Salted Fish Cub is the Team Pet in an Unlimited Game Chapter 30: Mermaid Town (30)

“Little friend, if you want it, come and get it yourself.”

Hearing Yu Youqing say this, Gu Lin looked down at his own little fishtail, frowning: “But Yuyu-gege, cub doesn’t have legs anymore, how can I go over?”

Yu Youqing: “…”

Yuyu-gege…

Yu Youqing was still stunned, but Gu Lin, with his quick-thinking little mind, already reached out his short little hand to Yu Youmian beside him: “Doctor-shushu, can you carry cub over to get the little pearl?”

He couldn’t walk without his little legs, and he couldn’t get over there, so he could only ask Doctor-shushu to carry him.

Hearing this, Yu Youqing raised an eyebrow, the corner of his mouth showing a trace of mockery.

Yu Youmian, however, was slightly stunned. He looked at this little mermaid cub for two seconds, seeing him in a posture of waiting obediently to be picked up. After a moment of silence, he walked over, put Gu Lin back into the basket, and carried him to the glass wall.

Seeing Yu Youmian’s actions, Yu Youqing chuckled, the sarcasm in his eyes even stronger.

Gu Lin, however, was very obedient, having no objections to being carried.

The glass wall had a square hole, big enough for an adult’s arm to reach through.

This secret room was like a prison, never seeing the light of day, and Yu Youqing was the only mermaid trapped within it.

He didn’t know how long he had been trapped here, and his heart was filled with a heavy hostility.

Gu Lin put his little hand through the hole, his white palm facing up.

Yu Youqing was about to put the pearl in his little hand, but he hesitated, suddenly withdrawing the pearl and darting back, plunging into the water.

“Splash—”

Water splashed everywhere.

When Yu Youqing resurfaced, he was already a meter away from the glass wall.

Not having gotten the little pearl, Gu Lin looked up at Yu Youmian, his little face dazed.

The little cub was best at reading people’s expressions. Seeing that Yu Youmian wasn’t speaking, he silently withdrew his little hand and held his other little hand to ease his embarrassment.

A faint smile slowly curled on Yu Youqing’s lips. He held the pearl that had been formed from his tear in his slender fingertips: “Little friend, do you know what this is?”

Gu Lin obediently answered his knowing question, his voice clear and tender: “A little pearl.”

Yu Youqing tilted his head: “Taking a pearl formed from a mermaid’s tear means abiding by a contract. Are you sure you still want it?”

Gu Lin didn’t understand the dangers of the human heart, and asked curiously, “What contract?”

A cold, evil smile appeared on Yu Youqing’s lips: “To replace me, become the new mermaid, and be trapped here forever.”

Gu Lin, hearing this, wasn’t afraid, but very sincerely informed the other party: “Doctor-shushu said that after the Mermaid Festival, he will send cub home.”

Yu Youqing was stunned, then shook his head, laughing: “You’re really a naive baby. Doctor-shushu says something, and you believe it? How do you know he’s not lying to you? You don’t even know you’ve been sold.”

Gu Lin held his little arms, “Doctor-shushu won’t sell cub. He even sewed cub a little bib.”

Yu Youqing: “…”

Yu Youmian: “…”

There was really no need to specifically bring up the little bib.

Gu Lin’s logic was simple. Selling him and sewing him a little bib didn’t seem to conflict, but he believed that Yu Youmian sewing him a little bib meant he was good to him, and if he was good to him, he wouldn’t sell him.

Yu Youqing was speechless for a longer time this time. He couldn’t imagine Yu Youmian sewing a little bib.

This little mermaid cub’s train of thought was also very unique, his answers repeatedly unexpected, frequently leaving him speechless.

Yu Youqing chuckled and said, “He naturally won’t sell you. After all, you are to replace me and become the new mermaid, becoming the new source of serum. That mermaid named Zhuang Mu probably won’t be able to provide serum for much longer.”

Yu Youmian remained silent and cold, not interrupting Yu Youqing.

Perhaps Yu Youqing had been feeling stifled here for too long, unable to find anyone to talk to, his desire to pour out was very strong.

Even though the one in front of him was a cub who looked less than two years old, and not a very good listener.

Yu Youqing slowly swam over again, lying prone by the edge of the pool, looking at this little mermaid cub: “The Mermaid Town has existed for as long as I’ve been trapped here. Before, Mermaid Town wasn’t called Mermaid Town, but Yu Family Village. The reason Yu Family Village was able to get rich was all thanks to your Doctor-shushu.”

His words were full of hostility towards Yu Youmian, speaking as if he were stirring up trouble to his face.

But he clearly overlooked that the one in front of him was a cub less than two years old.

Gu Lin was not interested in anything else, only wanting to get the little pearl. Doctor-shushu had brought him here to get the pearl too. Seeing that Yu Youqing wouldn’t give him the pearl, he didn’t want to stay here.

And he felt that this yuyu-gege, whether it was his words or the smile on his face, made people uncomfortable, but he couldn’t say why, he just didn’t like this yuyu-gege.

Gu Lin hadn’t eaten yet, so he said, “If you won’t give me the little pearl, I’m going back to chi fanfan.”

Yu Youqing: “…”

Yu Youmian was also stunned.

Yu Youqing didn’t know what to say anymore. He clearly realized that this little cub was not a good listener.

At this time, Yu Youmian took an apple out of his pocket and threw it in through the hole.

Yu Youqing caught the apple with quick hands.

Catching it in his hand, Yu Youqing sneered: “No washing, no peeling.”

Yu Youmian’s voice was cold: “You can choose not to eat.”

Despite his disdain, Yu Youqing also understood his current situation. He took a bite of the apple, the sweetness of the apple making his expression a few degrees more pleasant.

After eating the apple, Yu Youqing handed the pearl to the hole.

Gu Lin, seeing the little pearl delivered to the hole, didn’t take it immediately this time, afraid that Yu Youqing would take it back again.

Seeing that Gu Lin wouldn’t take it, Yu Youqing placed the pearl on the edge of the hole, then darted back half a meter, eating the apple while waiting for Gu Lin to take it himself.

Gu Lin hesitated for a moment, then reached out his little hand and picked up the little pearl.

This pearl still emitted a pale blue glow.

Gu Lin looked at the little pearl left and right, very surprised.

After getting the little pearl, Gu Lin remembered that getting the little pearl meant they could clear the instance, and asked 9527: [9527, have we completed the mission and cleared the instance?]

9527, however, after a second of silence, said: [No.]

Gu Lin was meng: [Ah? Why?]

Gu Lin remembered entering this game, having to stay for three days, or getting the little pearl could clear the instance. Why had he gotten the little pearl, but hadn’t cleared the instance?

The next second, the scene in front of Gu Lin suddenly changed. The secret room scene transformed into another scene.

Gu Lin was being carried in the basket by Yu Youmian, but at this moment, Yu Youmian was gone, Yu Youqing was also gone, and he was no longer in the secret room.

Gu Lin: “?”

Gu Lin felt like he was in the water, and moving freely, swimming very fast. The water flowed across his body, cool and comfortable.

Gu Lin caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, seeing that his arms had also changed. They were no longer short arms, but had grown longer, like the arms of dagege and the others. There were also blue scales attached to his arms.

Gu Lin was startled. He wanted to raise his arm to take a closer look, but found that he couldn’t raise it.

This body wasn’t under his control. He clearly wanted to raise his arm, but he couldn’t. He wasn’t swimming, but he was constantly moving forward.

Gu Lin called out to 9527 in his mind: [9527, where is this? Why did I suddenly fall into the water!]

9527: [Little streamer, don’t be afraid, it’s a flashback. You’re also not in your own body right now.]

Gu Lin: …

9527: [Congratulations, little streamer, your clue points have exceeded ten thousand, triggering a flashback.]

Gu Lin was confused. He hadn’t had time to ask what a flashback was, or whose body he was in, when he found that this body, which wasn’t under his control, was swimming, swimming, and suddenly got caught in a fishing net.

These fishing nets were originally hidden in the dark, not easily discovered.

After being caught in the fishing net, Gu Lin saw that his current body had a fishtail, a beautiful sapphire blue fishtail.

Seeing the fishtail, Gu Lin stared: [Am I in yuyu‘s body now?]

9527: [Yes, little streamer, the perspective you’re seeing now is the perspective this mermaid saw.]

Gu Lin was full of questions. He habitually wanted to tilt his little head, but now this body wasn’t under his control, so he couldn’t tilt it.

Then, he felt himself being pulled up by the fishing net, being hauled out of the water.
