Pearlite is a rare and precious gemstone for humans. Mermaids have lived in the deep sea for a long time and are closely connected with the bright continent where humans live. However, few mermaids come into contact with humans. For mermaids, they are not the heart of our species.
Of course, they are not willing to come into contact with any other race.
A nacre the size of a grain of rice is often worth tens of thousands of gold coins, which is far more valuable than other gemstones. However, this thing is so rare that no one dares to go to the deep sea of mermaids to trade with them. It can still be cherished by elves and humans.
In exchange for seeds and gorgeous clothes, humans are helpless against mermaids.
There are so many treasures in the deep sea. The mermaid's residence is full of corals and pearls everywhere. They use football-sized pearls as balls. They are not interested in human things.
There is basically no possibility of trade between humans and mermaids. Occasionally, one or two nacreous stones are discovered by people in the sea. When mermaids die, they will quietly leave the group, swim to the deep sea, and die silently.
, and the nacreous stones at the time of death either sank into the endless seabed, or were left along with the waves on the coasts of various continents.
Pearlite in Guangming Continent is basically picked up at the beach.
However, even if it is picked up...
It's just a little bit big.
Such a big lump in front of me...
The corner of Shen Yanxiao's mouth twitched slightly. Not to mention the mermaid who only sheds tears twice in her life. Even a human who cried every day would probably not be able to cry in her entire life if she wanted to collect such a large amount of tears.
The value of this nacreous stone is hard to estimate.
Shen Yanxiao put the nacre stone on his hand and padded it. It was a good thing, but its origin made her very confused.
"Human beings are really evil. Their tears are treasures." Suzaku glanced at the nacreous stone and was very disapproving. The condensation of tears is not unique to mermaids. It also happens to some unique mythical beasts, but mythical beasts are rare.
It would be even more impossible to see them, let alone to make these superior beasts shed tears.
Shen Yanxiao raised his eyebrows and slapped Suzaku on the head.
"This is called a business opportunity, you know the basket." Human beings are the weakest among the eight major races. No matter in terms of strength or system, they cannot compete with the other major races.
The elves’ innate healing ability and perception of nature, the immortality of the undead and their near-eternal lifespan, the strong physique and extreme creativity of the dwarfs, the speed and regeneration capabilities of the mermaids, the bodies of the dragons that are comparable to armor and their innate savagery.
Power, the unparalleled power of the demons, the supreme divine power of the gods...
This is beyond the reach of humans.
But there is one thing about humans that transcends all races.
That is learning.
Human beings have instinctive learning and imitation abilities from birth. They are weak, so they practice magic and fighting spirit. They are weak, so they sign life-and-death contracts with powerful monsters. They are ignorant, so they know how to gather the wisdom of everyone and accumulate it day by day.
Slowly fill in the ignorance.
Human beings can have a useful place in this world and can protect the bright continent where they live, because they have their own strength.
Believe in the gods, make friends with the elves, make friends with the dragons, stay away from the undead, do not get involved in the deep sea of mermaids, and praise the wisdom of the dwarves...
Human beings are very smart, so humans have survived.
