After Lu Ziyu took Li Wu aside for a private chat, Chen Ziyan took advantage of this gap and began to think about the news brought by Ding Sitian.
The first two conditions are nothing. The second condition has its own solution. As long as he can restrain his greed, there will be no problem. As for the increase in the first condition, it is not a problem for Chen Ziyan.
He knew very well how much reserves there were in the underground snake mine, and the black-haired snake was a renewable resource, so even if there were so much more, it wouldn't be enough.
So what he was mainly thinking about was the third thing Ding Sitian said, which was about going out to sea to hunt for treasure.
Chen Ziyan knew very well what the key point of this matter was. In fact, this matter had nothing to do with them, the executors, and mainly related to Professor Chen.
The instigator of the matter, Feng Xuewu, knew that with his own ability, he could not retrieve the Guixu Mirror from the deep sea, so he turned his attention to Chen Ziyan and others who had been making waves in the circle during this period.
But he also knew that with his own ability, he simply couldn't invite Chen Ziyan and the others, and even if he could, he wouldn't do so, because he was no stranger to Xieling, and he didn't dare to guarantee that he would step in and finally be able to do so. Get what you want smoothly.
So Feng Xuewu set his sights on Professor Chen and wanted him to come forward to do something with Chen Ziyan and others.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of his plan, Feng Xuewu even changed his rhetoric to deceive Professor Chen.
The Gui Xu hexagram mirror cast by Hentian Ancient Kingdom for King Zhou Mu is said to be the more well-known Bone Mirror of King Qin.
As for why the name Qin Wang Bone Mirror was used, Chen Ziyan guessed that firstly it was to successfully attract Professor Chen's interest, and secondly, it was to make it easier to get the thing afterward.
After all, compared to the King of Qin's Bone Mirror, which has distinct features, the Guixu Divination Mirror cannot be described as having a low reputation. It will be easier for Feng Xuewu to get his hands on it when the time comes.
You must know that research value and humanistic value are two different things. If the former exists alone, he will have a chance to get it if he moves quickly enough. But if the latter is involved, he may not even be able to touch it at his level.
After briefly recalling the plot about the South China Sea, Chen Ziyan would be lying if he said he was not moved.
Not to mention the treasures at the bottom of the sea, the magical creatures in the sea that may be encountered during this trip are enough to attract Chen Ziyan.
You must know that neither he nor Xie Ling has been good at underwater operations for thousands of years. Now he has decided to change the track and plans to use animals instead of humans. If he can subdue some sea creatures, it will definitely be a great opportunity for Xie Ling. of reinforcement.
Chen Ziyan has not thought about the future. He knows that he and others cannot stay in the mainland forever.
It may be okay in the next ten to twenty years, but the general environment will not allow it after twenty years.
So instead of expanding your business then, it’s better to prepare for a rainy day now.
And when it comes to scalable business, what else is more worthy of betting than deep-sea treasure hunting?
It's just that Chen Ziyan is somewhat unsure about going to the South China Sea, because he is familiar with the plot and knows the purpose of the trip.
It's not just the inaccessible open sea, but the coral spiral sea area known as the 'Bermuda of the South China Sea'. It's not an exaggeration to say that it is dangerous and unusual, and this trip can be said to be a narrow escape.
From Chen Ziyan's point of view, in the original plot, the protagonist group's successful return was largely due to luck. If they had relied solely on their own abilities, they would probably have ended up trapped at the bottom of the sea.
Chen Ziyan is a very self-aware person. He knows very well that half of his abilities will be destroyed immediately when he gets into the water, and it is still unknown how much the remaining half can be used.
However, he is not without advantages. Knowing the plot is an unparalleled advantage, because Chen Ziyan knows what he will encounter on the way, so he can make targeted preparations in advance, which will undoubtedly greatly reduce the risk.
And just when Chen Ziyan was hesitating, the long-lost reminder sounded again in his ears.
【Ding! Choose to trigger! 】
[Choice 1: Is wealth in heaven? Man can conquer heaven! Head to the South China Sea and follow the waves. Reward: Ghost (ship)]
[Choice 2: A wise man will not fall into the nest. Hire professionals to travel to the South China Sea to hunt for coral spirals. Reward: Revealing Treasure Spirit Fish]
[Choice 3: Refuse temptation and protect yourself wisely. Find evidence and thwart Feng Xuewu's conspiracy from the source. Reward: Qimen Treasure Paper]
When Chen Ziyan received the system prompt, the first thing he felt was surprise. He had not been able to trigger the selection for a while. Although he never mentioned it, he always felt that something was missing in his heart.
But the triggering of Naihe's system is judged based on his experience, not his subjective will.
After receiving all the information given by the system this time, Chen Ziyan was really shocked.
Because this time even the simplest options have generous rewards.
At first, Chen Ziyan didn't understand what the Qimen Treasure Paper was, but based on the simple introduction given by the system and the information he knew, he immediately knew what it was.
If Qi Men Bao Zhi was unfamiliar to him, then Chen Ziyan was no stranger to the three paintings related to it.
"Condor Picture"
"Paper Wolf Fox"
"Tiger Descending the Mountain"
Although these three Qimen treasure paintings may have flaws, they are all genuine treasures. To put it bluntly, every one of them can be regarded as a family heirloom.
In order to make such Qimen treasure paintings, three things are indispensable. The first is the relevant skills for making treasure paintings, and the second is the Qimen treasure paper that is used as a reward, which is an essential carrier for making paintings. , and finally, the blood of rare birds and animals that comes with its own miraculous powers.
Among the three, the best thing to get is the blood of rare birds and animals. Even with Chen Ziyan's wealth, he can get two or three kinds together, and those large forces with deep foundations can undoubtedly get more.
The second is the Qimen treasure paper used as a carrier. This treasure paper seems to be less precious than the craftsmanship, but in fact it may not be so.
There is a saying that goes well: this moment, that moment.
You don't need to think about it to know that the materials used to make Qimenbao paintings are definitely not simple.
As far as Chen Ziyan knows, the most recent Qimen treasure paintings are quite old.
It’s hard to say how many materials for making treasured paper can still be found. Even if they can be found, I don’t know if they are too precious. These will affect the value of treasured paper.
And if one of the materials has become extinct, the value of the treasure paper will undoubtedly be higher.
And this is just the lowest value among the three rewards.
The second-ranked treasure-showing spirit fish is even more extraordinary. In the old days, the "Third Prince" Li Xiaobu of Tianjin Wei, who had double scales on his ribs and was the best swimmer in the water, was able to achieve such a big name. It was not only his proficiency in water skills that he had practiced since childhood, but also the fact that he accidentally swallowed Dou Zhanlong's treasure-showing spirit fish.
If Chen Ziyan can obtain such a treasure, then even if he cannot reach the top water level in one fell swoop and compete with the mandrills and water ghosts in the industry, underwater operations will definitely no longer be his shortcoming.
The most valuable of the three rewards this time is undoubtedly the ghost (ship) given in the first option.
Through the simple introduction given by the system, Chen Ziyan knew that this ghost was not a soul in the conventional sense, but the same type as the Western Zhou ghost tomb they encountered not long ago.
To put it in plain terms, this so-called ghost can be regarded as an extraordinary pseudo-artificial intelligence.
According to the information given by the system, if Chen Ziyan can get this reward, he only needs to find a suitable ship and he will immediately have an exclusive water fortress.
If the treasure-showing fish in the second reward can improve Chen Ziyan's underwater working ability, then the first reward is to improve his overall strength.
I have to say that this is very tempting for Chen Ziyan.
If there could be a safe and reliable exclusive water fortress, it would be extremely helpful to Chen Ziyan.
First of all, whether it is inland or oceanic, the waters are no longer difficult for Xiling to set foot in. Secondly, his own safety will be greatly improved. If he really needs to take refuge one day, I don’t believe that anyone can find a boat in the vast ocean. A mysterious ship.
Not to mention, if he could use such a ship, it would be much safer for him to go to the South China Sea.
It can be said that the only problem with this reward is to find a suitable ship.
After all, ghosts have no physical existence. If they cannot be attached to a physical object, they can only appear briefly, which is very embarrassing.
But this problem is not unsolvable. As long as you pay attention, you can always find a suitable carrier.
So after hesitating for a while, Chen Ziyan still couldn't give up such a generous reward, and decided to go to the South China Sea to try his best when things got better.
There was no way he could resist this temptation.
Anyway, the requirement of the mission is not to go deep into the coral spiral. At most, he can take people to the outer sea area for a circle. Shirley Yang has the Si Tianyu left by the Partridge Whistle. As long as he does not go deep into the deep sea, he wants to simply get rid of the chaos. Magnetic fields are not difficult.
Moreover, he can also take the opportunity of completing the second task to find some professionals to guide him in front.
Yes, Chen Ziyan, who has already tasted the benefits, plans to make multiple choices this time.
Perhaps it can be said that as long as there is no such conflicting option, he will try to complete it.
This was one of the reasons why he made up his mind. After all, the two rewards combined were enough to offset the risks he had to take.
As for the professionals used to explore the road, Chen Ziyan already has a target.
He thought that Jude Kao would be a good choice. This old foreigner had an ocean salvage company under his command, and this kind of thing fell within his business scope.
However, Chen Ziyan could not handle this matter himself, so he had to let Shirley Yang take the lead and let her reveal the news to Jude Kao through her own connections.
Judekao's men have good business skills, and they are all strange people he has recruited from many sources. At least the outer areas of the Coral Spiral are not difficult for them, and they are a good choice for exploring the way.
As for whether Jude would take the bait, Chen Ziyan never thought he would fail.
Just like Feng Xuewu understands Professor Chen and can get him to take the bait with a slight change of rhetoric, Chen Ziyan also knows Jude Kao very well and knows what bait to use to make him willing to do things for him.
Moreover, Chen Ziyan knew that from now on, he and Jude Kao would be enemies rather than friends. Now that there was an opportunity to weaken each other, he naturally could not miss it.
Just when Chen Ziyan was thinking about what he should do next, Lu Ziyu and Li Wu on the other side also ended their conversation, and the two walked back one after the other.
Seeing them coming back, Chen Ziyan put his thoughts aside temporarily, looked at them and asked:
"How was your chat? What are you two planning to do next?"
In fact, it goes without saying that from the moment Lu Ziyu proposed a private chat, Chen Ziyan already knew that Li Wu didn't need to worry about it anymore.
No matter what method he used to see through the disguise of Lu Ziyu and others, he no longer had much choice after being exposed.
Chen Ziyan also thought about this matter afterwards, and finally came to the conclusion that it was indeed outrageous that Li Wu could discover the disguise of Lu Ziyu and others.
He was not familiar with the staff at the camp, at most a few of them looked familiar, but he had paid attention to the reactions of other staff.
Chen Ziyan remembered clearly that when Li Wu pointed out Lu Ziyu and others, all the staff around them showed similar reactions, with doubts, surprise and other colors in their eyes.
They were obviously unprepared for this and could not understand it afterwards.
This means that what Li Wu said is correct. Lu Ziyu and the others did successfully sneak into the favor in a strange way without disguising themselves.
After hearing Chen Ziyan's inquiry, Li Wu pursed his lips twice, but in the end he remained silent.
Fortunately, Chen Ziyan didn't have any hopes for him, so he turned his attention to Lu Ziyu when he saw this.
Lu Ziyu didn't have those worries, but he didn't intend to reveal the inside story. When Chen Ziyan looked over, he just said:
"Little Chen, I hope you'll forgive me. There are some things that I can't say more about, but what I can guarantee is that there is no need to worry about Li Wu's safety."
This can be regarded as a promise he gave.
Although Lu Ziyu didn't know what the relationship between Chen Ziyan and Li Wu was, he had seen a lot of similar things and could guess some of them.
Taking the initiative to make a promise now is not only an explanation to Chen Ziyan, but also for the sake of Li Wu's heart.
There was no way around it. Chen Ziyan's situation was rather complicated. Lu Ziyu, who had just assisted Chen Yulou in his operation, knew that at least at this stage, Chen Ziyan had a good reputation in the management bureau.
If he didn't let go, it would be difficult for him to take Li Wu away.
Although Lu Ziyu didn't know what promise Chen Ziyan made to Li Wu, from what he knew about the situation, it was probably only in the two categories of safety and appeal, so he would take the initiative to make a promise.
"Mr. Li, what do you think?"
Chen Ziyan did not reply directly to Lu Ziyu, but looked at Li Wu.
Although he mentally agreed with this way of handling the matter, Li Wu was also a party involved, so it was unjustifiable not to ask for his opinion.
The corner of Li Wu's mouth twitched: "I will follow the organization's arrangements."
How could he see that?
And...the current development is not what he wants.
Neither Chen Ziyan nor Lu Ziyu noticed the glint in Li Wu's eyes the moment he lowered his head again. (End of chapter)
