In the vast ocean, there lives a group of beautiful people. They have charming faces and enchanting singing voices. They travel freely in the ocean, playing songs of the sea. They are daughters of the sea and are protected by the sea.

Deep in the sea, there is a magnificent palace where seven beautiful mermaid princesses live. The youngest of them is the most beautiful mermaid in the sea...

"Pah!" Guan Ling closed the book in his hand and watched it gradually disappear expressionlessly. He turned over slowly and tried to get up from the bed. "Pah!" Guan Ling fell headfirst to the ground.

Looking up at the fiery red fishtail still fluttering on the bed, Guan Ling's expressionless face finally slowly shed two drops of manly tears. Damn it, I shouldn't have touched that game...

Guan Ling, male, 21 years old, a senior student at the Academy of Arts, looks indifferent and shrewd, but is actually a nerd with expressionless face. He loves to study all kinds of games. This morning, he was dragged by his roommate to go to a game store and unfortunately traveled through time... the end.

What the hell does that mean? He angrily got up from the ground, Guan Ling controlled the fish tail and swam slowly towards the table opposite.

Today, I was just shopping with my roommate and I saw a game. As soon as I picked it up, a voice suddenly flashed in my mind: "Ding, congratulations on becoming the 265,894th lucky player of this game. This game will bring you a different life. Please enjoy it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guan Ling's eyes went dark and he fainted. When he woke up again, he was horrified to find that his straight legs were gone and turned into a fiery red fish tail, and his hair suddenly turned into long curly red hair.

Before he could finish being frightened, he saw a group of burly men with fish tails surrounding him, asking him questions non-stop. The leader even wanted to touch him. Guan Ling huddled up in the middle like a quail, and fainted again from excitement.

When I woke up again, I was the only one in the room, and my mind was filled with countless information.

According to the information in his mind, he retrieved the book and realized after reading it. Damn, he was in a fairy tale, the tragic mermaid. What was even more tragic was that he was the protagonist. The most tragic thing was that he was a man. He didn’t have six sisters, but only six brothers. Wow!

"Ding, dear players, some deviations between the game and the story are inevitable. This game is a physical test game. Players can check the strategy manual to complete the tasks and receive corresponding rewards. At the same time, if the task fails, the rewards will be erased and the penalty mechanism will be activated."

"Dear players, the main quest has been released. Please check it. The side quests will be released randomly. I hope you have a happy gaming life. Finally."

The mission was released immediately, and he was not ready yet. Why did that happiness sound a bit weird? No matter how intensely his heart was beating, Guan Ling still pulled out the book that was said to be a strategy manual with an expressionless face and read it carefully.

Main mission 1: Live to adulthood, try to keep your chastity (it doesn’t matter if you can’t), and save the prince who fell into the water.

The part about saving the prince is understandable, as it is part of the fixed plot of The Little Mermaid, but what does it mean about preserving his chastity? He is a man, and a mermaid at that. How could anyone want his chastity (young man, you are too pure)?

With his mouth twitching, Guan Ling put the book back and couldn't help asking, "Um, what is the punishment mechanism?"

"Ding, dear player, because the punishment mechanism is too dark and bloody, this game currently does not support providing players with punishment information. Please try your best to complete the task and avoid committing suicide."

It's so dark and bloody that it destroys my worldview. Suddenly I'm curious about how to solve it!

As a player who has played thousands of games, Guan Ling tried hard to suppress his desire to play out multiple endings, and silently mosaic  the things he imagined.

Having too much imagination is a disease and needs to be treated! Guan Ling lay on the table expressionlessly. Just as he was about to sigh about his life, he was shocked by a loud roar.

"Wang Er!!" "Brother!!"

Looking at the group of mermaid men scrambling to swim towards him, Guan Ling couldn't help but shudder. Damn, these brothers are really scary.

"Wang'er, brother, are you okay? Why did you suddenly faint?"

Looking at the worried face that came close to him, Guan Ling tried hard to twitch the corners of his mouth, wanting to reveal a reassuring smile, but failed.

"Wang'er, what's wrong with your face? Why does it keep twitching?" Seeing this, the mermaid father asked in confusion.

"It's okay, Father, I just couldn't control it!"

"Wang'er, what's wrong with you!" Hearing his words, the mermaid father was shocked and his brothers also became anxious.

What's wrong with me? I didn't do anything. I just wanted to laugh but couldn't. There's no need to be like this. Guan Ling looked at them, his mind in confusion.

"You have never called me father, you always called me daddy!" said the mermaid father sadly.

Oh my god!!! Ten thousand alpacas were whistling through Guan Ling's mind. Guan Ling looked at the sad expressions of his father and brothers, his face stiffened, and he slowly uttered a sentence: "Dad, I'm fine."

"Oh, it's good that you're okay, my son. The king of the neighboring sea is coming to visit. You should pack up quickly because there will be a grand banquet tonight." Hearing what Guan Ling said, the mermaid father nodded with relief.

"Yes, brother, you have to dress up well. You are the most beautiful prince in our sea." The brothers said with a smile.

Compared to you guys, I think I am indeed pretty, "I know, Dad, Brother."

"Okay, be good." After patting Guan Ling's head, the mermaid father and the mermaid brother left together again.

Holding his head, Guan Ling was a little stunned. Looking at the group of mermaids who left in a hurry, Guan Ling curled his lips and silently turned around and swam towards the bed. Forget it, he still wanted to sleep. He didn't know what would happen at night.
