After failing the college entrance examination, I relied on fishing to reach the top of my life

In the hotel room.

Su Mo put his ear against the back of the door and listened for a long time. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that Gardenia and Keiko were gone.

Seeing this, Jenny couldn’t wait to ask: “How long have you been back?”

She was very worried that Su Mo had just heard the conversation between her and two Japanese women. In order to deal with them, the excuses she made at that time were really shameful.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Su Mo untied his bathrobe and prepared to take off his clothes.

"Ah~"

Jenny immediately covered her eyes and screamed, shouting: "Don't be serious, I just... um..."

Before she finished speaking, Su Mo covered her mouth: "Don't scream, their room is not far from here!"

Jenny nodded quickly.

Su Mo then let go of his hand, and then took off his bathrobe, revealing the wet clothes underneath. It turned out that he had just come back not long ago!

Jenny covered her eyes and stood there for a while. Seeing that Su Mo made no further movements, she moved her fingers a little, trying to observe secretly through the gaps between her fingers.

As a result, she found that Su Mo's clothes were well worn, so she immediately let go of her hand.

"You guys take advantage of me every day, it scares me to death."

Jenny patted her chest: “When did you come back?”

"Just came back."

Su Mo shivered. He had indeed just come back not long ago.

When he returned to the hotel near the night, because the weather was too cold and he had just climbed out of the sea, his hair and clothes were immediately covered with a thin layer of ice.

He was thinking about going back to the room and taking a hot shower quickly, but he happened to see Jenny and the others getting out of the taxi. He had to wait in the snow for a while. After the group entered the hotel, he climbed out of the water pipe behind the house. Go up to the balcony and enter the room.

Fortunately, the houses in Nuk are very small, basically two-story buildings. If it were somewhere else, Su Mo would definitely be staying in a luxury hotel, and there would be nothing to do.

After all, he is not Lao Wang next door. When "like-minded people" come to his door, he dares to step on the air conditioner to escape even if he is on dozens of floors.

In order not to be discovered by Gardenia and Keiko, Su Mo had no choice but to wrap herself in a bathrobe, take off her shoes, rinse her hair with cold water, pretend to have just taken a shower, and then directly opened the door to help Jenny undress. Around.

Although the method is good, it is a bit useless. In the sea, because of the attributes brought by the Poseidon Road, he is not afraid of the severe cold, but when he gets to the shore, he is not so free. Although it is much better than ordinary people, he will still feel cold.

He immediately took off his already stiff shirt, revealing his bronzed upper body.

Seeing this, Jenny immediately covered her eyes again: “Hey, can’t you go to the bathroom and change clothes!”

"Hey, didn't you just say that I was tired from working at night?"

Su Mo walked up to her and joked.

"Ah, you heard it!" Jenny suddenly blushed. At the same time, she noticed that Su Mo was standing in front of her, and she felt nervous in her heart. She quickly explained: "I was afraid that they would find out that you were not here, so I made nonsense." Yes, don’t get me wrong.”

Su Mo smiled, first reached for a towel on the shelf behind Jenny, and then pulled her hand down hard.

This frightened Jenny, and she quickly closed her eyes and continued to pretend to be an ostrich.

"What should I do? He shouldn't be so animalistic!"

Thinking like this, Jenny was almost crying.

As a result, Su Mo did not take any further action. He just put the "crystal" and the metal card in his pocket on her hand and said, "See if you recognize this thing. I'm going to take a shower."

With that said, he walked into the bathroom, and soon there was a flushing sound inside.

Hearing the noise, Jenny opened her eyes and whispered angrily: "Damn it, you bully me every day!"

Feeling sulky, she looked at the things in her hand. The card was nothing unusual, but the "crystal" was very unusual. To say it was a gem was definitely an overstatement, but it was by no means an ordinary stone.

Jenny used to be in the cultural relics business and had seen a lot of various treasures, but this was the first time she had seen a stone made of this material. So she immediately took out a magnifying glass from her bag and observed it carefully, but she still couldn't see it. What is this.

At this time, Su Mo walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower, and Jenny asked, "Where did you get this?"

"In the sea."

Su Mo was drying his hair with a hair dryer and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

Jenny shook her head.

Su Mo was a little disappointed, but the origin of this thing was very important, and he had to figure it out.

After thinking for a moment, he said to Jenny: "Send the photo of this thing to Yuemeng via email and ask her to ask Cai Zixian immediately. That guy is well-informed and he might recognize it. Remember to take photos carefully."

Jenny nodded and immediately followed the instructions.

Because the time in Granling Island was about the same as that in China, Zhang Yuemeng didn't sleep at this time, so he replied to the email after about an hour.

And Su Mo finally knew what the "crystal" he brought back from the whale nest was.

Rare earth minerals!

It’s still very pure xenotime!

Rare earths are known as "industrial gold" because the rare elements contained in them have many magical physical properties. After being synthesized and processed with other materials, a wide variety of new materials can be produced. These materials are widely used in metallurgy, petrochemical industry, agriculture, and even military manufacturing, and have huge strategic significance.

When Su Mo was looking through the information on Granling Island before, he learned that although it was poor, it was rich in products, one of which was rare earths, but he didn't think about it at all at the time.

But after learning that the whale nest at the bottom of the sea is a mountain made of rare earth minerals, and combined with the metal card found in the diving bell, Su Mo is now certain that Kenta Takayama's goal must be these rare minerals!

And he definitely did not discover the secret here recently. From the corrosion of the diving bell, it can be seen that the Yamaguchi group must have been here long ago and conducted on-site surveys. However, he did not expect that a large group of whales would live in the mine.

There might have been a conflict between the two. The dead white whale, the wrecked diving bell and the human skeletons inside are the best proof!

It makes sense why the remaining beluga, which had its horn broken off, chased the Yamaguchi-gumi’s whaling ship. It was protecting its homeland!

Thinking of this, Su Mo immediately made a decision in his heart.

It was impossible for him to help Kenta Takayama kill the white whale. Instead, he had to find a way to stop them from mining rare earth minerals.

After all, helping the Yamaguchi-gumi obtain rare earths is tantamount to helping Japan. Isn't this subsidizing the enemy?

But how to do it?

Su Mo couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
