Lords of Hegemony: Conquer from the Mermaids

Chapter 5: Silver-Tailed Mermaid
"Coral Weaver? Is it a craftsman exclusive to the aquatic race? So many buildings require the profession of Coral Weaver. I hope one of these eighteen mermaids can give me one!"

On the building panels, almost every building requires a craftsman called a coral weaver to complete. If there are no coral weavers, you can only watch helplessly and not build a single one.

As a modern person, Meng Zheng has read a lot of novels and played a lot of games, so he finds it very easy to understand.

This profession of coral weaver is obviously a construction craftsman exclusive to aquariums. In Meng Zheng's impression, the popular science video he watched when he was a child said that coral is formed after the death of a creature called coral polyp.

Most marine life lives in coral jungles, which can be said to be the unique building material in the ocean.

Apart from the buildings that required the Coral Weaver, there was another building that caught Meng Zheng's attention.

That is the protective formation, which requires not only the coral weaver but also the assistance of spiritual practitioners to build.

Meng Zheng was naturally no stranger to formations. As the essence of Eastern mythology, almost all fairy-tale novels or stories mentioned the existence of formations.

As long as there are enough materials and formation diagrams, and a certain number of people, it can exert extremely powerful power.

As a protective formation exclusive to the mermaids, this formation is obviously a water-based protective formation. As long as it is deployed, Meng Zheng will no longer have to worry about the safety of the territory.

"Unfortunately, too many resources are needed. It cannot be produced in a short time."

Looking at the various introductions to the territory's buildings, Meng Zheng felt a bit of a headache. The territory was now impoverished, lacking money, people, and resources—literally, it lacked all three.

"Fortunately, the system gave me five mermaid huts, otherwise I wouldn't even have a place to sleep today." Thinking of the five mermaid huts given by the system, Meng Zheng felt a little fortunate.

If they didn't have these huts, the 18 mermaids who were about to join the territory might have turned around and run away.

Living in the open air, the people are on the verge of running away at any time. Once they are released, we must quickly collect food, arrange housing, and stabilize the people's hearts. Only after all these are done can we start the first step in developing the territory.

He stopped paying attention to the territory introduction and looked at the group of floating light balls.

Meng Zheng gently picked up the five hut light balls, fearing that they would be accidentally damaged. He swam carefully to the open space on the left side of the core of the territory and placed the mermaid huts one by one.

Meng Zheng had already chosen the location of these five shacks. He placed them in a row with the core of the territory as the center point,

The ball of light exploded, and five shacks, four meters high and seven meters wide, fell to the bottom of the lake after the light disappeared.

The shack is made of wood, seaweed and coral woven together, and looks like a bird's nest.

The soft soil at the bottom of the lake quickly hardened and formed solid floors under an unknown force.

As for the current layout of the territory, Meng Zheng plans to make the core of the territory the center, with the west side being a residential area and the east side to be developed into a commercial area in the future.

As for the industrial and military areas, they are located in the north and south of the territory.

Then he grabbed eighteen mermaid light balls and threw them into the open space. The light balls shattered, and one mermaid after another grew from small to large and appeared in front of Meng Zheng in the blink of an eye.

These eighteen mermaids look very similar to Meng Zheng, with human bodies and fish tails. The females are pretty and the males are ferocious.

The mermaids look very similar, but the colors of their tails are different. Meng Zheng's tail is black. Among the eighteen mermaids, one has a silver tail, two have blue tails, and the rest have gray tails.

Looking at the mermaids in front of him, Meng Zheng was very excited: "I'm rich! I'm rich! There's actually a silver-tailed mermaid and two blue-tailed mermaids. I'm so lucky!!!"

The mermaids have a clear concept of hierarchy. The most respected is Heiwei, the royal family of the mermaids. He has extremely strong talents and bloodlines, can easily master water spells and various skills, and is born as a high-level yellow-grade creature. Every royal mermaid can rule a city or territory, and is the most powerful existence in the mermaid clan.

The second is Silvertail, a mermaid aristocrat with great talent and potential, second only to the royal family. He is born as a mid-level yellow creature, extremely intelligent, good at practicing magic, and is the elite of the mermaid clan.

Next is Bluetail, a member of the middle-class tribe of the mermaids. Born with the strength of Yellow Grade 1 or above, he is an important force in the development of the mermaid territory.

Most of the territory's construction and development positions, such as coral weavers and membrane makers, are held by Bluetail.

Finally, there are the largest mermaids, the Gray Tail Mermaids. They have no rank, and except for their physical strength being slightly stronger than humans and their mastery of certain water magic, there are not many other changes.
They mainly engage in basic work such as farmers, fishermen, and soldiers. The mermaids have bloodline restrictions, but this is not always the case. As long as they practice hard, improve their cultivation, and purify their bloodline, even a gray-tailed mermaid has the opportunity to transform into a noble silver-tailed noble.

As for the Black Tail Royal Family, it is not something that can be achieved through cultivation. Only by becoming a being above the Xuan level can there be a chance to break through the bloodline restrictions and transform into the Black Tail Royal Family.

This time, Meng Zheng was lucky enough to get 18 silver-tailed and 1 blue-tailed mermaids out of the 2 mermaids.

You have to know that in a mermaid community of 10,000 people, if it doesn't develop for more than ten or twenty years, there may not even be a silver tail, and most of the people in the tribe will still be blue tails.

Now Canghai is just a small tribe of 19 people, not even a village. There is only one black tail, one silver tail, and two blue tails. The configuration can be said to be full at once.

"It's great that the god-level talent of the Sea's Darling has taken effect so quickly!" Meng Zheng felt very happy as he looked at the 18 mermaids in front of him.

Normally, each territory will allocate a certain amount of talent to the new lord, otherwise the new lord can easily destroy the territory by himself.

In this emerging world full of dangers, everyone starts from the same point, so appropriate subsidies and training are very necessary.

Each lord has his own novice gift pack to ensure the early development stage.

However, what is given are only some junior talents who have a basic understanding of government affairs and management experience, and there will not be any powerful figures.

As a result, a silver-tailed mermaid appeared in Meng Zheng's territory on the first day.

Among the mermaids, the silver-tailed mermaid is comparable to the geniuses of the human race and is a very rare existence. According to the game, it is an epic talent.

For every silver-tailed mermaid, as long as they practice hard, it is very easy to break through to the Xuan level, and destroying a city single-handedly is not a legend.

This is really out of the ordinary, but I like it, hahahaha...

Meng Zheng is more confident about competing for dominance in the eternal world in the future.

When they reached the 18 mermaids, before Meng Zheng could say anything, the silver-tailed mermaid took the initiative to greet him: "Greetings, Chief. In response to the call of the Sea God, we are willing to serve you!"

He took a closer look at the silver-tailed mermaid in front of him. She was a beautiful woman with silver hair, blue eyes, and ears like fish fins. She was wearing a long blue tasseled dress. She was a thousand times more beautiful than any beauties Meng Zheng had ever seen in his previous life.

She was wearing a thin dress on her upper body, which covered her perfect place tightly, but the white skin that was inadvertently exposed gave people endless reverie.

The silver fish tail below the waist is slender and powerful, covered with fine and crystal silver scales, showing her figure to the fullest. The seaweed-like tail fin sways gently in the water, which looks very beautiful and powerful.

Meng Zheng had no doubt that if this tail hit his face, even a bear would be stunned for a moment.

This beautiful mermaid woman, under the sunlight, emits a bright silver light even though she is at the bottom of the lake a hundred meters below. At first glance, she looks as if bathed in a circle of light, dazzling and beautiful.

After calming himself down, Meng Zheng retracted his dazed gaze and quickly replied warmly, "Welcome. From now on, we are a family. The Canghai Tribe is your home. There is no need to be restrained."

While speaking, Meng Zheng opened the attribute panel of the silver-tailed mermaid:
