Chapter 977 Trading an Island for Treasure



Regardless of whether it's official history or unofficial history, or where these materials are hidden or whether there's a firewall.

If I can find it online, I'll have my assistant get it for me.

Mermaid!

The Pirate King also has a fascinating backstory; legend has it that he was once a small-time pirate.

Once, he was besieged by the authorities and fled to a small island. At that time, his men were either injured or on the verge of death.

He was utterly despondent and even contemplated suicide by jumping into the sea, when he heard a beautiful song.

He followed the song and found a mermaid.

It was the mermaid who gave him a sword, making him invincible from then on.

To thank the mermaid, the pirate king hung a statue on the bow of his ship...

This mermaid is always stirring up trouble! She wants to ask a pirate for help.

Wait! A sword?

I looked at the mermaid's clasped hands...it seemed like a sword could fit inside them.

The sword I took from the golden skeleton?

Since we're all in the same boat anyway, I have to give it a try.

With that in mind, I quietly pushed open the door, trying not to disturb Aunt Jun and the others' rest.

As soon as I entered the corridor, I stopped there.

There are people! Two of them, they just came in through the bathroom window.

I watched them using a grid view.

They opened the door a crack, and I slipped behind it.

A man in black peeked out, trying to see if anyone was in the corridor.

However, it stayed there immediately.

I stepped out from behind the door, opened it, and the person inside was also frozen in place.

I look directly at their most recent memories.

Sevin!

These two were the people he brought to the island; one was the eleventh apostle, and the other was the twelfth apostle.

If they can't buy it, they'll steal it. The people of the Black Heaven have quite a few tricks up their sleeves, don't they?

These two people came up from the office building's sewer system.

This way, it can indeed avoid most robotic dogs, and the robotic eagle is even less likely to be seen.

However, this did give me a heads-up, so I sent a robotic eagle over to hide in a tree and keep a close watch on the manhole covers.

There are security cameras inside the building, but not in the restrooms?

I handed the two men over to the security team and asked them to notify the logistics department to install a few more surveillance cameras on the roof tomorrow.

Then I went back to the villa, took the sword, and returned to the factory.

When I plunged the sword into the mermaid's hand, her blue hair turned red, but there was only one spot that remained unchanged.

A map is displayed above, with a blue background and red lines.

Is this... underwater terrain? There are coordinates next to it.

It turns out the treasure map wasn't the mermaid herself, but rather the paint on it.

It can actually react with the sword.

This pirate is pretty smart!

Having memorized that picture, I took the sword down.

It wasn't in the trench; it should be not far from the section of the trench I went down into.

The painting depicts two underwater hills with a mermaid in the middle, which should be the location of the treasure.

This should be underwater, so how did the Pirate King manage to put it there? The shallowest part of that area is at least a kilometer deep.

There were no submarines back then, so you couldn't just throw them down from above, could you?

It seems I'll have to go and see for myself.

Having unraveled the secret of the statue, I practiced the meditation technique until dawn.

...

In the morning, I first went to train the female pilots, and then I received news that the League of Nations' Unnatural Research Society had arrived.

If they want to see me, then I have to see them.

not see!

I also need to mix paint to erase the map from the mermaid's body!

I don't want to see them, but they always find a way to force me to.

They brought in an official from Great Xia stationed at the League of Nations, who arranged a meeting with me on behalf of Great Xia.

There was no other way. I scraped off all the paint in the morning and sprayed it with ordinary anti-corrosion blue paint, because I had to see them in the afternoon.

"Mr. Zheng! It's really not easy to see you!"

As soon as I entered the conference room, the president of the International Association for the Study of the Unnatural said this.

Damn! "Didn't we see it?"

"You old bastard, if it weren't for the respect due to the Great Xia people, would I even see you?" He sat at the head of the table, truly treating himself like an outsider.

The official from Daxia was standing next to him, nodding at me somewhat embarrassedly.

Out of respect for the people of Daxia, I won't argue with him and will sit in the second-highest seat.

The rest were mostly people from various countries from yesterday, including the Green Philippines that I beat up.

I glanced at him, and he quickly lowered his head.

And then there's Sevin. He seemed a bit awkward when he saw me. I've arrested his men again, so I'll have to squeeze him dry later.

"Speak! What do you want from me?"

The president chuckled and said, "We heard that Mr. Zheng obtained something from the Pirate King at the bottom of the sea. We were wondering if we could all study it together."

"Together?" I looked around at the people present. "With you guys?"

"Yes! The Pirate King left behind many legends, and everyone wants to see his treasure. Even if they can't find the treasure, they can still study the statues."

Shameless! Such an expensive item, and they're supposed to study it?

"No need to study it anymore, I've already finished studying it. The entire statue is made of a metal called 'Zheng' that was just discovered on the seabed."

As for the Pirate King, I don't see anything to do with him.

I took out my laptop, and a thought struck me. The large screen in the conference room lit up, displaying a scanned image of the statue.

Everyone looked at the pictures carefully; there were several pictures from different angles.

Below are the ingredients, including the pigments, but I changed the hair pigment data to the pigments I just sprayed.

After they looked at it for a while, the chairman laughed and said, "Mr. Zheng! Is it possible that your research method is wrong, and that it actually contains the Pirate King's treasure map?"
