Chapter 652

It was just a pity that this time Yu Ningchen came here alone; the person who should have come with him did not arrive.

A dim expression flashed across Yu Ningchen's face. The viewers in the live broadcast room, possessing eyes like fire, saw the fleeting look on Yu Ningchen's face and immediately spoke.

"I see the streamer's expression... something is wrong. It looks like he thought of something."

"The one ahead is new, right? This streamer and his girlfriend share a moving love story, so even now, he is still searching for his girlfriend."

It seemed that every so often, someone in the live broadcast room would explain these things to newcomers; ordinary people who wanted to travel across Dajiangnanbei but were trapped in the city would try to watch travel check-in live streams.

Having watched so much, Yu Ningchen was definitely one of the top check-in streamers.

After all, Yu Ningchen spoke little, was handsome, deeply affectionate, and capable; all these combined made him an ideal choice for love.

Some came to see the beautiful scenery, some were moved by Yu Ningchen's moving love story, and others came simply to appreciate Yu Ningchen's looks.

Yu Ningchen was fundamentally different from those ordinary streamers; ordinary streamers broadcast for money, so they had more concerns in speech and action, needed to consider the audience's thoughts, but could not cover everything perfectly.

Yu Ningchen was different; he spoke little during broadcasts, but through system regulation, he could display the most natural and real scenery before these viewers, which was already extremely rare, so naturally he possessed a large crowd of viewers.

511. Arriving at Haidao, remembering old matters

Occasionally, some exceptional bullet comments were sent out.

"I remember the seaside island hasn't allowed people in for two years; last year my girlfriend and I went and were stopped. Could it be open again?"

"Be confident; it's because you aren't rich enough. I asked around last month; the reason is renovation, so they won't let us in. How rich is this streamer?"

"Indeed, there's even a private plane; we really can't afford to climb that high. This place, we might as well not go."

"No, why do I feel the bullet comments are sour? Although this resort place is indeed beautiful, it's not like we must go. At worst, after it opens, we just won't go."

Many people echoed the bullet comments above; Yu Ningchen glanced at them, then laughed.

But after laughing out loud, he acted as if nothing happened and slowly wandered on the beach.

Actually, to reach the real seaside island, one still had to take a boat; there were actually many people on this beach, mostly taking advantage of the holiday to relax, but there were no boats at the shore. Yu Ningchen narrowed his eyes, gazing at the small island on the sea.

Called a small island, its area was actually not small; it could accommodate many people, and the scenery was quite good, with coconut trees and seats, suitable for resting.

Before the seaside island was mentioned for renovation, it was already a popular scenic spot; every holiday, many people came here to check in; everyone seemed to like this relaxed and comfortable classic style, and this scenic spot had always earned considerable income.

It was just unknown why, two years ago, it stopped welcoming guests, always using renovation as an excuse.

But oddly, when those with wealth and power were idle, with fewer people, for those people it was actually more leisurely.

Just like this time Yu Ningchen went, there was a dedicated small boat to ferry him.

Yu Ningchen did not get seasick; from here to the island took about ten minutes; in these ten minutes, one could just happen to appreciate the scenery along the way.

During this time, the viewers in the live broadcast room could just happen to appreciate the scenery here; although they had not yet reached the seaside island, the surrounding scenery was indeed very good.

Those viewers all took screenshots to record; ten minutes later, Yu Ningchen's small boat stopped beside the island, and around the small boat, a yacht was already moored.

Yu Ningchen did not care about this; meeting anyone on the island had no effect on the task completion.

This place was indeed green mountains and clear waters; although Yu Ningchen's mood recently had not been very good, after going ashore, he felt the air here was unexpectedly fresh.

The island was not small, so some homestays were arranged; Yu Ningchen glanced at the task, which said he had to stay here for one night for the task to be complete; barring accidents, he would have to find a homestay in a while.

Regarding accommodation, the system had not arranged anything for Yu Ningchen; Yu Ningchen needed to find accommodation himself; however, fortunately, at this time there were not many people on the island, so taking two turns to find a homestay was not too late.

After getting off the boat, Yu Ningchen originally wanted to walk around the island, but found walking along the island took too much time; the inside of the island was more fun.

Coconut trees were planted on the island, growing very pleasingly; some even hung heavy coconuts; since there were hardly any tourists coming, there were no staff selling things in the scenic area, and the coconuts hung on the trees unharvested.

Yu Ningchen looked up at the top of his head and immediately felt eager to try.

The coconuts looked very large, round and plump; Yu Ningchen lived in the northern region, where coconuts, a tropical fruit, were not usually common.

He looked around, bent down to pick up a stone, and felt eager to try.

Throwing the stone upward from below, if one wanted to knock the coconut down, there would be two results.

First, one would smash the coconut directly; second, one would control the accuracy to hit the base of the coconut and catch it before it fell and smashed.

For ordinary people, completing such an operation might be difficult, but for Yu Ningchen, this required hardly any technical skill.

When Yu Ningchen held a stone of suitable size in his hand and tossed it up and down, those viewers stared at Yu Ningchen's actions and asked.

"Is the streamer planning to hit coconuts? Last time I went to the seaside town, I bought a coconut to drink; the coconut juice was quite sweet; getting it for free would not be a loss."

"Uh... forgive me for speaking bluntly, can these coconuts be hit down freely? We all have to pay to buy them."

"Why not? You probably don't know how much it costs to enter the seaside town now. I'll say a number: starting at five figures. How could people who can go there be ordinary? Hitting a coconut is not too excessive, right?"

"Anyway, I think paying so much for a scenic spot that used to have a three-figure ticket is purely stupid; it's completely unnecessary, okay?"

"Indeed, it's not excessive. How much is a coconut? How much is a ticket for scenic spot entry qualification? Anyway, I think if you pay so much, you should get equivalent service."

"There won't really be someone who doesn't know this streamer is actually very rich, right? Someone who can own a private helicopter, five figures is just the cost of a meal."

"No matter what, I just think it's wasting money; maybe my class isn't high enough; experiencing a life where money is spent like water is for the next life."

Actually, putting aside these bullet comments, Yu Ningchen also thought spending five figures to buy a ticket was indeed not worth it; whether it was his past self or his current self, he felt tickets at this price level were somewhat expensive.

Although he now had the ability to earn money, and once earning meant earning big money, money should be spent on the blade; this task must be completed, and moreover, after task completion there were generous rewards.

When walking to the middle of the island, Yu Ningchen suddenly smelled a scent similar to roasted meat; Yu Ningchen looked down at his wristwatch, seeing that it was indeed lunchtime now; the scent was incredibly tempting.

In normal times, Yu Ningchen and Si Shiya would make each other small snacks, and not just to satisfy appetite; both belonged to those who loved life extremely; especially Si Shiya, besides fiddling with these small desserts, she would also remember various anniversaries to prepare small surprises for Yu Ningchen.

The two's love grew deeper under mutual maintenance; Yu Ningchen would go through fire and water for Si Shiya, sparing no time or effort to avenge Si Shiya.

... Yu Ningchen rubbed his brow, realizing his thoughts had diverged again. As time passed, Yu Ningchen not only did not cast Si Shiya from his memory; in the days without her, he missed her more and more day by day.

Yu Ningchen was not someone rich in emotion; it could be said that before meeting Si Shiya, almost no one could stir his heart; Si Shiya was undoubtedly the best gift.

Yu Ningchen walked aimlessly forward, walking in a straight line; he did not know where he was going, nor did he care.

512. Bullying by power, stepping in to teach a lesson

After walking about five minutes, the scent became stronger and stronger, smelling more and more tempting.

Yu Ningchen felt he even heard the "sizzle" of roasted meat in his ears; he licked his lips and increased his pace, walking inward.

The further inward, the cooler it became. The seaside island was in the south, usually quite hot; when walking to the center of the island, he found many coconut trees specially planted here.

The deeper one went, the cooler it became. The seaside island lay in the south and was usually quite hot, but upon reaching the island's center, he discovered that many coconut trees had been specially planted there.

It was very cool, with an occasional wisp of sea breeze drifting in. Ning Chen took a deep breath, regretting why Si Shiya was not here with him at this moment.

By now, having walked this far, he could faintly see the buildings ahead.

Ahead was a beautifully decorated small shop. Outside stood several large sun umbrellas; beside them were two rocking chairs, and between the chairs sat a table with various utensils arranged on it.

Ning Chen took a closer look and realized the utensils were dining ware.

It happened to be mealtime. Under the three sun umbrellas set outside, two were fully occupied, mostly by people who had come here to play with friends.

Ning Chen glanced over, then withdrew his gaze. Sensing that he was indeed somewhat hungry, he stepped into the small shop.

To his surprise, there were actually quite a few people inside the shop, all appearing to be tourists.

The shop had very few seats, but the environment was pleasant, so all the seats were already taken at this hour.

Ning Chen recalled that there seemed to be one spot left outside. Just then, a waiter walked out from inside holding a menu and approached Ning Chen. Ning Chen turned sideways, pointed outward, and said, "Just one person. I'll sit outside."

The waiter smiled and nodded, wrote something on the menu with a pen, then handed Ning Chen a three-dimensional sign.

After taking it, Ning Chen looked at the menu and checked off several dishes.

The service attitude here was quite good. After he finished ordering, the waiter told him to wait outside. Ning Chen hummed in acknowledgment, turned around, and walked out.

But when he reached the doorway, someone had already sat down in the last remaining seat before him.

Ning Chen frowned, walked over, placed the sign on the table, stared at the young man in his twenties before him, and said, "Excuse me, I reserved this seat."

The man was wearing sunglasses. Hearing this, he casually lifted his sunglasses, glanced at Ning Chen, then resumed shaking his leg with an air of self-importance: "It's mine now."

Ning Chen raised an eyebrow, picked up the sign from the table, and slammed it heavily onto the surface. The sound was loud. The man's brow furrowed with impatience, and his tone turned sharp: "What's wrong? What's wrong? What's the problem with sitting? Is your name written on it? Go inside and ask who I am. If I want to, I can buy the entire island! You poor wretch..."

Ning Chen suddenly let out a cold sneer, looking down at the man.

The man had been shaking his leg while looking down at his phone. Perhaps sensing the intense gaze descending from above, he let out a loud, displeased snort, raised his head, and glared back.

Ning Chen did not have such patience or temper. He irritably rubbed the edge of the sign, then issued one final warning: "Get up."

The man did not listen; he even sneered.

The next second, Ning Chen's hand shot out, grabbed the man's collar, lifted him off the chair in an instant, and flung him forward heavily.

Ning Chen's strength was too great. This man, weighing over one hundred and fifty jin, was like a rag doll in his hands. With a light toss, the man stumbled forward several steps.

The crucial point was that he hadn't even regained his balance before falling directly onto the ground, his face buried deep in the sand, choking on several mouthfuls of it.

Ning Chen looked down at the man's wretched state, his expression remaining faint throughout, as if he did not worry about provoking anyone.

The man pulled himself out of the sand, turned his head, spat forcefully to the side several times, stared fiercely at Ning Chen, and said with loathing: "Don't think you'll leave the island... I'll have someone throw you into the sea immediately. You dare challenge me!"

As he spoke, he trembled while pulling his phone from his pocket. Just as he lit up the screen, a pair of sneakers suddenly intruded into his field of vision.

Ning Chen effortlessly snatched the phone from his hand and casually flung it away. The phone landed on the beach several meters away.

Half of Ning Chen's face was buried in shadow; his expression revealed neither joy nor anger: "Who do you plan to call to throw me in? Your fair-weather friends? Your lackeys?"
