Chapter 602 - 602: What, More Treasure?
“Good heavens! I only found out today that being a pirate is such a lucrative business!” one viewer exclaimed.
“There must be over a thousand of these boxes, worth tens of billions!” another chimed in.
“Of course, being a pirate is lucrative. Do you think those mountain bandits and pirates are poor? They simply lack infrastructure due to insufficient manpower. But when it comes to wealth, they’re certainly formidable!” a third declared.
“But the risk is also great,” someone countered.
“Isn’t it just?” came the agreement.
“This woman, to have developed piracy on such a scale, she must be truly talented!”
“This host, what luck he has! So many things, so many treasures of gold and silver, all found by him!”
“Why even bother digging for treasures? Just set out to sea once and look for those hidden treasures. Tens of billions in one go—how could that not be appealing?”
Online, people began to discuss fervently after hearing the story of the female pirate, Zheng Yisao. They all agreed that she was incredibly formidable.
On the other hand, the higher-ups of Odyssey, upon witnessing this, were seething with jealousy.
When it came to treasure hunting on land, they naturally felt inferior to Luo Feng. But when it came to the ocean, if their company was second, no one was supposed to claim to be first.
Now, such a massive treasure, so many valuables, were found not by Odyssey but by a private individual. With just one experimental vessel, Luo Feng had discovered all these treasures.
In contrast, whenever they wanted to salvage treasures, they had to gather historical information, conduct field surveys, and slowly search, sometimes even questioning villagers for clues. Even then, it might take more than a year.
If they found it, they’d be delighted; if not, all their efforts would be for naught.
They’d established their company to find treasure more effectively.
And now?
This man, all by himself, had proven so formidable.
How could they not be envious and resentful?
Searching for treasure in the vast sea was not an easy task, but for Luo Feng, it seemed almost effortless.
It was as though they had worked hard from the age of twenty, barely amassing a fortune by sixty, only to see someone else make the same amount by merely investing in a stock or buying a lottery ticket.
Such imbalance was a bitter pill to swallow.
Finding such treasure in just five or six days at sea seemed almost unbearable.
“I think, rather than stewing in envy, we should seek cooperation!” a senior executive suggested.
“Don’t humiliate ourselves!” someone laughed in response.
Others fell silent.
Indeed, they had sought cooperation but had been rejected.
Why would Luo Feng need to cooperate? He had found such treasure with a group of naiVe rich second-generation heirs. He could buy whatever professional equipment he needed.
His luck seemed too good to be true. He didn’t need their shipwreck information.
“Luo Feng, you are truly amazing, finding so much treasure on your first voyage!” Lin Yueting admired, speaking sincerely.
Luo Feng smiled faintly, “I was just lucky!”
Everyone rolled their eyes at this feigned modesty. Was all the treasure found in those ancient tombs really just due to luck?
But they didn’t bother to question Luo Feng further.
“Hahaha, you, you!” Lin Yueting shook her head, at a loss for words.
All in all, she was thrilled she had come on this trip.
Not only did she experience the joy of finding sailfish with Luo Feng, but she also shared the thrill of opening so many treasure chests—a sensation television could never replicate.
But at that moment, Luo Feng’s eyes drifted toward the ocean, and his smile froze.
He was looking at a place that had been fully salvaged, but some treasure markers had appeared again.
Luo Feng was stunned. What was going on? Was he seeing things?
Hadn’t all the treasure been salvaged?
Why was there still a golden glow?
Could it be that those shipwrecks were also treasures?
He had been too busy salvaging before to notice these details.
Now, looking again, he realized the range of the treasures was even greater than that of the shipwrecks.
It was not the shipwrecks. It was definitely something else..
