Article 202 Objectives
Cheng Feng's suspicions are quite reasonable; this Coral Spiral area can be considered the Bermuda Triangle of the South China Sea.
Countless people who made a living at sea have given their lives to demonstrate the dangers of this place.
Therefore, later ships would avoid this area.
"The ship's original route did not pass through that area; an unexpected event forced it to enter that sea area."
Although Professor Chen didn't explain, Cheng Feng could guess.
Someone must have been thinking of getting a free purchase and made a move against that ship at sea.
"Professor Chen, I need time to consider this matter. After all, it's the ocean, and even I wouldn't dare say I could escape unscathed."
Cheng Feng kept this in mind and planned to make a decision after returning from the United States.
Professor Chen nodded in understanding and said:
"Of course, I just feel it's a pity that our country's treasures are being held abroad."
Actually, it's fine as long as it's still in our country.
After speaking, Professor Chen gave Cheng Feng a meaningful look.
Cheng Feng smiled knowingly and nodded to indicate that he understood.
The group then moved on from that topic, and Professor Chen began asking Cheng Feng about his experiences during the trip to the Demon Kingdom.
As a history researcher, he couldn't help but be curious about this ancient civilization.
Yang Xueli chatted with the group for a while before getting up and leaving.
She set up a grill in the yard, planning to have American-style barbecue with everyone at noon.
Moreover, the meat prepared is all high-quality Wagyu beef.
When Hu Bayi, Fatty Wang, and Hei Xiazi came downstairs, the outside had already been almost completely set up.
At Yang Xueli's invitation, everyone went to the lawn in the yard.
Here sits a pristine white dining table, upon which are laid out fruits and vegetables.
Not far from the dining table was a grill, and next to it was a small table with tomahawk steaks and lamb chops.
Finally, Susan and Shirley Yang personally grilled the meat for everyone.
The fat guy originally wanted to show off his skills; it's said he learned how to grill lamb skewers from Lao Hu and his friends from Xinjiang.
However, Yang Xueli refused, saying that she hadn't prepared cumin and chili powder.
Everyone enjoyed the barbecue feast quite a bit. Yang Xueli considered that some people might not be used to very raw meat.
So they were all baked to medium-rare (70% cooked) to prevent them from bleeding when cut open.
The group chatted and laughed as they ate the tender snowflake beef.
Surprisingly, Hei Xiazi got along well with Professor Chen; having lived a long time, he possessed extensive historical knowledge.
It even cleared up some of Professor Chen's doubts.
Yang Xueli prepared wine, although it was expensive, it was just so-so to drink.
In the end, they only opened one bottle, and didn't even finish it.
After finishing the feast, everyone cleaned up the leftovers and returned to the living room to drink tea and chat.
During the conversation, Cheng Feng inadvertently steered the topic to how many Chinese treasures these American museums actually house.
This topic immediately piqued the interest of the two professors, who began to recount each and every one of their points.
For example, the Yuan Dynasty mural "Medicine Buddha Assembly" is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This mural covers an area of 196 square meters.
Other artifacts include a painting of a Northern Wei emperor worshipping Buddha, a bronze vessel with kui and cicada patterns from the Western Zhou dynasty, and a bronze bell from the Qin dynasty.
According to Professor Chen, more than 20 cultural relics of various sizes have ended up in the United States.
Moreover, while these people are talking, there may be several to dozens of cultural relics being transported out of the country.
The purpose of this trip was already planned before the trip was even started in China.
One is the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and the other is the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas.
Americans aren't stupid; at most twice, they'll choose to hide the treasure.
Therefore, when making a decision, you must choose the most important one.
That evening, everyone went to their rooms to rest early due to jet lag.
Cheng Feng naturally ended up living with Yang Xueli.
The two, reunited after a short separation, held their second seminar on the origins of humankind.
Compared to their awkwardness in the first match, both sides were much better prepared this time.
Cheng Feng, as the initiator, gained the upper hand.
Yang Xueli listened silently for a long time, and was eventually moved to tears.
This time, Yang Xueli broke her silence and began a passionate speech, successfully suppressing Cheng Feng.
Even when he got tired of talking, he didn't forget to bend down and drink some imported mineral water.
The seminar officially concluded after more than an hour.
Both sides gained and lost in this meeting; Cheng Feng made some sacrifices, while Yang Xueli gained some.
Cheng Feng said after the meeting that this was what he should do as a man.
After cleaning the venue, at Yang Xueli's invitation, the two decided to go to the bathroom instead.
Whether or not a meeting will be held depends on the situation.
The two eventually had another short meeting, after which Yang Xueli was completely exhausted.
Finally, Cheng Feng carried her back to bed.
"Old Cheng, what are your plans regarding Professor Chen's request?"
Leaning on Cheng Feng's shoulder, Yang Xueli asked in a languid tone.
Cheng Feng clicked his tongue, thinking how nice it would be to have a cigarette right now. Hearing Yang Xueli's question, he casually replied:
"I might go there when I get back. With that mirror, we won't need CT scans for fractures anymore."
Is that mirror worth the risk?
Yang Xueli didn't want Cheng Feng to go to the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror.
Just as Cheng Feng said, he could be as reckless as he wanted on land, but this was the ocean.
His swimming skills are far less formidable than they are on land.
"Don't worry, I don't do things I'm not sure I can do."
At this point, Cheng Feng opened the system's task interface.
The quest about Wang Zanghai's tomb has been hanging there for a long time.
'1. Eliminate the sea monkeys (incomplete)'
139/10
Reward: Six Arts of the Water Demon
2. Eliminate the Forbidden Woman | (Incomplete)
3/1
Reward: 3 Youth-Preserving Pills
Cheng Feng had originally planned to visit the Xisha Islands again soon, and now it seems the timing is just right.
First, go to the underwater tomb to finish the remaining tasks and obtain the most important Six Arts of the Water Demon.
With such underwater superpowers, Cheng Feng's fighting ability will not be weakened even in the ocean.
After all, creating imaginary space on the seabed is too risky; it could cause a large-scale disappearance of seawater.
It would likely cause massive, towering waves instantly; finding a shipwreck in waves hundreds of meters high would be impossible.
It's good enough if I can keep my own life.
"Sigh, if you really insist on going, I'll go back and help you. It's very difficult to buy top-notch diving and salvage equipment in China."
Yang Xueli supported Cheng Feng's decision, and she understood that it was difficult for others to dissuade Cheng Feng from making a decision.
Exhausted, Yang Xueli fell asleep without realizing it.
Cheng Feng adjusted his position to prevent Yang Xueli from having a sore neck after waking up, and then held her as she fell asleep.
the next day,
Just like in the country, Cheng Feng got up at six o'clock and went outside for some exercise.
Not long after, Black Bear came out of the house, fully dressed.
He sat down at the table and chairs on the lawn, holding a cup of coffee he had made himself using his coffee machine.
After a while, Cheng Feng sat down opposite him.
"Blind man, you should start preparing for our plan in advance."
Hei Xiazi took a sip of coffee, then smiled and made an OK sign.
