Free Web NovelThis layer of black ice is not only incredibly hard, but also has extremely strong regenerative capabilities.
Even if a portion of it is somehow shattered, it will re-solidify into ice in a short period.
Not even a Venerable-level pet can completely break through that layer of black ice.
So, even though human high-tech detected the existence of an underwater ruin and confirmed strong energy fluctuations within it, they have never found a way to penetrate it.
The Mystic Mirage Sea is also one of the few special areas on Blue Star that can be compared to Mystic Grounds.
It is said that the Yushou Center dispatches boats to guard the perimeter of the Mystic Mirage Sea year-round.
"Four months ago?"
Mingxi frowned.
Is this timing a bit sensitive? freeweɓnovel.cøm
If she remembered correctly, she obtained the mermaid amber and was bound by the Black Pearl's Oath Contract four months ago.
"So... this Mystic Mirage Sea isn't related to the Black Pearl, is it?"
Mingxi always felt it was related.
And it's highly possible that there are clues about the Black Pearl's mysterious bloodline in that place.
"Old man, why are you telling me all this? Do you have a way to enter the Mystic Mirage Sea?"
Zhou Yaqi nodded again.
"Almost, little friend, you've probably guessed it. I, this old man, am actually a pharmacist.
I once saved a person when I was young, and he now works at the Blue Star International Pet Center. A few days ago, he told me that the Blue Star Yushou Center is preparing to organize experts from various fields to conduct a Deep Sea Observation activity in the North Cold Ocean soon.
I, this old man, was fortunately among those invited.
Since it's an observation activity for an expert team, each expert can bring one assistant.
Oh, that sorrow painting fans was given to me by my old friend, who said it was caught at one of the observation points."
Mingxi understood.
This so-called activity is nominally deep sea observation, but considering the changes in the Mystic Mirage Sea, the true purpose of the Blue Star International Pet Center must be the Mystic Mirage Sea.
As for why it's experts from various fields and not a professional Beast Tamers exploration team, it should be related to the special environment of the deep sea and the black ice.
"Old man, you want me to participate in this observation activity as your assistant?"
Zhou Yaqi smiled: "If the little friend is interested."
"Of course I'm interested, but just an assistant's identity for a Deep Sea Observation Team expert to exchange for my 16 materials? I'd lose a fortune."
The situation in the deep sea is unknown, who knows what might happen?
And it's just an assistant.
If there's a problem with the black ice cracks, or a limit on the number of people, her identity would either be cannon fodder or she'd be excluded.
Who would she complain to then?
Her 16 materials, if not priceless, would at least be enough to buy a Mystic Ground spot without any problem.
Assistant?
She would definitely lose big.
"Plus the 10 kongming bodhi seeds I have."
Mingxi still shook her head.
Still the same thing, if she can't gather 18, the kongming bodhi seeds can only be used as marbles.
Zhou Yaqi was helpless.
This stall owner is a bit unyielding.
But he really needed her materials.
After thinking about it, he could only settle for less: "Then half, I'll use the assistant spot to exchange for 8 types of materials from you, how about that?"
"Only one of them can be SS-Grade."
Although Zhou Yaqi felt regret, he knew this was normal, so he nodded.
Mingxi added: "Plus those 10 kongming bodhi seeds."
Even if they're marbles, there are many children at home, and they love to play!
Zhou Yaqi: "..."
He felt like he was being completely fleeced.
But --
"Alright!"
The transaction was finally reached.
Zhou Yaqi carefully selected the 8 materials he needed most.
Both parties signed an agreement, stipulating that Zhou Yaqi must take Mingxi to participate in the Deep Sea Observation activity a week later. If the activity is canceled, or Zhou Yaqi withdraws from the activity for various reasons, he must return the eight materials taken from Mingxi.
Of course, Mingxi also had to return the 10 kongming bodhi seeds.
After confirming that there were no loopholes in the agreement, Mingxi picked up her pen and signed her name.
"Your name is Mingxi?"
Zhou Yaqi only then learned her name.
"This name... why does it sound familiar?"
Mingxi took off the mask on her face.
The agreement was signed, and she would be participating in the Deep Sea Observation activity as Zhou Yaqi's assistant. She couldn't possibly still wear a mask, could she?
Since she would show her face sooner or later.
Then she chose sooner!
Seeing Mingxi's tender young face clearly, both Zhou Yaqi and his grandson's eyes widened.
It wasn't that they recognized Mingxi.
Many people had heard the name Mingxi, but not many had seen Mingxi's face.
Considering Mingxi's various peculiarities, Chu Kuangsheng used his influence to erase most of the videos on the internet that directly showed Mingxi's face, leaving only those with side profiles, long shots, and backs that had little impact.
Even the Anos advertisement was re-filmed with a blurred face version.
As for the content filmed by Mingxi's single-eye camera during the college entrance exam, there was even less need to worry; it was simply impossible for it to spread.
"May I ask, how old are you, little friend?"
Zhou Yaqi was confused; he had guessed that this stall owner wasn't too old.
But the face before him was no longer a matter of age.
This was clearly still a child.
"15 years old."
She's one month shy of 15, why isn't that considered 15 years old?
Zhou Yaqi: "..."
Zhou Yaqi: "..." Ah! He's completely normal now!
"How about we re-sign this agreement, and let your adult come for the assistant spot?"
Although the assistant was just a nominal position, he wouldn't actually make her do anything, but bringing a 15-year-old child to participate in a Blue Star International Pet Center activity would definitely be questioned.
After all, the true purpose of this Deep Sea Observation activity was not tourism.
Mingxi: ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) "No need, I'm the only Beast Tamers in my family. Old Zhou, you don't need to worry about my strength being insufficient to hold you back.
Although I'm 15, I'm a B-Grade Beastmaster."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yaqi's eyes widened even more than brass bells.
His expression was extremely exaggerated.
"Wh-what? B... B-Grade??"
"How is that possible? 15 years old? B-Grade Beastmaster?!"
"Little friend, don't joke with me, old man, haha, haha."
Mingxi was helpless; she opened her terminal and displayed part of her information interface.

Zhou Yaqi stared dumbfounded at the information displayed before him, especially the five shining stars after her name.
Giao!
