Chapter 433: The Qingfeng Cruise Ship's Update, Full of High-Tech Vibes!

#Temple Master Ning has finally gone live!#

Ning Fei hadn't expected to shoot straight to the top of the trending searches the moment he turned his stream back on.

If you asked who the most famous person in Huaxia was right now, it wasn't a movie star or a pop singer. It was the master of Qingfeng Temple, Ning Fei.

As a streamer, he had completely transcended the very concept of live-streaming.

No one even bothered calling him the number one streamer anymore. To the live-streaming industry, his existence was a dimensionality reduction strike.

He was the only man in the world broadcasting to multiple countries simultaneously.

He couldn't even keep track of how much revenue he was pulling in from the international streaming rights alone.

Ning Fei rarely checked his bank balance these days. There were too many zeros to count easily, so he simply stopped bothering.

If the netizens heard that, they would probably roast him again:

"Listen to yourself, is that something a human would say?!"

The moment the stream went live, the viewers rushed to spread the news.

It didn't take long for the viewership to reach a terrifying level, soaring even higher than his usual numbers.

The viewers joked that this was exactly the kind of prestige Temple Master Ning commanded!

"Temple Master Ning, I missed you to death!"

"Hubby, why did you take so long to come online!"

"I've been bored to death these past few days!"

"Why are you only streaming now? If foreigners see this, they'll think we can't afford you. From now on, you have to stream every day, twenty-four seven!"

While the barrage exploded, the donations poured in endlessly.

Across every major platform, the screens were densely packed with a sea of tips!

Other streamers stared blankly at the sight, their eyes green with envy.

This was just too absurd!

He had only been off the air for less than a week, yet the netizens were losing their minds over his return.

Just what kind of charm did this Daoist temple master have?

At that moment, Ning Fei was aboard the Qingfeng Cruise Ship, inspecting the vessel's condition.

The staff from Fuxing Technology had already briefed him on the cruise ship's updates, and he was highly satisfied with the results.

"The updates to the Qingfeng Cruise Ship are finally complete."

"They added a lot of new features this time."

Ning Fei said to the drone as he stood on the deck.

"Temple Master Ning, what new features?"

"I feel like it looks the same as before."

"Yeah, didn't you say a helicopter was added? Why don't I see it?"

"Good lord, there's even a helicopter? It's that high-tech?"

"This really is a rich man's stream!"

From the outside, the Qingfeng Cruise Ship looked exactly the same as before. There were hardly any visible changes.

It still had its white hull lined with ambient lighting and three levels of cabins. The topmost level featured an open deck furnished with lounge chairs, sun umbrellas, and tables.

"The helicopter is stored in a more hidden location. Keeping it out in the open would take up too much space," Ning Fei explained.

Then, he called out to the ship:

"Bai, bring up the helicopter."

Bai was the Qingfeng Cruise Ship's AI, and the most advanced kind on the market.

"Understood, Captain!"

A gender-neutral voice rang out.

Then, the viewers watched as the deck at the very front of the ship slid open to the sides like a pair of doors. A pitch-black helicopter, gleaming with a metallic luster, slowly rose from inside.

The helicopter wasn't large. It was a compact model that could only seat two people.

The rotors could be folded away when not in use, so it didn't take up much space.

The moment the sleek, metallic helicopter appeared, the netizens erupted again.

"The space beneath the deck used to be a cargo hold," Ning Fei said. "Since my ship doesn't transport goods, converting it into a helicopter hangar was a perfect fit."

"Now, the front half of the underdeck can deploy a helicopter, and the back half can launch a submarine. It's equipped for land, sea, and air."

Ning Fei said in satisfaction.

"Good lord, the tech on this thing is insane!"

"What a gorgeous chopper!"

"I've gotta say, seeing Temple Master Ning on a ship like this doesn't feel out of place at all!"

"Absolutely badass!"

"Rich boss, do you need any more lackeys clinging to your thighs?"

"Master, please take me in as your disciple!"

"!"

The netizens were incredibly envious.

"The helicopter is just one part of it. There's been a new scientific breakthrough, and the stabilizer has been massively upgraded."

"As long as the waves aren't too rough, the Qingfeng Cruise Ship won't rock at all during normal sailing."

"This entirely solves the problem of seasickness."

Ning Fei added.

His preparations this time were truly thorough.

"There's also the indoor climate control. Because we're heading to the Arctic, the cabins on the second floor feature a fully enclosed design with built-in heating."

"This way, the little guys won't freeze in the Arctic either."

"The water filtration system has been updated too. It can still easily convert seawater into distilled water."

"The ship is equipped with hydroelectric generators, so our power reserves have been significantly boosted."

"The energy consumption is still quite high, requiring specialized heavy fuel oil. But we have plenty in reserve, so there's no need to worry about running out of fuel."

"Tsk tsk, these features are insanely powerful!"

"Just my daily dose of envy!"

At this moment, Ning Fei stood at the bow. Little Fox, Xiao Heijiu, Little Dog, and Little Fei were all out on the deck. Little falcon circled overhead, while Xiao Feng—a red canary with three colorful tail feathers—fluttered through the air.

Ning Fei announced, "Traveling the world. Next stop: Antarctica. Let's set off!"

Bai, the Qingfeng Cruise Ship's AI, replied, "Understood, Captain."

The cruise ship slowly hummed to life. Carrying Ning Fei, it cut through the azure sea, heading straight south.

The scene was incredibly beautiful.

Summer was fast approaching, the time when marine life was at its most active.

"Temple Master Ning, what are you going to do in Antarctica?"

"Antarctica isn't exactly an easy place to visit, right?"

"Where are you going to stay?"

As they sailed across the open ocean, the viewers asked.

"Antarctica is gradually opening up these days, and there are a lot of tourists who go there," Ning Fei said.

"And wherever there are tourists, you'll find hotels, entertainment facilities, and other associated activities."

"Traveling to Antarctica is very expensive. The hotels there make a killing, so their facilities are exceptionally good."

"When we get there, we can head inside to buy some supplies for the Antarctic trip."

"Plus, while I was applying for my visa, I received an invitation from the Antarctic Scientific Research Station."

"So I'll definitely be visiting the station to take a look."

The netizens nodded in understanding at his words.

"So that's how it is."

"A scientific research station... That sounds so mysterious!"

"Haha, we finally get to see what a research station looks like!"

"Yeah, I've never seen Antarctica before!"

At that moment, Ning Fei—dressed in a short-sleeved dark blue tunic and white shorts—climbed up to the third-floor deck and reclined on a lounge chair.

Little Dog lay at the bow of the ship, barking happily at the fish in the water.

Ning Fei spoke again:

"Huaxia has a total of five scientific research stations in Antarctica. They are the Great Wall Station, Zhongshan Station, Kunlun Station, Taishan Station, and the recently built New Ross Sea Station."

"These stations all serve different functions, but there are always personnel stationed there."

"It's tough work. They have to survive in the freezing cold, in the harshest and coldest place in the world."

"All for the sake of Huaxia's Antarctic scientific exploration projects."

"In this era, science and technology are what make a nation strong. We can't afford to fall behind in any field, and it's exactly the dedication of people like them that keeps us moving forward."

"I can't believe Huaxia has five research stations in Antarctica!"

"Knowledge increased!"

"Our motherland is so strong!"

"We really need to thank the personnel stationed there for their hard work!"

"Temple Master Ning is always full of positive energy!"

"When he talks about things like this, it never feels preachy. It just feels incredibly satisfying to listen to!"

The viewers grew excited.

And just like that, the Qingfeng Cruise Ship carved through the waves, heading steadily south toward the eternal winter of Antarctica.
