Hearing the laughter, the younger brother looked at Li Chunsheng with envy and quickened his pace, hoping to be as lucky as Li Chunsheng and also find a silver nugget.
Finding ten yuan right away is so awesome! If word gets back to Xuri Village, they'll be green with envy.
On the other side, Chen Feng looked at the silver coin worth more than forty yuan in his hand, shook his head, and threw it into the bottle with some disappointment.
"This is way too small..."
Chen Feng walked for almost half an hour before he finally got a bullfrog, and after digging for so long, it was only worth forty yuan. No wonder he was disappointed.
He didn't know how well Zheng Ping and the others had fared, only that he himself was far worse off today than he had been yesterday.
If all else fails, we can find a bush to hide in. If it works like yesterday, that would be fantastic.
Drilling once costs five thousand yuan, drilling once costs five thousand yuan.
If he could ship every time, Chen Feng would spend all his time hiding in the bushes.
Without further ado, Chen Feng looked up and searched for bushes, then squeezed through two bushes he spotted.
The thorny bushes scratched Chen Feng badly, leaving several white marks on his arms. Unfortunately, even crawling through the bushes was futile, as the system offered no warning whatsoever.
"Damn, it's nothing." Chen Feng rubbed his arms, rolled his eyes, and continued walking forward.
But surprisingly, after walking through the bushes for a few minutes, the system actually gave me a notification.
"Alright, alright, even if there's a slight delay, it's fine as long as the goods are available. If it's as big as that piece of gold from yesterday, I'll forgive you, hehe."
Chen Feng grinned and looked around expectantly with the detector.
He quickly located the position, and the detector emitted a "whoosh" sound.
Chen Feng pulled out a shovel, his eyes shining, and squatted down to shovel a handful of shovelfuls.
He felt he could ship a lot of goods today. Don't ask why, it's just a feeling.
Chen Feng shoveled a shovelful of soil over the detector, but the detector didn't react. He then threw it away and shoveled another shovelful.
With each shovelful of shovelful work, Chen Feng grew more and more confident.
I just crawled out of the bushes, and the cargo is buried so deep, it must be a big one.
My buffs are fully stacked!
Finally, after Chen Feng had shoveled dozens of times, the detector went off. Chen Feng, with an irrepressible smile on his face, gently shook the shovel.
Hopefully, we'll see just the tip of the iceberg of its golden hue.
The first shake didn't detect anything, so Chen Feng checked the detector and shook it again.
After shaking it around, only one layer of goods remained in the shovel, and Chen Feng still hadn't found them, so he frowned.
The soil in the shovel is too thin to bury a large amount of gold.
He reached out and rummaged around for a bit, and found a small silver coin worth about thirty yuan.
Chen Feng fell silent as he looked at the small silver grains. Not only had they failed to produce a large quantity, but the quantity was also getting smaller and smaller.
"You damn God, I swear..."
Chen Feng stood up, clutching the silver coin in his hand, and sighed deeply. Today had truly been an inauspicious start; the feng shui was off.
He threw the silver nuggets into the bottle and prepared to leave, when he suddenly noticed that the system notifications were still in progress and showed no signs of disappearing.
"Um?"
Chen Feng's sullen expression changed, and the corners of his mouth gradually turned up as he looked down at the pit.
"Oh, so I misunderstood you. This is just an appetizer."
Chen Feng chuckled and picked up the shovel again, squatting down to start shoveling soil one shovelful at a time.
The detector went off after only a few shovelfuls. Chen Feng carefully shook off the soil, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the large truck.
The bUFF is now fully stacked, with deep bushes and double yellow buffs. It would be a real shame if we didn't get a big one.
Soon after Chen Feng saw the item in the shovel, his cheerful expression instantly vanished.
That was a silver coin worth about twenty dollars...
"Hey!"
Chen Feng stood up, spat fiercely, and forcefully threw the silver granules into the small bottle.
What the hell? With buffs stacked up like this, all you get are these two? Even a small gold item would have been better.
After packing his things, Chen Feng randomly turned in a direction. The system was as quiet as if it had disappeared along the way. Chen Feng was extremely bored, so he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth.
After lighting it, Chen Feng slowly exhaled a puff of smoke as he walked and smoked.
No matter where he went, the system remained silent today, making Chen Feng want to go back to where he was yesterday.
"What kind of godforsaken place is this? We might as well not have moved here. This is outrageous." Chen Feng stubbed out his cigarette, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sighed.
He estimated that he would be lucky to make a thousand today; otherwise, he might not even make a thousand, setting a new personal record for the lowest haul.
After about half an hour, Chen Feng came to a small step in front of him. He jumped down with his things in his arms, and the system finally gave him a notification.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a three-meter radius of the host!”
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng took a deep breath and slowly began scanning with the detector.
If the goods don't arrive soon, it will be almost noon, and half the day will be gone.
The detector scanned line by line around the area drawn by Chen Feng with his eyes.
There were many rocks in this place, and Chen Feng walked with uneven steps, sometimes losing his footing and swaying.
The detector couldn't easily pass over these rocks, so Chen Feng could only try to lift it up a little to prevent it from hitting the rocks.
The lifespan of a detector will be reduced if it hits a rock; after all, it will eventually break if it keeps bumping into things.
It took Chen Feng twice as long as usual to scan the area, and the detector only sounded when there were only a few lines left.
"Ooh-woo~"
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng didn't grab a shovel immediately. Instead, he put the detector aside, squatted down, and began to lift the stones and toss them aside.
This layer of gravel weighs at least ten kilograms, and even the lightest weighs several ounces, making it impossible for Chen Feng to shovel it down.
Under the scorching sun, Chen Feng threw all the stones aside. He was covered in sweat and took a breath before squatting down to take out his shovel.
He was a little confused, wondering if he was working as a bricklayer or a gold digger.
Construction sites are nothing special.
With one shovelful, even the soil under the rocks was incredibly dry, unlike in small abandoned mines where the soil underneath was always damp when you dug up the rocks.
This place probably gets very little rain and is scorching hot all month round. Of course, for gold prospectors, being hot and dry is fine, as long as it doesn't rain every day.
When it rains, you really can't work; you can only sit in the car.
After shoveling many times, Chen Feng still couldn't find anything. He moved the stones under his feet aside and continued shoveling.
After dozens of attempts, the detector finally beeped when Chen Feng was passing through the soil.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng heard the sound and let out a soft sigh of relief. He then picked up the shovel and shook it in front of him.
After shaking the detector, he repeated this process several times until there was only half a shovelful of soil left in the shovel. Then, Chen Feng started digging with his hands.
