Supreme Man

Chapter 99: Treasure Hunting


"Boss, why is this?" After a long time, Tan Ming looked at Ye Hao with a perplexed face and asked with difficulty...

Xue Zhaolong and the other two suppressed their laughter as they watched Tan Ming's awkwardness, thinking that Mr. Ye is surrounded by two school beauties; one is the daughter of Lin Tian, who is ranked in the top ten of the Forbes Rich List, and the other is the daughter of Su Jinyuan, the top leader of Nanyue Province. Neither of these women can be compared to anyone from the Tan Family, so how could Mr. Ye prefer something far inferior? Isn't this self-torture?

"No why, not interested in women..." Ye Hao finished saying this and upon seeing the mischievous looks of the three, corrected himself: "It's not that I'm not interested in women, I'm just not interested in your sister. We've talked for a long time already, it's time for you to leave since we're going to hunt for treasures." Ye Hao issued instructions for Tan Ming to leave, as there were some things better kept from someone he's not familiar with.

"Huh? Boss, are you driving the little brother-in-law away?" Lu Yunsong tried to persuade slightly, but when he saw Ye Hao's expression, he quickly asked: "Little brother-in-law, give me your phone number, brother-in-law will visit and hang out with you when he has time."

"Get lost, my sister doesn't like fat guys." Tan Ming glared at Lu Yunsong directly.

This made Xue Zhaolong and Zhuorong Town burst out laughing, Zhuorong Town said with a wicked smile: "Exactly, just look at your figure, Miss Tan's slim frame isn't even half your size," then Zhuorong Town turned to Tan Ming and said: "Little brother-in-law, give me your sister's phone number and I'll treat you to drinks sometime."

As Zhuorong Town was about to smugly look at Lu Yunsong, Tan Ming replied even more dismissively: "You wearing high heels still aren't taller than my sister, isn't this nonsense?! Get out of here."

Tan Ming's words made Zhuorong Town instantly howl in agony with serious damage...

Left with Xue Zhaolong who proudly said: "Two losers eliminated, only I am left, little brother-in-law, what do you say? Give me your sister's phone number, brother-in-law?" Xue Zhaolong said while deliberately flexing his chest muscles.

Tan Ming nodded, commenting: "This one is relatively normal, but the flamboyant aura is too strong, my sister couldn't possibly like you, so all are eliminated, but I think my sister and the boss make a good match..." Tan Ming's words made the three of them feel instantly like he deserved a beating.

Damn, everyone who wants to date your sister falls short, but those who don't find it natural to pass, isn't this a slap in the face?

"Boss, I'll leave my number for you, call me if anything good comes up, I'll come to your school and find you, I won't interrupt your treasure hunt now." Tan Ming knew he couldn't join Ye Hao's circle yet, so he didn't linger and planned to leave first, slowly integrating into Ye Hao's circle in the future.

"Alright!" Ye Hao nodded and took the card handed by Tan Ming, who casually left on a yacht while Ye Hao was putting away the card, as for those who were beaten, they were beaten for nothing.

On the card was a single word—Rong, followed by a string of numbers; seeing this, the three of them pounced on it like wolves, instantly tearing the card into four pieces.

"Come on, you bunch of bastards, do you want treasure or not? If you want the beauty, I'll give you the card, I'll go treasure hunting myself." Ye Hao glared at them, while they smiled awkwardly. Finally, Lu Yunsong said embarrassedly: "Boss, if you don't want Tan Rong, why not give me that piece of paper?"

Four pieces of paper have now been divided into four parts, they relentlessly eyed the piece of paper in Ye Hao's hand...

"Alright, alright, here you go." Ye Hao reluctantly handed it to them, and only when they pieced it together were they excitedly putting on swimwear.

"Boss, what treasure are we getting now?" Xue Zhaolong, now dressed, asked.

"Luminous Pearl, Tang Sancai, Ice Marrow, loads of good stuff, first tie the yacht to the boat, Song, you drive the boat, as usual." Ye Hao casually listed some treasure names and then led Zhuorong Town and Xue Zhaolong into the sea.

Lu Yunsong navigated each point in the direction Ye Hao had previously indicated, and Zhuorong Town and Xue Zhaolong were astounded underwater, since whenever Ye Hao reached the seabed, he'd quickly locate a Luminous Pearl. These pearls ranged from the size of a fist to larger than a head, making them shout silently to the heavens.

Those as big as a human head could sell for millions! However, Ye Hao didn't plan to sell that head-sized Luminous Pearl because he felt the Spiritual Qi in it was exceedingly dense, unparalleled by ordinary Luminous Pearls.

They had been diving for more than half an hour and had collected over twenty Luminous Pearls. When they surfaced, Xue Zhaolong couldn't contain himself and shouted, "Boss, you're a god! How did you know the Luminous Pearls were there?"

"Yeah! It's amazing. You can even find them buried under sea mud. Incredible!" Zhuorong Town said excitedly as he looked at Ye Hao.

"This is just the beginning. Don't rush. I plan to collect all hundred plus Luminous Pearls and then we'll split them evenly. But remember, if you absorb one, you can't absorb another for a short period of time, so is it alright if I keep them safe for now? Of course, if you want to sell them, feel free to take them back." Ye Hao said with a smile. When he touched the Luminous Pearls, he felt a surge of Spiritual Qi that made his Inner Breath tremble.

"Hehe, we're comfortable with you holding onto them, Boss," Xue Zhaolong laughed, not worried that Ye Hao would cheat them, because even if Ye Hao didn't share, they'd feel no resentment. This was all Ye Hao's effort, after all, and they were only playing in the sea.

"Alright, let's dive for the big treasure first, or the Spiritual Power of the Luminous Pearls will dissipate."

Then Ye Hao shouted loudly to Lu Yunsong on the boat, "Song, throw down the ropes from the boat, and when I signal for help, pull the ropes with all your might."

Lu Yunsong nodded and shouted back, "Okay," then threw down several hundred pounds of ropes from the boat.

"Move forward five hundred meters, then stop," Ye Hao instructed Lu Yunsong and he, along with Xue Zhaolong, dived down again.

At this moment, Ye Hao's heart was brimming with excitement, thinking that if he obtained the Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow, his skills would definitely skyrocket. National Martial Arts level five would no longer be a dream, maybe he could even reach level seven…

The boat above quickly pulled them closer to the Ice Marrow area. When they reached this region, their bodies trembled slightly because the seawater here seemed somewhat different; a bit colder, yet a bit warmer. This alternating sensation of cold and warm puzzled Ye Hao as he asked Qianqian, "Qianqian, why is the seawater here both cold and warm? It's subtle, but I can still feel it."

"Master... it's like this: because the Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow was very high-temperature hot water in ancient times. Of course, the high temperature I'm talking about is not the one hundred degrees you mention on Earth today. Back then, the high temperature could reach tens of thousands of degrees. Over a long period of wind and rain, it crystallized into Hot Crystal. Hot Crystal is formed when extremely high-temperature water becomes Crystal Stone, and while it doesn't have a high temperature of tens of thousands of degrees, it maintains a warm feeling. Then, when natural forces send it to the sea bottom, over thousands of years, it cools, forming water, then ice, hard ice, soft ice, Ice Paste, and finally Ice Marrow." At this moment, Qianqian was even more excited than before because she had already sensed that this wasn't ordinary Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow.

It was the Hot and Cold Ice Marrow that even they in the Laser Star System couldn't find!

"Huh? Why didn't you say before that when it gets extremely hot, it can form Hot Crystal?" Ye Hao asked Qianqian in puzzlement.

"Because before, I only sensed Ice Marrow, not knowing it was Hot and Cold Ice Marrow." Qianqian continued her excited conversation with Ye Hao, which made him puzzled again—could this system really have an independent soul?

"Which is better between Hot and Cold Ice Marrow and Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow?" Ye Hao asked foolishly.

"Master, for such nonsense, the system can choose not to answer, but I'll forgive you since it's your first time not knowing, so I'll explain the difference between the two: Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow is ancient high-temperature water, transformed over long ages, meandering through mountain streams, finally becoming cold water, then ice blocks, hard ice, soft ice, Ice Paste, and ultimately Ice Marrow. You could say it's like what many of your Earth novels talk about as an 'ice bed.' But Hot and Cold Ice Marrow is different, even if the Laser Star System's millions of years of civilization can't fully dissect its formation. You only have a rough idea. The key point is that extremely hot water crystallized into Hot Crystal, then changed into Ice Marrow. The eighth system mentioned that if anyone with ailments or pain sits on it paired with the body's cultivated electrotherapy, all diseases are cured. A man's body can achieve ultimate masculinity, while a woman's can reach utmost femininity. Consuming Hot and Cold Ice Marrow can slow skin aging, harmonize the body, and promote metabolism…" Qianqian rambled on excitedly, while Lu Yunsong sailed the boat to the location, leaving Ye Hao stunned.

Because what Qianqian described was too astounding—at least he hadn't heard of such a thing existing in the world. Earlier, the Ten Thousand Years Ice Marrow had excited him for a while, and now this Hot and Cold Ice Marrow was even more impressive. How could Ye Hao not be thrilled?

Ye Hao felt a tug on his hand, turned to see Xue Zhaolong and Zhuorong Town looking at him with concern. His heart warmed—these brothers, hehe...

Ye Hao smiled and nodded, then led the two of them further down. As they dove deeper, the ocean seemed even more comfortable, neither cold nor warm, as though made just for them.

But just as they were about to take action, they sensed a Fragrance coming from not far ahead, a Fragrance that instantly made their lower bodies swell...
