Chapter 11 Brother Fish, Could You Do Me a Favor?

Pete's entire body was enveloped by water pressure, and he was constantly squeezed as the depth decreased, causing him some discomfort in his chest.

"We can't descend any further!"

He suddenly thought of his wife and eldest daughter at home, as well as the second child in his wife's belly. What would happen to his family if he had an accident underwater?

Besides, he wasn't a professional diver to begin with.

With that thought in mind, Pete quickly moved his feet to stabilize himself on the bottom of the water, and then tugged at the rope behind him.

A moment later, the rope was pulled, and Pete slowly rose to the surface.

He took off his hood, leaned against the edge of the boat, and gasped for breath. At the same time, he apologized to Shen Fei, "Sorry, boss, I couldn't dive to the bottom. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

Shen Fei had been following Pete's actions with his consciousness the entire time, and already knew the outcome.

"It's alright, you weren't a professional diver to begin with, it's not your fault. Take off your wetsuit and let me try it on."

Pete was immediately alarmed. "Boss, even with a wetsuit, amateur divers can only reach a depth of 15 meters. To dive to a depth of 20 meters, you need to be a professional diver..."

The rest of the sentence was left unsaid, but the subtext was clear: I'm known as a jack-of-all-trades, but I'm not good enough. How can you, a newbie, be any better?

"I'll try first. If it doesn't work, I'll pull the rope behind me, and then you can hoist me up."

Shen Fei has made up his mind.

He is now penniless, his fish farm is in dire need of rebuilding, and the $10 check Smith gave him will only last for about 10 days. Without the two boxes of treasure at the bottom of the lake, he will be unable to make any progress.

The meat is right in front of him, but the box is underwater, only about 20 meters away. How can he put it down?

Meat that's in your mouth is meat; you can't wait any longer for something to go wrong.

What greatly boosted Shen Fei's confidence was that after his body merged with the Heart of the Ocean, he could clearly feel that his physique had improved, and both his underwater breath-holding ability and swimming skills had increased significantly.

He also gained the ability to sense underwater currents and the emotions of aquatic creatures. Coupled with his super-powerful "lighthouse" consciousness, he would rise up immediately at the slightest disturbance below.

The whole operation seemed risky, but in fact it was all under his control.

Shen Fei's only uncertainty is that the diving suit is relatively soft and, apart from keeping him warm, does not have the ability to withstand water pressure. He wonders if his body can withstand the pressure after descending to a depth of 20 meters.

It's worth a try.

"Boss, how about I try going into the water again?"

As Pete took off his wetsuit, he felt guilty.

He felt that his performance underwater was too cowardly. If he displeased his new boss and made him think that there was a problem with his work ability and attitude, he might lose his monthly after-tax salary of 12,000 yuan.

It won't be easy to find such a high-paying job in St. John's in a short period of time.

"It's alright. As the owner of Dasheng Fish Farm, I'll have to get familiar with underwater operations sooner or later. You keep an eye on things for me from the surface. If you see the rope shaking violently, pull me up."

Shen Fei put on the diving suit, looking eager to try it out.

Soon, with Pete's help, the wetsuit was put on.

Shen Fei took a breath of oxygen; the mask was buzzing, and he wasn't quite used to it.

He gave Pete a thumbs-up and jumped down headfirst.

What was previously a terrifyingly dark underwater world in Pete's eyes was as bright as day in Shen Fei's eyes.

His senses quickly scanned the collapsed cave 20 meters below. Ironically, even after a whole night, the carp, which was more than half a meter long, was still hiding in the cave, like a timid partridge, its head up and body down, hiding in the water plants.

I wonder where the rainbow salmon that was chasing it went.

Predators are never as patient as runners.

Shen Fei focused his attention on the carp, sensing its unease and even its weakness.

"This idiot! Doesn't he know to go out and find some food?"

Shen Fei sent some thoughts like "You're safe," "Don't be afraid," and "I won't hurt you" into the carp's mind. The carp shook its body and calmed down a lot.

It flicked its tail and emerged from the seaweed, then began to look around, its attention soon settling on Shen Fei, who was diving deeper and deeper.

Shenfei was at a depth of about 18 meters at this time, and was very close to the carp.

Strangely, the other party wasn't afraid of him at all.

Soon, Shen Fei landed at the entrance of the collapsed cave.

He glanced at the two oak crates about two meters away from him, and a strange thought arose in his mind.

If his consciousness could sense the joys and sorrows of the underwater creatures, could he command them to work for him?

Shen Fei decided to give it a try.

"Brother Fish, please bring me that small box."

Shen Fei pointed to the smaller oak box.

The carp flicked its tail, looked at Shen Fei, then at the oak box among the water plants, and actually understood Shen Fei's intention.

It plunged to the edge of the box, circled it, and finally grabbed the iron chain above it, pulling hard.

Shen Fei was overjoyed.

It gives me a sense of accomplishment, like when I was a kid playing frisbee with my dog ​​back in my hometown.

Although the oak box looked quite large, the carp didn't have much trouble carrying it thanks to the buoyancy of the water.

"Brother Fish, could you help me try fetching that big box?"

Shen Fei took the small oak box and then pointed to the slightly larger oak box.

The clumsy carp swam over again.

It circled the oak box once, then grabbed the end of a chain, flicked its tail, and began to drag it laboriously.

Unfortunately, after dragging it a few times, the box didn't budge.

The carp continued to drag the boat tirelessly, head down, again and again. Shen Fei couldn't bear to watch any longer. He waved his hand and said, "Brother Fish, this small box is yours. Help me pull it out of the water. I'll handle the big one."

"In return, if we encounter that rainbow salmon later, I'll help you chase it away."

The meaning of this transmission was somewhat complicated, and Shen Fei was unsure whether the silly fish could understand it.

Sure enough, the other party only paused for a moment, then continued to circle around the large box, showing no intention of returning.

Shen Fei recalled a magazine article he had read before, which stated that fish are lower organisms with very poor intelligence and especially poor memory, and they act solely on instinct.

It's already quite good that the other party was able to grasp Shen Fei's instructions in a simple way.

It's probably the Heart of the Ocean that's causing this.

Thinking about this, Shen Fei gradually lost the idea of ​​continuing to tease the other party.

He descended to the bottom of the cave, placed his feet on the roots of the seaweed, and easily dragged the large box up.

Then, holding onto an oak box with one hand, he slowly floated up to the surface of the lake.

What's heartwarming is that the carp actually kept circling around Shen Fei, as if it were very fond of him.

Shen Fei continued to send it a simple command via his mind: "You're safe now, hurry up and find some food!"

The carp understood his command, and perhaps fearing a surprise attack from the rainbow salmon, it chose to continue dancing around Shen Fei.

Shen Fei ignored it and, with Pete's help, quickly surfaced.
