The Entire Ocean Is Livestreaming My Virtual Pet-Raising

The latest ongoing novel, After Inheriting a Desolate Star, I Went on a Rampage in the Interstellar Era, is looking for follows~

Xun Liuchuan, who died in the apocalypse, was reborn in a world entirely covered by the ocean. He became the only human in the sea.

Marine life had become the undisputed rulers of this new world. After a long process of evolution, they had grown enormous and ferocious.

They often appeared near Xun Liuchuan and stayed for ages. They usually let out terrifying cries, too, and behaved in all sorts of strange ways.

Xun Liuchuan clung in terror to the one piece of wood he had left. It was the only thing keeping him alive as he drifted across the sea!

Why did these marine creatures always flip his board over whenever they came by?

But thanks to his fierce will to survive, Xun Liuchuan and his wooden board managed to cling on through the marine creatures' torment.

The marine creatures' version:

"A human just arrived in our waters today! A human!!"

"Waaah, oh my gosh, I can finally get the barnacles off me!"

A crowd of creatures rushed to where the human was:

"Wow, this human is so tiny and adorable!"

"Look at me, human! I can do a somersault!"

"That's nothing. I can spout a fountain!"

"Oh no, the human's boat capsized! Good grief, he's going to be scared to death."

To make sure their delicate human pet would live a long, long life, the creatures across the sea, despite their usual disagreements, reached a rare consensus: they needed to establish protective measures for humans.

Xun Liuchuan received a beautiful shell from one of his ocean friends. He loved it and carried it with him every day.

Unbeknownst to him, the footage transmitted through a 720-degree panoramic live feed had become the marine creatures' favorite livestream, bar none!

"The little one went out early to pick up trash again today. I'm worried, but proud. That's my favorite little one, so hardworking!"

"I'm giving the little one a big hug and sniff! He was so gentle when he cleaned the barnacles off me before!"

"Whose orca is that in the livestream? How shameless can it get? It's shown up in front of the little one three times in a week!"

The life Xun Liuchuan thought he was living:

Scavenge trash at sea to piece together a small boat, struggle to find food and water, fend off giant sea beasts, and fight to survive.

The life Xun Liuchuan was actually living:

The entire ocean was raising an adorable little darling together, taking turns feeding him every month, while countless sea beasts spent all day adoring him from afar.

- A guide to this novel:

- Some parts of the story were inspired by the Steam game Raft, which is a lot of fun~

- This is probably a story about the male protagonist struggling to survive and build things across different seas.

-----Advance Preview-----

Yu Wenzhou landed on a desolate planet and could only survive by scavenging trash.

Fortunately, there was always a way forward. He had a shopping system bound to him.

[This piece of trash is worth 2 points and can be exchanged for a bottle of mineral water.]

[This piece of trash is worth 1 point and can be exchanged for a serving of compressed biscuits.]

By slowly collecting trash and saving up points, Yu Wenzhou managed to survive.

But just as his small farm was starting to take shape, Yu Wenzhou unexpectedly learned that this was an interstellar era.

An artificial crystal core was worth 2,000 points. He could get his ranch up and running.

A Zerg crystal core was worth 5,000 points. He could buy five mines outright!

And a Zerg Empress's crystal core was worth six figures!

Six figures! That was enough for Yu Wenzhou to restore a stretch of the desolate planet into a pristine nature reserve, or equip a mecha with a top-of-the-line nuclear magnetic weapon!

Without a second thought, Yu Wenzhou signed up for military school.

"What? My physical fitness is so poor that I can only get into the bottom-ranked class in the combat program?"

"That's right. Take it or leave it."

Yu Wenzhou wasn't worried in the slightest. He had the resources of an entire planet at his disposal. What did a little poor physical fitness matter?

He upgraded the shopping system's treatment patch over and over, then drank and bathed in a full set of top-tier gene repair agents.

During the year-end tournament, an anonymous post on the military academy's combat program network forum became a hot topic.

[OP: What the hell is up with that bottom-ranked student? Damn, he wiped out several entire classes all by himself, and they still put him in Class F?]

[10F: I'm dying. You're from Class B, right? After making a fool of yourself, you don't even dare show your real name? If you're just trash, stop making excuses.]

[97F: Heh, is 10F from Class A? Hope you're still laughing tomorrow.]

[329F: @10F, I recorded today's match in full. Come on, sweetheart, give us your name so I can see which loser from Class A got wiped out.]

The Zerg army invaded.

The soldiers couldn't withstand the relentless attacks and gradually ran out of strength. Only Yu Wenzhou's spirits remained high.

Ten crystal cores, one mammoth.

Twenty crystal cores, one velociraptor.

There was no end to the loot. This fortune was just too enormous to collect it all!

Theme: No matter how hard life gets, keep going.
