Fishermen's live stream: Twelve bodies were retrieved at the start.

A dozen minutes later.

"Raise the net!"

With Lin Mo's command, the winch turned, and the huge fishing net was slowly pulled out of the water.

As before, the fishing net was empty, containing only some seaweed and a few small fish.

as well as……

A dozen or so groupers, their bellies swollen and already dead!

"More dead fish!"

"Quick! Bring it here!"

The crew, already experienced, quickly and efficiently carried the dead fish to the center of the deck.

Lin Mo did not make a move.

He handed the fish-gutting knife to the young crew member who had asked the question first.

"Come here."

"I...I'll do it?"

The young crew member was flattered.

"Just like I did, gently slice it open from below the gills."

Lin Mo provided guidance from the side.

The young crew member imitated Lin Mo, found the right spot, and gently sliced ​​with the tip of the knife.

"Sizzle—"

The fish's belly was cut open.

A gold ingot bearing a familiar stamp rolled out, along with some undigested fish and shrimp!

"It's out! It's out again!"

"My God! There really are more!"

The entire ship erupted in cheers!

The young crew member was so excited that his face turned red. Ignoring the stench, he reached out and picked up the gold ingot.

The remaining crew members picked up knives and began to process the remaining dead fish.

"I have one here too!"

"Haha! Mine too!"

"Here! There's another one here!"

Exclamations of surprise rose and fell!

When the last dead fish was gutted, fifteen Guangxu silver coins were found on the deck!

Adding the previous ten, there are a total of twenty-five!

The pile of glittering gold ingots was so dazzling it almost blinded everyone.

In the live stream, the barrage of comments was so dense that the screen was completely obscured.

[This is insane! Utterly insane! This isn't fishing, it's gold rush!]

Twenty-five! Oh my god! I'm bad at math, can someone help me calculate how much this is worth?

At three million each, that's seventy-five million...

I'm completely numb, really. Is it too late for me to quit my job and become a fisherman?

[Wake up, do you think everyone has the luck and skill of a streamer?]

Lin Mo looked at the frenzied scene before him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

It seems there truly is a vast treasure beneath this seabed.

Just then.

A small white dot appeared on the distant horizon.

The white dot was heading towards the fishing boat.

Lin Mo squinted and quickly saw that it was a speedboat with the four bright red characters "Huaxia Archaeology" printed on the side of the boat.

The national team has arrived.

The speedboat pulled up, and a middle-aged man who looked to be around fifty years old was being helped by two young men.

They boarded the fishing boat with nimble movements.

He immediately spotted the pile of gold ingots on the deck and the crew members reveling nearby.

A flicker of shock crossed the man's eyes, but it was quickly suppressed by his professional demeanor.

His gaze swept across the crowd before finally settling on Lin Mo.

"Hello, are you Mr. Lin Mo?"

The man strode forward and extended his hands warmly.

Lin Mo extended her hand and shook hands with him.

"I am."

"Oh, Mr. Lin, it's great to see you!"

The middle-aged man gripped Lin Mo's hand tightly and shook it forcefully.

"My name is Hu Jiahui, and I'm the leader of the museum's archaeological team. Thank you so much for this!"

"You have made an immense contribution to the country and to our archaeological community!"

"These national treasures sleeping at the bottom of the sea, without you, I really don't know when they would have seen the light of day again!"

"Professor Hu, you're too kind. I just happened to run into you."

Lin Mo said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Everything is here."

He pointed to the pile of gold ingots on the nail plate.

"As for how much more is beneath the seabed, I have no idea."

Looking at the small pile of gold ingots, even with his extensive knowledge, Hu Jiahui couldn't help but gasp.

A total of twenty-five gold ingots made by the Qing Dynasty government in the late Qing Dynasty!

If this gets out, the entire archaeological community will be shaken!

He forcibly suppressed his inner elation, looked at Lin Mo, and his tone became even more sincere.

"Mr. Lin, rest assured, we will definitely not let you suffer any losses."

Hu Jiahui paused for a moment, then said.

"We acquire these that have already been discovered at the highest market premium."

"In addition, our institute's leaders have decided that for every new Guangxu Yuanbao coin discovered in this sea area in the future..."

"We'll give you another 20,000 yuan as a reward!"

Hu Jiahui's words instantly reignited the crew's emotions, which had just begun to calm down.

"Brother, I... I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

Lin Siyu said excitedly.

"Twenty thousand each, so if we catch another hundred, that's two million?"

"What if there were a thousand? That would be... twenty million!"

She felt that her math skills were almost insufficient.

Lin Mo looked at his sister's pathetic state and shook his head with amusement.

"Professor Hu, you're too kind."

Lin Mo expressed his gratitude.

"Discovering national treasures and handing them over to the country is the duty of every citizen."

"This reward is far too generous."

"Hey, Mr. Lin, you can't say that!"

Hu Jiahui waved his hand and explained with a serious expression.

"To encounter shipwreck treasures at sea is a rare and precious opportunity."

"Your timely notification is a testament to your commendable quality."

"You deserve this reward!"

He paused, then added.

"Furthermore, the cultural value of these gold ingots far exceeds their intrinsic value as gold."

"Even our museum can't possibly eat that much."

"When the time comes, if it's distributed to other sister museums, it will also be a contribution from us."

"So, Mr. Lin, please consider this a favor and accept this surprise!"

Hu Jia Hui spoke with such sincerity and sincerity that Lin Mo naturally couldn't refuse any longer.

"Then, thank you very much, Professor Hu, and thank you to the country."

Lin Mo nodded, which was taken as an agreement.

"Haha, that's more like it!"

Hu Jiahui laughed heartily.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, they agreed on how to contact each other.

Lin Mo then suggested that the fishing boat be moved away from this core area to make room for the archaeological team's exploration work.

Hu Jiahui was naturally extremely grateful for this.

With the roar of the engine, the fishing boat slowly turned around and headed away into the distance.

On deck, the crew were still immersed in great joy.

On the archaeological team's speedboat, however, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.

A young team member wearing glasses approached Hu Jiahui, lowered his voice, and asked in confusion.

"Professor Hu, aren't we being a bit too impulsive by doing this?"

"For each Guangxu Yuanbao coin, the individual reward is 20,000, with no upper limit."

"If word gets out, the hospital's budget..."

The young man hesitated to speak, but his meaning was already quite clear.

This amount of money is far too much.

Moreover, the other party was just a fisherman.

Even if he holds the title of "anti-drug ambassador," it has absolutely nothing to do with archaeology.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiahui's smile faded, and he turned to look at the student he valued highly.

"Xiao Li, you're only seeing things superficially."

"Do you really think he's just an ordinary fisherman who got lucky?"
