Chapter 672: 404, Poseidon_4 Chapter 672: 404, Poseidon_4 Old John said joyfully, “Right here, we’ll drop 80 crab cages, each spaced 400 feet apart!”
At that mont, he hadn’t realized that his poor acting skills hadn’t fooled the captain of the Long Tail, and the Tiger Whale and the Alps were also on their way.
Qing Chen whispered to Young Young, “Are there still many crabs below?”
Young Young silently sensed, wanting to report an exact number like Qing Chen, which would seem impressive.
However, after counting for a long ti, she did not figure it out, so she simply answered, “A lot.”
Qing Chen, “…Did that answer take a long ti to think about?”
Young Young calmly said, “I’m a bit tired.”
Qing Chen didn’t dwell on the detail, turning to Old John, “Let’s lower all the crab cages. I see that Long Tail won’t just leave easily, and if they co back to play a prank, it could affect the Arctic’s earnings.”
Old John was about to object, but he realized sothing was off with Qing Chen and Young Young and pondered for a mont before asking, “Do you think I didn’t fool them just now?”
Qing Chen seriously said, “The performance elent was too obvious, the body language a bit stiff, the language expression not rich enough…”
Old John was stunned for a mont, as if he were receiving a critique and you were acting like a professional actor.
Before he could make a decision, Qing Chen had already picked up the deck phone and said to Zhang Jian, “Zhang Jian, circle at 15 knots. We’re going to deploy all the crab cages here!”
Zhang Jian was taken aback, “What did Old John say?”
Old John, who had been silent for a long ti, said, “Do as he says.”
After hanging up the phone, Old John looked deeply at Qing Chen, not knowing since when this rookie sailor, who had been laughed at by everyone in the port, had beco the backbone of the Arctic.
The Arctic slowly started moving.
Usually, crab catchers cast their nets wide, dropping 30 crab cages here, then moving several miles away to deploy another 30, as the number of king crabs in the sa area was limited.
After dropping the crab cages, they would go sowhere else to wander and co back after eight hours to haul up the crab cages.
But now it was different, knowing this was the Golden Crab Farm, they would drop all the cages and not leave!
Qing Chen’s plan was simple; he believed the Long Tail would definitely return, so they planned to stand guard here!
This was their Golden Crab Farm!
Night fell.
The deck of the Arctic was brightly lit, everyone sat in the cabin, waiting for the ti to haul up all the crab cages to see just how fruitful their catch was.
Only Qing Chen and Young Young still stood on the deck, swaying with the ship but always standing firm.
The anchor was dropped, and Zhang Jian, for once, had the chance to sit peacefully in the cabin and eat sothing.
He quietly watched the silhouette of the young couple on the deck, realizing only today that these two individuals… might have so issues.
Old John took the opportunity during the al to tell him a lot of things, resulting in Zhang Jian’s look towards them changing.
Who could have thought, these two rookie sailors, who had been mocked at the port for two days, would lead them to the Golden Crab Farm?!
Moreover, Old John ntioned that Qing Chen had grabbed a falling crab cage with one hand… This was a bit incredible, and Zhang Jian was still skeptical.
But just as he was looking at their backs, suddenly, Qing Chen turned around, “They’re here.”
Zhang Jian put down his dinner plate and walked up to the deck, looking outside, “I don’t see the lighthouse on the ship, John, is there anything on the radar?”
Old John replied, “No.”
Qing Chen said, “Then they must have turned off the lights and radar to get close. No good intentions.”
Zhang Jian grew tense.
Then, he just watched as Qing Chen, standing on the bitterly cold deck, took off his heavy work clothes, leaving only a pair of swim trunks.
“You… what are you doing?” Zhang Jian was stunned, his opponent was already wearing swim trunks underneath?!
The next mont, Qing Chen leaped into the icy water, without a wetsuit, without an oxygen tank, just plunged in.
In an instant, Zhang Jian felt like he was watching DC’s movie “Aquaman”!
Zhang Jian stuttered, looking at Young Young, “He… he!”
Young Young laughed in the dark, “Don’t worry, he’s fine.”
