Chapter 9
The ‘Pearl Necklace’ of the South China Sea! The Seven Islands of Treasure Island!

The night passed without incident. The next morning, the sun rose in the east.

It seemed like a light rain had fallen the previous night.

There were some dewdrops on the deck of the ‘Cloud Sail’ yacht, sparkling like crystals.

The sea breeze was pleasant. After getting up, Yang Xu stood on the deck and stretched.

His posture was like he was embracing the ocean.

“Breakfast is ready. Eat up and then we'll set sail!”

Yi Ying poked her head out of the cabin. As she spoke, she untied the apron around her neck.

This girl's cooking skills weren't top-notch.

But she made ordinary dishes quite delicious.

Yang Xu was even more satisfied with his decision to bring this girl aboard before setting sail.

If you had to describe Yi Ying in one sentence:

She could navigate the seas as a helmsman.

Or warm your stomach as a little chef.

After all, the ‘Cloud Sail’ hadn't set sail again yet.

Yang Xu wasn't in a hurry to start the livestream.

“Yang Xu, I have a question for you,” Yi Ying placed the fried poached egg in front of Yang Xu's plate.

“What is it?” Yang Xu asked back.

Sitting across from him at the dining table, Yi Ying glanced at a world nautical chart hanging in the dining room.

Then she said, “After we reach the Seven Islands of the South China Sea, where will the ‘Cloud Sail’ go next?”

“The whole world is our home. If we have to reach a specific destination at a specific time, that's called rushing, not traveling.”

Yang Xu said it lightly, and it sounded very carefree.

Yi Ying sighed and said, "Let's decide in advance so we can handle the visa issue."

Yang Xu nodded slightly.

He didn't expect this woman to be so thoughtful.

The morning sea breeze propelled the ‘Cloud Sail’ on its journey.

Before the livestream started again.

Yang Xu casually browsed through some Douyin short videos.

He discovered that the ‘Rescuing the Whale Shark’ video that was uploaded by netizens yesterday.

Had an unusually high number of likes!

Although Yang Xu didn't have an account on this platform, it could attract a lot of attention for him.

Besides that.

There were also some self-media marketing accounts that used Yang Xu's yesterday's video to make articles.

Such as:

《Shocking! A Young Man From Xia Country Goes Yachting and Encounters a Deep-Sea Monster!》

《Diving Adventure! Outdoor Male Streamer Dives in the South China Sea and Discovers an Amazing Secret!》

“These silly marketing accounts, they're probably laid-off from the UC Shocking Department and have found a new job. The titles are killing me.”

Yang Xu tossed his phone aside.

Today, they planned to use a drone in combination with handheld devices for the livestream.

Yi Ying said indignantly, “These self-media outlets profit from your video, copying and pasting to make money. I don't respect those people.”

Yang Xu didn't care.

After all, whether it's a short video platform,

or self-media marketing accounts.

They're all indirectly helping to raise his influence.

The higher the influence, the higher the rewards from the 【Global Check-in】 system!

Sitting back and enjoying the benefits, why not?

Everything went exactly as Yang Xu expected.

When the livestream started, it only took ten minutes for the real-time online viewers to exceed fifty thousand!

Yi Ying couldn't help but exclaim, "It's only 6 o'clock in the morning, many people haven't even gotten out of bed yet. We're going to blow up!”

Yang Xu shrugged, unconcerned, "Look at your lack of ambition, this is just the beginning.”

Then.

Yang Xu greeted the viewers in the livestream:

“The ‘Cloud Sail’ has been docked overnight. Today, we're setting off towards the first destination, the Seven Islands of the South China Sea.”

Yi Ying picked up where he left off and added:

“If all goes well, we should be the first private yacht to travel to the Seven Islands under our own power.”

After all, the Seven Islands are not open to private yachts for self-driving travel.

【Brother Xu and Sister Ying are like a perfect duo, even the way they greet each other has improved in terms of coordination.】

【So something must have happened last night to boost their relationship. (Manually change color)】

【Let's go! I usually sleep in, but Brother Xu's livestream made me wake up four hours early!】

After confirming the sea conditions and route.

The ‘Cloud Sail’ rode the waves towards the southeast in the morning!

Remaining distance: 50 nautical miles.

Plus, Yi Ying, who was gradually adapting to the role of helmsman, could increase the speed more than yesterday.

Average speed: 12 knots.

Four hours later.

The islands and reefs, connected in a continuous chain, appeared in the camera lens!

Yang Xu took out his livestream drone.

Then he launched the drone into the air.

Such vast and beautiful scenery deserved to be appreciated with a wider view!

Yang Xu stood on the deck of the yacht.

Facing the sea breeze, he chatted with the viewers in the livestream, "The Seven Islands are located in our country's South China Sea. It's not the name of a single island, but the collective term for seven islands connected together."

Then Yi Ying's voice came through the intercom from the cockpit to the livestream.

She said with a smile, “The seven islands are connected, with a very beautiful arc, so the Seven Islands are also called the ‘Pearl Necklace of the South China Sea.’”

The audience was amazed.

Our motherland has countless beautiful mountains and rivers.

Many places they had never even heard of.

When the livestream drone took to the air!

The vastness of the “Thousand-Mile Changsha, Ten Thousand-Mile Shitang” in the South China Sea, as recorded by the ancients, was captured in the frame!

Grand and exquisite!

Beyond the awe, the audience couldn't help but look forward to following Yang Xu's lens to these beautiful islands!

The ‘Cloud Sail’ cut through the waves!

Up ahead was Yang Xu's destination for the first leg of his global tour!
