Zhao Kangming was stunned when he heard Lu Yuan's words.

He looked at Lu Yuan with an incredulous expression.

"You don't need to pity me for these islands. I gave them to you willingly. It's a gamble you have to pay."

Lu Yuan gently shook his head.

"You don't understand. If these props were in my hands, I would basically just resell them directly. They wouldn't create any value, so it would be more useful for you to keep them."

Hearing this, Zhao Kangming felt a warmth in his heart, but he only shook his head gently.

"No, no, no, let's forget it. If you leave it to me, I'll feel even more uncomfortable. If you take it, I'll feel better."

Because I don't really like owing people money, and since I already agreed to your bet in public, I have to keep my word.

Seeing the other party's insistence, Lu Yuan simply smiled.

"This island may have undiscovered secrets. To me, an island whose secrets have all been exposed seems more attractive than an undiscovered island, which has not been devalued."

Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhao Kangming suddenly realized what was going on.

After a knowing smile appeared on his face, he extended his right hand.

"Alright, since you've made this choice, I won't insist any further. I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

After the two shook hands, a look of satisfaction appeared on Lu Yuan's face.

The two then went to the property exchange and signed a contract for the exclusive sale, officially making the island belong to Lu Yuan.

Having acquired the island, Lu Yuan and Xiao Shan exchanged a glance, both revealing expressions of surprise and delight.

"Regardless of whether there's anything there or not, let's go to that island and take a look. If there's anything strange, we can find out in advance. Maybe we can use this island to find a way into that mysterious sea area."

Lu Yuan nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips.

"What attracts me most is the location of that island. It's very close to the mysterious sea area, and we might be able to do something through that island."

After a brief discussion, the two decided to travel together by boat to the island two days later.

After packing my things and making arrangements for my family, I finished.

Lu Yuan, Xiao Shan, Zhou Tong, and a few others boarded a speedboat and sailed towards the mysterious island.

As they headed towards Dragon Island once again, Lu Yuan and the others felt somewhat heavy-hearted.

After all, it had been a long time since I had been back to my home, and now that I could go back to the countryside to see them, I felt a little bit of anticipation.

Everyone sat on the boat and spoke very little, just staring at the sea in front of them.

The ship sped across the sea, its sharp tips cutting through the waves.

Lu Yuan glanced at the time on the map; they would arrive at their destination in three more hours.

That mysterious island was an absolute treasure trove for them.

Just then, Xiao Shan, who was standing nearby, suddenly shouted while holding binoculars.

"Look, I've spotted several warships."

Everyone was taken aback and quickly picked up their binoculars to look in the direction the other person was pointing.

Sure enough, they spotted several warships in the far distance.

However, when Lu Yuan increased the magnification, he discovered that the warships seemed to be old models from a long time ago.

The warships currently in service with their military are already several generations from now.

The warships in the distance were clearly warships that appeared many years ago.

"That makes perfect sense, those warships look so old."

Others also noticed this.

"That's right, this warship looks like it's already been decommissioned. Why is it still sailing at sea now? Isn't it afraid of being chased by those sea monsters? The old ship's speed has been too low these past few days, it simply can't escape."

Lu Yuan stared at the Jianchuan in the distance for a while, but after looking for a while, he realized that there seemed to be no one on the entire ship.

"Why do I feel like there's no one on those boats? Have you seen anyone?"

Lu Yuan's words reminded them.

After observing for a while, everyone realized that there really seemed to be no one on those ships.

"Hey, it seems that's true. There doesn't seem to be a single person on those warships. Could they have been abandoned?"

After exchanging glances, Lu Yuan finally looked down at the time.

Since they had already arrived at this place, it wouldn't be a problem for them to make a trip to the vicinity of those warships.

"Let's go and take a look, see what's going on with those ships."

So everyone immediately adjusted the warship's course and headed towards the distant warship.

Soon, they arrived in front of these warships.

Only then did they realize that there were not only these warships in the distance, but also many shipwrecks around them. These ships looked very old, some looked like they had been hit, and some were simply abandoned.

“These ships look so strange, they seem to belong to a different era. Look, they’re starting to rust.”

"These are indeed the case. The ships have clearly not been maintained for a long time. I'm afraid that in a few more years, after the seawater has completely corroded their hulls, the ships will gradually break apart, and in a few years they will sink into the sea."

"Whose warships are these? Let's go up and take a look; maybe we can find some clues about them."

So everyone raised their votes and hands in agreement, willing to go to these fronts to find out what was going on.

Lu Yuan did not object, so everyone lowered the small boats from the warship and sailed towards the abandoned ships in the distance.
