The rushing river calmed significantly as it reached the first lighthouse, due to the sudden widening of the river's surface.
Qing Chen sat on his canoe, carefully counting with his thumb, using the shoreline as a reference. He first calculated the distance from himself to the shore, then figured out how many meters each thumb-width represented.
The lighthouse wrote "50 kilometers ahead," which must be precisely 50 kilometers.
At this moment, Qing Chen said to Chen Yu ahead, "You can paddle faster."
Chen Yu: "?"
Aren't you controlling me? Why not just give the command directly? What's the point of saying it out loud?
Are you doing this to be annoying?
Qing Chen and the others started from the first lighthouse, and when they reached the Drifting Zone Monument, it was just 38 kilometers.
Perhaps if he had been more precise in calculating the distance, he would have noticed something unusual.
