Jiang Ye, though she said it verbally, had already taken a step forward.
She had intended to show everyone in the game the sea today.
Except for Chun Deng Luan, all the other bullet comments were egging Jiang Ye on to quickly go into the sea.
Some players who still had their wits about them were worried.
γIf the streamer goes into the sea like this, won't she suffocate?γ
γWe're sharing our bodies, 5555, I'm so scared, I don't want to experience the feeling of suffocating!γ
γThe one in front, you can manually turn it off yourself first.γ
βIn this game test, there hasn't been a case of suffocating yet,β Jiang Ye comforted her somewhat nervous audience, βDon't worry, everyone.β
Even though Jiang Ye said this, some people who were prone to panic would still panic.
For example, the top big shot, I'm Super Fierce.
Amidst the uniformly eager bullet comments for Jiang Ye to go into the sea, I'm Super Fierce's bullet comment, which, with its special effects for the top big shot and built-in magnification, stood out conspicuously, making it hard for Jiang Ye not to see it.
I'm Super Fierce: γDon't go, don't go!γ
I'm Super Fierce: γAhhhh streamer, don't go!!!γ
Chun Deng Luan: γWhat, are you scared?γ
I'm Super Fierce: γWho, who said I was scared!γ
But... isn't it natural for kittens to be afraid of water!
I'm Super Fierce didn't know how to describe her feelings.
Standing far away, looking at the sea, just like when she first entered the stream, she felt okay, she could even appreciate the beauty of the sea and feel the leisure of that moment.
But the moment the streamer walked forward and actually stepped into the seawater, all of I'm Super Fierce's cat fur stood on end as if electrocuted.
Even her scalp tingled.
This feeling was too strange, making I'm Super Fierce feel scared.
Even through the streamer's perspective, looking at the sea before her, she felt that the sea no longer looked as gentle as before.
Beneath this calm, even shimmering, diamond-like sea surface, who knew how many dangers awaited her.
I'm Super Fierce swore with her cat intuition that the sea was definitely not as simple as it looked!
Just by staring at the swaying water waves, I'm Super Fierce felt her head was about to spin, and the longer she stared, the more likely a subtle hallucination would appear.
It was as if the seawater would transform from formless to form, becoming a large hand grasping her, pulling at her ankles, dragging her directly to the deepest, darkest part of the seabed.
I'm Super Fierce didn't want to share her emotions in front of so many people, so she could only speak fiercely on the bullet comments in a somewhat unreasonable manner.
I'm Super Fierce: γAnyway, streamer, I don't want you to go down!γ
I'm Super Fierce: γI'm the top big shot!γ
I'm Super Fierce: γBesides, you're an old bone, it's not good to go into the water, is it? What if you catch a cold.γ
γBig shot, stop pretending, just say you're scared if you are.γ
γNo, big shot!!! We really want to see everything in the sea!!! Please, please, let the streamer go down!γ
γQuietly asking, does the top big shot not know that streamers can use voice changers... When I saw the streamer building the chicken coop earlier, I didn't think she looked like an old lady at all.γ
Jiang Ye actually understood I'm Super Fierce's feelings quite well.
βSuper Fierce,β Jiang Ye's voice softened, and with the help of the voice changer, it sounded like a grandmother telling bedtime stories in a kind tone every night.
With just one call, she stunned I'm Super Fierce.
... Why was she called with such a gentle voice!
Although I'm Super Fierce thought this, she couldn't deny the warmth and sweetness she felt upon hearing the streamer call her that.
βI understand how you feel, and I believe this feeling and resistance is not something only you have,β Jiang Ye patiently explained, βWhen I first went into the sea, I was also very scared.β
βBut don't worry, I'm here, okay? If we encounter any problems or dangers, I will turn off the stream first, cut off the body sharing, and I won't let you worry.β
I'm Super Fierce: γWho, who is worried!γ
βThen will you be willing to accompany me to see the sea?β
For some reason, I'm Super Fierce's face instantly turned red.
How could this person speak such gentle words in an old grandma's voice!!
It made her feel like she was unreasonably bullying her elder.
She was a good kitty who respected the old and loved the young!
βOkay?β Jiang Ye waited patiently for I'm Super Fierce's response.
I'm Super Fierce: γOkay okay okay okay okayγ
I'm Super Fierce: γDon't ask, if you ask again I'll commit suicide.γ
I'm Super Fierce: γAnyway, anyway, you're the one who's making me accompany you into the sea, okay!γ
βYes, it's me,β Jiang Ye coaxed her like a child, βNow, top big shot, can I continue forward?β
Jiang Ye felt that she was truly a streamer with great service spirit.
I'm Super Fierce raised her cat paw and typed two words.
γGo!γ
With these words, Jiang Ye hesitated no longer and continued walking into the sea.
This whole commotion made Chun Deng Luan, who had originally decided not to fall into the streamer's trap again, feel a moment of competitiveness.
If he were the top big shot, there would probably be so many tricks.
This thought flashed by and disappeared immediately.
Chun Deng Luan no longer had the luxury of dealing with these complex thoughts.
As the streamer walked deeper into the sea, his heart beat faster and faster.
A viewer switched to the first-person perspective and took a screenshot from another angle.
In the vast sea, a lonely yet determined back was moving forward.
The sunlight fell on her, outlining her in gold.
What a beautiful and shocking scene!
But, the protagonist of this picture was a stick figure.
What was originally a majestic photo immediately turned into a sand-sculpture-like eerie style.
γPlease, streamer, don't you consider changing your face?γ
γStreamer, if you're ugly, you can make yourself prettier, we don't mind, really. Don't always be a stick figure, it ruins the atmosphere.γ
γBut I quite like the stick figure, I think it's very cute.γ
γ+1, I don't know why, but every time I watch the streamer's broadcast, I feel like I'm watching a children's cartoon. The picture is simple and pure, the voiceover is amiable and kind. Very suitable for prenatal education, haha ha ha!γ
This discussion about Jiang Ye's appearance was soon covered by another wave of topics.
The more important moment had arrived.
Jiang Ye reached the deepest part, then lifted her foot and, with a swimming motion, headed towards an even deeper area.
As she submerged beneath the water surface, the sunlight shone on the sea surface, and beautiful light penetrated the water, falling before Jiang Ye's eyes.
Where the water was too shallow, there wasn't much special, but just the appearance of this water made many viewers hold their breath, forgetting about the bullet comments.
Immersive.
Once again, immersive.
At this moment, the viewers felt that it wasn't the streamer who entered the water, but themselves.
So they dared not breathe.
All they saw was flowing seawater, and if they accidentally took a breath, it wouldn't be air entering their nostrils and mouths, but seawater.
No one wanted to experience that uncomfortable, choking taste a second time.
Their hearts raced, filled with tension.
Just as many viewers were about to suffocate and were close to fainting from holding their breath, a kind viewer posted a bullet comment.
γFriendly reminder, we're not really in the water, we can breathe.γ
As soon as this bullet comment popped up, the viewers who were holding their breath breathed a sigh of relief and greedily inhaled the fresh air.
Jiang Ye was completely unaware of this; she was already swimming headfirst into the sea.
The shallow waters below the sea surface had already appeared, with white sand covering the path, as if leading to a sacred path.
The sunlight and shadows also fell on the white sand, and the shadows of the water waves swayed back and forth, creating a dreamlike interplay of light and dark.
Brown, low-lying coral reefs were scattered like castles in a Lilliputian world.
When Jiang Ye moved closer to observe, small fish, startled, would wag their tails and dart out like miniature rockets, launching with a pop.
γStreamer, what is that?γ
As Jiang Ye swam through a patch of withered yellow ground, a bullet comment asked curiously.
βSeagrass,β Jiang Ye replied.
γSeagrass in the sea?γ
γShocked! I thought the sea was only water... water and nothing but water.γ
βOf course there's seagrass in the sea, and herbivores too,β Jiang Ye said with a smile, βManatees and dugongs, as well as planktonic organisms like krill, are herbivores.β
γManatees? Are there cows in the sea?γ
γDugong what?? I can't type that character??γ
Jiang Ye then remembered that A-Xing had told her that in the Dalibik System, the environments of different planets varied, and most interstellar people had never seen the sea or had very little knowledge of marine life.
Let alone interstellar people; even on Blue Star, where Jiang Ye was located, some people never saw the sea in their entire lives.
For many, the deepest understanding of the sea in their lives came from marine animal parks, which were, ironically, the nightmare of countless marine animals.
Facing the confusion of the interstellar people, Jiang Ye couldn't fully answer with words for a while. She could only say, βIf there's a chance next time, I'll take you to see them.β
γReally? Streamer, if you say that, I'll follow you.γ
γDon't just make promises, streamer!! You said you'd take us to see the cows in the deep sea!!γ
γThe one in front, can you be more professional? That's called a manatee! Manatee!γ
γNo... I want to say, why do you all believe this streamer so much? What if she's just making it up.γ
γ+1, I can make things up too. I'll say there are sea tigers, sea lions, and seahorses here too!γ
Jiang Ye chuckled at this bullet comment.
βHonestly, I haven't seen sea tigers.β
Sea tigers do exist on Blue Star, but they don't live in the sea; sea tigers, also known as Persian tigers, are land creatures.
However...
Jiang Ye snapped her fingers, and a monk seal in its original form instantly appeared beside her.
It happily flipped in the water and circled Jiang Ye.
Its round head was particularly cute, looking very comfortable to the touch, and the few white whiskers on its face added to its somewhat dazed and adorable demeanor.
γAhhhh so cute!!! What is this!!γ
γA seal!! A seal!!! I've seen them in textbooks!! My god, aren't these types of seals already extinct? They actually exist in the game!γ
βYes,β Jiang Ye said, using the bullet comments as an opportunity to continue, βOur game is very dedicated to restoring marine ecosystems and creatures, so everyone can look forward to the island mode and gameplay being unlocked in the future!β
Mirror Lian, who was invisible to the viewers and silently forced to follow Jiang Ye, shot Jiang Ye a look at this moment.
Jiang Ye smiled and signaled with her eyes: Don't worry, I'm advertising for your company.
While Jiang Ye was diligently working, the contrarian player did not stop their incessant arguing.
γOkay, even if this is a seal, what about a seahorse?γ
γIf you have the guts, find me a seahorse in the sea!γ
βDo you really want to see it?β Jiang Ye asked.
γHeh, scared now!γ
γI knew you were just bragging!γ
Jiang Ye happened to be free and hadn't decided where to take her viewers yet. Seeing this person's heated reaction, she thought that if she didn't severely slap this guy's face, he might not know what it meant to shut up.
So Jiang Ye swam downward, head down.
Seeing her silence, the contrarian was pleased.
γWhy isn't the streamer talking anymore?γ
γHere, I'll throw you a bomb, come on, say something to me.γ
γUser Don't Argue Arguing Is Right sends X1 thunder rocket to streamer So Poor Won't Chat.γ
βSay something,β Jiang Ye replied coldly, with two words.
γNo way, streamer, you have this reaction even after I've given you money?γ
γForget it, I won't argue with you. If you can find that seahorse, I'll eat shit standing on my head!γ
Jiang Ye looked at the faint colors visible in the distance and chuckled.
βThen you should start preparing what you're going to eat.β
γDid you see a seahorse?γ
βNo, but I see coral,β Jiang Ye looked ahead.
In the blue seawater, colorful coral lay like a dreamlike sunset, eternally present here.
Thousands of shades of red, countless purples, every color visible to the human eye, all born from nature's creation.
Coral overlapped to form coral reefs, like fortresses for schools of fish.
Above them, between them, fish came and went freely.
The colors of these fish were also special, unlike freshwater fish, unlike fish raised in ponds solely for consumption and fishing enjoyment.
These fish were colorful and beautiful, each one.
Jiang Ye extended her hand, and a fish obediently swam to her.
It had yellow and white stripes, a tail like a transparent small fan, a pointed mouth, round eyes, and moved flexibly.
βThis is a butterflyfish,β Jiang Ye said while filling out the collection section of the Island Construction Manual, introducing this type of fish to the viewers, βLook, butterflyfish usually have black spots and false eyes.β
Jiang Ye gently pointed, and on the upper right side of the yellow and white fish's tail, there was indeed a small, eye-like marking.
βMost of the time, you can use this characteristic to determine if the fish you see is a butterflyfish.β
γA little scary...γ
γ+1! If you stare too long, the false eye looks like it's moving, it's very strange.γ
βHahaha, that's the purpose of the butterflyfish's false eye,β Jiang Ye explained with a smile, βIt's to confuse predators or create a frightening effect when being hunted.β
γWhat... a fish, that smart?γ
γI feel like watching the streamer's broadcast is like watching a sea nonsense encyclopedia... Anyway, no one knows what's going on, streamer, you're just making it up.γ
βMarine life is far wiser than humans think,β Jiang Ye was too lazy to argue. After collecting the butterflyfish, she also collected the angelfish and batfish.
These fish were not like ocean sunfish or monk seals; they couldn't be summoned or produced, but miraculously, they could be placed in a fish tank to provide buffs.
Jiang Ye glanced at it, not pondering this matter carefully.
It was only then that she realized that the strange blanket octopus from before had been added to her manual at some point.
But she clearly hadn't defeated it?
Was it a bonus for finding an egg?
Jiang Ye shook her head, collected her thoughts, and refocused on the broadcast.
γStreamer, streamer, can these fish be caught?γ
βYes, they can,β Jiang Ye answered this question simply and told everyone how to successfully catch them.
Some viewers were prescient.
γUnderstood, understood. Then if I watch the streamer's broadcast carefully now and remember more knowledge, does that mean that when this island is opened to all players, I can also answer the questions well!γ
Other viewers just gave up.
γCan't remember, too tiring, have to study to play a game? Pfft, no way!γ
γStreamer, don't change the subject, where's the seahorse?γ
γIf you have the guts to brag, you have the guts to find the seahorse.γ
βShh, don't rush,β Jiang Ye's eyes caught sight of a tiny creature.
It was small and yellow, with a mouth like a straw, looking very cartoonish, and its body had segmented patterns, like miniature tree rings.
Its small tail was steadily hooked onto a bit of coral protruding from the edge, attempting to use this method to maintain balance in the flowing seawater and ensure it wouldn't be swept away by the current.
βThis is a seahorse,β Jiang Ye carefully scooped the little guy into her palm, brought it close, and showed it to the viewers in the stream, βLook at the little hook on its tail, it's curled. It uses this to hook onto coral.β
γDid the streamer know the seahorse's characteristics beforehand, which is why she specifically came to the coral reef? ORZ, is this the power of knowledge?γ
γThe guy who said he'd eat shit standing on his head, are you still there?γ
γHello! Where are you!γ
This contrarian player was quite determined, possessing a spirit of not giving up until he reached the Yellow River.
γJust because she said it's a seahorse, it's a seahorse?γ
γBrother, I advise you to take a screenshot and use the Star Network's image recognition.γ
This person, refusing to believe, went to search and, after seeing the real answer, sheepishly left.
Netizens, having nothing better to do and enjoying the show, didn't let him off the hook and posted him on the game forum.
From then on, everyone who saw this player respectfully called him: Brother Standing-on-Head, did you eat shit today?
Jiang Ye wasn't too bothered by this; her trip into the water had been quite rewarding, and the contrarian's behavior had, in a sense, served as a promotion for her.
By the end of the stream, Jiang Ye's viewership had reached two thousand people.
This was a pretty good achievement for the live broadcast channel of "Carefree Wanderer."
After all, with the new server launched and players busy leveling up, clearing dungeons, and completing quests, not many people had the leisure to watch live streams.
Jiang Ye looked at the nearly 50,000 gold coin earnings for the day, clapped her hands in satisfaction, played in the sea with everyone for a while longer, and then came ashore.
I'm Super Fierce, who was initially terrified of the sea, was now reluctant to leave.
I'm Super Fierce: γStreamer, can't you stay in the water a little longer?γ
βYou still want to see the sea?β Jiang Ye asked.
I'm Super Fierce: γYes.γ
βBuy my dried fish, and I'll bring the taste of the sea to you,β Jiang Ye said without hesitation, taking out the dried fish she had sun-dried earlier and enthusiastically promoting it.
I'm Super Fierce: γDamn it.......γ
This person is such a greedy capitalist!
