The villagers who had been hired by Liu Ming to work also looked at Chen Feng, trying to figure out what made him so special.
They had heard of Chen Feng's reputation.
Unfortunately, after looking at him for a long time, apart from thinking that Chen Feng was quite handsome, I couldn't see anything else special about him.
Maybe he was just lucky, after all, he also lost yesterday, which everyone knows.
They soon arrived at the field and began to spread out, taking hoes and turning over the soil.
Chen Feng followed their example and swung his pickaxe.
Several hours passed quickly, and the land had been turned over quite a bit. Chen Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and prepared to continue turning over the land.
Just then, the system suddenly beeped.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a three-meter radius of the host!”
The sound stunned Chen Feng, who stared wide-eyed at his surroundings.
He never expected that he would find gold while just turning over the soil.
He dug at the ground a dozen times, trying to dig out the gold directly, but the area was too large, and he couldn't dig it out at all.
"Fengzi, that spot is fine, let's move forward," Liu Ming reminded Chen Feng, seeing him digging at the same spot.
"Okay." Chen Feng said, and then dug a few more times.
Liu Ming shook his head upon seeing this and ignored him.
If you can't even do farm work, what will you be able to do in the future?
Chen Feng threw the hoe at his feet and then shouted to Liu Ping, "Mom, I'm going home for a bit. Leave my hoe there."
"Okay, I understand." Liu Ping nodded without asking him what he wanted to do.
Chen Feng needed to go home to retrieve the detector and find the goods.
He considered leaving it for the night to search, but then he realized that wouldn't work. Although his family didn't own much land, the area was still quite large, and every plot looked the same. In the pitch black at night, it would be impossible to distinguish them.
If we can't find the place at night, it's even worse. It's better to find it now and let a lot of people see it.
Seeing Chen Feng quit, Liu Ming snorted disdainfully. He guessed that Chen Feng wouldn't last long and would soon complain of being tired and have to go back.
He's really taking it seriously, not letting anyone touch his hoe. I wonder when you'll be back.
"Big sister, where did Xiaofeng go?" Liu Ming asked.
"She probably went home to get some water, who knows?" Liu Ping said nonchalantly.
"Big sister, Xiaofeng's personality is no good. He can't stick to anything and complains about being tired after a short while. Aren't you going to talk to him about this?" Liu Ming habitually started scolding his older sister.
“If he’s tired, he can go home and rest for a while. He’s never done this before, so it’s normal for him to be tired. It’s okay,” Liu Ping said.
“They’re all grown up now. If they’re tired, they should just go home and rest. What isn’t tiring?” Liu Ming said, frowning.
“Look at Chaoyang, he’s tired from standing all day, but you have to be able to persevere. Otherwise, will the boss give him a raise? It’s because he’s doing a good job.” Liu Ming couldn’t help but make the comparison.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ping pursed her lips and remained silent.
Seeing that Liu Ping remained silent, Liu Ming continued, "This is your own work. If you don't do it, who will? Are you just hoping to hire someone?"
“If you hire one less person, you’ll only lose fifty yuan. How much can you earn from farming all year round? If he keeps doing this, he’ll hire everyone.”
Liu Ping continued digging, and couldn't help but say, "No, they'll probably be back soon."
"Hmph, just you wait, let's see when he'll be back," Liu Ming said, pursing his lips.
Chen Feng went home, put on his gear, and set off. This time, he took a back road and headed straight for his home.
Although this rumor will spread, it's still better than having dozens of people standing around you when you're panning for gold.
Chen Feng could imagine that if the villagers saw him carrying the equipment, a lot of people would come to watch the spectacle in no time.
Chen Feng arrived at the field quickly, and everyone was stunned when he appeared before them fully equipped.
"What are you doing?" Liu Ping asked, her eyes wide.
"I think I saw something in the field just now, but I couldn't find it after digging around for a while, so I thought I'd use the equipment to look for it," Chen Feng said as he approached his pickaxe.
Seeing this, Liu Ming walked over, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing? There's gold in the ground? Are you kidding me?"
"I don't know either, let's give it a try." Chen Feng put on the headset and began to probe.
Liu Ming rolled his eyes. He felt that Chen Feng just didn't want to work and was using this as an excuse.
If there were gold in the ground, who would spend money to travel so far every day? They could find it right in their own fields.
Those who were working also stopped what they were doing and looked at Chen Feng with curiosity.
This was the first time they had ever seen someone panning for gold on-site; they had only heard about it before, and this was incredibly novel to them.
"Could there be gold in this land?" someone said in a low voice, somewhat doubtful.
"Who knows what's going on? Let's just wait and see," someone nearby chuckled.
Liu Ming watched Chen Feng scanning around and said with some disdain, "What are you scanning?"
Chen Feng ignored him and continued his thorough investigation.
Liu Ping believed that her son wouldn't probe without a reason; he must have seen something, just like he did in the river last time.
Just when everyone was somewhat skeptical, a voice came from the detector into everyone's ears.
"Ooh-woo~"
Everyone's eyes widened instantly upon hearing the sound, and Liu Ming stared at Chen Feng in disbelief.
How could this be!
He actually managed to find the item?!
The key point is that over the years, I've never heard of anyone finding gold in their land!
"You really have some good stuff, Xiaofeng!" Liu Ping exclaimed in surprise.
"I'm not sure either, let's see what it is first." Chen Feng squatted down and took out a small shovel from his lower back, since it was the only one available and he didn't have a backpack.
As soon as he made that sound, everyone around him immediately moved closer, wanting to see what kind of product it was.
Liu Ming's expression was complicated, and he pursed his lips tightly.
He shoveled up a shovelful of soil, ran it over the detector, found nothing, and casually tossed the shovelful away.
After a few shovelfuls, someone couldn't help but whisper, "I think I've already figured it out just by watching."
"Hmph, what good will it do? You'll have to have their fate," someone nearby sneered.
If gold mining were really that easy, Chen Feng wouldn't be the only one to earn several thousand a day; they all understand this basic principle.
"Is it a piece of scrap iron? There are always these things in the ground," someone guessed, but of course, they didn't dare to speak too loudly, afraid that Chen Feng and the others would hear them, as if they were cursing Chen Feng.
"Who knows? But I feel like it's the same old stuff. You can find gold no matter what kind of luck you have. It's like God is giving you money." Someone else exclaimed in amazement.
After seven or eight shovelfuls, the detector finally went off as it passed the target.
"Ooh-woo~"
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately alerted. Even the most laymen understood that the goods were inside the shovel.
