Chapter 627 The System Beeps
The two men finished their cigarettes and returned to the car, while the driver continued driving forward.
And so, Qi Minglin slept in a daze until the afternoon before waking up.
"So, did you find anything?" Qi Minglin leaned against the car window and lazily spoke to Li Guanghao and Chen Feng outside.
"He's awake, but we haven't found anything yet," Li Guanghao said, squatting on the ground.
"We're doomed," Qi Minglin said casually, yawning.
The group searched until nightfall, then Qi Minglin sent a location to the exploration team so they could come and set up camp.
As the day went by, many villagers spotted Chen Feng and his group, and they all looked over curiously, wondering what they were doing.
Meanwhile, some villagers from the camp came to watch, and some of the bolder ones even went up to greet them and ask what was going on.
Because Qi Minglin had given them instructions, the exploration team members all gave vague answers, saying that it was just normal geological surveying and that everyone should not worry.
The villagers didn't understand, so after this explanation they nodded in understanding and went back to chat with each other in the village.
And so, Chen Feng continued exploring this place for seven or eight days.
The next morning, Chen Feng and his group got up and drove out.
"Do we still have any soda in the car?" Chen Feng asked.
"I think we finished our Happy Water yesterday. If you want some more, just tell the chef. We'll be buying supplies soon anyway," Qi Minglin said casually, looking at her phone.
"Okay, that works too." Chen Feng nodded and looked out the car window at the scenery.
Li Chunlai saw what looked like bungalows in the distance and pointed, saying, "Hey, isn't that a village over there?"
Upon hearing this, everyone craned their necks to look, and after the driver drove a little further, they realized that it was indeed a village.
“It is indeed a village, and it looks quite large.” Li Guanghao adjusted his glasses.
"Then why wait until tonight? If you want a soft drink, just go to the village and buy it now. They'll definitely have some there," Li Chunlai said with a smile.
"That works too, let's just buy two cases and put them in the car." After Chen Feng suggested it, Qi Minglin also felt like having a drink.
Seeing this, the driver drove the car directly into the village.
Although they didn't know where the village store was, the intelligence group at the village entrance certainly did; they could just go in and ask.
Once they went inside and asked around, they immediately found out where the shop was. The group drove into the village and parked the car in front of the shop.
"Let's get out of the car and see what he has." Qi Minglin opened the car door and got out, and the others followed.
The system suddenly beeped the moment Chen Feng got out of the car and his feet touched the ground!
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng looked at the village with surprise and disbelief. He was completely taken aback.
Are you kidding me? He searched for rare earth minerals for almost ten days, and it actually turned out to be in the village in the end?
The group was almost inside the shop when they turned around and found Chen Feng still standing at the door. Qi Minglin couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing? Come in."
"Okay, right away." Chen Feng looked around, nodded without saying anything, and followed the group into the convenience store.
It seems that every rural shop is pretty much the same: the interior is somewhat dark, the shelves are at the back, and there are a few tables set up on the floor where people play mahjong and cards.
Several people came in, and everyone turned to look. When they saw that they were strangers, they even lowered their voices and looked at each other with some doubt.
"Boss, do you have Coke?" Qi Minglin asked the boss behind the counter.
"Yes, you can have large or small bottles," the shopkeeper asked, standing up.
"Take two cases of the small bottles," Qi Minglin said.
The boss raised an eyebrow when he heard it was two boxes. It wasn't a holiday, so it would be difficult for him to sell so much stock all at once.
"Okay, wait for me to move them for you. Whose house are you going to visit?" the boss said, carrying two cases of Coke out of the house.
"How much is it if I drink it myself?" Qi Minglin said with a smile.
"I have cash here, I'll pay. It's too much trouble to keep carrying it around." Li Guanghao stepped forward and settled the bill.
It's worth noting that after receiving the cash, the shop owner specifically checked to see if it was counterfeit, which shows he has a strong sense of vigilance.
Li Chunlai stepped forward and carried the two cases of soda, and the group returned to the car.
The box was opened, and each person received a bottle. The driver was about to leave the village when Chen Feng said, "Just drive to the village entrance and stop."
"Oh, okay."
The driver no longer asks Chen Feng for reasons; he just tells him to stop and he stops. He's the most obedient driver.
When the car arrived at the village entrance, several people got out. Qi Minglin took a sip of Coke and said, "What's wrong? Why did we stop here? Are you afraid the Coke is fake?"
Chen Feng held a drink in his hand, gazing into the distance.
His voice was calm, but his words were startling.
"I feel like this place is good; it seems like they have some goods."
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Minglin suddenly spat out a mouthful of cola, choking as she bent over to take the tissue handed to her. After wiping herself, she looked up, her eyes wide with shock, and said, "Brother, are you serious?"
"Are you really getting into it?"
"We're here. It feels really good. Let's get ready to drive the piles, but I need to do some research on where to choose the best spots." Chen Feng nodded.
"Wow, I thought it would be like last time, and I'd have to search all the way into the mountains before you could get a response. I didn't expect you to get one before 10 o'clock, hahaha!"
Li Guanghao was overjoyed, looking as if he had already discovered a rare earth mine.
"Brother, take a good look at where we're going to drive the piles and what the follow-up procedures are. Once you've chosen, I'll need to find someone."
Qi Minglin stepped forward, grabbed Chen Feng's arm, and began to massage him, adopting a fawning attitude.
Not to mention the exploration team, even the leaders didn't expect that Chen Feng would find minerals so quickly. It's only been a few days since he found the last one, and he's already found another one.
"I'll take a look."
Chen Feng started walking along the village. After walking for a while, he finally determined that the mine was located on the edge of the village.
Most of the mines are located outside the village. As for how big the area outside the village is, Chen Feng hasn't been there and doesn't know. He'll have to go explore it later.
Chen Feng eventually walked back to the village, touched his chin, and felt that things were a bit difficult.
If you want to drive piles, you must discuss compensation with the village.
They just calculated that the village has at least 500 households, and at the very least, it has 1,500 people.
To put it bluntly, it could be as high as three thousand.
At this stage, pile driving and probing must not be done in the village; otherwise, compensation issues cannot be discussed at all.
Chen Feng has just temporarily chosen a location, which is a spot on the edge of the village.
That location only has a small shed and a tree, so even if it occupies land, it won't bring in much money.
"Let's go, let's go take another look outside," Chen Feng said, clapping his hands.
