The world is broken, the cubs mend it

"Yes, don't trust what humans say."

Vitalia felt that it was not a good thing for children to live with humans. The few surviving invaders were not as bad as those humans, but they were not completely good people either.

Although the evil deeds of some people may not implicate an entire race, how can people not hate them when they destroy their own race?

"I don't play with bad people." Yuanyuan nodded and touched his bald fishtail: "Dad, can your scales still grow back?"

"..."

Vitalia shook his head silently. His body's self-healing ability was greatly weakened and was almost lost in the repeated death.

For him, growing new scales was simply a fantasy.

"It's okay, I'll make a beautiful scale for dad."

Yuanyuan sat in the shallows, the sea water lapping against her beautiful fish tail.

She held a black stone in her hand and pounded the gold in her hand, beating it into a thin piece according to her scales.

The texture of gold is relatively soft, and as the boss, the little guy is naturally very strong, and can easily pinch the thin gold sheets into the shape he wants.

Vitalia always carried her child on her back when she ate, for fear that the bloody appearance would scare her, but she still pricked up her ears to listen to what she was doing.

"Okay!"

All he could hear was the little fellow talking happily to himself, holding up the gold in his hand to show him.

"Dad, look at the new scales I made for you."

The piece of gold was very thin and in an irregular fan shape, full of childish fun.

"It's very beautiful, I like it very much."

Vitalia always responded to her children to the greatest extent possible, and looked lovingly at the tiny gold pieces in her hands.

"I'll put it on dad."

Yuanyuan held the gold piece in her hand and stared at her father's tail carefully, thinking about where to stick it most appropriately.

"Okay, see where it would be best to stick it."

Vitalia's seaweed-like curly hair hung down, slightly covering half of her face.

Even though the little piece of gold only stuck to his tail for less than a few seconds before being blown away by the sea breeze, he was still happy.

This is a way for the child to express his love for him.

"Right here..."

Yuanyuan stuck the gold piece on the place where her father's waist connected to the fish tail. As soon as she put it on, a golden light flashed and the gold piece turned into a small piece of golden scale.

"Huh? Why are there so many?"

She touched the small piece of golden scale and found it felt different from before, slippery and like real scales.

"?"

Vitalia looked at the cluster of bright golden scales, raised her hands to cover her mouth in surprise, closed her eyes tightly and then opened them again, thinking she was hallucinating.

The scales were real, but the smooth touch felt unreal to him.

His former fishtail was the same shimmering blue as the child's.

"Daddy has scales now. I will make scales for him in the future."

Yuanyuan happily raised her little hands and circled around him. The newly grown scales on her father's body were much more beautiful than the original color of gold.

"This is all thanks to you, thank you my child."

The mermaids believe in gods, and the sea god gives them life and health.

But all this was not as great as the shock and hope that the child brought to Vitalia. He had never thought that such a magical thing would happen to him.

The dark mermaid leaning against the edge of the rocky beach seemed to sense something and looked in his direction with her gray eyes.

All the undead souls of the mermaid tribe are here, guarding together their new life.

"I want to make the most beautiful fish tail in the world for my dad."

With her father's encouragement and praise, Yuanyuan proudly puffed out her chest and became more and more confident and proud.

After the ice was broken, there was no more snow in the dungeon, and the four players spent seven days safely in the dungeon.

The little guy came to visit them three times a day without missing any meals.

But we will all part ways one day, and we may not have the chance to see each other again after leaving the dungeon.

"Yuanyuan, you don't need to come here again. We will leave here soon."

Chi Xia waited until she finished eating and told her the sad news.

"So when will you be back?"

Yuanyuan wiped her mouth and looked at them reluctantly, not realizing that this would be a long separation.

“Maybe I won’t come back…”

Bai Qi doesn't want to stay in the game for too long, as there are more important people waiting for her in the outside world.

"Why? Don't you like it here?"

Yuanyuan is very good at keeping silent, and she asked a question that left everyone at a loss as to how to respond.

If they could, they would like to leave here immediately.

No one would like a place where they could lose their life at any time.

“We have more important things to do, and our families are waiting for us to come home.

Just like your father is waiting for you to come back soon, we all have more important people to protect."

Li Cheng ruffled her soft hair and gently explained why he would never come back.

"So that's how it is. Then you can go and come visit me when you have time."

Yuanyuan nodded seriously, probably understanding what he meant.

"There will probably be more players coming here in the future. Don't trust others carelessly. Not every player is a good person."

Chi Xia felt that she was too naive and easily trusted others, which was not good for both her and Vitalia.

"That's right. Not every player will be nice to you. People's minds are hard to predict. Don't trust anyone easily."

Bai Qi also told her with reassurance that they might not meet again in the future, but he would remember the time he spent with her.

A few people gathered together and said goodbye reluctantly, and a cold mechanical sound was heard in the sky.

[Congratulations to players Li Cheng, Chi Xia, Bai Qi, and Ruan Meng for successfully clearing the "Endangered Mermaid" dungeon. The dungeon will be released in three seconds, so please be prepared.]

【three】

【two】

【One】

After the countdown ended, the four people disappeared from the spot, leaving Yuanyuan alone in the white tower.

A feeling of loneliness enveloped her heart, and she vaguely realized that she was the one who was trapped here forever.

The little guy sat there alone for a few minutes before he brushed the dust off his butt, walked out of the white tower in a daze, and dived into the sea.

Vitalia also heard the broadcast from the copy system and saw the child swimming towards her from a distance.

He was more worried about his child's future food than his mood.

There was no combustible material or edible food on the rocky beach. The child only wanted to eat cooked food, and he didn't know what to do next.

"They are all gone and will never come back."

Yuanyuan climbed into his arms feeling lost. The place suddenly felt empty and there was no one to play with her.

There are no delicious grilled octopus tentacles either…

"..."

Separation is a compulsory subject in life, and Vitalia doesn't know what kind of words can comfort her.

I could only hold the child gently, rub her head and stay with her.
