I'm Just Panning for Gold, What Does the Gold Price Drop Have to Do with Me?

Financial crisis, big salary cuts, fresh graduates fighting fiercely for a job paying only 1,200 yuan. Fresh graduate Chen Feng couldn't stand the gap and became a loafer at home, smoking and d...

Chapter 231 The Perfect Rhombus

Because the other side of that item was actually gold.

The two colors are clearly separated by a middle line and appear on one piece of goods.

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, then quickly wiped it clean and kept examining the item.

This piece is a slightly elongated rhombus shape, covered with small bumps all over.

Most importantly, this piece is extremely symmetrical, almost as if it came from the same mold.

Turn it over, and the colors are also separated to the left and right, with the middle as the boundary.

The left side is silver, and the right side is gold.

From Chen Feng's aesthetic point of view, this piece is simply too beautiful. Even a piece with this shape is rare, let alone one that is half gold and half silver.

Most collectible items are either gold-plated silver or silver-plated gold, and even those are very hard to find.

Not to mention that such a perfect half-and-half is extremely rare; Chen Feng had never even heard of it before.

A surprised smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. He quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and rinsed the item.

After the surface mud was washed away, the goods looked even more beautiful, revealing their perfect color and shape.

"Wuhu~"

Chen Feng held the item up to the sun; he really hadn't expected it to be so beautiful.

"How much would this cost? If even this doesn't have any collectible value, then what does?"

Chen Feng didn't know how much this item was worth, because he had never dealt with this kind of thing before.

However, Chen Feng estimated that even if this piece of goods were melted down, its value would still be around five thousand.

Moreover, given its rarity, it wouldn't be unreasonable to ask for at least ten times the price, right?

"It's truly a masterpiece of nature. It would be difficult to even make a piece like it," Chen Feng said, examining the object with great emotion.

After playing for a while, Chen Feng put the goods into his bag, picked them up, and stood up.

He'll inquire about the price of this item later. If there's a lot of it, he'll sell it. If the price isn't right, he'll just keep it for himself.

Anyway, I'm not short of money right now, and I can sell whatever I need when I do need it.

For the time being, Chen Feng's expected price is 100,000; he won't sell for less than 100,000.

Moreover, selling this kind of thing at a high price mainly depends on luck.

Because it has no fixed value and no standard, it depends purely on how much the buyer likes it.

He walked around in the pit again, but this time the system didn't respond. It seemed that he had already dug up all the fish in the pond.

Of course, there might be even bigger cargoes down below, but unfortunately Chen Feng's current system can only probe 80 centimeters, so that's all he can do.

However, Chen Feng was already quite satisfied that this one fishpond could produce so much, not to mention that there was such a rare item.

Chen Feng climbed out through the entrance, and when he looked back at the fishpond, he saw that he had dug several holes in what was originally a neat fishpond, ruining its aesthetic appeal.

Chen Feng smiled, took out water from his bag, and washed his hands thoroughly. The smell was too strong; he had to wash them to avoid tainting his goods with the odor.

After washing his hands, Chen Feng wiped them on his clothes and continued walking outside.

He was distracted as he walked, constantly thinking about his rare diamond-shaped piece. He couldn't help but take it out every now and then to touch it, play with it for a bit, and then put it back.

"bite!"

“There is precious metal within a six-meter radius of the host!”

Chen Feng was still looking down at the goods when he was woken up by a system notification. He first carefully put the goods into his bag, and then looked up and looked around.

Now, Chen Feng can be lost, but this piece of goods cannot be lost.

After taking a moment to assess the situation, Chen Feng turned around and walked forward.

The goods seemed to be a few meters behind him.

Once above the goods, Chen Feng squatted down, took out a shovel, and began digging a hole.

Now he's completely indifferent to what he'll gain next; he's had enough for today, big brother!

Squatting on the ground, he dug out the soil, one shovelful at a time. Chen Feng estimated that the shovelful was about half a meter deep. After digging for a while, a large pit was formed in front of Chen Feng.

Chen Feng pulled over the detector and started sifting through the soil in the pit.

After about four or five shovelfuls, Chen Feng found a piece of the goods.

After shaking it slightly, Chen Feng started to rummage through it.

Soon, Chen Feng found a rickety piece of silver.

The silver ingot is probably worth a little over a hundred.

After Chen Feng took the silver ingot in his hand, he looked it over and shook his head with a series of clicks of his tongue.

"It has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever; it's not as good as my Xiaoling."

If silver ingots could talk, they'd probably all vomit blood.

Why are the requirements for gold panning so high now? You even have to pay attention to the shape?

After putting away the silver ingot, Chen Feng continued walking forward.

After walking for about twenty minutes, Chen Feng wasn't paying attention and suddenly stepped into thin air, sinking straight in.

Holy crap!

Chen Feng reacted quickly and fell to the side, not landing face-first, but sitting on the ground.

"Go to hell with your sister."

Chen Feng pulled his foot out of the pit, wincing in pain.

Because of the weeds growing there, he didn't even see that there was a pit.

I rubbed my legs; they were scratched and red, but it wasn't a big deal.

Chen Feng stood up, rubbed his buttocks, and hissed.

Chen Feng reacted too quickly; he should have just fallen flat on his face. He fell backward and landed on a rock, almost getting smashed in.

However, although he avoided the vital spot, the blow still made Chen Feng's buttocks hurt terribly.

He got up and rubbed his face again before looking into the pit.

This pit looks like a gold prospector's pit, and there's even some excavated soil next to it.

Seeing this, Chen Feng finally realized why he hadn't found anything all day; it turned out that this area had been completely excavated.

Chen Feng, carrying the detector, turned around in a huff.

Who knows who dug this pit? Maybe it was an old man, or maybe it was some other gold prospector.

Although this place is very secluded, it's impossible that only the old man knew about it; other gold prospectors must have come here as well.

This time, Chen Feng paid special attention to whether there were any pits under his feet, so he wouldn't fall in again.

If it's soil, you can usually see a pit from a distance, but on grass, especially if it's not a newly dug pit, with lots of new grass growing around it, it's hard to spot if you're not paying attention.

After changing direction and walking for about ten minutes, Chen Feng's detector beeped, proving that he had changed direction correctly.

Chen Feng looked around, locked onto a corner, and walked straight over.

Once he reached the top of the goods, Chen Feng pulled some grass, then pulled out his pickaxe and started hacking away.

After cutting down most of the trees, Chen Feng switched to a shovel and started digging.

There were still some loose stones in the ground, and Chen Feng dug them out, soil and stones alike.

After working for a short while, Chen Feng felt that the goods were about to come out. He pulled over the detector and started using a small shovel to clear the soil.
