As Bai Yu and Wang Hai continued their search on the rocky beach, perhaps Bai Yu was just incredibly lucky that day, they found a great many high-quality seafood.
The two brothers even managed to find two lobsters that weighed five or six pounds each.
However, due to this change in the creature's identity, Bai Yu and the others could only watch the flower lobster and could not touch it.
As for those crabs weighing over a pound and those sea snails weighing over a pound, they would pick them up one after another, catching them with great enthusiasm.
As he walked, Bai Yu suddenly kicked a rock. To his surprise, the rock, which was as big as a football, was very light. He kicked it five or six meters away.
It's important to know that Bai Yu didn't kick it intentionally; he just wasn't paying attention while walking, and his toe bumped into the rock, which he then kicked away.
"Huh? What's going on? This stone is so light, yet it was kicked this far. Could it be...?"
As Bai Yu watched the flying reef, an idea popped into his mind.
On the beach, while beachcombing, Bai Yu found something that resembled a rock but was lighter in texture. Given these factors, it was hard not to think of something.
I'm sure you all know what this is by now, that's right, it's ambergris!
Those who have read novels or wish-fulfillment stories should know that the protagonist often finds ambergris while beachcombing and becomes rich overnight; that's a common occurrence.
As someone who owns Tongzi Ge, it shouldn't be a problem for Bai Yu to say that he is the protagonist.
He already possesses the system, isn't he the protagonist?
If he were the main character, then finding ambergris while beachcombing would be perfectly reasonable, wouldn't it? Wouldn't that be considered normal?
As Bai Yu walked towards the reef that resembled ambergris, he thought to himself:
'Isn't this ambergris a bit too late? He's practically financially independent now, so finding this ambergris at this point is pretty much pointless.'
After all, Bai Yu is already rich now. The sudden wealth he gained after finding the ambergris is meaningless to him. With his current net worth, buying some ambergris is a small matter for him.
However, as Bai Yu got closer to the reef, he didn't smell the fragrance he had imagined. Wasn't ambergris supposed to have a fragrance? Why didn't this stuff have any smell at all?
Even when Bai Yu picked up the stone and carefully smelled it, he couldn't smell any fragrance; instead, he smelled a faint stench.
A foul smell? Could it be that he's mistaken, and this isn't ambergris, but rather the excrement of some kind of marine creature?
Thinking of this, Bai Yu was about to throw the thing away when he picked it up and was about to throw it away when a yellow light flashed in his eyes.
"Damn, there's something else in there?"
Upon discovering this, Bai Yu immediately changed his throwing motion to slamming the stone heavily onto the reef at his feet.
With that one fall, the stone shattered completely, and from among the fragments, a golden chain emerged.
Gold chain?
Furthermore, it was found in the feces of some kind of marine organism. Does this mean that the previous owner of this chain was eaten by the owner of the feces?
Moreover, the gold necklace was ingested along with the necklace. The owner of the gold necklace was digested, but the gold necklace, due to its inherent properties, was preserved and excreted with the feces.
Having considered this possibility, Bai Yu was unsure whether he should pick up the gold chain on the ground or not. He was very hesitant.
Before Bai Yu could figure it out, Wang Hai ran over again, showing Bai Yu the items he had just found as he ran.
"Brother Yu, look what I found! A gold watch. Do you think it's pure gold?"
"Hey, Brother Yu, you found gold too! This chain is quite thick; it must weigh two or three ounces."
Wang Hai held a gold watch in his hand and then picked up the gold chain from the ground without any hesitation. Bai Yu was so fast that she couldn't stop him.
Seeing that Wang Hai had already picked up the chain, he didn't say anything more and just let it be. Since they had encountered these things, it meant that these things were destined for the two brothers, and they should belong to them.
Whether they are made of gold or not, and what bad things have happened to these items in the past, is none of their business.
In any case, they haven't heard any news about lost items or missing persons online recently.
However, just to be on the safe side, the two of them took a stroll around the beach. After finding no one else acting strangely, they then looked at the information on the gold watch and gold necklace.
"Brother Yu, do you recognize the characters on this watch? Why are they written in traditional Chinese characters?"
Bai Yu and Wang Hai found a rock and sat down, studying the brand logo and other information on it.
First, the watch that Wang Hai found had English and traditional Chinese characters written on it. Bai Yu recognized the traditional characters, which said "Chen Yiyu," while the English characters indicated a brand name, which Bai Yu didn't know much about.
Although Bai Yu didn't recognize the watch brand, he decided to ask someone. He then sent a picture of the watch to a friend.
Within just two minutes, the other party replied, saying that it was a watch from the last century, the brand name was Akron, and the style was also from the last century.
However, due to improper storage, the watch was severely damaged and was not worth much. The other party suggested that if the watch was made of gold, it should be melted down and sold for gold.
Upon hearing the other party's explanation, Bai Yu and Wang Hai exchanged a glance, then immediately took their gold watches and gold necklaces, along with their buckets, and went home.
Beachcombing?
Let's talk about it later; the two brothers have other things to take care of right now.
Bai Yu and his brother went to Bai Yu's house. After sorting their catch from the beachcombing day into different categories and putting them into the aquarium, they rode their electric bike to the processing plant. They found Bai's father in the factory manager's office and showed him the items.
"Dad, I'm showing you two things. Could you help me analyze what they're made of?"
As soon as Bai Yu entered the factory manager's office, he closed the door behind him. Then he asked Wang Hai to open the door, and sat down opposite his father, mysteriously taking out his watch and necklace.
"What's all this secrecy about? What have you two been up to this time?"
A gold watch and a gold necklace? Did you buy these? But wait, the watch and necklace look quite old. Did you find them? Where did you find them?
"Do you two know that there's a crime called unjust enrichment? If these were really gold watches and gold necklaces, wouldn't they be worth tens of thousands of dollars? That would meet the standard for unjust enrichment!"
When Bai Yu took out the gold watch and gold necklace, Bai's father was stunned. He was very curious about where Bai Hao had gotten these things.
If things go wrong, it's really possible that, as Bai's father said, the two of them could have unjustly profited. If that gets discovered, then things will get interesting.
"Dad, we did find this, but we found it on the beach. I picked up the necklace from a rock that looked like dung, and Ah Hai found the watch."
I have records of finding things here, so it shouldn't be a big problem. Could you help me check what it's made of? Is it gold?
Bai Yu briefly explained how she found the two items, and then asked again about their materials.
"You've bought so many gold bars before, how could you not recognize the material of gold bars? These two things are obviously gold."
By the way, what are you planning to do with these two things? Sell them or melt them down?
As for the materials of the watch and necklace, Bai's father only needed to touch them to know what they were made of.
There's no other reason than that Bai's father has a lot of gold bars at home, all of which Bai Yu bought one tael at a time over the years. Bai's father has touched these gold bars countless times and is already very familiar with the feel of gold.
