Chapter 30: There is no treasure in the deep sea
"Boss, you've been the captain of the Cang Yuan for almost ten years. How can you just give in like that?"
"You saved my life, Boss. If you want to drive you away, I, Liu San, will be the first to disagree!"
"that is!"
"Why not throw him into the sea to feed the fish when we get out to sea? It's normal for someone to die in the sea anyway!"
Everyone on the ship was very excited, and for a moment, Li Fan seemed to have become the public enemy of everyone.
The man used his hand to comfort the crew: "Calm down, everyone calm down! Although I know that everyone thinks highly of me, Zhang Haobo, the Cangyuan is after all the property of Manager Zhao, and we are all just working for him. Now that Manager Zhao wants to change people, what can I do?"
It would have been better if he hadn't said this. After Zhang Haobo said this, the crew became even more angry.
Their eyes turned red and they stared at Li Fan with murderous eyes.
Li Fan sneered in his heart.
Naturally, these little tricks used by the man named Zhang Haobo did not escape his eyes.
On the surface, he was praising Li Fan, but in fact he was arousing the crew's distrust of Li Fan.
On the surface, he was speaking for Li Fan, but in fact he was arousing dissatisfaction among the crew members.
On the surface, he was claiming that he was unable to resist, but in fact he hoped that the crew members would unite to deal with Li Fan.
Are you pretending to obey but actually disobeying, carrying the red flag to oppose the red flag?
They are just some leftovers from Li Fan's playing.
With no fear on his face, Li Fan walked up to the crew, raised his head and said loudly: "You all don't trust me, but do you also not trust Manager Zhao's judgment? Besides, we are about to go out to sea, just wait and see what I can do! I will definitely not let you down."
Li Fan's voice was so loud that it drowned out the noisy discussions of the crowd.
The crew members were so overwhelmed by Li Fan's extraordinary momentum that no one stood up to refute him.
Li Fan did not give everyone a chance. After saying goodbye, he went ahead and entered the cabin alone.
Leaving behind were a group of crew members staring at each other in dismay and Zhang Haobo with a gloomy face.
Everyone talked quietly.
"Could it be that the boy is really capable?"
"It should be... maybe it's true. Manager Zhao has a pair of incredible eyes, and he rarely makes mistakes."
"I don't think he's an ordinary person either."
…
"I don't believe you can find treasure every time you go out to sea!"
"He clearly used his connections to try to steal my position as the captain of the fleet! Do you think I don't know?"
"Anyway, I've already said my big words, I want to see how you end it!"
Zhang Haobo was secretly resentful in his heart, and he was even more furious when he saw his subordinates who were deceived by Li Fan's few words.
"Set sail! Set out to sea!"
He shouted angrily.
The Cangyuan moved without wind, sailed out of the port and headed for the sea.
More than one hundred large ships from Liuli Island also dispersed one after another and headed for their respective designated sea areas.
The Cangyuan does not rely on wind power or human power, but instead relies on a set of miniature magic arrays and is driven by spirit stones.
The boat is also equipped with a spirit guide, which will provide guidance when traces of glass fish are found in the nearby sea area.
But the ocean is vast, and the range that Lingyin can perceive is limited.
Therefore, it requires highly experienced crew members to first find the approximate range of the fish schools.
In normal years, the activities of glass fish schools are more regular and are often easier to catch.
But if a storm strikes and fish migrate, all previous experience will be useless.
It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, it all depends on luck.
But the luck of Cangyuan doesn't seem to be very good.
More than half a month has passed, and apart from catching some common fish and finding some conventional marine mines, there has been no significant gain.
Not only were the crew members all frowning, but Zhang Haobo also became anxious.
After all, there is a penalty for the last place this time.
Compared with other jobs on the island, the work of seafarers has low risks and high benefits.
No one wants to just throw it away like that.
"The island's rule is to return within a month. This is all we got this time, and it might be the least we've ever gotten. We can only hope things will turn around in the next few days. Master, please bless us."
Zhang Haobo looked at the calm and deep sea, feeling helpless.
Just then, he heard footsteps behind him.
Turning around, Zhang Haobo saw Li Fan walking towards him.
"Why, you finally decided to leave the cabin? If you hadn't remembered to get food every day, I would have thought you were dead in there."
Since going out to sea, Li Fan has been staying in his room and never communicates with anyone.
Zhang Haobo was in a bad mood and didn't look at him kindly.
Li Fan didn't pay attention to his rude words, but looked at the sea in the distance with a serious face.
He just stood there, not saying a word.
Zhang Haobo felt uneasy when he saw Li Fan's strange behavior, and looked in his direction, but he saw nothing. The sea surface was normal.
Li Fan's expression became more serious.
But he never uttered a word.
After a long time, Zhang Haobo finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Li Fan was startled, turned around, and glared at him with a look of regret on his face.
"Why are you playing tricks on me?!" Zhang Haobo felt a little guilty, but still forced himself to question.
"I want a boat!" Li Fan did not answer him, but turned his head and said in a deep voice, "I saw the treasure!"
"What..." Zhang Haobo was a little confused at first.
"What!" But then he quickly reacted and shouted, "You are kidding!"
"Quick, prepare a small boat for me. I saw jewels shining brightly under the deep sea, waiting for me to salvage them." Li Fan said in a deep voice.
Zhang Haobo was hesitating, but then he heard Li Fan say something.
"The opportunity is fleeting. The treasure's light is growing dim. I am losing my bearings on it."
Zhang Haobo immediately came to his senses.
"Quick! Prepare the boat!"
There are several small boats on the Cangyuan, which are generally used to explore narrow waterways or explore dangerous unknown waters.
It was not until the boat was lowered and Li Fan drove away alone that Zhang Haobo suddenly came to his senses.
He didn't know why he was so impulsive and believed Li Fan's words.
See treasure buried deep under the ocean?
How is that possible?
Just as he was about to say something, he heard Li Fan's voice shouting from afar.
"Don't follow me, wait for my signal!"
"Why?" Zhang Haobo couldn't help but shout.
"You're too noisy! It's easy to interrupt my sight!" Li Fan responded.
The corners of Zhang Haobo's mouth twitched, but thinking back to the scene where Li Fan glared at him just now, he seemed to think that maybe the other party was not lying.
Time passed, and two hours had passed since Li Fan left alone by boat.
"Is it possible that he ran away alone?" The crew member looked at the direction where Li Fan left and couldn't help asking.
"What nonsense are you talking about? The sea is vast and he is alone without any dry food. Where can he run to!" Zhang Haobo scolded his men and was about to say something else when he saw a red beacon light up in the distant sky.
"Hurry! Drive the boat over!" Zhang Haobo ordered hurriedly.
The Cangyuan ran at full power and quickly arrived at the location of the signal.
Li Fan was seen standing on the boat, looking tired.
"The treasure is here!" he said to the crowd.
Zhang Haobo and his companions looked at each other, not knowing whether it was true or not.
After a moment, Zhang Haobo gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Get in the water! Let go of the net!"
Amid the public's half-belief and half-doubt, one box, two boxes...
Sixteen boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were slowly salvaged.
