Although she knew that Ji Mingjiang was also from the Mermaid Center before, this was the first time he had returned here after his identity change. Still feeling a little nervous, Carrie hurried back from the back kitchen after registering a teething stick, fearing he would not be able to handle that group of little guys with distinct personalities.

However, when she opened the door while panting and her breathing had not yet calmed down, the actions of several mermaids, big and small, made her forget what she had originally planned to say.

“?”

Why is it completely different from the scene she imagined?

“Ah, Carrie is back.” After patting the head of Chen Ning, who thought his approach was discreet, Ji Mingjiang withdrew his hand in time. The short tail of the juvenile mermaid didn’t splash much water, allowing him to avoid it perfectly.

Ignoring Chen Ning’s suddenly wrinkled face, Ji Mingjiang walked up to Carrie calmly, took the teething stick from her, and then fell into silence.

A few seconds later, Ji Mingjiang, who checked the teething stick from beginning to end, thoroughly confirmed that it was not a new high-tech teething stick and that it would not suddenly stick out.

So……

“Isn’t this too small?!”

He put the stick and his fingers together and gestured, his tone rising in shock. “This is not even as long as my index finger?!”

“It can’t be helped. The kitchen didn’t expect that a mermaid who was just a few years old would need something like a teething stick. Considering Chen Ning’s figure, they finally gave me this defective product.”

Carrie was helpless when she mentioned this matter, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, she had never heard of mermaids grinding their teeth when they were young, or, to be precise, when they were cubs.

Ji Mingjiang twitched the corner of his mouth, finally defeated. “That’s okay.”

Anyway, the little guy doesn’t have many teeth to grind; maybe this one is enough.

“Chen Ning.” Returning to the pool, he called out to the mermaid, who was still lying in the same place as before. When Chen Ning raised his head, he rubbed his soft hair before handing over the teething stick under his shocked and accusing look.

“Carrie went to apply for a teething stick. If your teeth are itchy, use this to grind them. Don’t grind Sister Sasha’s plate.”

“Oh ok.”

After taking the teething stick from Ji Mingjiang’s hand, a few seconds later, an inaudible sound, as if squeezed out of his throat, reached Ji Mingjiang’s ears.

“Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” Ji Mingjiang responded casually, with an upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

[Open-screen critical attack! ]

[Jiang Jiang’s beauty kills me! ]

[I’m so dead! Dead through and through! So what did Jiang Jiang see that made him so happy? ]

[Hehe, I’m so happy too. Hehe, I thought I wouldn’t be able to wait today. ]

[Very good; the dead angle still won’t affect our Jiang Jiang’s beauty in any way. This moment is the beauty community’s big victory! ]

The black camera ball was currently being held in Ji Mingjiang’s hand, pointing upwards and capturing a portion of Ji Mingjiang’s chin and lips. Although they couldn’t see the surrounding environment clearly, the barrage was already blowing rainbow farts.

This made Ji Mingjiang, who was looking at his live broadcast room on the light-brain floating screen, even happier.

“Are you all ready? If you don’t want to, you can follow Carrie to another room. Don’t force it.”

A voice with a soothing and caring tone that was normally never heard before came from above, and a row of question marks popped up on the heads of the viewers who were watching the live broadcast at that moment.

[Such a gentle voice. Who is Jiang Jiang talking to? ]

[Suddenly, I remembered my daughter’s kindergarten teacher. Jiang Jiang has the potential to be a kindergarten teacher. He has a nice voice and a gentle personality. ]

[Upstairs, do you mean the kind of gentleness that makes the owner of the ski resort dumbfounded when skiing? ]

[hhhhh, that doesn’t count.]

Ji Mingjiang’s eyes drifted past the dense barrage and landed on the few little mermaids in front of him. He patiently gave them some time to consider.

But it didn’t take too long. After three or four seconds, these little guys quickly gave him the answer.

“Okay, then I’ll let go of the camera ball.”

Raising his eyebrows, Ji Mingjiang let go of his hand.

The black camera ball sank the moment Ji Mingjiang let go and then slowly rose into the air. The violently shaking picture left a group of viewers confused as to what Ji Mingjiang was doing.

However, some people still noticed Ji Mingjiang’s current live broadcast environment and typed a few lines among a group of question marks.

[Where is Jiang Jiang? Is this some new type of escape room? ]

[Ah? I’ve never heard of an escape room program on B437. It’s not like anyone travels there just to play escape rooms. This kind of program won’t last long. ]

[This background looks familiar. It seems to be the Mermaid Center? Did Jiang Jiang go back to visit the keepers? ]

[What the hell? ? ? Didn’t the Mermaid Center say that Internet-connected devices are not allowed? ! Is it okay for Cub Jiang to live broadcast inside? ! ]

“Well, someone guessed correctly; I’m indeed in the Mermaid Center now.”

“As for the previous regulations of the Mermaid Center, don’t worry. Due to some considerations, the rules and regulations of the Mermaid Center have changed a lot today. One of them is to cancel the prohibition of using Internet-connected devices in the room.”

Ji Ming Jiang took two steps backward. The entire wall behind him and the things on it were all captured on the screen by the camera ball. The camera ball, with the automatic follow mode turned on, followed Ji Mingjiang’s footsteps and reversed its direction toward the pool where the mermaid was located.

The first thing that appeared on the screen was the still-rippling surface of the water. Ji Mingjiang took one look and knew that it was caused by a mermaid that quickly dove underwater when he saw the camera turn around.

After that, as Ji Mingjiang walked towards the edge of the pool, the camera ball gradually came closer, and several mermaids who were still clinging to the shore and didn’t leave were captured in the picture.

[! ! ! I have never seen so many little mermaids in my life! ]

[Help, so cute! They are so cute! ]

[I was wondering why Jiang Jiang started the live broadcast so late today. It turned out that he had prepared such a big surprise. ]

Because of the previous regulations of the Mermaid Center prohibiting the use of Internet-connected devices inside, no images of the mermaids in the Mermaid Center have been circulated.

Some people can get some mermaid photos and personal information on the matching day, but most people can only follow those mermaid anchors. And because most mermaids tend to be afraid of strangers, few mermaids are willing to start live broadcasts, or even if they open a live broadcast room, they will not broadcast every day. So before Ji Mingjiang, they could only see a few of them over and over every day.

This is also the reason why, after seeing Ji Mingjiang not resisting the live broadcast, they, the audience, have nothing to do and squat in Ji Mingjiang’s live broadcast room every day—there is no way, except for him; other mermaids who start the live broadcast on time are simply… there’s absolutely none!

So one can imagine how excited the audience, who originally thought it would be good to see Jimingjiang, was when they saw a group of adorable young mermaids in his live broadcast room.

“I have a job here, so I can’t pay attention to your comments all the time. Just hang out by yourselves. Unfriendly comments will be deleted by the enhanced backend system.”

After a few brief explanations, Ji Mingjiang released the follow mode, and the dark camera ball immediately began to swing around the room like a wild horse. Of course, the main shot was still given to the large pool below.

“Is it okay to ignore them?”

Seeing Ji Mingjiang just letting the camera ball wander around with such a nonchalant expression, Carrie asked with some worry.

“Ah, it’s okay.” Ji Mingjiang waved his hand. He was the most familiar with his audience, and only a small part of them particularly liked to interact. “Most of them are just hanging around, listening to the sound, and occasionally looking up to get a glimpse of the image.”

“Okay, let’s not talk about the live broadcast. Let’s discuss the future arrangements. Are Sister Sasha and the others back?”

Ji Mingjiang glanced at the mermaids, who still didn’t know what they were about to face, then changed the topic and asked.

“Who called me?”

As soon as he finished speaking, the closed door was pushed open by a crack, and the cold air from the corridor sneaked in, blowing up the hem of Ji Mingjiang’s coat that was hanging at the coat rack in the doorway.

“Sister Sasha.” Ji Mingjiang, who really should call the other party sis for her age in this life alone, rushed to greet her.

“You’re here at the right time. I want to discuss with you where to start changing the way we raise mermaids.”

In fact, everything had to be changed, but it had to be done step by step. He didn’t want to make these little guys, who were used to leisure life, feel miserable on the first day.

“Is it going to start so soon?”

Carrie and the keeper at the back looked at their new director, who was about to take office in shock. They originally thought that Ji Mingjiang would choose to adapt to the situation for a few days before starting.

“No need, and there is nothing to adapt to. The daily schedule of this group of mermaids is completely the same as mine. Besides, I can wait, but time cannot wait. Of course, the sooner we start, the better. ”

Ji Mingjiang felt a headache when he thought about the federation’s unknown intentions and the poor physical fitness of these mermaids.

“Ah.”

Hearing his answer, Qin Shasha realized that she had unknowingly said what she had just been thinking.

But they actually don’t have any objections.

Carrie called up the schedule, and after a moment of silence, she said, “Let’s make modifications based on this, although it doesn’t seem to have any foundation.”

After Ji Mingjiang pointed out the current problems of the Mermaid Center and assisted Lin Feng with the physical examination data given before, Carrie saw this schedule again and suddenly felt…

What on earth were they thinking before—that they would arrange the schedule of a mermaid as if they were arranging the schedule of a useless person?

Ji Mingjiang was also puzzled. Although he had stayed here for nearly a month before, he had never seen the specific time schedule. Except for the last few days when he was taken care of by the taciturn keeper, for the rest of the time, it can be said that he relied on his persistence to extend his study time indefinitely every day.

As for exercise, he also has his own time to do it.

Therefore, after seeing the schedule on the floating screen in front of him, Ji Mingjiang was so shocked that he couldn’t say anything for a long time.

From nine o’clock to nine thirty is breakfast time, and then there is half an hour’s rest time after breakfast. From ten o’clock to twelve o’clock is the only study time in the day. The lunch and lunch break lasted until three o’clock, followed by half an hour of game time and an hour and a half of free time.

This free time is for the mermaids to decide for themselves. If the breeder is easy to talk to, it’s not a problem to spend all of this hour and a half watching cartoons, although most of the mermaids have chosen to sleep.

In fact, in the final analysis, for the area he is currently in, because they are all juvenile mermaids, which is kindergarten age in his previous era, two hours of study time is still a bit outrageous.

The problem is…this is the time schedule of the entire Mermaid Center!

“…”

Ji Mingjiang rubbed his eyebrows, and after thinking for a long time, he said, “Add half an hour of exercise time before breakfast. The study time and content remain unchanged in the morning, and another hour of ideological education time will be arranged in the afternoon.”

Placing everything in someone else’s favor and love is not a healthy, optimistic, and positive mindset that a mermaid should possess.

After briefly going over the schedule, Ji Mingjiang nodded and said, “Let’s try this for a week. After a week, let Lin Feng come back to check on them. If there are no problems, we can gradually increase the amount of training.”
