Chapter 264

The thing in front of him was black and inconspicuous, but for some reason, Lin Bai was sure that this was the mineral energy that was mentioned in the news.

He sped up and looked around the seabed, but he found that this place could not be described as the seabed.

He could even feel traces of human existence in some places.

A small land that disappeared into the seabed after the Earth’s crust moved?

This thought flashed through Bai Lin’s mind.

The oxygen in the oxygen tank was running out. If they didn’t return soon, everyone would be worried.

Thinking of this, Bai Lin picked up a few small stones containing mineral energy and began to dive.

On the surface of the sea, seeing that the oxygen content was gradually decreasing, everyone was about to ask the coach to inform Bai Lin to come back when they found that Bai Lin was already diving upward. They all breathed a sigh of relief.

The coach nodded in satisfaction and said, “This kid really knows how to adapt to the situation.”

After about half an hour, Lin Bai emerged from the surface of the sea. Soon, someone on the speedboat picked him up, changed his equipment, and returned to the cruise ship.

Everyone admired Lin Bai for being able to stay in the middle of the sea for such a long time. They all surrounded him, wanting to say a few words of praise.

However, they saw Lin Bai holding a few broken stones and stroking them like treasures. At the same time, he gave an order to the crew member beside him.

The crew member hesitated for a moment and turned to leave.

Yu Jinmo rushed over and asked with concern, “Are you alright? Is there any danger at the bottom of the sea?”

Lin Bai smiled and shook his head. “There are quite a lot of fish here, and most of them have never seen humans before. They only treat me as a strange fish that suddenly appeared. Few of them take care of me.”

As he spoke, Lin Bai continued, “However, I discovered that the bottom of the sea might once have been land. There are some faint traces of humans that can still be seen. It’s probably a small island that wasn’t discovered thousands of years ago or something.”

Everyone looked around at the surrounding seawater and imagined the navigation technology from thousands of years ago. They agreed with Lin Bai’s words.

One of them said regretfully, “If it weren’t for my lack of physical fitness, I would really like to dive down and take a look.”

Another person said excitedly, “Why don’t we mark the coordinates and come here again next time?”

Lin Bai thought that they probably wouldn’t have a chance, but he smiled and said, “I’ve already asked the crew to mark it, but the climate of the high seas is changeable. We might not be able to come here next time.”

Everyone felt a little regretful. They only discussed a few more words before they formed their own teams and started playing again.

Lin Bai handed a stone to Yu Jinmo and said in a low voice, “Keep it well.”

Yu Jinmo looked at the stone and asked in amusement, “Whose gift-giving method did you learn from?”

Yu Jinmo had heard a lot about the story of giving a stone, but he didn’t expect Lin Bai to do the same one day.

Lin Bai didn’t elaborate and only said, “My intuition tells me that this stone is very useful. I’ll leave a piece for you as a souvenir.”

Yu Jinmo knew that Lin Bai’s intuition was very accurate after countless experiences.

She solemnly found a box and placed the stone in it before carefully putting it into her suitcase.

When everyone saw Yu Jinmo’s actions, they all snickered and teased, “Falling in love really makes people change a lot!”

Yu Jinmo’s face was slightly red, but he did not quibble.

Lin Bai had indeed made her change a lot.

In the past, she only wanted to be a baby bird that grew up under her father’s wings. But after experiencing so much, she understood that Yu Jianhao would also grow old and need someone to protect him.

As his daughter, she naturally had to grow up slowly, change, and finally become stronger.

After staying on the cruise ship for a few more days, everyone also encountered some uninhabited islands. After a cautious and novel exploration, everyone felt that they had been at sea for too long and felt a little unwell.

Fortunately, the cruise ship was fully equipped, so there were no accidents on the cruise ship.

Of course, after someone fell sick, everyone prepared to navigate.

After more than half a month of contact with real land, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

One person sighed, “This is the real feeling of being grounded.”

Another person also said, “When the various countries were running around, I didn’t think much of it. After staying at sea for more than half a month, I actually had the urge to return home.”

Everyone nodded.

Under the influence of Lin Bai and Yu Jinmo, they watched as the two of them reported their safety to their families every day, and even shared their experiences with their families every day. They were envious.

This made them feel a little homesick.

After bidding farewell to everyone, only Lin Bai and Yu Jinmo were left at the port.

Lin Bai asked, “Do you want to see Old Master Ye? We haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Yu Jinmo guessed that Lin Bai probably had something to discuss with Old Master Ye, and he really missed that Old Master Ye who seemed to have a bad temper but was kind to others.

Yu jinmo nodded and said, “It’s indeed time to go. We’ll let our family know on the way. Let’s go now. When we’re done, we’ll go home. We’ll stay at home for a while before school starts.”

In the capital.

Old Master Ye was very happy to see Yu Jingmo and Lin Bai coming together. His serious face also had a smile.

As usual, Lin Bai took Old Master Ye’s pulse.

“Old Master Ye, at your age, you have to refrain from eating,”Lin Bai said helplessly. “You have to eat some things less, such as desserts, meat, and so on…”

Old Master Ye snorted and said, “At my age, every day is a day. Previously, because of my health, I haven’t had a good meal for many years. Now You Want to stop me?”

“Besides, this old man is also an aristocratic family with a medical heritage. How can he not know what’s good for him? Don’t worry.”

Lin Bai could only beg for mercy. “I’m just worried about you, right? Since you know what’s good for you, I won’t say anymore.”

Old Master Ye nodded in satisfaction. He took a cup of warm sugar water and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Lin Bai put away his cheeky smile and said seriously, “Yes.”

After saying that, Lin Bai took out the stone and told him its origin. Then he said to Old Master Ye, “I suspect that the mineral energy in this stone will be of great use to the development of Blue Planet. However, that place is on the high seas. When the time comes, it will definitely be divided among many countries through negotiations.”

“Before that, should we secretly dig some? After all, there is no shortage of new mineral energy.”

Old Master Ye looked at the stone and asked, “If you want to test it, you can find an organization to do it yourself. Why do you need to find an old man to do it?”

Lin Bai smiled and said honestly, “Because your identity makes some things faster and easier to carry out. Moreover, I’m currently being targeted by some people with ulterior motives. Some actions are not suitable to be taken too far.”

After listening to Lin Bai’s explanation, Old Master Ye nodded and put the box away. He said, “It’s good that you think so.”

Then, Old Master Ye asked again, “Tell me more specifically, where do you think this stone might be suitable for use?”

This was his trust in Lin Bai. Old Master Ye knew that Lin Bai had extraordinary abilities. Since Lin Bai thought that it would be useful, he might as well be more specific and save some time in the process.

Lin Bai’s eyes flashed. He hesitated for a moment before saying honestly, “Spaceflight.”
