Chapter 194 A Gentleman is Always Poor

Not to mention that this guy's point of view is really interesting. I have to say that all trolls have very strange imaginations. You can't say he is wrong from this angle.

Not all merchant ships can successfully reach their destination. Discovering a shipwreck usually means death, and this place is so far away from the land that it is very likely that everyone has died at the bottom of the sea.

The shipwreck may also be the tomb of these people, and the act of salvaging the shipwreck is indeed tomb robbery from another perspective.

Xiao Peng blinked. He couldn't really refute what this guy said. He thought for a moment, picked up the pottery jar and said, "What you said does make sense. My behavior is indeed very similar to tomb robbing. So here's the question. I have a burial object for you. Do you want it?"

"Fuck!"

"This is a relic over 2,000 years old! Can you really give it to someone?"

"Trolls are treated so well? Then I'll be a troll too!"

The troll scoffed, "Do you think I'm stupid? These are national treasures. How can you just give them away? You've been in a foreign country, haven't you? I'll teach you two things: A gentleman, even in poverty, refuses to accept charity! I don't want it!"

Xiao Peng grinned. "You don't want it? That's what you said! Come on, today is my first day of live streaming, so I have to give everyone some gifts. I'll give you this bottle as a gift, but don't think it's a valuable item. A Moussaka-style narrow-necked bottle like this is only worth 1,800 euros. After all, you've seen a lot of these things on the seabed, and its cultural relic value is even more precious. But the cost of sending it back to China is not low. It will cost me about 10,000 or 20,000 euros, so it's still worth something. I don't understand the rules of live streaming and how to draw prizes. So, I'll count to three and then take a photo of the screen. Whoever's first comment in the comment section gets the bottle! Three, two, one... Okay, this 'Lantian Sun Warms Jade and Produces Smoke'. Send me your address in a private message and I'll contact someone to send the bottle to you!"

"Oh, this guy is so lucky."

“Why wasn’t I the winner?”

"Is this considered a family heirloom?"

Then the troll suddenly started copying and pasting the same thing over and over again: "You've all been fooled! He wouldn't mail you something like this! These are all artifacts! He's just tricking you into posting comments to increase his popularity!"

Xiao Peng grinned. "Dude, there's something I need to tell you: I own a legitimate ocean exploration company. According to salvage regulations, I discovered this shipwreck, and 90% of the treasure in it belongs to me. Actually, I don't want to salvage a shipwreck like this because dealing with these bottles is too cumbersome. Even if I salvage them all, I'll only make a few hundred thousand euros at most, and I'll have to waste time dealing with local museums and government departments. It's not a good deal. So I decided to give this shipwreck to Spain. Taking a bottle from them is no big deal! In fact, they wouldn't say anything if I took a bunch. But I'm too lazy to go down and get this crap."

The troll was silent for a while before suddenly typing, "That bottle is mine. You just said it was for me. I want this ceramic bottle!"

Xiao Peng grinned. "Didn't you just say 'A gentleman is always poor' and 'wouldn't accept food given out of pity'? I'm a tomb robber, and you're asking me for money? You're no longer a gentleman just because you see money? I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't use it! I'll check your private message, write down the address, and have someone bring this bottle back to you! Oh my god!"

Hearing his exclamation, Pascal asked, "What happened?"

Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." He said to the computer screen, "I just opened the private messages. Oh my god, so many people sent me private messages? Those who changed their names and sent addresses to scam people can just get lost. Can you dare to be more despicable? Okay, I found the winner's address. I'll mail the item to you when I return. In addition, so many people sent me photos and said, 'Handsome guy, I want to have a baby for you.' Let me make it clear here: I don't like this. First of all, I'm wearing a mask and you don't know what I look like. How do you know I'm a handsome guy? This is deceiving! And besides...you want to have a baby for me but don't send me your address. Aren't you kidding me?"

"puff!"

"So you're angry about not having an address!"

"I'll send you the address right now!"

"Handsome guy, I don't need you to come find me, just give me your address and I'll find you!"

Xiao Peng ignored them and continued to laugh: "Next, I have to start my work routine. I won't be able to broadcast live from now on!"

After hearing Xiao Peng's words, the live broadcast room exploded: "Don't worry, why don't you broadcast it anymore?"

"We're still waiting for your next lottery draw!"

"Yeah, what prize will you give me when you find another shipwreck?"

"I want gold!"

"I want diamonds!"

"I want the anchor!"

Xiao Peng said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished what I said. I didn't say I was going to stop live streaming! Let me tell you a secret. Although I'm at sea, all the network fees are paid for by someone, so I can broadcast as much as I want and you can watch as much as you want. I'm now entering the working waters. Because I signed a confidentiality agreement, I can't broadcast the next work progress to you, but you are in for a treat now. It's time for you to appreciate the French beauties! I know you don't understand what they are saying, but pleasing the eyes is the most important thing, right? If you can speak French, please translate it for me. Jenny, it's up to you now!"

Xiao Peng handed the camera to Jenny. Jenny glanced at the live broadcast room and said, "Fuck, there are actually 14 million people watching the live broadcast now?"

Xiao Peng smiled at her. "After all, this is our first livestream, so there aren't many people here yet. There will only be more people in the future. I've already set the stage for you. Let Blair and Lisa show off their abilities. If you're brave enough, just jump into the sea. Don't worry, Nightingale won't hurt them. If you're too scared to go in, that's fine. I've brought plenty of fish and shrimp in the refrigerator. You can feed it on the boat. It's all up to you from now on!"

Jenny laughed: "Xiao, just trust me, I have experience in this matter!"

Xiao Peng waved at the camera and said, "Friends, now is the time to relax. I hope you enjoy watching the video."

After he finished speaking, he closed the hatch and walked to the inner bridge: "Little Pa, raise the gusset sail and advance slowly, and search slowly along the route I specified!"

Pascal said, "Xiao, I still don't understand why we are searching this location."

Xiao Peng explained, "I thought about it. With the advancement of technology, even if a submarine malfunctioned, it wouldn't have been possible to lose contact. A distress signal should have been sent out, and at worst, the soldiers could have tried to escape through the torpedo tubes. But nothing like that happened. What do you think this means?"

"Someone stole the submarine?"

“…I shouldn’t have asked you.”
