Chu Yao suddenly felt like a duck whose throat was pinched, blurting out "Qua?"

She stood there without moving. She checked herself first and found that she had returned to her previous appearance. She had no fish tail or scales, and her voice had not changed.

"You mean, I'll fall into a coma when I reach the abyss, and then you'll keep guarding me?"

007: [Yes, you fainted inexplicably when you got here. In order to protect you, I added a protective cover to you. It has been three hours now. Host, the protective cover plus the waterproof cover consumes more

gained a lot of energy.]

[You need to quickly recover and collect the blue crystal. I have already tested it before, and the blue crystal is not far ahead.]

"Wait a minute," Chu Yao still couldn't believe it, "I feel that those memories are very real. I turned into a mermaid and ate fruits in the mermaid world, played with fish schools, enjoyed a lot of beautiful scenery, and met two people.

A bad mermaid, they tricked me into a place and said they wanted to eat my heart."

"The male mermaid also said that he wanted to take a bath with my blood and said that my blood has a fragrance. Are these all just a dream of mine?"

007: [How is it possible? Host, I have always been guarding you. When you reached the abyss, you fainted. You stayed in my protective shield and never went anywhere else. 】

[And didn’t I say it before? Host, you are living in a disaster world. There are no gods, demons, monsters, and naturally no mermaids in this world. 】

[You must have watched too many fairy tales and movies in the previous world, and your imagination is too rich, so you have such a strange dream. Host, don’t fall too deep into the dream. 】

"Really? Is that so? I fell too deeply into the dream and mistakenly took it for reality?"

Chu Yao asked back.

[Yes, that’s it. You see, you only have the fish tail in your dreams, but now you wake up, don’t you think it’s gone? 】

007 Plausible.

Chu Yao touched her legs and then her face. Feeling the reality, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said:

"It seems like it was really a dream. No wonder I couldn't contact you in my dream."

"Okay, I'm fine now. Take off the protective shield and let's collect the blue crystal."

[Okay! Collect the blue crystal! Collect the blue crystal! Let’s collect the blue crystal together! 】

Chu Yao shook her head helplessly, feeling that 007 seemed to be in a different state when she woke up this time, even more excited than before?

Maybe, it's because there are too many blue crystals here?

There are indeed too many blue crystals here.

At a glance, they are all blue irregular crystals. Some are like strange rocks, some are like stars, and some are different. They are densely packed and filled here. They are boundless. Just like 007 described, this is a vast area.

Blue crystal sea!

Chu Yao was stunned for a long time before she found her voice, "007, do we think we've made it?"

007's voice sounded much more excited than hers, [Say it! Host, come over quickly, we have collected all this!]

Chu Yao walked over and asked, "Have you detected any dangerous animals or plants here?"

[No, host, don’t worry, there is no danger here, it’s very safe!]

007 replied loudly, while not forgetting to urge Chu Yao to swim over quickly.

Chu Yao sped up and put her hand on a blue crystal. The blue crystal disappeared in the next second.

Immediately afterwards, several pieces adjacent to it disappeared.

Chu Yao quickly touched the other ones. The function of 007 is not perfect yet, and it cannot absorb blue crystals beyond a certain distance.

Now we have to rely on her to act as a "human power socket" to connect 007 and Azurite.

After working like this and that for a long time, Chu Yao was so tired that she gasped and asked 007:

"How much energy has it absorbed now? Is it enough to upgrade? Why don't you upgrade it first and improve its functions so that we can absorb all these blue crystals as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too slow for me to do it."

[That's enough, host, wait for me, I'll level up first. 】

007 ignored Chu Yao after saying this.

Even though the waterproof cover was still there, Chu Yao relaxed herself and lay lightly in the middle of the water, as soft as if she was lying in a ball of cotton.

The water was swaying, and Chu Yao felt like a baby lying in a crib, being rocked and rocked by adults to coax her to sleep.

Chu Yao's memory of her childhood was gone, but now she was able to relive it.

Unknowingly, Chu Yao became drowsy. Somehow, she had just fallen asleep. According to 007, she slept for three hours. Why was she still so sleepy now?

Is it because I didn't get enough sleep before?

It must be.

Unfortunately, she couldn't completely relax underwater. Chu Yao stretched her limbs and began to practice swimming. She had to practice a few more swimming strokes.

After a while, good news came from 007: [Host, I have upgraded, and now I can collect blue crystals from any distance. And I also helped the host recharge 1,000 energy points in the mall. Now the host has points to buy things.

.]

"Great, thank you 007."

Chu Yao was very happy. If 007 had a physical form outside, she would have wanted to take a photo of it to celebrate.

"Then you should collect all those blue crystals now, and then we are going to go back. I wonder what happened to the little ones after being away for so long."

Chu Yao quickly asked 007 to quickly collect the blue crystal.

After collecting all 007, tell Chu Yao that the current total energy value is 30,000, which is a small step closer to the total goal.

The reason why it is said to be a small step is because the overall goal is three million energy points. Compared with this, thirty thousand is indeed not enough.

Chu Yao couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "007, are your three million energy points too exaggerated? Isn't it possible that I won't be able to collect them all in this life?"

007 is also a little panicked, but it cannot make Chu Yao lose confidence. What if the host is hit too hard and is destroyed directly?

So it decided to say something nice to encourage her.

[Host, don’t be discouraged. The blue crystals in this world are really very abundant. As long as we work hard, we will definitely be able to collect them. 】

Chu Yao: "How hard do you have to work? Three million, if you collect them all, I'm afraid I will die from exhaustion!"

[Host, you can let others collect it when the time comes. I am a survival system. You can use the materials in the mall to hire others to collect blue crystals for you.]

[There are many supplies in my mall that can be used for survival. You can't use them all by yourself. If you use some of them, you can help others and get blue crystals. Isn't this what you humans call "killing two birds with one stone"?

?]

007’s words reminded Chu Yao.

Chu Yao clapped her hands together and made a "pop" sound. Her eyes were bright and she smiled: "Yes! It's different now. There is a mall here. As long as there is blue crystal, will there be a shortage of supplies?"
