As dusk fell on the southern bank of the Luo River, a luxury yacht sailed into view. Crowded with people, this boat carried the children of wealthy families, all driven by the allure of the Sea Stabilizing Needle. It was a legendary artifact that everyone yearned to witness in person. As for treasure hunting, if Luo Feng claimed second place, none dared to assert they were first.
“The water here is far from ideal,” a viewer complained.
“Of course not! This is the Luo River, a tributary of the Yellow River. It’s bound to be muddy!”
“With this murky water, how are we supposed to find anything? We can’t even see what’s beneath the surface!”
“Isn’t the host a cheater? Just scanning with cheats would make things easier!” Upon reading this message, Luo Feng could not help but feel a shudder of unease.
What was going on? Was this netizen some sort of prophet? Luo Feng shrugged off the thought and began his search along the river.
“Initiate level three scan,” he commanded.
Luo Feng preferred not to use a broad range scan initially, as it would squander Reputation Points. Until the location was confirmed, conserving reputation points was crucial. A previous experience at Cao Cao’s tomb had taught him that a wide scan could drain all of his reputation points – an unfavorable situation indeed.
“Luo Feng, with the water this cloudy, can we really find anything?” asked Qin Rubing, standing beside him.
“Don’t worry, Rubing. Our boat is equipped with sonar and radar. If there are any large objects, we’ll surely detect them,” Luo Feng replied confidently.
The scan revealed over a dozen treasure-marked points. Luo Feng furrowed his brow, knowing it would be a tall order to find any substantial clues under such conditions. Yet, no potential clue could be disregarded.
With that, Luo Feng dove in. A remote-controlled submarine, equipped with a high-definition camera, trailed behind him. It relayed clear images to the audience despite the turbid water, creating a scene akin to a crocodile swimming in the Yellow River.
“Is that a ring?”
“Another piece of jewelry?”
“Unquestionably. There’s plenty of discarded stuff in this river!”
After retrieving a piece of jewelry, Luo Feng dove again, only to surface with another piece of jewelry. The repetitiveness started to drain the audience’s enthusiasm.
“Why is it always jewelry when you dive, host?”
“Even a shard of blue and white porcelain, or a tile from the Ming Dynasty would be better!”
“I agree, these pieces of jewelry hold no value.”
“In the context of today’s live stream, even real blue and white porcelain, worth billions, would seem insignificant!”
“Since when did a few billion become worthless?”
Amid the bickering, Luo Feng understood the restlessness of his audience. They yearned to see the Sea Stabilizing Needle, knowing that each antique found could potentially lead them closer to it. Without antiques, modern jewelry alone offered no substantial clues.
“Dear audience, there’s a serene stretch of water ahead, potentially hiding treasures,” Luo Feng announced, after dredging up several jewelry-marked points.
“Head over there!” He ordered, directing the yacht towards the promising spot.
Upon reaching, the scan indicated numerous treasure-marked points. When brought up, however, they turned out to be mere jewelry, discarded and affected by the water’s current.
“Dear host, where are the promised grand treasures? Why are we only finding trinkets?”
“We’re still empty-handed!”
“At least bring up some artifacts from the Xia Dynasty; those could possibly offer a clue!”
“Well, aren’t you all experienced? Finding antiques in water means finding clues, right?”
“That’s right! The last time the host found a stone tiger from the Song Dynasty, and it opened up a wealth of clues.”
The audience’s words rang true. Hunting for treasure, Luo Feng knew that unearthing artifacts would likely yield clues. Once the general location was ascertained, artifacts would significantly raise the chance of discovering clues. However, it also required quick wit, for even if clues lie right before one’s eyes, without the sharpness of mind, they would remain undiscovered..
