Chapter 418: Terrifying Gold Reserves! A Decade of Coincidence!
The golden, radiant sheen signifies holiness and splendor.
Amid this gray‑white pile of rocks, it stands out especially dazzling.
A single glance makes one become enthralled, unable to pull oneself away.
The pursuit of golden things, etched into the very bones of Blue Star people, is hard to erase.
"So I didn't missee, it's really gold?!" Lin Yang rejoiced beyond expectation, leapt to the opposite side, his finger clasping a protruding Stone.
Holding a Flashlight in his hand, he pointed directly at the golden part, his finger slowly brushed over…
At that moment, he seemed to touch the most precious Treasure under the heavens, his body felt as if an Electric Current pierced through, and he shuddered sharply.
In the light, a golden line could be clearly seen threading through the middle of the Stone, splendid and dazzling, shining alluringly.
"You've touched all that gold in Jiang Hen's house, and this little bit is already unbearable?" Su Yang chuckled dumbly.
"The nature is different; those were given away for free, but this belongs to our own property!" Lin Yang said excitedly.
"That's enough, let's keep going down." Su Yang stopped his continued touching.
If he keeps touching, he'll wear through the Stone.
Lin Yang, reluctant, shifted his gaze away, then continued sliding down.
Each on one side, they inspected every piece of rock, leaving no corner unchecked.
Even if it's just a tiny speck, it's still a considerable figure.
The two descended another five meters, and Su Yang's peripheral vision caught a flash of Golden Light, causing his movement to halt abruptly.
He turned the Flashlight around, shining on the spot where the Golden Light emanated.
"My God..."
Su Yang's Pupil suddenly contracted, his face full of disbelief.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yang looked over, startled.
In front of them, a dazzling expanse of Golden Light, and half of the thick rock surface was unexpectedly golden.
A piece of gold this large has value beyond estimation!
"What the heck, is this a hallucination? Su Yang, did you use your Innate Talent on me?" Lin Yang muttered, his Mouth agape.
"I also... thought it was a hallucination," Su Yang swallowed hard, subconsciously licking his lips.
One must know, even for a confirmed Gold Mine, in an era where technology was not advanced, distinguishing gold content could only rely on ultraviolet lamp illumination.
If the ore displayed a yellow or fluorescent green glow, it proved there was gold inside.
But the concentration wouldn't be high; besides gold, there are other metallic impurities.
But what have they seen now?
The gold actually floated on the surface, covering an astonishing several square meters.
As long as luck isn't too bad, extracting this batch of gold would be enough to purchase one or two lamb‑skin jade beast heads!
"Fortune Tile... really Fortune Tile!" Lin Yang rubbed his eyes, and after confirming he hadn't misseen, burst into loud laughter.
"Hahaha... so the real Treasure was hidden beneath the house, so our Six Harmonies Association is actually the richest!"
Earlier he envied Huang Hua for being able to inherit the commercial empire.
He even complained about the difficult predicament he was in.
People are more infuriating than people; the Six Harmonies Association even needs to rely on the breath of the Floating Life Chamber to get by.
Now the extremes have reversed; the seemingly poorest Six Harmonies Association is actually the most terrifying Organization.
Back then those coal bosses, making a fortune just by mining coal, were prosperous and powerful.
Now they sit atop an entire Jinshan, isn't gold worth more than coal?
Moreover, it seems the reserves aren't low, even more terrifying than they imagined.
"Don't get too happy; what if there's only this much inside?" Su Yang, while excited, calmed down.
He always remembered one principle when gaming—never pop champagne midway.
"How could it be just this? I firmly believe this is only an appetizer; there's definitely more inside!" Lin Yang said, his face flushed.
The two continued crawling down, and after descending another five meters they finally reached the bottom.
At a depth of twenty meters, there was still an artificially excavated Passage ahead.
Lin Yang, half‑believing, half‑doubting, glanced inside twice, curiously asking, "It looks like it was dug earlier, so why wasn't it continued?"
"Heaven knows; let's go in and take a look first," Su Yang strode forward.
They say that before mining, disrespecting spirits makes one prone to contamination by unclean things.
Lin Yang, walking inside the cave, felt a gloomy chill, his whole body tingling as if something had crawled onto him.
"There can't be any ghosts in here, right?"
"Do you think ghosts are scarier than people?" Su Yang turned his head to ask.
"The nature is different; ghosts give a direct Vision Perception shock, whereas some people make you feel nauseous and want to vomit," Lin Yang said.
Su Yang paused, half‑smiling, saying, "Then which do you think... encountering a person here is better, or encountering a ghost?"
Lin Yang looked up, shook his head, and said, "In this enclosed environment, what's the difference between meeting a person and seeing a ghost?"
"Is that so?" Su Yang's Flashlight shone straight down, "You really hit the mark with that raven‑mouth of yours."
Lin Yang stared, nearly scared to death.
He saw several skeletons lying on the ground, the hollow eye sockets of the skulls seemingly fitted with two ghostly flames.
"My God, why are there dead people here?" Lin Yang, terrified, hurriedly hid behind Su Yang, clutching his Shoulder with both hands.
Su Yang, irritated, shrugged, "Weren't you once a ghost in a game? Are you scared of this?"
"Having been a ghost, I know how terrifying that thing is," Lin Yang said.
"Look at your cowardice," Su Yang shook his head, smiled, and crouched to examine their clothing.
Without exception, they were all dressed in shabby, earth‑yellow garments, seemingly the Work Uniform of some Company.
"Wuwu—"
Suddenly, a cold gust blew out from the depths, frightening Lin Yang into a sudden start; he leapt up, and his Brain "clank" hit a Stone.
"Ah, damn it."
Su Yang took a flashlight and shone it inside, but found nothing unusual.
"Probably because it's been sealed for too long; don't scare yourself."
"This cursed place is too sinister; the corpses have been lying here for who knows how many years, and no one has come to collect them all this time. How heavy is the Yin qi?" Lin Yang complained.
Su Yang turned the corpse over and let out a light "huh."
"What's up?" Lin Yang leaned in.
"The characters on this…" Su Yang brushed the dust off the corpse's Work Uniform, and looking at the blurred writing, felt a vague familiarity.
"Let me see!" Lin Yang turned over the other corpses, casting his gaze downward.
"It looks like… Ronggui?"
"What?!" Su Yang was startled in his heart and checked again.
Sure enough, the writing on the Work Uniform matched closely with what he knew.
"Ronggui Group?" Lin Yang's eyes were full of confusion. "I recall you said Li Yongfeng founded it ten years ago, right? That guy was involved in shady dealings before."
"Ten years…" Su Yang's Brow furrowed.
Is it really that coincidental?
A house built ten years ago, a company founded ten years ago?
And people from Ronggui appearing in Su Yang's underground, how can it be that there's weirdness everywhere inside?
"Li Yongfeng also said he wanted to cooperate with Su Kang, but the latter didn't agree. Do you think it's because of gold?" Lin Yang asked.
