In fact, deep down in his heart, Yi Chen was not sure that he would be able to catch the Death Mermaid, so he intentionally or unintentionally ignored what happened after getting the Mermaid.
Avril's words reminded Yi Chen that he must carefully consider what to do with the Death Mermaid.
Yi Chen has two directions for using the Death Mermaid. He doesn't know which one can be realized. Everything needs to be adjusted according to the specific situation.
Striving to maximize one's own interests is the core basis for Yi Chen's final choice of one of the directions.
The first direction: Use the Death Mermaid as a bargaining chip to exchange with Feng Yuan, so that he can voluntarily give up the temporary company commander Yi Chen and then he can smoothly take over.
Yi Chen believes that the advantage of doing this is that he will not offend Miles Mark, the commander of the 11th Regiment Base. Feng Yuan took the initiative not to be the temporary company commander, and it was impossible for Miles Mark to insist on him. To put it bluntly, a broken temporary company commander was very important to Yi Chen, but insignificant to a powerful man like Feng Yuan and a middle-level imperial military officer like Miles.
As long as Feng Yuan is gone, Yi Chen believes that he must be the temporary company commander of the 7th company based on the respect that instructor Huffman places on him. Now we must first understand the importance of the Death Mermaid to Feng Yuan. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.
Yi Chen couldn't just run up to Feng Yuan and say: "Boy, the Mermaid of Death is in my hands. If you want it, please resign immediately as the temporary commander of the 7th Company and make way for me!"
The second direction: sell the Death Mermaid to Wang Jiacheng, the richest man known as the longest-lived person in the universe, thereby making a huge fortune.
With money you can do a lot of things in this alien world. Whether it is used as starting capital to start a business and accumulate wealth, or use the money to manage the empire's military to help Yi Chen climb to a high position, it's all fine!
On the TV news in the Soldier Bar, Yi Chen didn't like Wang Jiacheng when he first saw him. Because he suspected that it was Wang Jiacheng who killed Dr. Basim’s mentor Yellen.
It is better to stay away from such a cruel person, lest you accidentally offend him one day and be killed by him!
However, according to what Yi Chen learned, the biggest function of the death mermaid is that it may help intelligent creatures live forever. Other than that, there is nothing valuable about the Death Mermaid. Even if its ornamental value is pitifully small, who made it look ugly?
Dr. Basim once told Yi Chen an unconfirmed rumor that a substance called 'melt' could be extracted from the milk of dead mermaids, which could lead to immortality after being injected into the human body.
Although it is an unconfirmed rumor, based on Basim's experience studying immortality for most of his life, Yi Chen believes that this rumor is not groundless and should have a certain degree of credibility.
The statement of longevity may be a bit exaggerated, but it should at least contribute to the health and longevity of intelligent creatures!
Based on what he heard about Wang Jiacheng from his childhood nurse Feng Xian, and the fact that Wang Jiacheng was a well-known longevity rich man in the universe, Yi Chen guessed that maybe Wang Jiacheng had been injected with 'Rong' or something similar to 'Rong'.
As the saying goes, the mermaid of death will only have its value in the eyes of people like Wang Jiacheng who know the goods, otherwise the pearl will be worthless.
So Yi Chen wants to sell the Death Mermaid. Based on his current knowledge, he can only get the maximum benefit from Wang Jiacheng.
Whether it is exchanging with Feng Yuan or selling to Wang Jiacheng, Yi Chen needs to be fully prepared in advance in order to make the right decision. If he stupidly rushes directly to trade with the other party, he may be killed by others. Feng Yuan Neither Wang Jiacheng nor Wang Jiacheng are easy to get along with.
All this takes time. Yi Chen stays in the military camp of the 11th regiment base every day, but there is no place to hide the 3-meter-long death beauty.
"It seems we need to ask Avril to help keep the Death Mermaid for a while!" Yi Chen thought silently.
In fact, Yi Chen had no one else who could help him. The day after his soul traveled to Chen Sheng's body, he was taken to the base of the 11th Regiment of Fengrui Star by the imperial conscription order. In the past six months, he had never left. I don’t know many friends. Those who were far away, such as Treya and Xiao Yi, could not help; those who were nearby, Li Feng, Nangong Yi, Gatsby, etc., all stayed in the barracks of the 7th company all day like him, and even if they wanted to help, they were powerless.
Avril is undoubtedly Yi Chen's most special friend. In the real world, the two have never really met, and all communication is through the cosmic holographic network. Logically speaking, the relationship between the two should be very distant, but the real situation is that the relationship between Avril and Yi Chen is almost the closest among all Yi Chen's friends.
During the monster attack on the base of the 11th regiment, Avril saved Yi Chen for the first time; when Yi Chen was imprisoned in the soul prison, Avril took Yi Chen to play the "Deep Space" battleship battle game; today Yi Chen immediately Just when she was about to lose the dead mermaid, Avril appeared in time to catch the death mermaid for Yi Chen.
In Yi Chen's impression, Avril was the one who came forward to help at these key points. So Yi Chen now had the idea in his mind to entrust Avril to help keep the Death Mermaid, which he valued very much.
Yi Chen asked a little embarrassedly: "Avril, can you keep the Death Mermaid with you for a while? Don't worry, I will pick it up as soon as I finish processing it."
Avril was very happy and asked two transport robots to carry a large transparent box, filled it with fresh water, put the death mermaid, who was dying due to being away from the water source for a long time, into it, and then closed the heavy metal lid.
The dead mermaid quickly regained her vitality after encountering the water. She slapped the wall of the box desperately and made a "dong dong dong" sound, trying to get out.
Yi Chen asked with some worry: "Is the box strong? Don't let the Death Mermaid escape. The green flames she fires are as high as 1,400 degrees, which can burn many things on the spacecraft, and may even destroy the spacecraft!"
Avril giggled and said: "Don't worry, the box is made of Rupert crystal. Even the cannon of the XF-305 delta-wing space fighter cannot penetrate it. This monster has no ability to destroy it!"
Yi Chenxin said: "You are not a super hacker, but you are not short of money! Rupert Crystal is a bit like bulletproof glass on the earth. It is an essential material for the famous top private spaceships in the universe. Rupert Crystal is both hard and hard It is crystal clear and is very suitable for use in the portholes of top-level spaceships. The most important thing is that Rupert crystal is extremely hard. According to the Mohs hardness on earth, it can reach 15. You must know that the hardness of diamond is only 10. This kind of hardness is enough. Resist attacks from ordinary laser cannons and magnetic energy cannons."
Suddenly, the walls around the "Dream" No. B cargo warehouse disappeared. Yi Chen seemed to be suspended in mid-air, looking down at the Longevity Island right under his feet.
He asked in horror: "What happened to Avril?"
Avril said matter-of-factly: "Have you not experienced this kind of thing many times? Have you forgotten it?"
Yi Chen suddenly realized that in the "Deep Space" battleship battle game, when he commanded the battleship battle, he had indeed experienced similar things countless times.
He just didn't expect that a spaceship as small as the Dream would be equipped with an external simulation system, allowing the passengers inside the spacecraft to see everything around them as if they were standing outside the spacecraft.
At this time, a holographic map floated in front of Yi Chen's eyes, with two light spots, one red and one blue, quickly approaching him. The red ones represent the enemy, and the blue ones represent the personnel or equipment of the imperial military.
He lowered his gaze and moved due south along the river, and soon discovered a 12-meter-tall monster running crazily with a thick tail behind its butt. Because he was so fast, his tail kept swaying left and right in mid-air, which looked a bit funny.
Turning on the far-sighted function in the helmet, Yi Chen finally saw the monster clearly and said loudly: "Damn it, isn't the red-eyed wizard a monster in the sea? Why is he running wildly on land!" Then his eyes moved to the rear of the red-eyed wizard. In the distance, staring at the number on the chest of the dark gray power armor, he sneered at the corner of his mouth and murmured to himself: "Feng Yuan, your grandson came very quickly, but it's a pity that it's too late. The Death Mermaid has become my bag." Something in the middle!”
Like a gust of wind, the red-eyed wizard rushed from underneath the Dreamship spaceship along the river embankment towards the due north. Feng Yuan arrived shortly afterwards. He did not continue to chase the Death Mermaid but stopped and kept looking towards the due north.
The height of the 'Dream' spacecraft was about 60 meters above the river at this time, and Yi Chen could clearly see what the red-eyed wizard and Feng Yuan were doing below.
The red-eyed wizard ran to the river section where 14 monsters died and stopped, staring blankly at the broken corpses of the monsters in the river.
Suddenly, it swung the staff in its hand, and streams of purple light soon overflowed from the staff. Those lights were like small snakes swimming flexibly in the air.
The little snakes entered from one eye socket of the monster's corpse, emerged from the other eye socket, and finally returned to the red-eyed wizard's staff.
Yi Chen was a little confused. What was the red-eyed wizard doing? Is it salvation or scanning?
The question was quickly answered. After all the purple light disappeared from the staff, the red-eyed wizard once again made various strange movements with the staff. Finally, he let out a loud whistle and hung the head of the staff above his head. .
The red-eyed wizard raised his head and opened his mouth.
A drop of purple liquid slowly overflowed from the head of the staff and fell into the red-eyed wizard's mouth.
Yi Chen, who observed the red-eyed wizard through the power armor's far-sighted function, suddenly felt uneasy. These monsters from the Sub-Feng Ruixing are somewhat unconventional. Do they have some special ability to see through the invisibility of the 'Dream'?
After swallowing the purple liquid, the red-eyed wizard suddenly turned his head and looked towards the small canyon.
Yi Chen hurriedly asked: "Avril, will this red-eyed wizard find us?"
Not only Yi Chen was anxious, but also Feng Yuan below the spacecraft.
