Chapter 34

At the thought of this, Xiang Fangyang gave a bitter laugh.

He really was unlucky enough; now this had happened, he would definitely have to call the police, and the construction site would have to shut down again.

He could already foresee that he would be scolded by the boss later.

The foreman, Lao Li, had already taken out his phone to call the police just a moment ago.

Now, everyone could only wait patiently.

Xiang Fangyang looked at the excavator's bucket, pondering to himself that this thing definitely needed repairs, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to work later.

There was no other way, so he had to take out his phone and dial Boss Yang's number.

"Hey! What is it? Why do you call me every single day as soon as you get to the site?"

Xiang Fangyang said hesitantly: "That... Boss... it's just..."

"Stop, shut your mouth, don't say a word. I need to find some medicine first. As soon as I hear your tone, I know for sure you've caused trouble again."

A few seconds later.

"Alright, go ahead and say it. Did you dig up another corpse?"

"That, I did not!"

"Then did you dig up a fiber-optic cable?"

"Neither!"

"Then what on earth did you do?"

"Uh... I dug up a landmine!"

"Damn! Isn't it just a landmine! So you dug one up, big deal, you scared the hell out of me!"

"It's not that, Boss. The landmine exploded when I dug it up, and the excavator's bucket... it's been blown to pieces too!"

".... The thing I regret most in my life is being your boss!"

Listening to the sound of water being drunk on the other end, Xiang Fangyang felt incredibly guilty.

He could only say awkwardly: "Don't be like that, Boss. The world is so big, yet the two of us met; this is all fate!"

"Don't, don't, don't... I'm afraid this isn't fate, it's a 'fateful' disaster, isn't it? Before, you were at most just messing up the construction site, but now you're even dragging me down with you. I must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck. I'll arrange for someone to go fix it right away!"

After saying that, he hung up directly.

One could imagine how much of a mental breakdown the boss was having at this moment.

Xiang Fangyang put away his phone and looked at the pit again.

The original half-meter-deep dirt pit had been blasted into a one-meter-deep hole.

Driven by curiosity, he walked to the edge of the hole and inadvertently saw a stone with a nice color exposed by the blast.

Just as he was observing it closely, the system suddenly popped up a panel.

【Shoushan Tianhuang Frozen Stone】

【Weight: 58 grams】

【Value: 1.07 million】

【Introduction: A treasure of China, one of the traditional "Four Great Seal Stones." A precious stone material, its texture is crystalline, greasy, and colorful. The color is naturally formed, distinct, and very rare. The highest quality can reach 200,000 per gram!】

(Seeking flowers and evaluation tickets!).

28. A 1-million-worth stone? Has his brain snapped?

Xiang Fangyang was stunned by the system interface.

1 million? What the heck!

He had originally just thought the color was decent and hadn't taken it seriously at all.

Now, his thoughts had been completely diverted.

He hurriedly pulled the stone out from the cracks in the mud.

Holding it in his hand, the whole stone was only a bit larger than an egg, and it was covered in mud.

If it weren't for the system, he might have even kicked this kind of stone away if he encountered it on the road.

He casually picked up a leaf from the side and wiped it, revealing the pale yellow flesh inside.

In Xiang Fangyang's memory, when he used to play in the mountains, he often encountered these kinds of yellow stones.

The only difference was that the one in his hand had a finer texture, a bit like a frozen stone.

The cameraman saw Xiang Fangyang squatting on the ground playing with a stone and walked over curiously.

"Brother, what are you doing? Isn't this just an ordinary pebble? They're everywhere back in my hometown. If you like them, I'll bring you some prettier ones later!"

Xiang Fangyang looked up and grinned: "You don't understand, this is a gemstone! It's very valuable!"

The cameraman curled his lips: "Are you trying to fool a ghost? Do I look like a fool to you!"

"Believe it or not, I'll tell you secretly, this thing is worth 1 million!"

As soon as these words were out, the cameraman was stunned.

He looked at Xiang Fangyang in disbelief: "Brother, what's wrong with you? Did the explosion just now fry your brain? Let's stop recording the show for now. Come on, I'll take you to the hospital to get your brain checked."

Xiang Fangyang looked at the agitated cameraman, feeling a headache: "You're the one whose brain is fried. Can you even talk? Your brother here is fine."

"Fine? You're holding a pebble and telling me it's worth 1 million. If you were holding a green one, I might have thought it was jade. This clearly looks like an ordinary stone, just a bit better-looking at most."

Xiang Fangyang was really too lazy to explain to him, so he smiled indifferently: "When I have time, I'll take you to find a place to get it appraised, and then you'll know if what your brother said is true."

The cameraman panicked: "Appraised? Brother, don't go crazy. Aren't you afraid they'll throw you out if you bring a stone like that to them!"

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1.

【Popularity】 +1+1+1+1....

——【It's over, the host's brain is probably really fried. Picking up a random stone on the mountain and saying it's worth 1 million, and wanting to get it appraised? Does he think money falls from the sky!】

——【This is hilarious. I originally thought No. 26 would steadily win the championship, but now he's gone stupid. It's truly a comedic scene.】

——【You guys don't know anything. This stone is a gallstone passed by the Jade Emperor. 1 million is an underestimate; I think it's worth 100 million.】

——【Maybe it really is jade, but even if it is jade, saying a piece this small is worth 1 million is indeed a bit exaggerated.】

——【I can be sure this isn't jade, nor is it agate or anything like that. Either it's a type I've never seen, or it's just a good-looking stone. Most likely, it's an ordinary stone.】

——【I guess he's just saying it casually to tease the cameraman. If you really went to get this thing appraised, the appraisal fee wouldn't even be covered.】

Xiang Fangyang looked at the cameraman's expression and simply ignored him.

It was normal for him not to understand, and since it couldn't be explained, there was no need to explain further.

He then turned his gaze back to the pit and picked up the iron fragment inside.

It was covered in rust, and it could basically be confirmed to be a landmine.

Twenty minutes later.

A series of siren sounds came from afar.

The police car stopped at the foot of the mountain.

Immediately after, four police officers came up.

The leading officer saw Xiang Fangyang, and his expression froze.

"Xiao Fang, why are you here?"

Xiang Fangyang smiled awkwardly: "Brother Wang, what a coincidence. I'm working here today."

Team Leader Wang thought for a moment and couldn't help but laugh, probably guessing why he had changed his place of work.

If he were the boss, he would also want to drive this jinx away.

However, in the next second, his expression suddenly turned strange. He looked at Xiang Fangyang and asked suspiciously: "We just received a report that you dug up a landmine here. Please don't tell me you dug this one up too!"

Xiang Fangyang was completely embarrassed now!

He could only nod shyly.

Team Leader Wang tilted his head back and covered his eyes with one hand: "Sure enough! You really are... you never have a moment of peace wherever you go!"

Even the few police officers behind him couldn't help but laugh.

The conversation and commotion here left the foreman and the workers nearby completely bewildered.

Lao Li asked suspiciously: "Officer, how did you guess that he was the one who dug up the landmine? And what did you guys mean just now?"

The police officer next to him, Little Li, immediately chimed in: "You don't even know who he is? He's been a celebrity in the entire Xihai City for the past two days!"

The workers behind looked at each other. They didn't watch the news at all; they were busy as hell every day and barely played with their phones, so of course, they didn't know about Xiang Fangyang's exploits.

Lao Li looked at Xiang Fangyang's shy expression, and his curiosity was completely piqued: "We're all rough men who only know how to work. What has he done in the last two days?"
