My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 149: Arriving in South Town, Starting the Mission

Zhou Miao then melted the gold and found that there was almost no loss, which also indicated that the purity of this batch of gold was very good.

The gold and silver that have been smelted look very good, and there is no trace of them having been soaked in water for decades.

When Zhou Jiguang returned in the evening, he learned that Zhou Miao was already smelting gold and silver. Ignoring his fatigue, he immediately went upstairs to join in, as if he had found a fun game.

He would have stayed up all night if it weren't for work the next day.

Zhou Miao also discussed the issue of selling gold and silver with his father, and finally decided to take a gradual approach, selling off all the gold and silver he had through various gold shops within six months.

At the same time, Zhou Jiguang also needs to find time to take the seafarer competency exam.

Zhou Miao originally thought his father could start as a first mate, but after researching online, he realized he had to start as a sailor.

Only after accumulating a certain amount of experience can one continue to take the exams for third mate, then second mate, and finally chief mate.

Only students graduating from specialized universities can directly apply for these positions; no work experience is required.

Therefore, there's no need to rush to liquidate the gold and silver bars in the house; Zhou Jiguang can sell them off privately at his own pace.

Zhou Miao told his father to sell the silver bars quickly. The price had been soaring recently, and even though he didn't trade stocks, he knew that the price would plummet once it reached a critical point.

After staying at home for three days, visiting his grandparents, and having a get-together with his uncles, he took a large box of silver bars and ten gold bars that he had melted down himself back to Nanzhen.

Zhou Miao would slowly sell these items at gold shops in Nanzhen to ease some of the pressure on his father.

On her first night back in Nanzhen, Lu Xiaoxiao secretly slipped into his room.

Her recovery almost made Zhou Miao slap the bed and admit defeat.

After not seeing her for three days, this girl became incredibly crazy, making him lie in bed until noon the next day, not even thinking about getting up.

Zhou Miao had thought that fortunes would change in the future, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

This woman is being way too extreme.

Zhou Miao immediately brewed goji berries in her thermos, while simultaneously considering whether to go to the gym with Yu Muzhou.

After getting up, he ate the loving lunch that Lu Xiaoxiao brought him, and then calculated his current assets.

One million has already been given to Yu Muzhou. The share contract is currently locked in a cabinet in the rented apartment. He has already bought a safe online, but it hasn't arrived yet.

He currently has a little over 160,000 yuan in savings, and he has already paid for the materials to build the framework for the fish raft.

But he still owes 200,000 yuan on the flooring, and he also has a loan of 100,000 yuan.

Lu Xingyu will take out the wages for Master Sun and the others from his card. Zhou Miao doesn't need to worry about the entire power system for the fishing raft, as well as miscellaneous items such as tables, chairs, and fishing rods.

The money earned from exchanging gold and silver bars needs to be saved to buy a large ship, so Zhou Miao currently only has a little over 160,000 yuan in savings and 300,000 yuan in debt.

Just then, three requests for help were refreshed in the system, and he planned to earn money first to pay the remaining 200,000 yuan for the flooring.

Even if you drag it out, you'll still have to pay interest, and the interest rate will be slightly higher than that of a bank loan.

Zhou Miao opened the system and checked the three tasks that had been refreshed at that time.

1. Mangrove forests are overrun with blue crabs.

This is a long-term task. Zhou Miao only needs to secretly set the traps at night and collect them before sunrise.

Fortunately, he has the ability to hide, so he is not easily noticed by others in the past.

2. The reef is entangled in abandoned fishing nets.

The task was completed quickly, so Zhou Miao decided to go check on it in the afternoon; perhaps it could be finished today.

3. The proliferation of sea urchins on coral reefs affects the ecological balance.

This task is the most troublesome, requiring Zhou Miao to dive and catch sea urchins. Although sea urchins can be sold for money, catching them is inefficient and takes a long time, so it's best to leave it for last.

With a plan in mind, Zhou Miao took his diving gear, first went to the club to refill his compressed air cylinder, and then bought a box of ice.

He figured that even an abandoned fishing net was still a fishing net, and there must be a lot of fish tangled in it.

Bring ice along, and you can bring back some fish that have just died so you can enjoy them yourself.

Arriving at his own fishing raft with his belongings, Zhou Miao took out all the fish traps, planning to go to the mangrove forest after bringing up the discarded fishing nets.

"Ah Miao, where are you going?" When Lu Xingyu, the supervisor, saw him take out the ground cage, his eyes lit up and he quickly stepped forward to ask.

He really benefited from the last time he was with Pipi Shrimp. He used to have to rely on his sister for his daily expenses, but Pipi Shrimp helped him recover a lot of money, giving him tens of thousands of yuan in living expenses.

"Let's go out to sea for a bit, and while we're at it, let's find a fish trap and see if we can catch some blue crabs."

As always, Zhou Miao never chooses to bring anyone else along when a new fishing spot appears.

He will only ask others for help if he is certain that there is a lot of work to be done and he cannot handle it all by himself.

"Blue crabs? There probably aren't many of these in the wild." Upon hearing that his plan was to catch blue crabs, Lu Xingyu immediately lost interest.

"Who knows if it's a lot or not!" Zhou Miao left with a meaningful smile, then sailed away.

He had already saved the mission location as a screenshot on his phone's navigation app last time, so this time he simply entered it into the fishing boat's navigation, determined the direction and location, and then headed in that direction.

These past few days have been a holiday, and there are quite a few tourists at the surrounding fish rafts.

Lu Xiaoxiao's video went viral on a small scale, and a few tourists who happened to see it even came to visit their fish raft.

I don't know if it's because there are so many people, but the sea turtles aren't showing up.

This led Lu Xingyu to keep assuring the tourists that he had really been saved by the sea turtle, and he even showed them the wrecked speedboat.

The tourists all came specifically for the sea turtles, but since they didn't see any, they felt it wasn't very interesting and left.

Lu Xingyu was also anxious because the frequent appearance of sea turtles was related to the business of the fish rafts, so he even went diving to look for them.

Then he was stunned by what he saw in the water. He never expected there to be such a huge school of fish below his fish raft. Although they were mostly small fish, the sheer number of them really shocked him.

At the same time, he also found a sea turtle underwater that looked like a large reef. Seeing that it was still alive and staying there obediently, Lu Xingyu was relieved.

Once back on shore, he immediately texted Zhou Miao to tell him about the underwater situation.

At the time, Zhou Miao was still at home refining gold and didn't care about these things. He just told him to keep it a secret for the time being and not to tell anyone else.

After sailing at sea for more than an hour, Zhou Miao arrived at the mission location where the abandoned fishing nets were.

Because the system didn't provide a precise location, he had to put on a diving suit and go underwater to find it himself.

Fortunately, fishing boat navigation systems mark the locations of nearby reefs to prevent fishing boats from running aground.

Therefore, it wasn't difficult for Zhou Miao to find places with hidden reefs around, it just took a little time.

After going into the water three times, he saw the reef at the bottom of the water that was entangled by two large gillnets.

These two gillnets are estimated to be several kilometers long. After being abandoned, they were completely entangled in the reef by the waves. From a distance, they look like the reef is wearing a hat, resembling an old Dubai.

The water here is over 20 meters deep, with various small rocks standing tall, making it easy for fishing nets to get caught and ruined.

Zhou Miao quickly dived down to the abandoned fishing net. As he got closer, he saw that the net was tangled up and some sea fish were still entangled in it.

However, most of the fish that came into view were dead, some even badly gnawed, and no other live fish were found so far.
