Chapter 163: The Black Tarot: The Fantasy Mermaid
Chang Ningchen felt a little lonely when he returned to the starry sky platform. Although he had completed the mission in the previous world and Lu Yu was disgraced and blinded, all this was achieved at the cost of his good brother's life, and he couldn't be happy at all.
Chang Ningchen felt a little melancholy and couldn't muster up the energy to enter the next world.
Seeing that Chang Ningchen didn't move, the system quickly reminded him: "Dear, you are now bound and can only choose one world. It is very likely that Dongfang He has already entered the storyline in that world."
Chang Ningchen was very curious about why he was bound, and then quickly opened the world interface. Only the "Black Tarot" world was lit, while the other worlds were gray.
He clicked on the interface of this world and found that it was a fantasy world, like an ocean adventure world. It was possible that Dongfang He failed in the mission in the previous world and entered the next world directly.
The system asks: "You can choose a role this time. What do you want to be?"
Chang Ningchen asked curiously, "What roles can I choose?"
After checking, the system said, "There are human beings and non-human beings. This world has sirens and mermaids."
Chang Ningchen thought about Dongfang He's appearance in the mermaid world and said, "Then it's a male mermaid!"
Then he confirmed that he had entered the world. When Chang Ningchen opened his eyes again, he found that it was still pitch black.
Oh my god! Is this mermaid blind?! Chang Ningchen was horrified to find that he couldn't see anything, and he was still in the water!
The system quickly said, "Honey! You are a mermaid! Mermaids are in the sea. You are in the deep sea now. You can see them by swimming upstream!"
It was pitch black in the dark and Chang Ningchen couldn't see anything. He was so scared that he swam hard to reach the surface of the water.
The system quickly shouted, "You're swimming the wrong way! This direction is the seabed!"
Chang Ningchen quickly turned around and rushed upstream. Finally, after swimming for an unknown amount of time, he reached the sea surface. When he raised his head, the sea surface was still vast. The sea and the sky were connected as one, and there seemed to be no end.
There was no other people, no island, no land, not even a boat. Chang Ningchen felt very panicked.
After swimming for a long time, Chang Ningchen felt very tired, but there was not even a piece of wood around him and he had no place to rest, so he would sink into the water from time to time.
After being choked awake by the water again, Chang Ningchen thrashed around in the water and shouted, "Help! I feel like I'm suffocating!"
The system, with a frown on its face, said, "Honey! You're a mermaid! How can a fish drown?"
Chang Ningchen wailed, "I can't even get used to living in a room with a sea view, let alone living in the sea! It's so dark here! There are no lights! And there are all these weird-looking creatures. Oh my god! It's so scary! I don't want to stay in the sea anymore!"
The system soothed Chang Ningchen and said, "Oh! Isn't it just growing so long on the seabed where no one can see it?! Look at it more often, maybe you'll get used to it!"
Chang Ningchen had no one to chat with, and he felt suffocated. He said, "No! I'm not used to it! I've eaten palm-sized squid before, but the squid that just passed by was bigger than me! And that whale, I thought he was a quiet handsome man, but I didn't expect him to talk louder than me! And he's a chatterbox!"
After chatting with the whale, I discovered that the dolphin I thought was a little angel turned out to be a street kid in the sea..."
The system said speechlessly: "It was you who chose the mermaid!"
Chang Ningchen looked at the vast ocean and his own fish tail. He collapsed and said, "I regret it! I don't want to be a mermaid anymore! When I look at my tail, I think it will be delicious if braised!"
The system, with a frown on its face, said, "You should either go find a deserted island to live on, or try to grow legs."
When Chang Ningchen heard the system's suggestion, his eyes lit up and he hurried to find an island. He still preferred to stay on the shore.
Chang Ningchen swam for two days before he found the lush island, but before he went ashore he saw a person lying on the beach.
The man looked to be a handsome man in his 30s with brown hair, and his clothes looked quite cool! But since he was in a fantasy world now, this should be fine.
The man's legs seemed to be injured and his mouth was chapped. Seeing that he looked half dead, Chang Ningchen exchanged a bottle of mineral water for the man from the system store. He really wanted to find someone to chat with. After coming to this world, he wanted to be with the living, and he didn't want to stay with the dead!
After feeding the baby water, Chang Ningchen went to find food. He caught some seafood, some fruits, and then started a simple barbecue.
The aroma of the food made the man open his eyes, and Chang Ningchen then saw his blue eyes, which were as beautiful as the sky.
The man looked at Chang Ningchen who was eating fish and swallowed his saliva. He was very hungry but too hungry to speak.
At this time, Chang Ningchen didn't know how to change his legs, so he jumped over. Unexpectedly, as soon as he got close, the man pounced on Chang Ningchen's big tail and started biting it.
"Ahhhh! You bit my tail!"
Chang Ningchen flicked his tail hard and sent the man flying! Touching the tooth marks on his tail, he felt that the man must be starving! He started to chew on the raw food as soon as he saw it!
Fortunately, the person taking the photo was not too far away. Chang Ningchen jumped over with the grilled fish and stuffed the fish into the man's mouth. The man went from being confused at first to eating the fish in big mouthfuls, and then to drinking the fish soup elegantly.
Chang Ningchen thought this guy was quite good at eating. He went down to replenish the goods three times, and this guy was finally full.
The man looked at the mermaid in front of him, then at the mineral water bottle beside him, and then at his clothes. He was in a trance for a while, and some answer was about to come out, but he had just escaped death and his mind was still a mess. He could only say the only name that came to his mind: "Achen?"
"Dongfang He?!"
Ahhhh! My luck is still very good! The vast ocean! In a place where there is no one to be seen, the first person to be rescued is my good brother! Chang Ningchen nodded excitedly, and then tried to do a secret dance, but his lower body was a fish tail and he couldn't jump.
Dongfang He watched Chang Ningchen prepare to dance. He waved his hand and said, "I'm too weak now to dance. I'll make up for it in the next world."
Chang Ningchen nodded and skipped the awkward dancing segment.
Dongfang He sighed and fell on the beach. After being seriously injured by Lu Yu, when he opened his eyes, he was not in Chang Ningchen's arms, but on a tattered bed. He failed his mission and went directly to the next world.
In this world, he was just a commoner's child, but he chose to follow the captain to sea. When he grew up, he became a sailor and then a first mate. Later, when the old captain died, he became the new captain.
However, this time he was injured during the pursuit by the navy. Soon he started to have a fever, and then he didn't know how he ended up lying on the beach.
Dongfang He told Chang Ningchen about his experience in this world. He emphasized again, "I came to this island voluntarily to recuperate."
Chang Ningchen frowned and said, "Actually, the crew saw you were dying and left you here, right?"
Dongfang He snorted coldly: "I am the captain, they will definitely come back to find me."
"I don't see any boats around, and there's no doctor on this island. You're definitely not going to survive lying here... Okay, okay, you're here to rest."
Seeing that Dongfang He was unhappy, Chang Ningchen didn't expose him and changed some medicine for him to bandage his wound.
