Chapter 614 - 614: A Reward of 500,000! Luo Feng, a Role Model!
He had examined the document carefully, confirming that there was no issue. He had seen enough in his time to recognize the authenticity of such things.
“It’s like this, Mr. Luo,” one of the officials began earnestly. “The submersible device you found in the sea has been confirmed as a spy gadget from another country. We’ve specifically come to thank you!”
“Also, please provide your bank account number, so the relevant reward can be transferred to you,” another official added.
“Of course, we know you don’t need the money, but you must accept this amount,” the first official insisted, his eyes gleaming with sincerity.
“Because we’ve decided in a meeting that such acts must be rewarded as they should be. It can also set a good example for others,” he concluded, his voice firm.
Indeed, their thinking was the same as that of ordinary bystanders. Such deeds should set an example.
For instance, not long ago, a young man who had saved someone by jumping off a bridge was directly rewarded by local officials with a house and 100,000 in cash. In such situations, many people would be inspired to act similarly. Of course, some skeptics might say, “Isn’t this avarice?”
Heh, avarice? Why don’t you jump off a bridge to save someone then?
After these people left, Luo Feng went to the bedroom and informed Li Shishi of the situation, then embraced her. They once again indulged in those private, intimate moments.
Time quickly advanced to the next morning, and the Naval Department immediately released news online, stating that Luo Feng had found the spy submersible device. The local Naval Department expressed gratitude and awarded him 500.000 in cash.
“Damn! Such efficiency?” one of the tourists exclaimed.
“The news is already out!” another chimed in.
“Spies were so close to us while we were bathing here; were we secretly photographed?” a woman asked, her voice tinged with concern.
“Hahaha, don’t worry. Even if you were the most beautiful woman in the world, they wouldn’t be interested in those parts of you!” a man teased.
“Exactly,” another woman laughed. “Do you think that a nation’s desired information would be about those parts of you?”
“Old Luo is awesome! 500,000!” someone cheered.
“So, when is Old Luo leaving?” another inquired.
“Is he going to the Bay of Bengal after leaving here?” someone speculated.
“Not so soon, he has to pass the Strait of Malacca first!” another corrected.
On the beach, everyone was abuzz about yesterday’s events and today’s news.
In reality, they were all reluctant to see Luo Feng leave. Because as long as Luo Feng was there, they would stay as well. But if he left, they would not follow, as going abroad often involved visa issues.
Luo Feng had spent three rewarding days on the Xisha Islands, catching some lobsters and even finding a spy device.
On this day, Luo Feng finally set off again with the enchanting Lin Yueting, Li
Shishi, the wealthy second-generation heirs, and a ship full of crew members.
In the blink of an eye, three days quickly passed, and Luo Feng and his companions’ vessel had already left the national waters and arrived on the high seas. To the northwest was Malaysia, and to the southwest was Singapore.
Luo Feng and his companions bypassed Malaysia, quickly passing through the Strait of Malacca, and arrived at the Andaman Sea. According to Luo Feng’s estimation, without any accidents, the ship would enter the Indian Ocean in about twenty days.
Their route was once part of the ancient Maritime Silk Road.
Indeed, on the fifth day at sea, Luo Feng found a sunken ship. It was an ancient merchant vessel, but there was nothing valuable inside, just some silver from the last century, some corpses, utensils, and ship tools.
Luo Feng picked up useful things, giving them to his beloved women and friends, the rich second generation. The rest was distributed to the crew to keep.
As for the ship’s body, Luo Feng had no interest in salvaging it. He sold the information to a salvage team. Whoever wanted it could come and salvage it. After all, the ship’s body itself was valuable. In the end, it was still an antique, wasn’t it?
“Are there so many sunken ships in the sea?” one of the crew members wondered.
“Definitely a lot. Going to sea is inherently dangerous, and many small ships encounter danger,” another explained.
“Ancient ships are not like the vessels of the modern age; they were all wooden structures. Of course, even today’s steel ships aren’t devoid of all problems, but they are safer!” a third crew member added.
“Think about it, how many ships have sunk in the ocean? Add them up, and the wealth in the ocean is truly astonishing!” someone else mused.
“The key is that on land, if something spills or gets lost, it can be found quickly. But in the ocean, if it sinks, it’s basically irretrievable. For ancient people, their salvaging technology was too poor!” another noted, shaking his head.
“Yes, as a result, the treasures accumulating in the ocean have become more and more. Over thousands of years, just think about how many treasures have sunk into the ocean?” someone else pondered.
“Not to mention, just one naval battle—many weapons, many ships, all would sink!” another agreed, his voice filled with awe.
For a time, the people in the live broadcast room all started discussing the treasures in the ocean.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng was sitting on his deck, with Li Shishi and Lin Yueting by his side..
