Chapter 385 Little Baby
Eric Ferguson Nicole and Yvette could not bear to see the huge fish and whales swimming around, so they found a quiet place to sit and drink coffee.
This aquarium was indeed quiet. The staff carefully served them from the side, afraid that the coffee they provided would not satisfy the two distinguished ladies.
Nicole looked around. “There are no fish here?” That was great! The aquarist at the side paused. “Yes, Ms. Stanton.
This is the mantis shrimp exhibit. Since it’s not a rare species, there are usually fewer people visiting this exhibit.
Would you like to have a look?” Mantis shrimp? Nicole looked at the aquarist’s expectant gaze and nodded.
Obviously, rather than look at them, she wanted to eat them instead.
The aquarist turned off the surrounding lights, and the special elements overhead, on the ground, and the walls immediately on the ground, and walls immediately lit up with blue light.
The light was very faint and dim, which created a deep-sea illusion. When Nicole looked closer, she saw plenty of shrimp swimming inside.
It was indeed mantis shrimp. Unlike the mantis shrimps served on plates, the ones swimming in the tank looked very cute.
Since they were of different species, they varied in size. Some were black and white, simple while still seemingly mesmerizing.
Some glowed green with a touch of red, with vibrant colors on its tail and different patterns on its body. In the deep and boundless sea, they frolicked in the gravel-filled seabed, swimming with their bony frames.
The moment the lights went off, Nicole and Yvette felt like they were on the dark seafloor. They could not even see the wall in front of them.
Whether it was above, below, or beside them, all that surrounded them was the environment of the sea. The corridor they just entered became an undersea tunnel.
These three-dimensional surroundings shocked them. Above them were floating seaweed and coral.
They were surrounded by the dark and heavy sound of the seawater surging, bringing along with it the mysteries of the ocean. Together with the aid of technology, everything looked well-defined.
It was as if the deep and spreading seabed was boundless. Yvette could not help but exclaim aloud,“ A mantis shrimp exhibit?” The aquarist immediately began the rehearsed introduction.
“The mantis shrimp is considered a predatory shrimp, originating from the Mesozoic Jurassic…” Nicole was amazed and subconsciously blurted out, “Are all of them edible?” The aquarist looked at the two very expectant young ladies. The sides of his mouth twitched as he forced a smile.“
Yes, if they’re fresh.” If it were anyone else asking, he would If it were anyone asking, he would kick them out in an instant.
However, Nicole and Yvette were important guests, The aquarist thought to himself, Forget it… Just bear with this…
My poor mantis shrimps!’ The two ladies exchanged a glance and grinned. It was a tacit understanding. They both already knew what they would be having for lunch today.
“By the way, you can buy the naming rights of a pet here. You can choose the one you like as a pet and name it.
We’ll be responsible for protecting and raising it here.
You can come and visit your pet at any time.” That was rather interesting. Nicole smiled and pointed to one of the mantis shrimps. It was bright in color and had a beautiful and straight body.
It looked graceful and cute. “Then, I want this little baby…” “Certainly, Ms. Stanton. This is a rare species acquired at a high price from the Mariana Trench.
What would you like to Mariana Trench? We would you like to name it?” Without hesitation, Nicole said, “Eric Ferguson.” The aquarist’s hand trembled.
He almost dropped the expensive remote control. Yvette could not help but burst into laughter as she patted Nicole’s shoulder.
“Little baby? You just wanna eat his flesh and drink his blood, right? That’s a great name!” A proud and tall figure stood at the entrance of the tunnel. The man had a clear temperament and a cold and calm face, but his eyes were dark and narrowed.
When he heard this, he was a little irritated by Yvette’s annoying laughter. ‘In their eyes, I’m a mantis shrimp?!’ Yvette tilted her head back and laughed. When she glanced to the side and saw that figure, her laughter stopped abruptly.
