"Hey, Ah Hai, you're really lucky! Where did you catch two big crabs? Wow, Jingjing, you're amazing! Ah Hai caught two blue crabs, and you caught four lobsters. Did you guys raid a lobster burrow?"
Bai Yu had just returned to the meeting point when he heard Li Shuang's exclamation from ahead, so he quickly took a few steps forward.
Then he saw a scene that left him speechless: Wang Hai was carrying two large, tied-up blue crabs in one hand. These crabs were really big, each weighing more than a pound.
The other thing she was carrying was even more outrageous: a net bag filled with all sorts of scallops, conches, and even two sea cucumbers.
Sea cucumbers? There are sea cucumbers on this island?
Then Bai Yu looked at the things he and Li Xue were carrying. What had initially made him quite happy suddenly seemed less appealing after the comparison.
Both Wang Hai and Bai Yu wandered around the bushes, and while Wang Hai made some gains, Bai Yu also had some, though his gains were much less substantial.
Bai Yu and Li Xue brought back only a few coconuts, a few scallops, oysters and abalone.
"Ah Hai, Xia Jing, you also found a stream on this island? You caught all these things in the stream?"
Strangely enough, all the things Bai Yu found were discovered in a stream on the island.
At first, Bai Yu thought it was a freshwater stream, but after fetching water, he realized he was mistaken. It was actually a seawater stream, with the water coming from the waves outside.
At the source of this stream is a rocky beach with a relatively large rocky pit, from which the stream flows out.
“Brother Yu, you also found that stream. It’s a pity it’s a saltwater stream. If it were freshwater, we wouldn’t have run out of water these past two days on the island.”
"Not only will we not lack water, but we will also not lack seafood. Brother Yu, Wang Hai and I found a lot of seafood in this stream. We saw no less than twenty crabs, and there were quite a few lobsters as well."
However, these creatures are quite fast in the stream, and Wang Hai and I didn't bring much with us, so catching them is a bit inconvenient. I suggest we try again later.
The stream that Bai Yu encountered was also encountered by Wang Hai and his companion, but they were luckier than Bai Yu, as they also made a good harvest while discovering the stream.
“Okay, Jingjing’s idea is good. Brother Xiaobai, we’re short on funds right now. Tonight we can go to the place where Jingjing and the others catch lobsters and crabs. No matter how many or how few we catch, we can still make a little money.”
"Okay, I have no objection. By the way, where's Ah Sheng? Why hasn't he come yet?"
“Ah Sheng has already found a suitable camping spot over there. He took his things and went ahead. I’ll wait for you here.”
"Let's hurry up and set up the tent first. We can talk about other things later."
......
Bai Yu and the others naturally agreed with Xia Jing's idea, especially since, as Li Xue said, their current funds were limited, and they still needed to earn some money while having fun.
Bai Yu and the others then followed Li Shuang toward the west side of the island. After walking for only a few minutes, Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin appeared before them.
Along with them came three tents, and Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin are currently working on the last one.
"Hey, Ah Sheng, did you two do this? You've worked hard. We'll treat you to a nice meal tonight. Now you can rest for a bit, and we'll take care of the rest."
Bai Yu watched Lu Sheng and Zhang Yuxin busy at work. Of course, the rest of them couldn't just let the two of them do the work while they stood by and watched.
Then they quickly ran over and took over the task of setting up the tent from Lu Sheng.
"Brother Yu, how's your exploration of this island going? Have you found anything of value? What should we do tonight?"
After handing over his work to Bai Yu and the others, Lu Sheng also asked about the plans for the evening.
Although they came out to travel the world, there were certain rules to follow regarding how they traveled and how they enjoyed themselves.
On this deserted island, there are very few things to do or enjoy, which is why Lu Sheng asked that question.
"Ah Sheng, do you have any good suggestions? My idea is that we light a bonfire on the beach, have a barbecue, and look at the stars, how about that?"
Bai Yu wasn't going to tell the truth; she just wanted to tease Lu Sheng.
Upon hearing what Bai Yu said, Li Shuang and the others silently lowered their heads, afraid that they might burst out laughing later.
"Let's make a campfire? That would be great! What food did we bring? I think there should be a leg of lamb on the ship, right? Should I go back to the ship and get it?"
Bonfire and barbecue – this is Lu Sheng's comfort zone. He's from Inner Mongolia, and he's done these things quite often before.
"No, we won't roast the lamb leg. We need to conserve the supplies on the ship. Tonight, let's find something to eat on the small island. Look what I just brought over: coconuts and seafood."
Let's go beachcombing tonight and see if we can catch some lobsters and crabs. If we can, we can have some crabs and lobsters tonight to tide us over.
"Wow, Brother Yu, you're amazing. The lamb leg I mentioned is something we have all grown ourselves, but you come up with crab and lobster right away, and even just a simple side dish. You're really something."
"What's there to be afraid of? There's an old saying: 'The bolder the man, the greater the harvest.' We're still young, so we should definitely be bold and daring."
Besides, if we actually catch lobsters and crabs today, anything is possible.
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Lu Sheng realized what was happening.
These people were classmates for four years in college and now work together, so they all know each other very well. Bai Yu never speaks without reason, so if Bai Yu said so, it means there must be something good on this island.
"Okay, then we'll do as Brother Yu says. We'll have lobster and crab tonight."
Then they got to work seriously. After setting up the tent, they went to the bushes behind the tent to collect some dry branches and leaves, preparing for a bonfire party that night.
After finishing everything, it was already four or five o'clock. Although it wasn't dark yet, it was getting late, as the sun was already setting.
At that moment, Bai Yu took out a tripod, placed a camera on it, connected it to the internet, and prepared to start broadcasting.
They were currently only three or four hundred meters away from the yacht, and the signal base station on the yacht could cover their area.
Since they had already told their fans that they would go live and chat with them whenever they had the chance while on their sea voyage.
The current time is right in that blurry, almost-dark period, and Bai Yu and the others don't have much to do right now, so they might as well start a live stream and chat with their viewers.
His camera was connected to Bai Yu's laptop, and once they were all ready, he was ready to start broadcasting.
Because Baiyu is now on a small island with limited resources, he will only be doing this live stream on one platform today. The first day it will be on Douyin, and the second day it will be on Kuaishou, trying to make the most of the platform.
After adjusting the basic settings, Bai Yu turned on the live stream.
Although this wasn't Bai Yu's first time livestreaming, it was the first time his own account had ever done so—the first livestream of an account with over 100 million followers.
As soon as the live stream lit up, it was empty for the first three seconds, but then it froze.
It also froze for three seconds before the live stream resumed smooth playback. By then, the number of viewers had already exceeded 10,000, and it was still rising.
There's no way around it, Bai Yu's popularity is just too high right now.
Since he announced before the Lunar New Year that Yuxue Shipping Company would donate 65 million to build a Type 055 destroyer, he has only wished his fans a Happy New Year once, and has not made any further appearances.
All other messages were announcements, and the kind that were only announced without any follow-up.
Now that Bai Yu has started broadcasting, how could his fans and admirers not be excited?
What's more, today is Bai Yu's first live stream, so everyone has to be there to support her. Many netizens are already preparing to send her gift cards and light sticks.
But just as they were about to do so, they encountered a problem: why couldn't they send gifts? What does it mean that the streamer hasn't enabled gift-sending permissions?
Then the chat in the live stream started scrolling rapidly, and the number of viewers also increased rapidly, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, half a million, and one million.
Every second of the refresh was accompanied by a massive influx of viewers; for mobile users, the number of viewers in the live stream was consistently only over 100,000.
Since starting his broadcast, Bai Yu hadn't said a word. He just silently watched the screen until the number of viewers in the live stream reached five million before slowly stopping. Then he cleared his throat and prepared to speak.
