Chapter 275 Mermaid's 3 Consecutive Draws

"You all did a great job."

As the figures of the two chubby catfish-like men with bangs, thrown back into the sea, gradually disappeared, Ren Yi turned around and praised the pool from above.

On the deck...

The square pool, which was originally spacious enough for four people to bathe in, is now crammed with about twenty seafood, some of which are seriously oversized.

Green, blue, black, slender, hairy...

Various colored scales swarmed around.

The mermaids next to the troublemaker Jack were posed in a contorted "emergency exit" position, too afraid to move.

Green's slender body weaves through their limbs like noodles.

These ruthless individuals, who were usually kept in separate layers in the Crack Prison, now have to be extremely careful even when changing positions.

Fearing that it might cause a chain reaction and make a sound, they were dragged out and sliced up by the two-legged beasts standing above.

"Keep this silent mode enabled."

Don't scare away the remaining blind boxes.

Klaus wanted to immediately cover the pot of seafood to keep it out of sight, but he felt it wasn't worth the effort and materials, so he could only use the Luna titanium alloy mop, the handle of which creaked as he squeezed it.

He casually rescued the poor mop from under his grasp.

"The assembly line is quite efficient."

He pointed to the overflowing pool:

"But the containment space is limited. At this rate of capture, next time we'll either have to throw them away or hang them on the mast."

Let's rewind five hours.

The prisoners who escaped from the cracked prison gradually made their way to the sea.

After clearing away the nearby sea fog, the [Entrapment Light Pattern] was activated.

And so the scene described above unfolded—

The shimmering illusion of the luxurious giant clam... drew in prisoners who were penniless one after another.

As the target approached, Klaus's mechanical claw locked onto the clam shell;

Ivan and Nathan resolved the issue with the car owner;

Arbitrarily packaged and decomposed data for storage.

The process was comparable to a factory robotic assembly line, and later it evolved into a complete process of net casting and dismantling, where people were dismissed but the shellfish remained.

To this day, the harvest has been quite fruitful.

Nathan tossed a low-quality pearl he had just captured into his hand; the merfolk said it was their common currency.

"These fugitives were dirt poor; they had nothing but clam shells."

He complained with disdain.

He took the pearl and glanced at it in the daylight.

It's pitted and uneven in color.

What kind of poor little thing is this, born from a malnourished clam?

"Raw materials are the greatest value."

He casually tossed a small bag of pearls he had collected earlier, along with this one, to Nathan. "We have plenty of these. When we get to the black market, we can exchange these for what we need."

Nathan caught the pearl and whistled.

—This unscrupulous boss has one redeeming quality: he's ruthless when it's time to rip people off, and generous when it's time to be generous.

Ivan wiped the seawater off his face, looking at Ren Yi expectantly, his eyes clearly saying:

"I haven't had enough fun yet."

"Is that it? Those slippery guys were pretty good to hit... Should we go for a couple more rounds around the area? Maybe there are still some stragglers?"

Klaus ruthlessly shattered his fantasy.

"Try to restrain yourself."

"If the pressure in the pool exceeds the critical value and causes the organic matter to collapse, I guarantee I'll throw you in first for disinfection."

Ivan glanced at the pool that was constantly overflowing with suspicious foam, and promptly shut his mouth.

He didn't want to squeeze in with everyone else; he's so clean now...

Really!

Little Nine nimbly slipped out of the random hood and, seemingly very interested in the various colored creatures in the pool, stretched out its tentacles, gesturing and pointing above the water's surface, as if playing a game of "dots" to select the "lucky one".

The twenty or so fish in the pool held their breath at the same time, their dead fish eyes fixed on the tentacle.

He casually dragged Xiao Jiu back: "These can't be eaten."

Currently.

Little Jiu folded her hands together and obediently lay down.

"I'm not eating this stuff! It's neither sweet nor flavorful!"

Judging from the merfolk's attitude towards Xiao Jiu, the royal mounts must be quite ferocious.

Open the warehouse at will.

Among the dazzling array of items, his gaze passed over the mountain of familiar faces and scraps, finally settling on two compartments that shone with a captivating glow in his eyes.

[Warehouse: ...Mantle membrane *32, respiratory valve cheek *34.]

The reason there are two less [outer shells] is because Ivan accidentally broke the shell at the beginning, so we used mesh bags for the rest to ensure the material remained intact.

However, that's enough.

Not to mention that they also acquired over 1,300 pieces of various mutated clam meat along the way.

However, Renyi had no intention of opening a seafood wholesale market, since most seafood only had a shelf life of two days. So he simply took out the seafood that Hydra had rated as "delicious" in the reviews and handed it over to Ivan and Aurora.

"Eat as much as you can today, and string the rest up to dry."

Since the solar energy module evolved into the "Heart of the Sun," another benefit is that you no longer need to rely on favorable weather to make salted fish and dried meat.

Turn off the [Entrapment Light Pattern] at will.

The luxurious giant clam shrouded in the [Deep Sea Shadow] flickered twice and then disappeared into the wind.

These fugitives had no other assets left.

Those in the pool were relatively cooperative, while the uncooperative ones became evolution points. In Renyi's current view, these mermaids were useless except for having a few more evolution points than clams; all that could be broken down were flesh and bones.

He then brought up the evolution panel:
