The entire ocean is my fishing ground.

Chapter 74 Delivery in 1 Hour? The Whole City Is Watching the Joke!

"Next target: Bluefin tuna belly, 90 nautical miles southeast, in active waters at depths of 50 to 100 meters."

"receive!"

Zhou Dazhuang responded and pushed hard on the control stick with both hands. The Poseidon changed direction, the engine roared louder, and it rushed at full speed toward the red dot on the heat map.

Sun Heizi watched with excitement. Those dark sea cucumbers might not have looked like much, but they were actually very valuable treasures.

Going to sea with Brother Chen, the speed at which you can make money is just too fast.

After sailing for more than an hour, just as the Poseidon was about to reach its target sea area, three fast-moving red dots suddenly flashed on the system map in Lin Chen's mind.

They formed an encirclement from three different directions, closing in on the Poseidon.

"Brother Chen, there's something on the radar!"

Zhou Dazhuang also noticed the anomaly and his expression tightened.

Lin Chen kept a close eye on the heat map.

"They're here."

He had long anticipated that Ghost Hand and his gang wouldn't give up easily.

The claim that it was sunk in international waters is nothing more than a way to scare laymen.

The idea of ​​sinking an armed salvage vessel like the Poseidon with a few speedboats is simply laughable.

The other party's goal can only be to buy time.

A few minutes later, three black, modified assault boats appeared on the horizon, with a Stinger emblem painted on their hulls.

They did not approach, but stopped about one kilometer away from the Poseidon. The men in black on the ship took out several metal balls from a box and threw them forcefully into the sea.

hum-

A piercing low-frequency hum came from underwater, and the sonar screen on the Poseidon's bridge was instantly covered by a jumble of static.

"Brother Chen, the sonar is being interfered with! Those sons of bitches!"

Zhou Dazhuang cursed, then lost his voice, becoming almost blind in this deep-sea area.

"As expected."

Lin Chen remained calm, stood up from the driver's seat, and walked to the bow deck.

Upon seeing this, the thugs on the three assault boats burst into laughter, assuming that Lin Chen had come out to surrender.

Lin Chen leaned against the ship's railing, even taking out a cigarette, lighting it, and giving the middle finger to someone in the distance.

"A little trick."

He turned back to the driver's seat and pressed a few buttons on an inconspicuous control panel.

That was the deep-sea infrasound repeller originally used to drive away the abyssal monster.

However, he only turned the power up to 30%.

"start up."

There was no loud noise, only a ripple, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, that swept across the sea surface within a two-kilometer radius, centered on the Poseidon.

The next second, a bizarre scene unfolded.

The arrogant smiles on the faces of the black-clad thugs on the three assault boats in the distance instantly froze, replaced by pain.

They looked as if they had been hit hard on the head by something, and they rolled around on the deck, screaming and clutching their heads. Some even banged their heads against the side of the ship in pain.

Even worse, blood seeped from the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Pfft!

Pfft!

In an attempt to escape the relentless torment of the sonic waves, the thugs frantically jumped into the sea, which ironically became their refuge.

The remaining people hurriedly jumped in as well, and the three assault boats were abandoned on the sea, becoming empty, unmanned vessels.

Sun Heizi and Zhou Dazhuang were stunned in the driver's seat.

"Holy crap... what kind of skill is that? Like hitting a cow from across a mountain?"

Sun Heizi's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg.

Lin Chen flicked his cigarette ash and said calmly, "Science."

He picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Dazhuang, drag those three wrecked boats back. We can sell the equipment on them for some money. Don't waste time, let's get back to work."

Zhou Dazhuang snapped out of his daze and roared excitedly.

"Okay!"

The Poseidon lowered its robotic arm and towed the three assault boats to the stern and secured them.

The whole process was quick, taking no more than ten minutes.

Having dealt with the flies, Lin Chen refocused his attention on catching them.

The bluefin tuna catch went smoothly. Guided by attractants and system coordinates, two bluefin tuna weighing over 300 kilograms were caught, quickly bled, and then placed in a dormancy solution at -60 degrees Celsius to maintain their activity.

Just as Lin Chen was preparing to head to the next location, on the system map, near the deep-sea volcano where he had previously caught two sea cucumbers, a previously dim spot suddenly lit up with a golden and red intertwined light.

[Special Opportunity: A mutated Blood Bird's Nest Fish appears, lasting for 28 minutes.]

[Note: This fish is a mutant nurtured by deep-sea geothermal energy. Its flesh has a texture resembling bird's nest and is used as a medicinal ingredient. The head of the Huo family urgently seeks this ingredient, as it can cure his chronic illness.]

Old Master Huo?

Lin Chen's heart stirred.

This was a truly unexpected bonus.

Compared to money, the Huo family's connections are the real treasure.

"Turn around and go back to the crater."

The Poseidon returned to that area, and the submersible, equipped with cameras, descended again.

At a depth of 600 meters, beside a reef, a strange fish no bigger than the palm of a hand is leisurely swimming.

Its entire body is crystal clear, shimmering under the spotlight, and you can even clearly see the white veins inside, like those in a bird's nest.

"pretty……"

Sun Heizi couldn't help but admire.

Lin Chen put on the neural connection helmet and personally controlled the robotic arm.

His movements were even gentler than when he caught sea cucumbers before.

The hydraulic clamp stopped half a meter away from the small fish, and a miniature water-catching net popped out from the front.

A gentle current of water flowed, gently enveloping the mutated blood bird's nest fish and placing it into a specially made ecological sample chamber.

"All done. Head back."

……

Four o'clock in the afternoon, at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel in the provincial capital.

There is only one hour left until the deadline of the betting agreement.

The outdoor cafe at the entrance was filled with small groups of people, most of whom were suppliers for major hotels and restaurants in the provincial capital.

They were ostensibly drinking coffee, but in reality, their eyes kept glancing towards the hotel entrance and the intersection, waiting to see Lin Chen make a fool of himself.

"It's already four o'clock, and we haven't seen a soul. I think that kid ran away."

A chubby man in a floral shirt took a sip of coffee, his tone full of anticipation for a good show.

"Absolutely. That order list—two black sea cucumbers, live bluefin ginseng…every single one of these needs to be ordered from overseas a month in advance. He thinks he can gather all that in five hours? Dream on!"

"I heard that although Manager Wang Biao has been arrested, several of his close associates are still in the purchasing department. They've already announced that if Lin Chen can't deliver the goods today, they'll immediately activate the backup plan. Although the quality will be a bit lower, at least it will ensure the banquet tonight."

"Tsk tsk, a 30 million penalty for breach of contract, this kid is going to lose his entire fortune this time."

Among the crowd, a skinny man who looked like a monkey was one of Wang Biao's confidants.

He listened to the surrounding chatter, a smug smile spreading across his face, and quietly sent a message to a certain number:

"Everything is normal. The fish hasn't arrived yet. Get ready to watch the show."
