(Quick Transmigration) Small Cannon Fodder Has Great Power

"Oh, by the way, I haven't asked Miss Siren's name yet."

Gu Yunyun tried to pronounce it, "yi...yu...", and after a few tries, she was finally able to pronounce her name accurately, "Yun...Yun! Yunyun!"

“Yunyun?” Vincent imitated it once. “The intonation seems a bit different. Is it the siren's language?” He recalled Gu Yunyun's pronunciation and tried again. This time, the pronunciation was very accurate. “Yunyun?”

Gu Yunyun nodded.

Vincent smiled and took Gu Yunyun's hand, which was resting on the edge of the wooden tub, and formally gave her a hand kiss. "Hello, Miss Yunyun, my name is Vincent."

The bearded man squeezed forward, and said in a loud, excited voice, "My name is Wallis!"

"My name is Kom, nice to meet you." The baby-faced boy seemed somewhat excited as he exchanged names with the legendary siren.

"The lady from earlier was named Eileen."

Gu Yunyun said she had made a note of it.

Vincent wanted to hear her call his name in a soft and melodious voice, but Gu Yunyun had a hard time pronouncing it, so she just smiled and nodded when she told them her name, which made him a little disappointed.

But he still smiled and said, "Miss Yunyun will have to suffer for a while. We need to lay low for a while and wait for me to recover from my weakness after the detoxification before we can send you back to the sea. The nearest coastal town is a dozen miles away, and we will take you there."

"Thank you," Gu Yunyun said, trying to straighten her tongue.

"It is my honor to serve beautiful ladies."

Eileen prepared the antidote, and Vincent took it and went to his room to rest. Eileen stayed with him in the room to observe the effects of the antidote.

Wallis had drunk quite a bit at noon and was now fast asleep, leaving only Gu Yunyun, who had nothing to do, and Kom, the boy, playing video games on the sofa in the living room.

The quiet living room was filled only with the electronic "biubiubiu" sounds of a game console. Gu Yunyun, bored, peeked over to watch the boy play the game.

Kom had actually been secretly observing Gu Yunyun the whole time. Seeing her curiosity about the game console in his hand, the boy, who rarely had the chance to be alone with a beautiful girl his age, nervously pursed his lips, handed her the game console, and mustered up his courage to invite her, "Want to try it?"

A few hours later, Vincent woke up and went out of the room to see Com sitting on a stool next to Gu Yunyun's wooden tub. The two of them were playing games together, their heads close together, looking very intimate.

Gu Yunyun held Kom's game console, intently controlling the little character to jump around and dodge obstacles and traps; while Kom, seemingly watching the game console intently, was actually not paying attention to the thrilling jumps of the little character in the game, but rather secretly glancing at the stunningly beautiful Siren Miss who was right next to her, her cherry-red lips occasionally uttering tense exclamations and "Hey! Hey!" sounds as she strained along with the character, all of which were so melodious and adorable.

Gu Yunyun, controlling the little character, once again reached an extremely difficult level and wanted to ask Kom for help, "Kom, help, help..."

Com snapped out of his daze and took the game console from Gu Yunyun. Gu Yunyun leaned closer, wanting to see how he would pass the level. Her sudden approach made Com nervously curl his fingers around the game console. Gu Yunyun was so focused on the game console that she didn't see the shy, joyful, and nervously stiff expression on the boy's face.

Vincent was inexplicably annoyed. She had called out Com's name first, and stood so close to him.

Suddenly, Gu Yunyun's head was pushed back by a large hand. She looked at Vincent, who had interrupted her watching others play games, with displeasure. Her big eyes seemed to vividly say, "What?"

Vincent then realized that his displeasure was inexplicable and childish. But the next second he stopped dwelling on it and gave a polite and composed smile. "Thanks to Miss Yunyun, I feel much better after taking the antidote. I wanted to express my gratitude to you."

Gu Yunyun had a slight doubt; his impolite patting of her head just now didn't seem like he was full of gratitude. But seeing his genuinely grateful smile, she put her doubts aside.

"Vincent, how are you feeling now? Is the antidote working?" Wallis came out when he heard the commotion and asked with concern.

"The poison has been neutralized, and you will recover after resting for a while."

"That's great! Hahaha..."

"However, according to the book, the antidote for the poison Winter's Edge will leave one weak for a month. Our food reserves here will only last for a week at most, and we've already spent almost all the money we had on bribes."

"But if we go to the bank to withdraw money now, we're very likely to be targeted by underworld figures associated with the auction house. The power of the underground auction house shouldn't be underestimated." Eileen summarized, "This area is all bustling city; there aren't any hunting grounds. So, gentlemen, what are we going to do about our food supplies for the next month?"

Wallis suddenly clapped his hands. "That's right! Didn't they say that a siren's tears turn into pearls?" He strode up to Gu Yunyun, his fierce face that could scare a child, and leaned close to her. "Come on, cry one and see."

Vincent stepped forward and pulled him back, saying, "How can you be so rude to a beautiful lady? It's really too much to ask a girl to cry."

"Huh?" Wallis scratched his head. "What else can we do?"

“Of course you have to be gentle with girls.” Vincent smiled and took a piece of fish from the table, carefully removed the bones, and gently fed it to Gu Yunyun. “As an apology for my rudeness as my companion.”

Gu Yunyun thought that Vincent was indeed a gentleman and a thoughtful person, and she opened her mouth and ate it.

"...Huh?!" Gu Yunyun's eyes suddenly widened. Holy crap, it's so spicy!!! When did they stuff a whole chili pepper into the fish?! Gu Yunyun's eyes welled up with tears from the spiciness. A tear slid down her cheek, turned into a tiny pearl, and fell into the water with a soft "plop".

Before the second tear could solidify into a pearl and fall into the water, Vincent caught it in his hand. "Ah, so the legend of the siren turning tears into pearls is true."

With teary eyes, Gu Yunyun thought: ...You cunning bastard! You're so mean!

···

This town is not far from the seaside town. As a bustling economic center, goods from all directions gather here. Pearls are not too rare in the town, and it is common for vendors from the seaside to barter with pearls.

Wallis and Com didn't dare to buy too much at once and attract attention, so they bought food in several separate trips from different places, being very careful along the way.

After finishing her meal, Gu Yunyun idly fiddled with a few toy rubber ducks floating on the surface of the wooden tub. Wallis had bought them on a whim during a shopping trip. A burly man with a full beard walked over and placed the squeaky rubber ducks in Gu Yunyun's tub. The sight made her feel both amused and touched.

She was now wearing a long, flowing chiffon dress, which Eileen had given her and braided her hair beautifully; the pearl and flower hair clip in her hair was made by Kom. Besides video games, Kom also loved figurines, and it was later discovered that he had made all those exquisite models himself, showing his exceptional skill.

They were all very kind to her, but Vincent was a bit... indescribable. Despite his classic aristocratic gentlemanly demeanor and his usual kindness, he would often tease her, revealing his cunning side. As they spent more time together, Gu Yunyun discovered more of Vincent's true nature beneath his perfect gentlemanly facade.

Enticed by Vincent's food, Gu Yunyun learned to pronounce his name as her second name.

Gu Yunyun called out his name accurately. He clearly smiled and looked very happy, but he made a helpless face and said in a very mean way, "Sigh, it's really not easy to finally learn it. Fish really don't have very good memories."

At this moment, there were only the two of them in the living room. Vincent's smile was a little mischievous this time, with a touch of lively roguishness. Under Gu Yunyun's angry glare, he reached out and pinched her cheek, "As a siren, to be captured by humans, what a silly fish."

Despite having a bellyful of rebuttals she couldn't utter, Gu Yunyun finally condensed all her words into a single word, vividly expressing her disdain and anger: "...Pah!"

Vincent laughed even harder, and then went a step further and ruffled Gu Yunyun's tuft of hair.

Gu Yunyun wanted to punch him in the chest with her little fists, but Vincent stretched out his long arm and blocked her head, so no matter how long she swung her arm, she couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.

Eileen walked into the living room and saw this scene. She said unsurprisedly, "Oh dear, they're bullying the little siren again."

Vincent withdrew his hand, and Gu Yunyun lay in the water, looking as angry as a pufferfish.

Eileen shook her head helplessly, "Speaking of which, Vincent, you're especially childish in front of Xiaoyun. If those noble ladies who secretly call you 'Melancholy Prince' saw you like that, they'd definitely be disillusioned."

Upon hearing this cringeworthy and embarrassing nickname, Gu Yunyun regained her composure and mercilessly pointed at him, laughing and mocking him.

Vincent shrugged nonchalantly. "Thank you for your kind offer. Perhaps next time I could try playing a member of the royal family who understands the plight of ordinary people?"

Just then, the toy dogs in the living room started barking. Gu Yunyun had seen Kom playing with these four toy dogs before, but she didn't expect them to bark.

But Vincent and Eileen's expressions turned serious. Almost simultaneously, the second mechanical puppy in the square display, facing another direction, also began to bark. Vincent went over and patted the heads of both puppies, and their barking stopped.

Eileen quickly turned and went inside to call Wallis and Colm, "Someone has broken into the yard."

Although Gu Yunyun didn't understand what was going on, she was also affected by their tense atmosphere and listened carefully to the sounds outside.

The other two puppies also started barking, but Vincent stopped them.

"We did a very clean job, how did they find us?"

Vincent spoke calmly, "Duchess Blaise."

Eileen was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and cursed, "That crazy woman, wasn't poisoning enough...?"

Wallis scooped Gu Yunyun out of the wooden tub and carried her into the house, where there was a hidden entrance to a basement. If Wallis hadn't opened it, Gu Yunyun would never have realized that this place was a hidden gem.

There was even a wooden bucket filled with water in the basement, perhaps as a precaution for unforeseen circumstances. Gu Yunyun was carried inside by Wallis.

"You wait here." Wallis said, then picked up a gun from the basement and left, closing the hidden door and taking away all the light.

"Will they be alright?" Gu Yunyun quickly adapted to the dark environment, her eyes glowing with a faint blue light, which was clearly visible even in the darkness.

The system was also a little panicked. "I don't know. The original male protagonist didn't find any news about the siren after being poisoned, and he didn't come to the city where this underground auction house is located. Now everything has changed with your arrival, and all the follow-ups are unknown."

"Can you detect the situation outside right now?" Gu Yunyun asked anxiously, listening to the faint sounds of chaotic fighting.

"There were too many people coming. Although the four of them had their weapons modified to be very advanced, they were still..."

"Okay, I understand." Gu Yunyun flexed her fingers; the moonflower juice in her body had long been metabolized. "I knew this mission wouldn't keep me this relaxed forever."
