Chapter 223 The Master of Digging Holes



Carrying the detector, Chen Feng looked around, trying to find a place with good wind direction.

Unfortunately, it seems that this enhanced intuition doesn't work here. Chen Feng felt that it was all the same everywhere, so he simply chose a place with relatively lush vegetation and walked over there.

Normal gold prospectors don't like to come to this kind of place, so there should be more leftover goods.

"bite!"

“There is precious metal within a six-meter radius of the host!”

As it turned out, Chen Feng's intuition was correct; the system gave him a notification as soon as he entered.

Chen Feng looked ahead and sensed it for a moment.

The more he felt it, the more Chen Feng frowned.

He sensed that this guy was incredibly cunning, the kind of guy he'd never seen before.

"Sister, although there are goods here, they are all high-end jobs, right?"

Chen Feng tossed his bag aside, took out his pickaxe and shovel, and prepared to get to work.

Full of energy after a good breakfast, Chen Feng swung his pickaxe with great force, turning the once lush green land into a complete mess.

After clearing away all the grass, Chen Feng switched to a shovel and started digging out the weeds.

Shovelfuls of soil were shoveled up and scattered everywhere in front of Chen Feng, covering the wild grass.

With another shovel strike, Chen Feng felt as if his shovel had hit something.

In the past, Chen Feng might have been pleasantly surprised, thinking that he might have managed to snag some goods.

Unfortunately, Chen Feng now knows that this is definitely just a big rock, and the goods are still far away.

After clearing away the soil around the rock with a shovel, Chen Feng simply picked it up with his hands.

The stone must have weighed over ten kilograms. Chen Feng picked it up, threw it aside, took a short breath, picked up a small shovel, and continued digging.

From then on, Chen Feng basically followed this gold-digging process. He thought he might as well just buy a big shovel, the kind that's as tall as a person and can be kicked.

When it comes to digging holes, that thing is still the most efficient; this little shovel is as good as a child's toy for playing on the beach.

Chen Feng dug around for a long time, and the pit visibly deepened. However, after it reached a certain depth, it became difficult for Chen Feng to dig any further.

Because he was standing on the bank, he couldn't reach the bottom of the pit at all, so he had to kneel down and bend over to continue digging.

"Holy crap, how deep is this?"

Chen Feng dug for a while, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm, and looked at the pit, puzzled himself.

In his mind, the goods were still some distance away, but Chen Feng estimated that the pit in front of him was more than half a meter deep.

Chen Feng calculated that the thing must be over seventy centimeters deep.

"Damn, if I dig any longer, I'll fall in and never be able to get out," Chen Feng muttered dejectedly, and continued swinging his shovel.

Actually, that was just a joke. Let alone 80 centimeters, even if the pit was a meter deep, Chen Feng wouldn't be unable to get out.

In the end, Chen Feng was lying on the bank, his upper body inside the hole, digging.

Thankfully, there was only a little bit left. If it had been any deeper, Chen Feng's head would have been facing downwards, and blood would have been flowing freely.

After digging a dozen more shovelfuls, Chen Feng finally felt it was enough. He pulled over the detector and started working on the soil.

After about four or five shovelfuls, Chen Feng's detector made a sound.

He was lying down, but when he heard the sound, he sat up with his shovel, let out a long breath, and began to slowly shake off the soil.

He slowly shook off the dirt from the shovel, and Chen Feng soon saw the goods.

Upon seeing the item, Chen Feng sighed deeply and shook his head helplessly.

There was a silver nugget in the shovel, worth about 120 yuan.

Normally, Chen Feng would think it's acceptable, after all, it's over a hundred yuan.

But now, after digging such a deep pit, Chen Feng is exhausted, covered in sweat, and his clothes are filthy, and he's only been given 120 yuan.

He just felt it wasn't worth it; after going through so much trouble, it wouldn't be right not to give him some erotic content.

After putting away the silver granules, Chen Feng stood up, patted the dirt off his clothes, took a deep breath, and continued walking forward with the detector in his hand.

After walking for about ten minutes, still on the same land, the system suddenly sent another notification, telling him that there was cargo nearby.

Chen Feng looked back and forth, and the feeling in his heart surprised him somewhat.

"Um?"

Chen Feng carefully looked around at his surroundings and took a good look at his surroundings.

This time the feeling is clearer, I'm sure of it.

"Holy crap, there are four items in this tiny space?" Chen Feng couldn't believe it himself, which explained his earlier hesitation.

He had never found four items at once before; this time he had really messed things up.

But when Chen Feng felt the location of the goods again, his face immediately darkened. None of the four pieces of goods were lightly colored.

They were all at roughly the same depth as the goods from before.

Chen Feng covered his face with his hands and sighed deeply.

What else can we do but get started?

Chen Feng tossed his backpack aside, pulled out his tools, lit a cigarette to prepare for the big job that was about to begin, and also planned out his route.

There were two pieces of goods that were close together, and they could be dug out at once, but the pit would have to be dug a bit bigger.

The other piece of goods is about some distance away from these two.

No matter how Chen Feng plans, he can't possibly find all three pieces at once.

If you want to find three items at once, you'll have to dig a huge hole.

Chen Feng could only try to get as close to this side as possible when digging the first pit, in order to prepare for the third piece of goods.

We'll see if the conditions allow it then. If they do, we might as well dig a hole in the pit and pull out the third piece of goods directly.

As for the fourth piece of goods, forget about it. It's more than a meter away from the other three, a position that's impossible to touch.

Then we'll just have to dig another hole.

Chen Feng sat on the ground smoking a cigarette. Who would have thought he would encounter such a big job so early in the morning?

It feels like it won't be finished in less than two hours.

Moreover, Chen Feng felt that what he had planned was somehow similar to his mother's tomb raiding.

They fastened the buttons on the left and right, just to pry the goods out, doing whatever was most convenient.

If I can't strike it rich in the future, I might as well change careers. What's the difference between striking it rich and striking it rich? Why not get some Tang tri-color pottery or Sanxingdui artifacts? Wouldn't that make more money than this stuff?

"Punishment, this thing really feels like torture to Chen Feng."

After finishing his cigarette, Chen Feng casually flicked his wrist, picked up his water bottle, took a couple of sips, and considered his preparations complete.

Chen Feng symbolically spat twice onto his hands, then picked up the pickaxe and started swinging it.

With his swing, the wild grass on the ground suffered, flying everywhere in all directions.

After digging for a while, when Chen Feng felt it was about time, he switched to a small shovel and this time simply knelt down on the ground and started digging.

This pit was much bigger than the last one, and it would take a long time to dig through, so Chen Feng took the easiest route.

As for clothes and pants... I don't have time to care about them now.

Do whatever you want, we'll deal with it when it gets dirty.
