As Jiang Feng shoveled, a palm-sized stone with a golden tinge emerged from the soil.
Jiang Feng immediately recognized it as a naturally formed nugget of gold!
"Look! Look! I told you there was gold!"
"No more talk, I'm going to find the qingcao plant right away!"
"Brother, you're too late, I've already started digging!"
"This is insane, the streamer's luck is way too good, to have stumbled upon a nugget of gold!"
The viewers in the livestream were also stunned by the nugget of gold.
They never expected that Jiang Feng would actually unearth gold by randomly digging in the ground!
Many people were incredibly envious.
It's worth noting that the laws of the Blue Star Hua Nation are very relaxed. Unless it's an owned item, any nugget of gold found belongs to the finder.
At that moment, Jiang Feng set down his shovel, bent over to pick up the nugget of gold, and wiped off the dirt.
He found that the nugget was of poor quality.
Although the nugget was palm-sized, it only had a thin layer of gold coating on the surface.
Its weight was negligible.
From Jiang Feng's knowledge, someone in Hua Nation once found a nugget of gold weighing over twenty pounds, worth millions!
Jiang Feng shook his head as he examined the nugget in his hand.
"Everyone, take a look, this nugget of gold isn't as valuable as you might think, and it only has a thin layer of gold on the surface."
Jiang Feng held up the nugget for the viewers to see.
When the viewers saw the condition of the nugget, many felt disheartened.
Indeed, pie falling from the sky is a rare occurrence.
"Aw, I got excited for nothing. I thought it was a solid chunk of gold."
"This should still have a few grams of gold, which is still worth some money."
"I don't care, I'm ready to take action anyway!"
"I have a feeling the qingcao plant in Hua Nation will be wiped out overnight!"
Many viewers were disappointed.
But there were still those who saw it as an opportunity to get rich.
Even though this nugget was small, what if there were larger nuggets under other qingcao plants?
Many people immediately became restless.
Some had even started taking action.
Seeing the chat messages, Jiang Feng said, "Everyone, please stay rational."
"The chances of finding gold under qingcao plants are extremely low. Instead of chasing these elusive dreams, you'd be better off working in a factory."
"Not listening, not listening..."
"I don't believe it, streamer, I'll go find it too, just like you did!"
"That's right, I've already quit my job. Time to get rich!"
"What a bunch of pipe dreamers, how is this any different from the gold rush in the West centuries ago?"
There were still rational voices in the chat.
The trend of digging for gold in the ground had occurred in foreign countries a long time ago.
Some people got rich, while others lost their lives.
It was a bloody process.
Seeing some viewers get so carried away, Jiang Feng felt helpless.
After all, who doesn't want to get rich overnight?
"You guys are just looking to strike it rich overnight."
"I'll dig up all the remaining qingcao plants to show you if there's any gold underneath."
To help the viewers be more rational, Jiang Feng decided to dig up the rest of the qingcao plants to show them.
Pie doesn't just fall from the sky.
With that said, Jiang Feng started digging with his shovel.
The viewers watched eagerly as Jiang Feng worked in front of the camera.
They hoped to find gold, yet feared Jiang Feng would dig up...
At that moment, bun and Yuan Xiao noticed Jiang Feng working and scurried over, whimpering.
When bun saw Jiang Feng's actions, it immediately reached out its paw to stop him.
"What do you think you're doing?"
Jiang Feng paused and looked at bun.
Whimper whimper whimper!
Work! Make money!
Whimper!
Treats!
Bun and Yuan Xiao stared at Jiang Feng with bright eyes.
They even stretched out their paws to grab the shovel from his hands.
The two little ones fully understood that if they worked, they would get treats.
As for actually putting in effort or being helpful...
As long as they showed up, they could get food!
So when bun and Yuan Xiao saw Jiang Feng working, they eagerly ran over.
Jiang Feng tapped the two little ones' heads helplessly.
They claimed to help him work, but every time they just made things harder for him.
Jiang Feng didn't dare hire them anymore.
Whimper whimper whimper!
Whimper!
Seeing Jiang Feng ignore them, the two started whimpering and tried to snatch the shovel from his hands.
"All right, all right, you two win. Just sit over there, and I'll give you treats."
Whimper whimper whimper?
You think we're bears or something?
Whimper!
Exactly, exactly.
Hearing that, the two little ones shook their heads.
They weren't freeloaders!
"Fine, then go dig over there."
Jiang Feng pointed to a random spot for bun and Yuan Xiao, then ignored them.
The two wobbled over and started digging with their paws.
Jiang Feng wanted to say something to them but stopped when he saw how happily they were whimpering as they worked.
Meanwhile, many viewers in the livestream felt their hearts sink.
As Jiang Feng dug up half of the qingcao plants, there was nothing underneath.
Not a single thing.
"See, I told you there's no gold."
Jiang Feng took a break and pointed to the dug-up qingcao plants.
"This is so disappointing... I refuse to believe there's no gold, please keep digging, streamer!"
"Everyone, abandon hope. If gold was that easy to find, would you even need to do this?"
"Exactly, you'd be better off finding a job instead of wasting your effort."
"Wah, I already handed in my resignation letter, can I still go back to the factory?"
Seeing that Jiang Feng dug for so long without finding anything, many viewers gave up hope.
It's truly rare for regular people to stumble upon nuggets of gold.
Throughout history, the number of people who have found nuggets of gold in Hua Nation, a country with over a billion people, can be counted on one hand.
To fully convince the viewers, Jiang Feng quickly dug up the last remaining qingcao plant.
As Jiang Feng's shovel hit the ground one last time, the viewers in the livestream let out a collective sigh.
Getting rich is sometimes just a matter of luck.
"Now you all understand how difficult it is to find nuggets of gold."
"With this much effort, you'd be better off just getting a job."
Jiang Feng smiled as he said in the livestream, dissuading many viewers from pursuing their fanciful dreams.
Just then, bun suddenly ran over and tugged at Jiang Feng's clothes, excitedly pointing its little paw at the hole it had dug, urging him to take a look.
Jiang Feng patted bun's little head helplessly and glanced over at the hole it had dug.
"Bun, you... Holy crap!"
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead?

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
