"Think about it, Zheng Ping's car is full and there are no seats, but Chen Feng just bought a new car and he's the only one in it."
"Why don't you go find him and split the fare with him? That way you can get to Shangqiuling City."
"When you get there, speak kindly and tell him how poor and miserable you are, and he will definitely agree to your request."
Song Hui's father said confidently.
“Oh right, he’ll definitely be driving to Qiuling City then. I’ll help him cover half of the expenses, and I can keep him company.”
"I reckon others haven't thought of this yet. Once they realize it, quite a few people will be eyeing Chen Feng. After all, Zheng Ping's car is full, and if they want to get to Qiuling City, they'll have to hitch a ride with Chen Feng."
Song Hui got up and rushed to Chen Feng's house, wanting to quickly reserve a spot.
"Hey, hey, where are you going!"
Seeing this, Song Hui's father quickly called out to Song Hui.
"I'll go reserve a table. If I'm late, someone else will take it," Song Hui said, puzzled.
"Look at the time, it's past nine o'clock. Aren't people sleeping? Don't be like that idiot Er Maozi, ruining everything that could have been done."
"Go again tomorrow morning, and don't go empty-handed. Bring something from Lu Dahai's house. It's never a bad thing to be polite, and he won't be able to refuse you even if he wants to," Song Hui's father said, sounding like someone who had been through it all.
"I don't think he can sleep at nine o'clock," Song Hui said hesitantly as he sat back down.
However, after being reminded, he realized that he couldn't be so rash. Even Zheng Ping would get angry if someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night, let alone Chen Feng.
If you really piss him off, things will get complicated.
"Then let's go tomorrow morning."
The two sat at home discussing what to send Chen Feng.
The next day, a little after seven o'clock, Chen Feng was still washing up at home when Lin Nian came to knock on the door.
"Come in for the Little New Year," Liu Ping greeted, heating up the dishes.
"Auntie," Lin Nian greeted shyly as she walked in.
"Why are you here so early? Have you eaten?" Chen Feng asked indistinctly while brushing his teeth.
"I'm done eating. I'm not in a hurry. You can eat slowly." Lin Nian sat down to the side and waited.
Chen Feng knew that he was eager to strike it rich, so after washing up, he sat down and asked him to eat some more. He was afraid that Lin Nian would be anxious, as he hadn't eaten much at home.
"I've already eaten, brother. You and Auntie can eat," Lin Nian said, waving his hand.
Seeing that he had actually eaten, Chen Feng didn't insist anymore. Soon he finished his meal, slung his bag over his shoulder, and set off with Lin Nian.
The car slowly drove out of the village, and Lin Nian, in the passenger seat, was excited and thrilled.
This is his first time seriously panning for gold. Before, he had just casually explored with a detector. Today, he can finally do it for real.
"Brother, do you think we'll find a huge piece of gold today, the kind that neither of us can lift?" Lin Nian asked expectantly.
"If we could really find such a big gold, we'd be set for life. Why bother with finding it? We could just go to the provincial capital, buy a house and a car, and I'd marry you eight wives."
Chen Feng gripped the steering wheel with his right hand, took out a cigarette with his left, handed one to Lin Nian, and lit one for himself.
"Hehehe, no need for so many, brother, you keep four, and we'll split them in half." Lin Nian's face was practically beaming with joy.
"You're damn ungrateful." Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
That much gold is probably only found in dreams.
The two chatted for a while, discussing their plans and development for the future after making a fortune.
In short, wishful thinking.
Driving on a deserted road, Chen Feng, having nothing to do, brought up the system. After selling his goods last time, plus the points he had left, he now had exactly 50,000 points.
After spending 20,000 points on depth, the system displayed a success message.
"Congratulations, host, on successfully upgrading your detection depth. The detection depth has increased by 20 centimeters, now it is 50 centimeters."
"The next upgrade will require 50,000 points and increase the depth by 30 centimeters."
Chen Feng was quite satisfied with the current detection depth of half a meter, but he still had 30,000 points left to spend.
The next upgrade requires 50,000 points, which Chen Feng doesn't have enough. He thought for a moment and figured he could probably gather enough points when he went to Qiuling City next time.
Since these 30,000 are just sitting idle, we might as well use them for something else first, so it won't cause any delay.
Without hesitation, Chen Feng spent 10,000 points to target the detection range.
"bite!"
"Congratulations, host, on successfully upgrading your detection range. The detection range has increased by one meter in radius, now it is four meters in radius."
"The next upgrade will require 30,000 points, and the detection range will increase by two meters."
Looking at the upgraded system, Chen Feng felt quite relieved, but he was still very curious about the other functions in the system.
It takes 100,000 points to click once. With such a high number of points, what kind of functions will it give you?
He once asked the system what it would give him, but the system's answer was the same as no answer at all.
"The host will randomly gain one ability."
Isn't that obvious? He didn't even know that clicking it would randomly grant him an ability; it's all written there.
Perhaps this is the gambling instinct in human beings. He really wanted to try clicking to see what he would get, but when he thought about the 100,000 points, he hesitated.
What if he gets a useless ability that's basically useless? Wouldn't he be at a huge loss?
With these 100,000 points, I can increase my detection depth to one meter, and then I can buy so many more goods.
Let's wait until we have more free time to accumulate points; we really can't afford to squander them now.
Driving leisurely along the road, with the windows rolled down and a cool breeze blowing, Chen Feng felt incredibly comfortable.
He came here purely for fun, not expecting to buy much, so he was very relaxed, just like on vacation.
While others go to the beach for vacation, enjoying the salty sea breeze, all he could see was an endless expanse of sand, with the wind blowing sand straight into his mouth.
Soon, he arrived at the abandoned mine near his home and plunged directly into its deepest part.
This abandoned mine has been explored for so many years, the outside has probably been turned upside down, and it's difficult to get around inside, so people don't usually like to go in.
The car swayed left and right as it drove deeper into the abandoned mine, which highlighted the advantage of using a second-hand vehicle. Chen Feng really didn't care and just drove however he wanted.
If this were a new car, Chen Feng would really have to think about it.
Chen Feng slowed down and stuck his neck out to check if there were any signs that the area had been explored.
After walking around for a few minutes and not finding any small holes that had been dug by someone, Chen Feng stopped the car.
"Get out of the car and grab your tools!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Nian immediately opened the car door and jumped out, his face full of anticipation.
The two went to the trunk, Chen Feng took out the large detector and gave the small one to Lin Nian.
"I think I forgot to prepare a backpack for you, but it doesn't matter, we're not far apart."
"Here's a shovel for you, and here's a small bottle for you too."
