Chapter 575: Chapter 447 Enthusiastic Little Mermaid “Tina”._2 Chapter 575: Chapter 447 Enthusiastic Little Mermaid “Tina”._2 Colin stroked his chin; he vaguely remembered that they didn’t really have any conflicts with the advanced life forms from “World Code-4.”

The conflict had arisen because they went there to retrieve items and were mistakenly thought to want to destroy the world.

So a bunch of innately evil gods had desperately tried every possible method to prevent them from launching the “Extermination Order” and destroying “World Code-4″…

But now, it was known that they were not there to destroy the world.

So, indeed, there was no conflict between them…

Although they still didn’t quite see eye to eye, they kept to their separate paths without interference.

“Looking at it this way, it seems there really won’t be any accidents, and I can start thinking about what comes after,” he said.

Colin then thought about what would happen after he returned and could confirm that…

After returning, in two days’ time, he would be able to use the third D-Level Gene Compensation Medicine…

And after that would be the advancement qualification task…

“The first is the ten-ring rapid random task, which shouldn’t be too difficult. Then comes the ‘Joyful Farmstead Seven Days Tour,'” he said.

Colin frowned slightly; it seemed he had not seen any response from “Lady Rabbit” in the letters regarding this matter…

Was this… assuming that he would be able to pass at that time, or was it too early to say anything?

Half an hour later, having not figured out anything conclusive, Colin ended his pondering. Seeing that it was late at night, he first sent a message to Qin Chuan and others, asking them to prepare some necessary items and then turned around to go back to sleep.

…

Time passed quickly, and when the next Monday noon at twelve o’clock arrived, Colin punctually heard the distant and ancient bell chimes.

Right after that, a thick fog engulfed everything in front of him…

After an inadvertent moment of haziness.

Everything started to recede again.

Colin shook his head, not yet opening his eyes, but suddenly felt an indescribable deep sea pressure.

“It seems like the pressure has gotten stronger along with my strength?” he mused.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw the interior of a hall wrapped in flames.

These flames didn’t suffocate or scorch but rather gave off an inexplicable warmth.

“Anyone here, anyone here, when is the Agent of the Bonfire coming… Ah!”

The somewhat childlike female voice mid-greeting suddenly turned into a shrill dolphin-like screech.

Just as Colin turned his head, he saw a little mermaid, no more than a ton in weight, with a stunning appearance, excitedly swooping towards him and hugging him tightly!

It had been a while since they had last seen each other; Little Tina seemed to have grown quite a bit and was noticeably larger.

“‘Bonfire’ sir, you finally came to see me!” she exclaimed.

After holding onto Colin tightly and taking a deep sniff, much like one does with a little cat, Little Tina coiled up her long serpentine lower body, stood upright, and held Colin in her arms, lifting him high like a doll.

Her eyes, clear and sparkling, stared at him as though they were glistening with light…

“Mhm, mhm, mhm…” At a loss for what to do, Colin could only smile awkwardly and nod.

The atmosphere had reached this point; he certainly couldn’t say he was there just to carry out a task, could he?

Meanwhile, on the other side, the quartet tensed up at the first sight of Tina, almost reacting instinctively, but upon seeing Brother Shunzi finally arrive, they all breathed a sigh of relief—

It seemed that this time, the mission would finally be peaceful.

“‘Bonfire’ sir, I’ve caught a lot of tasty fish and seaweed lately, I’ll take you with me to eat…” Little Tina chattered away but was cut off halfway by a majestic female voice.

“Tina!”

The figure of the Queen of the Sea Sirens appeared inside the hall. She bore a strong resemblance to Tina, equally delicate and stunning but more mature, and she was looking at her little daughter with a serious expression:

“Quickly put ‘Bonfire’ sir down, he doesn’t have time to be indulged in your antics,” she said.

“Oh, alright…”

Being one of the people Tina feared the most, the queen’s words were clearly effective; after several minutes in the air, Colin’s feet finally touched the ground again.

While wiping off the saliva that a delighted Tina had left on his cheek, Colin turned to look at the queen slithering towards him and her entourage of guards:

“Your Majesty the Queen, good afternoon…” he greeted.

“Yes, good afternoon … On behalf of Tina, I apologize for her inappropriate behavior,” the Queen of the Sea Sirens said, bowing slightly to express her apologies, while the blue crystal earrings at her ears swayed lightly, sparkling brilliantly.

“It’s no problem,” he replied.

Colin waved his hand and glanced at Tina who was by his side like a child who had done something wrong, “It’s fine, I do have a mission, but it’s not urgent, and I can take the opportunity to stroll around here. I’ve missed Tina after so many days…”

Upon hearing his words, Tina’s eyes lit up without any doubt about the truthfulness of his words, and her happy fishtail swished back and forth.

The Queen of the Sea Sirens gave a stern look to her little daughter before inviting Colin and the others to move to a more appropriate place for conversation.

Then, twisting her serpentine lower half, the Queen followed Colin and opened up, “You have come here suddenly; I presume there must be some other reasons. May I ask, is there anything that you need our help with?”

Although the “Bonfire” Agent was an outsider in a sense…

The rise of “Bonfire” had resolved the long-standing threat of their lost “humanity.” Thus, Colin’s status among the “Sea Sirens” was only higher, never lower, than their Queen.

If there was any need, they would be as helpful as possible…

“Although it’s not very urgent, but… there is something indeed…”

As Colin spoke, he retrieved the requirements of his mission from his brain.

[Event One: Before the return of this event, proceed to the Emperor Level Deepwater Battleship “Deep Sea Titan King” and participate in and complete the signing of the “Dark Deep Sea Treaty.”]

[Note: Do not make too many actions that may provoke them…]

…

‘Tsk tsk, what a domineering name for a deepwater battleship, ‘Deep Sea Titan King’…’

‘And then, the ‘Dark Deep Sea Treaty’? I wonder what sort of terms have been drafted…’

‘However, the note not to make actions that provoke them… Is it referring to those high-level containment subjects still present in ‘World Code’ 4?’

As thoughts flickered, Colin looked at the Queen and asked, “Do you know about this ‘Deep Sea Titan King’ thing?”

“Yes, it’s one of the three most powerful constructions of the Pseudo-Humans Federation, very large. I’ve heard it hosts a population in the millions…”

The Queen of the Sea Sirens said, “However, as far as we know, they did not build it themselves but discovered it within some ancient ruins…”

A battleship that could accommodate millions of people?

Colin felt that this description didn’t seem quite compatible with the word ‘battleship’, and he became curious about just how big this thing was to hold so many people.

Of course, it doesn’t take a genius to guess that such a thing is likely a creation of the “Bonfire Company.”

After giving a brief introduction of the battleship for Colin, the Queen curiously inquired, “Does ‘Bonfire’ Mister have any particular thoughts about such a thing? Are you planning to… reclaim it?”

As for what exactly “Bonfire Camp” was all about, they could only speculate.

And they knew that these people were probably the masters of those ancient ruins.

Just like the race’s sanctuary of the Sea Sirens, which is the Underwater Floating Island where they are currently residing, in all likelihood, it was constructed by them, not the Sea Sirens themselves—

Otherwise, the Queen of the Sea Sirens would be baffled thinking about why, with their body structure, they’d bother with so many stepped terraces. Climbing them always hurts the tail…

Wouldn’t filling passages with water for swimming be far more convenient than these terraces?

“No, once things are in their hands, they are theirs. I just need to handle some affairs there,” Colin responded without concealing anything, simply mentioning the task he had to perform.

“Then, can you take me with you?” Before the Queen could speak, Tina on the side blurted out eagerly, her face full of anticipation.

“If the Queen doesn’t mind, there shouldn’t be a problem,” Colin replied, kicking the decision back to Tina’s mother.

The Queen didn’t object, and after reminding her daughter to follow the rules and not to cause trouble, she agreed to the request.

Just as she was about to have someone prepare deepwater vessels to lead them to the battleship, she saw one of the Sea Sirens’ subordinates hurriedly wriggling her snake tail over.

The subordinate seemed to want to say something, but noticing Colin and others, she swallowed her words back.

“Speak up, ‘Bonfire’ Mister is not an outsider…”

Upon hearing the name “Bonfire” Mister, the Sea Siren’s eyes widened in surprise as she took another look at Colin.

Although she had heard numerous stories about how “Bonfire” Mister saved their race, this was her first time seeing him up close…

However, she did not dwell on it and said:

“…We just received a message; the ‘Deep Sea Titan King’ battleship of the Pseudo-Humans Federation is approaching, and they have requested permission to enter within a hundred sea miles of the sanctuary…”
