The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Faced with the enthusiastic child, several people couldn't help but feel ashamed, and they couldn't get anything useful out of her.

"What's your dad best at?"

Qin Yan decided to start with Vitalia. He didn't look friendly and kept staring in this direction vigilantly.

"My dad knows a lot. He knows everything."

Yuanyuan counted on her fingers again and again, but couldn't tell how many things her father knew.

"So what do you think is the best thing about your father? I can only say one thing: he is better than you."

Qin Yan sighed deeply and suddenly understood the kindergarten teacher's feelings a little.

"My father can read, better than me, but I can't read."

Yuanyuan thought of the notebook full of words again. Her father could understand it, but she couldn't.

"..."

Qin Yan covered his mouth speechlessly and laughed out loud. At this moment, there was nothing that could express his emotions except a bitter smile.

"Oh! Are you still illiterate?"

Xia Chi accurately extracted a piece of information. How can useless information not be considered information?

"What is illiteracy?"

"People like you who can't read are called illiterate."

"Oh! Then I am illiterate."

Yuanyuan nodded, not quite understanding what was said, and had learned a new word.

"..."

Xia Chi looked at her innocent and wise eyes, and suddenly felt that it was a bit unkind of him to say that to a child.

"So what should we do now? We can't get anything out of you."

Lin Che could tell that the BOSS had his own thoughts, but this was just a novelty that was different from previous copies.

"Let's go to the island across the way."

Qin Yan stood up, stretched his body and did some warm-up exercises, ready to go into the water.

"That's too dangerous..."

Xia Chi had thought about this, but Vitalia didn't seem to welcome them.

"Perhaps we can discuss this with Vitalia. We have no ill will towards him, at least not yet."

Qin Yan felt that if the child could communicate, then the other one must be able to as well.

"I'm not going!"

The most important thing in a dungeon is to save your own life, so Lin Che was unwilling to accompany him to take risks.

Qin Yan had no habit of forcing anyone, so he jumped into the sea.

The moment he fell into the water, the mermaid ghosts floating on the shore gathered together and suddenly sank into the water towards him.

"Danger! Come up quickly!"

Xia Chi spoke out in time to remind everyone that the spirits floating on the island were all monsters.

Qin Yan looked at the ghost coming towards him with great force, gritted his teeth, and with the mentality of taking a gamble, he swam faster to Yuanyuan's side.

The ghosts surrounded him, keeping a meter away from him, without attacking him.

He bet right, these monsters would protect the child, and it was safe to stay close to the child.

Xia Chi and Lin Che on the shore gasped and almost thought he was going to die here.

"Why did you jump?"

Yuanyuan was soaking in the water and staring at him, when she heard her father calling from behind.

"Come back, don't get too close to humans."

Vitalia clearly saw that humans hid beside their children when they were in danger.

This is an instinct to preserve his life but also a temptation. He doesn't like humans having impure thoughts towards their own children.

"Dad asked me to go back. Goodbye!"

Yuanyuan swam back, wagging its little tail, and the area surrounded by the ghost also moved.

The mermaid's swimming speed is very fast and it is not easy for humans to keep up. The moment the ghost touched his skin, Qin Yan felt the pain of being burned.

Fortunately, he was not far from the shore, and Xia Chi pulled him up on the shore, so he was not seriously injured. He only had blisters on his arms and legs.

"Vitalia doesn't like humans, so don't get close to him for now."

Even across the sea, Xia Chi could clearly see the other party's expression of disgust towards humans, and everything became very tricky.

What danger awaits us tonight?

"Let me think about it..."

Qin Yan gritted his teeth and treated the wounds on his body. He was too blindly confident.

The child swam back to Vitalia happily, grabbed his fish tail hanging in the water with his little hands, and slowly climbed up along the tail.

"What did they tell you?"

The little guy told his father all the questions the players asked him.

Vitalia quietly clenched her fingers that were hanging on both sides. They were trying to get information from the child, and the child even brought them food.

Human beings are indeed not worthy of close friendship.

"Dad, they also said I was illiterate."

Yuanyuan looked up and smiled at him, saying that once she learned to read, she would no longer be illiterate.

"what?"

The anger on Vitalia's face almost overflowed. How dare this damn human call his child like that.

There are also words with similar meanings in the language of the mermaids, which refer to illiterate little mermaids and adult mermaids with little literacy, and do not have any obvious derogatory meaning.

But in specific human scenarios, he heard a strong sense of derogatory tone.

"Isn't that right?"

Yuanyuan didn’t understand why her father was angry. She thought that man was right. She was just an illiterate.

"..."

Vitalia opened her lips weakly. Her words were rough but the truth was there, but he felt that the word was too rough to describe his own child.

"No, you won't remain illiterate. I will teach you everything I know."

The humans on the other side had not left yet. They were sleeping under the trees on the shore.

evening--

The sun was about to set again when the three of them slowly woke up.

It was quite comfortable to lie on the soft grass. I slept so well that I forgot about my important work.

"Let's go back. We don't know what will happen at night."

Lin Che patted the weeds off his body and stood up dejectedly.

It's a headache to find a copy like this where there is no clue at all.

"Anyway, the big boss won't come to attack us, so let's just make do with it."

Xia Chi comforted himself that his mentality was pretty good.

"Don't leave yet. I have a way to get to the other side."

Qin Yan called them, cleared his throat and talked to the BOSS opposite.

"Vitalia, I know you are also a thinking creature, and you are trapped here for no apparent reason. Perhaps we can discuss how to help you leave here."

"..."

Vitalia's eyes fell on him, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her lips.

Seeing that he ignored him, Qin Yan did not give up.

"You must want to leave here and return to the mermaid tribe, don't you? I assure you that I have no ill will towards you. Please let us go over and discuss it with you."

"Don't waste your energy. I don't believe a word humans say."

Vitalia's heart was not shaken at all. The mermaid population had long been destroyed by humans, and his words seemed particularly ridiculous at this moment.

“We were all dragged in here inexplicably, and we must accumulate enough points before we can leave here.

You must have a mission to complete. You don't want to leave here. Do your children also want to be trapped here forever?"

Qin Yan understood his inner thoughts. A BOSS that had been killed countless times by humans would naturally not trust humans.

Then start from the aspects that he cares about most, there will always be something that can impress him.
