Three days had passed quickly. During this time, Luo Feng had not only transported his treasures back to the museum but had also resolved the matter concerning the oil. Yes, he had funded the excavation, and then generously split the profits fifty-fifty with the government.
This outcome was more than satisfactory. It was simply unrealistic for anyone discovering underground minerals to keep them all; otherwise, the government would become impoverished , and many capitalists would grow excessively rich. However, with someone like Luo Feng, the authorities were comfortable with him becoming wealthier.
Why? Because everything Luo Feng did was reliable.
That morning, Luo Feng had taken Li Shishi for morning exercises. After breakfast, they resumed sailing.
“Damn, host, you’re finally streaming today!” someone exclaimed online.
“Three days have gone by! Do you know how I’ve been coping?” another chimed in.
“Yeah, it’s so annoying. Was there really a need to stop for three whole days?”
“I’ve been waiting to watch the live stream, but there’s been no movement for three days!”
“Old Luo must have gone off in style!” someone speculated.
“What’s there to show off about at sea?” another wondered aloud.
“Can’t he go ashore? It’s not far, right?”
“Hahaha, if you follow this path, you’ll reach Guang… There’s a famous place there. I bet the host went there to enjoy himself!”
“That’s right; with so much money, he has to at least meet with all the top 10 specialists, right?”
“I have a feeling something happened these days. Usually, Old Luo explains if he stops a live stream midway. There has to be an explanation!”
“You’re right. Maybe he went somewhere, found treasure, and then rested for a few days. That’s normal. But suddenly stopping the live stream midway, there must be a reason!”
Hearing this, Luo Feng chuckled and said, “You guys are smart; you guessed right. There’s indeed something to say. But it’s not a big deal. I just discovered an oilfield!”
“Damn, Old Luo, what are you saying? You found an oilfield?”
“Really? Where did you find it? Why didn’t we see it?”
“Is this true or false? You’re supposed to be a treasure hunter; how did you get involved in the oil business?”
Everyone was stunned at the moment. “You actually found this? When did you find it? On this ship? Wasn’t it always sailing? Did only Luo Feng see it, and we didn’t?”
Luo Feng explained, “Remember when I salvaged two fishing boats from the sea? Bubbles of oil started bubbling up from the bottom. That’s when I realized there might be oil. You remember that, don’t you?”
“Oh damn, I remember!”
“Yes, I have an impression too!”
“It’s a pity that Luo Feng saw this and thought of oil, while we saw it and thought it was just a spectacle!”
“That’s why he’s rich, and it makes sense! ” someone marveled.
Luo Feng smiled, “Merely seeing bubbles is not enough. Sometimes underwater volcanoes can create a similar effect. But those bubbles kept coming up and slowly formed an oil film on the surface. That’s when I knew there must be oil beneath!”
“I spent the last two days contacting professionals to verify it. Indeed, there’s a significant amount of oil down there!”
Now that Luo Feng had arranged everything regarding the oil, he was confident to speak about it. Who was going to take it from him now? It already belonged to Luo Feng.
“Damn, how could you find something like that?” “You’re too good; I’m turning purple with envy!” “So when are you planning to start extracting the oil?” “This is worth much more than the last mine!”
“The host is surely going to be the richest man in the country now!”
Luo Feng replied, “It’s too early to talk about extracting the oil. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. It will take at least half a year to determine the scale of the oil beneath!”
News of Luo Feng’s discovery of oil in the bay spread like wildfire on the internet. Society was abuzz with shock and admiration.
“Good heavens, this Old Luo is still so fierce at sea?”
“Gave up ancient tombs for treasure hunting? Now he’s in the open sea?” “The man is awesome. No matter where he is, he can show his talents!”
“The key is that he found it. He’s only been out for half a month, and it’s either sunken ship treasures or an oilfield. I’m so envious!”
“This guy is too abnormal. I suspect he’ll find all the treasures in the world.” “The host’s luck is truly against the heavens. I’m thoroughly impressed.”
Not only were the netizens envious, but even the people at Odyssey Company were stunned by the news. They had been envious of all the wooden treasure chests filled with gold, silver, and jewels. Now, the discovery of an oilfield was even more unbelievable. They seriously wondered if they had missed some detail. If they hadn’t, perhaps the treasures at that location should have been discovered by the Odyssey Company instead..
