As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

“I found something, but it’s not quite what you’re hoping for,” Luo Feng replied, a playful grin on his face.

“Is it some kind of ore?” Gu Santong surmised, sharp as always. To his team and him, antiques were the crown jewels, but what else could be unearthed from the ground if not minerals?

“Yes, exactly. It’s ore!”

“What kind of ore?” Gu Santong, though primarily interested in historical relics, couldn’t suppress his curiosity.

“It’s a gold mine!”

“A gold mine? Wait… a gold mine?” Gu Santong stuttered, his mind struggling to process the revelation. His eyes widened in surprise. “A gold mine? Truly?”

Yes, a resource of extraordinary scarcity.

This was not only a rarity in China but a coveted resource worldwide.

“It is indeed a gold mine,” Luo Feng confirmed. “Though calling it just a gold mine isn’t entirely accurate, for there are also beryl mines. As you might know, they’re equally valuable.”

“Of course! If there truly are substantial deposits of gold and beryl, you’ll need to speed things up here so that I can focus on mining,” Luo Feng advised.

“Haha, indeed! Young man, you’ve truly stumbled upon a treasure trove! No wonder you unearthed a gold nugget. It turns out it wasn’t left by Shen Sanwan but is a part of an extensive gold mine!” Gu Santong chuckled heartily, nodding in agreement, “Rest assured, we will hasten our work and leave this place to the mining department!”

“Thank you, Mr. Gu. I won’t impose any further. I’m heading up. Please, carry on,” Luo Feng bowed slightly and left the tomb of Shen Wansan.

For the impending mining operation, Luo Feng knew he couldn’t merely rely on his Swallowtail Hoe.

Such a method would be agonizingly slow. He would need professional mining crews armed with large-scale equipment to develop the site efficiently.

“A gold mine?”

“Did I hear that right? A colossal gold mine?”

After Luo Feng’s departure, Gu Santong’s disciples snapped back to reality.

“And beryl too!”

“Incredible! These rare minerals are a remarkable find!”

Meanwhile, Luo Feng, having returned to the surface, cast his gaze toward the gold discovery site, which was now a hub of activity.

His villagers were trickling in, and almost a hundred people had already congregated.

This place was secure, resistant to minor disturbances.

Even overseas. these villagers were immilne to officials from the conntrv of

Sakura. And here, in their homeland, under the protection of domestic authorities, they were unassailable.

Luo Feng’s concern wasn’t security.

He called his helicopter pilot, ordering him to transport the ores back for analysis and yield estimation. Only then could the mining crew be dispatched.

In truth, however, Luo Feng need not their calculations. He had his scanning system, after all.

“Activate a level 10 scan!”

Moments later, treasure markers littered the ground at Luo Feng’s feet.

The sight of dense treasure markers everywhere he looked was both awe-inspiring and daunting.

Luo Feng’s breath hitched as he took in the colossal size of the ore mountain. It was a gigantic mine pit, no doubt.

Somewhat taken aback, he recalled Shen Wansan’s treasure basin. It truly was a basin filled with treasures.

On the fifth day, Gu Santong and his team successfully retrieved some artifacts from Shen Wansan’s tomb, taking measures to fortify and protect the site. On the sixth day, several 95 -ton XCMG mining machines rolled in at the base of the mountain.

Mountain mining was a formidable task, but to a nation obsessed with infrastructure like China, these were mere inconveniences.

They had constructed high-speed railways and bridges of higher complexity; erecting a bridge here would be child’s play. “Those mining machines are gargantuan!”

“They look like monstrosities!”

“They’re not going to survey first? They’re already starting work without checking how much ore lies beneath?”
