Other features require 100,000 points to unlock.
After some research, he realized that unlocking other functions would randomly grant one ability.
To be honest, it's not a good deal for now.
Moreover, it requires too many points; it takes a long time to accumulate 100,000.
He's currently hesitating about the scope and depth.
Choosing a range would definitely be more efficient, while depth can ensure that you don't miss any items.
After all, like that gold-plated stone last time, it was just stuck at a depth of twenty centimeters. If it had been any deeper, I would have missed it.
He also realized that the detection range wasn't necessarily better the larger it was; there had to be a suitable range.
After all, if the detection range is too large, say, a radius of 5,000 meters.
The system did indicate that the goods were available, but I couldn't possibly search the entire area within a 5,000-meter radius, could I?
That would take so long, which would actually reduce efficiency.
In Chen Feng's current plan, five to ten meters is a good range, no more than that.
After thinking it over, he decided to wait until he had enough points to upgrade his depth first, as not missing any items was the most important thing.
Moreover, the deeper you go, the bigger the goods become, and the better the goods are at the bottom.
"bite!"
“There are precious metals within a three-meter radius of the host.”
Chen Feng was startled awake by the system's voice and stopped in his tracks.
Looking back, I realized I had walked quite a distance without even noticing.
"If the system hadn't said anything, I might have actually ended up in Siberia."
Chen Feng chuckled and roughly drew a boundary.
Holding the detector, Chen Feng conducted a thorough, carpet-like search, much like a greedy snake.
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector started beeping, and Chen Feng swung it back and forth, using the volume of the sound to determine the exact location of the cargo.
When the detector was at its loudest, Chen Feng drew a circle with his foot, squatted down, and laid the detector down. Then he reached behind his backpack and pulled out a small shovel.
It's worth mentioning that after panning for gold a few times, Chen Feng discovered that keeping the shovel in his bag meant he had to take the bag off and unzip it to get the shovel out every time he needed to use it.
It's such a hassle to put it back after using it.
So he found a piece of elastic band at home and sewed it onto the side of the backpack.
This way, you can insert the shovel into the side of your backpack, and when you need it, you can just pull it out with your hand over your shoulder. When you're done, you can just put it back in. It's incredibly convenient.
He wondered why other gold prospectors didn't make the same modification, which would have been much more convenient.
But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Feng understood. They didn't earn much money in a day, so they probably didn't have the inclination to use their brains.
After shoveling his shovel across the soil, the detector didn't sound, so Chen Feng continued digging with a second shovel.
The second shovel strike still yielded no sound, but Chen Feng discovered half an earthworm on the tip of his shovel, still wriggling.
Looking down, the remaining half was in the pit.
Chen Feng: "..."
He sighed, tossed the half-eaten earthworm from the shovel aside, and complained to the remaining half, "You should have kept your distance."
"You can't even see such a big shovel?"
Then Chen Feng used a shovel to scoop up the half-earthworm from the pit and threw it back where the half-earthworm had been.
Two halves of an earthworm should be able to reconnect themselves, right?
Indeed, it's noticeable that the weather has been rather gloomy lately, with quite a bit of rain.
Otherwise, earthworms would usually be in a very deep place, not so shallow.
After a few more shovelfuls, Chen Feng actually dug out another half an earthworm.
He silently tossed the half earthworm back into the spot where the first earthworm had been.
Three and a half earthworms can be combined to make a two-star item.
With another shovelful, as the shovel passed the detector, it finally beeped.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng dug into the soil in his shovel and muttered, "It finally made a sound. If it hadn't made a sound, I think I would have been able to synthesize a three-star earthworm by now."
After peeling off one layer and passing it through the detector once, Chen Feng saw the grayish-white particle on the third peel.
"Twenty-something, not bad."
Chen Feng didn't show any emotion because it was silver. He estimated the price, took out a small bottle, and threw the silver nugget into it.
After closing the lid, I glanced back at Huang Fei, who was in the distance, peering down.
Chen Feng turned around and continued walking forward.
About ten minutes later, Chen Feng's system beeped again.
After drawing a circle, Chen Feng used the detector to scan it bit by bit.
Just when he was feeling bored, Chen Feng suddenly thought that it would be great if he were like Magneto.
By then, who would still be using a broken detector to sweep through here like a minefield?
With a simple reach, all the gold on the ground would float to the surface; all you had to do was open a sack.
Just move a chair, hold a wine glass in your left hand, and with a gentle lift of your right, watch as countless gold coins pour into the sack.
Damn, Chen Feng feels so good just thinking about it.
Elegant, so very elegant.
But then I thought, I'm already Magneto, why would I need to pan for gold?
Why can't you make money faster than this?
Chen Feng rolled his eyes helplessly, realizing he really had a poor man's mindset.
What's the difference between this and the fact that everything has been instantly transferred, and the only thing on everyone's mind is that this time the food delivery won't be late?
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector's sound stopped Chen Feng's wild thoughts.
Chen Feng drew a circle with his toes, then squatted down and pulled out a shovel from behind his back.
Just as he was about to make his first scoop, he heard an extremely excited voice behind him.
"Holy crap, Fengzi! Holy crap, Fengzi! I finally found the goods! Hahahaha!"
As soon as Chen Feng turned around, he saw Huang Feile running towards him in the distance like a monkey king being born.
Holding something in his left hand and the detector in his right, he practically shrugged the detector like a large knife.
He paused for a moment, then looked back at the circle in front of him, his thoughts racing.
If Huang Fei comes over and sees that I've found some good stuff, he'll definitely stare at me curiously to see what kind of goods I've sold.
Once he knows that he has sold the goods, he will ask him to sell them with him when he goes to the county town that night.
Then everything will be exposed, and all your plans will fall apart!
If you wait for him to pretend that you haven't shipped the goods, he definitely won't go too far and will stay close by to check.
Even though you know there's something here, you can't dig it up, and you can't just stand still.
After walking for a while, I'm afraid I won't even remember where this place is.
What if there's gold underneath? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss?
Without hesitation, Chen Feng scooped up a shovel of soil with his left hand and picked up the detector with his right.
The shovel traced an arc across the detector before being tossed aside without pausing at all.
Chen Feng scooped out the goods almost every two seconds, trying to get them out as quickly as possible and then hide them, pretending he hadn't found anything.
