As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

196 Astonishing! A Tiger-Headed Gilt Military Token! (3)

After spending half a day digging in the sweltering heat, most people would have caught a cold. However, Luo Feng was not like most people. He had an exceptional physique and was unbothered by the cruel conditions.

As Luo Feng dove into the water, he spotted some small finger-length fish. He continued to submerge until he reached the bottom of the pool, where he found many broken stones but very little silt. With his exceptional swimming skills, Luo Feng was able to move underwater as if he were taking steps in outer space…

A very small group of talented individuals could walk normally underwater for more than ten minutes, but such a feat would be worthy of a Guinness World Record.

Suddenly, Luo Feng spotted a large pile of dense water plants and, faintly visible, was a large box that was slightly more than a meter long.

Gotta bring it up!

Luo Feng cleared the surrounding water plants, effortlessly lifted the large box, and hoisted it up from underwater.

He had no idea how much it weighed, as it was hard to estimate due to the buoyant force of the water. Nevertheless, the box seemed to be of good quality, and it was bound with iron sheets. Even after a few hundred years, it had shown no signs of decay or deformation.

Of course, even with the assistance of the water’s buoyant force, it would be a pipe dream for any ordinary person to carry something out of such depths. However, Luo Feng was simply built different – he had great strength and had excellent swimming skills. Most importantly, he had a clear purpose and goal in mind, which allowed him to successfully retrieve the treasure.

“Ohh? Luo Feng is finally up? Is that a box I see?” Li Shishi spotted Luo Feng’s emergence and immediately rushed over to him.

As the box reached the shore, its weight became apparent, no longer supported by buoyancy. Luo Feng estimated it to be around 100 pounds.

“Wow! There really is treasure down there!”

“The livestream host is awesome!”

“It was so well hidden? Old Li’s treasure was still found by Luo Feng!”

“Damn, did he use cheats?”

Luo Feng noticed the onlookers and carefully flicked his hair, but some water droplets still splashed onto the faces of the nearby wealthy second-generation heirs.

Nevertheless, no one seemed to mind, and An Peng had even asked, “Are there more boxes down there? Do you need help, or is there only a single box?”

An Peng, who also came from the countryside, would not have a problem diving into such a deep pool.

“There should be many more! But those who aren’t good swimmers shouldn’t try to show off by going down with me!” Luo Feng was well aware of An Peng’s swimming ability, and thus, he could trust that he would keep himself safe, but he could not say the same for the other wealthy heirs.

Although it was still water, there was no guarantee that they would not get tangled in the water plants, and rescuing them would be troublesome.

In the end, 3 second-generation heirs with good swimming skills were chosen, along with An Peng and Luo Feng, for a total of 5 people to dive and retrieve the treasure.

Of course, once word got out that there was treasure beneath the pool, many people would come looking for it. However, since Luo Feng was the first to discover the site, those who followed after his footsteps would only be left with disappointment.

Splash. Splash.

The 5 people formed groups of 2, 2, and 1. They took turns diving, and naturally, Luo Feng was the solo diver.

In the meantime, the others floated on the surface, and were tasked with watching out for their peers. If someone who had gone underwater did not resurface after a certain amount of time, they would need to dive down to check on them and rescue them if necessary.

…

And so, they toiled and strived to unearth as many treasures as possible.

Although they were dead-tired, to the onlookers, they seemed to have a bottomless well of energy.

After 7 or so dives, the 5 of them collectively took a break.

“So, there’s still more down there, and it hasn’t all been moved?” Li Shishi handed a dry towel to the panting Luo Feng, wiping the water from his hair as she asked curiously.

“Of course, there’s probably still half left. After we rest for a bit, we can dive another 7 times and have everything brought up!” Luo Feng replied, eating a few beef jerky sticks to replenish his energy. Diving was truly exhausting.

“More than 20 boxes have already been brought up, and there’s still half left?” Zhang Shunyong did not know what to say.

If only he were a better swimmer, he could have dived for treasure himself, rather than watching from the shore.

After a half-hour break, the 5 people resumed their work, once again diving in groups of 2-2-1. They dove another seven or so times.

Each time they went down, the groups comprised on two people would carry a box together, whereas Luo Feng would carry a box all by himself. With this, each rotation meant that 3 boxes would be retrieved.

After 8 rounds, 24 boxes had been brought up.

“This is the last box!”

“We’ve counted, and there should be around 52 boxes, right?”

Luo Feng was quite surprised that the number of boxes was the same as last time. However, this time, he hoped that the contents would not just be gold and silver, as that would make for rather dull entertainment for both himself and his viewers.

“Wow! Seeing all these chests makes me want to quit school and hunt for treasure!”

“Bro, take my advice and return that hoe you bought online!”

“Not everyone can be as lucky as our host. Not many people make a fortune in this line of work!”

Zhang Shunyong looked at the boxes and said, “Some of the boxes aren’t as heavy as the others. Could they be containing paintings or something?”

“Paintings? They’ve been soaked in water for so long, they would be ruined by now. If there were paintings, Old Li wouldn’t have chosen to hide them underwater!” Luo Feng shook his head.

Of course, Luo Feng did not hold out much hope for ceramics or porcelainware either. During the initial robbery, the focus of the rebel king and his men would have been on gold, silver, and jewelry, as they were easier to transport around during their escape.

Despite this rational line of thought, Luo Feng was still holding out on a sliver of a chance that there would be something interesting contained within these chests.

With Li Shishi’s assistance, Luo Feng had changed into a new set of clothes.

Li Shishi did not voice a single complaint as she did so, and it gave off the impression that they were truly lovers.

However, Luo Feng did not share this sentiment. In his eyes, Li Shishi was just a regular woman, albeit one who was very considerate.

“Hahaha, we’ve arrived at everyone’s favorite part of the stream – opening treasure chests! Are you all excited to see what’s inside?”
