Chapter 10: Insult Me as Much as You Can
Xiao Peng had never slept so soundly in all his time in Marseille. When he woke up, the sun was already streaming in through the porthole. He glanced at his phone. Damn, it was already eleven o'clock!
There are two reasons why he slept so long. On the one hand, he did not get enough rest the day before yesterday, and on the other hand, he exercised too vigorously last night.
The memories of last night were very good. Xiao Peng closed his eyes and recalled them, then suddenly opened them: Where is Miao Pei?
He sat up and looked around, but there was no sign of Miao Pei.
He quickly picked up his clothes, and his gold coin was still in his pocket!
When Xiao Peng touched the hard gold coins in his pocket, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the gold coins were still there.
But where did Miao Pei go?
Only then did he notice a piece of 'Kabab' and a note on the table. Was this breakfast prepared for him?
'Kabab' is a common food here. In China, it has another famous name: Turkish kebab.
Marseille, known as the "Capital of North Africa," has a large Arab immigrant population, bringing local culinary traditions with it. However, the kabab here has been refined, featuring grilled meat sandwiched between baguette or thin Lebanese flatbread. It's similar to Chinese roujiamo (Chinese roujiamo) or Shandong dabing (big flatbread).
Xiao Peng was so hungry that he took a bite of kabab and picked up the note from the table. Under the note was a pile of money. He counted it and saw two thousand euros! What did this mean?
The handwriting on the note was very delicate, and the first sentence was: "Two thousand euros for an overnight stay? Your prices are quite high!"
Xiao Peng spat out the kabab he hadn't swallowed yet, looking a little embarrassed. Didn't Miao Pei understand French? How did she know about the joke he had played with the Derridas last night?
Damn, I said I would give you 2,000 euros for one night, not you giving me 2,000 euros for one night!
This girl is quite humorous!
He continued reading. The note contained little: "Thank you so much for bringing my trip to France to a perfect end. You're right, this trip to France will be an unforgettable memory. But don't look for me, just leave the memories. Goodbye, or maybe never see you again - Miao Pei. P.S. This kabab is for your nutrition. You worked hard last night."
Xiao Peng blinked. Are all girls in China so free and easy now?
The girl has already said so, why are you still worried about it?
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief!
Miao Pei was so generous that she could easily take out 2,000 euros! This was almost half a month's income!
Xiao Peng suddenly felt something was amiss: Damn, she's so rich, why didn't she find a fancy hotel last night instead of coming to see him? He foolishly thought he'd done a good deed, but it turned out he'd already been Miao Pei's prey!
Thinking of this, Xiao Peng felt quite disappointed. He originally thought that Miao Pei did this because of her charm, but now it seems that this is really not the case! No wonder she and Wang Shuang are best friends, it seems that these two are not easy to deal with!
Looking at the two thousand euros on the table, Xiao Peng felt insulted!
Damn! If I had known, I should have told the Derridas last night that it would be 10,000 euros a night!
I would be happier if the insults were harsher!
Xiao Peng checked the time. He had to go to David Beach tonight to clean up the seabed garbage, but there was still time! He wanted to go back to the place where he found the gold coin yesterday to see if there were any more gold coins! This was all money!
Although the agreement with the ship owner forbade Xiao Peng from sailing out to sea, who cared when the emperor was far away? Xiao Peng untied the ropes and sailed out of the harbor to the place where he had dived the day before.
There are already several boats docked here. This is unavoidable, as this is a diving spot and tourists usually come here to dive.
After Xiao Peng found a safe spot to drop anchor, he was still feeling the anchor chain for signs of strain when a voice called out over the intercom: "Loire, Loire, this is Herring Sausage No. 7."
Loire was the name of Xiao Peng's small sailboat. After hearing the call, Xiao Peng picked up the intercom and said, "Loire received, please go ahead."
"Your ship is too close to us! Our anchor chain is very long, can you move a little?" The voice came from the walkie-talkie.
Xiao Peng frowned slightly. Although the other party's words were very polite, Xiao Peng felt a little unhappy!
The distance between the two ships is more than 60 meters, and the water here is only more than 10 meters deep. No matter how long your anchor chain is, can it reach me?
He did understand why the other party said that. This was a diving spot, yes, but the underwater reefs and shipwrecks were concentrated, and the surrounding area was all sandy. Of course, those who brought tourists here wanted to be as close to the diving spot as possible.
Whoever comes earlier will occupy a good position. This is an unwritten rule!
Xiao Peng was no rookie. If he and Daniel had come here with tourists, they would have definitely argued. However, he wasn't here to take people diving. His goal was the sand. So he picked up the intercom and said, "OK. Can I go 40 meters west?"
"Thank you so much!" A thank you voice came from the intercom.
Xiao Peng ignored the other party's thanks and raised the anchor again to change his position. It is estimated that the people on the opposite ship are laughing now - the 'Loire' is a rookie who is easy to bully!
After mooring the boat, he donned his diving gear, strapped on his oxygen tank, and dove directly to the seabed. After all, there were people diving nearby, and if Xiao Peng were seen diving without any gear, people would be suspicious. To prevent suspicion, Xiao Peng even held an underwater camera in his hand for show.
When he reached the bottom of the sea, Xiao Peng recalled the location where he found the gold coins yesterday and swam over.
He hadn't swum a few steps when a huge black object swam quickly towards Xiao Peng. Xiao Peng was a little stunned after seeing it clearly. Isn't this the big nurse shark from last night? Why is it here again?
The living habit of nurse sharks is to lie in caves and sleep in large groups during the day. Why is this guy so strange and only moves during the day?
No wonder it can grow so big, it’s because it eats all the food it wants!
Xiao Peng was a little depressed. "Why are you, a great shark, circling me instead of hunting? If you attract other tourists, won't that just cause me more trouble?"
But he couldn't care less right now; time was running out and he had to work tonight! He simply went straight to the sandy seabed and started shoveling sand while searching for gold coins.
But the efficiency of this work is too slow! Even if Xiao Peng had only a shovel on land, it would take a long time to turn over such a large area of sand. Now, asking him to do it with his bare hands on the seabed would be even slower!
Just when he was at a loss, the giant nurse shark swam over again, and its next behavior surprised Xiao Peng!
