Chapter 9 The Magical Underwater World

"Hi Pete, I'm Shen Fei from Dasheng Fishing Ground. My grandfather told me before he passed away that you're a great helmsman. Do you have some time lately?"

"Oh, Mr. Shen Fei, I've been looking forward to your call for a long time. To be honest, if I don't work, we'll be starving. My wife is pregnant with our second child."

"Okay, I hope to see you at the fish farm tomorrow morning."

"I will definitely be there, Mr. Shen, please rest assured."

This guy lives in St. John's, which is almost an hour's drive from there.

These migrant workers are similar to long-term laborers in a landlord's household, but of course they have much more freedom than long-term laborers, as they can choose to work for several employers at the same time.

They usually work at fish farms, signing short-term contracts with one particular fish farm. Once the contract expires, they will be hired by other fish farms.

This is why Shen Fei appointed a squad leader in advance.

If he acts too late, there's a risk that other fishing grounds might snatch the catch.

After finishing his phone call and lunch, once the temperature had risen slightly, Shen Fei retrieved a diving suit from the warehouse, put on his goggles, and then went to the lakeside where he had previously thrown down the trident.

There are some things he doesn't want others to know; it's best if he acts alone.

For example, this treasure hunt at the bottom of the lake.

Shen Fei took a deep breath, gripped the trident in one hand, and leaped into the lake.

Having learned from that previous mysterious experience, Shenfei was now prepared.

He searched around the lake and soon found a small fish with a black back, white belly, and a short, stout body.

Judging from its appearance, it is either a grass carp or a common carp.

Shen Fei's consciousness quickly and gently adhered to it.

He was still on the lake shore, where the water was less than 3 meters deep. Shen Fei placed his feet on the soft sand at the bottom of the lake to keep himself in place, and turned his head to look around.

The light at the bottom of the lake was not as dark as I had imagined; on the contrary, it was quite bright.

Perhaps it was because Shen Fei had integrated with the Heart of the Ocean, but his field of vision was extremely wide; he could see very far just by wearing goggles.

Pearl Lake is not an ordinary inland lake; one side of it is directly connected to the mouth of the Atlantic Ocean. The entire lake is bowl-shaped, making it a natural and ideal fishing ground.

To his surprise, there were some freshwater fish in Pearl Lake.

The small fish that was absorbed by Shen Fei's consciousness quickly swam to the bottom of a clump of water plants and gradually moved towards the center of the lake. His vision followed the small fish directly and gradually he saw many fish from the bottom of the lake appear around it.

There are carp and grass carp that are over a meter long. They move fiercely and powerfully, and their posture is domineering and unrestrained. They are simply the overlords of this lake.

A clump of water plants began to shake violently.

Shen Fei quickly shifted his attention to the clump of water plants. He sensed that the clump of water plants was unusually agitated. It turned out that a loach with a grayish-yellow body and black spots on its body was pushing out from underneath.

The loach was over 20 centimeters long and was completely different from the loach Shen Fei had seen when he was a child. He had been cramming on fish knowledge on his phone these past few days and learned that it was a black-spotted loach, a common freshwater fish in North America.

Two black-spotted loaches opened and closed their mouths, trying to find seeds of aquatic plants to eat, when a carp about the length of an adult's arm rushed over and devoured clumps of aquatic plants with its large mouth open.

The black-spotted loach was startled and fled, while the carp ate most of the aquatic plants and then swam away triumphantly, wagging its tail.

Interestingly, Shen Fei sensed anger emanating from these two black-spotted loaches.

Shen Fei's consciousness continued to extend towards the center of the lake, where he saw pike, as well as more grass carp and common carp.

The world in the lake is not as colorful as the land, but it is still exceptionally rich, practically a self-contained little world.

But Shen Fei's purpose in coming here was to find the treasure that sank to the bottom of the lake, not to enjoy the scenery.

He surfaced to catch his breath, his consciousness continuing to drift towards the center of the lake.

Just then, he saw a large carp, more than half a meter long, suddenly rush out, followed by a brightly colored rainbow salmon.

The rainbow salmon was unusually angry and was clearly chasing after the carp.

It was baring its teeth, as if it were chasing after an enemy.

The carp, driven to desperation, crashed downwards, trying to hide in the mud. Little did it know that its impact had caused a small collapse at the bottom of the lake, revealing a cave hidden among the water plants.

The cave was only four or five meters wide, and the carp, in its panic, plunged inside.

The rainbow salmon behind them naturally gave chase.

Out of curiosity, Shen Fei also probed his consciousness down.

That glance made him so happy he almost jumped for joy.

Two oak chests, one large and one small, are tilted at the bottom of the lake. They are rectangular in shape, with an antique style, and are firmly bound by iron chains, easily reminiscent of legendary treasure chests.

Shen Fei roughly estimated the depth of the cave to be about 20 meters below the lake bottom. At this depth, professional diving equipment would be required. Although he had external support, he dared not take the risk rashly.

"Write down the location first."

"Ask Pete tomorrow if he can dive down."

Shen Fei remembered that his great-grandfather wrote "all-rounder" under the introduction of this Pete, not only is he good at carpentry, but he is also proficient in various skills. He is a rare talent (a laborer).

The cave was located within the Great Sage Fishing Grounds. According to the laws of Maple Leaf Country, whoever finds it owns it. Even if someone discovers that he has retrieved two boxes of treasure, there is no need to worry about disputes.

The box was in his fishing grounds, and he was the one who found the contents. The treasure belonged to him; it was that simple.

Shen Fei had been at the bottom of the lake for an hour, and his body was starting to feel cold. Now that they had found the treasure, they decided to bring it up first.

He secretly memorized the location of the cave, and then climbed from the bottom of the lake to the shore.

Whether it was just his imagination or not, ever since he fused with the Heart of the Ocean, not only has his ability to hold his breath improved, but his physical fitness has also become significantly stronger than before.

You have to understand that the temperature isn't warm right now. If a normal person were to stay underwater for that long wearing just a diving suit, they would definitely freeze and have to be taken to the hospital.

He only felt slightly cold.

This is definitely good news.

Even if you have a fortune, what is more important than a young and healthy body?

Shen Fei aims to become a top-tier tycoon who is both young and in good health.

With these two boxes of treasure as a foundation, the operation of Dasheng Fish Farm should be able to proceed smoothly. Hopefully, they don't contain some worthless junk.
