However, later on, it was discovered that the ancient tombs were clustered together, which saved him much time and effort. As a result, Luo Feng had not scanned any villages or towns for quite some time.

A few minutes later, the scan was completed, and it revealed an astonishing 15 treasure markers.

“Uncle, which place should we go to dig for treasure?” asked one of the children.

“Hmmm, for today, let’s just wander around the town and try our luck!” Luo Feng replied before climbing into his luxurious car, with his devotee Li Shishi joining him in the front passenger seat. The two children sat at the back.

However, after a moment of thought, Li Shishi unexpectedly decided to sit in the back with the children, leaving Luo Feng without a long-legged beauty by his side.

After all, having a beauty in the front passenger seat was a delightful experience for a driver. Even though Luo Feng would not touch her inappropriately, simply looking at her would be quite pleasing to the eye. “Let’s see if we can dig something up here!” Luo Feng suggested after getting out of the car, pointing at one of the markers.

“A garbage dump?” Li Shishi was equally surprised. Could treasures really be found in such a place?

“Little Long, try digging here!” Luo Feng instructed one of the children. “Little Hu, you dig over there!” He then pointed at a third spot, “Emmm, Shishi, you dig here!”

Yes, this is how things should be.

All the locations Luo Feng had pointed to had no treasure. It would be a bit too incredible if they found something right away.

Soon, Luo Feng and the two children began to dig. In no time, they had dug pits several tens of centimeters deep. However, aside from some discarded cans and household garbage, they found nothing of value.

“Hahaha, wouldn’t it be embarrassing if we do not find anything?” one of the children joked.

“I think it is already starting to feel awkward!” added the other.

“Come on, host! Why don’t we go to the mountains instead? What kind of treasures could be found in a garbage dump?” suggested one of the viewers.

“Maybe you could help the children by burying something in advance and then letting them dig it up?” proposed another.

Even though they had not found anything yet, the children’s spirits remained high, and they showed no signs of frustration. This was the difference between rural children and their urban counterparts: they were better at handling setbacks. Of course, there were also strong-willed urban children, but this was not always the case.

“An hour has passed, and we have not even found a single coin!” one of the children exclaimed.

“Host, digging in a garbage dump is a new experience for me!” the other added.

Feeling that they had dug long enough, Luo Feng pointed at a spot, “Maybe there is something there. Why don’t you try digging?”

Who could beat Luo Feng when it came to planning? Every treasure hunt was meticulously rehearsed. He knew exactly what was where and whether it was valuable or not. The purpose of this elaborate setup was to create a series of thrilling moments for the livestream.

“I found something! I found something!” Little Long excitedly shouted.

Upon inspection, Luo Feng saw Little Long eagerly digging through the dirt, paying no mind to the fact that they were in a garbage dump. Soon, a gold ring encrusted with soil was unearthed.

“Ah? Let me see!” Luo Feng took the ring and examined it, exclaiming dramatically, “Well, you two are quite lucky! This is a gold ring, and it looks like it weighs around ten grams or more. Quite heavy! It’s worth about 6 thousand yuan!”

Upon hearing 6 thousand, which was an astronomical amount of money to them, they became even more giddy with excitement.

“Take it and keep it safe. I will find someone to accompany you two to sell it. As for living expenses, this should be enough for a year of junior high, right?”

“Thank you, Uncle Luo!”

“Thank you, Uncle!”

At the same time, Little Hu, who had been directed to another location by Luo

Feng, excitedly shouted, “Uncle, I found something too!”

Luo Feng walked over and found that Little Hu had dug up something quite large—an old-fashioned cabinet. Upon opening the cabinet, they discovered a multitude of old, small-denomination coins.

“Good job, kid! You’ve struck it rich! These are one-cent coins from 1981!”

“Uncle, it’s just a one-cent coin. How is it a fortune?” Even Little Hu, a rural villager, knew that one cent could not buy anything.

“Haha! You don’t understand, do you? Although it’s just one cent, the 1981 coins had a limited circulation, making them worth 6 thousand yuan in the market!” Luo Feng happily explained.

“Wow! How can a one-cent coin be worth thousands of yuan?” Little Hu did not understand, but if Uncle Luo said it was valuable, it surely must be. “It’s true! I know this edition is very expensive in the market!”

“Amazing! These two kids are rich now!”

Luo Feng continued to examine the small coins in the drawer. Among them, only the 1981 coins were worth thousands.

“By the way, any of you collectors interested in buying these coins? I’ve already appraised their value!”

For the 1981 coins, of course, there were wealthy collectors willing to buy them. However, the gold ring did not hold much collectible value as its worth derived purely from the gold itself. Instead of taking the two children to a gold store, which was not available in the small town, Li Shishi suggested buying the gold ring for herself and taking it home as a keepsake.

“Damn, I’ve never made 6 thousand yuan a day before! To think I’m worse off than these two kids!”

“Yeah, they made as much in a day as I do in a month!”

“Stop talking! I’m so depressed!”

“Damn it, Old Luo, I was wrong! Take me treasure hunting instead!”

Luo Feng headed toward the second treasure location, an abandoned factory building about 5 kilometers from the small town. The area was desolate and practically uninhabited.

“Uncle, this place is haunted. You shouldn’t go in there!”

“Haunted, really?” Li Shishi’s face changed, and she wanted to cling to her husband’s arm, but he was only her husband in her heart.

“Yes, it’s an old nitrogen fertilizer factory. My grandfather told me that people died there, and then came back to life, causing ghostly disturbances!”

Luo Feng laughed, unconcerned. Many of the wealthy heirs were not afraid of this either, so they all entered the factory. There were two treasure locations inside, both behind the factory building.

“I will go to the back and check. You all look around and see if you can find any treasure!”

Luo Feng led Li Shishi, An Peng, and a few other followers to the back of the factory. As they walked around to the back, they saw an area enclosed by a cement wall, densely planted with various herbaceous plants. It looked quite strange…

“Poppy plants?”

Luo Feng’s eyes widened immediately. As someone from the countryside, he was familiar with these plants.

That’s right. These were the raw materials for addictive substances. While these plants could be found in the wild, Luo Feng would never believe that such a large plantation could be formed naturally.

“Wow, Luo Feng, the wild grass here is so lush!” Li Shishi did not recognize the plants and happily squatted down to examine their growth.

“Haha, Shishi, aren’t you afraid a poisonous snake will suddenly appear?” Zhang Shunyong teased mischievously. “Damn! Host, these are poppy plants!”

“Really?”

“What are poppy plants?”

“You don’t know?”

“They’re the raw material for making Opium!”

“Damn, how many acres is this?”

“This whole area? Enough to land you in jail for 30 years!”

Luo Feng nodded, “Indeed, these are poppy plants!”

After saying that, Luo Feng turned and left. The area was not safe. It was not hard for him to guess the truth behind the ghost stories…

The next treasure location was a basement, accessible by a staircase. The basement was about 25 square meters, containing a table and several chairs.

“Uncle, is this the treasure chest? But it has a combination lock, and we can’t open it!” Little Long suddenly picked up a black briefcase.

“Let’s get out of here first!” Luo Feng did not linger, as the covert poppy plantation was clearly intentional. He had no idea when the people who had planted it might return.

However, as soon as Luo Feng took the briefcase, a system notification appeared.

[ Ding! Cocaine, valued at 800,000 yuan… ] Upon hearing this, Luo Feng’s hand trembled slightly. It seemed that this place was indeed a thieves’ den….
