"You're back, let's go." Chen Feng reached out and caught the Wahaha drink, tore a hole in it, inserted all four tubes, and drank straight from the bottle without even taking it apart.

"Huh, where are we going?" Huang Fei asked, bewildered.

Li Chunlai and Lin Nian went up to unload the truck and took out all the things he had just bought. Chen Feng then sat in the passenger seat, holding a tray of Wahaha drinks.

"No time to explain, get in the car!"

"Huh?" Huang Fei still had that bewildered look on his face, so he just sat in the driver's seat and drove the car away.

It wasn't until they reached the highway that Huang Fei remembered to ask, "Wait, where are we going?"

"I went to the city to buy an electric drill and a hook. I tried to suck up gold in the morning, but I hit a big rock that I couldn't move at all. I had to find a way to carry it away," Chen Feng said.

"Big rock, how big is it?" Huang Fei asked upon hearing this.

"Anyway, he couldn't move it even after trying his best, so you can figure it out yourself." After finishing the first bottle, Chen Feng moved the Wahaha to the right like he was playing a harmonica, and then drank the second bottle.

"Wow, it's so big! But can the drill be used underwater?" Huang Fei asked worriedly.

"So we need to buy one of those underwater-specific electric drills. I reckon they should have some in the city. Let's find a big hardware store and take a look," Chen Feng replied.

The car quickly arrived in the city. Huang Fei navigated to a hardware store that looked very large. Chen Feng threw down the row of Wahaha drinks he was holding and went inside with Huang Fei.

"Hello, what would you like to order?" the shop owner asked, sitting behind the counter and playing mahjong on his phone.

"How about a tool that can make holes, but it needs to be used underwater?" Chen Feng said, glancing at the shop.

The store is indeed very large, and it has all kinds of tools.

"Hu la!"

The boss's phone rang, and he slammed his hand on the table in frustration, probably realizing he had played the wrong card.

He put away his phone, stood up, and said, "What should I buy? Tools for drilling holes? And it needs to be used underwater. Let me think about it."

"I do have the kind you're looking for, but it's a bit pricey, 1400 each. But it's definitely reliable, and it'll work perfectly well underwater up to 30 meters. What do you think?"

The boss looked at Chen Feng and asked.

"Let me see what it looks like," Chen Feng said, leaning against the counter.

"Just you wait."

The boss walked behind and quickly came back, carrying a large box.

"This is it. You can drill any kind of hole you want. The drill bits are replaceable, and they come in different sizes. They're also rechargeable."

"How about it, is it okay?" the shopkeeper asked, opening the box.

"Looks alright, can it drill holes in rocks?" Chen Feng asked, rummaging through the rocks.

"Don't worry, I can do anything, not just stone, even concrete, it just might take a little longer." The boss was quite honest.

"Okay, this will do. Also, get me some iron hooks, the kind that you can stick in and have a big nail on the outside," Chen Feng described.

"Oh, I see. Take a look and see if this is the one." The shopkeeper bent down and took out a sample from under the counter.

Chen Feng took it and saw that it was exactly the same as the one he had seen before.

"This is it. Give me fifty of these first. How much is it in total?" Chen Feng asked, holding up his phone.

"Wait a minute, let me calculate. The hooks are ten yuan each, and they're all made of pure steel, so it's a total of 1,900 yuan. I'll give you ten more hooks for free, is that okay?" the shopkeeper said after calculating.

"Okay, if that's how it is, then I'll come to your house again next time," Chen Feng said with a smile.

"No problem, here you go, I'll find you another bag," the shopkeeper said kindly.

Huang Fei and Chen Feng carried their things back to the car and drove towards the mine.

When the two of them returned to the mine, Chen Jianguo had almost finished cooking.

"Did you manage to buy it?" Chen Jianguo asked, holding a spoon.

"We had to buy them. We also bought the hooks. We'll see if they work well in a bit," Chen Feng said, taking everything down from the store.

After unpacking and fiddling with it for a while, Chen Feng plugged it in to charge, ready to use it soon.

I cooked two simple dishes for lunch, and after lunch, Chen Feng taught everyone how to use this thing.

“Okay, that’s about right. I’ll go in and try it out first. Give me two hooks,” Li Chunlai said, carrying the drill.

When everyone came to the shore, they helped him put on a diving suit. He held two hooks in his right hand and an electric drill in his left.

With a rope around his waist, Li Chunlai slowly waded into the water.

Once underwater, Li Chunlai put the hook on the ground, picked up the electric drill, and began drilling holes in the rocks.

To be honest, the money wasn't wasted. The drill was pretty fast. Li Chunlai drilled the hole, grabbed the hook, and screwed it into the hole.

After tightening it, Li Chunlai even pulled on it with his hand; it was quite sturdy.

Fearing that one hole wouldn't be enough and it might break, he took the electric drill and drilled another hole, screwing the remaining hook in as well.

After finishing, he untied the rope from his waist, threaded it through the two hooks, and tied a knot.

After doing all this, Li Chunlai took the electric drill and floated up.

"Alright, is it tied tight?" Chen Feng shouted.

"OK!"

They couldn't hear Li Chunlai speak through the mask, so Li Chunlai could only use hand gestures.

"Get away!" Chen Feng gestured.

"OK!"

Li Chunlai made a hand gesture and went into the water, while the group of people on the shore held a large rope and started pulling hard while shouting three, two, one.

Li Chunlai, who was underwater, watched as the rope suddenly taut, and the large rock at the bottom of the water was also moved, swaying from side to side.

With each pull, the large rock was finally moved and began to shift outwards, which amused Li Chunlai watching from the side.

Finally, they managed to pull the thing up, and the rock kept being dragged backward, pulling out a long strip of silt from the riverbed.

Li Chunlai moved closer and lay down on the bottom of the water, shoveling mud with his hands.

Upon pulling it open, Li Chunlai became incredibly excited!

As expected, hard work pays off. There was indeed gold buried under the big rock, and quite a lot of it. Li Chunlai dug around and saw some of the larger particles float to the surface.

He was so excited that he even wanted to pick it up with his bare hands, but after thinking about it, he restrained himself.

Let's just inhale it later and suck it all up at once. If we pick it up now, we can't hold it at all, and it might just drift away with the current. It's not worth it.

They worked together to drag the large rock to the edge of the river, but because it was too heavy, it was quite difficult to pull it up from the bottom.

Li Chunlai looked at the long trail that had been dragged along and finally followed it to the stone. Although most of the silt had now been exposed, if the stone wasn't pulled up, there would still be gold buried underneath.

A single grain of gold might be worth a hundred or two, but if you hold onto several, it could be worth seven or eight hundred.

Although most of it had been exposed, Li Chunlai still felt a little reluctant to part with the several hundred yuan worth of gold that was still buried underneath.
