MTL - Plutocrats From the Gold Rush-Chapter 1 gold hunt
Chapter 1 Gold Hunt
"Gudong, Gudong, hoo."
In a wilderness full of loess, a young man is drinking water with his head up.
This is Bald Eagle Country, located deep in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California.
The young man is called Xie Jin, and his English name is Stan Xie.
He is an international student from across the ocean.
And the reason why I came to this inaccessible ghost place.
It all started more than half a year ago.
Half a year ago, Xie Jin, who was originally studying at the University of San Francisco in Bald Eagle Country.
One day, I suddenly received a message from my parents in China.
Because of the impact of the economic crisis, the factory at home cannot make ends meet and is facing difficulties.
At this critical moment, the partner who opened the factory with his parents did suddenly lose contact abroad with a large sum of money.
Sudden bad news, the parents were not prepared at all, and they were forced to come to the door by countless suppliers and creditors in the blink of an eye.
After the results are self-explanatory.
His parents were eventually forced to close the factory and declare bankruptcy.
And even so, after the factory closed down and liquidated.
His family is still facing the crisis and pressure of tens of millions of debts.
So, after realizing that there was nothing he could do, his parents sent him a message.
Tell him not to go back if he has the ability.
To avoid this kind of embarrassment.
and gave him the last sum of money on his body.
Facing such bad news, Xie Jin was naturally anxious, but he was helpless.
He is a student who is still in college, although he claims to be a good young man in the new era.
But in the face of this sudden predicament and pressure, there is nothing to do, there is no way.
In desperation, he first chose to drop out of the University of San Francisco where he was studying five months ago.
Because he simply couldn't afford expensive tuition fees.
After that, on the other hand, he began to look for Chinese shops in the San Francisco Bay Area to work in order to ensure that he could have some income and make ends meet.
After that, he has been in a daze, and he still contacts his parents in China from time to time, trying to comfort them and find a way to solve the predicament.
However, the tens of millions of debts and the dead end of the factory bankruptcy are obviously not something he can solve as a dropout in the United States who can barely make ends meet.
Of course, there is no unparalleled road, perhaps because of his luck, or because of his fate.
Three months ago, when he was working in a restaurant in despair, a turning point appeared and changed his fate.
Finally got him here.
The Sierra Nevada Mountains in California.
An important mining area in the Bald Eagle Country.
It is also the only major gold mine in Bald Eagle Country.
…
After drinking the water, take out the compass and look around, looking for markers and identifying the direction.
Carefully follow the veins of the mountains and rivers in front of you, looking for possible traces of ancient river beds, your own destination.
Soon, Xie Jin found the target he was looking for in a wilderness.
Then, after spending another half an hour, he finally arrived at his destination.
An uninhabited mountain stream covered by gravel and weeds is also one of the ancient river channels that once flowed through the river.
Swimming among the rivers and mountain streams, boarding a boulder, looking for a suitable camping place.
Soon, Xie Jin, who found the place, immediately pitched a tent and set up a camp in an open upwind area.
After that, he put down his backpack, immediately took the tool bag and the gold pan on his back, and impatiently followed the mountain stream to a corner of a mountain stream piled with a lot of pebbles.
After that, he carefully planed the ground of the dry riverbed.
After cleaning up countless pebbles, the black mud below was exposed.
Soon, countless deep black mud wrapped in gravel appeared in front of his eyes.
Take out the gold pan, put the sand in front of you into the pan, then run directly to the nearby stream, and start shaking carefully.
Finally, as he kept shaking the gold pan in the stream.
I don't know how long it has passed.
As the sand in the gold pan gradually dispersed, it was mixed into the water.
A touch of gold hidden at the bottom of the gold pan, under the sand, caught Xie Jin's eyes.
"**!Hold!"
Looking at the shallow gold in the pan, Xie Jin clenched his fist with one hand and waved it excitedly.
Mouth even more swear words of unknown meaning to vent the excitement and excitement in my heart.
Ghost knows, a young man who is alone in a foreign country suddenly learns of bad news at home.
And I can’t help, I have a home and can’t go back, I have no relatives, and the future is uncertain.
How much pressure and inner blow he has received.
If it weren't for his tough nerves, and at the same time, he knew that if something happened to him, the parents in China would be more sad and desperate.
He doesn't even know where he is now.
And now, when he saw this thin layer of gold in front of him.
It's really no problem to find yourself suddenly awakened cheating finger.
Be able to help him change his destiny and the status quo, and solve his own situation.
One can imagine the excitement and excitement in his heart.
…
I don't know how long it has passed, Xie Jin, who was standing in the stream, holding a pan for gold, finally regained his composure gradually.
Afterwards, he took the gold pan, walked quickly to the shore, and returned to the camp. After pouring the gold sand in the gold pan into the prepared canvas bag.
Looking at the charming Jinsha in front of him, his thoughts gradually drifted into memories.
Three months ago, he was working in a Chinese restaurant with a good owner.
An accident, on the way home after work, he picked up a simple wooden pendant.
He didn't care about this at first, he just regarded it as good luck.
If it wasn't for later, when he accidentally scratched his hand by a pendant while he was taking a shower, maybe everything after that would never have happened.
That pendant is a special inheritance item passed down from an unknown era.
There is a special energy inside, which can guide people, transform it into a special profession, and awaken to master a special power.
According to the information sent to him by the broken pendant.
It came from the leader of a long-ago civilization who didn't know the meaning.
The occupation he obtained was precisely that civilization that was the most powerful, and relied on it to survive in ancient times.
They call him Lord of the Sky, Son of Nature, but at present, Xie Jin prefers to call this profession Wilderness Hunter.
The reason is because of the two abilities he currently possesses.
One is the power that enables him to find gold mines in the wilderness, the breath of the wilderness.
An ability that enables him to perceive the existence and breath of all things within a certain range.
Include countless lives, gravel, minerals, metals, and more.
Countless items will be directly in his perception, and he will "see" them very clearly.
Like color sensory vision in a thermometer.
Everything has different colors in his perception.
Make him know the nature and characteristics of that item.
Just like the gold sand mine deep in the river under his feet at this moment.
It was precisely because of this ability that he was able to accurately find the buried gold mine in the wilderness with the help of professional knowledge.
It was also because of this reason that he chose to come here to dig for gold.
In addition to this ability, another ability is danger perception, which is also the reason why he judges his profession in this way.
As the name suggests, this ability allows him to perceive all maliciousness within a certain range.
And can also judge all nearby creatures based on perception, hostility to oneself, kindness, fear, and other different emotions.
Of course, in addition to these two abilities, his body is also due to the awakening of this profession.
During these three months, earth-shattering changes have taken place.
Now he can be said to be a superman beyond imagination in all aspects.
Especially in terms of resistance and adaptability, endurance and strength and physique, it is extremely abnormal.
It has reached an inhuman level, beyond common sense.
It is also because of this that he was able to cross countless barren mountains and mountains so easily, and walk deep into the wilderness alone with a bag on his back, and he was able to pan for gold like a normal person.
