Chapter 75 What kind of divine seafood is this?
Meanwhile, in the hotel kitchen.
Executive Chef Luo Yi sat anxiously by the aquatic tank, repeatedly checking the oxygen levels inside.
The seafood in the tank was his only hope for tonight's feast.
4:25 PM.
A deep engine sound came from the river in the distance, growing louder and louder as it approached.
At first, many people thought it was a fishing boat at sea, but as the sound became clearer, a sense of oppression followed.
A huge, dark blue ship came cutting through the waves.
Poseidon
Many people stared wide-eyed at the ship in disbelief.
"That...that's the Poseidon?"
"The ship is back, but what about the cargo?"
Ghost Hand stubbornly insisted.
"A large ship doesn't necessarily mean it has cargo; it might just be an empty ship coming back to make a show of it."
He gave a wink to the two security guards lying in wait in the unloading area, signaling them to accidentally break the water tank during the handling.
The Poseidon slowly docked, its massive hull almost taking up the entire pier.
Lin Chen stood on the bow deck, looking down at the dark mass of people below.
His eyes were cold and expressionless.
Zhou Dazhuang skillfully operated the robotic arm, steadily lifting a huge, fully enclosed, temperature-controlled hibernation chamber.
The hibernation pod has a metallic sheen on the outside and a stable internal temperature of minus sixty degrees Celsius.
With the movement of the robotic arm, the hibernation pod slammed heavily onto the unloading platform with a heavy whistling sound.
"Bang."
With a muffled thud, the platform sank slightly.
Lin Chen leaped off the deck in one swift motion, and Tang Zhen quickly came to meet him.
"Where's the goods, Mr. Lin? How much longer?"
Tang Zhen asked urgently.
Lin Chen pressed the pressure relief valve on the hibernation pod.
"hiss--"
A thick mist carrying the chilling scent of the deep sea gushed out from the pressure relief valve and spread outwards.
The mist, carrying the salty tang of the sea and a pure scent from the deep ocean, spread rapidly through the air, causing the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
The suppliers watching instinctively took a step back, their faces showing astonishment.
That aura was both so familiar and so unusual.
This doesn't smell like ordinary seafood.
Ghost Hand's face turned ashen. He had originally thought that Lin Chen would bring out a few ordinary large boxes, and then his men would be able to take the opportunity to make a mistake.
However, the enormous hibernation pod before him, and the overwhelming aura of the deep sea, made his heart sink.
He had only smelled this aroma at some high-end seafood auctions, and those were all specially treated.
"What...what is this?"
Tang Zhen was stunned by that aura.
"Goods delivered."
Lin Chen didn't explain further, he just looked at the hibernation pod.
"Quick, open it."
Tang Zhen was full of anticipation.
Ghost Hand gritted his teeth and gave his two security guards a wink.
The two men were already prepared. As soon as they saw the hibernation pod being lowered, they rushed over, pretending to help push it, but actually aiming at the side of the hibernation pod.
Be careful.
"Ghost Hand!" Ghost Hand shouted, his voice laced with feigned concern.
The two security guards worked together seamlessly, one pushing hard while the other pretended to help, intending to push the hibernation pod toward the edge of the platform.
Just as the hibernation pod was about to be pushed off course, Zhou Dazhuang activated the mechanical arm's locking mechanism.
The hibernation pod remained completely still.
"Bang."
The two security guards lost their footing and fell heavily to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
Snickers erupted from the crowd.
Ghost Hand never expected Lin Chen to have this trick up his sleeve.
Lin Chen nodded to Zhou Dazhuang.
"The second one."
Zhou Dazhuang responded, and the second huge hibernation pod was hoisted up.
Lin Chen didn't let it crash directly onto the platform. Instead, he had Zhou Dazhuang slowly land it on an open area near the hotel entrance.
"hiss--"
The pressure relief valve of the second hibernation chamber was also opened.
A thicker mist of water gushed out, carrying a distinct deep-sea scent and even a hint of cold sulfur.
This scent made the surrounding air feel fresher, as if you were in the morning mist at the seaside.
"What kind of seafood is this? It smells so fresh?"
"I've never smelled anything like this before. It smells like something that's just been pulled from the sea, and from a very deep sea."
The suppliers were buzzing with discussion.
They knew that something that could emit such an aura was no ordinary thing.
Tang Zhen was filled with anticipation.
"This...this taste..."
Executive Chef Luo Yi could no longer contain himself and quickly walked out.
When he smelled that scent, he was completely stunned.
He walked quickly to the first hibernation pod, held his breath, and sniffed it carefully.
"Impossible...this...this aura..."
Luo Yi muttered to himself, his face full of shock.
Ghost Hand's heart skipped a beat when he saw Luo Yi's reaction.
Things might be going to get worse.
Lin Chen remained standing there calmly, watching everything unfold.
"Second one, open."
Lin Chen said to Zhou Dazhuang.
Zhou Dazhuang understood and initiated the hatch opening procedure for the second hibernation pod.
"Click—"
With a slight mechanical sound, the hibernation pod's hatch slowly slid open.
An even more powerful mist poured out, carrying the chilling aura unique to the deep sea.
This fog was thicker and purer than before, filling the entire square with the fresh scent of the deep sea.
The suppliers watching, including Ghost Hand and the two security guards he brought, all instinctively held their breath.
They had never smelled such pure and fresh seafood before.
The aroma rushed straight into my nasal cavity, creating a powerful sensation.
"Oh My God……"
"What is this?"
"This taste...it's absolutely amazing."
A gasp of surprise erupted from the crowd.
Tang Zhen's body trembled slightly with excitement. He looked at the rising mist and felt his heart was about to leap out of his chest.
"Lin Chen..."
He looked at Lin Chen, his voice hoarse.
"This...this is..."
Lin Chen did not answer; he simply watched quietly.
At this moment, Luo Yi suddenly exclaimed. He didn't care about anything else and rushed to the second hibernation pod.
He reached out and carefully parted the dispersing mist to look inside the hibernation pod.
"It's...it's them."
Luo Yi's voice changed due to excitement.
"It's two sea cucumbers. And...and live bluefin tuna belly."
Two-headed sea cucumber, active bluefin tuna belly.
Judging from this scent alone, their freshness is simply unimaginable.
Ghost Hand's face turned pale instantly.
"Impossible...this is impossible..."
Ghost Hand muttered to himself, his eyes filled with despair.
Lin Chen revealed a barely perceptible smile.
"Mr. Tang, your goods have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, the suppliers who were watching erupted into an even louder discussion.
Those who had previously mocked Lin Chen were now filled with shock, envy, and even jealousy.
Tang Zhen looked at Lin Chen, then at the two hibernation pods.
"Mr. Lin... what... what kind of method is this? This novelty... it's simply..."
The suppliers watching, especially those who had previously mocked Lin Chen, all had complicated expressions on their faces.
They looked at Lin Chen with eyes full of awe.
"This kid... he really did it?"
"How is this possible? Five hours to retrieve such a valuable item from the deep sea?"
"This smell... I swear, I've never smelled such fresh seafood in my entire life."
Ghost Hand watched all this unfold and realized he had lost completely.
The ambushes he laid were utterly ineffective against his superior strength.
Looking at Lin Chen, there was resentment in his eyes, but even more so, fear.
"Mr. Tang, please inspect the goods according to the agreement."
Tang Zhen gestured for Luo Yi to step forward.
Luo Yi personally verified these priceless ingredients.
