Chapter 3: Million fish pet

For a moment, Li Yu thought he was hearing a hallucination.
After waiting and waiting, he didn't seem to change back into a human.
Not only hasn't changed, but an inexplicable system has emerged, which seems to be called... the cute pet system?
When Li Yu remembered the name, his eyes suddenly lit up, and two lines of shining golden characters appeared out of thin air.
Just then he prompted his system tone to actively say: "Host, please select the main task or the side task."
Li Yu blinked, as if he had touched a system accidentally.
This system called him the host, and it should be his golden finger. As expected, it was not white to become a fish. Although he is still a fish, he has not been able to change back into a human, but with a golden finger, maybe he can find a way to become a human by following the system prompts?
Remember that the previous reminder was that he completed the first step of a main task...
Li Yu habitually wants to click on the main task line like a touch screen, but this is an unusual move for people, but it is not easy for fish because the fins are too short to reach.
Li Yu slapped his fins a little anxiously, thinking that he would be able to click on it, the main mission suddenly flashed twice by himself, and many lines were unfolded.
Li Yu: I see, this system does not need to be operated, it can be operated only by mind and thought.
The few lines under the main task, except for the top row that is lit, the rest are dark, which should correspond to each main task.
Li Yu eagerly wanted to change back into a human, and glanced at the title of each main mission. It was all about fish, no one.
In addition to the "tyrant’s millions of fish pets" that he had heard of, there are also "tyrants' fish-raising family", "fish postpartum care", and so on, one by one looks incomprehensible.
The one on the top is "Million Fish Pet", you can click in to check it, other tasks are not available for the time being.
Li Yu couldn't help but set up a spot, and "Tyrant's Million Fish Pet" immediately popped up the task description and task progress.
He looked at the explanation first. This explanation is also simple, that is, to become a pet fish that the tyrant loves. Although it has a little title party, it is quite a name that fits the cute pet system.
Wait, what seems to be missing?
It seems that the title tyrant appears in many places, but he still doesn't know who the tyrant is.
The system seemed to sense his confusion, and a transparent three-dimensional frame with rose petals popped up, and inside the frame was Jing Wangtian's angry face.
It turns out that King Jing is a tyrant.
Li Yu grinned, because he met King Jing, is the "first acquaintance with the tyrant" complete?
Having said that, this King King just looks cold and doesn't like to talk. Why is he called a tyrant by the system?
The system did not respond this time, and the handsome face of King Jing remained unchanged in the frame.
This... Is it to ask him to go a little bit further?
Li Yu thought for a while, and poked Jing Wang's cheek far with the tip of his tail.
This time the system has some other tips.
The flying rose petals automatically formed an explanation about King King. King King's name was Mu Tianchi, the fifth prince of the emperor of Chu, who was born dumb and unable to speak.
Li Yu: "..."
It turned out that King King was called Mu, Tian, ​​Chi? ?
Li Yuru thundered, no wonder he felt familiar the first time he heard the title King King, and no wonder King King was too quiet compared to Wang Xi and Xiao Linzi. It was just that he was thinking of running away and failed to react in time. Now he finally knows. Which pit did he drop!
He is so familiar with the name Mu Tianchi, but it's not because he was bored and stayed up late to read an online article "The Tyrant and the Little Jiao Concubine", a cold and gloomy bird of prey, he would punish the nine races at any time. But because he was born dumb and kind of pitiful tyrant.
He is wearing the book with the system!
Don't ask a tyrant article, why he turned into a fish, and don't ask a tyrant article, why he was equipped with a cute pet system, and all the tasks he did were fish. The question is -
"Anyway, if you wear them all, you can accept your fate. I heard that keeping pets can make people caring. The purpose of your existence is to make the tyrant male lead sex." The system slowly pushed a system voice over.
Li Yu: "..."
He knew that the system was not at ease!
He didn't want to do these weird tasks at all. Wouldn't he be able to force him to fail if he didn't do it?
The system immediately said: "The cute pet system cannot force the host, but the host cannot complete the task and cannot become a human for a lifetime."
Li Yu: What? ! Can't I wear it back when I die?
"No." The system is certain, "If you can't become a human, you can only have the lifespan of a fish, and finally turn into fish bones and fish ashes."
Li Yu: ... What if you give up the task?
System: "It immediately turns into fish bones and fish ashes."
Li Yu is about to explode, isn't it a force in disguise?
The system emphasizes again: "The cute pet system will not force the host..."
Li Yu: Please don't talk back and forth about Che's reel!
Li Yu didn't want to become fish bones and fish ashes, and still had no interest in the tyrant's transformation. He just wanted to know, what exactly should he do to become human?
System: "The main task is carried out to a certain extent, there will be a step to change back to human."
Li Yu: It's almost the same... well, it's not just a main task, just do it.
Although pretending to be indifferent, he actually knew very well that he could not risk his life. There is one sentence in the cute pet system that is right. Anyway, if you wear it, he should believe that this system is the golden finger attached to the book and can appear in his spiritual world.
Now that he decided to do the task, Li Yu began to calm down and carefully studied the task of "a million fish pet" he was doing.
This task is divided into a number of steps. The first step "Initial acquaintance with the tyrant" has been completed, and the second step "Interaction with the tyrant" is on, and there will be no more. It seems that you will have to wait until the second step is completed. The next step is displayed.
...This stingy system, without even giving him a detailed reminder, interacting with the tyrant, how can I move it?
King Jing is a king. He is just a fish in the dining room. What is the relationship between the two? Li Yu is a little worried. Do you want him to make himself into fish soup or braised fish and serve it to King King on a plate?
System: "Turn your mind, use your heart."
Li Yu: "..."
How does this system think it is mocking him!
Li Yu couldn't figure out anything from the wonderful main mission, and his eyes rolled and remembered to see the side mission.
The so-called branch line means whether you can do it or not. Anyone who has played online games knows that branch tasks are generally not too difficult, and there are generous rewards. The main line is so weird, maybe he can try to find clues from the branch line.
Li Yu chose to check the sidelines and found that the side tasks were all dark-colored task names, indicating that it was not yet time to be able to do these tasks.
For example, one of the side tasks is--
"Become a Koi".
This task looks pretty good. Since it is a good fish for the time being, making koi is better than making ordinary carp, right?
All fools know that Koi has super luck, why can't this kind of task be done?
System: "All branch tasks have preconditions, and they can only be carried out when the preconditions are triggered."
Li Yu: What are the requirements for the Koi mission?
System: "Complete the main line-million fish pets."
Li Yu:...Damn! ! Is it too much to get around the stalk of being a fish pet! !
System: "Yes."
Li Yu thought to himself, he is obviously a man, but he is going to be another man's pet fish, and this man has a bad temper and can't speak. Is it too difficult?
I don’t know what rewards are for completing the task.
Li Yu: Then after completing the million fish pets, what rewards can there be-should they be?
System: "Yes. You have completed the first step, and the power of the fishtail has been strengthened. Please use it with caution. The reward for the second step is a portable space for storing things. Other rewards will be announced as the task is updated."
Li Yu's eyes lit up, and what is the use of strengthening the fish's tail? He didn't realize it for a while, but it is good to carry things with his own space. It is not convenient for him to be a fish, so he has to overcome his shame and do the task quickly. !
Thinking of this, the system reminded him to quit.
...
Li Yu woke up, opened his fish eyes, and found that he was lying in a blue and white porcelain jar filled with water.
It turned out that the dialogue with the system was in his spiritual world, and he could not be seen from the outside. In fact, he was bitten by a big white cat, and he had been out of water for too long, and he had fainted for an hour.
There was a pain in his body, and the wound he was bitten by the big white cat had not healed. Li Yu looked at the surrounding environment a little confused.
I remember that before he lost consciousness, he almost broke his tail. No one paid any attention to his call for help. He should still be lying on the floor at this moment. How did he change his place?
In any case, if you are injured, you have to heal your injury, you have to figure out where you are, you have to find King King as soon as possible to complete the interaction step.
After thinking about it, Li Yu carefully looked at the world in the tank.
This blue and white porcelain jar was much better than the black fish basket that he had passed through when he first came. It doesn’t smell like the oily smoke of the dining room. It is open and ventilated, but the mouth of the jar is a little high for him, and he can only see it when he looks up. There is a ceiling above his head. Although small, it can be seen that it is a room with carved beams and painted buildings. It can be seen that he is now in a place of wealth.
The water in the tank was very clear, and there was only one fish for him, and he planted a few green plants next to him, swaying gently with the waves.
Under him, there was a piece of snow-white stones. Li Yu studied these stones, and each of them was round and round with edges and corners removed. The fish lay on the top of the stone without any gaps, which is a good place to heal injuries.
Li Yu was going to pull a leaf of aquatic plant, but it was not easy to hold the aquatic plant with the left and right fins for a long time, not to mention tearing the fins by hand.
Suddenly, he remembered what the system had said and strengthened his tail power. Maybe he could try using the tail?
Li Yu waved his tail at the water weed less hopefully.
hiss! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts! !
Li Yu grinned with pain after the wound was affected, regretting his recklessness.
After the fish's tail was thrown, nothing changed. Li Yu thought that the system was tricking the fish. At this moment, a green leaf of aquatic plants slowly fell down and landed on top of his head.
Li Yu glanced at his tail excitedly, tried to hold the broken waterweed leaf with his mouth and pull down, covering most of the fish body, and lay on the white stone bed.
Healing his wounds is to be raised under a quilt, so let him rest for a while and heal his mind. When he gets better, he goes to King Jing.
I don't know how long I slept, there was a soft "creak" in my ear.
Li Yu knew that this was the movement of the door opening, and someone should have entered the room he was in.
This person who came in was the one who saved him last and put him in the celadon jar.
There are water, plants, and round stones in the celadon aquarium, which looks like a fish tank in every way. Can make this arrangement, most of it will not be to eat him, but to support him.
Who would this person... be?
The leisurely footsteps gradually approached, and Li Yu was inexplicably expectant.
He raised his head slightly and waited for a while. After a while, a handsome face appeared above the fish tank.
Li Yu:! ! !
Oh my God, this person—isn’t it his task, King Mu Tianchi? ?
... So, did King Jing rescue him?
Li Yu was surprised and happy. This is really no effort at all!
Originally, deep in his heart, he always rejected being a pet fish, but in the face of the savior and the target of the task, he can bear it!
A qualified pet fish...what should I do?
Please the master, make the master happy!
Li Yu shook his head against the aquatic quilt, flatteringly spit out a small transparent bubble at King Jing.
I'm such a cute fish, don't cut my head, okay?
The author has something to say:
Small theater (spit bubbles)
Li Yu: spit (1) bubble (make) bubble (play)
King King: Come—eat—me.
Li Yu shook his head: No, right? It was vomiting (one) bubble (making) bubble (playing)
King King: Very — good — delicious
King King: I know you can't wait to be eaten by me.
Li Yu:...
