A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

The yacht arrived at the reef.

Qi Yue surveyed the surroundings.

Several rocks have already emerged from the water, while the remaining massive reef group lies beneath the yacht.

There was nothing else.

"Boss, there's nothing here, and these rocks can't form an island."

"It's so far from the beach, I really don't know what to do."

How to develop it?

Lin Ran thought about it for a moment and realized it was difficult.

Qi Yue looked down into the water but saw nothing.

“I have observed the reefs here. This large area of ​​reefs varies in depth from about ten to thirty meters.”

"This place is far from where people live."

"Logically, there should be a lot of coral and seaweed down there."

"I want to create a diving paradise, a dreamlike underwater world."

"I think this place is just right."

"If we can build it, then everything here will be different."

Qi Yue looked at Lin Ran and shared his opinion.

The underwater world?

Hearing Qi Yue say that, Lin Ran's eyes lit up.

She thought about it for a moment.

Because this place is relatively remote, if we build water recreation facilities here, very few people will come, since there are already too many water recreation facilities in Sanya.

To attract tourists, you must have something irreplaceable.

Although there are many diving spots in Sanya, the ocean itself is unique and cannot be replicated.

Different places have different scenery.

If developed well, it could truly become an excellent viewpoint.

At this moment, Qi Yue changed into his diving suit and fell directly into the sea from the side of the boat, diving all the way down.

He's going to check on the situation here.

The seawater here is very clean.

Sunlight streams through the seawater, and looking up, you can see halos of light shimmering on the surface.

A few small fish swam past Qi Yue and quickly swam away.

Qi Yue traveled all the way to the bottom of the sea.

He saw a lot of seaweed growing on the seabed, constantly swaying, and some tropical fish were hiding among the seaweed.

The scenery was quite beautiful, but there were no corals.

Qi Yue squatted down to examine it and saw traces of broken, bleached coral on the surface of the seabed reef.

"There used to be coral here, but due to changes in the seabed, the coral has changed and died."

"Coral reefs around the world are now declining."

"For example, the Great Barrier Reef, a world-class diving destination, is also experiencing a decline in the number of corals."

"It is possible that in a few decades, the corals of the Great Barrier Reef will disappear."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

This is rather disheartening.

The corals in this area have disappeared.

This is something that no amount of money can change.

Many research institutions are studying ways to save corals, but corals are too fragile. They bleach and die if the seawater changes even slightly, giving them no chance at all.

[Start the mission: Ocean Protector!]

[Mission Description: Help three marine creatures fulfill their wishes!]

[Task Reward: Special Multicolored Coral, a unique type of coral available in multiple colors. It is quite resilient and possesses water-purifying properties. It can be placed within the host's owned marine area.]

[Note: The wishes of the three marine creatures are triggered randomly.]

Suddenly, the system panel popped up, startling Qi Yue.

I never expected to be on a mission at this time!
He was delighted when he saw the mission reward.

Products produced by the system must be of high quality.

Since it's a coral awarded by the system, it must be different from other corals.

With the system rewards, creating a stunning coral reef is a piece of cake.

All we need to do is attract some visitors, and the Coral Sea Scenic Area will be ready to open.

However, this mission is a bit outrageous.

Help three marine creatures fulfill their wishes?

What kind of outrageous task is this?

Where can we help marine life?
Qi Yue floated on the seabed, feeling somewhat lost for a moment.

Just then, a sea fish suddenly appeared in Qi Yue's line of sight.

It even deliberately waved itself in front of Qi Yue's eyes twice, seemingly trying to get Qi Yue's attention.

There are many fish in the sea, so Qi Yue usually doesn't pay special attention to them.

But this fish was different, because Qi Yue could see clearly that it had a glowing golden exclamation mark on its head.

"I go?"

"what's the situation?"

Qi Yue wondered if he was seeing things.

He turned his head and saw three identical fish next to him, each with an exclamation mark above its head.

Moreover, the three fish moved in the same way, swaying right in front of Qi Yue.

They swim a distance and then swim back.

At this point, the system also issued a prompt.

[A marine creature's wish has been detected!] Qi Yue was knowledgeable and experienced, although the system did not tell him what this marine creature's wish was.

But he recognized the three fish as damselfish.

The ocean's diligent "farmer" and excellent ocean purifier.

Damselfish like to find a place to "grow vegetables," planting their favorite food, seaweed, and then taking good care of it.

Coincidentally, the seaweed they grow is also liked by sea urchins.

So, every time a damselfish finds a good reef, plants its favorite seaweed, and then that place will be covered with black, spiky sea urchins.

The vegetable garden was taken over by sea urchins, much to the chamois's chagrin.

They can only carry the sea urchins away one by one.

However, if you're not careful, the vegetable garden will be full of sea urchins, and you can't get rid of them all.

Until one day, the damselfish discovered that humans had come to the sea specifically to find sea urchins.

Thus, the talent for "leading the way" was awakened.

Whenever humans go into the sea, the damselfish always go up to lead the way.

Fishermen who collect sea urchins also like them because sea urchins are valuable, and having damselfish lead the way saves them a lot of trouble.

"So they were damselfish. Their wish was probably for me to help them get rid of the sea urchins."

"Sea urchins are a good thing, and they're quite valuable."

"Since we're already here, we might as well pick them up."

Qi Yue thought to himself.

But with no tools at hand, Qi Yue immediately floated towards the sea.

It soon floated to the surface of the sea.

He was some distance from the yacht when he quickly swam over.

"Lin Ran, open the storage compartment at the back of the yacht and get me that long cage and that fork."

"It's the one with the sea urchin forked."

Qi Yue leaned over the side of the boat and spoke to Lin Ran.

"Okay, boss."

Lin Ran hurriedly went to look for it and found it in no time, then brought it to Qi Yue.

"Boss, weren't we going to see coral? Why are we using this?"

Lin Ran was a little curious.

"It's alright, if we find some sea urchins, we'll just fork a whole cage of them first."

Qi Yue held the cage and fork in his hands, then cleaned the water from his goggles, adjusted the oxygen tube, and the next second, he sank to the seabed once again.

He reached the seabed and swam forward for a while. Soon after, he saw the damselfish with exclamation marks on their heads appear.

They swam quickly in front of Qi Yue.

They were all very enthusiastic.

It seems to be saying:

"Sir, please come in!"

Qi Yue followed them as they swam deeper into the water.

Continuing forward, after about ten minutes, the seabed ahead became deeper, revealing many pillar-like reefs.

The environment around the reef is quite complex.

Qi Yue saw that the pillar-like rocks were densely covered with black sea urchins.

Upon seeing the sea urchins, Qi Yue immediately picked up a fork and began spearing them one by one into the long cage.

At this moment, the damselfish happily swam around in front of Qi Yue, occasionally twisting its body.

Qi Yue knew this was the rule between humans and damselfish.

As a working fish, it certainly hopes to receive payment.

The flesh inside sea urchins is plump and tender, which is exactly what they love to eat.

But they can't open sea urchins, so they have to rely on humans.

Qi Yue was straightforward. He picked up a sea urchin, tapped it lightly twice with a fork, and the shell broke, revealing the flesh inside.

Upon seeing this, several damselfish immediately rushed over and devoured everything edible.

They were truly happy.

The vegetable garden, which I had worked so hard to cultivate, has finally become tidy.

Qi Yue continued collecting sea urchins and also opened a few for the damselfish to eat.

This kind of fresh seafood is very valuable and is generally hard to come by.

It's like how good mountain produce can't get into the market; it's usually bought up as soon as it comes down from the mountain.

Qi Yue happily caught sea urchins on the seabed.

Go to a seafood restaurant tonight and ask the owner to cook something; it'll definitely be a great meal.

The damselfish fish circled around Qi Yue, looking very happy.

Everything was wonderful.

We continued until all the sea urchins were harvested.

System notification: Marine life wish progress: 1/3
Sure enough, one was completed.

Then, Qi Yue carried a full cage of sea urchins and headed towards the surface of the sea.

The remaining few damselfish happily surveyed their territory, taking the opportunity to carefully tend to the seaweed.

The sea is still a bit shaky, but Qi Yue likes it very much.

The seawater is very clear, allowing sunlight to shine directly in.

There are many small fish around.

All you need to do is add some more coral.

This is an underwater paradise.

His underwater paradise. (End of Chapter)
