Chapter 599: A Careless Mistake, It’s the Qing Dynasty’s Dragon Flag! Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The contents of the boxes were indeed too numerous, and Luo Feng naturally could not care enough to look at each one individually.
As he was unpacking, the staff working nearby cleaned the items, certainly able to recognize them at a glance.
With over a thousand boxes, Luo Feng had opened only slightly more than 100 after half an hour.
He gave a wry smile and said, “You can unpack the rest yourselves!”
“Alright!”
The wealthy second generation heirs around him were naturally thrilled.
Unpacking treasure chests and hunting for treasure themselves was certainly exciting.
After all, they had been watching Luo Feng open the chests without lifting a finger for the first 100 or so boxes, and they had been quite envious.
But what about when it was in their hands?
At first, there was indeed a strong interest. They opened dozens of boxes and did not feel tired, even though the contents were mundane silver coins, official silver, copper coins, and gold ingots.
But after opening 100 boxes, many of them started to become bored.
If every box had been different, their interest would have continued.
But over and over again, there were only these few types of content.
On the other side, the Odyssey Company was not happy to see Luo Feng opening box after box of silver and gold, along with Spanish silver dollars.
Their eyes seemed to turn red with envy.
“There really is treasure!”
“But I’ve checked, and there doesn’t seem to be any record of a sunken ship in this area!”
What did the executives of the Odyssey Company do? Wasn’t it their specialty to salvage sunken ships from the sea?
So the information they held was surely about various historical details, various shipwrecks.
Only with this knowledge could they find those sunken ships, and their treasures.
But now their entire company could not find a record of a shipwreck in that sea area.
But Luo Feng had found it.
Wasn’t this strange?
Could it be that the whole company was less informed than Luo Feng alone?
After all, it was a large-scale fishing vessel, with more than 100 ships. Surely there must be some historical record?
In truth, Luo Feng was also puzzled by this question. He knew that his explanation was just a forced one, an attempt to give a reasonable name to this batch of treasure.
But why this treasure had fallen here was definitely not what he had analyzed.
“Boss!”
Luo Feng was sitting on the deck, watching them unpack, munching on beef tendon when suddenly the captain called him.
Without standing up, Luo Feng asked, “Did you find something good?”
The captain replied, “I’m not sure, would you like to go over and take a look?”
Luo Feng stood up, chewing on the delicious beef tendon, a snack brought by the beautiful Lin Yueting, originally meant for her journey. But it had been discovered by Luo Feng shortly after setting sail and entirely consumed by him.
Luo Feng knew that the more you bully a girl, the more she feels for you.
He didn’t know why that was the case.
Regardless, if two equally handsome and well-matched men were both acquainted with a girl, the one who bullied her would end up with her, not the one who fawned over her.
Even if you didn’t fawn but took normal care of her, the one who ended up with her would still be the one who bullied her.
Because whether you are a man or a woman, if you are unconditionally good to someone, they will not cherish it.
Soon, Luo Feng walked over to the unpacking crew and saw the newly cleaned box in front of him. It was filled with something soft and silky.
“This should be satin!” Luo Feng said, nodding.
If it were a merchant ship, having these items would naturally not be extraordinary.
“Satin?”
Li Shishi was also quite surprised, as the dark, grimy object turned out to be satin. Such silk, if worn, would be quite unpleasant.
Soon, Luo Feng saw everyone continue to unpack the boxes.
But Lin Yueting seemed very interested in this silk. She wanted to know what was different between this silk and modern silk.
Soaked with water and heavy, she took it out and dragged it to the open deck, slowly unfolding it.
Fully opened, the fabric was quite large, over five meters long and about five meters wide.
It seemed to be square.
But one end of the fabric had a gear-like shape, and the other end was sewn together with two pieces of fabric, with a hollow in the middle.
“Luo Feng, why don’t you go and see? It looks like Lin Yueting has found something!” Li Shishi, standing next to Luo Feng as he watched the unpacking, tugged at his arm.
“Oh? What happened?” Luo Feng curiously walked over.
What could be so special about ancient silk?
But when Luo Feng saw the unfolded pattern, he immediately realized his mistake.
This should be the national flag of the Qing Dynasty!
