Jiang Ye acted quickly. After setting this goal, she started her live stream.
This time, she modified the title of her stream room.
"Last Live Stream! Setting Sail for the Deep-Sea Behemoth - The Whale!"
Not long after the title was posted, the stream room's popularity surged.
As soon as she started broadcasting, Jiang Ye already had over two thousand viewers. Everyone who entered asked the same question.
"Why is this the last live stream? Is the streamer not going to stream anymore?"
Facing such questions, Jiang Ye uniformly replied, "Due to changes in work arrangements, I will temporarily not be able to stream the internal testing of the Island Mode for everyone."
"No!!"
"5555 I can't bear to see you go!!"
"Can we all write a petition to the game company? Why cancel the internal test! Do you know that it's precisely because of this stream that I have the motivation to continue playing the game!!"
"Stop talking, my mom also bought a game pod to watch the streamer's live broadcasts. She said she wants to learn how to cook from the streamer."
"No, streamer, please don't go!"
"The departed are gone, but their presence remains TVT If the streamer stops broadcasting in the future, I've decided to paint your beautiful face on paper and stick it in my room to remind me to work hard and earn money, and buy a house in the game."
Glancing at this comment, Jiang Ye couldn't help but chuckle.
"You're speaking so gloomily, I'm just stopping broadcasting, not dying."
"To us viewers, stopping broadcast is no different from dying QAQ"
"There's no sorrow greater than a dead heart!"
"Enough, all of you." Jiang Ye shook her head, "The more you say, the more absurd it gets."
Amidst a flood of reluctant comments, the special effects font of 'I'm Super Fierce,' the top supporter, stood out prominently.
I'm Super Fierce: "Streamer, did you get some incurable disease!"
"No."
I'm Super Fierce: "Then why aren't you broadcasting anymore."
I'm Super Fierce: "The promised mass production of tomato and egg stir-fry isn't out yet, and we haven't seen the island become better. How can you just stop broadcasting when you say you will?"
"I also really want to see it, but I don't have the chance anymore." Jiang Ye said calmly, "Life, after all, has its gatherings and partings. Perhaps we'll reunite again someday."
I'm Super Fierce: "Liar!"
I'm Super Fierce: "A matchstick's mouth, a liar's ghost!"
Chun Deng Luan, who usually clashed with 'I'm Super Fierce,' was now standing on the same side, also expressing his protest against Jiang Ye's cessation of broadcasting in the public chat. His words were even more absurd than 'I'm Super Fierce.'
Chun Deng Luan: "I didn't expect we'd come to this point. Have I been wrong all these years?"
Chun Deng Luan: "I gave you my youth, my time, my everything, but what about you? You leave just like that, leaving me only with your retreating back."
Jiang Ye looked at these lines of text, her mouth twitching slightly.
"I'm just stopping broadcasting, not abandoning someone and breaking up, hey!"
Chun Deng Luan: "I casually copied some contextually appropriate sentences from the Star Network. Isn't it fitting?"
.....Forget it.
You're the boss.
Whatever you say is fitting.
But then, 'I'm Super Fierce' and 'Chun Deng Luan' actually started chatting in the public chat.
I'm Super Fierce: "......Hey, that 'Deng Luan' guy, are you also watching 'The Overbearing General Kidnapped Me Home After Divorce'?"
Chun Deng Luan: "How did you know."
I'm Super Fierce: "Because the lines you sent..."
They were written by me!!!
'I'm Super Fierce' cried out in his heart.
I'm Super Fierce: "Ahem, you have quite good taste."
In fact, ever since Chun Deng Luan was tricked by Ji Shanshui with online phrases that day, he had searched for a lot of new online knowledge. To understand more, he even opened some romance novels that he would never have read before.
While reading, he frowned, yet he couldn't stop.
Chun Deng Luan: "Can this be considered good taste?"
Chun Feng Luan was very suspicious.
I'm Super Fierce: "You guy...... what do you mean!"
Seeing these two enemies, who had never gotten along since the beginning, about to quarrel, Jiang Ye reached out and rubbed her face, then said to the screen, "Alright, alright, in short, I wanted this opportunity to say goodbye to everyone. We've spent a lot of happy and joyful times streaming together all these days."
Well, mainly she earned a lot of money, and her wallet was bulging.
Jiang Ye didn't say this directly.
"I saw everyone's enthusiasm was very high last time I took you into the sea, so this time I've decided to take everyone into the sea again."
"Our goal today is to find the deep-sea behemoth - the Whale!"
"However, there are too many types of whales, so encountering any specific kind depends on luck. If we're really unlucky and don't find a single whale, you can't complain that my stream is false." Jiang Ye quickly made a joke, "It's the last day, I don't want to ruin my reputation."
"We'll watch whatever you want to stream!"
"Really, streamer, even if you just chat with a matchstick figure on camera every day, I can still watch it!!!"
"It seems the streamer has made up her mind, alas."
"Alright, then let's begin this whale-searching journey!!"
"Are whales those really big ones that spray water? I've only seen them in textbooks and online, never seen a live one."
If the Dalibik System had any outstanding merit, it was that its aquariums were not very common. Generally, only research institutions and conservation organizations had aquariums. Star citizens rarely had the opportunity to truly see anything from the ocean.
Perhaps for those who occupied the highest resources in this system, the ocean was not an unfamiliar existence.
But for others who were of average or below-average standing, the ocean was a sacred land known but unreachable.
Due to the different environments on different planets, ordinary people sometimes needed to make inter-planetary efforts to see the sea.
Being able to experience the ocean immersively in a game's live stream was novel and joyful for them.
This was why everyone was reluctant to see her go.
Furthermore, Jiang Ye's streams were very different from others. Amidst a sea of violent games, Jiang Ye's character, though absurd, conveyed a sense of domestic harmony and tranquil contentment that soothed the soul.
It was very stress-relieving.
Just like now, even if Jiang Ye did nothing, just standing by the sea, letting everyone feel the sea breeze blowing past their ears, seagulls circling in the distance, and waves lapping the shore, the viewers felt a sense of peace.
"My dearest everyone, this time, we will venture deeper and further into the sea. I have already enabled the human body sharing. Those interested can choose to synchronize my sensations. Before that, considering that some viewers might be entering the live room for the first time, or might still be afraid of the sea, I will lead everyone in a breathing adjustment before we go into the water."
Jiang Ye rarely talked so much, and was usually not so considerate. But this time, thinking it was her last broadcast, she couldn't help but be much gentler.
To use an inappropriate analogy, it was like "When a person is about to die, their words are kind."
"Please gently close your eyes and feel all the surrounding sounds. The gentle sigh of the wind, the clamor of the waves." Jiang Ye closed her eyes, calming herself, "Inhale, hold for three seconds. Hold it, three, two, one, exhale."
"Repeat three times."
"If you feel your shoulders becoming heavy, your body's center of gravity sinking, and your soul and consciousness becoming light and floating upwards, like a seabird, spreading its wings and flying. Then I believe you are ready."
Jiang Ye didn't open her eyes. Maintaining her closed-eye posture, she stepped forward. The soft, wet sand crunched under her feet. Occasionally, small stones would prick her, but it was nothing major. In the sunlight, the cool seawater slowly covered her toes, then her feet, moving upwards, engulfing her ankles.
In front of her was darkness, but Jiang Ye was no longer afraid.
The times when she feared the sea had passed. From now on, she knew perfectly well that she was the owner of this island, and the island and the sea coexisted.
She accepted the sea, and the sea would accept her.
Her body gradually sank into the water, and her breathing was momentarily blocked.
On the brink of death, countless things flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. Memories with her parents, her time with Jiang Li, the storm, her parents' boat capsizing, everything being destroyed.
Sinking, constantly sinking.
Jiang Ye let her body fall.
Then, with a whoosh, she opened her eyes.
Everything in the past was in the past. She couldn't be trapped by past pain forever and unable to move forward. Jiang Ye looked at the translucent, shimmering seawater before her, spread her arms, and embraced the waves as if embracing love.
This was her final embrace.
Perhaps she would never have the chance to be with the sea like this again.
Jiang Ye took a deep breath, pushed off with her feet, and like a mermaid, headed towards the deeper, farther reaches of the sea.
"I feel like I deeply synchronized with the streamer just now TVT My past flashed through my mind. I was very scared at first, but when I opened my eyes and saw the blue sea and the lively schools of fish like the streamer, I felt that this was perhaps the essence of life itself."
"Fearless, march forward!"
"I suspect the streamer's spiritual power is at the SS Level... Just now, I felt like my brain was controlled ORZ"
"That must be your imagination, hahaha! SS Level isn't like buying vegetables; they're everywhere."
"This is what happens when you enable human body sharing, don't overthink it. If it were SS Level, she would have already been conscripted by the Empire and sent to the military academy, not playing games here."
Chun Deng Luan, a student at a military academy who was playing the game, saw this comment and silently gave it a thumbs down.
What's wrong?
Can't military academy students have recreational lives?
However...
He was a little more sensitive than the average person.
Chun Deng Luan looked at the figure of the matchstick on the screen, lost in thought.
[Private Chat · Qian Shan Ye: You felt it too, didn't you?]
Lu Jingsui actually messaged him proactively!
Chun Deng Luan jumped up from his seat, spun around three times, then sat back down. He subconsciously adjusted his emotions using the breathing technique Jiang Ye had just demonstrated, then calmly replied:
[Private Chat · Chun Deng Luan: Mmm. What that comment said is correct.]
[Private Chat · Chun Feng Luan: Even if it's just in the game, I felt her spiritual power. It's at least above S Level, and SS Level is still unknown.]
[Private Chat · Qian Shan Ye: Indeed unknown. Perhaps it's even super SS.]
Chun Deng Luan looked at this message in astonishment.
Lu Jingsui was known by the Empire to be super SS.
If he says so... then this streamer...?!
A huge wave of shock surged through Chun Deng Luan.
He never imagined this game had so many hidden talents!
If this streamer is truly a super SS existence, she should have been registered in the Empire's database long ago. Could this streamer be sent by the Empire? But why would the Empire pay so much attention to a game?
Chun Deng Luan couldn't figure it out no matter how much he thought about it, so he suppressed his doubts and refocused his attention on the stream.
At this moment, Jiang Ye had been wandering in the sea for a long time. Monk seals accompanied her, like knights escorting her. This monk seal, appearing for the second time, caught the viewers' attention.
"This thing looks familiar."
"Be polite, it's called a seal."
"Wow! Why does this seal keep following the streamer? Is it the streamer's pet?"
"What! Can you also capture marine animals as pets in Island Mode!"
"Of course you can." Jiang Ye couldn't elaborate, so she left it at that, "It all depends on fate."
After saying this, the monk seal nudged her hand.
Jiang Ye stroked the monk seal and roamed with it in a vast, open sea area, like a snorkeling fish, exposing half of her body to receive the sunlight, feeling the peculiar sensation of both ice and fire.
The skin above the sea surface was roasted by the sun, exuding heat. The temperature below the sea surface was not as high. Although there was a slight warmth, it was worlds apart from sunbathing.
Jiang Ye squinted, looking around.
The surrounding sea was calm, without wind or waves. Forget whales, not even a single fish bubble could be seen.
The comments were also getting anxious.
"Streamer, are we not going to see a whale today?"
"Forget it, forget it. Before, did I look like a whale to you? Around here, it's just water and more water. There are definitely no whales. Sigh, the streamer boasted again."
"What are you saying? The streamer just said it's not guaranteed to encounter a whale. Why talk like that?"
The comments started to argue again, but Jiang Ye didn't really care. After all, viewers who were too vulgar would be automatically detected and warned by the system, and multiple offenses would result in them being kicked out of the stream room.
Her attention was now entirely on her ears.
It was very strange.
Although there were no visible signs before her, and no definite sounds around, she could feel a magnetic field and fluctuations.
It was as if an antenna had sprouted from her head, receiving signals with a "bilibili" sound.
A signal of... slaughter.
Jiang Ye suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around abruptly, and looked back. The previously calm sea surface was now being violently disturbed by an impact. In the distance, it looked like a knife was slicing through the seawater.
But Jiang Ye knew it wasn't a knife.
A huge, white dorsal fin!
Without a word, Jiang Ye recalled the monk seal into her backpack, watching the front warily, a hint of panic in her heart.
But the more flustered she became, the calmer her expression was, even having the leisure to joke with the comments.
"It seems our luck is quite good today. We didn't see a whale, but we did see the Grim Reaper of the sea."
"—The Great White Shark!"
