As a Fisherman, My Fish Can Level Up
Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Chapter 320 Millionaire Snail_3

Chapter 483: Chapter 320 Millionaire Snail_3 Chapter 483: Chapter 320 Millionaire Snail_3 After a short while, an ugly tiger fish slowly swam out, closely followed by a gaudy sea snake.

Chu Mingcheng broke out in a cold sweat at the sight. Why were all the creatures in this room so deadly poisonous?

Seeing them head in his direction, he quickly grabbed a fishing spear and killed them.

If he were to rush towards the stairs, he might be ambushed when he went out later.

Having dealt with the tiger fish and the sea snake, Chu Mingcheng brought the corpse of the sea snake into a guest room and shut the door, and hung the tiger fish on the live fish clasp to take back with him later.

Despite the tiger fish’s deadly poison and unsightly appearance,

once its skin was peeled off, there was a bundle of delicious meat inside.

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

First, he surveyed the entire master bedroom with his flashlight from the doorway.

The master bedroom was full of small fish, and in the corners, one could even see octopuses.

Fortunately, there were no gaps under the bed, so the sea creatures couldn’t hide. They were all out in the open.

After scanning the room and not finding any more dangerous creatures, Chu Mingcheng felt relieved and swam in.

He didn’t find anything valuable in the master bedroom, but there was a small safe.

He didn’t know the combination, and the lock was also rusted shut. He had to take it back and break the lock with tools.

It was common for wealthy people to use safes, but this was just a small safe on a yacht. It might contain some valuable items, but certainly nothing that would make him rich overnight.

With the exploration over, Chu Mingcheng tied the safe with a safety rope and then swam back to the first deck of the cabin.

Having returned to the liquor cabinet with the safe, he tied up all eleven bottles of wine and then left the shipwreck, taking with him the items he had found.

‘Huh? A pile of feces?’

On his way back, Chu Mingcheng suddenly spotted a huge pile of feces on a sponge.

It looked different from animal feces, but identical to the feces drawn in cartoons.

Upon closer inspection, Chu Mingcheng was overjoyed, even more so than when he found so many things on the sunken ship.

Because right in front of him was a Dragon Palace Wengrong Snail, and it was enormous.

Chu Mingcheng measured with his hand and found that the snail’s diameter was over twenty centimeters. He hadn’t expected that on his way back to the Sea God, he would encounter a million-dollar snail.

A fisherman from Treasure Island once sold a Dragon Palace Wengrong Snail with a diameter of twenty-two centimeters for one million Taiwan Dollars, which is where the term “millionaire snail” came from.

This one was just as big, and with so many years passed, its value might be even higher now. At any rate, it was worth over two hundred thousand RMB.

One snail selling for over two hundred thousand… it just goes to show that the world of the wealthy is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

Chu Mingcheng, who had initially felt the shipwreck’s treasures were meager, was now finally content, very satisfied as he returned to the Sea God.

Eleven bottles of wine and a safe were placed on the deck.

The jewelry and watches he’d casually pulled out from the net were thrown next to the safe. Next to the live well, Chu Mingcheng made a small space to keep the two Dragon Palace Wengrong Snails.

He also threw in a handful of seaweed he had uprooted from the seabed, so the snails wouldn’t go hungry.

The location of the next shipwreck was far from here, in the area of the Public Sea, where a cruise liner from the 1960s had sunk.

The ship was not small; the information he had found indicated that the shipwreck was fifty-eight meters long, classifying it as a medium-sized luxury cruise liner.

The information Chu Mingcheng had found on the shipwreck was not detailed, only mentioning that the cruise ship had capsized due to a storm and that many wealthy people had died at that time.

As for the ordinary crew members who had died, the news did not mention them.

But through the publicity of Hong Kong movies from the eighties and nineties, Chu Mingcheng immediately guessed the purpose of this cruise ship heading to the Public Sea.

Perhaps Gangshou, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru had booked the entire cruise ship, after all, there’s no fear of arrest in international waters.

On such a luxurious cruise ship, there was a lot to explore.

The only trouble was that the ship was overturned by a storm, and he could not use the reef as a landmark to find it, so whether he could locate it or not was still unknown.

Afterward, Chu Mingcheng began to organize his haul from the day, first rinsing off the eleven bottles of wine and jewelry with clean water to remove the seawater.

Then, he took out a foam box and placed the wine, of an unknown brand, inside.

The labels on the bottles were tattered and shrunk into a mess, barely revealing some letters.

The origins of these wines could still be traced, but it would be time-consuming, requiring slow guesses and checks based on the letters.

The value of these underwater aged wines was uncertain.

After placing the wine in the box, Chu Mingcheng used specially purchased sponges to separate and protect them one by one, preventing collisions.

Generally, the bottles of high-value wines are of good quality and are not easy to break even after decades in seawater, but the same could not be said for the lesser wines, so preservation was very important.

As for why Chu Mingcheng did not use wooden boxes and instead continued with foam boxes, it was naturally because foam boxes were less conspicuous.

If he frequently moved wooden boxes from the ship, it would easily raise suspicion, and he might even be suspected of smuggling.

After all, his boat was a fishing vessel and having wooden boxes on board regularly would definitely be suspicious.

Foam boxes and plastic boxes for storing fish would not present this problem.

Once the eleven bottles were dealt with, Chu Mingcheng took out his tools and started working on the safe’s combination lock.

“Bang bang bang bang…”

The sound of hammering echoed far across the sea, but the noise stopped quickly.

Chu Mingcheng held the hammer and chuckled to himself, his strength was indeed a boon; no safe could withstand his blows.

As he opened the door of the safe, a sludge of “mud” flowed out, emitting an unpleasant odor.

Chu Mingcheng pulled a hose from below the ship’s side and directly washed away the “mud.”

This was actually what paper money looked like after dissolving in seawater; he directly cleaned the inside of the safe with clean water.

Then, three items inside the safe were revealed.

A wristwatch, a ring that had lost its luster, and an old black pistol.

“What a pity!” Chu Mingcheng picked up the ring, examined it, and then shook his head in regret.

The ring was supposed to be made of jade, but after soaking in the sea for so long, it had lost its original translucent luster.

Though it still held some value, it was far from what it had been.

Next, he picked up the wristwatch and found that it was actually a Rolex, although he did not know which specific series it belonged to and would have to look it up.

The watch had stopped working, and it was uncertain if it could be repaired.

As for the last item, the toy gun, Chu Mingcheng quite liked it, or it should be said that men were generally more interested in such things.

However, since they were prohibited in the country, Chu Mingcheng just played with it for a bit before throwing it back into the sea along with the safe.
