After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

05:30 in the afternoon.

Although Su Mo's yacht had successfully anchored on the leeward cliff of Chiwei Island, everyone did not relax their vigilance.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the waves were rolling on the sea, the wind was howling, and the rain was pouring. It was as if there was a terrifying beast in the ocean that was angry and wanted to swallow up the entire world.

In order to survive the storm safely, the crew members were doing final inspections on the deck in the wind and rain to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Su Mo was standing in the cockpit at this time, holding a telescope and looking at the salvage ship that was anchoring not far away.

I saw the two big characters "Xinglong" printed on the hull of the salvage ship, but they were indeed traditional Chinese characters.

This place is very close to Baodao, and Su Mo immediately judged that it was a salvage ship from Baodao Province.

Moving his eyes upward, he saw a group of thin men on the deck covering something with oilcloth, while a few white men were gesticulating on the side, apparently the people in charge of the ship.

"How come it's a Vietnamese monkey, and the person in charge is a white man."

Those who worked were generally dark-skinned and short in stature. Su Mo recognized them as a group of Vietnamese at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo saw several crew members dragging a big fish hard and then covering it with oilcloth.

It turned out to be a great white shark nearly ten meters long!

There was a horrific wound on its belly, and scarlet blood was gurgling out. It looked like it had been dead not long ago.

What does a salvage boat do to kill a great white shark?

Su Mo couldn't help but frown.

It was obviously a ship from Baodao Province, but the crew was basically Vietnamese, and the key people in charge were a few white people.

This made Su Mo immediately suspicious.

"It seems like this ship is a little complicated."

Su Mo thought to himself, then put down the telescope and said to Jiang Qiang beside him: "Arrange two people to take turns keeping watch at night. Be careful."

He didn't want to cause trouble, but he had to be wary of others. It was better to be careful near this uninhabited island.

After hearing Su Mo's instructions, Jiang Qiang agreed, and then arranged the manpower.

Su Mo returned to his room, lay on the bed, closed his eyes and prepared to sleep.

Although he didn't think about the salvage ship, strange thoughts related to it kept appearing in his mind.

This kept him from sleeping at all.

After a long time, Su Mo frowned and opened his eyes, stood up, took out a cigarette and started smoking.

In the quiet room, the only sound left in the air was the "sizzling" sound of burning tobacco.

Judging from the equipment on the salvage ship, they should be here to salvage sunken ships on the seabed.

The reason why we chose Baodao's boat was to hide it from others, and to hire Vietnamese monkeys, of course because it was cheap, and the bosses should be white people.

Those must be those treasure hunters in the West!

According to statistics, there are at least millions of ancient shipwrecks sleeping in the world's oceans, waiting for people to explore and find them.

What is the most valuable thing on a sunken ship on the seabed?

Is it the real money that Western countries plundered from all over the world during the Age of Discovery?

Or rhino horn from African ivory?

No, although these things are also valuable, they pale in comparison to the porcelain and curios shipped out of ancient China through the Maritime Silk Road.

You must know that from ancient times to the present, porcelain from China has always been the darling of collectors around the world.

With the rapid development of science and technology, the level of offshore salvage has improved rapidly.

Over the years, the Chinese shipwrecks sleeping on the ancient waterways have been like a huge magnet, firmly attracting the attention of Western treasure hunters.

Because as long as you succeed once, the rewards will be terrifyingly high.

So they kept sending out salvage ships, traveling thousands of miles to the east, hoping to fish out some ancient treasures.

The Southeast Asian countries on the ancient Silk Road were unable to salvage sunken ships on their own due to limited technology, so they gave the green light to these Western adventurers.

In the name of scientific investigation, they issued passes to these treasure hunters in an attempt to carve up the treasures on the seabed together.

Chiwei Island was the only way for the ancient Central Plains Dynasty to go to the Ryukyu Islands. At that time, countless silks, porcelain, tea and other goods were resold abroad from here.

But with the navigation technology at the time, those wooden ships were likely to sink to the bottom of the sea in the event of a storm.

Those treasure hunters must have discovered an ancient shipwreck nearby and wanted to sneak over to salvage it. However, they happened to encounter a storm, so they came here to take shelter.

As for why they hunted great white sharks, Su Mo thought it might be because there were great white sharks near the sunken ship. They killed them for the safety of the diving operators.

After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Su Mo had no intention of getting involved and getting a share of the pie.

The purpose of his trip was to catch horseshoe crabs, so there was no need to add extraneous details.

Thinking of this, Su Mo put out his cigarette, lay back on the bed, and gradually fell asleep.

......

The storm lasted all day before gradually weakening.

At noon the next day, the sky began to clear up, so Su Mo ordered to restart the ship and continue on the planned route. However, the salvage ship braved the wind and left early in the morning, seeming to be very anxious.

But this has nothing to do with Su Mo. He feels that he will never have anything to do with this ship again.

But things backfired.

Not long after leaving Chiwei Island, Su Mo's universal fish detector rang.

"Yellow-lip fish was found ten nautical miles southeast, number 8."

When Su Mo heard that there was a yellow-lipped fish, he immediately became energetic.

This kind of fish is a very rare species. Not only is its meat valuable, but its swim bladder and belly are also a great tonic, almost comparable to Korean ginseng.

Nowadays, a pound of yellow lip fish can be sold for thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan on the market!

So Su Mo immediately asked Jiang Qiang to change the course and sail towards the yellow-lipped fish.

But these yellow-lipped fish didn't know if they were aware of the danger, but they were also moving forward rapidly.

Even though the yacht is very fast, according to the news from the fish detector, they have always maintained a distance of 8 or 9 nautical miles from the yacht.

This made Su Mo anxious, but he was helpless.

After chasing like this for more than an hour, Su Mo's yacht came to a sea area, and the group of yellow-lipped fish seemed to be tired from swimming and finally stopped.

Just when Su Mo was about to cooperate with Goudan, Jiang Qiang suddenly spoke.

"Captain, look!"

Hearing this, Su Mo looked up and saw on the sea in the distance, the salvage ship they encountered yesterday was parked there, as if it was working.

At this time, next to the salvage ship, there were several fishing boats pretentiously lowering their nets, as if they were providing cover for the salvage ship.

"Hurry up and get to work, catch these yellow lip fish and let's go!"

In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Su Mo immediately issued orders to the crew.

But those treasure hunters didn't think like him. When they saw a yacht approaching, a fishing boat immediately headed this way.
