The man looked at Chen Feng in surprise, not expecting that he didn't even know how to drive an excavator, yet he came to rent one.
"You really don't know how to drive?" the man asked to confirm.
"I really don't know, but I've seen it," Chen Feng replied.
"Alright, it's not difficult. Come on in and I'll teach you." The man put on the bracelet, got in the car, and started it.
Chen Feng got on the bus and studied with him for an hour.
"Yes, yes, you'll be fine as long as you go slowly. It's just digging a hole, it's not a difficult maneuver." Chen Feng sat in the driver's seat, with the man giving him instructions.
"Hey buddy, I need to tell you this beforehand: if you damage the car because of your own mistakes, you'll have to pay for it," the man added.
"No problem, I'll definitely pay for it." Chen Feng waved his hand, indicating it was a minor issue.
Lin Nian watched from below with great excitement; it was the first time he had ever seen an excavator so close up.
After all, that man doesn't even dream of owning an excavator, this is so cool.
"Alright, buddy, there's also the issue of a fee for towing the excavator over on a flatbed truck. If you can tow it over yourself, that's fine too, understand?" the man added.
"Understood. Take a look at this place and see how much it will cost to tow it over."
They need fuel for their carts too, and 300 kilometers is no joke, so why would they give it to you for free?
The man leaned over and fiddled with Chen Feng's phone, looking at the unfamiliar location.
"Holy crap, this place is so far! Is this a mining site? I've never heard of it before!" the man exclaimed in surprise.
"Why don't you try your luck yourself? See how much it will cost in total," Chen Feng asked.
"Let me calculate, how many days do you want to keep it for?" the man asked, subconsciously taking off the bracelet.
"Let's start with three days' worth."
"Three days..."
"I'll give you a discount, it'll be four thousand, normally it'd be four thousand one."
"The fuel tank is full. Just fill it up again when you return it."
"When do you need it?" the man asked, opening his payment code.
"Arrange for someone to bring it over now, I need it tomorrow." Chen Feng transferred the money to him.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." The man said it was no problem, and soon the excavator was loaded onto the flatbed truck.
Chen Feng and Lin Nian followed behind the man in a Wuling van.
After more than three hours, they finally arrived at their destination.
"Hey buddy, are we going to keep going?" the cart driver asked as he got off the cart.
"Take another fifteen minutes," Chen Feng replied, pressing down the window and sticking his head out.
"Okay." The driver got back into the vehicle and drove for another fifteen minutes before unloading the tractor and driving away on the handcart.
"Brother, can I go upstairs and sit for a while?" Lin Nianzao couldn't wait any longer, and as soon as the person left, he quickly spoke to Chen Feng.
"Here you go, have a seat, but don't start the engine." Chen Feng tossed him the keys.
It was getting dark, and Chen Feng wasn't planning to work anymore; he planned to do it tomorrow.
Lin Nian excitedly ran to the excavator with the keys in hand, fiddling with the control levers and pretending that he was really operating the excavator.
Chen Feng, meanwhile, started preparing a meal in the car.
Although it's possible to start a fire here, firewood isn't easy to gather, so you can only collect it when you're not busy; most of the time, you still have to use alcohol paste.
Therefore, this was the largest amount of alcohol ointment Chen Feng had ever brought.
As for how much I brought, let's just say it is.
If all this alcohol paste were to catch fire, it would be enough to burn the car to a crisp.
"Alright, if you've had enough, come down and eat," Chen Feng said to Lin Nian, who was still fiddling with things.
"Okay, bro." Lin Nian jumped down and handed the keys to Chen Feng.
"Brother, are we going to use this thing to pan for gold tomorrow? How do we do that?" Lin Nian had never done it before and didn't know anything about it.
"It's very simple. Tomorrow I'll find a pit, then use an excavator to turn over all the soil, and you can just rummage through the pit and the soil for goods."
"Oh, I understand, bro. What time do I get up tomorrow?" Lin Nian asked.
"No need to start too early, let's get up at six in the morning and work until six in the evening," Chen Feng said after thinking for a moment.
It's too late; operating an excavator is dangerous, and he's a scoundrel anyway.
There's no need to get up too early; they won't be able to get up anyway.
Including meal times, a 12-hour workday is sufficient.
The two of them finished their meal and went to sleep. They woke up around 5:40 in the morning.
They cooked a can of food in the morning and shared it. Lin Nian took his tools, while Chen Feng carried the keys and searched around the area.
After walking for about four or five minutes, Chen Feng found a good spot.
There were probably more than twenty items in there. Chen Feng drew a mark on the spot and went back to start the excavator.
"hey-hey."
The engine roared to life, and not only Lin Nian, but even Chen Feng himself was quite excited.
I used to play with toy excavators when I was little, but I never imagined that I would actually drive a real one when I grew up.
"Lin Nian, stay away, I don't want to bump into you," Chen Feng shouted, craning his neck.
"good!"
Lin Nian carried his things a little further away, and Chen Feng slowly drove his excavator to the place he had drawn.
Recalling the operation, Chen Feng slowly lowered the excavator's boom, then yanked the hook back sharply, catching a large chunk of air...
Chen Feng emptied the small amount of soil from his shovel to the side, and Lin Nian's voice rang out from below.
"Bro, there's nothing in the shovel, you've scooped up nothing!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's forehead was covered in black lines. You think I don't know, huh? You even repeated it for me.
This time, Chen Feng stretched out his shovel again and dug halfway up. He then emptied the soil from the shovel to the side, knowing there was nothing in it.
As Chen Feng dug deeper and deeper, he gradually became more adept at it.
After digging up the surface, Chen Feng piled the soil into a large heap and spread it out on the ground, otherwise Lin Nian would have difficulty exploring later.
When they had dug enough, Chen Feng got out of the car.
A pit two and a half meters deep and more than three meters in diameter was thus formed. The edges of the pit are sloped, so there is no fear of not being able to get out after going in.
"Brother, what do we do?" Lin Nian walked over with the detector.
Chen Feng stood at the edge of the pit for a moment, then pointed to the pile of soil and said, "Explore that pile of soil."
"Okay!"
Lin Nian jogged over, and Chen Feng followed with the detector as well.
He wanted to know the quality of the goods here.
As soon as Lin Nian got his hands on it, he noticed the detector was beeping, so he started digging and sifting through the soil with a shovel.
Lin Nian was indeed quick; the small shovel flew past in a flash.
Moreover, the soil dug out by the excavator is particularly easy to dig, as it is quite loose, and a single scoop yields a large amount.
Within minutes, Lin Nian had found the item.
As he worked through the dirt with his shovel, Chen Feng kept a close eye on the object, eager to know what their first one was.
Lin Nian quickly shook out the goods, and a smile instantly appeared on his face as he looked at the item in his hand.
"Holy crap, bro!"
