Chapter 383: Acquiring the Treasure From the Shipwreck!

At the highest point of the deep-sea shipwreck.

The wood here had almost entirely rotted away, covered in a gray substance and the remains of marine life.

The room at the very top was large, but the Submarine couldn't fit inside.

Ning Fei could only hover above and look down, taking in the entire state of the room.

"Look, everyone. This is where the person in charge of the ship lived. To be the manager of a treasure ship, this person must have been a high-ranking official."

"Such officials usually had immense privileges."

"Their living quarters were naturally much more luxurious."

The viewers looked into the room.

They could see the remains of a wooden bed and a table, though both had unfortunately collapsed beyond recognition.

Additionally, there were several smaller rooms surrounding the master bedroom.

"Those were the rooms for attendants and servants. In ancient times, the concept of privilege was deeply entrenched, and high officials enjoyed excellent treatment."

Ning Fei added.

"I'm so jealous. I really want to time-travel to the past and be a high official."

"It's not like high officials today don't have privileges too."

"You clearly don't understand the current situation. The policies are very strict now, and many people don't dare to be so arrogant."

"To think they had such massive ships back in the Ming Dynasty. If they sailed to other countries and parked this great ship by the coast, how majestic would that be?"

"It's a pity they couldn't compete with industrial ships later on. Of course, Huaxia's traditional shipbuilding craftsmanship is still top-tier in the world."

Ning Fei continued looking at the manager's room.

The seabed was pitch black; he could only see clearly where the Submarine's lights shone.

Ning Fei had excellent eyesight.

"There!"

As the Submarine's lights swept over the area, Ning Fei saw two sealed treasure chests scattered beneath the collapsed table.

Both were very small boxes, only large enough to hold a single jewel or a necklace.

The Qiming Pearl was very likely inside.

Next, Ning Fei had to figure out a way to retrieve the Qiming Pearl.

He was currently live-streaming, so he needed to avoid the viewers' line of sight while getting it.

However, this was simple.

In any case, no one knew yet that the Submarine had a robotic arm function capable of grabbing things underwater.

With this in mind, Ning Fei had the Tuna Live Submarine film elsewhere, then operated the Submarine's robotic arm to retrieve the two treasure chests.

From beneath the Submarine extended a robotic arm resembling a crane, equipped with a mechanical claw that could open and close.

While Ning Fei was busily operating it, the viewers filled the chat with question marks.

??????

"Why did the screen go black?"

"Did something happen again?!"

"Don't scare me, I'm already watching this with my heart in my throat."

"Why is there only a glowing little fish left in the frame? What is this livestream submarine filming?!"

"Hurry up and film the Submarine! We want to see Ning Guan master!"

"We want to see the deep-sea shipwreck!"

Everyone was impatient and clamoring.

Then, the live feed panned across and resumed filming the Submarine and the deep-sea shipwreck.

Only then did the viewers settle down.

No one noticed that the two treasure chests hidden among the rotting wood at the very top of the shipwreck had already vanished.

By this time, Ning Fei was driving the Submarine, slowly circling the lower deck of the deep-sea shipwreck.

Viewed from a distance, the scene remained breathtaking.

The much smaller Submarine continuously explored above the behemoth of a ship.

This scene fulfilled many people's imaginations of the mysterious deep sea.

"It's a pity that going outside at such depths requires highly specialized diving equipment,"

"Although current human technology can achieve it, very few countries would spend such a massive fortune making diving suits just to explore the seabed."

"Compared to the ocean floor, building spacesuits to explore the stars holds far greater significance."

"Besides, video equipment can reach depths of several thousand meters and explore just the same, so it makes no real difference whether a person actually goes down or not,"

Ning Fei explained.

Deep-sea diving was a fantasy for many.

A thousand meters underwater lived massive creatures like sperm whales and giant squids.

Then what about ten thousand meters down?

There were many discussions regarding this question, but they were all purely speculative.

Humanity had never set foot in such places; it might hide terrifying creatures beyond imagination.

Ning Fei circled the shipwreck for a while longer, broadcasting the entirety of the massive ship's appearance.

The colossal structure of the hull was breathtaking.

"The oxygen will last for about another hour."

"Our luck wasn't bad, encountering a deep-sea shipwreck on this trip."

"It's time to head back, or it'll be troublesome if the oxygen runs out."

Ning Fei told the viewers in the livestream room, then drove the Submarine straight toward the surface of the sea.

Although the viewers wanted to look at the deep-sea shipwreck a bit longer, they knew Ning Fei's safety was more important. The oxygen supply for diving was limited, and since this was a depth of a thousand meters, ascending and descending took a lot of time.

Therefore, it was best to go up as early as possible.

"What a shame. Such a huge shipwreck, I wanted to look at it for a little while longer!"

"It's not easy to encounter a scene like this."

"I can only say that Ning Guan master's livestream is simply too amazing."

The Tuna Live Submarine followed Ning Fei's Submarine, slowly making its way up.

The surrounding light grew brighter and brighter.

From the perspective of the live feed, it looked as if Ning Fei were piloting a spaceship through empty air, flying upward.

The visual aesthetics of the scene were beautiful.

Gradually, the number of fish increased.

Compared to the darkness of the seabed, the shallow waters above were the true paradise for fish to live in.

As Ning Fei traveled upward, accompanied by the changing environment, it truly felt like ascending from hell to heaven.

Soon after, he successfully returned to the surface. He used his Wristband to lower the lifting platform of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship and drove the Submarine inside.

The lifting platform rose slowly, signaling the end of this deep-sea expedition.

The viewers watched through the livestream feed as Ning Fei's Submarine returned to the cruise ship. A second later, the feed switched to the drone's perspective.

Everyone could see the full view of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

Little Dog and Little Fei were running back and forth, looking extremely active.

Many seabirds were flying around the cruise ship.

However, some viewers noticed a very strange detail.

After resting on the mast for a short while, these seabirds would fly over the surface of the sea to circle around before coming back.

Looking closely, one could even see that these seabirds flew to other areas seemingly specifically to drop their bird poop.

Of course, very few people could notice such a detail.

Ever since Ning Fei received that reward last time, it had been a huge misfortune for the seabirds on the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

Whenever they flew into the airspace above the cruise ship, they would inexplicably become constipated.

However, this also guaranteed the cleanliness of the cruise ship.

While the drone broadcasted the cruise ship, Ning Fei stepped out of the Submarine inside the cabin.

It had felt a bit stifling inside the Submarine; the moment he came out, he immediately felt much more relaxed and free.

From the Submarine's rear compartment, Ning Fei retrieved the two treasure chests he had brought back from the deep-sea shipwreck.

The chests were caked in mud, and the copper clasps in the middle were severely corroded, practically on the verge of breaking.

With a light pull, he opened one of the treasure chests.

At this moment, the System had not yet issued a notification for completing the quest.

Ning Fei also didn't know whether the Qiming Pearl was actually inside these two chests.

However, he had already circled the deep-sea shipwreck several times earlier, thoroughly investigating every area that could be explored.

The viewers thought he was just exploring, but in reality, alongside the exploration, Ning Fei had also been searching for any place the Qiming Pearl might be.

The final conclusion was that the Qiming Pearl could only be in these two chests, which was why he brought them back.

Ning Fei opened the first treasure chest.

Almost at the exact moment he opened it, the System's notification chimed.

"Deep-Sea Shipwreck Sign-In Quest completed."

"Reward obtained: One private plane."
