Chapter 18: Siren Town (2/2)

[There are 20 people watching player Bai Liu’s small TV. You have lost 300 viewers in just one minute. What type of disappointing antics did the player do~?]

[The popularity of player Bai Liu has fallen to the bottom and you have won the title of ‘Inferior Clown’. Perhaps now, only your death can entertain the public and make the audience laugh~]

The sailors on the ship were in a good state. They prepared two small boats for Andre and Bai Liu to put them out into the deep sea. Bai Liu seemed confused by the situation and stood blankly beside the railing. He even asked for an extra quilt from a sailor, saying he might be cold on the boat at night.

The sailor looked at Bai Liu mockingly and placed two or three thick quilts on his boat before saying meaningfully, “I wish you a good night. Good night, Mr Bai, if you can wake up.”

Bai Liu smiled. “I will.”

There were many small boats on either side of the two boats. These small boats contained fishermen who looked like deep-sea fish. The fishermen were strangely similar to Andre. In the dark night, there were only small lights on the boats. In the dim light, the eyes of the fishermen glowed with a faint green light. They stood on boats swaying on the waves but these fishermen were strangely motionless. They stared directly at Bai Liu on the boat holding the quilts and their gills slightly opened and trembled, as if they were seeing prey.

Andre stood in another small boat not far from Bai Liu. Saliva filled his mouth and his eyes glowed with the same green light as these fishermen. He stared at Bai Liu and whispered hoarsely, “Bai Liu, take your stupid quilts and go to the bottom of the sea to sleep.”

The big ship slowly left. A sailor told them that the next morning, the ship would come to pick them up.

Bai Liu looked around. Apart from Andre, there were many fishermen on the small boats who didn’t leave with the big ship. Instead, they gradually moved closer to Bai Liu and surrounded him.

Even if Bai Liu’s mind was currently dizzy, he knew very clearly that he was the weakest ‘larva’ here. The fishermen had given all the merfolk to the sailors and he would be spending the night with these starving fishermen. He was afraid that he would be torn to pieces of meat and swallowed in less than half an hour. There was also Andre staring beside him. On the sea in the middle of the night, Bai Liu was completely helpless.

He might be alienated but jumping into the sea to escape wasn’t a good choice. He was only in the initial alienation. Bai Liu could feel that his mouth and nose could breathe while the gills next to his ears had no breathing function. It was unknown if the gills could breathe in water. Even if it was possible, Bai Liu definitely wouldn’t be able to outswim these highly alienated fishermen and Andre. Jumping into the sea was nothing more than the difference between dying above water or dying below in the sea.

Bai Liu also had the true love ship task. In this situation where it seemed extremely difficult to survive, he had to stay on the boat all night and beat Andre. It was impossible. Wang Shun slowly put down the pen that was constantly recording and sighed sincerely. “Unfortunately, the best item to use to win this bet is the water bubble.”

“This item can drive away the fish. If you buy two and use them three times then you will be able to survive until dawn. It might be a bit expensive at 140 points but it is useful. If Bai Liu hadn’t spent his points indiscriminately, it would’ve been easy for him to get there.”

The player watching next to him also nodded in agreement. He folded his arms and shook his head helplessly. “After all, he is a newcomer. It is normal if you can’t play. This Bai Liu might occasionally show an excellent performance but he is always messing around. It is a common problem for newcomers.”

“It is obvious that the water bubble is a high popularity item but he didn’t buy it. Instead, he bought alcohol. What can alcohol do at this time? Disinfect himself and send himself to the fishermen as clean rations?”

The scattered audience remaining there started dispersing.

At this time, Andre’s boat shook violently on the screen. A man, no, a merman landed on it and opened his mouth, grinning at Andre with sharp teeth. The audience who were about to leave suddenly stopped.

Wang Shun pushed up his glasses and leaned forward violently. “What is this situation? Shouldn’t the fishermen and Andre start attacking the player here? Why did they attack Andre?!”

The merman above Andre was very ferocious. He was wet from being in the sea and got on the defenseless Andre’s boat. Then he fiercely bit Andre’s neck. Andre let out a scream and the gills on both sides trembled from the pain.

Stinky black blood was sprayed all over the ship and some splashed into the sea, blending with the dark water.

The smell of blood immediately floated from the sea. All the fishermen made strange sounds like they were gulping and their eyes slowly moved to Andre’s boat.

Andre exuded the smell of food that was so attractive to them. The boats that were originally approaching Bai Liu deviated from their path and gathered around Andre’s ship.

There was an eerie chewing sound. Andre’s boat was full of hungry merfolk. He panicked and wanted to jump into the sea, but he was pulled back by his ankles. The merfolk filled his boat. Andre raised his hand and made a vague whimper of pain, completely overwhelmed by the small hill of merfolk biting him.
