's far, troublesome, and so expensive that ordinary people can't afford it.]
[Mermaid, merman, you're always looking for fish, but you don't even notice the ocean right now. It's dark and stinky, and if there were any fish, they'd all be dead long ago.]
[The above commenter can't say the same thing. What if they mutated? I went fishing at the beach a few days ago, and wow, a crab had eight eyes and two legs.]
[The guy above is really brave! How dare you touch the sea water? Aren’t you afraid of getting mutated yourself?]
"What's there to be afraid of? The air is so polluted these days. You'd die anywhere. I'm poor anyway. I'd either die from breathing the air or from thirst. Why should I be afraid of a little radiation? Besides, what if I mutate and gain superpowers?"
[Applause, applause, applause! Our researchers in Area C are truly amazing. I've barely entered the technological age, and they've already reached the supernatural age. They're just naturally talented, right? We useless people can only work hard for 30,000 star coins per liter of purified water. How can we have such lofty ideals?]
[Isn’t it 2 per liter? Has it increased again?]
[No problem, no difference.]
[Region 4 has seen less rainfall this year, resulting in less water and higher prices.]
"That's why I'm saying, can these researchers please do something practical? Stop looking for fish and start purifying the water. Area A has already purified the river water, and everyone else can drink their own clean water, while we're still drinking disgusting filtered water. Don't ask why we don't drink purified water; we can't afford it!"
[Area A is the earliest and most powerful technological zone, and while its pollution is even worse than ours, their researchers are now paying special attention to people's livelihoods and are truly down-to-earth.]
"I'm a biology student. Mermen do exist, but they're an ancient race, the overlords of the ocean. What's become of the oceans these days? If they were to appear, they'd either seek revenge or destroy the world."
[That’s right, you messed up my house, and now you want my super powers.]
[...]
People in Area C have long been dissatisfied with those researchers. They talk all day long but do nothing. Every time they put forward various expert suggestions, they specifically take advantage of the middle and lower class people.
He also spends all day searching for ancient bloodlines, determined to rush towards the era of superpowers.
Technology is developing rapidly and many people cannot keep up. Now with the advent of the era of superpowers, the gap will only get bigger and bigger. If this continues, Area C will collapse sooner or later.
Maybe it’s not just Area C…
Chao Zhuyi seemed to understand why Yue Youyou wanted her to maintain the balance of the world. If this abnormal development continued, the LETTER galaxy would be destroyed.
The mermaid does have special abilities. She can feel a mysterious power hidden within her, just waiting for the opportunity to awaken.
Chao Zhu recalled the sorrow. In her previous life, she had not awakened this power until her death three years later. Otherwise, she could have used this power to do many things.
Now she doesn’t know what to do next. The power of a fish like her is really insignificant.
There was a sound coming from the yard, and the starship was jumping. Chao Zhuyi ran out of the room as soon as he heard the sound.
She took the elevator downstairs, ran out of the door, and bumped into the man who was returning from a trip.
Xiao Minji supported her shoulders, and after she stood firmly, he couldn't help but scold her: "Why are you in such a hurry? Aren't your legs uncomfortable?"
By the way, during the recent special period, she just changed back to human form from a mermaid. Although her legs have recovered, she couldn’t adapt to walking for a while, but she ignored it after she was reborn.
Chao Zhuyi ignored the man's distressed and serious expression, jumped directly onto the man, and hugged his neck tightly.
Hot, alive.
She really is back.
Chao Zhuyi buried her face in his neck, saying nothing. Xiao Minji felt her emotional fluctuations, and his serious expression dropped instantly. He raised his hand and gently patted her back.
"I'm sorry I neglected you."
Mermaids need company the most during their special period, but he is away from home due to an urgent mission. I guess the little fish is unhappy staying at home alone.
"I miss you so much." Chao Zhuyi said sullenly.
"Yeah." Xiao Minji carried her in and sat at the dining table. "Have you eaten?"
"No, I'm waiting for you." Chao Zhuyi raised her head and looked at him, acting aggrieved and coquettish, "I'm hungry."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Minji called out to the air, "bamboo."
As soon as the words fell, a virtual panda jumped out of the air and replied in a cute voice: "Smart Butler Bamboo is at your service. Please give me your instructions, Master."
"Recipe number seven, let's eat."
"Okay, please wait a moment, Masters."
Bamboo did a somersault in the air and disappeared.
At the same time, the center of the dining table slowly descended and a sink rose up, equipped with hand soap and dry towels.
Xiao Minji pulled Chao Zhuyi to wash his hands, and the sink fell again.
A moment later, a table of delicious hot food rose from the center of the table.
