Gold sale

After listening to Cheng Xuyuan's analysis, the players all stared wide-eyed.

Wu Guang frowned, "You mean, we want to bring this sunken ship back to the surface?"

"Yes."

"How is this possible!" Wu Guang's face was full of disbelief, "This is a sunken ship! After so many years, the ship has been damaged since it entered the water! How do you get it back to the surface of the sea? "

Cheng Xuyuan: "You are right, but don't forget that this is a game world, everything is set by the Lord God's game, and anything can happen."

Cheng Xuyuan's words were not unreasonable, Wu Guang was unable to refute them for a while.

On the side, Martial Arts said: "I agree with Cheng Xuyuan's point of view. We really can't judge things based on superficial phenomena, and don't jump to conclusions without trying. Moreover, judging from the information currently known, this explanation is the most likely."

"There must be clues on this ship that we haven't discovered. If we find them, then we may be able to get a way to activate this ship."

Xu Hui: "Then let's split up and look for clues."

Wuchang nodded: "Then according to the grouping just now, let's divide into three groups to check other places on the ship that have not been inspected."

"Actually, you don't need to look around the whole ship." Cheng Xuyuan paused and said, "Don't forget that the Shenxiao is the prototype of the Tiangong. This is the mirror world of the Tiangong."

"According to the main storyline we deciphered earlier, we only need to go to the warehouse and cab on the first floor, the laboratory on the second floor, the kitchen on the fifth floor, and the 90A guest room on the ninth floor."

"You're right."

Wuchang: "Then let's focus on these places."

Cheng Xuyuan pointed to Xu Hui and Liu Wenhan next to him and said, "Still according to the previous grouping, the three of us will go to the 1st and 2nd floors."

Looking at the pupil in front of him whose stature was no more than his waist, Wuchang hesitated: "The bottom cabin is seriously flooded, can you do it? Or let the two of us do it."

Cheng Xuyuan pushed the eyes on the bridge of the nose with his index finger: "It's okay, I have diving equipment."

Seeing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Wuchang stopped talking and pointed to himself and Wu Guang: "Then let's go to the kitchen on the 5th floor."

The remaining 90A naturally fell on the heads of the Zhou family sisters.

"An hour later, we will still meet on the deck." Martial Arts said: "The hidden mission is very difficult. Although this is a sunken ship, please be careful."

After assigning tasks, a group of people dispersed to various search areas.

Taking out the diving equipment, Cheng Xuyuan looked at Ah Hua who was curled up behind him: "Master Ah Hua, do you plan to stay here or go down with us?"

Seeing that Ah Hua looked up at them with a lack of interest, "I'm not going."

She is not a player, and she doesn't need to complete the so-called mission, so she won't take this muddy water.

Not to mention the lotus leaf roasted chicken was washed away by the water, and was somehow dragged into the world of hidden dungeons.What was even more depressing was that Su Ji was also missing, and she couldn't leave without asking for roast suckling pig and ice cream.

Thinking of these things, Ah Hua was also very irritable: "I'm allergic to sea water, so I want to rest on the deck."

"..."

Allergic to seawater?

Although guessing that the snake god might just be too lazy to move, Cheng Xuyuan still said kindly: "Then you rest here, we will go first."

After leaving the deck, the three went straight to the second floor.

As Wuchang said, there is water everywhere in the lower cabin.As soon as he walked into the corridor on the third floor, the water covered Liu Wenhan's chest and Xu Hui's neck.

If the three of them hadn't changed into diving equipment in advance, they would have been choked to death by the sea water.

Perhaps because of the age, the accumulated water in the cabin has become turbid. Even with the flashlight on, it is still unclear.

Seaweed and aquatic plants grow wantonly in this abandoned shipwreck, turning this no-man's land in front of you into a witch's swamp in a cult fairy tale.

The creamy seaweed brushed by, and even wearing a diving suit could still feel the sticky touch.

After a long journey, the suffocating kelp forest finally disappeared.

They successfully reached the second floor.The three of them carried oxygen cylinders on their backs and struggled to find the right path in the dark sea water through the dim light of the flashlight.

With the vague icons on the wall, the three successfully found the garbage disposal center.

I don't know if it's because the garbage has been soaked in the water for a long time, the closer it is, the more unpleasant the smell in the seawater.

Although he is a medical student, Liu Wenhan doesn't think he is a clean freak, but when he enters here, he only feels that the hairs all over his body are standing on end, and every nerve is clamoring to leave.

He knew it was impossible, but he always felt that countless bacteria were drilling into his pores.

It's really disgusting.

Just when Liu Wenhan was about to lose his hold and almost wanted to turn around and run away, Cheng Xuyuan in the distance pulled open the door of the laboratory.

As they expected, it was a mess here.It was completely different from what they had seen in Tiangong before.

Broken glassware covered with green moss, rusted instruments, and sludge accumulated on the ground...

It's not much different from a dump.

Because she couldn't communicate in words in the water, Xu Hui had to send a message on the player panel——

"Can there really be a clue here?"

Cheng Xuyuan: "You have to look for it to find out."

The three of them turned around in the dark laboratory from inside to outside with flashlights. Except for the remaining mermaid scales in the corner, they didn't find anything effective.

Xu Hui: "All the information and documents here have been soaked. There should be no clues here. Let's go to the first floor to have a look."

"Wait a minute." Cheng Xuyuan made a gesture and then squatted down.

Seeing this, Xu Hui asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

I saw Cheng Xuyuan brushing away the mud on the ground with his hands, and then, a transparent plastic waterproof bag came into the eyes of the three of them.

"There's something here."

Cheng Xuyuan pointed to the ground.Xu Hui and Liu Wenhan stepped forward immediately.This is a notebook kept in a plastic seal, with a black cover, which looks ordinary.

The moment Cheng Xuyuan picked it up.The three of them all received the message prompt——

[Clues (1/3), mysterious notes. 】

The moment Xu Hui and Liu Wenhan received the reminder, they looked at each other in blank dismay.

Glancing thoughtfully at the panel, Cheng Xuyuan put the notebook into his backpack.

There are a total of 3 clues, and now only one has been found, and there are still two left.

Forty-five minutes have passed, and there is only a quarter of an hour left before the appointed time. If we continue to explore the first floor, there will definitely not be enough time.Moreover, the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder may not be able to support it.

After discussion, the three decided to go up and join the others first.

Back on the deck, everyone has one more thing in their hands.

Looking at the key in Wuchang's hand and the layout plan of the cruise ship in Zhou Jing's hand, Liu Wenhan asked, "Have you found any clues?"

Wuchang nodded, "Since you said 'yes', you probably didn't return empty-handed."

Taking out the notebook from his backpack, Cheng Xuyuan said, "This is the notebook we found in the laboratory on the second floor."

The moment he took out his notebook, a system notification sounded beside his ears——

[Clues collected (3/3)]

【Mysterious Notes, Mysterious Keys, Cruise Plane Design】

Wuchang blinked, "It seems that the key to breaking the game lies in these three things."

Pulling open the plastic waterproof bag and taking out the notebook, Cheng Xuyuan said, "Let's take a look at the contents of this notebook first."

This notebook looks old, the paper is slightly yellow, and there is a fishy smell of sea water.Opening the title page of the notebook, a square signature came into view——

Wu Qinghe.

Zhou Wen frowned, "This is..."

"This should be Professor Wu's notebook." Wu Chang said: "We saw his ID when we searched him earlier. His name is Wu Qinghe."

Qinghe and Qinghe are homophonic.

The names of NPCs in the dungeon are always similar to the characters in real events.

Hearing this, the players turned the page and looked down——

[May 1988, 5, cloudy and breezy

This is the first time I have gone out for an investigation since I became a researcher.The day before I went, I was so excited that I couldn't sleep all night.

Following the professor, we went to the fishing village on the South China Sea. I heard that there are many rare plants growing on the mountains there, and many of them can cure cancer.If they can be brought back to large-scale planting, many people will be freed from illness in the future. 】

"Yo ho. This Professor Wu can do it. He actually had such a great ambition when he was young." Seeing this, Wu Guang raised his eyebrows, "I just don't know why he went to study mermaids again later."

"It's written here." Cheng Xuyuan pointed to the content behind——

[On the way down the mountain, I saw a mermaid on the coast.This is the first time I have encountered this kind of creature. Before that, I didn't believe that there were mermaids in this world.

Although it is said to be a mermaid, its appearance is not very beautiful.Gray scales, bluish-white skin, and flat fish-like facial features. If it weren't for his upper body with a neck and hands, I really don't believe it is the legendary creature.

The mermaid didn't seem to be afraid of humans. After seeing me, she didn't run away immediately, but hid behind a stone and watched me quietly.

Out of curiosity, I went up and took out the dried salted fish sent by a local fellow.The mermaid saw it, sniffed it, hesitated for a while, and finally took it.

It wasn't pretty, but I have to admit that at that moment this amazing creature captivated me.

I began to wonder where this creature lived and how it reproduced.What is the life expectancy and what language is used to communicate.

Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing these questions.After taking my dried fish, the mermaid turned around and plunged into the sea. 】

……

【July 1991, 7, Xiaoyu

Today I officially resigned from the research institute. Although my family did not understand, I do not regret this decision.

The fact that people want to find what they love in this life and spend their whole life dedicating to it is too difficult.

And I have found it.

That being the case, why should I continue wasting my time elsewhere? 】

[January 1992, 4, sunny

I have been looking for the merman for nearly a year after leaving the research institute.I went to that fishing village, and also to coasts around the country and around the world, but I never saw a mermaid again.

Sometimes I can't help but think, is it really worth it to give up so much just to do this?

Just when I couldn't bear to give up, a miracle happened.Once again I met this wonderful creature.

This time, I didn't let it go.

I caught it and kept it in the bathtub of the rental house.

After nearly 5 years, I once again had close contact with this creature. 】

[May 1992, 5, moderate rain

I did a lot of experiments on that mermaid, and to my surprise, no matter what kind of damage the mermaid takes, it will heal quickly.Even though I didn't treat it well, it still survived in my house for a month.

The powerful self-healing ability makes me wonder how the genes of this creature are different from human beings.How long do they live and are they cancer resistant?

It's a pity that I don't understand their language, otherwise I would have asked directly. 】

【November 1992, 7, overcast

The mermaid didn't survive my experiment in the end.This time its self-healing abilities didn't work and it died.

As the first mermaid I caught, I developed a lot of affection for it.Therefore, I did not bury it, but chose to make a specimen.It was precisely because of this mermaid specimen that I met Mr. Jin.A benefactor who is willing to fund my research project and Bole who understands me best.

I believe that with his help, my research project will gradually be on the right track. 】

……

[October 1999, 11, cloudy

Our experiments have come a long way.We successfully extracted the growth cells of the merman and injected them into a mouse that was about to die of illness.Under the action of mermaid cells, the mice regained their vitality.

I feel like I'm close to success. 】

[January 2000, 1, sunny

Today is New Year's Day, but I don't feel the joy of celebrating the festival at all.Our experiment failed again.

After that injection was successful, we injected the extracted mermaid cells into a homeless man who was about to die.At first, the homeless man recovered as well as the guinea pig.But the good times didn't last long. Three days later, the homeless man started to mutate...

The research office spent a lot of effort to control him.However, not long after that, he died anyway. 】

[January 2000, 1, rain

Mr. Jin still withdrew the capital, no matter how much I begged.He eventually withdrew.

So many years of hard work finally turned into a bubble.

I don't understand why he doesn't believe me.I don't even understand why the experiment failed.

Obviously it was successful at the beginning!Why can't the experimental subjects be changed to human beings?

I hate!I can not be reconciled!

Just wait, once the research project is successful, human beings will live forever, and I will become a great man who will last forever.Those who have opposed me and hit me will definitely regret it! 】

……

As far as the note is written, the rest of the content is basically Professor Wu lamenting the injustice of fate and feeling anxious about the failure of the experiment.

Looking at the increasingly scribbled handwriting behind, the players almost lost their patience.

At this moment, things took a turn for the better.

Professor Wu hooked up with foreign capital and got new project funds.It is precisely because of this new round of investors that Professor Wu discovered a new secret about the mermaids.

[January 2000, 9, sunny

I was shocked when Mr. Smith told me that the merman doesn't actually live in the same world as us.

Only then did I realize that it was because of this reason that I was unable to find the merman before.

He told me that sharks can use their own way to open the door to connect the two worlds.Only by opening this door can they travel freely between the two worlds.But no one knows exactly where the door is.

After listening to what Mr. Smith said, I have a new goal——

I want to research a way to open the door connecting the two worlds, and find the world where the merman is. 】

[October 2009, 2, cloudy

After years of hard work, we finally found the intersection of the mermaid world and the human world.But to get there, you have to cross the open sea.What should I do? 】

【May 2009, 5, heavy rain

We finally found a way to get there.This is thanks to Mr. Chang who has been seriously ill for a long time in CS Shipping Company.When I patted my chest and assured him that there was a cure for his terminal illness, he readily agreed to lend us the cruise ship.

This stupid old man thinks he is smart, but he doesn't know that all this is a lie made up by me. 】

[January 2009, 8, sunny

Under the cover of Mr. Chang, we successfully carried those mermaids onto the boat.It also successfully brought the space wall breaker to the secret room of the cruise ship.

When I think of the next experiment and the great scene I will witness, I can't restrain my excitement. 】

[February 2009, 8, heavy rain

With our disdainful efforts, the sharks came.They sang a song and opened the door to two worlds.

I'm finally going to see the Merman City! 】

The notes came to an abrupt end here, and I don't know if it was because I was too excited, the strokes of this line of characters even flew up at the end.

Wuchang: "According to the records in the notes, this ship should be in the world of the sharks now."

Cheng Xuyuan: "It seems that what we have to do is to send this ship back to the human world."

Zhou Wen nodded, "But what is this spatial wall breaking machine?"

As soon as the voice fell, an explanation automatically popped up on the player's panel——

[Space Wall Breaker: This is a machine that can break through the space walls of two worlds. It needs a special energy source to start.This is also the result of many years of research by Professor Wu's team. 】

[Professor Wu and his party originally planned to use the space wall breaker to return to the human world after entering the mermaid world, but the Shenxiao ship sank.This machine will follow the ship and sleep forever on the bottom of the sea. 】

After reading all the content, Cheng Xuyuan said: "We need to find this space wall breaking machine, it is the key to our hidden mission."

Wu Guang: "But such a big ship, we don't know what this machine looks like, how can we find it?"

"Isn't there a blueprint for the cruise ship?"

Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the drawing in Zhou Jing's hand, "Since it is a clue, then this design drawing can definitely tell us useful information."
