The fish I catch can be upgraded

Chapter 321 The Millionaire Snail

One afternoon passed, and the harvest of five longlines was actually quite good according to normal conditions.

The total catch is nearly [-] catties, and if sold, it is estimated to be worth [-] to [-].

This number is definitely a big gain for ordinary small retail fishermen.

But to Chu Mingcheng, it's just so-so, as long as there are enough fish nearby, he can hunt them in an hour.

Moreover, the level of the high-quality aquatic product illustration book has reached eighteen, and there is a bonus for longline fishing, and it can only be considered normal to have this harvest in the end.

Fortunately, it has come to the peak season of fish foraging, and he only waited for three hours to collect the longline once.

Harvest once at nine o'clock, and catch 720 six catties.

One harvest at 510 o'clock in the middle of the night, with a catch of [-] a catty.

Including the afternoon and my own fishing and hunting, today's total harvest has reached more than 2000 catties, which has exceeded one-third of the order.

If the harvest is good tomorrow morning, then the task is almost half completed, and he will have more time to explore the sunken ship.

This time, the time set by Chuming City for going out to sea was still seven days, and he returned to sail on the seventh day.

If he could complete the order task earlier, he might still have time to find and explore the third shipwreck.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Mingcheng hurriedly collected the shrimp pots and long ropes before the weather got hot.

The harvest in the morning was not particularly large, and the catch was only more than 600 catties.

The spotted prawns and rich prawns are not bad, adding up to more than 220 catties, it feels like a lot.

The living sea fish and these shrimps are kept in the living water tank. The longlines need to be arranged and spread on the deck to dry. Before drying, the seawater must be rinsed with clean water to prolong the use time of the longlines.

After work, the sun has risen to a high place. If there is no preparation for sun protection, the direct sunlight will burn the skin in an hour or so.

Chu Mingcheng quickly ran into the cabin, first came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, after eating, he went to the pilothouse to start the Poseidon, and went to the first sunken ship first.

This shipwreck is a private yacht with a length of about 15 meters. The owner of the ship is from Baodao.

According to some information found by Chu Mingcheng, the yacht sank in September 1982. The owner of the yacht at that time seemed to have brought some beauties out to sea for a party.

The pilot was bribed by the owner's enemy, deliberately drove the boat into the reef, and ran away in the only lifeboat on the boat before hitting it.

Obviously, it was a murder.

If the driver hadn't been caught later, and the incident had been reported in the newspaper.

Whether there will be valuable things on this small yacht, he is not sure, it depends on luck.

However, the yacht is on a good route, which happens to be on the route he goes to the tuna fishing spot, so he decided to explore the yacht.

It's a pity that there are only rough shipwreck spots on the news, and he still needs to find it slowly by himself.

At the beginning of ten o'clock in the morning, Chu Mingcheng came to the waters of the sunken ship.

There are five reefs shown on the map, which are quite a number, but it is estimated that the range of these reefs is not large.

The only thing I am afraid of is whether the original reef has changed in the past few decades.

Normally, the geological changes of the earth should not be visible in just a few decades, unless there is a special situation such as a strong earthquake.

Chu Mingcheng first found a place to stop the boat, and then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for himself.

It was almost noon, and he didn't want to have to come back to cook after diving, so he ate ahead of time.

After lunch, Chu Mingcheng came to the living room to move his body. After his body got hot, he changed into a diving suit, hung up a live fish buckle and a safety rope, and jumped into the water with a flashlight and headlamp to start looking for the sunken ship.

The first reef was not big, and it only took him half an hour to visit it.

No fossils or other particularly rare marine life were found either, so he sprinted back and steered the Poseidon to the next reef.

After driving to the second hidden reef, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water and quickly arrived at the hidden reef group to start searching.

After a lap, he found that the reefs here were unexpectedly large.

The first reef group just now is small in scale, the edges are all sandy, and the deepest depth is only more than 30 meters.

But here he has swam to more than 50 meters underwater, but the hidden reefs are still out of sight.

With the experience of the first shipwreck, Chu Mingcheng knew that the shipwreck would not stay where it was after hitting the rocks, but would continue sailing for a short distance.

So he searched for the first hidden reef even if it was the nearby sandy land.

The reef group was deeper, and Chu Mingcheng naturally dived all the way down. He didn't see the sand bed at the edge until he was 130 meters underwater.

Originally, after finding this location, he planned to search along the edge, but unexpectedly found a special snail.

Chu Mingcheng grabbed a palm-sized Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo from among several seaweeds.

The shell of this snail is conical. It is amazing that there is a very long crack at the bottom of the snail, which is not seen when he encounters other snails.

Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo, one with a big palm like his is worth several thousand yuan, and the bigger it is, the more expensive it is.

This is an ancient snail that was thought to be extinct, but was finally rediscovered in the 21st century.

He is no less ancient than the Nautilus, and he is also a creature that has lived from ancient times to modern times.

It's just that compared with the nautilus, the number of Longgong Wengrong snails is rarer, and the collection value is also higher.

And the most important point is that this thing has not been included in the protection of animals by the country.

Chu Mingcheng wondered if the person who wrote the protection law didn't know this kind of snail at all, so he missed it.

But it doesn't matter, he picked up the flashlight and illuminated the water area, and found that the food and aquatic plants of Weng Rong Luo in the Dragon Palace were actually quite a lot.

If this thing is a big one, there might be local tyrants willing to pay hundreds of thousands to buy it.

Since the aquatic plants seem to be widely distributed, he immediately changed his goal and started looking for this so-called millionaire snail.

As for the snail in his hand, he put it in the net pocket casually.

Swim at a height of three meters above the water plants below, turn on the headlights, and use the flashlight to look for the rich man's snail.

After swimming for about 100 meters, suddenly, he found a pair of deep eyes staring at himself hidden in the aquatic plants.

Chu Mingcheng trembled and was taken aback.

When the light shines on it, it turns out that it is a skull, and the deep eyes are just its eye sockets.

When Chu Mingcheng came to his senses, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Could this skeleton be the shipwreck? Does that mean the shipwreck is nearby?

This discovery immediately filled Chu Mingcheng with motivation. He accelerated his swimming speed and began to search and sweep the waters.

Just when he passed a large reef and encountered a super huge grouper head-on, he really found the sunken ship.

But this time he encountered a little trouble, a giant grouper with a body length of two meters was chasing and biting him.

The boss of the huge mouth of the abyss seemed to swallow him in one gulp.

Originally, Chu Mingcheng would be very happy to meet such a giant grouper.

But the result was very helpless. In his eyes, the head and internal organs of this giant grouper were all emitting a rich green color, obviously a lot of ciguatera toxin had accumulated.

If you eat a bite of this fish, you will definitely have to go to the hospital to lie down for a few days, or even worse.

Fortunately, the speed of the giant grouper was very slow, so Chu Mingcheng picked up the fish spear as a stick, beat it lightly in circles, and drove it away.

It is said that there are huge objects near the sunken ship, but I didn't expect it to be so.

After chasing away the giant grouper, Chu Mingcheng put away his spear and slowly approached the sunken ship.

This shipwreck may have fallen to the right side because of the reef next to it.

However, it can be seen from the appearance that this is a yacht, and it seems that he has found his goal this time.

Chu Mingcheng observed the outside of the boat first, and after finding nothing, he swam into the cabin.

The door of the cabin was open. It should be that the people in the boat ran out after hitting the rocks.

He estimated that he would not meet a good friend in the ship like the previous shipwreck.

On the first floor of the cabin, there is a large living room, kitchen and driver's cab, and then he found a dozen bottles of wine on the wine cabinet next to the kitchen.

Chu Mingcheng's eyes lit up. Having tasted the sweetness of red wine, he was very interested in these wines.

But it is a pity that these wines have been soaked in seawater for decades, and there is a high probability that they cannot be drunk.

If it is a relatively high-quality wine, it still has the value of collection.

Chu Mingcheng didn't touch the wine right away, but swam to the next floor first.

The 15-meter yacht is not big, with only two floors.The next floor is all bedrooms, with a total of five rooms.

Originally, Chu Mingcheng wanted to go directly to the master bedroom, but he felt that the rest of the rooms should not be worth exploring.

But he suddenly remembered that the owner of the ship had brought some girls over at that time, and the girls who could come out with the rich man were at least high-value beauties, and they would most likely wear some jewelry when they went out.

After going out to sea and changing into a bikini, the jewelry will be taken off, so as not to drop it when playing in the water, which means that there may be some jewelry in the guest room. .

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat. Chu Mingcheng thought of this and started to search from the guest room.

After decades of soaking, the locks of these doors were already broken. He kicked the door directly, and immediately kicked the door open.

Unsurprisingly, there were no skeletons in the room, and it was very messy.

Chu Mingcheng looked around, but there were no clothes or shoes, maybe this room was unoccupied.

After searching in the cabinet, sure enough, there was nothing.

Then he came to the door of the second room and kicked open the door as well.

In this room, I saw something that seemed to be a skirt on the floor, and a small bag in the corner, obviously someone lived there.

Then he found a pair of earrings, a necklace, a lady's watch and some cosmetics in the lady's bag.

There are still some women's clothes and shoes in the closet, but they have already been soaked in sea water.

Putting away the earrings, necklace, and ladies' watch in the net pocket, he left for the next room.

The next two guest rooms were occupied, and Chu Mingcheng found two ladies' watches, three necklaces and two gold rings.

The harvest is not bad, so he is more looking forward to the things in the master bedroom.

The door of the master bedroom was also kicked open. After kicking open, there was a small toilet next to it, and there was another door blocking it.

But the door was not locked, so he could just push it open.

Pushing open the door, Chu Mingcheng did not rush in.

On the bottom floor, he observed from the outside of the ship just now. Only the master bedroom has two windows, and all the windows are broken. Maybe some marine life ran into the bedroom through the window.

Therefore, after the door was opened, he retreated instead of advancing. If there were any dangerous and poisonous creatures inside, it was very likely that they would come out as the door opened.

After a while, an ugly tiger fish slowly swam out, followed by a gaudy sea snake.

Chu Mingcheng was in a cold sweat looking at it, why is this room full of highly poisonous creatures.

Seeing them swimming in his direction, he quickly picked up his spear and stabbed them to death.

If he rushed to the top of the stairs, he might be attacked when he went down.

After finishing the tiger fish and sea snake, Chu Mingcheng took the sea snake's body into a guest room and closed the door. The tiger fish was hung on the live fish buckle and will be brought back.

Although the tiger fish is highly poisonous, it is also ugly.

As long as its fish skin is peeled off, there is a mass of delicious meat inside.

After hanging the tiger fish, Chu Mingcheng slowly approached the master bedroom.

He was at the door first, and looked at the entire master bedroom with a flashlight.

The master bedroom is full of small fish, and octopus can be seen in the corners.

Fortunately, there is no gap under the bed, these sea creatures have no way to hide, they are all on the bright side.

Chu Mingcheng scanned around and found no more dangerous creatures, so he swam in with confidence.

Nothing of value was found in the master bedroom, but there was a small safe.

He didn't know the combination, and the lock had rusted to death. He had to bring it back and use a tool to break the lock open.

It is very common for rich people to use safes, but this is just a small safe in a yacht. There may be something valuable, but there is definitely nothing that will make him rich overnight.

After the exploration was over, Chu Mingcheng tied the safe with a safety rope, and then swam to the cabin on the first floor.

He returned to the wine cabinet with the safe, tied up all eleven bottles of wine inside, and then he left the shipwreck and returned with what he found.

'Huh?A pile of defense? '

On his way back, Chu Mingcheng suddenly found a huge lump of defense on a piece of sponge.

The shape is different from the animal's defense, but it is exactly the same as the defense drawn in the animation.

Swimming over to see it, Chu Mingcheng was overjoyed immediately, even happier than finding so many items brought back by the sunken ship.

Because in front of him is a Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo, and it is very huge.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand and gestured, and found that the diameter of the snail reached more than 20 centimeters. He did not expect that when he returned to the Poseidon, he encountered a million snails.

In the past, a fisherman in Baodao sold a 100-cm-diameter Dragon Palace Weng Rong Conch for NT$22 million. This is the origin of the millionaire conch.

His is also huge. After so many years, the value may be higher than before. Anyway, more than 20 RMB cannot be escaped.

A snail sells for more than 20 yuan. It can only be said that ordinary people in the world of the rich do not understand.

Chu Mingcheng, who originally thought that the shipwreck had yielded little, was finally happy now, and returned to the Poseidon very satisfied.

Eleven bottles of wine, and a safe on deck.

The jewelry and watches taken out of the net pocket were casually still next to the safe, and Chu Mingcheng separated a small space next to the living water tank, and put the two Dragon Palace Weng Rong snails in it to raise them.

By the way, I threw a handful of aquatic plants that I just pulled out at the bottom of the water, so that the two snails would not be hungry.

The location of the next shipwreck is far away from here, in the high seas, a 60s cruise ship sank.

The ship was not small, and the information found showed that the sunken ship reached 58 meters, which was considered a medium-sized luxury cruise ship.

The information Chu Mingcheng found did not contain detailed information, but only said that the cruise ship was blown over by a storm, and many rich people died at that time.

As for the dead ordinary waiter and so on, it was not mentioned in the news.

But through Xuan Tao from the 90s Hong Kong Island movie, Chu Mingcheng immediately guessed the purpose of the cruise ship going to the high seas.

Maybe the cruise ship Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru are all occupied, after all, they are not afraid of being caught on the high seas.

There is so much to explore on such a luxurious cruise ship.

The only trouble is that the cruise ship was blown over by a storm, and he couldn't find it through the marker of the reef, so it's still unknown whether he can find it.

Afterwards, Chu Mingcheng began to sort out his harvest for the day. First, he rinsed the eleven bottles of wine and jewelry with clean water to clean up the sea water.

Then he took a foam box and put these unknown brands of wine in it.

The paper on the bottle was tattered and shrunk into a pile, and only some letters could be barely seen.

The origin of these wines can still be found out, but it is time-consuming, and you have to guess and check slowly based on the letters above.

I don't know the value of these submarine aging wines.

After Chu Mingcheng put the wine into the box, he used specially bought sponges to separate and protect them one by one to avoid collisions.

Generally, the quality of high-value wine bottles is very good, even after being soaked in seawater for decades, it is not easy to break, but it is difficult to say that the wine is slightly worse, so preservation is very important.

As for why Chu Mingcheng didn't use wooden boxes, but continued to use foam boxes, it was naturally because the foam boxes were not conspicuous.

When moving from the ship, if you often move wooden boxes, it will naturally arouse suspicion from others, and you may even be suspected of smuggling.

After all, his boat is a fishing boat, and there must be something wrong with wooden boxes appearing frequently.

Foam boxes and plastic boxes for fish will not have this problem.

Eleven bottles of wine were processed, and finally Chu Mingcheng brought tools and started to solve the combination lock on the safe.

"Bang bang bang bang."

The sound of hammers smashing things was carried far away in the sea, but the sound stopped soon.

Chu Mingcheng smiled while holding the hammer, it is really good to be strong, no matter how tight the safe is, it cannot withstand his smashing.

When the door of the safe was opened, a stream of "sludge" flowed out, exuding an unpleasant smell.

Chu Mingcheng pulled out the water pipe from under the ship's side, and directly washed away the "sludge".

These are actually the appearance of the banknotes after being dissolved by seawater. He directly washed the inside of the safe with clean water.

Then, three things in the safe were revealed.

A watch, a tarnished finger-wrench, and an old-fashioned black pistol.

"What a pity!" Chu Mingcheng picked up the wrench and looked at it, then shook his head regretfully.

This finger should be made of emerald, but it has lost its original translucent luster after being soaked in sea water for too long.

Although there is still some value, compared with the original, it is definitely a sky and a ground.

Then he picked up the watch and looked at it, and found that it was a Rolex. As for the specific series, he didn't know which series it was, so he had to check it out.

This watch has stopped beating, but I don't know if it can be repaired.

To be honest, Chu Mingcheng really likes the last toy. It should be said that men are more interested in these things.

However, it was forbidden in the country, Chu Mingcheng just played with it, and then threw it and the safe back into the sea.
