After ending his call with Mr. Wu, Luo Feng instructed his crew to rest for a few days, emphasizing that they were not in a rush to set sail.
Even if they wished to go ashore, they were only sixty or seventy nautical miles from the coast, and a small boat could easily take them there.
The crew accepted this without question. After all, they had salvaged many valuable treasures and naturally needed time to properly handle them.
Indeed, Luo Feng was busy arranging transportation to send these treasures back home.
All of this required time, but time was precisely what Luo Feng had in abundance. He had to wait for a professional team to arrive and assess the oil.
That night, Mr. Wu called to inform him that he had invited some experts from the oil department. They would set off that night and arrive the following day.
However, the next day, Luo Feng was notified to temporarily suspend his live stream.
Although the platform regretted the interruption — as losing a day’s stream meant significant losses — no one dared to complain when Luo Feng decided not to broadcast.
At this point, Luo Feng’s status on the streaming platform was unrivaled. He was a virtual king or deity.
Many popular streamers, especially attractive female ones with tens of millions of fans, often visited Luo Feng’s live room to send gifts and accolades. They would often say, “Master Luo, you are forever a legend.”
Of course, Luo Feng recognized that these beautiful female streamers might have ulterior motives, perhaps hoping for his endorsement to bolster their fame.
But if he chose to do so, it would be a win-win situation. After all, who wouldn’t want a personality like Luo Feng to boost their popularity?
Luo Feng’s confidence extended to any streamer or celebrity; he knew they would come to him at a moment’s notice if he so wished.
In the past, Luo Feng might have fantasized about mingling with various celebrities, but now he had no such interest.
After all, he understood that beauties were everywhere, and celebrities were not necessarily extraordinary.
Yet, it had to be said that many celebrities, especially Korean girl groups, had a knack for charming people.
“Hello, Mr. Luo, my major is in petroleum. Could you please take us to see the oil site?”
Finally, at noon, the representatives from the Oil Industry Department arrived.
The leading person, after boarding the ship, greeted Luo Feng.
Luo Feng naturally went forward to welcome them, accompanied by Li Shishi and Lin Yueting. He said, “Hello, I am Luo Feng. It’s a pleasure to meet you. Regarding the specifics, we observed a large number of bubbles and oil films on the sea surface yesterday. I suspect it’s an oil and gas outflow. Comrade Lin Yueting—yes, her—collected seawater yesterday, preserved the gas using the drainage method, and confirmed that the gas is indeed oil and gas, though we are uncertain whether it’s natural gas or petroleum!”
He had wanted to call her “Beautiful Lin,” but considering the seriousness of the situation, Luo Feng quickly changed his words.
Apart from calling her “Beautiful Lin,” Luo Feng also affectionately referred to her as Yueting or “Little Lin” in private.
She didn’t mind, and now Lin Yueting even called Luo Feng “Old Luo.”
Although he wasn’t old, the nickname “Old Luo” was affectionately given by his live stream audience.
“Oh, is that so? Then it’s very likely that both natural gas and petroleum resources are present!” Li Jun exclaimed excitedly.
“Right, I am from the Academy of Sciences, specializing in research on marine diversity!” Lin Yueting added.
When Li Jun learned of her affiliation with the Academy of Sciences, he trusted their words even more and became extremely enthusiastic about the oil discovery.
“Level 50 scan, activate!” Luo Feng commanded, using some of his Reputation Points to determine the extent of the oil field.
Around ten minutes later, the scan was complete. Treasure markers stretched out from the sea, covering an area of more than thirty kilometers, extending towards Shantou.
This was exciting news. It meant they didn’t need to drill from the sea; they could directly drill on land, as the oil field extended from the sea to the shore.
However, the large area didn’t guarantee that the depth of the oil was uniform.
The oil and gas outflows here were obviously close to the surface. Even though they would need to build oil wells, once erected, the subsequent drilling work would be much more convenient than in other locations.
“There is oil beneath us!” Li Jun announced an hour later, his face beaming with excitement.
“How much is there?” Luo Feng asked, knowing the field was expansive but unsure of the exact volume.
“We don’t know yet; we need to call in the geological survey team to collect data!” Li Jun replied.
“Mr. Luo, I came here to discuss some issues with you, mainly concerning extraction,” he added, showing Luo Feng much more respect now that the presence of oil was confirmed, and politely seeking his advice..
