Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment Chapter 2064: Another Treasure
Previously on Found 100 Million In My Rented Apartment...
A dense, teeming mass of sea cucumbers currently blanketed the shoreline, far exceeding a mere few dozen.
Even for Hai Ling’er and Hai Xiaoyao, who had spent their entire lives on this island, such an overwhelming sight was unprecedented.
Quickly estimating the span of the beach and the sheer volume of the creatures, Hai Ling’er gasped in shock. "There must be at least two to three hundred catties of sea cucumbers scattered here!" she exclaimed.
"Furthermore, the quality is exceptional. The majority of these are well above average grade."
"If we take these to market, we could easily fetch at least ten thousand yuan."
Unable to restrain his excitement any longer, Hai Xiaoyao sprinted toward the bounty. "This catch has definitely shattered the record for the most sea cucumbers ever collected by our village!"
Ye Feng gave a thin smile. "Let’s get to work and pick them up quickly."
"We don't want anyone else stumbling upon this spot while we're still working."
"Right!" Hai Ling’er wasted no more words and immediately began gathering the sea cucumbers.
"I’m finally experiencing the true thrill of harvesting the sea!" Zhuang Xiaoqiao was visibly radiant with joy. While picking up her share, she gleefully pulled out her phone to snap a selfie against the backdrop of the most densely packed section of the beach.
Finding a single photo insufficient, she pulled Ye Feng into the frame, capturing herself, her loot, and the surrounding ocean in a series of pictures.
She then insisted Hai Ling’er take a group photo of her and Ye Feng with their earlier rewards.
Once the photography session ended, she returned to the harvest with high spirits, sharing the exciting news with her friends online as she worked.
As Ye Feng gathered the sea cucumbers, he stealthily triggered his treasure hunting function once more.
To his surprise, as he neared the edge of the coastline, the system signaled a new discovery.
The treasure hunting interface indicated a hidden, small beach tucked behind a cluster of boulders approximately 900 meters away.
Something valuable was waiting there.
After finishing with the sea cucumbers in his immediate vicinity, Ye Feng hoisted his basket. "Xiao Qiao, Ling’er, Xiao Yao, I’ll leave the rest of these to you. I’m going to scout the nearby area to see if there’s anything else worth finding."
Zhuang Xiaoqiao looked up, surprised. "You're still looking for more treasure troves?"
"Isn't today's haul already plenty?"
"I think my earlier estimate was actually too low," Hai Ling’er added, nodding with a sense of exhausted satisfaction. "The weight of the sea cucumbers on this stretch alone should be at least 400 pounds."
"We’ve already secured a massive harvest, Brother Ye Feng."
Ye Feng didn't offer a detailed explanation, simply smiling as he replied, "The day is still young. I won't wander too far, just a kilometer or two around this perimeter."
Hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoqiao and Hai Ling’er relented. They warned him to stay cautious and went back to their task of gathering the sea cucumbers.
Ye Feng set off toward the coordinates marked by the treasure hunting function.
As he rounded a pile of jagged rocks, he spotted a secluded mini-beach nestled within the formation. His eyes widened in astonishment when he saw several sea cucumbers lying on the sand.
These three specimens were significantly larger than the ones they had just found. Two of them possessed a milky-white hue and a texture resembling polished white jade, marking them as clearly extraordinary.
Ye Feng immediately pulled out his smartphone to look up information on the species.
A moment later, he couldn't help but break into a laugh.
[White Sea Cucumber, also known as the White Jade Sea Cucumber, is a legendary rarity. It is a product of a specific genetic mutation and is seldom encountered in the wild!]
[Due to this mutation, only one in every 200,000 sea cucumbers turns white. Years ago, a single kilogram of white sea cucumber fetched a staggering price of 330,000 yuan at an auction in Ji City...]
According to the data, these were the fabled White Jade Sea Cucumbers—priceless and incredibly rare.
These two specimens alone were worth more than two or three thousand catties of the common variety, likely valued at two to three hundred thousand yuan.
It seemed his luck was truly formidable today. Beyond the hundreds of catties of standard harvest, he had stumbled upon a genuine treasure.
Tucking his phone away, Ye Feng hurried onto the small beach, secured the three sea cucumbers, and began his trek back.
