I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier

Chapter 683: Just Wanted Five Pieces

Moreover, Ye Chen was astonished to see that, right in front of him, a wooden board began sliding to the side, and eventually, a staircase leading downwards automatically sprang out.

Ye Chen's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that there was a hidden mechanism here; apparently, all their activities must have been concealed beneath this room.

"Come on, follow me inside."

Zhui Feng beckoned Ye Chen with a wave of his hand, and then, Ye Chen followed him, step by step, down the stairs.

Just after descending the stairs, the interior became brightly lit. He looked down to see only a staircase beneath him, and beyond that, he saw nothing else.

A few steps forward, and the floor behind them was slowly sealed off.

When they reached the end of the staircase, he saw a massive iron door, which even had some display screens on it. Ye Chen realized this must be a sophisticated security measure.

Zhui Feng simply clapped his hands lightly, then began to wave them vigorously above.

He tapped out an unknown sequence of passwords, followed by a facial recognition system that swayed back and forth in front of him.

The entire identification process lasted a full 5 minutes, probably the most secure door Ye Chen had ever seen.

Finally, the heavy door opened slowly.

Once it was open, all the lights inside came on at once, revealing a very special room of about 100 square meters.

The four walls of the room were filled with various cabinets, and inside these cabinets, each held a finely crafted box.

"Come on, inside are some Hidden Weapons and modern firearms that we've collected over the years, in total, 1373 items of all sizes.

"Over a thousand items?"

"That's right, some of the world's top-notch stuff. The cabinets at the very back hold the most expensive items, with prices decreasing as you move outward. Anyway, I don't know what you like, so just take your time and look around. I'll wait for you here. Pick a few items you like, don't worry too much, as long as you like them, move them all over here. If you're interested, today, I'm giving them all to you."

After speaking, Zhui Feng gently patted Ye Chen on the shoulder.

Truly, Ye Chen felt overwhelmingly flattered.

"What's wrong, why are you still standing there? This is a great opportunity given by the old master. And let me tell you, besides me and the old master, no one else can come in here, and no one else has the authority to use these weapons. Today, you're the first to get the green light. Go ahead and have a proper look."

Since he had such a good opportunity, Ye Chen was certainly going to grasp it firmly, and then he walked further inside.

He discovered that each box likely contained one weapon, complete with usage instructions and detailed explanations.

Some weapons were quite large, thus their boxes were also big, while others were so small they were only about the size of a palm.

He opened each item to have a brief look. Fortunately, each cabinet had a general introduction on display, so at least Ye Chen could know whether these weapons were of any use to him.

If he found something interesting, Ye Chen would open it and take another look. If he really took a liking to it and felt it was practical, he would take it out and put it in a central location.

With over a thousand items, strictly speaking, it would waste a lot of time to look at them one by one.

Luckily, things got straight to the point, and he also knew clearly what he wanted. Roughly an hour later, he selected about three to five tools he liked.

"Alright, I'm done."

He looked up and saw Zhui Feng still sitting there waiting for him.

"What, that's it? Out of a thousand items, you've only picked out five. Why not take another look? This is a perfect opportunity, I tell you, you might be able to come in for the first time, but there's no guarantee you'll get a second chance, you know?"

After hearing this, Ye Chen just nodded with a smile. He wasn't a greedy person; he only wanted what suited him. Regardless of whether other items were worth a fortune or not, Ye Chen wouldn't consider them.

"Just these, the rest don't mean much to me."

"Alright then, suit yourself. Come on, I'll take you out."

Saying that, the two of them bent down to pick up the selected items from the ground and then left the treasure trove below.

Zhui Feng led Ye Chen out, and then they finally returned to where the boss, Liuye, was.

At the moment, Liuye had been waiting there all along.

"Liuye, the person has been seen off."

"Good, how much did he take?"

"Only five items, and the value wasn't very high."

"I knew it, Ye Chen isn't a greedy person. He only took what was useful to him."

"Liuye, honestly speaking, it's rare to see a person of such character these years. But I worry that as Ye Chen gradually uncovers the truth, the day will come when he will unearth what's been going on."

"No need to worry, I've been mentally prepared for this because sooner or later, we can't keep it from Ye Chen. But I feel it's better if he finds out on his own because all along, we've done nothing wrong, right?"

"Liuye, do we just sit here and wait, without doing anything? Entrust such a big matter to a young man?"

"What other options do we have? Can we provoke that group? We're no match for them. But Ye Chen is taking a calculated risk. I think it shouldn't be too troublesome. Even if we can't achieve our goal in the end, at least it will catch the other party off guard."

Hearing this, Zhui Feng simply nodded gently.
