Although Chen Feng didn't know what a river was, he had a system that allowed him to know where the goods were as soon as he walked forward.
The man drew the lines, and most of the goods were with him, while his side only had a few scattered pieces. How could he possibly agree to that?
"We're not buddies, this isn't right," Wang Lei said with a dry laugh.
"You draw the lines, I'll pick first. If there's anything wrong, you can't just draw the lines yourself and then pick it yourself, right? You have to be reasonable, right?" Chen Feng said, spreading his hands.
Upon hearing this, Wang Lei was immediately embarrassed. What he said seemed to make sense, but in doing so, wasn't he just digging his own grave?
"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just sit here in this awkward situation and neither of us will try to find any more gold. If we keep dragging this out, other prospectors will come along and there will be even more people sharing the spoils."
In the past, Wang Lei was always the one leading others by the nose, but this time he encountered Chen Feng, and he was truly at a loss. This guy was just too difficult to deal with.
"If you ask me, let's skip all the fancy stuff and just try our luck at finding something. Whoever finds it keeps it, how about that?"
Chen Feng made a seemingly fair suggestion, but he had a system that allowed him to know exactly where all the goods were, making him many times faster than Wang Lei.
Upon hearing this suggestion, Wang Lei was overjoyed. He was just about to say that Chen Feng was a formidable opponent when Chen Feng delivered himself right to his doorstep.
Just browse randomly?
He was a geologist, after all; he knew exactly where the goods were plentiful and where they were scarce. The riverbed in front of him was crystal clear to him.
Chen Feng actually made this suggestion in front of him. Isn't this like showing off your skills in front of Guan Yu?
Who knows, Chen Feng might even run out of the riverbed while he's shoveling water.
Although he was overjoyed, Wang Lei hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Alright, since there are no better suggestions, then this is the only way. We're relying entirely on luck, so don't try to renege on the deal later."
“Of course, whoever defaults is a coward.” Chen Feng couldn’t be happier to hear him say that, and spoke while holding the detector.
“Okay, let’s get started.” Wang Lei nodded, and the two of them began shopping at the same time.
As soon as Wang Lei's detector touched the ground, Chen Feng's detector went off.
Chen Feng put the detector on the ground and immediately started digging with a shovel.
Wang Lei didn't expect Chen Feng to ship the goods so quickly, but although he was a step behind, he wasn't in a hurry.
That kid was just lucky; he happened to run into one, which is perfectly normal.
Wait a minute, once you leverage your strengths, he'll be far behind you. For now, let him be smug for a while.
Chen Feng had already used seven or eight shovels before the detector on Wang Lei's side finally went off.
Chen Feng shoveled away the dirt one shovelful after another, his speed this time was simply astonishing. He had never dug a hole this fast since he started panning for gold. The shovel was practically smoking from the effort.
After all, he couldn't afford to be slow. In the past, no matter how fast or slow he was, the goods were his. This time, if he was even a fraction slower, someone else would snatch a piece of the goods away. How could he not be anxious?
He dug the hole quickly, and soon felt it was almost done. He switched to a small shovel and started shoveling the soil, his hands moving so fast they were almost blurry.
The process of shaking off and passing the soil was completed in one smooth motion without any pauses, making it incredibly fluid and visually appealing.
He quickly shook off a silver coin. Chen Feng picked it up without even looking at it closely, and threw it back into his bag without even putting the small bottle away.
He stood up, grabbed the detector, and headed straight for the next shipment. With a casual swipe of the detector, it emitted a "whoosh~" sound.
He squatted down, picked up a shovel, and started digging out the second piece of goods. Wang Lei, who was behind him, was startled when he heard the sound and subconsciously looked up.
Dude, how come you're shopping so fast? Are you kidding me?!
He hasn't even found the first piece yet, and you're already on the second? That's outrageous!
Wang Lei believed he was incredibly fast at finding gold; he had seen many gold prospectors, but none could match his speed.
Today, however, he has truly been opened to the world.
"No, he was just lucky. The water level was just right. It won't be this fast in a while," Wang Lei comforted himself, his hands moving at lightning speed.
However, compared to Chen Feng, he is still far behind.
After all, once Wang Lei finds the goods, he still needs to use a small shovel to dig through the soil, one shovel at a time. How would he know what depth the goods are at?
Chen Feng, on the other hand, carried a large shovel and went straight for the goods, swinging it without even looking at them. He would only switch to another tool when he felt comfortable with it. Naturally, the difference in speed was like night and day.
With each shovelful of soil, a gold panning pit quickly took shape. Chen Feng picked up a small shovel, dug around in it a few times, and found the gold.
Shaking off the soil and passing it through the detector, Chen Feng found the goods in less than half a minute without any pause.
It was a small gold nugget. Chen Feng glanced at it, then tossed it into his bag and headed straight for the next shipment with his tools.
"Ooh-woo~"
"Ooh-woo~"
The sounds from both detectors rang out simultaneously.
The first one is Chen Feng's; he has already reached the position of the third item.
The second one was Wang Lei's. He finally found the location of his goods and was about to shake the soil over the detector when he saw Chen Feng already carrying a shovel and starting to dig a hole.
"Holy crap, how is he so fast!"
Wang Lei looked up at Chen Feng and was shocked again; he was a little dumbfounded.
If the first item was in a good location, does that mean the second item will also be in a good location?
Even Wang Lei himself didn't believe what he said.
In his anxiety, Wang Lei quickened his pace.
Since he joined the gold mining industry, he has always been outmatched. No gold miner has ever put as much pressure on Wang Lei, and there has never been anyone who could put pressure on him.
He was under immense pressure this time; he even started sweating.
After all, seeing others already on their third try while you haven't even found your first one yet, how could you not feel the pressure?
Despite his thoughts, Wang Lei's hands didn't stop moving; he quickly scooped the goods out of the shovel.
It was a silver nugget. He glanced at it, stuffed it into his cloth bag, and then hurriedly started scanning the second piece with the detector.
Just as he was sweeping up the second piece of goods, Chen Feng had already dug the pit and started shoveling soil with a small shovel.
"Ooh-woo~"
"Ooh-woo~"
The detectors sounded almost simultaneously again. Wang Lei couldn't help but look up at Chen Feng's back, his eyes filled with shock.
Such a fast speed again, how is that possible!
However, Chen Feng was in front of him and had no idea what he was thinking. Even if he did know what he was thinking, Chen Feng wouldn't bother to look at him.
Every second I look at you is a waste of my time. Right now, grabbing the goods is the most important thing. Who has time to look at you?
Chen Feng quickly shook the shovel, flung out a silver grain, held the detector in his left hand, picked it up from the ground with his right, and took a step forward.
