Chapter 591: A Hundred Sunken Ships! An Astounding Number!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“80 million? What could possibly be inside this fishing vessel?” Luo Feng’s voice was tinged with disbelief as he peered into the ship’s cabin, utterly astounded.
The poor lighting hindered his examination, leaving the cabin’s contents a mystery.
However, Luo Feng did not dwell on it; he swam to the next sunken vessel, prying open the wooden planks of the cabins one by one.
[ Ding! You have found treasure, worth 90 million yuan! ]
The next one.
[ Ding! You have found treasure, worth 100 million yuan! ]
[ Ding! You have found treasure, worth 90 million yuan! ]
Luo Feng’s face paled with shock as he encountered twelve sunken ships, each harboring vast riches.
What did this signify?
Treasure on every ship? And each of them valued so exorbitantly?
He had explored many ancient tombs on land, but this was his first encounter with such an anomaly at sea. His experience was limited, but Luo Feng knew that these were not ordinary fishing vessels.
What was the logic here?
Were these fishermen so wealthy they didn’t even need to fish?
Now, the twelve fishing vessels together were worth approximately one billion yuan.
Luo Feng was uncertain of what to do next. Raising these fishing vessels was a problem that needed solving.
Glancing at his oxygen tank and suspecting that everyone else’s levels were low, he declared, “There’s not much oxygen left. We should ascend!”
“Yes!” Lin Yueting agreed, and they swam upward. Once they began to ascend, she asked, “Did you find anything?”
“I found something extraordinary!”
“What exactly?” she queried. “Surely there can’t be valuable treasures in mere fishing boats?”
“You’re mistaken; there are indeed treasures!”
“What are they?” Lin Yueting sounded exasperated.
“They are treasures, naturally!”
“What kind of treasures?”
“Some of them!”
Noticing her frustration, Luo Feng ceased his teasing and laughed, “From what
I could see, they appear to be worth more than a billion yuan!”
“You’re joking, right?” Lin Yueting’s face showed disbelief.
“Damn, the host is spouting nonsense again!”
“Exactly, if they were an ancient merchant ships filled with porcelain, I’d believe his words, but mere fishing boats? That’s absurd!”
“Perhaps some precious dried fish?”
“Hahaha, dried and soaked? It would have decayed long ago!”
“What could possibly be in those fishing vessels to be worth so much?”
“Could it be pearls?”
“Damn, that’s possible! Maybe these boats were used for pearl hunting, not fishing?”
“You’re all guessing the same thing; it can’t be that!”
Upon reaching the surface, Luo Feng and the others disembarked, shedding their equipment, and gasping for fresh air.
Though they had oxygen tanks, the underwater pressure was no trivial matter.
Luo Feng’s eyes also caught Lin Yueting’s heaving chest, and he chuckled to himself.
The Great Beauty Lin, glanced at him but said nothing. Let him look if he wants; nothing was exposed, after all.
“Stop staring. Wait for tonight, and I’ll show you mine!” Li Shishi approached Luo Feng, handing him a bottle of water, and asked, “What’s down there?” “It’s treasure; Luo Feng claims it’s treasure!” Lin Yueting chimed in. “Real treasure? Are you joking?” Li Shishi asked incredulously.
“I watched the live broadcast; it’s some sunken ships!”
“Yes, Shishi, you were preparing food and missed the broadcast, right?”
“It’s indeed sunken ships, but we don’t know what’s inside them. Old Luo claimed on the live feed that it’s treasure, worth over a billion yuan!”
Li Shishi was puzzled, “A billion? From sunken fishing boats? Honey, are you sure you’re not joking?”
“Do I look like that kind of person?” Luo Feng rolled his eyes.
Hearing this, many crew members perked up, intrigued. They hadn’t been able to watch the live broadcast while working.
Though Experiment 1 was equipped for salvage, retrieving so many seven- or eight-meter-long sunken ships presented a formidable challenge.
And salvaging them with just one ship would be a slow process.
What Luo Feng had not mentioned was that there weren’t just twelve ships but hundreds. They had only discovered twelve due to limited visibility, while treasure markers revealed many more.
“First, contact Southeast Asia and hire some salvaging companies. Meanwhile, we shouldn’t be idle; let’s try to salvage one ourselves!” Luo Feng immediately instructed, directing everyone to prepare ropes and salvage nets.
“Are you going back down?” Lin Yueting asked curiously, watching Luo Feng prepare another oxygen tank.
“Of course! Are you coming?” he inquired.
“I certainly want to go!”
“Haha, fine, but I won’t pay you. You’ll be volunteering!” Luo Feng chuckled.
“I don’t want a salary. I just want to see what kind of treasure it is. That will satisfy me!” Lin Yueting replied, somewhat annoyed.
“Alright then, let’s dive once more!”
With a splash, Luo Feng dove back into the sea, a mystery lying beneath the waves, waiting to be unearthed..
