Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.
Chapter 21 Extra Income is Higher Than Fishing
Then, Lin Mo waved at the camera with an apologetic smile on his face.
"Alright, that's all for today's live stream."
"We didn't catch anything good at sea today, so we can't do a giveaway for everyone."
"I'll definitely make it up to everyone next time we go out to sea."
After saying that, he prepared to turn off the live stream.
The crew members beamed with joy upon hearing this.
Although they are all veterans who make a living at sea, who wouldn't want to go home as soon as possible?
The vibrant world on the mainland is far more interesting than this vast ocean.
[No, streamer! Please stream a little longer, I want to see what happens next!]
[Exactly! They just pulled up a big one, why did they end the stream already?]
[That's not fair of the streamer, they're keeping us hanging!]
[Haha, the streamer is probably scared. If he catches something serious again, his stream will be banned.]
[Those who are being narrow-minded, aren't they? The streamer is off to collect his prize money; he doesn't have time to bother with us.]
The chat room was still buzzing with activity.
The audience was clearly very curious about the so-called "spy device".
Lin Mo glanced at the comments and couldn't help but smile.
"What happens next? The next thing is to hand it over to the state and then go home to sleep."
"If you're really interested in this thing, you can pay more attention to official news."
"Maybe we'll see it on TV in a couple of days."
He said it half-jokingly.
What's so interesting about official news? We just want to see you, the anchor!
[Hey streamer, can I join you on your next sea trip? I'd love to catch a torpedo and have some fun with it.]
[Hey upstairs, watch out for the water meter! You can't just fish that out like that!]
[By the way, streamer, could you send me that buoy you retrieved? I'll pay for the shipping!]
[Wow, wow! Dude upstairs, you know how to get on the news.]
The style of the bullet comments gradually became silly and absurd.
Lin Mo shook his head helplessly.
This generation of netizens is getting more and more cheeky.
He ignored the teasing comments in the live stream, said goodbye to the audience, and decisively ended the live stream.
As the live stream ended, the atmosphere on the ship instantly relaxed.
Several crew members gathered around, their faces filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Brother Mo, did we... strike it rich again this time?"
A young crew member rubbed his hands together and chuckled.
His eyes kept glancing at the large gray creature that was carefully placed in the corner of the deck.
Although I was quite frightened just now, I've calmed down and all that's left is excitement.
This thing looks incredibly valuable!
"It's out! It's definitely out!"
Another, slightly older crew member slapped his thigh hard.
"Last time, they gave a reward of 500,000 for that crappy torpedo. This time, this high-tech gadget should at least double that, right?"
"One million?!"
The young crew member's eyes widened instantly.
"Isn't that a narrow perspective?"
Before Lin Mo could speak, Lin Siyu couldn't help but interject, waving her phone and saying smugly.
"I just secretly checked, and these reconnaissance buoys from Country M cost at least a million dollars!"
"We got the latest model, it'll only be more expensive!"
One million dollars!
This number made all the crew members present gasp in shock.
Be nice!
What we retrieved wasn't some kind of spy equipment; it was practically a swimming gold bar!
"Then...then what about our prize money this time..."
"It's hard to say."
Lin Mo shook his head, but his expression was relaxed.
"The reward for this kind of thing isn't based on its cost; it depends on its intelligence value. But don't worry, it'll definitely be substantial."
For him, the bonus was secondary.
What truly excited him was the reward given by the system.
The system rewarded me with 500 points just for discovering this buoy.
This is the amount he painstakingly accumulated over several days of live streaming.
Needless to say, there will definitely be additional rewards if this item is handed over.
"Brother Mo, how much did we make in total from this voyage?"
One of the crew members asked curiously.
All eyes turned to Lin Mu.
This is what they care about most.
Lin Mo smiled and silently calculated in his mind.
"This trip to sea was short, and the catch was not much. The main thing was that those few top-quality tuna were valuable."
"All things considered, it probably sold for... around ten million."
Although he already had a certain expectation in his mind, he was still surprised when Lin Mo said the number.
The crowd couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
They've only been at sea for a few days!
He earned more money than an average person could earn in a lifetime!
"We've struck it rich! This time we've really struck it rich!"
"Haha, I'm going to trade in my beat-up Santana when I get back!"
"Forget about the Santana, go straight for a BBA!"
"Brother Mo is awesome!"
The crew cheered and jumped for joy, their faces flushed with excitement.
Seeing how happy they were, Lin Mo's mood also brightened.
He really enjoys the feeling of leading everyone to make money together.
"Alright, stop grinning like an idiot."
Lin Mo clapped his hands, signaling everyone to quiet down.
"The accounts aren't settled yet. The fuel costs and boat maintenance fees for this trip still need to be deducted."
Hearing this, the atmosphere on the ship calmed down a bit.
"Brother Mo, after deducting these, how much is left?"
Someone asked cautiously.
"Don't worry, we'll still get the lion's share."
Lin Mo smiled.
"We'll have to wait until we get back to the finance department to calculate the exact figures, but it will definitely be a number that will satisfy you."
He didn't go into too much detail.
After all, maintaining such a large fishing boat is an astronomical expense.
The daily fuel consumption alone is enough to deter ordinary small business owners.
In addition, there's regular ship maintenance, equipment upgrades, and the crew's social insurance and housing fund benefits...
Each of these items represents a significant expense.
However, as long as profitability can be guaranteed, these are not problems.
Looking at the distant horizon, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a complex emotion encompassing feelings, thoughts, and reflections).
Transmigrating to this world and becoming a captain is perhaps the luckiest thing that has ever happened to him.
Moreover, it seems that I also have a special constitution.
While others go out to sea to fish, he goes out to sea... to salvage weapons.
This luck is simply incredible, like they've been given a cheat code.
Perhaps this is one of the perks that time travelers come with.
"Brother, look!"
Just as Lin Mo was lost in thought, Lin Siyu suddenly handed him her phone.
"It's on the news!"
Lin Mo took the phone and looked at it closely.
The screen displays a notification from a local news client.
The title is very eye-catching.
The Beiyang Naval Museum has added a new item: China's first torpedo!
Lin Mo was taken aback.
Isn't this the same old antique they fished up last time?
He opened the news and read it carefully.
The report was short, mainly introducing the historical background and significance of the torpedo.
The article mentions that the torpedo went through several twists and turns before finally sinking to the bottom of the sea.
It was only recently discovered and handed over by a "helpful fisherman".
"Mr. Lin, a kind-hearted fisherman..."
Upon seeing this title, Lin Mo's lips twitched involuntarily.
He clicked on the comments section below the news article and found that netizens were already discussing it enthusiastically.
Holy crap! A torpedo created during our country's hard times? This is a real antique!
It's a miracle that something from so many years ago is still so well preserved!
[A salute to that kind-hearted fisherman! His awareness is truly remarkable!]
By the way, does anyone know who this "Mr. Lin" is? Please let me know, I want to give him a thumbs up!
[For your information, although this old-fashioned torpedo has no practical combat value, it has extremely high historical research and collection value!] [This Mr. Lin has truly made a great contribution to the country!]
Looking at these comments, Lin Mo felt a mix of emotions.
On the one hand, he was proud to be able to contribute to the country.
On the other hand, he was astonished by the speed at which the media seized on trending topics.
How long has it been?
What happened in the morning was already known all over the internet by the afternoon.
This efficiency is simply amazing.
