Chapter 837 Bringing Back a Sunken Ship
Chapter 837 Bringing Back a Sunken Ship
"No way, are you guys serious?!" Lu Xi had just returned and hadn't even warmed the sofa when she received a video call from the system.
I almost spilled my tea while listening to the casual words on the other end of the line.
When the person on the other end of the screen heard Lu Xi's somewhat disbelieving words, the camera immediately began to descend, showing a patch of seabed mud and sand, where a deep pit could be seen.
At the same time, the system's lazy voice came through, "We don't make empty promises. Da Cang has already moved this shipwreck; it's now lying in a blind spot in the South China Sea surveying—"
He paused for a moment, then said, "I've already communicated with the higher-ups, and perhaps in a few days the news will report 'A major archaeological discovery has been made in our country's waters.'"
However, this person is really useless; he only managed to move two mountains and fill the sea before he became exhausted.
Cang Wuyai's voice, tinged with coldness, drifted over: "Why don't you try moving that ship yourself? Not only are there layers of reefs and silt all around, but you also have to fake the surrounding environment—" His words were cut off by a soft cough. "Hmph."
Do you really think everyone is like that dragon? With just two light, floating claws, it dug two deep trenches in the sea.
The air was still for two seconds, then the system expressed its surprise in a completely calm voice.
"Oops, I accidentally blurted out what was on my mind. Sorry."
It wasn't intentional, it was deliberate. Who told this guy to say he was short?
Seeing that the conflict that was about to escalate was quickly extinguished with a light cough, Lu Xi hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Ahem... well, you guys are really efficient, impressive."
After being slapped by Long Ruilin, the system quieted down and turned the camera on itself.
"It's nothing. How's the gift I brought you? Do you like it?"
Lu Xi looked down at the gemstone-encrusted cross pendant in her hand. The warm light shone on it, reflecting a blood-red luster on the ruby in the center.
She opened her mouth, but only managed to utter, "Ah, this... is very good, I like it very much, I like it super, super much."
In terms of color, feel, and cleanliness, this thing doesn't look like a newly unearthed... well, no, a cultural relic from the sea.
The system wasn't too satisfied with her attitude, and its delicate face puffed up. It wasn't until Lu Xi's sincere expression and praise that it finally withdrew its expression.
He continued, "We also found another shipwreck of similar age, but with little archaeological value, and put it together with it. In the future, our group of experts will definitely be convinced that it is a merchant ship that was wrecked on its return voyage."
"Wow," Lu Xi clapped her hands genuinely this time, "Amazing, amazing! This service is truly top-notch, I would definitely give you a five-star rating."
She weighed the heavy cross in her hand, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that this gift was truly beautiful.
Compared to the blatant looting of cultural relics by some countries, at least our own people have first registered the upcoming "archaeological discovery" as a legitimate "archaeological discovery" for our treasures.
Since it's all from international waters anyway, whoever finds it first gets to keep it. They're giving those ancient things a second spring in this world.
Lu Xi gazed at the shimmering blue light on the screen, her fingertips unconsciously tapping lightly on the table. They really had a great day, traveling to the other side of the world.
For those who have watched the "Ocean World" documentary since childhood, it feels like a dolphin is hitting their heart right now.
How about we arrange an indoor activity for the young master tomorrow? I can go for a stroll in the sea with Ah Li and the others.
