"Back then, this was a wasteland. Later, it was discovered by a gold mining team, and they started digging."
"After it was almost completely mined out, they abandoned it. Later, when the equipment became more advanced, I took over the mine."
"I opened a mine and charged admission fees. That was my first pot of gold, my true story of how I made my fortune."
"Speaking of which, it's been so many years," Brother Qi said, his eyes filled with reminiscence.
Back then, I wasn't as wealthy as I am now, but I felt that every day was quite enjoyable. Now that I have money, I don't feel as happy every day.
That's how men are; when they drink too much, they easily reminisce about the past. In fact, Chen Jianguo had heard this story eight hundred times.
Every time Brother Qi gets drunk, he brings this up and talks about it.
"Fengzi, what's going on? Should we ask him to get in the car or stay here a little longer?" Huang Fei came to Chen Feng's side after using the restroom, somewhat unsure of what to do.
Chen Feng's attention wasn't on Qi Ge at all; instead, he was looking at the vast abandoned mine.
His system has been upgraded and now has almost all the functions it should and shouldn't have. However, there is one thing that Chen Feng has not yet unlocked, and he doesn't even know if the system has this function.
It's a feature that allows you to inspect goods even while in the vehicle.
He now has to stand on the ground to see the cargo underneath; the system on the vehicle won't work.
As soon as he got out of the car, he immediately realized something was wrong.
Deep beneath this abandoned mine, there was actually gold, and a rather large nugget at that!
He was intently gazing into the distance, processing the information provided by the system; he was like a radar scanning the distant goods.
"Fengzi, Fengzi?" Huang Fei nudged Chen Feng when he saw that he didn't react, thinking that he was also drunk.
"Huh?" Chen Feng came back to his senses and turned to look at Huang Fei.
"Let's just listen to Uncle Qi continue. I feel like if he keeps going, I'll have to go buy him some beer," Huang Fei whispered.
"If he's alright, let him get in the car," Chen Feng said, still gazing into the distance.
At that moment, he was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.
He really wanted to explore this place again.
The key is that you know there are millions of dollars worth of gold hidden somewhere far away. How can you not be tempted? Even if Chen Feng is very rich now, he is reluctant to leave.
A million pieces of gold is just too tempting, especially since it's not just one piece, but many pieces!
"Uncle Qi, do you need to rest for a while? If not, let's sit in the car for a bit and relax," Huang Fei asked.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'm just reminiscing with your Uncle Chen about the past. You have no idea, someone once found hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of goods down here. I was so envious of that guy that I couldn't sleep all night."
"You know, my ticket only costs a little bit. I didn't even discover the gold in my own mine, and then someone else found it. Can you imagine how I feel?"
"I can't earn as much as that kid even if I sell tickets for a whole year."
Qi Ge couldn't help but chuckle when he brought it up.
Chen Feng looked into the distance, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
Damn it, anyone who sees gold and doesn't mine it is a coward. He's determined to keep this gold. So what if it's a little deep? What does it matter? As long as there's gold, that's all that matters!
He turned to look at Brother Qi, who was still reminiscing about the past. To be honest, given how drunk Brother Qi was, let alone an abandoned mine, even if Chen Feng just wanted his car right now, he would give it to Chen Feng without hesitation.
But Chen Feng can't do that. You know he's drunk. If you tell him this now, wouldn't that be taking advantage of him? Chen Feng won't do something so dishonest.
If we're going to do it, we'll have to wait until Brother Qi sobers up tomorrow.
If you agree, give me the mine and I'll do it; if you don't agree, I'll just go home, that's fine too.
But all of this has to wait until Brother Qi is sober.
"Alright, Qi-ge, get in the car. You've been sweating a lot, and it's a bit chilly now. Don't catch a cold if you blow on it," Chen Jianguo said, helping him up.
"Okay, okay, get in the car, I'm much better now, really. It's not that I can't drink, I just need to slow down, haha." Qi almost bumped his head when he got in the car, and Chen Jianguo had to pull him back.
And so, everyone got into the car and took Brother Qi home.
"Sister-in-law, I'm sorry I got back a little late. Please take care of Brother Qi and go to bed early." Chen Jianguo handed the somewhat unsteady Brother Qi to his wife and said.
"Wow, you guys really drank a lot today. How are you going to get home? You can't have come here drunk, can you?"
"That won't do. If you really can't leave, don't go. There are empty rooms at home. You can stay here for the night," said Aunt Qi, worried that they might get into trouble again due to drunk driving.
"It's alright, it's alright. We have a child, he hasn't been drinking, he's always been the one driving," Chen Jianguo quickly waved his hand and said.
"Oh, that's alright, as long as you didn't drink alcohol. You two take your time going back." Aunt Qi said, luring Brother Qi into the house.
"Alright, alright, we're off then. Sister-in-law, you should get some rest too," Chen Jianguo said, and the group got into the car.
I can't return the car to Brother Qi today, so they can just keep it for now and return it tomorrow morning.
Qi Ge was helped up to the second floor before he groggily said, "Jianguo, take your time going back. If you can't stay here tonight, there's plenty of room..."
"You're still staying here? People are almost home, why the hell are you drinking so much?"
Now that there were no outsiders around, Sister Qi could no longer hold back and grabbed Brother Qi's ear, scolding him.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Jianguo, Jianguo, come quick and check me, what's stuck in my ear? Is it the car door?" Brother Qi shouted, covering his ear and closing his eyes.
"Go to hell!" Sister Qi was so angry that she laughed. She grabbed his ear and threw him onto the bed, turning him over so he wouldn't vomit and choke.
"Turn around, don't lie down, did you hear me!" Aunt Qi couldn't lift the heavy Brother Qi at all, so she pushed him while shouting at him.
"Huff...huff..." Brother Qi was clearly asleep.
"Get up and turn over!" Aunt Qi slapped him hard across the face, making Brother Qi dazed and shudder.
He subconsciously turned over and fell asleep again in the blink of an eye.
Chen Feng and the others returned to the hotel. Chen Jianguo was also drunk, but he was still relatively sober.
"Hey, where are you going?" Chen Feng asked, seeing that Chen Jianguo was already on the third floor and was still talking to him in silence as he went upstairs.
"Ah, isn't this the second floor? Which floor is this?" Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo stepped back again, his eyes glazed over with drunkenness as he looked at the door number.
One can only say that Chen Jianguo might be sober...
Everyone swiped their room cards to open the door and went back to bed. Chen Feng, however, hadn't drunk too much. He lay in bed, still thinking about the abandoned mine.
