A leisurely life: I have a scenic area

[Mission Description: Capture two species of whales in the ocean.]

[Quest Rewards: Random Skill *1, Random Item *1]

[Description: In uncharted waters, find the spirits of the ocean.]

Qi Yue appeared on the sea with a mission.

We need to film two types of whales.

So today we set sail to find whales.

It is said that there is a sea here where whales often appear. Qi Yue completed the relevant procedures and then drove the yacht out to sea.

Following the guidance of the satellite map, we headed towards the distance.

A moist sea breeze brings a touch of coolness.

Upon closer inspection, the seawater leans towards a deep blue, not so bright, but it stretches as far as the eye can see, making one feel insignificant when looking around.

The live stream will start simultaneously.

People kept joining the live stream.

Netizens were curious about where Qi Yue was and kept sending comments asking him.

Qi Yue sat on an open-air soft chair on the deck. The chair and the table next to it were fixed in place, and there was also a parasol next to him.

He explained to netizens:

"I should be in the Pacific Ocean in the Southern Hemisphere right now. I've heard there's an area with a lot of whales, and I want to go see some whales today."

"I've been busy with work lately, so I came out to experience a different kind of energy field."

Upon hearing his words, everyone immediately understood where he was and responded in unison:

[Southern Hemisphere? Where did they go?]

Wow, this is true freedom!

【Qi Ge's every day is my ideal life!】

The sea view was stunning at first glance, but the same scenery along the way became a bit boring.

Qi Yue held a telescope and gazed at the sea.

The sea surface was filled with endless waves rolling, but there was no sign of any whales.

"Boss, have you seen a whale?"

Zhao Rou came out of the cabin and asked.

She wore a white floral maxi dress, black slippers, and a light pink sun hat, showing off her slender figure and looking youthful and beautiful.

Not yet, let's see.

"There should be."

Qi Yue put down his binoculars, somewhat disappointed.

Finding whales in the ocean is purely a matter of luck; some people go out to sea for months on end and still may not see any trace of whale activity.

It's even more impossible to go out of your way to search for it.

"The ocean is so vast that it's really not easy to find it."

Qi Yue sighed.

"Who knows? I think I'm pretty lucky today, I'm sure I'll see it."

Zhao Rou smiled and encouraged her.

"Yes, that's right."

Qi Yue continued to survey the sea. His telescope allowed him to see very far, and the scenery of the ocean was laid out before him.

Several white seabirds followed behind the fishing boat, and if they spotted a fish surfacing, they would swoop down and snatch it up.

These seabirds have mastered a way of interacting with humans.

The live stream footage looked pretty good.

Qi Yue, feeling utterly bored, sat down in a chair and drank a cup of coffee.

Just then, a system notification suddenly appeared.

[Traces of whales detected in the vicinity]

Upon seeing this notification, Qi Yue's expression changed.

This task even has a hint function.

That's convenient.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult. After all, finding whales is already very difficult, not to mention that whales don't always surface, making them even harder to find.

Qi Yue immediately stood up and looked around.

Seeing him looking through binoculars, netizens found it quite amusing.

What's the captain looking at? Let me see!

[Take a screenshot, make a meme, and call it "Secretly Observing"!]

[The equipment is so professional, I must have been a pirate in my past life!]

[Brother Qi, are you trying to become the Pirate King?]

Netizens made fun of it.

Qi Yue discovered some clues, so he took out his walkie-talkie and said...

"Liu Hua, shift the course 30 degrees to the right and reduce the speed."

He gave instructions.

Liu Hua followed his instructions, leaving some viewers in the live stream confused.

"Why did you slow down? Did you notice?"

Hearing Qi Yue's words, Zhao Rou, who was standing nearby, quickly came over to ask, and even stood on tiptoe to look into the distance.

"Hmm, there's some noise over there, maybe a whale."

Qi Yue pointed into the distance and nodded.

Zhao Rou looked around carefully, but after a long time she saw nothing but a vast ocean.

Viewers couldn't see anything from the live stream footage.

[Brother Qi, are you hallucinating?]

Where did the whale come from?

Qi Yue didn't explain much, he just drove the yacht forward.

The drone took off high, taking in the view of everything in front of it.

The view was expansive, but no one saw anything.

Qi Yue observed carefully, and just then, a towering wave suddenly rose up in the open space. Everyone was curious about what it was.

Then we saw a huge black spine emerge from the seawater.

Its spine is almost bigger than a yacht, resembling a long, narrow island.

Upon seeing this, netizens exclaimed in amazement.

Holy crap! That's huge! Is that a whale?

[My megalophobia is acting up, is it really that big?]

[That looks like a submarine!]

[Wow, it's like an island!]

Qi Yue's eyes lit up with joy when he saw the whale.

"It's a blue whale, the largest whale in the world!"

"That's a bit unexpected, I didn't expect it to be a blue whale!"

Qi Yue spoke up.

Just then, another long, narrow island emerged next to the blue whale.

To everyone's surprise, there were actually two blue whales here!

The second one was noticeably smaller, like a cub.

Everyone was even more surprised.

"My goodness, the whale is huge!"

Zhao Rou let out a sound of surprise.

Hearing the commotion outside, Lin Ran got up and went out to see what was going on.

Upon seeing the blue whales on the sea, I immediately began to admire them with great interest.

Qi Yue, however, sensed something was amiss.

Something's not right. This big whale seems to be dead.

“Look closely, it’s floating sideways.”

"He must be dead."

Qi Yue's words surprised everyone.

Zhao Rou covered her mouth, a look of shock flashing in her eyes, and Lin Ran looked on in disbelief as well.

The viewers in the live stream were even more surprised.

Is this giant whale dead?
Then, Qi Yue continued:
"The whale has indeed been dead for a while, but there's no need to be too sad."

"Because this blue whale is so big and has no wounds, it must have died naturally at the end of its lifespan."

“Whales that die of natural causes will float on the surface of the sea for a while.”

"After it falls, its body will nourish countless marine life, completing a cycle."

Hearing him say that, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Natural death is a natural law that cannot be avoided, and for whales, it is a good thing.

However, the little whale next to it would surface from time to time, swimming around the dead whale, looking somewhat sad.

Seemingly sensing someone approaching, the little whale let out a series of mournful cries.

That sound filled one's heart with regret.

Zhao Rou was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to watch such a scene, so she turned around and went back to her cabin.

Qi Yue never expected to see such a scene.

The viewers in the live stream found it strange.

[It's a dead whale! How rare!]

One whale fall, a myriad of lives; the death of a whale can sustain countless marine creatures!

No wonder it was so big; it turned out to be a whale that had died of old age. It must have been the largest whale ever!

[It's like an isolated island, so spectacular!]

The yacht was some distance from the whale when Liu Hua stopped it.

No one expected that Qi Yue's live stream at sea would capture such a scene.

The scene was quite stunning.

Just then, Qi Yue's walkie-talkie rang; it was Liu Hua's voice.

"Boss, the radar shows there are many blue whales underwater. I need to move the boat further away to avoid the whale pod."

"There are at least a dozen of them, we need to be careful."

Qi Yue hurriedly replied:

"Okay, then move it away quickly."

Accompanying this whale carcass were not only a baby blue whale, but also other companions.

Blue whales live together as a family.

Before long, blue whales began to emerge from the surrounding sea.

This scene was truly shocking; netizens felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing so many enormous blue whales.

"Pfft~"

Just then, a blue whale spouted a jet of water, and white water droplets exploded in the air.

Then, other blue whales followed suit.

Instantly, the sea surface was covered with columns of water.

The scene was spectacular, leaving viewers stunned as they watched the live stream.

"My God, this is spectacular."

Qi Yue couldn't help but sigh.

I originally went out to sea just to see whales, but I didn't expect to see this scene.

This scene was captured on camera and is destined to be passed down through generations.

A pod of blue whales is bidding farewell to a dead whale.

Each one resembles a moving island.

Yachts look tiny compared to them.

Qi Yue watched this scene quietly, observing the blue whale's carcass drifting on the sea, as if he too were attending this unique funeral.

As a witness. (End of Chapter)
