Chapter 592: Great Wooden Chests! Treasure Chests! 240 of Them!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At the same time, in the office of the Odyssey Company in America, several executives were engaged in conversation, enjoying cigars.
βHas Luo Feng set sail yet?β one inquired.
βHeβs been out for several days now!β
βThe latest information reveals that Luo Feng has discovered more than a dozen sunken ships on the ocean floor, and heβs currently in the process of salvaging them!β
βIβve seen it. Those sunken ships are mere fishing vessels. There shouldnβt be any treasure there.β
Upon learning that the sunken ships were only fishing vessels, the executivesβ interest waned. As seasoned professionals, they understood that such vessels, whether ancient or modern, would not carry much value. The ancient ones might hold some worth, particularly with the inclusion of fishermenβs tools, but modern ones would barely offset the cost of recovery. Small fishing vessels were something the Odyssey Company would scarcely consider salvaging.
βThis Luo Feng, he used to hunt for treasures on land. Now that heβs taken to the sea, itβs natural for him to be thrilled by finding a sunken ship,β one executive commented.
βYeah, I remember when I switched from land to sea treasure-hunting. The first time I found a sunken ship, regardless of its type, it filled me with excitement as well!β
Just then, one of the executives received a phone call.
βHello? You say thereβs something inside those fishing vessels?β
After hanging up, his expression morphed into one of confusion, and he hastily tuned into Luo Fengβs live broadcast.
The others immediately pressed, βSomething inside the fishing vessels? What could it be?β
βIβm not entirely certain. It seems theyβve salvaged some chests from the vessels!β the executive replied, continuing, βLetβs watch the live broadcast.
Then weβll know everything.β
The executives swiftly turned solemn, setting up a projector and casting Luo Fengβs livestream onto a large screen in front of them.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng had once again dived under the sea. Pointing at the pried-open wooden planks below, he commanded, βHead to the seabed and keep bringing those objects up to me!β
βNo problem!β
Luo Feng, after shifting several chests and feeling the fatigue, permitted the affluent second -generation divers who had previously dived to assist with the lifting. The shipβs cargo area could only accommodate one person at a time.
One of the divers descended with a headlamp, his initial hesitance giving way to confidence as he entered the dark space, knowing Luo Feng had already been inside.
Before long, a one-meter-square wooden chest, tightly sealed and ringed with iron nails, was brought to the surface.
βAmazing, Brother Luo! There are many more chests inside!β
After quickly retrieving the chest, Luo Feng asked, βAre there no other divers among you, the crew? Iβll give $1000 for each chest you bring up! I have diving suits. If anyoneβs willing, go try them on!β
Luo Feng suspected that some of the crew members might be divers but would be reluctant to undertake any tasks beyond their standard responsibilities, especially something as perilous as diving, without additional incentives.
βBoss Luo, sir, I can dive!β
βMe too!β
The promise of money was persuasive, and several crew members promptly revealed their diving skills.
βReally, you guys are so motivated by money!β Lin Yueting remarked, rolling her eyes. She would have dived purely out of curiosity, without any reward. These men seemed devoid of curiosity.
What Lin failed to comprehend was that these men had families to support. They didnβt want to risk their lives out of simple curiosity. But with money on the line, their interest was piqued.
With fresh recruits, chests were rapidly extracted from the sunken ships. Everyoneβs curiosity was piqued as to what these sealed wooden chests might contain. Could they hold real treasure?
In roughly two hours, the last of the wooden chests was retrievedβa total of 230.
Seven or eight people were visibly fatigued, including the crew members responsible for pulling the ropes.
βLetβs all head up!β Luo Feng announced, feeling that they were still short-handed. freewebnov(e)l.com
Even with seven or eight people working diligently, progress was slow.
Time, however, was not a concern. They were confident that only twelve sunken ships lay in the area, and they could continue working until the salvage team arrived.
βLetβs rest for a while and eat something. Weβll resume in an hour!β Luo Feng directed, and then ordered the chefs to prepare a meal focusing on nutrition rather than flavor. He requested hearty, meaty dishes that would replenish everyoneβs energy.
The chefs acted promptly, and within twenty minutes, an array of robust meat dishes was ready. Everyone gathered on the deck, devouring the food ravenously. The exhilaration of the dayβs discoveries mingled with the enticing aroma of the meal, filling the air with an electric sense of anticipation..
