"Sir, you have excellent taste. The person you're giving this gift to will be overjoyed when they see it," the salesperson said with a smile.

"Her wish was to have a cinnamon dog friend to keep her company, and now her wish can come true," Chen Feng said with a smile.

The salesperson took a pretty packaging bag, wrapped the big cinnamon dog in it, and tied it with a ribbon.

"Sir, that'll be 120 in total." The sales clerk scanned Chen Feng's phone with a barcode scanner.

"OK."

Chen Feng carried the large cinnamon dog back to the car.

After opening the trunk, Chen Feng carefully cleaned a spot and placed the cinnamon dog on it.

Chen Feng couldn't help but smile when he thought of Duo Duo's delighted expression when she saw the cinnamon dog.

If Duoduo is happy, her illness will definitely get better faster.

After that, he went to the supermarket to buy some supplies before driving back to the abandoned mine.

By the time they got back to the abandoned mine, it was already past four o'clock. This time, Huang Fei didn't listen to the novel; instead, he sat on the steps of the van and smoked.

Upon seeing Chen Feng return, he couldn't help but stand up.

"You're back! What delicious food did you buy? Do you have any spicy strips for me?" Huang Fei didn't stand on ceremony and went to the back of the car to rummage around.

As soon as Huang Fei opened the trunk, he saw the big cinnamon dog.

"Oh my, what's this? Why did you buy a doll? And it's so big! Which girl are you going to give it to? Is it the one from the Bai family?" Huang Fei asked with a gossipy grin.

"This is a secret between her and me. Go away and don't pry," Chen Feng said, tossing him a bag of spicy strips.

"Still not talking? You're so stingy." Huang Fei scoffed and stuffed a spicy snack into his mouth.

That evening, Chen Feng told them about the detector's status.

"The large detector costs 7,200 yuan, which is almost the best. It can prevent radiation and resist interference. I think it has some other functions, but I don't remember them."

"But most importantly, it can probe to a depth of 120 centimeters, which is deeper than the old man's."

"Seven thousand two, that's a bit expensive." Although Zheng Ping had decided to buy it, he couldn't help but grin when he heard the price.

"But the effect is much better than our little gadget. It can actually probe 1.2 meters. Damn, that's almost the same as ours. It can basically last a lifetime if it doesn't break down," someone couldn't help but say.

"Can I get a discount if I buy more this time?" Yin Xing asked.

"I don't know, I didn't ask, but I guess it's definitely possible. Buying six or seven at once, even in a big gold rush market like Qiuling City, it's hard to find that many, right?" Chen Feng pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Yes, we can definitely talk to them. Let's visit a few more places and see which one is the cheapest," Zheng Ping suggested.

"Sure, any discount would be appreciated."

"By the way, are you guys planning to stay here and shop around for a few more days?" Chen Feng asked, turning to look at everyone.

"I estimate it will only take another two or three days to gather enough supplies," Zheng Ping said after calculating the quantities.

"It's nothing special. I've really stayed quite a while this time. Even though it rained one day and I didn't get to shop, it's still worth it." Yin Xing nodded. This time, he's been shopping here for almost ten days, almost over.

"By the way, Fengzi, are you taking tomorrow off?" Zheng Ping asked.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng asked curiously, looking up.

"The place we went to today seems to have the goods buried quite deep. After digging out the goods on the surface, when we used a detector to probe in the pit, sometimes there were even more goods on the left and right sides."

"I suspect there's more than this much; there might be more underneath."

"The key issue is that our detectors are inadequate; we don't know where the goods are, and we can't possibly dig up the entire area by 20 or 30 centimeters before we start exploring."

"I was thinking that if you're panning for gold tomorrow, your detector is better than ours and can go deeper, so why don't you go and check it again? Just in case there's something down there, don't waste it."

Zheng Ping felt a pang of heartache at the thought that the goods might have been missed. He didn't care who found them, as long as it was one of them.

“Hey Feng, go check it out. That place has a lot of stuff. I reckon there’s a lot more down there, maybe even a huge shipment.” Yin Xing also looked at Chen Feng from the side.

"Okay, let's go take a look."

Chen Feng nodded in agreement. Everyone knew there might be a big shipment down there, so why wouldn't they go?

The next day, Chen Feng followed them to the mining area.

Chen Feng, carrying a detector, pretended to probe the mining area.

The sun drew an arc across the sky. Chen Feng was hot and tired, covered in sweat. Of course, the others weren't much better off; they were all in the same sorry state.

To be honest, this location is really good; there's a lot of cargo underneath.

Chen Feng made over 10,000 yuan in this area in one morning, and his income for today is nearly 20,000 yuan.

Seeing Chen Feng carrying the large detector and moving from one to another, everyone was incredibly excited.

It's just that their tools aren't good enough; otherwise, they would all be theirs.

Then I thought about how much cargo they had missed in the abandoned mine with their little detectors.

They clutched their chests, heartbroken, which only strengthened their resolve to buy the large detector.

Around 5 p.m., the group headed back together. Yin Xing urged Chen Feng impatiently, "Fengzi, quickly ask the old man if he'll let us go or not."

"Okay, I'll ask the old man."

Chen Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out his phone, and dialed the old man's number.

"Hello."

The old man's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hey grandpa, it's me. I have a bunch of friends who also want to go to the abandoned mine in the small village to pan for gold. What do you think? If you don't agree, I won't let them go." Chen Feng scratched his head and said with a smile.

"It's alright, go ahead." The old man's voice sounded slightly off.

"Well, when are you going to pan for gold next time, sir? I'll come to your house to find you," Chen Feng asked.

Chen Feng's actions were self-evident; they were due to his agreement with Duo Duo.

"I...I won't be going to pan for gold for the time being." The old man's voice was choked with emotion.

"What do you mean?" Chen Feng noticed the old man's unusual behavior, and his smile gradually faded.

After a long while, the old man's trembling voice finally came from the other end of the phone.

"Duoduo has gone..."

"What did you say!"

The old man's four words struck Chen Feng's mind like a thunderbolt.

In that instant, Chen Feng's mind went blank, and he froze on the spot, staring blankly ahead.

"Duoduo is gone..."

The old man was so grief-stricken that he almost lost his voice, and all that could be heard was his continuous sobbing.

"I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng tried to walk towards his car, but he lost his bearings and bumped into Zheng Ping.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Zheng Ping asked in a panic.

"I have something to do and I'm leaving now. You can go about your business."
