Chapter 11 The Big Shark Attracts the Big Shot
Seeing Xiao Peng stirring up the sea sand, the nurse shark followed suit and used its square head, which looked like a nurse's cap, to stir up the sea sand.
Its square head is naturally designed for this job. Marine creatures such as flatfish, stingrays, and octopuses that like to live in sea sand are also on the nurse shark's diet. Turning over sea sand is truly a part of its daily life.
Xiao Peng initially thought that the nurse shark was going to find food here, but the nurse shark flipped over the seabed and began to circle around Xiao Peng.
Is this...taking credit?
Xiao Peng shook his head. Sharks couldn't be that smart.
But the scene before him made him feel that this seemed to be true, so he pointed to a piece of sand next to him and flipped his hand to signal the nurse shark to flip it over.
The nurse shark clearly didn't understand Xiao Peng's actions and didn't try to flip the sand. Xiao Peng gave a wry smile: Was he crazy? Trying to command a giant shark? Better to work harder and dream less. Just flip the sand yourself.
As a result, when he turned over the seabed, the nurse shark started moving again, and when it reached the location on the seabed that Xiao Peng pointed, it also turned up the sea sand!
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. Did the Big Shark understand what he said or was he imitating him?
This puzzled him, but he didn't have time to dwell on it! Suddenly, a small patch of light appeared where the nurse shark had flipped over! He looked over and almost laughed out loud! A similar "slave coin" lay quietly on the seabed!
Xiao Peng perked up and went over to touch the giant nurse shark's head, thinking to himself, "My dear shark, if you were smart enough to turn over the entire seabed, I'd have a lot less trouble!"
The nurse shark suddenly became like a chicken with its blood pumped up, turning up the sand back and forth on the seabed, causing chaos on the seabed!
Oh my god! This is amazing!
Xiao Peng quickly went to the place where the nurse shark had flipped over and followed behind him to see if he could find anything.
But his good luck seemed to have run out, and he did not find any gold coins along the way. However, he was not without gain: he found a silver coin with the same pattern as the gold coin, but the texture of this silver coin was obviously not as pure as the gold coin. There were many impurities in it, and the color was black and dull.
But it's better to have something than nothing.
He originally planned to continue commanding the nurse shark to turn over the sea sand, but the noise here was too loud and attracted nearby divers. He saw someone swimming towards him in the distance, so he quickly signaled the nurse shark to stop and took out the underwater camera to pretend to film the nurse shark.
As a result, the nurse shark became excited when it saw Xiao Peng playing with him. It chased him and let Xiao Peng hold his dorsal fin to swim together. The two of them had a lot of fun playing on the seabed.
Xiao Peng did know one thing for sure: this nurse shark actually understood his gestures and interacted with him. It's smarter than a dog! It's a shame this shark lives in the ocean, otherwise I'd definitely take it home as a pet!
The diving enthusiasts watched with envy as Xiao Peng and the nurse shark played and interacted on the seafloor. They wanted to join in, but although nurse sharks are generally gentle, they will fight back if a large crowd of people threatens them. If a large shark were to push its head against them, few people would be able to withstand it!
After pretending to play with the nurse shark for a while, Xiao Peng signaled it to leave quickly and swam to the surface of the sea. Some people wanted to follow the nurse shark, but the shark soon disappeared, so they followed Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng was sitting on the boat taking off his diving equipment and preparing to return home, but he was startled by several heads suddenly popping out of the sea next to him.
"Are you...something wrong?" Xiao Peng felt a little uneasy when he saw the heads in the water. There were both men and women among them, and they all looked at him strangely.
"Come on first. Can we talk on the boat?" A white woman swam to Xiao Peng's boat and asked.
Xiao Peng shrugged and said, "As long as you're not here to rob me, please come up. But I don't have any coffee here, only soda water. I hope you don't mind."
"Of course I don't mind!" The woman said hello to the people behind her and boarded Xiao Peng's boat. There were a few people on the small boat, but it could fit them all.
Xiao Peng felt something was amiss: these people didn't seem like ordinary people; their diving equipment was incredibly advanced! For example, the professional underwater camera alone could buy five or six boats like Xiao Peng's.
Where do these people come from?
Xiao Peng took out four bottles of soda water and gave them to them. After they thanked him, the woman smiled and began to introduce herself. "Thank you for your hospitality. Let me introduce myself. I'm Sine Sala, the host of France 5 TV. This is photographer Armand. These two are marine ecologists Fabien Cousteau and Pascal Cousteau."
Xiao Peng shook hands with several people and said, "Nice to meet you. My name is Xiao Peng and I'm from China. Wait, both of you have the last name Cousteau? Is that the Cousteau from Jacques Cousteau?"
Fabien Cousteau nodded with a smile: "We are the Cousteau you know!"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng excitedly shook hands with the two and threw Sine-Sala aside: "I am truly honored to meet the Cousteau family!"
Seeing his enthusiasm, Sine-Sara's smile froze on her face.
France has a total of seven national television stations. Channel 5, while an educational channel, isn't the ratings monster that Channels 1, 2, and 3 are, she's still a pillar of the station and a relatively well-known figure throughout France. And yet, Xiao Peng acts as if he's never even seen her!
In fact, Xiao Peng didn't really know her.
When he first arrived in France, he watched TV series on Channel 1 every day to learn French, and he really didn't watch Channel 5. Later, when he lived on the boat, there was no TV at all. How could he have known Sine Sala?
But he actually knew the last name Cousteau.
The first person to capture the Mediterranean seabed was a young French officer. Using his own underwater breathing apparatus and a black-and-white underwater camera, he captured the underwater landscape, marking the first time anyone had ever presented underwater images to the world. This man, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, later made significant contributions to underwater exploration, serving as an inventor, entrepreneur, and diving pioneer. He also invented the recreational diving equipment we all use today.
In Europe and America, he is a Frenchman with a world-renowned reputation like General Charles de Gaulle! Here, anyone who loves the ocean knows this name! This includes Xiao Peng, of course!
The old man passed away more than 20 years ago, but his spirit lives on. Today, the elite teams shooting documentaries about the ocean are generally composed of members of his team. Judging from their ages, they should be grandchildren of the Cousteau family.
This can be considered a descendant of a famous family!
