An Jin recalled the doctor's previous attitude and his act of feeding him. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that his guess might be true.2

He really might have become a pet!

An Jin felt dumbfounded. What.... what should he do?

After a while, he calmed down again. Maybe he might have misunderstood.

He clenched his fist to cheer himself up silently. As a result, he had just bent his fingers when his palm was almost pierced by the sharp nail tips. 

An Jin: "..." 

The courage that he had just gathered disappeared just like this.

He relaxed his fingers silently. Then he crossed his 10 fingers tightly against each other and made a fist with both hands.

It's okay, he must comfort himself. No matter what his identity is here, he will definitely live on.

"Di——" He was comforting himself when a clear electronic sound came from the right. An Jin returned to his senses and looked over.

Two men walked in from the sliding door. One of them was in a white coat and the other had worn a black suit.

An Jin was seriously considering escaping this place because the man in the white coat was walking forward with a look of anger. The man with the black suit followed behind sweating on his forehead anxiously.

"Professor Jin, I promise that the mermaid is fine. It's really fine."

Professor Jin said with anger: "You actually wanted to hide it! The topic of the attack on Xingchen Auction House has already become a hot topic on Star Net(a global platform of communication)."

He emphasized his tone: "I shouldn't have agreed with your Auction house to undertake this month's mermaid auction. If anything will happen to the mermaid..."

His words were interrupted when his eyes met An Jin's eyes. He suddenly became dumbfounded.

An Jin blinked his eyes and looked dully: Are they arguing?

Seeing this, the man in a suit quietly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, the mermaid woke up. He had almost died of anxiety.

The important thing here is that this mermaid is the only advanced-level mermaid in the past 100 years!

The mermaids are divided into three levels according to the color of their hair, eyes, and tail. If the color of all these three body parts is different then that mermaid belongs to the lower level. If the color of two of the body parts is the same then that mermaid belongs to the intermediate level and if the color of all three parts is the same, then that mermaid belongs to the advanced level.

The higher the level of a mermaid, the better the effect of its singing on mental riots.

The number of mermaids cultivated by the research institute is not many. They have even fewer intermediate-level mermaids.

When the mermaid reaches adulthood, it will be auctioned and raised by the buyer.

As long as there is an intermediate-level adult mermaid in the research institute, the mermaid auction that month will inevitably attract widespread attention.

This month is even more unusual. There is not only an intermediate-level adult mermaid but also an advanced-level mermaid—a solid-color adult mermaid(mermaid that has the same color all over).

From the time this little mermaid was born, one can't imagine how many people began to count the days waiting for him to reach adulthood.

It took a lot of effort for Xingchen Auction House to get the opportunity to undertake this auction from the fierce competition.

Unexpectedly, the research institute had just sent the mermaid to the auction house at noon and in the afternoon, the auction house was attacked. The mermaid was accidentally injured and it became unconscious.

Fortunately, it woke up!

So Professor Jin of the research institute came to check the situation of the mermaid. The doctor quickly said: "Professor Jin, the mermaid is okay."

As he said, he opened the test results and showed them to Professor Jin.

Professor Jin looked at it carefully. His expression relaxed a little, but his tone was heavy.

He looked at the man in the suit: "Boss Bernie, the research institute sent the mermaid here at noon and it was attacked in the afternoon. Your secrecy work is really disappointing."

Bernie's face was not good: "Before the propaganda work, we always paid attention to our secrecy. I admit that this time I was careless to let them attack us but I don't dare to bear the responsibility of leaking the information. "

"What do you mean?" Professor Jin curled his eyebrows and asked angrily, "You mean someone leaked the news from the research institute?"

Bernie did not directly answer his words but said: "Not only your Scientific Research Institute and Xingchen Auction house but all the auction houses that participated in the bidding of the Scientific Research Institute, knew that the mermaid was being sent to the Xingchen auction house today."

Professor Jin was dissatisfied: "This situation has never happened before."

Bernie was also very helpless. But thinking about it, there had been no solid color mermaid before either!

Someone dared to take risks and leak the news, isn't it just for the huge benefits represented by the pure-color mermaid?

He couldn't help defending the company's security team: "If this auction was not being held in Xing Chen, the other party might have succeeded in kidnapping the mermaid."

Professor Jin snorted: "When you evaluate the bid qualification next month, you can see if the appraiser will believe your words! Humph!!!"

Bernie shrugged his shoulders. His expression was a little helpless but he didn't care too much in his heart.

His goal has always been a pure-color mermaid. After holding this month's mermaid auction, it doesn't matter if he no longer undertakes the auction of the research institute.

Anyway, the only pure-color mermaid that is being auctioned after nearly a hundred years is enough to make the Xingchen auction house famous.

Professor Jin stopped arguing with Bernie. He found that the little mermaid was quiet. He couldn't help but worry.

He squatted in front of An Jin: "Why is it so quiet? Is it feeling uncomfortable? Is it hurt?"

Seeing him approaching, An Jin swung his tail and moved it back, widening the distance.

He looked at Professor Jin, the middle-aged man who was looking at him. Professor Jin's expression was obviously caring and anxious.

He blinked puzzledly not understanding why Professor Jin reacted like this.

Suddenly, his heart tensed. Could it be that the original mermaid knew Professor Jin?

His retreating behavior might have been abnormal. So it made Professor Jin worried?

He thought for a while then tentatively moved forward. He grabbed Professor Jin's sleeve and looked up at him. He then smiled at him.

The next moment, Professor Jin seemed to have been struck by lightning. He was stunned and then his eyes reddened.

An Jin: "......"

He quickly retracted his hand and looked at Professor Jin at a loss.

Professor Jin seemed to be about the age of his father's generation. But suddenly his eyes were red, which really made him wonder what to do.

Did he do something wrong?

An Jin deeply felt that language barriers were too troublesome.

He must strive to learn the language of humans of this world!

Professor Jin returned to his senses after a while. His tone was excited: "Did you see that? He just smi........... smiled at me!"

He is definitely the happiest Soo star's inhabitant!

The doctor looked at the excited Professor Jin. He restrained his emotions with difficulty and smiled at him back.

He was actually a little worried. The little mermaid after waking up seemed a bit wrong.

It was too well behaved and too quiet.

Professor Jin quickly stabilized his emotions. He also felt that the little mermaid should not have been so quiet, so he personally checked the little mermaid.

The little mermaid's body data showed that he is very healthy but..................

Professor Jin said angrily: "His back of the head was actually injured! You dare not to report it!"

Bernie smiled embarrassedly: "It was just a knock. There has been no harm to the skin. It will be fine in two days."

Professor Jin glared at him, dissatisfied with his attitude: "Can't you see he is not reacting fiercely?"

Bernie felt that the mermaid was perfect like this. The other intermediate-level mermaid had beaten him so hard that his head has become so big now.

Of course, he also knew that he couldn't say this to Professor Jin, so he went to the doctor.

The doctor understood and said to Professor Jin: "He's so quiet now. It might be because he is a little uncomfortable. Although the congestion in the back of his brain is removed with a therapeutic device, the wound will still be painful."

He said in a warm voice: "You have seen the results of the examination. He is in good health, so you don't need to worry too much."

Professor Jin was about to say something when his and Bernie's bracelet rang at the same time.

The two read the news separately. Soon, Professor Jin frowned, unable to hide his anger.

"How can this be done! How can it be auctioned tonight? Why are they being so anxious? We should first send the mermaid back to the research institute and wait for his body to fully recover before auctioning."

When Bernie heard him say that, he knew that they had received the same message. He thought for a moment: "I think the dean has considered it right."

"The news of the mermaid being in the Xingchen is already known to the whole Internet. The pure-color mermaid is too attractive and the longer it stays, the more dangerous it is. Not to mention the smugglers hiding in the gutter in Soo Star, I am afraid that many thieves will be attracted."

Professor Jin was silent for a while. He then contacted the dean and soon hung up the communication. He said to Bernie: "I will keep watching the process from now on. In case the mermaid will suffer another accident..."

Bernie was unmoved: "OHHO Please please continue to look after us, Professor Jin."

Bernie turned on the AI device, adjusted it to the camera mode, and said to the rest of the people: "You guys stand back a bit. I will take a promotional photo for him."

The two backed up, making sure not to block the little mermaid.

Bernie used his AI device facing the little mermaid and it was over soon.

He then checked the time and said to the doctor: "Let him eat something and send him to the exhibition room at a quarter past five. I will take a picture of the other one."

The doctor nodded and glanced at Bernie's ......: "Are these pictures enough?"

Bernie raised his eyebrows: "It's enough to see that it's a solid-color mermaid, not to mention that I took a very good shot."

The doctor glanced at the little mermaid who was going to be auctioned off tonight. He was very reluctant to let him go.

But thinking about his savings, he sighed silently.

If he was not a doctor, it would have been difficult for him to see the little mermaid even once, so he should be satisfied.

One minute later, all the Soo star inhabitants who passed the qualification certification of the scientific research institute-that is, no bad record, assets of one billion yuan, which is the starting price of the solid-color mermaid, all received Anjin's photos.

There was only one photo but it was enough to make people love him at a glance.

The little mermaid was floating in the water. His beautiful blue hair was falling on his shoulders which made his skin look fairer.

The little mermaid's aqua-blue eyes looked very gentle, with a quiet breath. People who see the photos can't help but feel the same: He is very well-behaved.

These people know each auction house very well. Even the most grumpy mermaid is lovable in their promotional pictures.

Seeing the picture of the blue mermaid, they still couldn't help but think:

This one is different, this one is absolutely best!

There were also people who didn't care whether the mermaid was good or not, they only came to see the pure-color mermaid.

After all, the higher the level of a mermaid, the better the effect of its singing on mental riots.

Anyway, the mermaid can sing when it is happy. It is a good pet for pampering. It won't fight back with you and it can always make you happy!

....................................

In the military airport, the Royal Patrol returned smoothly.

Norman returned to the palace. He gave himself a soothing injection and the mental riot ceased for a while.

He was pressing his forehead in silence when the communication device rang suddenly.

He connected and his personal doctor Hornard's excited voice came over: "Your Majesty, you are finally back! The solid-color mermaid auction is ahead of schedule. You almost missed it."

Norman's expression remained unchanged: "Mr. Hornard, I thought you were used to disappointment."

"It's different this time!" Hornard said, "I have seen the promotional picture. This time the mermaid is definitely capable and it will definitely heal your mental riots."

Norman refused to comment on baseless words and asked: "When is the exhibition?"

The state of his spiritual sea is too bad. The mental riots exist almost all the time.

He must buy a mermaid.

Hornard: "At five-thirty, at the Xingchen Auction House," He also reminded him, "Don't forget to change your identity."+

Norman remembered some unpleasant memories and felt hopeless about this auction.

But he had to go, he couldn't miss any hope.
