Chapter 408: Again Obtaining Ambergris

Lao Fu Tou came over to look, took out a scale and weighed it, saying: "69 grams."

"I suspect these sea turtles bit off the ambergris from somewhere in the sea."

"If we can find it, that would really be a fortune."

Mei Wu was stunned.

It's already unbelievable that Hu Zi showed up as promised, and this sea turtle keeps bringing ambergris one after another.

This is an extremely rare sea treasure.

Ordinary fishermen, if they're unlucky, might never see one in their lifetime.

For example, Lao Fu Tou.

Although he knows about ambergris, he's actually only seen it when someone netted it, and even then only briefly.

One can imagine how rare ambergris is.

Wu An already has three pieces in his hand.

How did you get it?

The sea turtle brought it!

If he said these things out loud, probably no one would believe him.

Even though he saw it with his own eyes, it felt almost like a dream.

Wu An hurriedly squatted in front of the sea turtle and said with a pleasant expression: "Turtle little brother... uh... not appropriate, not appropriate, I don't know how old you are."

"Let's not worry about that; I'll call you Turtle Elder Brother."

"I'm putting you back in the sea now; will you take me to find ambergris?"

The sea turtle looked at him.

There wasn't much of a reaction.

Wu An coughed and said: "If you don't speak, I'll take it as your agreement."

After saying that, he called A Qing to hug the sea turtle and throw it back into the sea; Hu Zi stood nearby watching, seeing the sea turtle being thrown in, he also tilted his head in a very human-like way, as if wondering why they threw back the gift he had returned.

The sea turtle glanced at the killer whale beside it, possibly due to psychological trauma, and with a whoosh dove into the sea, then disappeared.

Wu An waited for a while.

Naturally, he waited for nothing.

Mei Wu was very disappointed: "It looks like the sea turtle is dumber than Hu Zi; it didn't understand what you said."

Lao Fu Tou laughed: "At least it left behind the ambergris."

Wu An nodded and said: "Indeed."

"Next time we encounter other sea turtles, we'll ask again."

This is a sea treasure that can be sold by the gram, and unlike antiques, since it was obtained at sea, he can normally sell and monetize it.

If he didn't encounter it, that would be fine too.

Since he did encounter it, he couldn't avoid being worldly.

Upon hearing Hu Zi call twice, Wu An hurriedly lay on the ship's side and waved his beard, shouting loudly: "Hu Zi, don't stand on ceremony."

"Don't bring any more gifts onto the boat in the future."

"One careless move could smash someone to death."

Hu Zi didn't know if he heard or understood, but he just gave a response, and Wu An took it as him understanding.

Seeing that Hu Zi seemed about to leave, he tried to reach out his hand.

Hu Zi, seeing that, suddenly leapt up and bumped his hand with his head.

Wu An was overjoyed.

A Qing saw this from the side, unable to contain his excitement, half his body leaning out of the ship, raising his hand: "Hu Zi, Hu Zi, and me too, give me a bump."

After returning to the sea, Hu Zi leapt again.

But he didn't bump A Qing with his head; instead, he opened his mouth and sprayed a mass of seawater, drenching A Qing completely.

A Qing plopped onto the deck, a bit dazed, wiped the seawater off his face, and said: "Sweet rain mother, it's a bit salty!"

Everyone laughed heartily.

Mei Wu had been eager to try, but seeing A Qing like that, he thought about it and gave up.

They more or less figured it out.

Only Hu Zi is close to Wu An; no one else can get close.

Soon.

Hu Zi said goodbye, dove into the sea, and reappeared far away.

Wu An waved.

Mei Wu clicked his tongue approvingly and said: "A An, you're really something, able to make friends even out at sea."

Wu An chuckled: "That's right, make lots of friends and few enemies; if anyone dares to provoke us again, I'll get Hu Zi to help."

Mei Wu's eyes lit up: "Damn, you're right."

"This time, if we cross the midline and Hu Zi is with us, how could that fishing boat possibly still outrun us?"

"Hu Zi could just flip that fishing boat over."

A Qing said: "Brother, next time call Hu Zi and we'll go again."

"We'll take them down ourselves."

"Just thinking about it feels great."

Wu An said unhappily: "No."

"Even if Hu Zi could flip the fishing boat, he might get hurt."

Unless absolutely necessary, we cannot let Hu Zi take such a big risk.

A An's concern is spot on. Lao Fu Tou said: "But A Wu also makes sense; if we run into trouble later, like Ma Weiqun, we can have Hu Zi show up to scare them."

Wu An nodded with a smile; "Still, Lao Fu's words are trustworthy."

It's a pity we can't contact Hu Zi at any time.

Otherwise, we could basically walk sideways on the sea.

Yan Zu said that well.

Out in the world, you need influence and backing.

At sea.

His power and background are probably unmatched.

If we keep chatting, it'll get boring.

Several people began the salvage operation.

The crab pot income held no surprises; it was mainly mantis shrimp, with many sea snails too. Although the luck value buff and harvest are comparable to, say, adhesive net.

However, cleaning up the crab pots is much simpler, with much lower difficulty and intensity than adhesive net operations.

To be honest, Wu An prefers this crab pot method of operation.

As for adhesive net...

Although the harvest is good, it's really quite exhausting.

Moreover, because of the luck value buff, it's easy to attract big fish; for example, today a yellowfin tuna dragged the cast net and adhesive net away, nearly causing a big trouble.

All things considered, the crab pot can be said to be the operation with the highest cost-performance ratio.

Of course.

Once we have the trawler, trawling operations will make everything else seem like little brothers.

Secure the crab pots.

Then, he poured all the remaining luck value from today onto the crab pots; Wu An called out, Lao Fu Tou turned the rudder and headed straight back to the dock.

This isn't over yet.

The catch on the deck still needed sorting; luckily, aside from mantis shrimp there were sea snails, a few small miscellaneous fish, and some orchid crabs and shuttle crabs, which were quickly sorted and put away.

It was almost three in the afternoon, and the sun was blazing hot.

All three were soaked through.

The sweat on their faces was sticky and greasy, having been baked into oil by the sun.

Despite his careful protection during this busy period, Wu An ended up much darker than before he went out to fish.

Gu Anran also bought him quite a lot of skincare products.

It cost a fair amount of money.

It was still Gu Anran's own money.

Gu Anran said this was a long-term investment; although the men around here are all dark-skinned, she still hopes her man can be fairer.

It also looks pleasant.

Wu An deeply agreed; he didn't want to be called 'grandpa' by some clueless kid in his thirties or forties.

Even when not under the sun, he wore a hat and covered his face with a cloth.

"Brother, just looking at you like this makes me hot."

"Then close your eyes."

"I can't help but want to look at you."

"Stop chatting nonsense; smoking can't even shut your mouth. I was naturally cool from a calm mind, just fooling myself, but your reminder made me break out in sweat all over."

"Brother, even if you say that, I still can't help but say a couple of things."

"You're asking for a kick, aren't you?"

"Brother, don't move; moving just makes you hotter."

"Damn, someday I'll install air conditioning on the boat."

Mei Wu admired the brothers' energy; he was so tired and hot that he couldn't even muster the strength to puff on his cigarette.

These two brothers can still spout nonsense like that.

As they chatted, they ended up fighting.

They really can cause a commotion.
