Chapter 548: Chapter 342: Frantically Collecting Shells at Sea

The interior of the ship was naturally fitted out to the highest specifications.

Soon, Hu Xiangdong sent over the budget, which was around twenty-four million.

As for the ship, his side would reserve it in the name of the shipyard first, and they could only get it by next June, which was considered quite fast.

Chu Mingcheng had no objection, during this time he could just learn sailing techniques and how to maintain various equipment on the sailboat.

He would also settle the money he owed Hu Xiangdong as well as for the ship.

So for the next more than half a year, he needed to earn at least thirty million, but luckily he was earning money quickly now, so there was no need to worry.

When Jiang Luoluo came home in the evening, the two discussed how to get their families to agree to their plan of sailing around the world and which route to take first.

Some places could be skipped, but they definitely wanted to visit both poles.

They wouldn’t have the ship until June, so visiting the Arctic would mean arriving in winter, when it would be freezing and with little scenery to enjoy.

It might be better to visit Antarctica first, since its weather is the opposite of the Arctic’s, with June being wintertime there.

Typically, they would reach Antarctica around December, just in time for summer, which would be nice for sightseeing.

Having roughly decided on their route, which countries they would pass through would be figured out later.

Jiang Luoluo also had a task, which was to research the maritime entry policies of various countries.

Which countries were visa-free and which required a visa application in advance needed to be checked to avoid being denied entry or detained during their travels.

As a couple, they split the tasks: the next day Chu Mingcheng went to a sailboat club recommended by Hu Xiangdong to learn the necessary driving and repair techniques.

During his studies, he also found time to go with Jiang Luoluo to a bridal shop to reserve their wedding dress and suits.

For men, two suits were enough, but women needed one more.

One for the outdoor wedding dress, which is the traditional wedding attire.

And another for the grand wedding dress and the toast dress during the ceremony.

They planned to marry before their trip in June next year, so they needed to prepare the clothes now to avoid last-minute rushing.

When Chu Mingcheng saw Jiang Luoluo trying on several wedding dresses, he felt even more that she needed a pearl necklace he had opened himself.

His physical improvement had somewhat boosted his intelligence, so he was learning quite fast at the club, saving quite a bit of time.

On December 13th, he arranged with the club to take ten days off.

During these ten days, Chu Mingcheng planned to do something big at sea, so he pinged everyone in the chat group.

"Dear friends, I found three great spots on the Public Sea, with two types of shells that can produce pearls. Is anyone interested in coming to open some pearls with me?"

Chen Yang: "?? Pearls?"

Chu Mingcheng: "Yes, not the worthless pearls from river clams, but the valuable ones from White Butterfly Shells and Golden Butterfly Shells. The chance of finding them is pretty high!"

After speaking, he also took the liberty of photographing some pearls he had previously harvested and shared them in the group.

The glowing, translucent pearls immediately elicited gasps from the other two women in the group.

Zhang Youning: "Wow, they’re so beautiful and so big!"

Bai Jing: "Which woman could resist? @Zhang Wei, stop selling fish and take me to harvest some pearls."

Zhang Wei: "Alright, my boss lady, I’ll be right there."

Jiang Luoluo also saw the photos, but she was somewhat startled.

She had known about the pearls since they thought Chu Mingcheng had found them in a sunken ship, never expecting they were harvested from shells, which instantly piqued her interest.

"So you harvested these pearls yourself, huh? I was wondering where they came from!"

Chu Mingcheng: "When you were trying on the wedding dresses, I felt you were missing a beautiful pearl necklace. Rather than giving you a surprise, I thought it might be more meaningful for us to get involved and make a pearl necklace together."

Jiang Luoluo: "You really know me~"

The other four looked on as the couple flirted, all sharing an image akin to old people checking phones on the subway.

Zhang Youning: "Ah Yang, do you understand me?"

Chen Yang: "Wife, of course I understand you; we’ll go shell fishing at sea tomorrow!"

Zhang Wei: "Honey, is one necklace enough? If not, we’ll work hard to make a couple more."

Bai Jing: "Dear, you really get me~"

Chu Mingcheng: "..."

Jiang Luoluo: "..."

The next day, six people gathered at the pier and boarded the Sea God.

Only Chu Mingcheng’s boat could go to the Public Sea, Chen Yang’s was just a second class fishing boat, which couldn’t go that far.

Holding Zhang Youning’s hand, Chen Yang sighed, "It’s been a while since all of us gathered together, hasn’t it?"

Zhang Wei stretched lazily, looking sleepy: "No kidding, too busy to meet!"

"Well, if we squeeze out some time, we can always make it!" Chu Mingcheng said as he came over after untying the ropes, "You guys go rest in the cabin, especially Ah Wei, make sure you’re well-rested so you don’t fall asleep in the sea!"

Zhang Wei: "Come on, can’t you hope for something better for me?"

Joking and laughing, each found a spot to rest, except for Chu Mingcheng and Jiang Luoluo who went to the cockpit.

The Sea God originally had only two rooms, which wasn’t enough.

But considering Jiang Luoluo was starting to work behind the scenes, they had transformed the dance room into the master bedroom, which was now spacious enough.

After sailing for one day, the Sea God anchored on the south side of Treasure Island, near the Bashe Channel.
