Chapter 320: Millionaire Snail

After an afternoon, the harvest of the five longlines would be pretty good as normal.

The total catch is nearly 500 catties, and it is estimated that it can be sold for 40,000 or 50,000.

This figure is definitely a big catch for ordinary small retail fishermen.

But for Chu Mingcheng, it was just average, as long as there were enough fish nearby, he could hunt in an hour.

And the level of the high-quality aquatic illustrated book has come to eighteen, longline fishing has a bonus, and in the end, this harvest can only be regarded as normal.

Fortunately, it was now the peak season for the fish to feed, and he only waited three hours to collect the longline.

Harvest once at nine o'clock, catch 726 catties.

Harvested once at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the catch was 511 catties.

Coupled with the afternoon and their own fishing and hunting, today's total harvest came to more than 2,000 catties, which has exceeded one-third of the order.

If the harvest is good tomorrow morning, the mission will be almost half completed, and he will have more time to explore the shipwreck.

The time set for Chu Mingcheng to go to sea this time is still seven days, and he will return on the seventh day.

If he had completed the order earlier, he might have had time to find and explore the third shipwreck.

In the early morning of the next day, Chu Mingcheng took advantage of the fact that the sky was not yet hot, so he hurriedly collected the shrimp pot and longline.

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

The giant shrimp and the rich shrimp are not bad, adding up to more than two hundred and twenty catties, and I feel that there are more of them.

The live marine fish and these shrimps are put into the living water tank, and the longline needs to be arranged and laid on the deck to dry, and the seawater must be rinsed with clean water before drying to extend the use of the longline.

When the sun is over, the sun has risen to a high place, and if you don't have sun protection, it is estimated that it will burn your skin in an hour.

Chu Mingcheng hurriedly ran into the cabin, first came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, and after eating, he came to the wheelhouse to start the Poseidon and went to the location of the first shipwreck.

This wreck is a private yacht about 15 meters long, and the owner of the ship is from Treasure Island.

According to some information found by Chu Mingcheng, the yacht sank in September 1982, and the owner of the yacht at that time seems to have taken several beautiful women to the sea for a party.

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

Clearly, this was a murder.

If it weren't for the fact that the driver was caught later and the incident would have been reported.

As for whether there will be anything valuable on this small yacht, he is not sure, it depends on luck.

However, the yacht was on a good route, which happened to be the route he took to the tuna fishing spot, so he decided to explore the yacht.

It's a pity that there is only a rough wreck point on the news, and he needs to find it slowly by himself.

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

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

The only thing I'm afraid of is whether the original reef has changed decades.

Normally, the earth's geological changes in the past few decades should not be noticed, except in the special case of a strong earthquake.

….

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

It was almost noon, and he didn't want to wait until he could dive and have to come back to cook, so he simply ate early.

After lunch, Chu Mingcheng came to the living room to move his body, and after his body was warm, he changed into a diving suit, hung a live fish buckle and safety rope, and jumped into the water with a flashlight and a headlamp to start looking for the wreck.

The first reef was small, and it only took him half an hour to get there.

No fossils or other particularly rare sea creatures were found, so he quickly returned and piloted the Poseidon to the next reef.

After driving to the second reef, Chu Mingcheng jumped into the water and came to the side of the reef group at a very fast speed

Begin.

After a lap, he found that the reef group was unexpectedly large.

The first reef group was small in scale, and the edge was all sandy, and the deepest depth was more than 30 meters.

And here he swam more than fifty meters underwater, but the reefs still couldn't see the end.

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 to sail for a short distance.

So the first reef, even the nearby sand, he searched for it.

This reef group was even deeper, and Chu Mingcheng naturally dived all the way, and it wasn't until one hundred and thirty-seven meters underwater that he saw the sand bed at the edge.

Originally, he was going to follow the edge line after finding this location, but he accidentally found a special snail.

Chu Mingcheng grabbed a palm-sized Dragon Palace Weng Rong snail from among a few seaweeds.

The shell of this snail is conical, and it is amazing that there is a long crack at the mouth of the bottom of the screw, which he does not usually have when encountering other snails.

Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo, a palm like him is worth thousands of yuan, and the bigger it is, the more expensive it is.

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

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

It's just that compared to nautilus, the number of dragon palace Weng Rong snails is more rare, and the value of the collection is also higher.

And the most important thing is that this thing is not included in the national protection of animals.

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

But it didn't matter, he picked up a flashlight and irradiated this water, and found that there were a lot of aquatic plants for the food of the Dragon Palace Weng Rongluo.

If this thing is big, maybe there are local tyrants who are willing to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy it.

Since this piece of aquatic grass seemed to be widely distributed, he immediately changed his goal and first looked for this millionaire snail.

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

Swimming at a height of three meters from the aquatic plants below, the headlamp is also turned on, and the flashlight is used to find the rich snail.

After swimming for about a hundred meters, he suddenly found a pair of deep eyes hiding in the aquatic grass and staring at him.

Chu Mingcheng shuddered and was taken aback.

When the light shone through, it turned out to be a skull, and its deep eyes were only its sockets.

Chu Mingcheng, who reacted, suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face.

….

Could this skeleton be the shipwrecked person in the first place, does that mean that the shipwreck is nearby?

This discovery immediately made Chu Mingcheng full of energy, and he sped up his swimming speed and began to sweep through this water.

Just as he passed by a large reef, he encountered a huge grouper head-on, and he actually found the wreck.

However, he ran into a little trouble, as a giant grouper with a body length of two meters was chasing and biting him.

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

Originally, Chu Mingcheng would definitely be very happy to encounter such a large giant grouper.

But the result was very helpless, in his eyes, the head and internal organs of this giant grouper all exuded a rich green color, and it was obvious that ciguatera toxins had accumulated a lot.

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

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

It is said that there is a huge object near the wreck, but I didn't expect it to be true.

After driving away the giant grouper, Chu Mingcheng put away the fish spear and slowly leaned towards the sunken ship.

The wreck, perhaps due to the nearby reef, fell entirely to the right.

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 first observed outside the ship, and after finding nothing, he swam into the cabin.

The door to the cabin was open, and everyone in the boat had escaped after hitting the rocks.

He didn't think he would meet a good friend in the ship like the previous shipwreck.

On the first floor of the cabin was a large living room, galley, and wheelhouse, and he found more than a dozen bottles of wine on the wine cabinet next to the galley.

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

Unfortunately, these wines have been soaked in seawater for decades, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to drink it.

If it is a relatively high-quality wine, it is still worth collecting.

Chu Mingcheng didn't touch the wine immediately, but swam to the next layer first.

The fifteen-meter yacht is not large, with only a two-story structure. The next floor is full of bedrooms, and there are five rooms in total.

Originally, Chu Mingcheng was going to go directly to the master bedroom, but he felt that the rest of the rooms should have no value to explore.

But he suddenly thought that the owner of the boat had brought some sister papers over at that time, and the sister papers that could come out with the rich were at least high-value beauties, and there was a high probability that they would wear some jewelry when they went out.

And after going to sea to change into a bikini, the jewelry will be taken off so that it will not fall off 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, and after thinking of this, Chu Mingcheng started from the guest room.

After decades of soaking, the locks of these doors have long been broken, and he kicked directly at the door, and immediately kicked the door open.

There are no skeletons in the room, and it's very messy.

Chu Mingcheng looked around, there were no clothes and shoes, maybe no one lived in this room.

After the cupboard, sure enough, there was nothing.

Then he came to the door of the second room and kicked it open with the same kick.

….

In this room, I saw something on the floor that appeared to be a skirt, and a small bag in the corner, apparently occupied.

He then found a pair of earrings, a necklace and a women's watch, as well as some cosmetics in the woman's bag.

There were still some women's clothes and shoes in the closet, but they had already been soaked by the seawater.

Putting away the studs, necklaces, and women's watches and putting them in his net pocket, he left for the next room.

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

The harvest was not bad, so he was looking forward to what was in the master bedroom even more.

The door to the master bedroom was also kicked open, and after kicking open, there was a small toilet next to it, and then there was a door in front of it.

However, the door was unlocked, and he could just push it open.

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

On the lower floor, he had just observed from the outside of the boat, there were only two windows in the master bedroom, and all of them were broken, and maybe some sea creatures had escaped into the bedroom through the windows.

Therefore, after the door is pushed open, he does not advance but retreats, and if there is any dangerous and poisonous creature inside, it is very likely to run out as the door opens.

After a while, an ugly-looking tiger fish slowly swam out, followed by a bells and whistles sea snake.

Chu Mingcheng looked in a cold sweat, why was this room full of highly poisonous creatures.

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

If you rush to the top of the stairs, you might be attacked when you get out.

After getting rid of the tiger fish and the sea snake, Chu Mingcheng got the body of the sea snake into a guest room and closed the door, and the tiger fish hung on the live fish buckle and would take it back.

Tiger fish don't look highly poisonous, and ugly.

As long as the skin of the fish is peeled off, it is a delicious lump of meat.

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

He first looked at the master bedroom with a flashlight at the door.

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

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

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

I didn't find anything of value in the master bedroom, but there was a small safe.

The code was unknown, and the lock was rusty, so he had to bring it back and smash it open with a tool.

It's common for rich people to use safes, but it's just a small safe inside a yacht, and it may be something of value, but there is definitely nothing that will make him rich overnight.

At the end of the exploration, Chu Mingcheng tied the safe with a safety rope and swam to the cabin on the first floor.

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

'Huh? A lump of defense? ,

Just as he was on his way back, Chu Mingcheng suddenly found a huge lump of defense on a 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 take a look, Chu Mingcheng was immediately overjoyed, even happier than finding the sunken ship and bringing back so many items.

….

Because in front of him is a dragon palace Weng Rong snail, and it is very huge.

Chu Mingcheng stretched out his hand and gestured, and found that the diameter of this snail had reached more than twenty centimeters, but he didn't expect that when he returned to the Poseidon, he actually encountered a million snails.

In the past, a fisherman on Baodao sold a 22-centimeter-diameter Longgong Weng Rong snail for 1 million Taiwan dollars, which is the origin of the millionaire snail.

He is also huge, after so many years, the value may be higher than at the beginning, anyway, more than 200,000 RMB can't run.

A snail sells for more than 200,000 yuan, which can only be said that ordinary people in the world of rich people do not understand.

Chu Mingcheng, who originally thought that there was little harvest from the shipwreck, was finally happy now, and returned to the Poseidon with great satisfaction.

Eleven bottles of wine, and a safe on the deck.

The jewelry and watches taken out of the net pocket were still next to the safe at random, 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.

By the way, he threw a handful of aquatic weeds that he had just pulled under the water, so that the two snails would not be hungry.

The next wreck is far from here, on the high seas, and is the sinking of a cruise ship from the sixties.

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

The information found by Chu Mingcheng did not have detailed information, but it was said that the cruise ship was blown over in 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 of Hong Kong Island movies in the eighties and nineties, Chu Mingcheng immediately guessed the purpose of this 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's so much to explore on such a luxurious cruise ship.

The only trouble was that the cruise ship had been blown over by a storm, and he couldn't find it through the reef marker, so it was unknown if he could find it.

Then Chu Mingcheng began to sort out his harvest today, first rinsing eleven bottles of wine and jewelry with clean water, and rinsing the sea water.

Then he took a foam box and put the unknown brand of wine in it.

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

The origin of these wines can still be found, but it is more time-consuming, and it is necessary to guess slowly according to the letters on it.

These undersea aged wines do not know how much they are worth.

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

Generally, the bottles of high-value wines are of good quality, even in seawater

It is not easy to break after being soaked for decades, but it is difficult to say that the sake is slightly worse, so it is very important to preserve it.

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

When moving wooden boxes from a ship, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of others, and may even be suspected of smuggling.

After all, his boat is a fishing boat, and there must be something wrong with the frequent appearance of wooden crates.

Foam boxes and plastic boxes for fish don't have this problem.

….

Eleven bottles of wine were disposed of, and finally Chu Mingcheng took the tools and began to solve the combination lock on the safe.

"Bang bang bang..."

The sound of hammers smashing things spread far and wide in the sea, but the sound soon stopped.

Chu Mingcheng took the hammer and smiled, his strength was really good, no matter how tight the safe was, he couldn't stand it from smashing.

When the door of the safe was opened, a stream of "sludge" flowed out, emitting a foul smell.

Chu Mingcheng pulled out the water pipe from under the side of the boat and directly washed away the "sludge".

These are actually the banknotes after they have been dissolved by the sea, and he directly rinses the inside of the safe with clean water.

Then, three items inside the safe were revealed.

A watch, a tarnished wrench, and a jet-black vintage pistol.

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

This wrench should be made of jadeite, but soaking in the sea water for too long has made it lose its original luster.

Although there is still some value, it is definitely one day and one earth compared to the original.

Then he picked up his watch and looked at it, and found that it turned out to be a Rolex, as for the specific series he didn't know, and had to look it up.

The watch doesn't beat anymore, I just don't know if it can be repaired.

The last toy, to be honest, Chu Mingcheng likes it a lot, and it should be said that men are more interested in these things.

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

Hidden
