The landscape is a customary valley beneath the surface of the water, bordered by towering mountains that stretch two to three hundred meters high, undulating for tens of kilometers.
A weathered and deteriorating large wooden boat lays in the center of the expansive valley, with one end partially submerged in the sand.
The depth of the water in this area exceeds one thousand meters, with a pitch-black seafloor that makes it impossible to see one's fingers. Amidst this dark environment, occasional flickers of light can be seen moving about - these are bioluminescent deep-sea fish.
Overlord had reached the vessel's vicinity, and instead of immediately entering, he swam around it. His exceptional perception allowed him to see everything within a hundred-meter radius, even in complete darkness, as if it were well-lit.
Despite its decrepit state, the wooden boat is relatively sizable and was likely considered a large-tonnage vessel hundreds of years ago. Its visual length is estimated to be around 40 to 50 meters.
"How to get in?"
As Bawang swam around the submerged ship, he pondered on a matter. In the past, when he was smaller, he could have easily swum into the sunken vessel. However, at his current size, even with his weight exceeding 600 kilograms, it would be difficult to navigate within the confines of the ship.
Liu Yong proposed,
"Considering this is a wooden shipwreck that has been submerged in the sea for many years, it's likely that it has decayed. Why not disassemble it and investigate what's inside?"
That's a good idea.
Dismantling the sunken ship should not be too challenging for the Overlord. Without hesitation, it uses its mouth and four claws in unison to begin the dismantling process.
Soon a big hole was demolished, and the shipwreck exposed its cargo warehouse. Overlord saw what was inside, and reported:
"Master, it's all wood, a very big piece of wood."
"What, it's all wood!"
"Wood has a purpose, but what I hope is gold and silver, at least a few antiques and the like."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLiu Yong said: "Continue to dismantle, give me a good check."
Bawang continued to work, and the efficiency was relatively fast. Not long after, another big hole was opened. The inside of the warehouse was still full of large thick wood without exception.
Besides being angry, Liu Yong was also a little disappointed. Originally, he had hoped that the sunken ship would pay a fortune, but unexpectedly, it was full of wood.
Liu Yong tried his best to calm himself down, and after gradually calming down, he wanted to know what kind of wood these were.
Then said:
"Bawang, get the smallest one, I want to see what kind of wood it is."
"Okay, master."
Bawang got the smallest and shortest piece of wood out of the boat. The smallest and shortest are relative. This piece of wood is also three or four meters long, with a diameter of at least two feet and a weight of hundreds of catties.
The inside of the boat is full of straight, very thick wood, which is generally thick enough to hug. The largest ones cannot be hugged by two people. The length is more than ten meters, and it is estimated to weigh several tons.
Liu Yong really couldn't understand how such a heavy and large piece of wood was loaded onto the ship. In addition, where did the ship go to transport so much wood? Logically speaking, there was no shortage of wood hundreds of years ago, even if it was It is also common for several people to embrace thick trees.
Unable to understand these things in his heart, Liu Yong wanted to figure out what kind of wood these were. Could it be that they were inlaid with gold? It took so much effort and such a large ship to transport them.
According to Liu Yong's request, Overlord chose the smallest and shortest piece of wood, grabbed this piece of wood, left the shipwreck, and headed for the sea.
It swam for more than an hour, and after getting close to the sea, it chose a place and put the wood there temporarily. It is also quite strange, wood usually floats, but this wood does not float, it sinks, and its density is heavier than that of seawater.
The next day .......
Early in the morning, Liu Yong rented a box truck, drove to the beach himself, and found a place where no one was around to communicate with Bawang.
"Bring that piece of wood over and let me have a look."
Liu Yong had been waiting nearby for a long time, and after a while, a huge monster crawled out of the sea. This is Bawang, which has grown to six or seven hundred kilograms.
It looks like a dragon in armor.
The carapace of the Overlord is already of considerable size, featuring three elevated ridges running longitudinally along its back. Its scutellum is brown, and its 13 scutes resemble rolling hills arranged in three rows both vertically and horizontally. The scutes' rough, jagged edges give the Overlord the appearance of an armored dinosaur.
Such a shape is domineering and mighty!
Liu Yong was satisfied for a while. To prevent being seen by others, Bawang put the log on the beach and then quickly re-entered the seawater and swam to the depths of the sea.
"Is this the smallest piece of wood?"
Liu Yong was taken aback by the size of the smallest wooden piece he received. He had not anticipated it to be so large. After his initial surprise, he began to worry about how heavy the wooden piece was. Weighing at least a few hundred catties, he wondered if one person could carry it to the car.
Ordinary people certainly don't have such great strength. Liu Yong shares the attributes of Overlord and may be able to move a large log weighing hundreds of catties.
With no one around, Liu Yong seized the opportunity to pick up the wooden piece and make his way toward the parked truck not far away.
As he walked, he thought to himself that it was not as difficult as he had anticipated. He realized that his strength was likely at least a thousand catties. He reflected that his previous concern about not being able to move the wood was unfounded and that he had been worrying needlessly.
Effortlessly put hundreds of kilograms of wood into the carriage. At this time, Liu Yong finally had a chance to take a good look.
Watched it carefully for at least ten minutes. To be honest, even after watching it for so long, Liu Yong still couldn't understand what kind of wood it was.
Liu Yong only knows that its texture is beautiful, relatively hard, and its specific gravity is relatively large. It will sink in water and will not float up at all.
"Let's take a few photos first, and ask a professional to take a look."
Liu Yong took out his mobile phone and took several photos before closing the door of the carriage and driving the car back to the underground garage of his villa.
Putting aside the matter of wood for the time being, Liu Yong was mainly busy with the establishment of the company and even took Hu Shijun to the talent market once, recruiting more than a dozen people.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo far, the company has more than a dozen people, but it is still far from enough. Liu Yong's hopeful candidate for the general manager is already in sight.
The headhunting company sent the information about the three people to Liu Yong's mobile phone. Liu Yong was sitting in his new office, really looking at the information of the three people.
There seems to be news on the mobile WeChat.
Liu Yong took a look and immediately smiled dumbly. It was Li Changle who sent it on his initiative,
"What are you busy with? You are very busy."
Since their last blind date, the two individuals have added each other as WeChat friends and occasionally engage in conversations on the platform. However, Liu Yong is often the one who initiates the conversations. As of late, he has been incredibly busy, which has led to a decline in the frequency of their chats.
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, she didn't take the initiative to find Li Changle, but unexpectedly, she took the initiative to send a message.
Liu Yong sent a message, busy thinking about you.
Li Changle sent these four words, and also sent a mischievous expression.
The two chatted on WeChat again.
After chatting for a while, Li Changle said: "I'm coming to Huahai City tomorrow."
Liu Yong said: "Okay, I'll pick you up at the station, high-speed rail or train.?"
"I take the high-speed rail, no need, it's very convenient for me to take a taxi."
Changle replied…..
"Let me pick you up. There are many people at the high-speed rail station, and it's not so convenient to take a taxi. Some drivers even rip off customers."
Liu Yong was a bit concerned about her safety.
"Okay then, I will arrive at Huahai High-speed Railway West Station at 5:10 tomorrow."
