The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 186 - 187: Flaunting Wealth

Its voice has the power to confuse people. It used to ’move’ sailors to throw it food with its singing. Later, when sailors started wearing earplugs, it had to board ships to beg for food.

But as soon as it got on board, the sailors would either run away or hide, so it would go rummaging for food and found they had a special place to store food—the kitchen.

This time, things got tricky. Everyone was in the dining room, and they couldn’t avoid it. It sang its heart out, but alas, the language barrier was there. It thought its singing was quite touching, but to them, it was more like a dirge.

Every group has its fate. Although its background story is pitiful, there’s not much I can do to help it.

Chen Qinghan wrapped up this topic, turned to ask me if the green light had affected me.

My eyes instinctively glanced to the side, a little gesture that naturally couldn’t escape Chen Qinghan’s notice. He ended the topic considerately before I could think of a lie.

He didn’t show any unhappiness or disappointment from not being trusted. Instead, he started talking about his eyes, saying that in recent days, he felt like he was seeing double.

He now has triple irises, and it’s fortunate enough that I haven’t poisoned him blind. It’s impossible for us to ask a doctor on board to check him.

He said he asked Bi Shi for advice on how to solve this issue.

I blew up as soon as I heard this, "What? You asked her? She—"

I suddenly realized my voice was too loud, even the sound of the water in the bathroom couldn’t cover it, so I quickly lowered my voice and muttered, "All she has are failed experiences!"

Chen Qinghan didn’t come to ask me, probably afraid that I’d have to use my brain. He knew the more I recall, the greater the risk.

But I have already searched through my memories and found no relevant information, no experiences to draw on.

"She said she has a way." The expression on Chen Qinghan’s face when he said this didn’t look confident at all. His brows were slightly furrowed, indicating that Bi Shi’s method might be difficult.

"What method?" I really wanted to hear what kind of bad idea she’d come up with.

"If you want to dilute the toxicity in the blood, you could try using tears."

I made an ’oh’ sound and nodded, not bothering where this method’s rationale came from, I just want to know where my tears would come from.

Crying is impossible; not for thousands of years, no, it should be since the day I was born, I have never cried!

So, getting my tears is much harder than drawing blood, and ordinary methods are ineffective.

Once, a foreign tomb robber tried to use garlic to ward me off, but it was useless. There was a Huaxia person among his companions who suggested improving the formula by mashing the garlic and adding salt.

They poured a whole bowl of mashed garlic on my face, and my eyes were just fine.

So, trying to get my tears is futile, they might as well get him a pair of correction glasses.

"Bi Shi’s word isn’t reliable. Her experiments are all failures, plus she doesn’t have tears, how could she know if it works? She was definitely fooling you."

"Hmm, maybe it’ll be better in a few days, it’s not a big problem."

"No worries, I’ll get you the best glasses we can afford~" I patted the pocket with the pearl necklace and suddenly remembered I had another treasure. I quickly took out the pearl hairpin to show him, "Look at this, found it below, is it valuable?"

Chen Qinghan took a closer look and said, "It’s possible, such large pearls are worth quite a bit."

Underwater ancient ruins aren’t ancient tombs. The items I took can only be considered as picking up things; that place doesn’t belong to any country, taking them is just taking them.

I put away the items safely. If I lost them, I would be deeply upset.

"Treasure-seeker." Chen Qinghan shook his head and sighed.

"That’s how zongzi are, you see the novels, if you touch their burial goods, they’ll fight you to the death~"

"Yeah, so zongzi without their own burial goods go and take others’." Chen Qinghan hit the mark precisely, leaving me speechless.

Chen Qinghan then put away the joking tone and started discussing the affairs of the Sea of Sunken Ships with me. He needed to write a report when he went back and wanted to discuss with me whether there was anything I didn’t want others to know about so he could omit it.

The events at the Sea of Sunken Ships had nothing to do with our work content, but since they happened during work hours, Chen Qinghan needed to explain the situation to superiors.

He hadn’t told anyone about my true identity, so the part about the ’supernatural’ had to be omitted. The identity he fabricated for me was that of a skilled and talented individual, so saying I saved them with my abilities wasn’t that unbelievable.

We hadn’t had a proper chat in some time, and once we started talking, it went on until dinner time.

After the Sea Demon left, the crew stopped bothering me. Bi Shi mentioned that Captain Jack went to the dining room, possibly to talk to the crew.

In short, it worked out well. During dinner, when Chen Qinghan and I went to the dining hall, the crew’s looks towards me had changed again.

They no longer viewed me with hostility, but neither did they treat me as a normal person. I didn’t know what Captain Jack had told them, but they still seemed quite wary of me.

During meals, they kept a distance from our table, leaving an empty circle of tables around us while they squeezed six people onto a table meant for four.

Captain Jack allowed the crew to move freely, and during dinner, we all gathered together again, and their condition was much better. Only Zhou, because of his broken leg, couldn’t walk and therefore didn’t join them.

They’d heard about the Sea Demon incident and were very angry at what the crew did, believing that without my ability to understand beast language, what they did would surely have killed me.

It seemed Captain Jack believed my fabricated extraordinary skill. I didn’t explain it to them further since this interpretation wasn’t wrong.

I told them to remain calm—that this was their turf, and of course, they made the rules.

If they united to do something, Captain Jack wouldn’t dare oppose them, not out here on the open sea where fists and the number of fists count more than anything else.

Both the team leader and Lu Xiaodao were reserved types; they were just temporarily upset and would soon calm down.

Guan Hai was less experienced and somewhat impatient and asked if we were just going to let it go like that?

We’d been through life and death together these days, and they clearly treated me as one of their own now.

Seeing that one of their own almost got harmed, it was natural they’d be upset. I reassured them, telling them I was fine and that if something had happened, Chen Qinghan alone could have taken them all down.

Guan Hai retorted indignantly, "But we can’t just let it go!"

The mysterious organization backing this fishing boat is a big backer, and if I suffer a bit of loss, I’d have to endure it~

Bi Shi coldly huffed nearby, "As if, she’s got a mind full of scheming, you guys don’t have to worry about her."

Lu Xiaodao glanced at Bi Shi, nodded in agreement, seeming to recall something, and looked at the crew with a fleeting hint of sympathy.

The team leader patted Guan Hai’s shoulder, urging him to hurry and eat. It seems my image was ruined; I wanted to play the role of the delicate beauty, relying on others, yet reality betrayed my intentions.

Being reunited on the ship, everyone had much to chat about. At first, we had been strangers, yet now we talked as if we were old friends who had known each other for years.
