It was already three in the morning. The turmoil in the abandoned factory was getting more and more intense, but it wasn’t broken through.
“This is too slow!” Lin Zhendong was a little anxious. At this rate, the lair would be destroyed at four or five o’clock in the morning. How would I have the time to search for supplies? I still have to go to class at dawn!”
Suddenly, a warning sign appeared in front of him. He immediately pulled up the zipper of his clothes all the way to the top of his hood. His entire face was hidden under the hood, revealing only his eyes.
Then, he turned around and saw a figure rushing over from a nearby building.
This was a great beauty who was dressed in tight-fitting black clothes, but her beautiful face was exposed.
Lin Zhendong frowned. He had picked up scraps from the Special Protection Department so many times. All the treasure diggers he met had hidden their faces and identities and taken their own things.
This beauty actually revealed an unforgettable beautiful face and even ran over to him. She must be a big trouble.
Although this beauty was not hostile, he had to avoid her.
Just as Lin Zhendong was about to dodge, the beauty called out to him, “Friend, can I ask you something?”
Lin Zhendong didn’t even look at her. He shook his head and was about to run away.
“One gold coin!” The beauty took out a gold coin and tossed it up and down.
Lin Zhendong sucked in a breath of cold air. His father was regarded as a martyr when he was still underage, so he could receive a monthly pension before he turned 18.
Besides the pension, the government especially cared for the orphans of martyrs like him. There was also a special pension of two gold coins per month.
However, he was already 18 years old now, and all his pension was gone.
In other words, this beauty would pay for half of his father’s monthly special pension just for asking the direction!
Rich woman!
The gold coins here were not made of ordinary gold. Instead, they were made by adding various strange metals to the foundation of gold and using a special process. Moreover, such gold coins were not the currency used by ordinary people in the market but were used to purchase agriculture, livestock, and fishery products in the lair site.
One gold coin could buy 5 kilos of the White Jade Rice that Lin Zhendong had eaten as snacks.
Therefore, there were also silver and copper coins under gold coins.
One gold coin could be exchanged for ten silver coins, and one silver coin could be exchanged for ten copper coins.
One copper coin could be exchanged for 50 grams of White Jade Rice.
Lin Zhendong snatched the gold coin. His mind quickly worked on distinguishing the authenticity of the coin. The gold coin emitted fluorescent light.
He nodded in satisfaction. It was real. He immediately stuffed it into his pocket and stored it in his storage space.
At this moment, the beauty raised her eyebrows.
Lin Zhendong did not notice this at all. He stared at the beauty and asked, “What is it?”
“Is your nickname Treasure Hunting Mouse? If so, I have a big business deal to discuss with you,” the beauty said with a smile.
“No! You’ve got the wrong person!” Lin Zhendong turned hostile and shook his head. Then, he jumped onto the fence and jumped down.
“Tsk, it’s a little difficult.” The beauty wasn’t angry at all. Instead, she smiled and snapped her fingers.
Suddenly, the shadow under her feet trembled, and then a burly man appeared behind her.
“Su Yan, what should we do now? I’ve tried several other famous treasure diggers in Riverside City, but they were all useless. The only one left is this guy nicknamed Treasure Hunting Mouse!” the valiant man said in a buzzing voice.
“He stopped for one gold coin just now, so naturally, he will agree to us for more benefits. Let’s not hurry. After all, I don’t trust him at all.” Su Yan smiled and looked at the abandoned factory.
“I was worried for you. Who knows if there really is a Snow Jade Lotus in that abandoned lair? We almost plowed that lair site,” the tough man said with a pout.
“Xiao Ye! Diviner had never made a mistake. There must be a Snow Jade Lotus there. I’ll find it!” Su Yan turned her head and glared at the burly man.
“Are you sure that Treasure Hunting Mouse can find it?” The man named Xiao Ye shrugged.
“After the lairs being cleaned by the Special Protection Department and searched by various treasure diggers with advanced techniques, he was still able to find treasures by himself every time. As long as he appeared, he would not miss a single treasure. Do you think he will be able to find it?” Su Yan said confidently.
“Such a person would not bend over for a few gold coins.” Xiao Ye shook his head.
“A few won’t do, but what about dozens? Hundreds of them? Moreover, I have cultivation techniques and treasures. I have plenty of things to make him work for me! The only thing missing is the trust between us!” Su Yan said with a determined gaze.
“Let’s find him to get his trust. I don’t believe you didn’t do anything to that gold coin.” Xiao Ye smiled.
Su Yan shook her head. “As soon as he picked up that gold coin, the scent that I stuck to the coin disappeared. However, it’s normal. Without this ability, he would have been captured by other treasure diggers long ago.”
Xiao Ye opened his mouth in shock, but he didn’t say anything in the end. He just accompanied her and looked at the abandoned factory under the searchlight….
Lin Zhendong found a new place and muttered unhappily, “Treasure Hunting Mouse? What a terrible nickname. It’s not always that I could find good things others couldn’t. They actually called me Treasure Hunting Mouse! Outrageous! Rude!”
After he found good things in three lairs in a row, many people came looking for him. Moreover, as he gained something every time, his reputation became even more resounding.
However, Lin Zhendong rejected all of them without exception.
“First of all, why should I help people find things? Can’t I find them myself and keep them?”
“Moreover, this ability to find things was brought about by the chip’s scanning function. What if it suddenly failed? If I couldn’t find anything, I might get an enemy.”
“Finally, I still had to attend classes and cultivate, so why should I take time off to work for others? It wasn’t like I was short of food and clothing, so why should I work so hard?”
He threw away these worries and looked at the old factory that was fluctuating violently.
At this moment, a long line of cars drove over from afar.
Lin Zhendong’s spirits were lifted, and so were the treasure diggers who were waiting quietly around.
Looking at the fleet of nearly a hundred containers, one could tell that this lair was about to be broken through because the logistics fleet of the Special Protection Department was here to collect the spoils of war.
Sure enough, a series of glass-shattering sounds rang out in everyone’s minds after a while.
Under the searchlights, the originally black and white abandoned factory suddenly regained its color. Then, the abandoned factory collapsed into pieces, and a total of 8 acres of land became flat.
The searchlights on the helicopters and the searchlights on the ground were extremely familiar with the procedure. They shone their lights on the center of the land.
A three-story yellow pyramid with a radius of several acres and a height of more than ten meters appeared in the middle of the flat land.
“Earth element, level 1 lair with three floors on the surface.” Almost all the people who knew about this muttered with envious eyes.
