After resting for a while on the bus, those who had rested enough picked up their tools and got off, while some who hadn't finished eating continued to eat.
After resting for a while, Chen Feng picked up his tools and got out of the car.
No wonder Huang Fei said that after getting up so early, having a hot and filling meal, and sitting in the car, he was really sleepy.
I quickly got off the bus while I was feeling sleepy, otherwise I might actually fall asleep soon.
Chen Feng wandered aimlessly around the mining area, as if he had used up all his good luck that morning.
It took him three hours to find two small silver grains, and by then it was almost four in the afternoon.
He frowned as he looked at the mere half-bottle of silver.
He remembered that at this time last time, the bottle was almost half full, but this time it was far too short. At this rate, he definitely wouldn't be able to raise the full 1,500.
Including that gold nugget, it seems that today's harvest is only around five or six hundred.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why am I having such bad luck this afternoon?" Chen Feng muttered, frowning as he walked forward.
It took another twenty minutes before the system notification sounded.
"Let's get a big truck, let's get a big truck."
Chen Feng first drew a circle, then slowly scanned the area within the circle with the detector.
When the detector reached the middle, it went off.
"Ooh-woo~"
Holding his breath, Chen Feng squatted down, took out a small shovel, and shoveled seven or eight times before the detector finally beeped.
Silently digging at the soil on his shovel, Chen Feng couldn't help but curse when he saw the tiny silver grain.
"Damn it..."
The silver grains were pitifully small; if Chen Feng's eyesight wasn't good, he wouldn't have been able to see them at all. They were probably only about a gram, and after deducting losses, they would only cost about four or five yuan.
He really wanted to throw away the silver nugget and perform a sacrificial ceremony, but in the end he couldn't bear to, and based on the principle that even a small fly is still meat, he put it in the bottle.
"Why."
Chen Feng stood up, sighed, and continued walking forward with the detector in his hand.
"Could it be that this is how it is for today?" Chen Feng wondered to himself.
Another long thirty minutes passed, and just as Chen Feng was about to curse, the system notification finally sounded again.
"Come on, according to the minimum guarantee principle, this should be the bulk order, right?"
Chen Feng drew a circle on the ground and began the probe as usual. This time it went smoothly, and the probe went off after only a few steps.
"Yes, yes, that's it..."
Chen Feng squatted on the ground, holding a small shovel, and said with expectant eyes.
I shoveled up a shovelful of soil and ran it over the detector.
The machine didn't make a sound. Chen Feng forcefully tossed the shovel of soil aside, as if he wanted to shake away all the bad luck.
"Jinlai, Jinlai!" Chen Feng shouted loudly with each shovelful of shovel.
After four or five shovelfuls, the detector emitted a "whoosh" sound, and Chen Feng carefully dug through the soil in the shovel.
I hope to see a touch of gold.
After rummaging around for a few moments, when the grayish-white particles appeared before Chen Feng's eyes, Chen Feng immediately collapsed to the ground like a deflated balloon.
"Damn it, why is your sister getting smaller and smaller? I'll pay you, but at least make her bigger!" Chen Feng was about to throw up. What kind of garbage was this?
Gold is nowhere to be found, and silver is getting smaller and smaller. This one is about the same as the last one, worth only about six or seven yuan.
Chen Feng forcefully threw the silver nugget into the bottle, shoved it into his pocket with a sullen sigh.
Damn it, even God is not as good as the guy surnamed Ma. At least the guy surnamed Ma knows to give a minimum guarantee. This whole afternoon wasted.
It's past five o'clock now. Although it's not time to go home yet, everyone is starting to head back.
Chen Feng glanced at them and started walking back. Everyone was panning for gold around the van, not far from each other.
About fifty meters away from the van, Chen Feng was walking forward listlessly when a system notification suddenly sounded.
"Um?"
Chen Feng perked up slightly; having goods was a good thing, but the silver grains he had spent the afternoon with had made him somewhat unconfident.
He took a deep breath, picked up the detector, and began to draw circles. After defining the area, he began to probe step by step.
Chen Feng's expression wasn't as excited as it had been that morning. After all, it was only a few dollars each time, and it would be hard for anyone to get excited.
"Ooh-woo~"
Chen Feng casually kicked the spot where the sound came from, marking it as a sign, then squatted down, took out a small shovel, and started shoveling soil.
I shoveled a handful of soil and ran it over the detector.
The machine didn't make a sound, so Chen Feng shoveled another spadeful.
The shovel still didn't make a sound, so Chen Feng casually tossed it aside and continued shoveling.
After shoveling seven or eight shovelfuls, Chen Feng became somewhat unsettled.
"No, why haven't we shoveled it yet?"
Chen Feng was a little confused; they should have dug it out by now in the past.
After shoveling several more times, the detector still didn't move, and Chen Feng had already dug a hole in the ground.
"Holy crap, did I forget to order something?"
Chen Feng pulled the detector over, wanting to know if the goods were still inside.
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector made a sound as soon as it was pulled over.
"Um?"
Chen Feng looked at the small pit; it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
People around saw Chen Feng squatting on the ground searching for goods. When he couldn't find anything after a long time, two people walked over curiously.
"What's going on? I've seen you digging here for ages!"
"You've dug this deep, and you still haven't seen anything?"
"I don't know either. It seems like the goods were buried a bit too deep this time."
Chen Feng continued shoveling soil, one shovelful at a time, and spoke.
Zheng Ping was not far away and came over when he saw what was happening.
"Has the goods been shipped?"
Zheng Ping took out a towel to wipe the sweat from his forehead and leaned over to ask.
"No, we've dug this deep, but we still haven't seen the goods," the man replied.
"Did we probe the wrong location?" Zheng Ping couldn't help but wonder.
"No, I just checked again, it's right here," Chen Feng said while wiping away the soil.
Zheng Ping was worried that he was a novice and might not be sure, so he casually took his own detector and probed it.
"Ooh-woo~"
The detector did indeed sound, proving that Chen Feng had not pressed the wrong button.
"Damn, it's really that deep. Looks like it's a big one," Zheng Ping exclaimed in surprise.
Hearing this, Chen Feng curiously raised his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The deeper you go, the bigger the goods become—that's a saying that's always been around in the industry," Zheng Ping replied.
After saying that, even he himself became a little excited, as it was the first time he had ever seen goods buried so deep.
"Yes, I've heard that before, and it seems to be true." Someone else chimed in with agreement.
Chen Feng thought about it carefully and realized that there seemed to be such a saying in this industry, but he didn't understand the specific principle behind it.
Maybe it's because gold is heavy and likes to burrow into the soil.
"Holy crap, so Fengzi, you've really hit the jackpot!" the man said excitedly to Chen Feng.
