Had it not been for his own experience, Hao Ren would never have imagined that a glorious starship captain started out by memorizing instructions from a textbook — not even in novels or movies!
However, the MDT was not lying about one thing. The textbook had been adjusted according to his understanding and worldview. His physical transformation had also strengthened his brain. The textbook might seem like a heavenly book to him, but after memorizing the basic parts, he found that he could understand a little bit of the content in the later parts.
He did not need to know how the core of the starship worked (not many people in the universe could understand the advanced stuff of the Empire). He only needed to know what commands to input in the event of a situation, and at most, understand the meaning behind these commands so that he could adapt to the situation in the future. This was the necessary knowledge for a starship captain, and it was enough to deal with most situations.
Anyway, if the ship broke down, the autonomous robots in it could fix it.
Hao Ren held the MDT in his hands and started studying it until ten o 'clock. During this time, the little mermaid Lil Pea stayed by his side. The pot filled with water was now the little mermaid's personal equipment. It was placed on the coffee table. The little mermaid would jump into the pot and swim a couple of times. Then, she would jump out, pull Hao Ren's clothes, and climb onto his stomach to rest. Occasionally, she would murmur something that no one could understand. She looked happy and content.
"I think … the biggest problem with keeping a mermaid is that she has to change her clothes frequently." Hao Ren finally could not stand the mind-boggling information anymore. He put the MDT aside and put Lil Pea back into the pot. His shirt was wet from the little mermaid's running around. Even the sofa was not spared. "Vivian, what are you busy with?"
The vampire maiden had been busy with a needle and a piece of cloth not far away. Hao Ren curiously peeked at her and found that she was holding a very exquisite pocket-sized dress. "You're not preparing clothes for the little mermaid, are you?"
"What do you think?" Vivian bit off the thread and gave Hao Ren a sideways glance. "You can't keep wrapping raw material around Lil Pea's neck, can you? Nangong Wuyue asked me to make some clothes for the little mermaid before she left. Do you think this will do? "
All of the vampire's talents were focused on living at home!
Hao Ren took the light pink mini vest and found that the size was just right. The workmanship was as exquisite as a work of art. Not only did Vivian specially choose a fabric that would not shrink after absorbing water, but she also embroidered two little fish on the back with almost insane skill. It was really hard to believe how she practiced. Lil Pea watched curiously as Hao Ren put the strange thing on her body. She clumsily cooperated with her equally clumsy 'daddy' and it took them a long time to put on the clothes. Lil Pea was a little uncomfortable as it was her first time wearing real clothes. She twisted her body awkwardly and her tail slapped on the coffee table. But after a while, she became happy as if it was fun to wear such a thing. The little mermaid treated it as a game.
The little mermaid ran around the coffee table in her new clothes and finally jumped back into the pot to take a nap. Vivian was satisfied that her work was accepted by the little mermaid. She was suddenly motivated. "I'll get her two more vests and a tube top later. She'll take off that ridiculous raw material belt. It looks like a bandage …"
Just as Hao Ren and Vivian were figuring out how to take care of the baby mermaid, they suddenly heard the sound of a key opening the door. Lily was back much earlier than usual this time.
Vivian looked at Lily in surprise. "You're back so early today? You haven't cooked yet. "
In everyone's impression, Lily's activities were linked to mealtime. They had never seen her come back so early before.
Lily did not answer Vivian's question. She had an uncharacteristic serious expression on her face. After entering the door, she carefully looked at the street outside and then carefully locked the door. Only then did she quickly walk up to Hao Ren and Vivian. "Something's wrong."
Vivian and Hao Ren looked at each other. Hao Ren instinctively grabbed his MDT (she had no idea how the conditioned reflex was formed). "You bit someone, and now they're here?"
Vivian kicked Hao Ren under the coffee table. "I know you're talking nonsense, but I like it."
"It's this." Lily also rolled her eyes at Hao Ren. She then took out a small piece of paper from her bag. "I think it looks familiar."
It was a cardboard card the size of a poker card. It was yellowish in color and exuded an inexplicable aroma. There were some complicated lines drawn with red paint on the cardboard card — Letta runes!
Hao Ren was a little allergic to these mysterious and treacherous lines. Whenever he saw these things, he would most likely encounter bad luck! Vivian's brows knitted together. "This is a demon hunter's rune card. Where did you find it?"
"In the streets nearby. Some are stuck in the cracks of bricks, some are stuck on the electric poles. They're all hidden in places that are hard to detect. I found a lot of them." Lily poured out a large pile of paper from her small bag. "Am I really going to be stewed by the humans this time?"
"Don't overthink it." Hao Ren was shocked to see so many rune cards in front of him. But he was much calmer than Lily. "Let's check if it's real first. What if it's a prank …"
"It can't be fake." Vivian flicked a rune card into the air and wrapped it in a cloud of blood mist. A series of crackling electricity immediately burst out from the blood mist. In the blink of an eye, the rune card and the blood mist were neutralized. "This is a very rigorous drawing method. Only the demon hunters and the church ascetics know how to draw it. It seems that we've really been targeted by the demon hunters."
"Didn't Raven 12345 say that it's all settled?" Hao Ren took a deep breath. The thought of those perverts made his scalp tingle. "Why are they here again?!"
Vivian sighed. "Sigh, that's why I said we shouldn't always count on her. We have to learn to protect ourselves. Let's wait for Nangong and the big guy to come back and discuss our countermeasures. The demon hunters have placed rune cards on this street. It means that they're almost certain of our location. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble … Tsk, it's rare to have a peaceful day. "
Although Vivian said so, she did not stop preparing. She waved her hand and summoned a dozen little bats. She waved at Hao Ren and said, "Come and help me apply sunscreen."
She was ready to investigate the surroundings immediately. Although Hao Ren doubted that these little bats could find traces of the demon hunters, it was better than doing nothing. Lily was curiously flipping through the pieces of paper that she found. She was quite confused by the twists and turns of the symbols. "What does this mean? Why is it different from the paper I saw last time? "
"There are many types of rune cards. Skilled demon hunters can create new rune cards themselves. The power of the Letta rune lies in its versatility," Vivian explained while working with Hao Ren to apply sunscreen on the little bats. "According to the runes on these pieces of paper … I think they are probably used to form some kind of 'field' or 'field'. Half of the runes are written with the territory of the earth, and the other half with the invisible shadow. These things are put together to set up a field. Reconnaissance, surveillance, combat, blockade, and whatever else they do, they have to use this field as the foundation. It seems that the demon hunters have just arrived. They didn't have time to set up more before you found them. "
Hao Ren felt that the demon hunters were a little weak this time. Even a husky like Lily could accidentally destroy the layout. Lily was also very happy. She popped her tail out and wagged it vigorously. "Of course, I'm still good at many things."
"Okay, then you're responsible for finding the rest of the runes," Vivian said. "According to the layout, the demon hunters seem to be wary of fighting us head-on. So, you keep destroying the formation. This will buy us some time, and we'll have more initiative. Find a way to find all the runes on the street."
Lily's tail suddenly froze in the air. "… Ah?"
"Ah what?" Vivian opened the window. A dozen bats flew into the sky in a scattered formation. She turned her head to look at Lily and Hao Ren. She grinned and said, "This is a provocation! I was unlucky to be caught off guard last time. This time, we are aware of it in advance and are prepared. No matter what, we have to catch them alive! "
As the vampire said, a cold wind gradually rose around her. She was full of fighting spirit.
