“Okay, if we had that, things would be much more convenient for us,” Li Chunlai nodded and said.

The group almost spilled the food bowl during the meal. When Chen Jianguo was serving the dishes, he was still wondering if they had made too much, as it seemed like they couldn't possibly finish it all.

To everyone's surprise, they ate the whole big bowl of food, and even felt a little unsatisfied at the end.

This was the first time he had ever heard the phrase "a half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home," and it was truly terrifying.

"Did I not do enough? Should I make you something else?" Chen Jianguo asked tentatively.

"No need, I'm already full, what's the point of eating more?" Huang Fei poured the last bit of soup from the bottom of the pot into his bowl, stirred it, and shoveled it all in a few mouthfuls.

"Of course, I'm already stuffed, I really can't eat anymore," Li Chunlai said, sitting on a small stool with his belly sticking out.

"Brother, I'll have a smoke before I go swimming," Lin Nian said, lighting a cigarette.

"Hey, no need to rush. I'm so full, and it'll be hard to go to the water. Let's digest first." Chen Feng lit a cigarette as well.

After resting for a while and chatting for a bit, Lin Nian threw away his cigarette butt, stretched a bit, and then prepared to go into the water.

Everyone followed and helped him put on his wetsuit.

"OK!" Lin Nian put on his diving suit, made a hand gesture, and slowly went into the water while holding the vacuum tube.

He was a very good swimmer, and although it was his first time wearing a diving suit, he adapted much faster than the other two. He soon dived underwater and started sucking air through the vacuum tube.

"Frog Fun, so this is what it feels like!" Lin Nian said excitedly underwater.

When everyone saw the money-sucking ship start spewing mud and sand out, they knew that Lin Nian had already started working.

"You got into the zone really quickly. It seems you're just as efficient on land as you are underwater," Li Chunlai said with a smile.

“He’s a good swimmer, so he’ll probably adapt quickly,” Chen Feng nodded and said.

When Lin Nian was underwater, if he encountered a rock that he couldn't suck in, he would reach out and throw the rock aside, and then continue sucking down.

It is worth mentioning that although Chen Feng knew which area had a high gold content and which area had a low gold content, he did not choose one. Instead, he started absorbing gold directly from the source of this section of river gold sand.

There was only one reason why Chen Feng didn't choose a specific area: he wanted to drain the river completely!

Anyway, they weren't planning to leave anymore, and the river was only so big, although it was actually quite big, but the river still had a certain length.

After all, it's not like a mine, which is ridiculously large. Even if you wanted to clean up a mine, you couldn't.

As for the river, with the system at his disposal, Chen Feng was fully confident that he could drain it completely, leaving not even a trace of gold!

If we're going to do something, we should do something big. Since we've already run into this situation, there's no reason for us to let it go.

Moreover, the latter half of this river is far more valuable than the beginning.

However, the river was still turbulent. Since this was the beginning, the river was much calmer. Chen Feng wanted to start with something simple so that they could accumulate more experience.

Having listened to their previous experiences, Lin Nian was now quite familiar with the process and quickly got the hang of it.

When he encounters a rock that he can't move, he puts down the pipe and slowly moves it by hand, which is quite easy for him.

Lin Nian continued to suck the air until it got dark. He felt it was alright, as he could still see underwater, but Chen Feng would definitely not agree.

Without even consulting him, they simply pulled him up.

"Brother, actually I can still take a few more breaths." This was the first thing Lin Nian said when he came up.

"Forget it, there will be plenty of time to smoke later. It's inconvenient to work after dark, and if there are any unexpected situations, it will be a loss."

"Let's change clothes and see how our haul went today," Chen Feng said, waving.

Hearing this, everyone smiled expectantly. Lin Nian quickly threw off his clothes and ran over.

Everyone was incredibly excited. It was finally time to check their first day's harvest. They followed Chen Feng to the side of the money-absorbing ship.

"Wow, this is full of golden sand! Look, it's so golden and beautiful!" Li Chunlai couldn't resist touching it.

"My God, I feel like panning for gold in the river is much more satisfying than mining. This thing never lets you miss out; you just suck it up and it's there!" Huang Fei said, looking at the gold with a satisfied expression.

"When there's no air force? You're overthinking it. The riverbed is just like the land. If you're lucky, you'll get more; if you're unlucky, you'll get less. And if you're really unlucky, you might not get anything at all."

"You think every river has this much gold? If Brother Qi hadn't already explored it all, we wouldn't have gotten such a bargain," Chen Feng said, pinching up a bit of gold dust and slowly scattering it.

“Right, damn, I forgot about that. It’s easy to make money, but it’s hard to find a good place.” Huang Fei nodded in deep agreement.

"Moreover, I feel that panning for gold in the river is much more difficult than on land, and the overall harvest will be much less."

"Find a mine on land, and even if you're unlucky all day, you can still pick up some scraps."

"But it's hard to say about the river. We can only find the wild ones, which are not easy to find. Besides, we can't do this job with too few people. We need someone who knows how to use the gold-draining boat."

"The difficulty of this is on a completely different level compared to getting a detector on land." Lin Nian pondered for a moment and nodded deeply.

"After all, who among you knows how to use a money-making ship, and who knows how to make a diving suit?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been so engrossed in their gold panning that they had completely forgotten about this incident.

It was because of Chen Feng that they were able to find things so smoothly. If it weren't for Chen Feng, they would have been completely lost at the very first step.

"Hey Fengzi, where did you learn how to operate the money-absorbing ship and how to wear a diving suit? How do you even know these things? I've never heard you mention them before," Huang Fei said belatedly to Chen Feng.

After spending a lot of time with Chen Feng, they even subconsciously felt that Chen Feng was omnipotent and that it was normal for him to know how to make a money-making boat.

But upon closer examination, it becomes clear that this is inherently abnormal.

How come you know everything? You even know this thing. You know so much!

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chen Feng with a hint of curiosity in their eyes, waiting for his answer.

Chen Feng blinked upon hearing this and asked the others, somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't it normal to be born with this kind of thing?"

"Tch~"

"Holy crap!"

"That's a perfect 10 for showing off!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately waved their hands and couldn't help but turn their heads away.

Is there anything more Versailles than this? And listen to this, he's speaking human language.

Who is born knowing how to sail a gold-digging ship? What, are you some kind of gold-digging genius, born with a natural talent for gold mining?

(Everyone, go to sleep. I'll finish the last chapter tomorrow.)
