Chapter 578 - 578: Ship Purchased! Off to the Seas!
Luo Feng had even designated a special space for the Treasure Basin, an object famed for its ability to attract luck, not unlike the lucky cat in Chinese folklore. Naturally, he chose an auspicious spot for it.
“Little Feng, you’ve had a few days to rest, so where do you plan to go treasure-hunting next?” Gu Santong inquired during a visit to Luo Feng’s home, taking advantage of some leisure time.
He couldn’t suppress a hint of envy when he saw the four beautiful women at Luo Feng’s home. Their stunning figures and radiant beauty were indeed a sight to behold.
Although Su Meiji wasn’t living there, Qin Rubing, Li Shishi, and the young model from Sakura Country had moved in, though not on a permanent basis.
Among them, the young model seemed to take on the role of caretaker for Luo Feng, attending to his daily needs and also becoming his lover. Luo Feng discovered that girls from the Cherry Blossom nation had a natural talent for caring for men, with their remarkable attentiveness.
“Treasure-hunting, you say? I plan to go out to sea!” Luo Feng chuckled in response.
“Out to sea? The open ocean?” Gu Santong exclaimed.
“Yes, I’m growing weary of the land. I want to explore what the sea has to offer!” Luo Feng affirmed with a nod.
“Do you have a ship?” Gu Santong inquired, intrigued.
“Not yet!”
“How will you go?
“I have money, after all!” Luo Feng said with a confident smile.
At this point, Gu Santong fell silent, somewhat taken aback by Luo Feng’s brazen statement.
Indeed, for Luo Feng, buying a ship for deep-sea sailing was not a major concern. Although he had previously owned a luxury yacht for nearshore sailing, he needed something more robust for the deep sea.
Thus, he needed to purchase a new vessel.
“Whatever you need, just say the word. Handling artifacts abroad might require some paperwork, but I don’t mind the hassle!” Gu Santong reassured.
“Hahaha, thank you! I’ll definitely invite you!” Luo Feng laughed heartily.
Over the following days, Luo Feng busied himself with handling the artifacts and other matters, such as purchasing a ship and applying for the required sea routes. He couldn’t simply buy a ship and set sail wherever he pleased; he needed to report his plans and apply for approval.
Luo Feng’s planned route began in the Yellow Sea, moving south to the South China Sea, then across the Indian Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, and finally back to the Pacific Ocean. It was a voyage that would practically take him around the world.
Despite the complex visa procedures, having connections smoothed the way and made everything worry-free.
Luo Feng’s chosen vessel was an “Experiment 1” comprehensive scientific research ship, a second-hand model since a brand-new custom one would take too long to construct.
The “Experiment 1” was one of China’s most advanced comprehensive scientific research vessels, with a price tag of nearly 200 million yuan. Its specifications were suitable for both nearshore and offshore research, including studies in underwater acoustics, marine physics, geobiology, marine and atmospheric environments, and more. Although it lacked military capabilities, it was perfect in all other aspects.
During the purchase, the scientific academy requested that Luo Feng take a scholar with him for overseas research. Luo Feng naturally agreed, provided they did not interfere with his own work.
Finally, Luo Feng settled on April 10th as the departure date.
On April 8th, news of Luo Feng’s oceanic treasure-hunting expedition began to spread online. The streaming platform ran extensive promotions, with the homepage prominently featuring a large image of the “Experiment 1” with Luo Feng standing confidently on the deck.
They had elevated Luo Feng to top-tier status, aiming to draw massive traffic.
Accompanying the image was the text, “The great treasure hunter, Old Luo sets off, towards the stars and ocean..”
