Ding Meng pointed at the coarse rock behind the mountain wall and said, "There's something behind it."
The young man chuckled, and his laughter was very playful. "If there was something behind it, I would have dug it out three hours ago. Would I still need you to teach me?"
Ding Meng also laughed and shook the screen on his wrist. "I'll just ask you one thing. Do you want this money?"
The young man was stunned. Five thousand Star Coins was about five people's daily income. It would be a lie to say that he didn't want it. The problem was that this guy actually said that there was something behind the rock. Anyone with a little common sense would know that this was impossible. However, this guy didn't seem to be joking. He hesitated for a moment, so he turned to look at Li Zhao.
Li Zhao was also doubtful. He said in a low voice, "Brother Wolf, you're very confident, aren't you?"
Ding Meng said, "It's very simple. If there's nothing behind it, the money is yours. But if there's something behind it, I want to be part of the team, and my share has to be included."
Li Zhao nodded slightly. He was certainly willing to accept such conditions, because no matter what, the five of them would definitely make a profit. There was no loss at all. Besides, it wouldn't take too much effort to move this rock.
With Li Zhao's nod, the young man immediately turned around. "Okay, I'll definitely earn your money today."
"Wait!" Ding Meng stopped him again.
The young man laughed again. "What's wrong?
Going back on your word? "
Ding Meng laughed. "You have to dig according to my requirements."
The young man frowned. "How do you want to dig?"
Ding Meng's digging method was very particular. This coarse rock was made of diamond, and it would be very difficult for ordinary tools to move it. Moreover, it was about the size of a shuttle car. The front part of the car protruded from the mountain wall, like a lump of dough stuck to the mountain wall. An experienced miner would know at a glance that this place was abandoned.
However, Ding Meng's method was to dig a ten-meter-long tunnel from both sides of the coarse rock. To put it bluntly, he had to loosen the sand on both sides and then drag out the entire coarse rock.
This process was completed in less than half an hour. Everyone present had some foundation in Origin Energy, so it wasn't difficult for them to do this.
"And then?"
The young man looked at Ding Meng again. He was a little dissatisfied because Ding Meng had been standing at the side giving orders all this while and had not done anything at all.
Ding Meng pointed at the center of the rough embryo and gestured with his fingers. "Just this one piece. Insert the laser cutter and make a rectangular opening. Go in 5 meters deep and 1.2 meters high. Use your strength on both sides. It has to be accurate. You can't miss even the slightest bit …"
His method of digging was obviously to dig a big hole in the center of the rough embryo. In this case, he could either dig out the rough embryo of the golden sand or get a small amount of Diamond Rough Stone.
As everyone exerted their strength together, the rough embryo shattered into pieces. Not long after, the young man's expression changed. "Brother Zhao, what do you think?"
Li Zhao's expression also changed because he also saw that there was a brown metal box about the size of a coffee table in the pile of rubble that had fallen out. The brown color was due to the fact that the surface of the box had rusted over the years. It was obvious that it had been left here many years ago.
The group of young men didn't care what was inside. They directly used the laser cutter to saw off the lid of the box. When the lid was lifted, an entire box of ores lay inside. Each ore was about the size of a fist. They appeared to be grayish-black in color, but in reality, they were faintly emitting a dark red luster.
"Finished Red Stone?" The young man was stunned. Although he was young, his vision was not bad.
Crystal sources were refined from finished crystal ores, and the quality of the finished product depended on its color. The darker and more simple the color, the better the quality. On the other hand, the lighter and more complex the color, the better the quality. On the other hand, the lighter and more complex the color, the better the quality.
This kind of finished red stone was usually used to recharge spaceships. This box was enough for a miniature spaceship to float in space for a month.
The group of laborers reacted quickly. They quickly put the lid back on, pulled out a seal, and tied it on top. Then, Li Zhao used his wristwatch to mark the box with a crystal light. Without saying anything, the young man picked up the box and ran outside. Apparently, he was going to the input point of the conveyor belt.
Only then did Li Zhao turn around and look at Ding Meng with a surprised look. His attitude had improved a lot. "Brother Wolf, I haven't asked which regiment you used to belong to?"
Ding Meng completely ignored his question. "What about my share?"
"This …" Li Zhao had a headache.
Ding Meng said, "How about this? Fifty-fifty. It's fair to everyone."
"How can that be?" Someone jumped out from the side. "You didn't do anything?
You didn't contribute money or effort. Why should we? "
Ding Meng smiled. "If you don't accept, then I'm sorry. I'll have to find another company to work with."
After saying that, he looked like he was about to turn around. Li Zhao quickly pulled him back. "Brother Wolf, Brother Wolf, let's talk about it. Didn't we agree before?
We'll definitely have to include your share. "
Ding Meng sneered. "One share is definitely not enough."
Li Zhao pondered and said, "Brother Wolf, we're all freelance mercenaries. We all have families and it's not easy to find money. How about we split the money 60-40?"
Ding Meng nodded. "Okay, I'll take 60% and you'll take 40%. I'll take a step back."
"You!" Li Zhao and the other three were dumbfounded. What kind of logic was this?
Just now, you were the one who wanted a 50-50 split. Now that you're offering a 60-40 split, you think you're taking a step back? You're even more arrogant than the leaders of the Extreme Robbers.
Before these young men could react, Ding Meng waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me so quickly. If we find something good later, it won't be as simple as a 60-40 split."
Li Zhao's eyes lit up. "Brother, if you can show us something, I have no problem with a 60-40 split."
Ding Meng glanced at him and said coldly, "I'll let you make a small fortune today."
He turned to the other three young men and said, "Take your tools and continue to dig along these two tunnels. The one on the left is vertical downward, and the one on the right is 15 degrees to the right. It's 20 meters long. Let me know when you find something."
The three young men looked at each other. This guy said it so casually. They didn't know if he was telling the truth or not.
Li Zhao immediately smelled the scent of money. Whether it was an opportunity or not, they had to try. So he quickly shouted, "Everyone, listen to Brother Wolf. Let's dig in!
Let's dig in! "
The four of them picked up the drill and started to dig. Their actions made Ding Meng feel ashamed. These people were the ones who really did this for a living. Their actions were much more professional than his.
While they were digging, the young man from before came running back. Ding Meng now knew his name: Dao Xu.
Dao Xu was out of breath from running. As soon as he entered the tunnel, he began to shout, "Brother Zhao, the experts at the Fugui Bird have identified it. They've given us 50 points."
"What?" Li Zhao was overjoyed. He threw the drill to Dao Xu without doing any work.
Ding Meng had already seen the news through Xiao Ai's vision, so he was not surprised. Instead, he pulled Li Zhao aside and asked, "How much bonus can we get?"
Li Zhao's excitement was written all over his face. "At least 5,000 Star Credits."
Ding Meng frowned. Exchanging 50 points for 5,000 Star Credits was actually not too much. After calculating, the guy named Qian Zhenghong, who was ranked first on the leaderboard with 1,200 points, had only earned 120,000 Star Credits in this mine. Of course, he had earned some money, but it was still far from the legendary "fortune". What was there to be happy about?
However, Li Zhao did not think so. Everyone's daily income was only about 1,000 Star Credits. If the harvest was good, it would be around 2,000 Star Credits. Searching for treasure in the mine was not about mining, but about trying your luck. The reason was simple. Everyone knew that there was treasure in the mine, but the exact location of the treasure depended on luck. If you were lucky, you would find it immediately. If you were unlucky, you could wander around for a few days without finding anything.
In fact, the most important thing was that the 50 points had come too easily. How long had it been?
It had only been an hour, so there was still a lot of time left to slowly dig.
After figuring out the reason, Li Zhao became really polite to Ding Meng. "Brother, you're not talking nonsense. 60 to 40 is indeed fair. Come, sit down and have a good rest. We'll do the hard work. Do you want to smoke?
My cigarettes are not as good as Old Red Plum, but it's still a brand. Soft Zhonghua. Brother, if you don't mind, you can have one … "
While he was fawning over Ding Meng, Dao Xu's surprised voice soon came from the passage. "Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, come on, there's another shipment."
Li Zhao did not care about the cigarette butt burning his mouth and rushed in. This time, the butt of the cigarette fell to the ground. This was because he did not see one box this time, but six. Three boxes were dug out from the left and right passages, and they were all heavily rusted metal boxes.
When he opened them, he saw that they were still filled with finished crystals. The color was not as good as the first box, but they were still dark red in color. The quality could not be too bad, and he would definitely get a lot of points when he returned to the appraisal station.
Moreover, according to the direction that Ding Meng had pointed out, it was obviously a shelf buried in the ground. Others could not see it, but Ding Meng's pair of magical eyes could see it.
This time, Dao Xu was not the only one running errands. The four of them picked up the boxes and rushed into the northern passage, moving as fast as wild dogs.
"This … Brother Wolf, how did you know?"
Li Zhao really admired Ding Meng. He had been in the mining industry for many years and had seen countless mining experts. Because of this, he knew that Ding Meng's ability to see the source of the ore was the real deal. Many experts would not have the chance to encounter it in their lifetime.
Ding Meng would certainly not tell him about the "telekinetic vision" cheating device. He looked at Li Zhao meaningfully and said, "Let me ask you one question. Do you want to continue to make money?"
"I will follow Brother Wolf's arrangements!"
Li Zhao quickly straightened his chest and said with a serious attitude, "Seven-thirty is not a problem. I will guarantee Brother Wolf's share first."
Ding Meng snorted disdainfully and said, "Look at you. If I really want a nine-to-one split, you have to agree."
"Of course!"
No matter how unwilling Li Zhao was, he had to admit this point. Even if Ding Meng left them alone, they could only watch helplessly, not to mention a nine to one chance.
Seeing his honest expression, Ding Meng asked calmly, "Well, since you still want to make money, then let me ask you, why did this Fugui company suddenly come to this godforsaken planet to mine?
You'd better answer honestly. "
