Chapter 189: The Sound of Waves
Chapter 189: The Sound of Waves
Upon arriving in Zhonghai City, how could Li Qian not visit Zhonghai Beach?
Even if it was just to admire the achievements of his predecessors, it was still very necessary.
And as it turned out, his special trip to Zhonghai Beach was indeed worthwhile.
As for the research on the evolution of the Gray Bean Pigeon to the Skygliding Eagle, he had plenty of time and didn't need to rush it.
As time passed and the afternoon approached four o'clock, the sun began to set in the west, and the temperature gradually became less scorching.
At this time, locals, tourists, young and old, began to gather on the beach, and it was already quite lively.
After waving goodbye to the middle-aged man who had brought him here, Li Qian headed straight towards Zhonghai Beach.
Before long, he blended into the crowd, and without wasting any time, he immediately put on his VR glasses.
Through the VR glasses, Li Qian admired the beautiful scenery before him while making a video call to his mother.
The call was answered after just a few rings.
"Mom, look where I am now." As his mother's image appeared in the VR glasses, she seemed to be busy in the base, and Li Qian smiled and greeted her.
Zhonghai Beach was a frequent scene in TV dramas and movies, so Han Yuye immediately recognized his location, "Xiao Qian, you've arrived in Zhonghai City."
"Yes, I arrived yesterday and spent the day discussing with a cultivation professor. I have some free time today, so I'm going out to play," Li Qian nodded in response.
"Mhm, studying and researching are indeed important, but health is the foundation. You should also learn to relax and go out to play more," Han Yuye felt proud of her son's academic pursuits, but also a bit worried, so she reminded him with concern.
Li Qian's smile remained, understanding his mother's concern, and he nodded, "Yes, Mom, I understand. I will."
Then, he quickly changed the subject, "Now, let me show you around Zhonghai Beach. The real scenery here is far more stunning than what you see on TV."
Without pausing, he continued, "In the future, when you and Dad have time, you can come and play too. I believe it will be an unforgettable experience."
As Li Qian spoke, he used his VR glasses to take in the entire view.
At first, his mother, Han Yuye, watched attentively, but as time passed, she began to multitask, tending to her tasks while watching.
Li Qian could tell that she was feeding the koi, working diligently as usual.
Although it had been some time since Li Qian purchased the Prairial Breeding Facility and became its owner, he and his parents seemed to have not fully embraced their new identities.
They preferred to handle many things personally.
For instance, at this stage, the primary economic source of the breeding facility—the koi—they were accustomed to caring for themselves.
Of course, this was also partly due to Li Qian's improved koi feed formula before his departure.
The new feed formula incorporated many precious extraordinary resources, promoting the koi's intelligence and enhancing their comprehension.
In the future, the Prairial Breeding Facility's production of Green Scaled Serpents and Frostfire Salamanders would depend on these batches of koi.
Such an important matter, his parents naturally wouldn't trust anyone else from the base to handle it.
Using the VR glasses, Li Qian briefly toured around with his mother, Han Yuye, and he helplessly sighed before hanging up the call.
Not wanting to disturb her work, he figured it was better to wait until they had more time and personally bring her and his father out for a tour, or perhaps... share more videos and photos with her when he returned.
"You're always telling me to rest and relax, but you don't seem to have any intention of doing so yourself," Li Qian murmured after hanging up.
He took in the beautiful scenery within his field of vision, sighed, and decided not to think too much about it.
Since he was already out, it was a rare opportunity to relax and unwind, so he didn't plan to waste it.
He walked to a stall near the Central Beach, bought a coconut, and strolled leisurely.
Taking a sip of the sweet coconut juice, Li Qian casually toured around. When he felt it was about time, he found a beach chair, reclined, and leaned back.
Leaning on the beach chair, he took out a pair of sunglasses from his spatial necklace and enjoyed the view of the distant horizon where the sea met the sky while sipping his coconut juice.
With the setting sun casting a soft golden glow on the sea surface, the shimmering waves resembled falling stars, adding a touch of beauty to the captivating scenery.
After a while, drowsiness began to wash over him, and Li Qian decided to close his eyes and rest.
The previous night had been a sleepless one, and he was genuinely tired now.
The gentle sea breeze was neither too hot nor too cold, and the vast crowd around him also assured him of his safety. Li Qian allowed himself to drift into a peaceful slumber...
Time passed, and he didn't know how long it had been.
Suddenly, faintly, Li Qian realized that his ears were filled with the sound of surging waves!
The sound was initially faint and indistinct, and he didn't pay it much attention.
Wasn't it normal to hear the sound of waves while lying on a beach chair by the sea?
As the sound of the waves became more pronounced, he assumed it was due to the rising or receding tide.
That's what Li Qian thought, so he didn't mind it. He simply shifted his body into a more comfortable position, ready to slip back into his dreams...
However, his sleep was soon interrupted by a series of screams and exclamations.
To be precise, he was woken by the chaotic sounds of screams and shouts.
The sounds were disorganized, as if he were in the midst of a noisy battlefield.
"Ahhhh..."
"What's happening?"
"Is that a giant wave?"
"Oh no, it's a tsunami! Run!"
"..."
The sounds were chaotic and mixed, and after listening for a while, Li Qian discerned something amiss.
He was lying on a beach chair by the sea, surrounded by tourists and locals enjoying their leisure time. How could such discordant sounds possibly exist here?
At this thought, Li Qian suddenly snapped awake. He quickly scanned his surroundings and was shocked to find that after only a brief nap, the scene before him had completely changed!
