Yu Yu, who has been in the industry for three years but remains neither popular nor notorious, senses that she might have to quit the circle and go back to manual labor soon.
However, before ...
"Sea Area Manager? What the hell is that? How did they register so many accounts on different platforms overnight? I've already seen it on several popular platforms."
"What's so strange about this? It's just registering an account. I guess he's a newbie, or someone who likes to be in the spotlight, who would do something like this? Hasn't something similar happened before?"
"No, no, no, registering an account isn't the point. The point is that I just accidentally scrolled down to the follow bar on Facebook, and you know what I saw? Will, Joel, Bill, and Justin!"
"?"
“???”
“???”
All of a sudden, many symbols representing questions appeared under this statement, and then there was a moment of stagnation, as if everyone was running to confirm this matter.
Then, after a few minutes, another symbol suddenly exploded wildly.
“!!!!!!!!!!!”
"Holy crap! They really are those people. They're not fake, they're really their frequently used accounts!"
"It's not just Facebook, but other platforms as well. Those people are also following this new account. Even though it was only registered for a day, they added it almost instantly!"
So, the question is, who is this new account?! They were able to instantly add the four big guys as their friends, and they weren't even from the same social circle. Could it be a friend of the Will brothers?
Not only that, the netizens who first noticed this account found that one after another, many extraordinary accounts also followed this "ocean manager".
And if you pay a little more attention, you will find that those extraordinary characters added later are more or less related to Will, Joel, Bill and others. Does this mean that the three Will brothers used their network of relationships for such a new account?
You know, Will's third brother has a strong and unique personality. It's always been others who ask for favors, and he almost never asks for favors from others. And now, they're actually using their own connections just to register a new account?! Oh my god... It's terrifying to think about it! Who exactly is this newly registered "Ocean Manager"?!
Almost subconsciously, everyone couldn't help but look at the self-introduction of this "Ocean Manager" on his homepage. It was simple and blank, with only a few inexplicable words:
1. It can find any marine life for you, as long as it still exists.
Second, you can enjoy an absolutely fresh and rich seafood feast, as long as you can afford the high price.
3. We can let you see the beautiful world on the other side of the ocean, as long as you are brave enough to contact us.
Note: Ocean managers do not accept any cases of harm to the ocean. Violators will be permanently blacklisted and rejected by the ocean.
These are some baffling points. The last two seem like ordinary seaside people developing experiential tourism. But what about the first point? It seems extremely arrogant. Can you find all the marine life in the sea for you? As long as it is not extinct?
How is this possible? You have to know that some marine creatures cannot be seen whenever you want. There are even very few documents proving their existence. But I haven't seen one in person for almost ten years. Are you bragging?
Not many people believe that this can be achieved, but sometimes, there are always some people who obviously don’t believe it but always like to make trouble and come to you on their own initiative.
David is such a guy. His uncle is a seed player of the "World Desert Island Survival" competition and he always ranks in the top ten in almost every session. His uncle told him that the ocean resources may be rich, but the marine creatures cannot be seen whenever you want. How can you see them whenever you want as long as you are still alive?
With this in mind, David contacted the 'ocean manager' according to the above method and said bluntly, "I want to see sharks. Can you let me see the world's largest and most ferocious great white shark?"
"Only great white sharks, right?"
"No, not just great white sharks, but also other sharks, whale sharks, tiger sharks, and many other sharks. No, I should say I want to see all the sharks that exist in the world!"
"Are you sure it's all existing shark species?"
"Exactly. Why? Didn't they say that any marine life could be found? As long as they're not extinct. Could it be that all your declarations are false?"
This statement is full of provocation, almost directly saying that you, the so-called ocean managers, don't tell such lies if you don't have the ability! It's disgusting!
However, just as David was about to say something else, intending to silence the ocean manager and expose him on Facebook, the other party suddenly responded. He said this:
"Yes, but it will take three days and cost a lot. We will send it to you in the form of a video."
"In the form of a video? How do I know if you're not using some fake video to fool me?"
"We support authenticity verification. If you discover any false traces within one year, you will receive ten times the compensation. Of course, if you still think the video cannot be identified, you can also refer to the third item we listed. We can take you to experience another side of the ocean, but we recommend that you selectively view one or two shark species for two reasons: it will take longer and the cost will be relatively high."
The third point listed? David paused, thinking back to the third point from the ocean manager. It seemed like it was about seeing the other side of the ocean or something, but didn't that mean taking you diving? There were plenty of similar tourism industries in coastal tourist cities. So, was that what the third point meant?
David was stunned, his face full of doubt, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was true or not. Well, he would know whether it was true or not when the time came. Besides, David was indeed not short of money. After thinking about it, he paid the money for watching the videos of all shark species in one go and left his contact information.
So, at the appointed time three days later, David received the large compressed package of video footage from the 'Ocean Manager' on time. To be honest, David had many guesses about this large package of video footage, such as it was a fake video, or a video of dozens of sharks.
But David couldn't be fooled by these. He was a lover of deep-sea creatures and liked and knew a lot about them, especially sharks. Sharks were his favorite. In order to be able to take photos with sharks, he even went to obtain many deep-sea diving certificates.
Of course, those are sharks that are not so aggressive and have less violent temperaments, such as whale sharks. If it weren't for the life-threatening danger of photographing aggressive sharks, David would definitely have included more shark species, but this still can't stop him from loving sharks as a marine creature.
However, after he successfully relieved the pressure, David froze. He suddenly jumped up in excitement and locked himself in his room for three days and three nights. On the third day, he rushed out with red eyes. However, his emotions were extremely excited. He immediately found his uncle's contact information and shouted:
"Uncle, uncle, you have no idea what I've encountered. That 'ocean manager' might actually be real. Oh, let's not talk about that for now. Uncle, don't you know a marine life research expert? Can you introduce him to me? I want him to help me identify a few species..."
David's uncle, Hal, who was on the other end of the line, was completely bewildered. However, knowing David's usual outgoing nature, he didn't ask any further questions and directly introduced him to Professor Chris. Not long after that day, Hal's phone was flooded with calls from Professor Chris. As soon as the call was connected, he heard Professor Chris excitedly asking who the 'ocean manager' was!
"Oh my God, Hal, please introduce me to the ocean manager. Those are actually ancient shark species, and not just one, but more than a dozen. Some of them we speculate to be extinct. Not only that, we also saw some sharks we have never seen before. Oh my God, what a great academic discovery this is! I must confirm more details..."
Hal was stunned for a long time before he realized that Professor Chris was talking about the videos he had mentioned to David yesterday. But was this really possible? Could the videos be fake?
This forced Hal to contact David urgently to explain Professor Chris's attitude and his doubts about the authenticity of the video.
David's attitude towards this is unusually positive:
"No, I also thought it might be fake at first, but the moment I saw the video, I immediately rejected this idea, uncle. It's not because of anything else, it's simply because these videos cannot be copied, and they are real-time videos. I didn't ask to see any specific species of sharks, I only asked for all existing shark species, but I received some sharks that are presumed to be extinct and have not yet been discovered!"
"Also, uncle, have you noticed? Every video has the Beal Technology logo on it, which means that all of these videos are backed by Beal Technology, and Beal Technology never produces fake stuff!"
When David told Hal in detail about his discovery and contact with the 'Ocean Manager', Hal was shocked and couldn't help but go to Facebook to look for the 'Ocean Manager' account.
Unlike the deserted and unpopular account a few days ago, within just a few days, the "Ocean Manager" account was flooded with comments. It seemed that the arrogance of this account, which had just appeared, made many people conduct tests like David.
Who would have thought that this 'ocean manager' would bring them great surprises? Just as he listed, he could find all the marine creatures for you and take you to see a different side of another world.
"Oh my god, you can't even imagine it. I saw over a dozen endangered dolphins, dancing the dolphin dance around us! I was going crazy!"
"Hahaha, you have no idea who I met! Professor Chris, the famous marine biologist. His eyes were almost bulging out of his head as he looked at those marine creatures, muttering "impossible" while frantically taking notes. If the crew hadn't forced him off the boat, he would have refused to leave!"
"Hey, hey, hey, is this the point? Have you noticed that the people who greeted us, whether it's the captain or the crew, all look very distinctive? Especially the one who greeted us named Jing, he's so tall and handsome that it makes you scream!"
"It seems that Captain Whale Shark is very popular. According to my suggestion, Whale Shark can be included in the reception team of the second main project~" Yu Yu couldn't help but marvel at the comments in the background.
In the old Weber manor, the antique European-style living room was crowded with a group of people, or to be more precise, a large group of sea creatures, who were crowded in the living room to accept the first phase of the trial operation of the "Ocean Manager".
Each sea tribe sent some representatives ashore to contact the land. Little A Ba also gathered at the old manor a few days ago, and the new leader of the giant whale tribe, the killer whale, arrived this morning, bringing with him several young and curious whale people.
The mermaid tribe is the mermaid guard represented by Billy. They have been on land for a long time and have some understanding of the rules on land. They are the most suitable.
The Octopus Clan also sent familiar figures: the three brothers and a few relatively stable clansmen. The Giant Shark Clan's captain, the White Shark, led a small team of border guards ashore. Or, to be more precise, they were the only sea creature Yu Yu specifically requested to come ashore, to "make amends" for their previous mistakes.
Because of this, even though Captain Whale Shark and his guards were very reluctant and uncomfortable, they had no choice but to come ashore and, like other sea creatures, accept the "orders" received from various platforms, such as viewing all existing shark species.
This order is neither difficult nor easy. For the giant shark family, it only takes a few minutes to gather all the sharks, except for those living in special environments. The difficulty lies in the fact that when a group of big men start filming the video, each one is more shy than the other. If the order had not stipulated that it must be completed and sent out within three days, it would probably take a century to shoot.
In addition, there is the third point that Yu Yu put on the homepage. Guests will be taken to see the marine creatures they want to see, but they cannot touch them and must keep a safe distance unless the marine creatures are willing to be touched.
After Bill and Will's calculations, the pricing for this project was unusually high, but it successfully screened out visitors of a certain level. This was Will's opinion, and also Yu Yu's intention.
However, what Yu Yu never expected was that he originally thought that the mermaids who were more familiar with the rules on land and more handsome would be the most popular, but in reality the giant sharks who rarely came ashore were more popular.
Especially Captain Whale Shark, who used the alias "Jing" on land and seemed to be extremely popular with the girls. As a result, every day when he came back from outside, Captain Whale Shark's face would turn red and he would look extremely embarrassed, as if he was always embarrassed by those enthusiastic girls.
But it must be said that within just a few days, their popularity skyrocketed due to their unique style. Everyone who is a deep-sea enthusiast knows about the "Ocean Manager". Some marine life research experts have even become their loyal fans and would rather stick to them 24 hours a day.
But thanks to the full support of this group of authoritative professors, it didn't take long for the operation of the 'Ocean Manager' account to be on the right track, and now is the time.
According to Yu Yu's original plan, she was going to ask her three brothers and Justin to help with publicity. After all, they were all public figures, but Justin thought about it and gave Yu Yu another suggestion.
"If that's the case, I suggest bringing along that kid from the Bei tribe. Even though he's a bit of a playboy, he's been ashore for several years. Furthermore, in terms of popularity, he's definitely no less popular than us. Maybe the results will be even better."
"The Bei Clan? Is this the last remaining sea clan among the five major sea clans? Wait, didn't we invite the Bei Clan to participate in this plan?"
"Yes." Justin nodded in response.
"But I don't seem to have seen any members of the Bei tribe?" Yu Yu couldn't help but frowned. Not to mention having seen any members of the Bei tribe, he hadn't even received any news from the Bei tribe. If Justin hadn't mentioned it, Yu Yu would have almost forgotten about it.
"Does the Bay Tribe dislike us? Or are they resisting coming ashore and contacting us?"
"Quite the opposite." Justin shook his head.
"Although our mermaids are well-suited to interacting with humans due to our appearance, the Deep Sea Clan adapted to land long before the mermaids. Unlike the other four sea tribes, the Deep Sea Clan's offensive and defensive capabilities are weak, but they are highly adaptable, extremely curious, and value freedom. Therefore, they have long been unable to resist sneaking ashore and mingling on the mainland. This generation's Deep Sea Clan leader, Beck, especially hates being restricted."
"If that's the case, then why haven't we received any news from the Bay Tribe...?"
"Well, that kid Baker probably didn't see what he said. He always takes several days to reply to my messages..."
However, before Justin could finish his words, he was subconsciously interrupted by the White Shark Chief.
"He took several days to reply? No way? He asked me yesterday if the leader of the Giant Whale Clan had changed recently. He seemed to have sensed a change in the leader's aura, and even asked if that boring fellow killer whale had become the leader..."
The white shark is straightforward and never thinks before speaking. He says almost whatever comes to his mind. So, when he said this directly, he was immediately faced with the expressionless faces of Chief Justin and Chief Killer Whale.
“…”
"Emmm... I feel like I said something wrong. Here, don't look for me. Just find that kid Baker. He's the one who's itching for trouble." The White Shark leader quickly waved his hands to distance himself from the matter.
"It's okay, we can just go and block them." At this moment, Justin was no longer expressionless. Instead, he showed an even brighter smile, which made the sea creatures present tremble a few times, especially the white shark leader, who subconsciously couldn't help but move a little further away.
