Persimmons are poisonous.

Chapter 1121 The Rise

A violent explosion gouged out a deep pit at the impact point of the satchel charge.

Fang Er picked up his hammer and walked over, raking it a few times, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although he hadn't seen the gold mine, this was much easier than digging it himself.

The black natives watching from afar, upon hearing the sound of gunpowder exploding, immediately cowered on the ground, trembling.

In their understanding, only divine lightning from the heavens could produce such a sound.

As if by reflex, they recalled their tribesmen who had climbed the breadfruit tree for fruit during a rainy day. The thought of them being crispy outside and tender inside, smoking all over, sent shivers down their spines.

Meanwhile, Fang Er had changed his prospecting method. He retrieved a large transport motorcycle from the system's warehouse and rode it along the area marked by Wang Xuance and the others, continuously throwing satchel charges.

When he felt he had thrown enough, he would stop, take out his sniper rifle, and shoot them one by one.

The rumbling explosions continued. The black people could no longer stay put. Led by their chief, they took to their heels, shouting something inarticulate.

After detonating the satchel charges, he waited for the dust to settle before checking the pits that had been blown open.

This operation did indeed lead Fang Er to a surface mineral vein.

Within the bluish-brown rocks, interspersed were golden ore. Seeing this, he instantly became happy.

He squatted down, placed his hand on the gold ore, still warm from the explosion, and communicated with the system to collect it.

"Sister Tong, come out and work~~"

"Zzzz~~~"

Fang Er felt very wronged. Why had he been shocked again?

After spitting out a puff of white smoke, he asked the system speechlessly.

"Sister Tong~ Why is this!"

[You little brat, I'm not going to argue with you, but you've really latched onto that name, haven't you? Try and actually poke me if you dare!]

[It's mercy I'm showing if I don't turn you into roasted chicken~! You filthy pig!]

Fang Er quickly denied, "I'm talking about the system's 'tong', you're the one with the dirty mind!"

[Don't you remember that I'm in your mind~]

[As soon as you show your backside, I'll know what kind of shit you're about to produce. What are you pretending for~]

Fang Er: ........

Damn it, could his thoughts also materialize into words in his consciousness first?

But speaking of which, he had heard of ice, he had heard of fire, but he had never heard of electricity~

What would that feel like?

As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he felt a current surge through his crotch~

"Zzzz~~~"

"Ooooh~~~"

Fang Er's eyes widened, he instantly jumped three feet high, and upon landing, he cupped his hands over his lower body and rolled on the ground.

The sensation was so electrifying it sent his soul to heaven!

After a long while, he got up from the ground, looked around, and found that Wang Xuance and the others hadn't noticed him. He quickly pulled open his clothes to check. Damn it, had he really been turned into roasted chicken?

Although he wasn't roasted chicken, he had become a plucked chicken~~

The hair that had once been tied into pigtails by Little Qing had now turned into a clump of ashes~

He complained to the system with tears in his eyes, "Big sister, do you have to be so brutal? This is about my lifelong happiness!"

[Get lost, who are you calling "our"? That's Chai Yue and the others' lifelong happiness, what's it to me!]

Fang Er almost spat out a mouthful of blood from being retorted, but what she said seemed to make sense~

To hell with making sense, I don't want to hear those three words right now!

He set aside the matter of extracting gold ore, took out an Iveco, opened the door, and got in.

After looking around the surroundings, he sat in the back and started giving himself a physical examination.

While busy, he sang a song to comfort himself.

"Be strong, be strong, be strong!"

"My heart feels a bit weak, but my face must remain steady. When facing tough situations, I must stand tall!"

"~~~~~"

"Heh heh heh~~ It's not broken! Hahahahaha~~~"

Seeing the results of his examination, Fang Er instantly jumped three feet high, his head banging against the car roof with a "dong". He rubbed his head without caring, tidied his clothes, and walked towards the car door.

As soon as he reached the door, he saw Wang Xuance and the others squatting by a rock not far away, smoking and talking.

Xue Rengui nudged him with his elbow, "Hey, you guys, should we find a native girl for the Duke to vent his frustrations?"

Ge Luoyang quickly shook his head, "Only you would come up with such a lewd idea. Forget about the Duke, would you even fancy those native girls?"

Xue Rengui closed his eyes and imagined it for a while, then his body uncontrollably shivered, "Hiss, forget it, just thinking about it is scary, they're as black as charcoal~"

Seeing this, Wang Xuance smiled slightly, then lowered his voice mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret, the Duke is attracted to both men and women~!"

Ge Luoyang was startled by this, and quickly glanced towards the Iveco. Seeing that Fang Er hadn't appeared, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Holy crap, boss, you can't just spout nonsense like that. If the Duke hears it, we'll all be finished!"

Xue Rengui also glanced towards Fang Er, then said, "It's fine, the Duke is still busy in the car. Old Wang, tell us how you know? Huh? Could it be that you've already been...~ by the Duke?"

Wang Xuance shoved Xue Rengui, making him stumble, and said indignantly, "Get lost! It's you who got...~ by the Duke!"

Xue Rengui didn't get angry. He got up from the ground, brushed off the dust, and asked him with a smile, "Since you're still innocent, how do you know the Duke's secret?"

Wang Xuance exhaled a puff of smoke, tilted his head back to look at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, adopting a look of reminiscing about the past.

"Remember that time we captured the little motorcycle? It was in the Treasure Pavilion. The Duke kicked us all out, and only he and the little motorcycle stayed inside. That day, I heard some strange noises."

"That poor little motorcycle, it kept shouting 'no' at first, and later it was eagerly urging the Duke to hurry~"

Hearing this, Xue Rengui and Ge Luoyang exchanged glances, seeing a look of utter shock in each other's eyes, and then simultaneously looked at Wang Xuance's backside.

"Holy crap! What do you mean by that!" Wang Xuance was struck as if by lightning. He immediately backed away, looking at them warily.

Ge Luoyang grinned slyly, "Hehehehehe, you're the boss, by seniority, you should be first, shouldn't you?"

After saying that, he pulled Xue Rengui and walked towards the gold prospecting ship in the distance.

Xue Rengui played along, "Old Wang, the burden is yours. We're going ahead first~~"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a cold voice from behind them.

"Where do you think you're going!"

The three of them shivered at the sound. Turning their heads, they saw Fang Er standing by the Iveco, staring at them, his face as dark as those natives.
