"Woooo~~~" Lu Yunsong accelerated on the yacht, which shot forward like an arrow...
Underneath the sea, Ye Hao and the others were enjoying being pulled forward by the submarine. With National Martial Arts at their disposal, they naturally wouldn't fear some underwater reefs, nor worry about being pulled too quickly by the yacht, causing them to surface.
Ye Hao instructed Qianqian to start scanning a distance of two hundred meters around them and then scan two hundred meters again in another area. Ye Hao fully trusted the system that Qianqian controlled, as he had witnessed the various high-tech equipment in the space. If he had the capital and resources, he could create an advanced scanning device, though these things take time.
Qianqian had never refused Ye Hao's orders, except in the situation where Ye Hao had no authority to access certain things.
Xue Zhaolong wondered what Ye Hao was up to. Skimming over the seabed whimsically, did he have some detection equipment with him? Otherwise, how would he know where in the vast Houhai Bay there were Luminous Pearls? Thinking of this, Xue Zhaolong helplessly shook his head.
Zhuorong Town thought similarly, only he wondered if Ye Hao's strength had broken through, or if Ye Hao himself possessed extraordinary abilities, like clairvoyance or acute hearing. It must be said Zhuorong Town had seen quite a bit, as there were indeed such talented people in this world, although they generally remain hidden and don't make themselves known.
"Qianqian, are there any good things two hundred meters ahead?" Ye Hao asked Qianqian in the space.
"Yes, there's a group of hundred-year-old dragon shrimp, but it's difficult to catch them with your strength," Qianqian said with a smile.
"I'm asking if there are any treasures..." Ye Hao said in his mind with helplessness.
"Dragon shrimp that are over a hundred years old are treasures. Being deeply hidden in the ocean's nature, its flesh contains a large amount of Spiritual Power. Of course, this Spiritual Power is indiscernible on Earth, but eating its meat will greatly benefit your strength," Qianqian explained to Ye Hao, imparting knowledge he didn't understand.
"Really?" Ye Hao's eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing this. Dragon shrimp with abundant Spiritual Power? Then catching a few dragon shrimp wouldn't be a wasted trip, right? It's Spiritual Power after all; even a bit of Spiritual Power on Earth, where it's scarce, is better than none.
"Yes, Master," Qianqian nodded in response.
"Beep, beep, beep." Ye Hao decisively pressed the distress signal in his hand, telling Lu Yunsong to stop.
Above, Lu Yunsong smiled widely upon seeing the signal, thinking the boss sure is impressive! He barely started racing the boat for a few minutes and already found a treasure!
After a while, Ye Hao and the three of them boarded the yacht, and Ye Hao quickly said, "Brothers, do any of you want to improve your strength a bit more? There are good things below, a group of hundred-year-old dragon shrimp. If you want, we can go down and catch them. If not, we can continue..."
Before Ye Hao finished speaking, all three shouted, "Yes." Looking at Ye Hao with eyes full of longing, they thought a hundred-year-old dragon shrimp? If they caught a group and brought them back to Peng City, they could sell for over five thousand bucks each! Though five thousand bucks isn't much for their family, it's still a considerable amount for their monthly meal budget of a little over ten thousand, of course! The most important thing was Ye Hao said these shrimp could further refine their power.
What man doesn't wish to strengthen his martial arts even further? Every man desires it; not to mention, the plump, succulent shrimp meat makes their mouths water...
"Hehe, then what are we waiting for? Song, stop thinking about slacking off, quick, put on your diving suit. Thankfully, Elder Fu was prepared; here are four nets. When the time comes, Song and I will pull one net, and Long and Ah Zhen will pull another, encircling that group of dragon shrimp," Ye Hao thought mischievously. "Qianqian, you said I couldn't catch them? Watch me catch them all in one net."
"Alright, once we're in the water don't get too close; wait for my signal on where to stand. Song and I will swim to the other side and then encircle them from front and back, catching a lot. Even if we can't eat them all, we can sell them," Ye Hao quickly instructed the three.
Lu Yunsong also put on his diving suit while Ye Hao was speaking, and the three nodded together. Then, all four of them held hands and jumped down to avoid getting too dispersed when Ye Hao tells them where the shrimp are.
After entering the water, Ye Hao led the three back to swim over a hundred meters, at which point Qianqian said in Ye Hao's mind, "Master, there are one hundred forty-five dragon shrimp in the flow sand area ahead, they're armored dragon shrimp. Don't think of catching them all at once, and don't try to hold them with your body; just use the net and bring them with water to the shore."
Ye Hao nodded, understanding this. For seafood like dragon shrimp that can crawl and swim in the sea, generally, you only need to net them and pull them along with seawater—they won't struggle or resist. Only when reaching land or leaving the water will they struggle desperately.
Ye Hao pointed at them with his finger, and the three understood, because they also saw that heap of crawling dragon shrimp ahead in the flow sand and were so excited their bodies trembled a bit. That's money, and much larger than the dragon shrimp priced at over five thousand each in Peng City.
Importantly, these were the hardest shrimp to catch—the sand dragon shrimp, whose taste is exquisite and beloved by wealthy people who know how to enjoy life!
Ye Hao found it amusing to watch them, but unable to speak in the sea, he could only drag Lu Yunsong to encircle the other side of these sand dragon shrimp.
Then the two opened the large net, seeing this, Xue Zhaolong and the other two followed suit and did the same.
Even though the four of them hadn't trained together, their teamwork at this moment was undeniably perfect. Ye Hao and Lu Yunsong slowly swam over, pulling the net toward the sand lobsters, while Xue Zhaolong and Zhuorong Town were keeping pace.
To avoid startling the lobsters below, they swam quietly, gently paddling their feet. As they approached the first big lobster, Ye Hao slowly encased it in his net. Sure enough, the lobster seemed utterly unaware, letting Ye Hao catch it peacefully.
Xue Zhaolong and the others imitated Ye Hao, learning to coax the lobsters into their nets. Initially, everyone feared they might scare them away, but after successfully catching a few, they relaxed a bit.
Ye Hao conveyed with a grin to Qianqian, "See? You doubted I'd catch any, but look how many we've got!"
Qianqian sarcastically replied, "Why doesn't Master try catching them with his bare hands?"
Ye Hao chuckled mischievously, staying silent. He thought to himself, "I'm not stupid enough to use my hands and risk scaring them away!"
Seeing that Xue Zhaolong and the others had already netted dozens of lobsters, Ye Hao increased his pace. When they had caught a total of 145 large lobsters, Xue Zhaolong and Lu Yunsong connected their nets, and Ye Hao linked his net with Zhuorong Town's. Then, the four of them pulled out the prepared ropes and tied the nets together.
After finishing all this, Ye Hao took out a relatively long rope and tied it to the two large nets, and the four of them pulled the rope together.
As the four of them surfaced, they laughed heartily, looking at each other...
"Mr. Ye, how did you know there were lobsters down there?" Zhuorong Town asked, pulling off his goggles and wiping his face.
"An expert has his ways, hehe." Ye Hao replied with a grin. Even though he trusted the four of them now, he dared not reveal his high-tech secrets from outer space. After all, people's hearts are unpredictable; who knows if they'd betray him over it?
"Mr. Ye has a big secret, huh? But since you haven't told us, we won't ask. These lobsters alone will earn us a fortune—enough to make millions—so exciting! One sea trip and we earn so much!" Xue Zhaolong laughed joyfully.
"Boss, I trust you. Haha, with this batch of lobsters, we won't need to eat fast food for a month," Lu Yunsong exclaimed eagerly, thinking of the delicious food.
"Cut the nonsense, let's get these to the yacht's aft pool first. Besides, the seawater isn't that salty, so we can use the pool to keep the lobsters for now. We don't need to rush back. I'm sure more treasures are waiting on the seabed tonight," Ye Hao said with a smile, exciting the other three with the prospect of more loot.
With this in mind, the three put more effort into dragging the lobsters onto the yacht. But when they lifted the net, and the lobsters were out of the water, some struggled free—ending up losing a dozen. An annoyed Lu Yunsong shouted at Zhuorong Town for being careless, letting some lobsters escape with a few hops into the sea.
Knowing it was his fault, Zhuorong Town could only swallow his frustration.
Seeing this, Ye Hao laughed and said, "It's just a few lobsters. Song, later you continue sailing the yacht while we explore below for any treasures. Same old plan—stop when you see the SOS signal."
"Sure!" Lu Yunsong glared at Zhuorong Town before nodding to Ye Hao.
"Oh! I think I remember there are all kinds of spices on the yacht. Haha, it looks like tonight we won't have to eat dry rations. How about we directly use the electric grill on the yacht to roast the lobsters?" Xue Zhaolong exclaimed, licking his lips with excitement.
"Haha, sounds good, but let me make it clear—I won't be doing the lobster killing. But as for the grilling, leave it to me!" Ye Hao wasn't interested in the gruesome part of preparing lobsters, but he couldn't let others accuse him of being a lazy gourmet either, so he agreed to take on the grilling.
"You do it." Xue Zhaolong and Lu Yunsong pointed together at the usually quiet Zhuorong Town. What could Zhuorong Town say now? Ask Mr. Ye to do it? He didn't have the guts. Ask Xue Zhaolong? The others were united, why would anyone listen to him?
Helpless, Zhuorong Town could only nod in agreement.
Now it was only a little after one o'clock in the afternoon. Ye Hao thought about how big Houhai Bay was and decided that Lu Yunsong should circle the entire bay, from the inner loops to the outside. Even if circling took an hour, Qianqian could still monitor for another nine hours. When Qianqian discovered worthwhile spots, they could immediately head over, making it more straightforward and convenient.
With these thoughts, Ye Hao instructed Lu Yunsong accordingly...
