Last time it was a whole bottle of gold, I wonder if I can collect two bottles this time.
The second bottle is now almost full, about one-fifth full.
If we could collect two full bottles, that would be amazing.
Picking up the detector, Chen Feng glanced ahead and scratched the back of his head.
He really didn't want to explore this place; his back was aching from walking, but he had already made a sale, so leaving didn't seem like a good idea.
Alright, let's keep going. It shouldn't be too far away now.
Chen Feng walked for another seven or eight minutes, his steps uneven, until the system actually beeped.
"Phew~"
Chen Feng took a breath and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It's not that hot now, but it's tiring to walk around here.
He looked around the area and then started probing line by line with the detector.
The detector only sounded when only a quarter of the way through the soil remained. Chen Feng simply knelt down and started digging with a small pickaxe.
After pulling the sandbags up several times, Chen Feng initially intended to bring over the detector, but after thinking about it, he dug several more times, creating a high sand pile, before finally bringing over the detector.
"Ooh-woo~"
As the sound rang out, Chen Feng laughed and said, "Look at those few strokes of the planer, isn't it straight now?"
I switched to a small shovel and started shoveling soil through the detector on the small sand pile.
After a few shovelfuls, Chen Feng unearthed the goods.
Reaching down into the soil with the shovel, Chen Feng searched and dug, and soon he pulled out a small gold nugget.
The gold nuggets this time are much smaller than the last ones, and are probably only worth around six or seven hundred.
After collecting the gold nuggets, Chen Feng continued walking through the sand with the detector in his hand.
After walking for more than ten minutes, Chen Feng had already left the sandy area, but the system still hadn't given any prompts, which made Chen Feng feel a little disappointed.
Chen Feng found a rock, sat down on it, and took off his shoes.
He bumped his shoe, and sand started falling out. Chen Feng took off his socks and turned them inside out; they were full of sand too.
Chen Feng patted the sand off his socks, muttering to himself in utter bewilderment, "No, I can understand sand getting into my shoes, but how did it get into my socks?"
To be honest, Chen Feng couldn't understand this situation at all. The socks were so tight at the waist, yet they could still be stuffed in. It was really puzzling.
Chen Feng took off his other shoe as well, and felt that he could squeeze out about two ounces of sand from both shoes.
After cleaning everything up, Chen Feng put on his socks and shoes and stood up.
Stepping onto the ground again, Chen Feng felt incredibly comfortable.
It feels so much more comfortable to walk on hard ground.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng walked forward and saw a familiar thicket of bushes, the kind that grows close together.
Chen Feng walked up to it, picked up the detector and probed it briefly. The system made no sound. After hesitating for a moment, Chen Feng decided to kneel down and then crawl inside with the detector.
The shipment rate here is relatively high, so Chen Feng is willing to give it a try.
He crawled in with his butt sticking out, and Chen Feng estimated that he had crawled about ten meters when the system's voice rang out.
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng rubbed his face and then laboriously began to probe back and forth with the detector.
Anyway, the more outrageous the pose, the higher the success rate, right?
When I entered this industry, no one told me that I would have to sell my body.
After probing around and crawling left and right, Chen Feng quickly located the goods.
Chen Feng climbed to the location of the goods, switched to a pickaxe, and vigorously scooped up the soil, quickly creating a small mound.
They grabbed the head of the detector and stretched it towards the mound, but the detector didn't go off; the goods were still underneath.
Switching to a small shovel, Chen Feng forcefully scooped up a spadeful of soil and ran it over the detector.
The detector didn't respond, so Chen Feng threw away the soil and continued shoveling the second shovelful.
After shoveling countless shovelfuls, the detector finally beeped, revealing that the pit in front of Chen Feng was quite deep.
Slowly search through the shovel, carefully digging back and forth.
Soon, Chen Feng saw a small, dark yellow piece appear in the shovel. A smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips as he took the gold nugget in his hand and wiped it clean.
The gold nugget was quite large, probably worth around two thousand seven or eight thousand. Chen Feng grinned and put the gold nugget into the bottle.
Chen Feng looked at the gold nugget and suddenly remembered a sentence.
It is said that a man's knees are worth gold.
Chen Feng had always heard older people say this, and he thought it was a metaphor for a man's backbone and dignity, meaning that a man should not kneel down easily.
After all that, it turns out Chen Feng was being superficial. The original meaning of that sentence was that if you want to find gold, you have to kneel down to pan for it; you can't find it standing up.
A man's knees are truly worth their weight in gold!
See, isn't this it?
Chen Feng looked at the gold and nodded seriously, agreeing with the old man's words.
After putting away the gold bottle, Chen Feng continued crawling forward on his knees to begin his withdrawal process. It was time to withdraw all the gold from under his knees.
After climbing for another few dozen meters, Chen Feng's system beeped again.
He pulled the detector over and began scanning back and forth under the bushes.
Chen Feng painstakingly searched the entire four-meter area before finally finding out where the goods were.
He let go of the detector and left it on the spot, letting the head keep ringing. Chen Feng crawled over, reached out and grabbed the head of the detector, pulling it a little further away.
After switching to a small pickaxe, Chen Feng began to scoop up soil with both hands.
They quickly scooped up a small mound of earth and held the probe over its head.
This time it went very smoothly, and the detector made a "whoosh" sound.
He took out a small shovel and started digging around on the mound of earth. In just a few moments, Chen Feng seemed to see something being pulled away by him.
Putting down the shovel, Chen Feng simply used his hands to carefully search the area.
Half a minute later, Chen Feng pinched a small gold nugget between two fingers and smiled.
The gold nuggets are probably worth around seven or eight hundred, which is quite good.
With a "ding," Chen Feng dropped the gold nugget into the bottle, then picked up his tools and continued climbing forward.
"oh…"
After climbing a few steps, Chen Feng's knees started to ache. He put his things down, rolled over, and lay on the ground, rubbing his knees with both hands.
After pausing for a moment, Chen Feng continued forward with his things.
Gold isn't so easy to cash out.
He came to another bush. There were so many bushes here that Chen Feng couldn't tell which one was which. He was even disoriented and didn't know where he came from.
Before he could even leave the bush, Chen Feng's system beeped.
He swept the detector across the screen, and this time he was quick; before he could even extend the detector, it went off.
The goods were located under the bush closest to Chen Feng.
Having determined the location, Chen Feng immediately switched to a small pickaxe and began digging.
Chen Feng quickly dug a hole next to the bush.
(Do you want to stay here a little longer, or do you want to finish watching Hill City as soon as possible and start the next stage of the story?)
If I wanted to speed things up, I would have sped up the pace and finished the Hill City storyline in six or seven chapters. Thank you again for all the gifts and support, thank you everyone, muah!
