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

Lin Mo thought for a moment and decided to give them a little shock.

"Old Bai didn't go into details, but there have been similar auction records before."

"It's not Mr. Zhou's; it's a fragment of another literary master's manuscript, probably a few hundred words."

He held up one finger.

"A single page sold for tens of millions."

"This one... is the complete version."

An eerie silence fell over the deck once again.

The only sound was gasping for breath.

"Brother Mo, you...you're scaring us, I have a heart condition..." Ah Yan clutched his chest, feeling a little breathless.

Lin Mo casually delivered the final blow.

"I just glanced at it briefly, and that manuscript is at least several thousand words long."

"If we were to charge per character, 60,000 yuan per character would probably be a conservative estimate."

Holy crap!

"I'll never say studying is useless again! Sixty thousand yuan for a single word! Even a printing press can't make money that fast!"

"Damn it, I've lived for over twenty years, and not a single word of my life is worth that much!"

"Stop talking, stop talking, or I'll really faint!"

The crew members went completely mad, clutching their heads, laughing and crying, whether from excitement or overstimulation, it was hard to tell.

The live stream chat exploded with excitement.

[Sixty thousand for a single word?! Did I hear that right?! I'm bad at math, can someone help me calculate how much that is?!]

[Several thousand words...that's...hundreds of millions?! Holy crap! The streamer's pulled up a prototype of a money-printing machine!]

[I hereby declare that from today onwards, Lin Mo is my one and only brother! Brother Mo! Does the ship need someone to scrub the back?!]

[Forget about the rest, Brother Mo has already done a great service to the country; from now on, he'll be a walking escort for national treasures!]

Just then, Ah Yan suddenly slapped his thigh.

"By the way, Brother Mo! What about that beat-up car?"

He was referring to the old car from the Republic of China era that had been salvaged earlier.

It used to be considered a rare item, but now compared to that manuscript, it's just a pile of scrap metal.

"It takes up a lot of space, and it's incredibly heavy."

"How about... we throw it back into the sea?"

The proposal was immediately agreed upon by all crew members.

"Yes, yes, yes! Throw it away, throw it away!"

"What a piece of junk! Don't take up the place of a national treasure!"

"Exactly! What if it bumps into or scratches the national treasure?"

Lin Mo looked at the excited crowd and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, then let's just throw it away."

"Anyway, it's just a pile of scrap metal, it's not worth much."

Thus, under the gaze of millions of viewers, the vintage car from the Republic of China era, which had only recently been unearthed, was unveiled.

It was slowly lifted up by the crane, and then with a "plop," it returned to the embrace of the sea.

[Hilarious! The most unimpressive antique car in history, only lasted half a day after being brought out of the water.]

[Car: What did I do to deserve this? I just came up for some fresh air and they kicked me back down?]

[There's nothing we can do. You came from the same website as Lu Xun's manuscripts; if you're going to have a manuscript, why would you have one?]

After clearing away the debris, the fishing boat set sail again, found a new area in the high seas, and cast its nets once more.

With the groundbreaking discovery of the manuscript, the crew is now full of energy.

They all dreamed of catching Qin Shi Huang's Imperial Seal in the next net.

More than half an hour later.

"Waaaaah!"

The load-bearing machine suddenly emitted a piercing alarm!

The numbers on the dial jumped wildly, finally settling steadily on an astonishing number.

"Two thousand catties!"

"Brother Mo! It's another big one! And it's alive!"

The crew member in charge of monitoring shouted excitedly.

The crew members immediately surrounded them, craning their necks and looking on with anticipation.

"Holy crap! Not again?"

"A living creature weighing two thousand pounds? What kind of deep-sea monster is this?"

"Could it be a giant grouper? That would be a fortune!"

The viewers in the live stream also got excited.

[Another job? This streamer's luck is unbelievable!]

Two thousand jin! That's a ton! What does that even mean? It's as heavy as a fully grown water buffalo!

[Pull it up and take a look! I can't wait!]

Lin Mo immediately gave the order.

"Slow down! Be careful, everyone!"

The enormous fishing net was slowly lifted from the deep sea, splashing water as a huge black and white figure appeared and disappeared within it.

"This...this is..."

When the figure fully emerged from the water, everyone could see what it looked like.

A streamlined body shape, distinct black and white skin, and a signature dorsal fin.

"It's an orca!"

"My God! We've caught an orca!"

A gasp rippled across the deck.

The live stream was instantly flooded with the word "orca".

Holy crap! A live killer whale! The king of the ocean!

[This baby doesn't seem very big; it's probably still a minor!]

[For your information, orcas are the most intelligent animals in the ocean.]

[Top predators, yet they are very friendly towards humans and have almost no history of intentionally harming people!]

The crucial point is that orcas are a Class II protected animal in China! The streamer can't sell them!

Seeing the baby orca struggling slightly in the fishing net, emitting mournful cries, Lin Mo frowned and immediately gave the order.

"Stop the machine!"

"Let the fishing net just float on the water!"

He quickly took off his coat and said to Ah Yan and the others beside him.

"What are you all standing there for? Change into your life jackets and come with me into the sea to rescue people... to rescue whales!"

"Huh? Brother Mo, are we jumping down?" Ah Yan was a little confused.

"What else can we do? How are we going to untangle the fishing nets on the boat? Hurry up! They'll run out of oxygen if we leave them there too long!"

Lin Mo's tone left no room for argument.

Ah Yan and the other four young and strong crew members immediately realized what was happening and hurriedly began to put on their equipment.

"Brother! I'm going too!"

Lin Siyu, the younger sister, ran out of the cabin, her big eyes sparkling with excitement.

"After you rescue it, can I pet it? It's so cute!"

Lin Mo looked at his audacious younger sister with a sense of helplessness.

"Let's rescue it and make sure it's not aggressive before we proceed."

"You are not allowed to jump into the sea. Go down the ladder at the stern, and you must wait until we are finished before you go into the water."

"Yay!" Lin Siyu jumped up happily.

A few minutes later.

"Splash! Splash!"

Lin Mo, along with four crew members, jumped into the icy sea one after another, like dumplings being dropped into boiling water.

They quickly swam to the trapped baby killer whale, took out the diving knife they had prepared beforehand, and began to cut the fishing nets entangled around its body.

The baby killer whale was very clever; it seemed to know that these people had come to rescue it.

She didn't struggle violently, but just looked at Lin Mo with her big, wet eyes, letting out a pitiful sob.

The rescue operation went smoothly.

In less than five minutes, the fishing net binding the baby killer whale was completely untied.

The young orca, now free, let out a joyful cry.

It circled around Lin Mo once, then gently bumped Lin Mo's chest with its head.

The touch was very light, more like an intimate touch.

"This guy is quite intelligent," Ah Yan said with a smile from the side.
