Chapter 46
The Right to Name a New Species! A Cute New Name!

【Congratulations! Host's affinity with 'Unnamed Dolphin' has increased! Due to similarities between its species characteristic 'Sonar' and your existing ability 'Radar Template,' you have been rewarded with a Perception-based ability: 【Enhanced Vision】!】

The system's notification surprised Yang Xu.

Because the rewards from the Bio-Chart's affinity version were based on the target's characteristics.

And the dolphin's sonar-based identification ability.

Was similar to Yang Xu's already possessed Radar Template ability.

The system had given different rewards based on his needs.

Yang Xu briefly checked the information on his new ability:

“【Enhanced Vision】: The host can gain enhanced visual perception under specific conditions and environments, including but not limited to thermal sensing, slow-motion vision, night vision, and more.”

This enhanced vision ability.

Was definitely very practical.

Most importantly, acquiring this reward was incredibly easy!

Playing with these dolphin 'bear children' was hardly a difficult task.

Due to the affinity.

The already intelligent and lively dolphins had even higher favorability towards Yang Xu.

At least for the past few minutes.

In the eyes of the livestream audience.

The entire Pacific Ocean.

Felt like a playground for Yang Xu and the dolphins.

This opportunity was once-in-a-lifetime, something that money couldn't buy.

It was making the viewers extremely envious.

The most infuriating part was that even if they had the money, Brother Xu wouldn't be short of it…

Perhaps that's just how life is.

In the livestream, the viewers watched as Yang Xu was about to return to the yacht.

And the 'Yunfan' would inevitably bid farewell to these little dolphins.

Everyone started discussing their scientific name.

But the problem was…

These black and white dolphins belonged to a new subspecies that hadn't been discovered before.

【These little dolphins are so adorable, is it true they don't have a specific official name?】

【At least judging from the known habits and characteristics of dolphins, they aren't recorded. I checked the school's marine biological database just now.】

【I'm just curious, what process is needed to name a newly discovered subspecies?】

【That's getting into the realm of trivia, who researches that stuff as an ordinary person…】

At this moment, Yang Xu was lying on the back of a little dolphin.

The dolphin was like a natural powered 'surfboard,' carrying Yang Xu back to the yacht.

Through the lower swim platform at the back of the ship.

After a brief interaction with the black and white dolphins.

Yang Xu returned to the Yunfan.

As soon as Yang Xu returned to the yacht, Yi Ying said:

“Brother Xu, an old gentleman named Chen from the Institute of Marine Biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, had his student leave a message for us on the livestream.”

“The Institute of Marine Biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences?”

Upon hearing the name of the institution.

Yang Xu knew it had to be about the black and white dolphins.

He added, “We don't have any samples and have no intention of capturing the dolphins.”

If he had discovered a monster or beast in the ocean.

Whether it was killing or capturing, he wouldn't hesitate.

But these dolphins… they were harmless, why would he kill them?

He wouldn't do it for any amount of money.

Upon hearing the conversation between Yi Ying and Yang Xu.

The livestream viewers were instantly indignant:

【What? The Institute of Marine Biology? Are they going to capture the dolphins for research? How can they do that?】

【The kind of research that involves dissection? Brother Xu directly refused, truly worthy of my admiration! I haven't misjudged him!】

【Sister Yi Ying hasn't finished talking yet, can you guys stop making wild guesses?】

Yi Ying shrugged and said, “It's not what you think!”

“Professor Chen from the Institute of Marine Biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences wants to help us finalize the relevant procedures and officially name these black and white dolphins through legal channels.”

After saying this, Yi Ying muttered, “Professor Chen is just being kind, you guys always jump to the worst conclusions.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xu's slightly furrowed brows relaxed.

“So that's the case, we'll prepare whatever materials are needed.”

As the Institute of Marine Biology at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

They had the most efficient channels for communication with the 'ICZN International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature'.

If Yang Xu and Yi Ying were to handle this matter while traveling in the Pacific, it might take them until the year of the monkey to get results.

And during that time.

If someone else discovered the black and white dolphins.

Then the discoverer and the namer might not be Yang Xu in the official procedures.

Yi Ying's explanation.

Caused the attitudes of the livestream viewers to change 180 degrees:

【The Chinese Academy of Sciences is the most authoritative research institution in Xia, Professor Chen was being kind and you guys misunderstood him!】

The livestream was instantly filled with 'Professor Chen, we apologize!' messages.

Yi Ying shook her head helplessly and couldn't help but laugh.

The internet is full of silly people.

That's what those people are…

【But on second thought, what name does Brother Xu plan to give these black and white dolphins?】

【Naming an unknown species of dolphin, that's so cool!】

【I know about the 'Wallace's Flying Frog,' it was named after its discoverer Alfred Russel Wallace!】

【And the 'Darwin's Finch'! It was discovered by Darwin while sailing on the HMS Beagle in the Galapagos Islands, similar to Brother Xu's current situation!】

Yi Ying scratched her head and said:

“Following that logic, these dolphins should be called 'Yang Xu Dolphin'? It just feels a little weird.”

Yang Xu's face turned black…

He felt like this name was describing his butt.

He said, “You're quite the name-giver, you can come up with a totally mismatched name.”

Yang Xu rejected Yi Ying's suggestion.

This finally gave the girl a sigh of relief.

“I think it's inappropriate too, once the naming is successful, it becomes an internationally recognized scientific name, it will be written in encyclopedias.”

“Such adorable dolphins deserve a cute name!”

So the question is.

What should they be called?

Actually, Yang Xu had already thought of a name.

He cleared his throat and said: “……
