"John, you said you grew up in Florida. Is there any story about your hometown?"
John was indeed drawn to him and walked over to lean against the railing next to Bai Qianzhou.
“Stories? Oh, Florida is an interesting place; there are stories everywhere.”
"And what about the sea? You know, there are often stories of sunken treasures in the sea. I once saw a movie about that."
Bai Qianzhou casually started a conversation with John, who became quite animated and began to recount stories he had heard since childhood.
Fu Wan looked around but couldn't see any ship. She went into the cabin, closed the door, and put on a coat. Of course, she also took out the five gold coins she had brought back from her sleeve.
With no one around, she could examine the gold coins more closely. The coins had patterns and letters on both sides, but there was no pattern to them.
The gold coins were also different sizes. The five that Fu Wan brought back were about the size of a duck egg in diameter, and the smaller ones were about the size of a one or two-cent coin in China.
However, it was quite heavy. Fu Wan weighed it and found that the smaller ones weighed at least five grams, while the larger ones weighed even more, possibly one or two ounces.
This was not the time to be happy, after all, this was not China, where they could openly and legitimately collect gold coins simply by reporting them.
If Fu Wan and Bai Qianzhou were to go to the seabed to retrieve gold coins, these items would not be able to pass through customs without alerting the local government.
Fu Wan's mind raced as she hid the gold coins in her luggage while simultaneously thinking of a solution.
If she wanted to collect the gold coins, she needed to seek help from others. John wouldn't do; after all, he was a foreigner. But the Mr. Kim from before might be a better choice.
Fu Wan felt no guilt whatsoever for taking the item. After all, she had found it in the sea, and the United States had launched torpedoes several times in the waters near Fu Family Village to gather intelligence. Moreover, Smith had repeatedly provoked her. If she didn't get some interest in return, people would really think she was a pushover!
Anyway, this is her personal behavior and has nothing to do with the country.
With that thought in mind, Fu Wan also hid the things well.
While Bai Qianzhou was chatting with John, he had already steered the boat far away from its previous position. Before leaving, he made a point of glancing at the coordinates on the control panel and the direction of the large reef.
Bai Qianzhou had a premonition that it wouldn't be long before he and Fu Wan would have to return to this place again.
After leaving the cabin, Fu Wan went to the bridge. When John saw her, he suddenly remembered something.
"Oh God, my lobster!"
He hadn't even picked up the lobster that Fu Wan had just given him!
Fu Wan was also helpless. Seeing John run to collect the lobsters on the deck, Fu Wan took the opportunity to say to Bai Qianzhou, "Did you see that thing? It should be the one we were thinking of."
Bai Qianzhou nodded, his face showing a mixture of solemnity and excitement.
"Ah Wan, what do you plan to do?"
"I'd like to contact Mr. Jin and ask him for his advice."
"Mr. Jin?"
Bai Qianzhou came to his senses. Right, Sun Shaoping had told them before that Mr. Jin was trustworthy and a member of the organization.
Maybe they can actually get some help from him.
Bai Qianzhou has stayed at the camp for so long, and although he is a doctor, he also deeply loves the people there.
Of course, he could also see that in order to save money, the team's food and supplies were usually of very poor quality.
China is still a giant dragon slowly awakening, and the wounds left by the foreign powers that burned, killed, and looted in previous years need time to heal.
And it would be even better if we could bring those things from the seabed back.
The two exchanged a glance, both understanding the determination in each other's eyes.
Just then, John came running over carrying a fish box.
His face was beaming with excitement. My God, what huge lobsters, and three of them at that!
This woman from China is amazing! She took one of the three animals, and she didn't forget about herself!
John felt very touched when he thought about it. Mr. Kim was so kind to him, giving him such an easy job.
"We'll have the lobster tonight. John, where are we now?"
Upon hearing this, John looked around and then ran over to Bai Qianzhou to check the directional data on the control panel.
"This is the deep sea area now, guys. Look, those boats over there are all here to fish."
"Fishing, fishing for tuna?"
"Tuna? Oh no, it's not tuna season now, but of course, my friend, you can try if you want."
"It might be a little difficult, though."
Forget about difficulties, Fu Wan found the fishing rods on the boat. John had prepared these fishing rods and bait.
Fu Wan also brought a fishing rod, one of the two lure fishing rods that Jack had given her yesterday.
Since we're already here, and it's still early, only a little past two in the afternoon...
Seeing that Fu Wan wanted to go fishing, John quickly took out the bait he had prepared, but when Fu Wan saw the bait in the bucket, she was startled again.
Holy crap, it was live bait!
An octopus still crawling around spraying ink, and small sea fish darting around everywhere.
John even thoughtfully poured some seawater in.
"Weren't these baits processed?"
"Why bother processing it, Fu? Live bait is better for fishing."
John assumed Fu Wan didn't understand, so after baiting his fishing rod, he explained it to her again.
Florida does not restrict live bait fishing at this time; the main idea is that if you're good at it, you can fish.
Despite saying that, Fu Wan still took a knife and cut the half-dead squid in the bucket in half.
The lure fishing rod has two hooks, one on each side.
After casting the fishing rod, Bai Qianzhou began to steer the boat at a steady speed. Due to the boat's speed, the reel spun rapidly until the line had been released about two hundred meters before Fu Wan stopped it from spinning.
What does it matter if it's in season? What if you get lucky and catch a fish?
I promised old William, so I can't let him down.
John was unaware that Fu Wan had agreed to go tuna fishing with old William. He was also an experienced fisherman, but he had no intention of fishing for tuna, so he didn't let out such a long fishing line.
He used an octopus the size of an egg as bait, casting the whole octopus out the hook, and the fishing rod stirred in less than ten minutes.
"Oh, I've caught a fish!"
The young foreigner exclaimed in surprise, then began to reel in his fishing line. Fu Wan watched the spectacle from the side. The fish John had caught was swimming deep, and seeing the line taut, John quickly let out several more meters of line.
It's no small fish that can swallow such a big octopus whole. Bai Qianzhou also heard John's shout and skillfully increased the speed to help him play with the fish.
Fu Wan leaned against the side of the boat, looking at the sea. The visibility in the water here was quite good. The fish seemed to have run out of energy after swimming around for a while.
Just as John was rapidly reeling in the fishing line, the fishing rod suddenly plunged downwards. At the same time, Fu Wan also saw a huge dark shadow in the sea.
"Humpback whale, John, stop pulling! Cut the fishing line!"
