"This is so awesome!" Lin Nian said, grinning as he held the vacuum tube and sucked air.
Lin Nian moved the vacuum tube back and forth repeatedly, making sure to suck up every last drop of gold dust. After he finished, he carefully checked the bottom again to make sure there was nothing left before leaving.
While Chen Feng was making money, he had already moved on to the next location and continued to drill holes with an impact drill.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
After a few thrusts of the impact drill, a large rock was cracked and forcefully pried out with the drill bit. Chen Feng then continued drilling.
"Take a sniff."
When the drill bit could no longer go in, Chen Feng called Lin Nian over to clean it up.
"Alright, Brother Feng," Lin Nian said, taking a step back after finishing his inhalation.
Chen Feng picked up the impact drill, stepped forward, pressed it down, and started drilling. This time, Chen Feng drilled through the hole, expanding the area considerably.
Since there were no fragile items down there, and gold isn't afraid of being drilled, Chen Feng's approach was quite simple and crude: who cares if he touches gold or not, just go all out.
"Alright, you can keep using this place. I'm going to find the next spot." Chen Feng said and swam away. Lin Nian, holding the vacuum tube, began cleaning the area.
They kept swimming like that until noon, when Li Chunlai called them to lunch, and only then did the two of them swim to the surface.
"Phew, I was bursting to use the toilet." Chen Feng took off his clothes and the first thing he did was find a place to go.
When he returned, Li Chunlai asked him with a smile, "How was it, Brother Feng? Are you getting used to being underwater?"
"It's alright, I'm doing pretty well here," Chen Feng said, lighting a cigarette.
"Holy crap, you guys sucked up so much gold?" Huang Fei asked in disbelief as he stood by the gold-sucking ship.
He came over after hearing that Chen Feng and the others were coming up, and he specifically glanced at the money-absorbing ship before coming.
I was shocked when I saw the result.
The thick layer of gold inside is almost equivalent to their daily income.
The problem is that they've only been here for half a day. What would happen if it took a whole day?
"Just make do, take a tiny sip." Chen Feng gestured with his hand to indicate how tiny it felt.
"Oh my god, alright, alright, it seems like it'll have to be you who steps up. All of us have been busy for a day or two, and it seems like we haven't even caught up with what you've accomplished in just one morning," Huang Fei said with a grin.
"Let's eat, let's eat. We've almost digested what we ate this morning," Chen Feng said, and the group headed back to the camp.
"I'll take your place this afternoon," Li Chunlai said to Lin Nian.
"No need, I'm not too tired. This job is much easier than yesterday," Lin Nian shook his head.
“Okay, call me when you’re tired,” Li Chunlai said.
"Doesn't anyone care about me? I've been drilling with a hammer all morning. At least give me a break," Chen Feng said, pointing to himself with his chopsticks.
"Um, Brother Feng, have some meat," Li Chunlai said, placing a piece of meat on his plate.
Huang Fei lowered his head, shoveling rice into his mouth, suppressing a laugh, and remained silent.
"I just remembered something my grandma used to say: 'The more you know, the more you can do; if you don't know anything, you'll avoid getting tired.'" Chen Feng smacked his lips, looking completely in agreement.
Of course, Chen Feng was just joking with them; they couldn't do the job at all, so Chen Feng had to do it himself.
After finishing their meal, Chen Feng and Lin Nian continued their underwater journey. They worked quickly and estimated they could finish this area by the afternoon.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
After Chen Feng finished chiseling, Lin Nian came over to suck up the contents. He rummaged around and looked down, saying, "Brother Feng, it seems like there aren't many of these."
"How can there be so many of them? What are you thinking?" Chen Feng ignored him and chose a spot to continue digging.
"That's true." Lin Nian nodded and sucked the area clean.
They continued chiseling until it got dark, which is usually the time when they would have already reached the top.
"Brother Feng, are we still going to keep going?" Lin Nian asked.
"This is the last one, let's finish it first." Chen Feng gestured with the impact drill, then pressed it down, and the riverbed was cracked open with each strike.
"Sigh." Chen Feng's tone quickened; he knew that the more he did it, the harder it would get.
Lin Nian also moved very quickly, going up and grabbing the vacuum tube to suck it up.
"Clang clang clang clang..."
Chen Feng finished the task in one go, and then expanded it outwards.
"All done, go ahead and take a drag," Chen Feng said.
good."
Lin Nian kept swinging the vacuum tube back and forth, making the most of every second.
Finally, when it was difficult to see anything clearly at the bottom of the river, Lin Nian sucked up all the pebbles and gold sand.
"Brother Feng, it's all done," Lin Nian said.
"Let's go up."
The two of them swam upstream together, and when they reached the shore, they were both panting.
Actually, once you're out of the water, the sunset is still quite large, but it's very difficult to see things clearly underwater.
"Take a break, take a break and get ready for dinner." Li Chunlai came over and helped them take off their diving suits.
"How's the harvest? We need to get more done today." Lin Nian himself was a little hesitant to even think about it.
"Hehe, there's a lot. I'll go get a bucket and sift it out." Li Chunlai said as he went to get a bucket, and the two of them sat on the shore. Huang Fei also came to join in the fun.
"Did you work late today? Are you all done underwater?" Huang Fei asked.
"That's all done. Tomorrow's your job," Chen Feng said.
After all, if it weren't for the golden sand at the bottom of the riverbed, it would all be physical labor of moving stones and shoveling silt, so there would be no need for Chen Feng to go down there.
“Alright, I’ll lead the charge tomorrow,” Huang Fei said with a smile.
"Here we are, let's see how much we've reaped today." Li Chunlai, carrying his equipment, sat on the ground and began sifting gold.
"Holy crap, this is already topped out! There's so much gold hidden at the bottom of the river!" Huang Fei said, looking at the gold dust with great astonishment.
"So you think I bought this impact drill for nothing?" Chen Feng said, taking the cigarette Lin Nian offered him.
As Li Chunlai gently shook the sand back and forth, the grains of sand were slowly carried away, leaving only the golden sand.
Li Chunlai took out a piece of paper from his pocket, dried it, and placed the gold sand on the electronic scale.
Upon hearing the number, several people instinctively gasped in surprise.
"Holy crap, how much does this cost?" Huang Fei asked, his eyes wide.
"My God, there are so many?" Lin Nian gasped.
Even he, who was doing the underwater suction, never expected there to be so many.
"Stop arguing, stop arguing, let me calculate, let me calculate." Li Chunlai took out his phone and started pressing buttons.
"Hmm... after deducting losses, multiply by four hundred, it equals more than eighty-fourty-one thousand."
Li Chunlai's eyes widened as he spoke, until they almost popped out of their sockets.
"Eight hundred and forty thousand? My goodness!" Huang Fei said to the crowd in disbelief.
"There are over 800,000! Holy crap, just this one is almost equal to all our previous income!" Lin Nian exclaimed in astonishment.
Chen Feng smiled as he looked at the result.
That's right, that's the right amount of money. What was a few hundred thousand before? 840,000 is more befitting his status.
