Chapter 254: The Mermaid Princess

Long Hanjie saw him and said, “Old Qin, are you alright?”

Qin Kai waved his hand and said, “What could be wrong with me? It’s just that I can’t follow you guys to mooch resources anymore. I have to figure out my own way, and I need to quickly improve my ability development.”

Ye Xuan saw him and said, “Qin Kai, don’t be too disheartened. Once your ability development improves, your combat power will also be strong.”

Qin Kai smiled and said, “Thank you for your comfort. I need to work harder and not waste time here anymore. Goodbye.”

As Qin Kai spoke, he turned and left, leaving behind a lonely figure.

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in Ye Xuan’s ear: “Congratulations to the host, your friend Qin Kai’s favorability has increased to thirty points, allowing for a mid-class lottery draw.”

Qin Kai’s talent is SS-class, and the lottery he provides is a mid-class draw.

Ye Xuan was quite surprised. Qin Kai, who had previously been through life and death in the secret realm with him, hadn’t increased much in favorability, but this time, because of a single comforting word, he considered him a friend…

In fact, abilities related to space are inherently powerful, as the most basic components of this world are space and time, and spacetime is the most fundamental law of this world.

The reason Qin Kai’s talent class is SS-class is because his ability is limited. Until his ability development reaches fifty percent, his only ability is the space bag, which he uses to store items.

Once his ability reaches fifty percent, he can create barriers that can defend against enemy attacks and trap enemies within them. Although it’s not primarily for killing, it’s excellent for support in combat.

When Qin Kai’s ability development reaches eighty percent, he gains the ability to tear through space. Tearing space ignores all defenses, and any enemy in the space affected, if they don’t dodge in time, has only death to face.

In his previous life, Qin Kai died young and never developed his abilities to that extent. However, there is a younger generation with abilities exactly like Qin Kai’s, who has reached such a class that he can create large barriers and divide the battlefield, becoming well-known on the battlefield.

Qin Kai’s ability is SS-class also because, to truly possess sufficient destructive power, he needs to reach an eighty percent development class, which is a late-stage ability.

If it were a space-related ability that could tear space, create barriers, or even create black holes from the start, then such an ability would probably be at least SSS-class.

“System, go ahead and do the lottery draw.”

“Congratulations to the host, you have used one mid-class lottery draw and obtained a mysterious bait.”

Mysterious Bait: A very mysterious bait, suitable for fishing, which might bring unexpected surprises!

Seeing this system prompt, Ye Xuan was quite surprised. Bait for fishing?

Ye Xuan had drawn many times before, but this was the first time he had drawn such an item. Well, he’ll have a chance to try fishing in the East Sea…

After Qin Kai left, Long Hanjie and others curiously looked at the spatial ring in Ye Xuan’s hand and said, “Ye Xuan, where did you get this ring? How come you always have these strange things?”

Ye Xuan casually replied, “This is actually an antique that awakened due to the rebirth of spiritual energy, turning into a spatial ring.”

Long Hanjie was shocked and said, “Really? An antique can awaken?”

Ye Xuan smiled and said, “I was surprised too, but it’s true. It also depends on fate; ordinary people probably don’t have my luck.”

Lin Xu laughed and said, “Well, with this spatial ring, your gains are definitely not a problem. But the East Sea is now the territory of mutated beasts. If you go now, are you sure you won’t become the target of everyone?”

Long Hanjie looked at Lin Xu and asked, “Dean Lin, do you have any ideas?”

Lin Xu said, “I just have an idea. You can try it out, but I’m not sure if it will work. Didn’t Ye Xuan say it? One of the four Sea Kings of the East Sea is the Mermaid King.

The appearance of the Mermaid King should be what we see in movies and TV shows, right? This secret realm has just emerged, so there should still be some time. Why don’t you guys try disguising yourselves as members of the mermaid tribe?”

Xia Mo heard Lin Xu’s words and laughed, “Mermaid? Then I don’t need to disguise, right? In anime, there are also mermaid characters, right? I just need to cosplay as a mermaid, and I can truly possess the abilities of a mermaid!”

At this moment, Long Hanjie suddenly said, “Xia Mo, have you ever watched One Piece? I remember there’s a character in One Piece, the Mermaid Princess, who is seventeen meters tall. Can you cosplay as the Mermaid Princess and have her height?”

Xia Mo replied, “Yes, as long as I cosplay as the target, I can possess the target’s abilities, personality, physique, and so on.”

Long Hanjie slapped his thigh and said, “Then it’s settled. When the time comes, you cosplay as the Mermaid Princess, and the rest of us, well, it’s simple, we’ll hide in your bra. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Xia Mo immediately cursed, “You pervert, why don’t you hide in my pants?”

Long Hanjie habitually flirted, “That’s not impossible either! Oh!”

Before Long Hanjie could finish speaking, Xia Mo had already punched him in the nose, causing blood to spurt out.

Lin Xu saw this and said, “Alright, stop fooling around. Since Xia Mo’s ability is so magical, let’s get ready. Cosplay as the Mermaid Princess you mentioned, and then hide on Xia Mo’s body to head to the East Sea secret realm to see if you can gain some benefits.”

Xia Mo said, “Okay, I’ll go find my makeup artist and props team. The cosplay for this character isn’t too difficult; it should be done in two hours. Let’s meet outside the city later, so we don’t scare ordinary people.”

Ye Xuan said, “No problem, then this time it’s all up to you.”

Xia Mo nodded and immediately left.

Ye Xuan and the others also prepared for a while, then headed to their destination.

This operation, Su Mengli, due to physical discomfort and her abilities indeed being countered by the sea, did not participate.

As for Qin Kai, his role was replaced by the spatial ring in Ye Xuan’s hand, so only Ye Xuan, Long Hanjie, Xia Mo, and Zhou Yun were left.

As for Lin Xu, he had to guard Magic City and would not easily move.

When Ye Xuan and the others arrived, they saw Xia Mo jumping down from her extended van.

At this moment, she was wearing fish-shaped hair accessories, her hair had turned pink, and her eyes were wearing colored contacts, turning into a beautiful water blue.

Her face was beautiful, her bust was much fuller than before, and her legs had turned into a pink mermaid tail of varying shades.

After getting off the car, Xia Mo’s abilities activated, and her body began to rapidly expand in that instant. Of course, her clothes also expanded with her body and did not burst due to the increase in size.

Moments later, Xia Mo had transformed into a seventeen-meter-tall giant mermaid, and her entire demeanor became much more dazed.

Her facial features also changed, looking much prettier than before. She had become the legitimate Mermaid Princess Shirahoshi.

At this moment, Ye Xuan and the others looked up at the Mermaid Princess. If it were a several-meter-tall beauty, the scenery they saw would probably be quite nice.

Unfortunately, since Xia Mo had transformed into the Mermaid Princess, her lower body was a huge fish tail, which wasn’t much to look at.
