Chapter 795 - 331: Shocking Change! From Leisurely Sailing to Younan’s Drifting Chronicle_2

The two girls were staying in one room, looking out for each other, but Jing Chaoyi was different. If she and Liu Li got drunk together, there really wouldn’t be anyone to look after her.

Fortunately, things would get better later because Huang Xiaoyang and his fiancée Dan Dan would be boarding the ship. If a similar situation occurred, Dan Dan could help.

In the following days, the official sea voyage began. Initially, everyone was focused on adjusting, getting used to the ship and life at sea.

For Li Younan, his daily life was quite fulfilling. As a captain at sea, there were many concerns to address.

Although First Officer Qin Yue was experienced and had a calm personality, in Li Younan’s expert captain’s eyes, there was still room for improvement in some areas of decision-making, especially in route judgment, which was only average.

Sticking to the rules was fine, but when some flexibility was needed, whether in situational response or decisiveness, there was a noticeable lack.

Luckily, for the first global voyage, the choice was the equatorial doldrums, which generally posed little danger, so Qin Yue’s ability was mostly sufficient.

In the first few days, besides shuttling between the flying bridge and the engine room to quickly familiarize himself with the ship and streamline everyone’s work into a cohesive unit, Li Younan would occasionally stroll through the living area, giving Lu Zhiqing pointers on cooking, and sometimes improving the crew’s meals by catching seafood himself.

Leaving behind the fishing haven of the Zhoushan Archipelago, catching fish along the way was no easy task, but whenever they anchored, Li Younan consistently caught a few fresh seafood items for everyone to try, though the quantity was just enough for a meal or two.

One must admit, thanks to Li Younan, everyone on the ship enjoyed the freedom of seafood, savoring fresh sea fish every day.

Occasionally, Li Younan would cook a seafood feast for everyone. Of course, the main reason was his own craving, and afterward, Lu Zhiqing’s cooking was often dismissed.

When it came to food, Lu Zhiqing’s prior preparations on the mainland were prescient. Stocking chicken, duck, pork, beef, and lamb, with seafood freely available, made the occasional meal particularly scrumptious.

Compared to Li Younan’s busyness, the crew found themselves in a more balanced state, with tasks to do, but once the voyage settled, they weren’t especially busy, each having plenty of time for personal endeavors.

Everyone collectively thought about livestreaming. At sea, there were no cellular towers, but the ship was equipped with satellite networking equipment, and Li Younan actually had two sets of satellite networks: one for domestic use, and one Starlink system, which worked better in international waters.

However, the signal still lagged a bit when used for livestreaming.

Li Younan supported everyone’s attempts to livestream.

He believed it was great to bring the crew along and make money together.

But things didn’t go as planned; making money from video and livestreaming wasn’t as easy as it seemed.

For instance, Chen Tiefeng’s son, Chen Xinrui, was the first to start livestreaming. Li Younan often saw him on the deck alone, phone in hand, talking non-stop, addressing his viewers as "old iron" and "brothers."

Out of curiosity one day, he went over to take a look: there were three viewers in the stream.

The other crew members were in similar situations.

Honestly, it seemed inexplicable; even if they were riding his wave of popularity, there shouldn’t have been so few viewers.

This puzzled Li Younan for quite some time and he never figured it out.

Beyond the crew, the two girls, Jing Chaoyi, and Liu Li, led a more relaxed lifestyle.

Jing Chaoyi’s main work was in the flying bridge cockpit, familiarizing herself with various instruments and maritime protocols. Her ability to learn was so strong that before long, Qin Yue couldn’t teach her anything professionally except to share his experiences in certain scenarios.

Liu Li’s primary task was filming and editing videos. Even after boarding, Li Younan’s videos kept coming, still maintaining a reputation-based influencer route, rarely embedding ads. Even if there were ads, they were short, less than 10 seconds, and didn’t disrupt viewing.

Yet, despite this, thanks to the excellent viewing experience, each video managed to get over 100,000 likes through professional filming techniques and content editing.

The sea journey hadn’t left the country’s borders yet, and already they encountered many stunning landscapes.

As the latitude steadily moved south, the temperature grew warmer.

Later in Guangdong, they picked up Huang Xiaoyang and his fiancée, with an identical guest cabin still available for them.

Everyone rested for two days, replenished supplies, and then continued the journey.

The day Jing Chaoyi got drunk, after personally escorting her back to her room, she acted as if nothing had happened the next day. However, there remained an unspeakable feeling whenever he interacted with Jing Chaoyi.
