Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

"Young man, will you sign a contract with me?"

When Su Xingze said this, Zhang Shenglin was working on a project, which was an assignment from yesterday's project class.

He paused in his actions, looked up at the little mermaid, who was twenty centimeters long and tall, lying on his newly made recliner, holding a pure black book in his hands, staring at the book without blinking, her white, gauze-like tail fin swaying leisurely with her fish tail.

The book titles were incomplete; some were simplified Chinese characters he had seen before, while others were unfamiliar. Zhang Shenglin could only guess and make inferences.

The Adventures of the Magic Master

The words "contract" are faintly visible on the intricate and ornate cover design.

The little mermaid always had all sorts of strange books in her hands. Some were all pictures, which she called comics, and others were all text, which she called novels.

Zhang Shenglin had obtained the little mermaid's permission to look through the books he was reading and found that they were all strange and unusual storybooks.

This was a book he had never seen before. Zhang Shenglin, a child whose daily life was dull and boring, found it hard not to be attracted by its bizarre and fantastical content. However, he had self-control that was different from his appearance. After reading for a while, he returned the book to the little mermaid. After that, no matter how much the little mermaid tempted him, he remained unmoved.

He is not yet qualified to read leisure books. If he spends all his time on books that do not improve his strength, he may have a hard time even growing up.

He doesn't look at it, and the little mermaid won't force him. He just flips through it to pass the time when he has nothing to do.

Sometimes, when the little merman gets engrossed in reading, he will suddenly act out lines and scenes from the book. Zhang Shenglin went from looking at him like he was a fool at first to now being used to it. He thought the little merman would do the same this time.

So Zhang Shenglin habitually ignored the little mermaid's words and continued to focus on completing his assignment for the mechanical class.

"Snapped!"

Su Xingze flew over at some point, his pure white fishtail slapping Zhang Shenglin's hand. Even a 20-centimeter-long merman couldn't be that strong; Zhang Shenglin's hand only turned slightly red, and with his regenerative abilities, the redness quickly disappeared.

Zhang Shenglin looked down at the little mermaid, his eyes filled with obvious confusion.

Su Xingze, hands on hips: "I'm talking to you, why are you ignoring me!"

Zhang Shenglin frankly said, "I thought you were saying a line from a book."

Su Xingze, whose lines were indeed taken from the book, coughed lightly, flew to the child, and with a wave of his hand, the system's course recommendation interface appeared in front of the child.

"Never mind, take a look at this first."

On the white, transparent interface, Su Xingze displayed the essential courses selected based on the child's recent learning, along with promotional videos for the courses.

The first video is about the mechanical skills that the child has been learning recently, and the content is divided into two parts: making mechanical devices and solving mechanical devices.

A figure whose face was obscured quickly transformed a pile of wood and metal into a giant flying kite. Activating the mechanism, the kite spread its wings and took flight, its movements so agile that it seemed completely unlike anything made of wood.

The video ends, and a magnificent mechanical city appears on screen. The city is full of traps and the terrain is ever-changing. A person steps into the city, and when he leaves, there is no intact trap left in the entire mechanical city. Then he returns to the city and restores the entire mechanical city by himself.

The first video ends, the second is about light-footed kung fu. The first scene shows a man walking on a cliff as if it were flat ground.

On the cliff, boulders swayed precariously in the wind. The man lightly touched one of the boulders, using the momentum to fly more than ten meters into the air. The boulders only fell completely into the valley winds after his figure had disappeared from sight.

The third video showcases martial arts, with a man wielding a broadsword positioned in the center of thousands of enemies, single-handedly holding off an almost endless horde of foes, preventing them from advancing even a single step.

Then came feng shui, medicine, and Qimen Dunjia...

The child, seeing such a video for the first time, was completely mesmerized. Su Xingze seemed to see a dazzling little flame igniting in the child's eyes, but upon closer inspection, the child's large, clear black and white eyes remained calm and serene.

Su Xingze turned off the video, and when the child looked over, he lowered his voice as if to sound profound.

"I am a descendant of the ancient divine beast Bai Ze. I am knowledgeable in astronomy and geography, and I have collected all kinds of ancient and modern arts."

"I possess countless methods and vast knowledge. Young man, would you like to sign a contract with me?"

At this moment, Su Xingze's small body seemed to be ten thousand feet tall, and his whole body radiated a holy and mysterious light.

Faced with the mermaid's grand self-introduction, the child silently focused his gaze on the mermaid's ethereal fish tail, then slowly raised his head and gave the mermaid a look.

Bai Ze with a long fish tail?

Seeing the child's expression, Su Xingze flicked his tail and said, "What, do you think I'm lying to you?"

The child lowered his eyes and shook his head; he didn't think the little mermaid was lying to him.

The little mermaid is very mysterious. Although he is a mermaid, he does not live in water and can fly. The little mermaid can produce things out of thin air, can grow bigger and smaller, can control water, can heal, and can make himself invisible to everyone except himself.

Sometimes, even children think that the little mermaid is just their imagination.

Seeing the child deny it, Su Xingze snorted: "I have a part of Bai Ze blood in my body and inherited Bai Ze's talent. Otherwise, do you think I would follow just anyone I see?"

"You weren't the only one who survived at the ancient city ruins. It couldn't have been because you were cute, could it?"

Su Xingze was not lying; he did indeed possess a portion of Bai Ze bloodline, and his ability to perceive the world's consciousness and see the world's favor on children stemmed from this.

"Do you want to sign a contract with me? Don't worry, I won't harm you. On the contrary, signing a contract with me will be of great benefit to you. You want to become stronger, right? I have all the courses you learned in the Zhang family, and even more advanced knowledge than the Zhang family."

"Putting aside everything else, let's talk about the art of bone shrinking."

Su Xingze pulled up the course interface and pointed to the category of Bone Shrinking Technique: "I've looked into it, and your Zhang family's Bone Shrinking Technique is already considered one of the top-tier techniques in this world, but here, it can only be ranked in the upper-middle level."

"A good bone-shrinking technique can transform an adult into a child, a strong man into a thin man, or a man into a woman without any flaws, and there will be no aftereffects during the practice."

"The Zhang family's bone-shrinking technique is already very powerful, but it still has aftereffects."

As he spoke, Su Xingze looked the child up and down and said with a malicious smile, "If you keep training like this, it will be difficult for you to grow taller than 1.8 meters when you become an adult."

The Zhang family has good genes; the tallest one doesn't even reach 1.85 meters, all thanks to practicing bone-shrinking techniques.

Zhang Shenglin didn't care about signing a contract with the little merman. He could sense that the little merman had no ill intentions, but perhaps he was hiding something, and he didn't care about that.

The things the little mermaid showed him were very appealing, but the Zhang family's knowledge was also quite good. Perhaps they weren't as advanced as the little mermaid, but for him, who was not yet nine years old, it was enough for him to learn for a long time.

If he were to be cautious, Zhang Shenglin should have refused to sign a contract with the mysterious little mermaid of unknown origin. He knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, but he was tempted by the little mermaid's clear and beautiful eyes.

His emerald green eyes were the most beautiful color he had ever seen, clear and transparent, as if you could see right through them. Occasionally, a sly glint would flash in his eyes, making them exceptionally lively and captivating.

Zhang Shenglin didn't want to see disappointment in those eyes, so he agreed.
