Not only Yang Xu and Yi Ying were a little confused.
The viewers in the live stream were even more curious.
“Uncle Li, what do you mean by that?”
Yi Ying asked with curiosity.
Her question.
Was also what nearly 100,000 viewers in the live stream wanted to ask.
Uncle Li did not answer directly:
“It depends on whether you are willing or not. Come inside and have some tea first, I’ll cut some watermelon for you to eat.”
In the live stream:
【We misjudged Uncle Li! He’s not at all simple, he’s actually keeping us in suspense. What’s the deal?】
【I guess he’s about to go out to sea? Is he taking Xu Ge and Ying Jie to go fishing? That would be amazing!】
【This island is so beautiful, I could watch the live stream for the entire afternoon even if we did nothing!】
【You bunch of silly netizens, you’re all just excited about seeing this kind of island for the first time. If you were actually sent to live there for three to five months, you’d probably go crazy with boredom. Only someone like Uncle Li, who can settle down, is capable of taking on the somewhat tedious work of protecting the marine ecosystem. They are people worthy of respect.】
…
The North Island is only 0.4 square kilometers in size.
The makeshift huts can be seen in the distance.
However, it is said that there are over a dozen residents on the island.
Yang Xu looked around but didn't see anyone else.
“Uncle Li, are you the only one on the island right now?”
Yang Xu walked slowly along the beach towards the island's residential area.
Li Wanghai nodded.
Then he shook his head.
He said: “It’s true that I’m the only one on the island right now, but there aren't only one person living here.”
“Did the others go out to sea?” Yi Ying asked softly.
“Besides me, there are eight other colleagues from the sea turtle protection station on the island. Our station is setting up a branch station on Jin Qing Island, which is about dozens of nautical miles away. Everyone else has gone over there for training and lectures, and they will be back the day after tomorrow.”
When Uncle Li said this.
Yang Xu could roughly guess what he meant by “You’ve come at the right time.”
As expected.
Uncle Li continued with a smile: “The number of sea turtles that have been returning to the island recently seems to have increased. I’m a little too busy to handle it on my own.”
“So you want us to be your helpers?” Yi Ying asked with a smile.
Her tone seemed to suggest she was looking forward to experiencing marine ecological protection as a volunteer!
Uncle Li scratched his head and smiled:
“Miss Yi, you are truly intelligent. That’s what I meant, but it depends on whether you’re willing. After all, you’re here on vacation, and it wouldn't be good to trouble you.”
【This means we’ll get to see how the sea turtle protection station works? I’m so excited!】
【Uncle Li, I want to experience it too. I’m willing to pay!】
【Xu Ge should agree, right? The ‘Cloud Sail’ isn’t in a hurry to leave anyway. Let’s satisfy our curiosity.】
However.
Just when the audience thought Yang Xu would agree without hesitation to help Uncle Li watch over the sea turtles on the island for a day.
Yang Xu unexpectedly shook his head!
Even Yi Ying was dumbfounded………
Under the surprised attention of the audience.
Yang Xu said to Uncle Li:
“We can’t work unconditionally. I want to ask, will you provide meals?”
Pfft……
Yi Ying couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Uncle Li nodded repeatedly: “There’s plenty of seafood on the island! I thought you were going to ask for something else.”
At this time, the number of viewers in the live stream had reached 99,100.
It was just one step away from breaking through the 100,000 mark.
Since the ‘Sea Turtle Protection Station’ hadn’t arrived yet, the ‘Global Check-In’ hadn’t sent any feedback on whether it was possible to check in.
Yang Xu thought to himself.
The 100,000 views reward and the check-in reward would probably arrive at the same time.
Double the gifts would be fantastic.
The camera in the live stream clearly captured the footprints left on the white sand beach.
Yang Xu naturally noticed this too.
Before Yang Xu could speak, Uncle Li took the initiative to explain: “These footprints on the beach, in rows, were left by sea turtles returning to the island to lay eggs.”
Yi Ying, who was lagging behind.
She squatted on the beach, giving those little footprints a close-up with the camera.
Then she gently picked up a handful of white sand.
The white sand slipped through the gaps between her fingers.
A gust of sea wind blew over her………
Blowing sand into Yi Ying's mouth.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh~ It’s so salty!”
The viewers in the live stream were shocked by Yi Ying’s operation…
Although Yi Ying was a ten-in-one sports prodigy.
But girls inevitably have their silly side.
Yang Xu laughed heartily from a distance: “Eat more of this stuff, it’s good for your bones.”
【Good for your bones? What do you mean? Is it because the sand is white?】
【But come to think of it, ordinary beaches are yellow. Why is the sand here white?】
Yi Ying jogged a couple of steps and followed behind Yang Xu.
The question that viewers were wondering about.
This girl actually knew a little about it.
She said to the viewers in the live stream:
“The reason why the sand on North Island is white is because it’s mainly composed of ‘coral sand’, which is softer than ordinary yellow sand! It’s also very comfortable to walk barefoot on the beach!”
“These sands are mainly composed of coral fragments mixed with calcareous algae and echinoderm fragments, so it can also be called ‘calcareous sand’, it’s said to have a calcium content of up to 90%!”
“Of course, what Yang Xu just said about eating sand to supplement calcium is definitely a joke, don’t be misled! It’d be a big joke if you actually tried to eat sand.”
【Yi Ying little sister actually knows about this? She’s got some stuff!】
【If they didn’t have a few tricks up their sleeves, Xu Ge and Ying Jie wouldn’t dare to sail around the world in a yacht!】
【New viewers, congratulations on discovering two treasure anchors~】
Yang Xu narrowed his eyes and carefully looked Yi Ying up and down.
He said with a smile: “I didn’t expect you to have so much trivia in your little head?”
…
At the same time!
The system suddenly sent out a series of reminder feedback:
【Congratulations! Host……
