After careful investigation, they discovered that the shipwreck treasure they had identified was actually a fake!

Or, judging from the items that have been salvaged so far.

The situation here is simply not worth all the trouble and effort they've put into this salvage operation.

After salvaging most of the artifacts from the shipwreck, the White Star Line crew discovered—

The cargo ship was carrying a large quantity of counterfeit goods.

Moreover, judging from the quantity of cargo, this sunken ship was originally a smuggling vessel.

They were smuggling goods, and they were selling counterfeit products.

After expending a great deal of resources to salvage the shipwreck and its contents, the shipwreck was brought ashore.

The people at White Star Line had a sense of absurdity about the world.

Based on what they've recovered so far...

The cargo ship was originally loaded with historical artifacts, which were actually nine fakes and one genuine.

"One genuine" naturally refers to the genuine or original pieces of these historical artifacts.

The term "nine fakes" refers to the large number of counterfeit goods made by imitating genuine products.

What's even more surreal is that these are the only genuine artifacts found on the shipwreck.

It just so happens that all of them had already been taken back to the company by the divers who had been sent to check the situation and conduct preliminary investigations.

After realizing this.

At this moment, everyone from White Star Line who was in charge of the salvage operation felt a strange sensation.

It was incredibly lucky that they managed to take all those genuine items.

What misfortune must have led to this situation?

However, if someone were to see the coin that Gu Xinghe had previously handed over to Bai Xing Shipping at this moment...

They might find that the last bit of black line-like "film" covering the coin has disappeared.

The original appearance of the coin has been fully revealed.

So, what none of those present knew was—

After completely exhausting the last bit of luck that Gu Xinghe left on this coin.

The good fortune that belonged to White Star Line has now come to an end.

For them, what awaits them next is the misfortune of being left on that coin.

Therefore, the White Star Shipping personnel who are currently at the site of the shipwreck and carrying out salvage work are pondering—

If they hadn't sent out professional salvage vessels like they are now.

But if one simply acts like an individual treasure hunter, taking away the first few genuine items after finding them.

They might not have caused such severe losses today.

But under these circumstances, the people at White Star Line are beginning to think—

Could it be that the shipwreck they've discovered is a fake created by Oasis Corporation?

Regardless of whether this conjecture is reasonable or not.

But if the company encounters any problems or things that don't go right in its development, just blame it on the competitors.

However, upon closer examination by those who still possess rationality, this speculation is indeed highly unreasonable.

The amount of work involved in creating such a shipwreck site is enormous.

Is Oasis Corporation doing this simply to get Shirahoshi to invest a lot of money?

If that's the case, the resources Oasis Company invested in forging the fake documents are probably more than what they invested in the salvage operation.

At this point, some people in the know suddenly realized that the coin that was later handed over to the company's leader, Van Ka, was the one that had been discovered.

The timing of its arrival seems to have become strange.

...

For the general public, however, this happened two days later.

White Star Line, which claimed to have found a sunken treasure, has not sent back any information.

It is also possible that the salvaged object was a super-large shipwreck.

However, those who had originally followed the White Star Company out to sea with the others, intending to make do with the rudimentary facilities, discovered the truth.

Initially, they were too close to the salvage site of the shipwreck.

They were driven away a distance by the White Star Shipping Security Department.

However, the group then noticed the unusual behavior of the White Star Company personnel after they had salvaged most of the ship.

So they quickly relayed the information that White Star Shipping had found nothing at the shipwreck site.

Meanwhile, Oasis Corporation, which had been dealing with internal affairs, finally responded to the various rumors circulating outside—

Unlike the White Star Line, which yielded no results.

Without any prior announcement or "hype," Oasis Corporation suddenly declared that they had found a real shipwreck treasure!

Moreover, judging from the few exhibits they displayed in advance that were open to the public, what Oasis Company said was actually true!

In reality, the treasures found in the shipwrecks that these Oasis companies suddenly discovered were actually treasures.

Actually, these are all treasures that Gu Xinghe and Alice discovered during their ocean treasure hunt.

However, its size is too large to be placed inside the bubble space as a decorative item.

With the idea of ​​making the most of everything, these items were directly delivered to Oasis Company by the sea monsters under Gu Xinghe's control.

And the other side.

They learned that what was salvaged from the shipwreck was all worthless fakes.

And then Oasis Corporation caught up with them, discovering the real shipwreck treasure before them.

Sitting in his office, Fanka felt an unbearable headache.

In fact, he knew about these two pieces of news earlier than the average person outside the community.

In the beginning, it was he who overruled the objections of others and persuaded the other directors in the company.

A detailed and complex preliminary investigation was conducted on the newly discovered shipwreck site.

It was after receiving the experts' assessment that it indeed possessed value that he immediately decided to invest a large amount of resources in the salvage operation.

In fact, White Star Line has not mobilized such a large amount of funds and resources for a long time.

This has even led to a certain degree of disruption in the company's cash flow and other problems.

Now, they realize that their salvage operation was far too bizarre.

Vanka recalled the coin that had appeared at a similarly strange time.

The feeling was different when I picked up the coin again.

Vanka, however, found that the sense of luck he had felt from the coin had vanished.

He no longer feels that the coin is a lucky charm, unlike before.

It seems that this is because the last remaining bit of good luck has been used up.

Upon realizing this, Vanka's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
