738 Mermaid (1/2)

The wind kept blowing in from the ocean. The abandoned lighthouse was like a sundial, faithfully recording track of the sun.

Zhang Zian rubbed his calf. After a series of serious jump from the rocks, his legs were cramping.

He lifted his phone and focused the camera lens on this creature named Sihwa so he could capture her.

[Game Hints]: Target confirmed––Mermaid!

Indeed so.

In fact, he could recognize it without the game hints, as there was only one half-human, half-fish creature out there; however, the confirmation from the game was more reassuring.

If she was a naturalist girl, he would have been too shy to take a picture of her with his phone. Since she was an elfin, though, it didn't matter anymore.

He could easily cage her in his phone as soon as he pressed the ”capture” button… but he didn't do it, as she had one last, unfulfilled wish. She wanted to wait for her long-legged Oppa to show up.

When he had captured Old Time Tea in the Treehouse in Hidden Fog, he didn't press the ”capture” button right away, either. Old Time Tea had an unfulfilled wish, also, and it didn't have time to drink the three cups of tea in front of it. It would have been such a shame to waste such a treasure.

Therefore, he decided to wait. He had plenty of time to waste, anyway.

The mermaid supported her body on the beach with both her arms and flapped water over and over with her wide tail out of boredom. She glanced around while she swung her curly, dark green hair and mumbled about why her long-legged Oppa was still not here.

Frankly speaking, in terms of appearance, the mermaid was indeed a beauty. Her face was delicate and clear-cut. Her big, blue eyes were bright and kind. Her long eyelashes made her seem so smart and witty. Her skin was fair and tender. She looked gorgeous without makeup––much prettier than models and celebrities. Adding in her exquisite curves, she was the spitting image of ”the angel's face and the devil's body.” The only shame was that… her lower body was a fish tail.

Zhang Zian played with his phone and came across an app for smarta** answers. He posted a question: ”What do you do with a mermaid you found on the beach? Waiting online. This is urgent!”

It was already midnight in China, yet there were people answering him within seconds––maybe they were trying to get more attention by posting the first answer.

”Thanks for the invitation! A mermaid found on the beach… I'm just wondering how old you are? Are you a guy or a girl? I've had the same dream in the past, but then I woke up! If you are a girl, I'm available for dating!”

Wishful thinking! I never invited you, okay?

”Here is my answer! It depends whether the upper body of the mermaid is fish, or the lower body. This will determine whether you'll cook Chili Fish Head or Braised Fish Tail later on!”

Crap! Was this dude a food junkie?

”What to do with a mermaid? You enjoy yourself first, of course!”

This was sick!

After flipping through the answers for a while, Zhang Zian didn't find any useful suggestions so he deleted the smarta** app.

The lighthouse was abandoned, but it was still solid.

Galaxy snuck into the abandoned lighthouse and ran to the top as quick as smoke.

”Meow. Zian! What is that over there?” its voice called from the distant top.
