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 289 What is his name?

"oh."

Li Kaichun weighed each cloth bag in his hand, taking out the ones that felt a bit heavy.

"These are all alright, they have some weight to them, and this one is a bit..."

As Li Kaichun weighed the bag in his hand, he was suddenly startled.

"Holy crap, this is so heavy! It's clearly not even in the same league!"

Li Kaichun quickly handed the cloth bag to his sister and said.

Seeing Li Kaichun's startled reaction, Li Erchun scoffed and took it, saying, "It's so heavy, yet it's enough to startle you like this."

"Um?"

However, Li Erchun was also surprised when he received it.

"My God, this is so heavy! Is it all cargo? How heavy is this?" Li Erchun said incredulously.

This single cloth bag weighs almost as much as the other twenty bags combined, no wonder Li Kaichun was so startled.

"Could there be stones in here, playing tricks on us?" Li Kaichun wondered.

After all, it's understandable if you're three to five times heavier than others, but if you're twenty times heavier, you're just too outstanding.

"What's this person's name?" Li Erchun asked, frowning.

Upon hearing this, Li Kaichun took out a small notebook and checked the names and numbers.

"This man's name is Wang Lei. I think I remember him. He's the one who always wears camouflage," Li Kaichun recalled.

"Keep a close eye on them, and how much do you estimate these goods are worth?" Li Erchun kept weighing his options and guessing.

"It's hard to say. Who knows how much gold and silver he panned? The price of gold and silver is worlds apart for the same weight. But judging from what I bought, it's probably worth more than 20,000."

Li Kaichun compared the goods he bought with the products.

"More than 20,000, that's not a small amount. It seems some people are really lucky. Luckily, I prepared 120,000 worth of goods, otherwise something really might have gone wrong."

Li Erchun felt a little relieved when he heard the numbers. Although more than 20,000 a day was a lot, it would be difficult for him to surpass that.

"Ugh, this is heavy too, wow!"

Li Kaichun took out another cloth bag from inside, weighed it back and forth, and stared at her sister with wide eyes.

"Let me see."

Li Erchun quickly took it, but after weighing it in his hand for a moment, he felt relieved.

"Don't be so alarmed. This one isn't even as heavy as Wang Lei's. What's the rush?" Li Erchun glared at him and said.

"They don't seem as heavy as Wang Lei's, but they're not light either," Li Kaichun said, taking the two bags and weighing them in his hands.

"It's not light, but as long as it doesn't exceed the limit, we don't need to worry. I estimate this bag is worth a little over 20,000. Can you tell whose it is?"

Li Erchun thought about it and said...

“This… is called Chen Feng,” Li Kaichun replied, looking up.

"Yes, just keep a close eye on him. The main thing to watch is Wang Lei; he probably has the most right now." Li Erchun nodded.

“Indeed, Chen Feng’s bag is quite large, but it feels a little lighter than Wang Lei’s, unless it’s full of gold nuggets, hahaha.” Li Kaichun threw the bag back and laughed.

"They're all big gold nuggets, aren't they? They wish they could dig up so many big gold nuggets, humph." Li Erchun chuckled softly, then stood up and stretched.

"Go to sleep, you're sleepy. Go back and take the night shift." Li Erchun shooed Li Kaichun out.

"oh."

The next morning, the group set off earlier because some people felt that the second group was not suitable and would take too long.

So this time, Li Kaichun got up even earlier to send them off, trying to make sure each of them could have enough time to shop for twelve hours.

Chen Feng wasn't in a hurry. After he finished washing up and went out for a while, Li Kaichun drove back and started the second trip.

This time, Chen Feng asked Li Kaichun to take him a little further away, in a different direction than yesterday.

After getting off the car, Chen Feng quickly assessed the direction and then carried his tools forward.

Wang Lei was also on the same train as Chen Feng.

This time, he was still the last to get off the bus, letting Li Kaichun drive in the designated direction.

Li Kaichun couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

"Dude, why do you always ask for specific spots? Have you been here before?" Li Kaichun asked casually.

Although he pretended to be just chatting casually, he couldn't fool the old fox Wang Lei at all.

He knew that Li Erchun and his group already knew about his goods and had begun to notice him.

"Do you believe in feng shui?" Wang Lei asked.

"Um...it's hard to say. How can gold panning be related to feng shui?"

This sentence left Li Kaichun completely dumbfounded.

“This direction aligns with my own. I used the I Ching and Bagua to calculate it last night, which is why I requested to come here.”

Li Kaichun glanced back at Wang Lei, only to find that his expression didn't seem like he was joking at all, leaving him somewhat skeptical.

"Oh, I see."

"Hey, just put this down for me," Wang Lei said, looking out the window.

After he got out of the car, Wang Lei looked around seriously in front of Li Kaichun, even counting the sun on his fingers, as if he were really looking for some location.

With his messy appearance, at first glance he actually looked quite convincing, like a madman.

On his way back, Li Kaichun kept turning back to look at Wang Lei, completely bewildered.

After he left, Wang Lei couldn't help but chuckle and walked towards the river.

"This idiot actually believed it, didn't he?"

He wanted to confuse Li Erchun and his group, making them unable to figure out what was going on.

By the time they realized they were being tricked, he had already left with the goods.

Today he wants to thoroughly explore this largest river channel and strive to earn over 100,000 yuan in total revenue.

From the sky, Chen Feng was not far away from him, and Chen Feng was heading in a similar direction to Wang Lei, at an angle.

If they continue like this, they'll run into each other sooner or later.

"bite!"

Chen Feng received a notification from the system. After looking around, he discovered that this place was actually a double-yolk egg, containing two pieces of goods.

One was in front, and the other was behind, with a difference of more than ten meters between them.

"That's right, it's been a long time since I've encountered a double-yolk egg."

Chen Feng first walked to the front, put down the detector, squatted down, and started digging a hole with a shovel.

He shoveled the soil out one shovelful at a time, and soon a pit was formed. When Chen Feng felt it was about right, he switched to a small shovel to remove the soil.

With just a few shovelfuls, Chen Feng found the goods. He gently shook the shovel and then put it through the detector.

Once it was almost done, he started to rummage through it.

Soon, a small silver granule appeared in Chen Feng's hand.

The silver granules were worth about several tens of yuan. Chen Feng blew on them and put them in the bottle, then turned around to find his second piece of silver.

Picking up a shovel, Chen Feng started digging a hole. He quickly dug out a small mound of earth, and felt that was about right.

So I switched to a small shovel and started shoveling the soil away, one shovelful at a time.

This time it was quite easy; the goods were found on the first shovel.
