Yi Ying mentioned the new term "flagship species."
This sparked a strong sense of curiosity among the viewers in the live stream.
After all, those who followed Yang Xu's live stream.
Wanted to see places they hadn't been, creatures they hadn't seen, and knowledge they didn't possess.
Every water friend was a curious baby.
Their minds were full of questions~
At this time, Yang Xu had already entered the hut with Uncle Li Wang Hai.
The northern island was covered in trees like Coast Greybeard.
Besides that.
There were also plants like silver-haired trees, sea hibiscus, and noni trees.
The shade of the trees covered the hut.
The sea breeze blew the leaves.
【Ying Jie, what exactly is a 'flagship species'? It sounds very powerful.】
【It must be the boss with a high ecological niche in a specific ecosystem? No, wait...Sea turtles aren't very powerful in combat either.】
【I've already brought my small stool. Please give us a lesson, streamer teacher~】
Facing the strong thirst for knowledge from the viewers in the live stream.
Yi Ying smiled awkwardly.
After all, some of the information about sea turtles.
Was also information she had gathered on her way to the north island.
The term was too professional.
She could only offer a partial explanation.
Yi Ying smiled and said:
"I don't know much either. Sea turtles mainly feed on small fish and seaweed. In a certain ecosystem, they play a role in balancing the species."
Having said that.
Yi Ying humbly asked Uncle Li Wang Hai:
"Uncle Li, I didn't explain it completely, did I."
Yang Xu chimed in and said, "What you mentioned is just a small part of it."
Uncle Li chuckled in a good-natured way, "Yang Xu is right. Actually..."
This time.
Uncle Li Wang Hai's words trailed off again.
The viewers were getting impatient.
Uncle Li was already quite slow with his speech, and he also liked to keep them guessing.
"Essentially, 'flagship species' are animals that are quite rare and endangered, and they have a certain level of recognition."
Even though he said that.
The viewers still didn't understand.
Uncle Li continued with a smile, "Sea turtles are the representative species of our South China Sea. They receive a lot of social attention, so when it comes to protection efforts, funds are prioritized for them. Simply put, the more attention they get, the easier it is to get protection funds approved."
Now everyone understood...
That's what a flagship species meant.
Yang Xu added:
"Compared to the sea turtles of the South China Sea, take the giant panda as an example. The giant panda is our national treasure, and also a world-class 'flagship species'. When these representative species receive funds for protection, other species within the ecosystem also benefit."
【Another day of learning new things~ Thanks to the streamer and Uncle Li for your guidance!】
【Got it! They're famous, rare, and when they're protected, other species around them are also protected!】
【We haven't seen any sea turtles yet. They must all be hiding in secret.】
...
Because Yang Xu and Yi Ying arrived on the north island as the sun was about to set.
They hadn't had time to explore the island yet.
It was already dinner time.
Uncle Li Wang Hai was hospitable, and since Yang Xu and Yi Ying would be helping him manage the 'Sea Turtle Conservation Station' tomorrow.
He had prepared several dishes for dinner.
Yang Xu and Yi Ying helped prepare the food, and they worked for almost an hour.
Uncle Li said, "After you finish dinner, you can go back to the boat and rest. We'll go on a patrol around the island tomorrow morning."
This arrangement from Uncle Li.
Perfectly aligned with Yang Xu's plan.
After all, the 【Yacht Attribute Upgrade】 template he received from the system previously.
He hadn't used it because he didn't have any attribute points.
After surpassing 100,000 followers, the reward was precisely 3 attribute points.
When he returned to the yacht at night, Yang Xu would also have time to upgrade the 'Cloud Sail'.
...
Uncle Li chuckled good-naturedly, "It's just some home-cooked food. Don't be too picky."
On the dinner table.
There were dishes like scallops stir-fried with Chinese cabbage, sea cucumber braised in eggs, braised flatfish, and steamed white perch.
There was also a small bowl of fresh red flower crabs.
These red flower crabs don't require any seasoning to cook. You just need to dip them in some seafood soy sauce, and they taste delicious~
Perhaps on this small island in the South China Sea, the transportation of goods is not convenient.
But they never lack seafood~
The viewers in the live stream were drooling.
【Wow! So much seafood. In our inland cities, it would cost thousands for a few dishes.】
【The most important thing is that it's fresh. Those fish and crabs were caught by Uncle Li this morning.】
【Streamer, can you ask Uncle Li a question for me? Does he have some kind of misconception about 'home-cooked meals'?】
...
However!
During this relaxed dinner time.
The system ability 【Radar Template】 that Yang Xu had previously obtained suddenly issued a reminder feedback!
Didn't this thing only trigger when there was rare creature activity within a certain range?
You know, sea turtles, which are protected animals.
Would not trigger the system radar.
What was it, then?
【Congratulations! System radar scan...
