The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

Chapter 17

This creature had long been known throughout the world.

The mermaid, a creature that often appeared in fairy tales, was considered a fantasy creature on Earth.

However, it was clear that they existed in this world, as one was lying on the beach in front of Ji Chen.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and signaled for the Murlocs to come closer.

The ‘mermaid’ lying on the beach had a stunning light blue caudal fin that was wide and beautifully curved.

It was divided into two parts from the middle and curled along a graceful arc. The fish’s body was covered in tiny, shimmering scales that sparkled in the sunlight, reflecting a spectrum of colors.

It was a beautiful and powerful creature, neither strange nor fragile. Ji Chen’s gaze then shifted upwards to the upper part of the creature’s body.

Unlike what was depicted in fairy tales, the upper body wasn’t covered in shells or starfish. Instead, a blue, tight-fitting material tightly wrapped around the creature’s body, covering most of it.

The fair skin exposed from her collarbone extended all the way to her stunning face, which was slightly furrowed as if she was unconscious.

Her fin-like blue ears were slightly open, and her silver hair was scattered on the beach and washed by the tide.

The fishing hook happened to hook the mermaid’s tail, and he had dragged her to shore against her will, making her hair a little messy.

As a result, the ‘mermaid’ was now facing the sea, with her head towards the water and her tail towards the land. There were deep marks left on the beach from the pulling, which looked very unsightly.

But none of this mattered.

Ji Chen’s eyes narrowed as he checked her stats.

[Alice (Hero)]

[Race: Siren]

[Level: 4]

[Current Tier: Blue (Excellent)]

[Potential: Red (Legacy)]

[Skill: Song of Temptation (Blue skill, can use beautiful and seductive singing to confuse the enemy, causing them to fall into a state of absent-mindedness and hallucination)]

Song of War (Blue skill, can use singing to encourage allies, increasing attack speed and movement speed by 30%, greatly reducing pain)

Ocean Aristocrat (Green Skill, Siren is a magical noble of the ocean. When in the ocean, she will receive a certain bonus, increasing mana recovery speed and stamina recovery speed by 30%)

[Military characteristic: Siren bloodline (has a certain suppression effect on all sea races with inferior bloodlines, the effect depends on the race)]

[This is an immature Siren.]

[Do you want to hear me sing?]

The sound of his gasp could be heard.

He couldn’t believe it.

The mermaid was a hero!

And not just any hero, she was of blue excellent grade!

There were three grades – white normal grade, green elite grade, and blue excellent grade.

Ji Chen was familiar with the latter and knew that it represented the highest potential a hero could reach.

But what about the red inherited tier?

Could it be an even rarer and more powerful tier?

Upon examining her skills, he found that she had two blue skills and one green skill.

It was clear that she was a formidable magical support hero.

He noticed the stark contrast between the Murloc’s cowardice and the Siren’s evident strength.

When he turned to look at the surrounding Murlocs, he saw that they were trembling with fear and unease despite the Siren being unconscious.

He realized that the Siren’s bloodline was still overpowering even in its weakened state, and a thought began to form in his mind.

“I must get her!”

While he wasn’t sure how he caught such a ‘big fish’ in the coastal waters, he recognized that this was a chance he couldn’t pass up.

But how should he subdue her?

At this moment, the Siren’s unconscious face showed a slight relaxation of her furrowed brows, and her tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, as if she were about to wake up.

Seeing this, Ji Chen immediately became anxious.

Once she woke up, she would probably leave immediately or even attack them.

He was too anxious to even think about subduing her without causing any harm.

It was possible that he might even see blood. But then an idea flashed in his mind, and his eyes lit up.

He quickly pulled out a bottle of liquid from his backpack.

[Cupid’s Potion]

[Level: Special]

[Effect: Can forcefully increase the favorability of an intelligent creature to 100 points.]

This item could come in handy!

The Siren’s eyelids started to tremble more frequently.

Ji Chen couldn’t care less and immediately leaned over.

He pulled out the cork, lifted the Siren’s head, and poured it into her mouth.

At this moment, she finally opened her eyes slowly.

When the pitiful little Siren opened her eyes, she was forced to drink some strange liquid.

Her sapphire-like eyes were wide open, filled with panic and confusion.

Before she could struggle.

“Ahem Ahem…”

Alice wiped the liquid from the corner of her mouth and looked at the human in front of her angrily.

“Ahem… What is this human doing? I should punish him properly… Huh? Why do I feel like he’s so close to me, like he’s something important?”

Gradually, the anger in Alice’s eyes subsided, and she was at a loss.

After Ji Chen fed Siren the potion, he immediately retreated a few meters and carefully observed her reaction.

If anything went wrong, they would immediately run away with the Murlocs.

However, as he looked into Siren’s eyes, the anger he saw slowly transformed into doubt, then confusion, intimacy, and finally nostalgia.

He got it right!

“Ding ~ Cupid’s Potion has been successfully used. Alice (Hero)’s favorability towards you has increased to 100.”

Glancing at the system notification that had arrived late, Ji Chen slowly approached it.

There was a gentle look on his face.

“Hello, my name is Ji Chen, the lord of this place. Welcome.”

“Beautiful lady, may I ask for your name?”

Alice looked flustered and at a loss. Her face was flushed, as if she was an ordinary human girl in love.

“I … My name is Alice. Nice to meet you, Lord.”

Ji Chen felt even more confident when he saw this.

He immediately made up his mind and went straight to the point.

“What a nice name…As you have heard, I am a lord.” As he spoke, he looked troubled. “But the territory has just started and lacks heroes who can help me lead the army.”

“So, Alice, can you stay and help me?”

The straightforward statement would have been a bold move under normal circumstances.

But with Alice’s favorability raised to the maximum, their relationship had shifted beyond the realm of logic.

So when Ji Chen’s words reached her ears, they automatically transformed into something else entirely.

“He wants me to stay. I’m in his heart!”

Without a second thought, Alice’s face lit up with joy as she readily agreed, “I’m willing to stay.”

“That’s wonderful!”

‘Ding! Siren: Alice (Hero) has pledged allegiance to you.’

[Detected that you have a hero. Military talent tree (hero) activated.]

Ji Chen’s heart trembled.

Could he upgrade heroes through the military talent tree?

As soon as this thought appeared, he shook his head and asked himself.

Why not?

At the end of the day, heroes were essentially soldiers. It was just that they were more special and powerful existences.

But in the end, it was still a military type.

He calmed down and looked at Alice’s tail. A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

“But Alice, your tail…”

“My lord, don’t worry. Sirens have the ability to transform into human legs,” Alice said with a gentle smile.

With a wave of her small hand, her beautiful tail blurred and turned into a pair of long legs that were as straight as ivory.

The thick fluorescent film, which was like a tight-fitting suit, automatically extended to his thighs.

“Then we can move on the ground. But Alice, can you stay on land for a long time?”

“Although it’s a little uncomfortable on land, for Sirens, there’s not much difference between moving in the ocean and on land as long as there’s water nearby. ”

Ji Chen nodded. There were no more questions.

Although Alice’s tail had turned into legs, she still looked a little uncomfortable.

She could only be supported by him and brought back to the territory.
