Big Data Cultivation-Chapter 1879 - 1881: The Earth Deity Returns to His Old Profession
This salvage company is not desperately trying every possible method, thinking they can casually retrieve a shipwreck.
In fact, they have six potential wreck sites for three shipwrecks.
Of course, these sites are speculative, but there is a certain credibility to them—in terms of probabilities, it’s impossible that all six locations are false, and what they need to do now is find one of the shipwrecks as quickly as possible.
For them, the higher the value of the goods on the shipwreck, the better, but they actually care more about time than value—even if the value isn’t substantial, as long as they can prove they have the capability and luck to salvage a shipwreck, everything is negotiable.
Sofia expressed that she could understand the other party’s fear, but she hoped to obtain specific coordinates—as long as the range is slightly larger, it’s not a problem, but without any information, praying will have little effect.
We must admit, Western countries truly have a different level of acceptance of religion than Eastern countries, after all, no matter what they do, they can leave their mental burdens behind just by confessing in a confessional booth.
Ms. Britain was the same with Sofia, revealing the six locations and even the names of the ships, although she slightly expanded the range, it was considered quite open-hearted.
Actually, the woman thought that if they couldn’t quickly salvage a shipwreck, she and her lover would go bankrupt, forcing her to give up her beloved wandering lifestyle, break up with him, and return home to inherit the family business.
In short, if this operation fails to yield results, she won’t have any use for this shipwreck information anyway.
Sofia nodded, asked a few more questions, and realized she hadn’t received any Divine Sense from Feng Jun, so she gave each of the three a Talisman Pouch, conveying that carrying it could moderately ensure safety.
The woman was a bit puzzled, again asking why she didn’t want the one hundred thousand British Pounds?
Sofia explained, our Daoist Temple’s Patron, the True Martial Great Emperor, never engages in transactions with people. Given that you are unaware of the rules, your offense is forgiven. Please go back first. If you truly gain something, you may come to fulfill your promise.
After the three left, Sofia found Feng Jun, "Is it really difficult to figure out these six points? You didn’t even give me a hint."
"It’s not that difficult, but there’s no need for you to explain," Feng Jun replied lazily. Although he isn’t one to pretend to be a monk, he knows this game well enough, "I have a better way to manifest holiness in front of people... but I still need to inspect first." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
His Divine Sense is quite powerful now, but when it comes to searching for shipwrecks, it’s far inferior to that pervert Earth Spirit—the Five Elements Spirit subsists on its own talents, and although his Divine Sense is formidable, penetrating over several hundred meters of seawater from afar is equally challenging.
Therefore, it’s still necessary to get closer, use the Divine Sense to examine once, then check more detailed specifics with a mobile phone afterwards.
However, the troublesome part is that the three ships at six locations are in three different directions, which still took some of his time.
Among these six points, two indeed have sunken ships.
One site is over five hundred meters deep, salvaging it is not too difficult, but the goods on board are not of high value.
The other site is nearly eight hundred meters deep and surprisingly has two ships, which seem to have collided, yet there is a lot of gold and silver on board.
"Does this mean I’ve become a dowry donor for others?" Feng Jun couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head, clearly having discovered the shipwreck, and the value of the second location’s shipwreck—he isn’t very knowledgeable about antiques, but he certainly understands gold and silver.
Considering adding some cultural property value as well, earning an easy thirty million Huaxia Yuan from the second shipwreck is no problem.
Bear in mind, thirty million is the base price, not the valuation!
However, Feng Jun prides himself on his integrity, having chosen this line of work; things that aren’t his, he has no interest in touching—primarily because when people become wealthy, they tend to become more virtuous, of course, if there were Huaxia cultural relics inside, then it’d be a different story.
All six locations are not in the direction of Spirit Stone Mines, and when Feng Jun returned, it wasn’t even nine o’clock at night. When Sofia asked him about the situation, he explained everything, though he deemed her involvement unnecessary—just being aware was enough.
Thereafter, he arrived in Sydney City, where the three were staying in a suburban villa, along with a few individuals who were clearly crew members.
The three had considerable disputes about the next day’s sea expedition. The Dane insisted that "Bruce" had the clearest trajectory, while Ms. Britain believed "Fernando" was the most worth betting on.
However, one of Fernando’s two possible locations is within Indonesia’s exclusive economic zone, which could pose some issues.
The Dane resolutely opposed the woman’s suggestion, and the three argued until eleven o’clock at night, still reaching no conclusion.
Feng Jun knew very well that the Bruce wasn’t at either of those possible locations, and even after expanding the search range, he hadn’t found that ship—in fact, the other two ships had indeed sunk.
Thus, he made a trip back to Huaxia and brought Lin Heihu directly over.
The former Earth Deity strongly resisted coming to the "Barbaric Wilderness," having live-streamed for quite some time, he spoke rather fashionably, "Mountain Master Feng, although I no longer hold the Divine Position of Earth Deity, my roots of divinity formed in Huaxia, and I have a fear of going abroad."
"I’m not asking you to fight," Feng Jun replied nonchalantly, "just to play to your strengths... mainly because I’m not good at it."
"What is there that Mountain Master Feng isn’t good at?" Lin Heihu seemed a bit dismissive; he wasn’t trying to flatter but really believed it, "Then there’s no point in you bringing me here. Everything I know, you’re better at."
"I’m not very good at dream communication."
The Earth Deity was taken aback by these words, but finally nodded, "Well, that’s something I’m indeed quite skilled at."
That night, two out of the three people had dreams; the only one who didn’t was the Dane.
The next morning, Ms. Britain talked with her lover, "I dreamed of the True Martial Great Emperor last night. He said the Burruchaga is more suitable and warned me not to look for the Bruce... said it would be life-threatening."
"No way?" The Australian man was shocked, "I had a dream too, and it mentioned the second location for the Burruchaga... how about you?"
"Oh my God, this is simply amazing," Ms. Britain couldn’t help but jump up, ambition gleaming in her eyes, "It said the Fernando would yield more, but would be difficult to survey and salvage... did you have a similar dream?"
"Of course," the Australian man was equally animated, "In fact, next to the Fernando’s wreckage, there’s another wreck, the Organ. Wow, wasn’t it supposed to have sunk twenty years ago?"
The two exchanged information, growing more and more excited as they talked. Eventually, the woman couldn’t help but sigh, "The ability to control dreams... I’ve decided, from now on, I’ll be a loyal follower of the True Martial Great Emperor. I like his helmet, how about you?"
"Well... it’s quite nice," the Australian man stammered.
The woman, knowing him too well, asked, "Isn’t the helmet great?"
The man hesitated for a while, then took the plunge, "I dreamed of Ms. Sofia..."
A fierce battle broke out instantly; Ms. Britain went wild, becoming even more terrifying than the man. The Australian man’s face was soon covered with scratches, "I gave up my family’s business, and this is how you repay me?"
The man also couldn’t take it anymore and kicked her a few times, "You can go back to your family... I like a nomadic life, but I don’t like a shrew!"
Things seemed quite serious, but what happens between couples often comes and goes quickly. In no time, the two were wrestling on the bed, gazing into each other’s eyes, their breaths becoming rapid...
Half an hour later, they emerged looking all put together, while the Dane was already having breakfast, a hint of a mischievous smile on his lips, "I thought you’d come for lunch."
Unfortunately, the soundproofing of this villa was quite poor, and the two had made quite a ruckus during their brief but intense battle just now.
"We were planning the route," Ms. Britain, strong in many ways, stated, "We’ve decided to salvage the damned Burruchaga, are you coming?"
"Sorry, I’m not going," the Dane shook his head firmly; he was here to make money, "I’m determined to find the Bruce. You promised me... respect the captain’s decision!"
The three of them started this company together, each contributing thirty-three thousand British Pounds, totaling one hundred thousand. The difference was that the Dane put in all he had, the Australian was in debt, and Ms. Britain used her family’s investment share.
That’s how the investment was structured, but the company’s charter included the "Captain Clause." The Australian and Ms. Britain were not good at salvaging shipwrecks, and the Dane had veto power.
Of course, originally they were all good friends, and the Captain Clause was just set to prevent disagreements — one moment a loving couple could be feeding you dog food, and the next they could be tearing at each other.
And a ship sailing on the ocean is dangerous; the captain’s voice must be heeded.
In fact, the three of them had always worked well together; although they were amateurs playing for fun, they would discuss matters together when problems arose. Those who could come up with thirty thousand British Pounds generally weren’t poor.
Actually, their salvage company had salvaged two small wrecks before; overall, their financial status was healthy. Otherwise, they couldn’t have taken loans to buy a big ship, but now, encountering some unexpected storm, they were about to meet their end.
Right now, the company was in a life-or-death situation. The Dane thought he understood the situation too well, that his two partners were being foolish, so he naturally had to make a decisive decision — the Bruce was clearly the best choice.
But at this moment, Ms. Britain spoke up, "The Daoist Temple said it’s very risky to search for the Bruce."
Very risky... Not far away, Feng Jun was puzzled: Did I actually say that?
Oh well, if there’s risk, then so be it. He didn’t think it was a big deal.
