Chapter 33: Striking it Rich (Part 1)

  "Silly, we'll dig above the rock." Yang Tong said to Feng Xiaobo, "Besides, with this rock blocking us, even if we do find something, it won't be discovered."

  "Let's make one thing clear first," Feng Xiaobo asked seriously, "if we find something, how will we split it?"

  "That's right, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Let's do it this way, we'll divide the land according to who chose it, whoever chose the land gets an extra share of whatever is dug up." Yang Tong thought for a moment before responding, "For example, if I chose this place and we dig something up, six layers will be mine and four tenths will be yours. What do you think? Do you have any other opinions?"

  "Very fair, let's divide it this way!" Feng Xiaobo nodded, the extra layer was a lucky bonus, which was fair for both parties and didn't hurt their relationship. If they really divided it 50/50, that would be taking advantage of the other party.

  "Alright, let's start digging." Yang Tong nodded, "If we really find something later on, stay calm and whoever finds it first should put it in the storage ring immediately, don't make a sound."

  "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so bold and daring, Yang Tong! You're usually so quiet and reserved, like a silent gourd. Who knew you had such a wild side?" Feng Xiaobo said with great surprise, jokingly.

  "Cut the crap, I'll let you in on a little secret: today's my lucky day. I had a feeling about it before I even left the house - I'm going to make a killing today!" Yang Tong said with a half-joking, half-serious tone.

  The wind and waves began to dig into the ground without a word of approval or disapproval.

  The outer city of Luoyang is extremely large, and the siege war that took place more than a week ago concentrated all the city's forces in this area. Several million people gathered here, which can be imagined to have such a large outer city range, and this is only the eastern part of the outer city.

  Due to the threat of beast groups in the wild, human settlements in this world are not based on villages, but rather on large collective counties. The population of a county is at least three or four million people. Also, because of the vastness and sparseness of the Wind Xuan Continent, even the county cities have considerable land areas.

  Many young people on vacation come to the outer city to dig for treasure, but if they are distributed in the four directions of east, south, west and north, the large number of young students will appear very sparse.

  Yang Tong and Feng Xiaobo dug a pit with a diameter of three meters. They had been digging for two meters deep, but still didn't get any harvest. In fact, such blind excavation was not reliable, but for 1 billion Ling coins and 100 million points, flipping the soil and digging the ground wasn't a big deal.

  "Yang Tong, shall we continue digging? Should we change the location?" asked Feng Xiaobo, taking off his outer garment with a somewhat depressed tone.

  "Keep digging, how big a hole have you dug so far?" Yang Tong retorted, in fact, Yang Tong's intuition was getting stronger and stronger, if he guessed correctly, it should be the strong premonition given by the Town Soul Copper Coin.

  After digging for another half hour, Yang Tong finally dug three meters deep under the boulder and excavated a beautiful crystal stone.

  "Xiao Bo, look quickly, this..." Yang Tong was extremely excited as he hugged the blue crystal stone that was about the size of a ball. The longing in his mind grew stronger and stronger. Yang Tong almost instantly understood - it turned out that the copper coin needed to absorb this crystal stone.

  "We've struck it rich! We've struck it rich!" Feng Xiaobo exclaimed excitedly.

  Yang Tong quickly put away the Dì Hún Jīng, made a silencing gesture and whispered: "Keep your voice down, what should we do now? If this gets out, it might lead to a catastrophe!" Yang Tong was obviously much more mature than Fēng Xiǎo Bō, remaining calm in the face of such sudden great wealth.

  "Hush——" Feng Xiaobo quickly covered his mouth, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said: "This land soul crystal is worth a city. Now we go back, sell it to the Mercenary Guild, and get their protection. Otherwise, our whole family will be in danger. And if they ask where we dug it up, how should we answer?"

  "Just answer truthfully, let's just say we casually found a place and dug it up. Let's go, hurry back." Yang Tong carefully felt again, the previous feeling was gone.

  Feng Xiaobo's movements were swift, after putting away the shovel, he jumped back to the ground, took out the flying disc motorcycle, called Yang Tong, and headed north.

  "Yang Tong, let's go back now and take a detour on the way," said Feng Xiaobo, "should we call Brother Da Ren?"

  "I think it's unnecessary, we'd better get rid of this thing as soon as possible, otherwise it will be a long and sleepless night." Yang Tong refuted.

  Feng Xiaobo nodded in agreement, and then said excitedly: "We've made it, 10 billion spiritual coins, you get 6 billion, I get 4 billion, hahaha... even if we break our legs, we can enjoy the rest of our lives."

  "Ah, yes, and there's also 100 million Mercenary Guild points. I've heard those points are extremely valuable." Yang Tong replied.

  "Yes, the Mercenary Guild is a powerful organization that spans the entire continent. As long as you have enough guild points, you can be admitted to the guild and become a member of the Mercenary Guild. For people like us who come from humble beginnings, once we enter the guild, we will inevitably be cultivated as if we were part of the inner circle. I've even heard that the Mercenary Guild has technology for artificial awakening." Feng Xiaobo said with utmost admiration.

  "Artificial Awakening?" Yang Tong had never heard of it before, and humans actually had such technology!?

  "Yes, artificial awakening is not a secret. The Wu Xuan Empire, which is above the kingdom, has such powerful technology. The Mercenary Guild is one of the superpowers on the Wind Xuan Continent, and it naturally has such technology." Feng Xiaobo answered excitedly, before he didn't even dare to think about artificial awakening, because the cost of artificial awakening was too high, and it wasn't something that a commoner like him could afford.

  "Alright, artificial awakening! I understand." Yang Tong had a huge ambition at this moment, which was to strive for the opportunity to provide his parents with artificial awakening.

  Half an hour later, the motorcycle stopped in front of the Mercenary Guild, and the two walked in shoulder to shoulder.

  "Remember, when we hand over the task later, try to be in a situation with fewer people, can't be too ostentatious." Yang Tong said quietly.

  "Give it to me." Feng Xiaobo said, walking with Yang Tong towards the counter. Feng Xiaobo whispered something to the person in charge of the counter. The middle-aged man carefully sized up the two of them, then went upstairs, and after a while, came back down, saying to Feng Xiaobo: "Please go upstairs, both of you."

  Yang Tong and Feng Xiaobo walked up to the second floor, where there were many VIP reception rooms. At this time, Li Fangxin, the vice president of the Luoyu County Mercenary Guild and a Terran-level martial artist, was sitting in a quiet VIP reception room.

  "Two little friends sit down and say, would you like to have a drink?" Li Fangxin said with a smile, without any airs.
