There weren't as many people waiting to buy samples today, but there were still some, as some of them wanted samples for research.

The country wants more metals containing the element Zheng.

As soon as I got ashore, they gathered around and the first thing they saw was the mermaid statue.

The people from the Goose Kingdom immediately shouted, "Island Lord Zheng! We'll buy this statue!"

Their eagerness made them seem more precious than the ore below.

"Hey everyone! Stop buying! We're not selling what we brought up this time."

However, I will build an exhibition hall, and I will make the following items into specimens for everyone to visit later.

"Island Master Zheng! Is anyone allowed to visit?"

Someone on the shore immediately asked.

"That's right! As long as you come to Gaim Island, you can visit the exhibition hall for free."

"That's great."

"Just visiting isn't enough. We want to conduct research."

I shouted, "I will investigate for you. I will make public all the data on deep-sea minerals and organisms, as well as parameters such as water depth, water temperature, and water pressure."

The people above nodded repeatedly, it seemed my method would work. Even before the exhibition hall opened, they already looked very interested.

If this works, then I'll do it this way.

While exhibiting deep-sea samples, we can also make some souvenirs. Since admission is free, many people will spend money to buy souvenirs.

Except for the Taiwanese who still wanted to buy the statue and hadn't left, everyone else dispersed.

I brought the submersible ashore, but soon the Black Heaven's people arrived.

They must have known about the statue.

"Island Master Zheng! Where did you find this statue?"

Damn! I thought I was going to have to pay!

"I made it myself."

"ah?"

I rolled my eyes at him. Who does he think he's going to take advantage of? He keeps avoiding any questions, just trying to get me to provide information.

“Island Lord Zheng! Sell me this statue, name your price.”

"Wait!" The people from the Goose Country also came up: "We've got our eye on this statue. If it's going to be sold, it should be sold to us first."

Before I could even process why they wanted that statue, people from Yangben and Faguo also came running over:

"We want this statue too."

Holy crap? What's going on? Why are they all interested in this statue?

Seeing that I was surrounded, the people of Great Xia gathered around, and a captain came to my side:

"Engineer Zheng! What are they doing?"

"I don't know either. I just pulled a statue out of the sea, and they started to snatch it."

The captain glanced at the statue: "What's so special about this statue?"

What are they talking about? I also think there's nothing wrong with the statue, but they're arguing about it so heatedly.

Judging from this, I can't just make a move on this statue. I need to find out why they want it so much.

With that thought in mind, I drove the submersible away, and they were so engrossed in their argument that they didn't even notice.

Upon arriving behind the city hall, Lu Qianning's eyes widened as soon as she saw the statue:

"My God, where did you get this thing from?"
