Chapter 1: Three starts without the little mermaid
R Star Territory, Thirteenth Planet, Area C Charity House.
The atmosphere today is very different from usual.
All the children gathered together to watch the live broadcast on the light screen for cubs in the entire star field.
Mili was leaning on the edge of the pool, his short and fat little tail slapping the wall of the pool from time to time, and he was also watching the live broadcast.
There is a heavy expression on the round and round face that does not match his age.
She woke up ten days ago.
Then I discovered that I had transformed from an Eastern mermaid into an interstellar mermaid.
He’s still a cub that can’t do anything well.
The little mermaid was only half a year old when she was sent as an orphan, and it has been almost four years now.
It turns out that the mermaid orphan didn't know what happened to him. He was born with stunted growth and couldn't speak.
It was not until ten days ago, after Mili woke up in this body, that the little mermaid made a sound for the first time.
The conditions in the charity home are not good. They can only provide food, clothing and basic education.
Once you reach adulthood, you must leave and support yourself.
Thinking back to her past, as an Eastern shark, one of the overlords of the sea, she slept on a pearl bed and covered herself with a shark gauze quilt. She was born with the ability to control the waves and command sea beasts.
But now, all the charity home can provide her is a small pool of less than five square meters.
She has observed it for the past ten days.
It’s not that the orphanage mistreats them, it’s because they really don’t have the money.
Their charity home is a little different from other charity homes.
As long as they have talent, the teachers in the hospital will pay extra tuition for them. They just hope that the children who leave this charity home can live a better life.
This part of the extra expenditure is earned by teachers using part-time work during their breaks.
"Mi Li, what are you thinking about? Do you want to go to the live broadcast?"
A little fat pig rests its forelimbs on the pool wall, its silly head tilted, and its large European-style double eyelids that would make a group of women jealous.
"Zhu Zhu, I want to sign up."
Mili raised her round little chin.
"It says that if you are selected, you will get a notification fee of 10,000 yuan. If you can enter the top 100 out of 10,000 contestants, you will get a bonus of 100,000 yuan."
Mili still spoke a little restrained.
Her goal is to break into the top ten!
Of course, this goal can only make people laugh when told about it. After all, the doctors in the hospital have determined that she has no talent.
There are no less than one billion cubs in the entire star field who are eligible to sign up.
Each cub who is willing to participate, either himself or his family, submits an application in the backend of Star Network, which is then reviewed by a specialized agency, and finally the qualifications for participation are issued in the backend.
It takes half a month to register and confirm your qualifications.
Mili was selected as a rare mermaid cub.
When she went to participate in the program, the entire charity home was praying for her.
The live broadcast location is on an uninhabited star next to Planet Nine.
Ten thousand cubs are released on the planet and live for 180 days before an airship comes to take them home.
Of course, there is also a chance to leave in the middle.
However, if you leave midway, you will be judged to have failed the challenge.
As a mermaid cub, the show crew would not shamelessly release Mili into the desert.
But the conditions where she fell were pretty bad.
A small lake with level 3 water pollution, lack of food and lack of drinking water.
After Mili fell in, he felt that his tail seemed to be wrapped in something sticky, and it was difficult to even swing it.
When Mili frowned, trying to find a way out of the predicament.
Several viewers entered her personal live broadcast room.
These viewers are all girls who like cute little cubs. When they saw the chubby little mermaid on the cover of her live broadcast room, they came in immediately.
When they came in and saw this scene, they felt very distressed.
[What is this show crew doing? Mermaid babies are very fragile, why would they throw them into such waters?]
[Poor child, her tail is wrapped in pollutants. If she doesn't find a way to escape, she will sink.]
Maybe it was a bad start, but these girls who originally planned to take one look and leave stayed behind and kept sending barrages.
Mili only has a wearable live broadcast lens on her body, and there is also a live broadcast aircraft surrounding her.
She couldn't see the comments from the audience in the live broadcast room, so naturally she didn't know anyone was worried about her.
Mili worked hard and found that the water in this lake was not clean. Unless she went ashore, she would not be able to get rid of the package of pollutants.
Instead of continuing to clean the pollutants on her body, she decided to find a place to get some clean water first, and then find a way to clean her body.
After swimming half a circle along the lake, she saw a deep pit not far from the water.
The size and depth of the pit are almost the same as the pool at the charity home.
"It's right here, wait, it'll be ready soon."
While she was talking, she patted her fat fish tail.
The tip of the tail was raised with great effort, and a stream of water rose from the lake, and then poured into the deep pit.
After almost eight points, Mili stepped back, used his little chubby paws to cheer himself up, and then swung his fish tail vigorously, and the classic move of a carp leaping over the dragon's gate appeared in the eyes of the interstellar audience.
With a "pop", she successfully fell into the pit.
[What is this little guy doing? Isn’t it all dirty water? Is the lake too big?]
[How old is the little guy, and he is already able to use his natural abilities? Which big family does he come from?]
[Don’t laugh, it’s too late for the mermaid cubs in the big family to be pampered, how can they be allowed to come out for live broadcast.]
[The information upstairs is not very good. This time the program team has planted a bomb. I heard that they persuaded several families and sent all the naughty children from the families to live broadcast. They said they were going to stage an interstellar cub.
Metamorphosis?]
The audience was buzzing with comments, but after a while, the bored viewers exited Mili's live broadcast room one after another.
Only the first few girls remain.
Mili pondered for a while in the deep pit, holding his hands in front of his chest and mumbling something.
After a while, an apple-sized ball of light appeared between her hands.
She carefully put the ball of light into the sewage in the pit.
Ten minutes later, as the dark ball of light left the water, the sewage in the pit became clear enough.
This "purification" move is one of the few mermaid skills that Mili found on the Star Network.
The reason why she was able to use her skills in the live broadcast room was because after she successfully registered, the program team provided a detailed physical examination in accordance with the agreement and found that her natural abilities had been stimulated, but she had not been able to show them because no one taught her.
Because of this, the dean had a small quarrel with the doctors in the hospital.
Only Mili knew that the original little mermaid indeed had no talent.
Now that the inner flesh has changed, the powerful mermaid soul has its own attributes, and it is easy to activate talents.
But she couldn't tell others about this, and she even had to find skills on the Star Network to cover up her abilities.
After purifying the water in this pit, Mili's little body could no longer hold on and sank softly into the water.
