Starting to go to the sea: I really didn’t want to be a sea king

"Uncle Jun, I'll go with you guys later."

On the deck of Minquanyu 01688, Chu Yang said to Sun Qingjun.

"Ah, isn't your hand still healed? How about I go with Lao Zhang and collect a few traps, no problem."

Sun Qingjun thought Chu Yang was afraid that he would delay things by picking up snails again, so he promised.

Chu Yang smiled and said, "It's not that. The main thing is that I feel there may be goods there."

That's right, the silver treasure chest that just refreshed is located on the small island that Sun Qingjun visited last night.

"Didn't you pick up a lot of sun snails last night? I feel there will be better ones today."

Sun Qingjun thought for a while, "Why don't we just move the boat over there? It's still a bit far if we paddle."

A fishing boat of more than ten meters needs at least ten liters of oil to move. If it were him, he would be reluctant to do so. It would only take twenty or thirty minutes to paddle.

But if Chu Yang wanted to go, it would be different.

With his luck, maybe this small kayak won't be able to hold so many fish.

"Okay."

Chu Yang nodded, unwilling to paddle. Although his arm is much better today, it still feels a little sore when he clenches his fist.

After raising the anchor, the fishing boat dragged the white tail waves, deviated from the main channel, and rushed towards the island.

Ten minutes later, the fishing boat arrived at the island.

It's called an island, but it's actually a long and narrow reef group. The part exposed above the water in the middle is only a few dozen square meters, not even as big as Chu Yang's yard.

The three parked the boat a hundred meters away from the reef area, then changed to a small boat and paddled slowly.

After landing on the island, I found that although this reef island is only a little above the water, it is still quite large under the water.

If the water depth of one meter is included, it is estimated that it will be as big as a basketball court.

"Yesterday's sun snail was picked up from this piece."

Sun Qingjun pointed to the largest cluster of bamboo shoot-shaped reefs in the middle.

Chu Yang nodded, then walked forward a few steps.

After pretending to search for a while, he touched the treasure chest refresh point.

"Open!"

[Silver treasure chest has been opened, reward: randomly refreshed ocean treasure (rare)*15, search time limit: 20 minutes. 】

A new category has been opened, ocean treasure, and it is still 'rare'!

Looking at the light band in front of him, Chu Yang was shocked and hurried to search.

The search time limit is 20 minutes, and not a second can be wasted.

The reef island is bare, except for a small amount of shellfish shells deposited between the cracks in the rocks, and a little seaweed attached to the stone wall.

Soon, Chu Yang found something strange between a cluster of seaweed.

Under the illumination of the headlight, this cluster of seaweed swayed with the waves, and there were actually some white spots reflected.

Chu Yang pushed the black seaweed aside, reached in and tapped it gently.

With a sound of "Guji".

A heavy object in the shape of a horseshoe was lifted up by him.

Chu Yang took off his T-shirt and wiped off the mottled moss covering the surface, and the mysterious "horse hoof" revealed its true appearance.

"Fuck, Yang, is this... a silver ingot?"

Sun Qingjun exclaimed when he saw what Chu Yang was holding.

That's right, what Chu Yang found out of the seaweed was a silver ingot, which was heavy and slightly larger than his palm.

Turning over the silver ingot, you can vaguely see the Chinese characters "Salt Administration Silver" engraved on its bottom, and the words "Fifty" engraved in capital letters on the side.

Based on this, Chu Yang judged that this silver ingot was a 50-liang silver ingot from an ancient dynasty in my country.

"Is this an antique?"

Sun Qingjun ran to Chu Yang and stared at it.

Chu Yang simply threw the silver ingot to him.

"Uncle Jun, keep it first. I'll look for more."

There are 15 silver ingots refreshed by the system. They can't be wasted.

The reef island is so small and there are no obstacles. Chu Yang quickly took out the second silver ingot from under another seaweed. The style is the same as before, fifty taels of salt silver.

Then the third, the fourth...

Twenty minutes later, fifteen fifty taels of silver ingots of the same size and style were all put into the net bag.

"Sai Linmu, I'm rich, I'm really rich this time."

Sun Qingjun held the net bag, his mouth dry, and kept muttering.

Chu Yang was not very excited.

Although this silver ingot with an inscription is also an antique, it cannot be traded according to the law, so it will be calculated according to the value of the silver ingot itself.

In ancient my country, the 16-liang system was used. From the Tang Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, one jin was about 600 grams. A 50-liang silver ingot was about 1,900 grams, less than four jin.

According to the current silver price, each gram is about 3 yuan, so a silver ingot is worth about 5,700 yuan.

"Ah, just over 5,000?"

Sun Qingjun heardChu Yang was dumbfounded after he calculated this.

"Three silver ingots are not worth a net of eagle pomfret..."

Silver ingots, antiques, don't they always report on TV that one silver ingot is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan?

"Uncle Jun, it has to be a legal antique from a regular channel, and it also depends on the quality. The silver ingots we picked up have been corroded by sea water for so long. You can barely see the words on them because of the potholes."

"Okay!"

He sighed in disappointment.

"It's a waste of joy."

Chu Yang smiled and said, "That's not the case. I think two of the ingots are still quite clear. The quality should be good. Let's see if we can find a way to sell them."

"The other 13 silver ingots can be melted and sold for at least 70,000 yuan."

"Totaling them together, this trip will definitely earn 100,000 yuan."

"Yes, 100,000 yuan is not a small amount."

Sun Qingjun touched his head and laughed.

"I'm too greedy."

In fact, this is a question of expectation. It's like when you go to find a job, the salary is 10,000 yuan a month as stated in the job posting, but when you get there, you find that it's only 5,000 yuan. Of course, you're not satisfied.

If the job posting says 3,000 yuan, and you go and interview and get 5,000 yuan, wouldn't that be a surprise?

In Sun Qingjun's opinion, these silver ingots are worth tens of millions of yuan. It's inevitable that he will feel disappointed for a while after seeing the difference.

Even Chu Yang himself feels a little dissatisfied.

"It would be great if it was replaced with gold ingots."

But if it was replaced with gold ingots, it would probably be more than just a silver treasure chest.

Chu Yang couldn't help but look forward to it. When will he be able to open a higher-level treasure chest?

The two searched the reef island again. In fact, it was mainly Sun Qingjun who was looking, and Chu Yang was just slacking off.

He had already figured out Tongzi's temper. If he said he would refresh 15, you would definitely not find the 16th one.

However, the silver ingot was not found, but a scallop was found.

It was the kind of sun and moon scallop, which is called round scallop in Quancheng.

This scallop has a diameter of about 10 cm, the size of an adult's palm.

It has two symmetrical shells, one of which is often lying on the seabed, with a white color, similar to a full moon, and the other is exposed to the sun, with a reddish color, similar to the sun, so it is also called the sun and moon scallop.

This scallop is not only beautiful, but also tastes quite good. The fresh sun and moon scallop meat is chewy and sweet, whether it is blanched or garlic vermicelli, it is the best.

"This thing is good, I have to try it at noon!"

Chu Yang suddenly felt a little hungry again.
