Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 766 - 763 - Appropriate

The sky was clear, and a gentle breeze brushed against the face.

In front of the white sandy beach, a lone canoe quietly floated on the emerald waves, swaying slightly with the sea, leaving dark trails in the water on either side of its hull.

The cheering on the shore was fervent and raucous, as if a grand festival banquet had been convened on the island.

[Awesome!]

[Society's Brother Fang, a boat built in five days]

[Anyone else?]

[Yao Jun: Within a day, I want to see a scale model appear on the club's goods shelf!]

[Sorry, this time I'm buying them all!]

Everyone witnessed with their own eyes how this small boat was forged from iron and fire, step by step from a twenty-meter tall palm tree into the vessel that now lay before them.

In their daily lives, they had never seen such a feat, and for most tourists on the island, it was an entirely novel sensation.

Not only that, but since the arrival of Bi Fang, it seemed the number of tourists on the island had increased.

The manager of Adventure Resort, Fils, and Driver Hosley, who specifically drove tourists around Easter Island, would probably be best-placed to comment on this.

It was now mid-April, and the tourism season with the most tourists had been over for over half a month, so the number of guests checking in should have been decreasing.

Fils had checked the occupancy records for the last couple of days and discovered that the resort's occupancy rate was actually increasing, not decreasing!

Most crucially, these were all additions from the last two days.

After asking Driver Hosley, he confirmed that indeed, although April should have been a time when his workload decreased, he hadn't felt it at all. Instead, every day he was still transporting a large number of tourists around the island for sightseeing.

Looking at the surrounding hotels, while their increases weren't as pronounced as that of Adventure Resort, they had also stopped their declining trend and seemed on the brink of experiencing a reverse youth surge.

Fils understood very well the reason behind this abnormal behavior; he increasingly felt that the boss's decision was profoundly astute.

Those two trees at the entrance cost tens of thousands of dollars to transplant. Other than improving the appearance, they seemed useless, but now it appeared he had been shortsighted.

What's that Huaxia saying again? The phoenix seeks the wutong tree, it will come on its own, or something like that.

Fils, who often dealt with tourists from all over the world, had a good understanding of the cultures of major countries and felt that his boss was truly wise and powerful.

Delightful.

On the beach.

Bi Fang was barefoot, with his pants rolled up, pushing the canoe into the water, the cool sea submerging him up to his thighs.

The water deepened a bit, but the canoe remained stable on the surface, no tilting, no leaks, just like a normal boat except for being a bit blackened and less appealing due to the fire.

After verifying that everything was fine, Bi Fang prepared to board the canoe.

The form of the canoe varied, slender, wide, or rotund, depending entirely on the needs and the tree from which it was created.

Some racing boats, in pursuit of ultimate speed, were shaped like long darts and required exceptional skill to balance while moving at high speeds.

But not all canoes are like that, Bi Fang couldn't possibly construct his boat to be that troublesome, as it would make his month-long cross-ocean journey sheer torture.

If a person could maintain a certain level of core strength continuously for a month to keep the boat balanced, then perhaps a question mark should be raised over their human attributes.

Bi Fang needed a vessel that could move quickly and provide a resting spot, a normal boat that could advance at high speeds during the day and allow for lying down to sleep at night, without worry over small waves and wind.

That's precisely why Bi Fang needed to choose a sufficiently large palm tree, so the body of the boat was wide enough to avoid easy capsizing while offering adequate safety and buoyancy.

Although it still lacked further polishing, it already looked no different from a normal small boat.

Almost four meters long and over half a meter wide, in order to navigate properly at sea and prevent water ingress and capsizing, the boat's ends were highly raised. And to prevent cracking, both ends were made from solid wood without being hollowed out, effectively avoiding the risk of brittleness leading to breakage.

Even based on its design alone, it somewhat resembles a downsized Viking ship, aesthetically pleasing while being practical.

If constructed normally, one palm tree could be split in half to make two canoes, but the resulting boats would be flat and less capable of dealing with winds and waves.

For the current design, Bi Fang had to accept high costs of one boat per tree, fortunately, the result was satisfying.

The advantage of a canoe is its integral structure, which is extremely sturdy.

"The most convenient launching point for a sea canoe could be at the Aquatic Dock, before entering the boat, make sure to check all the equipment,"

"First, inspect if the life jacket is properly worn. If using a spray skirt, roll it up first to avoid sitting on it when entering the cockpit, and place the paddle within arm's reach,"

"Always remember, when you need to add a person's weight onto the boat, it must be placed on the centerline of the boat; otherwise, it is easy to capsize,"

"First press down on the back extension of the cockpit, and keep your feet near the centerline of the cockpit as well. Then lift your body, gradually shifting your weight onto your hands as you lower into the cockpit. The sequence is reversed when exiting. If using a spray skirt, it is most convenient to attach it starting from the back to the front, using both hands simultaneously,"

"If there is no Aquatic Dock available, look for another suitable launching spot. I chose a smooth, wave-free sandy beach, mainly because it had a gentle current and an adequate depth. Find something to lean on, like a rock on the shore,"

Given the current quality of the boat, Bi Fang could completely ignore these techniques and just get on the boat directly; the buoyancy of the boat was enough to support some non-standard operations.

However, Bi Fang hadn't forgotten that he was still live broadcasting.

Since the first broadcast, Bi Fang always remembered his online persona and never changed.

Bi Fang stepped on the sandy shore, keeping the boat next to him, then placed the temporarily made paddle on the gunwale with the other end resting on a shore rock. With one hand pressing down on the stern extension and thumb hooked around the paddle shaft and the other hand firmly pressing on the shore rock, securing the paddle end that rested on it, he created a very stable base.

"Be careful not to exert too much pressure on the paddle, as it may break,"

Bi Fang then perched on the edge of the cockpit, still bearing most of his weight on his feet.

With his enhanced sense of balance, Bi Fang had no problem maintaining such a posture in the bobbing sea for a long time; it could even be described as somewhat leisurely.

Supporting his weight with one foot and the hand on the shore rock, Bi Fang slowly lifted his other foot into the boat, followed by his entire body. Before settling down completely, he used the shore rock to moderately leverage himself to keep balanced.

"The first time you get on a boat, you might not grasp the balance. If there's a friend nearby, they can hold the boat steady, making it easier to get in,"

Once inside, Bi Fang lay down in the hull.

The seventy centimeters of boat width adequately cradled his body while leaving some space to turn over, avoiding too much constriction, providing a rather pleasant experience.

Quite comfortable.
