As A Trash Collector, I Collected A Imperial Jade Seal

107 You Can Look, But You Cannot Touch! (2)

“Let’s take that abandoned steel factory as an example. I heard rumors of a nasty owner burying their money there, and I decided to search the place in hopes of locating the buried money!”

“And as you all know, a battle had once taken place there during World War II, but there were no official records of it happening. It is in times like this where rumors come in handy. Ask around the villagers in an area you’re interested in, and perhaps you might come across something unexpected!”

Luo Feng was an expert when it came to winging things.

Moreover, this bullsh*t reasoning was something Luo Feng had been cooking up for a couple of days.

Therefore…

Once Luo Feng was done with his rant, most of his viewers had been convinced.

“Damn, the road to be a master treasure hunter is a long and arduous one!”

“Based on what the host is saying, in order to become a treasure hunter, I’ll need to have knowledge that is equal or surpasses that of an expert?”

“Indeed. The level of mastery that the host is preaching is beyond the reach of most highly-esteemed experts!”

“Haha, I’ve always believed in Old Luo when he mentioned that he was conducting market research! Take that non-believers! Luck alone can’t solve everything!”

“That’s right. If it were just luck, how could he have located this many treasures consecutively?”

“The host is bonafide super genius! He’s my new idol!”

“It seems that true treasure hunters are incognito experts, then!”

“A few years ago, I watched an interview involving a master treasure hunter. Back then, he claimed that even a hundred of those so-called experts would not stand a chance against his wealth of knowledge. I used to doubt him back then, but after watching Luo Feng’s streams, I’m starting to feel that his words have a ring of truth to them!”

“Well, if those experts actually had the ability to hunt for treasures, they likely would’ve abandoned their positions long ago and dive into the treasure-hunting business like Old Luo here. After all, who doesn’t want to be rich?”

Another hour passed.

Luo Feng looked back. He was now 7 kilometers deep into the woods from the foot of the mountain.

He had reached an area that rarely saw any human activity.

Even children from the countryside would not have ventured into such a location alone. After all, the mountains were rife with wildlife, and they could easily put the children in harms’ way.

The denser a forest was, the higher the probability of wild beasts inhabiting them.

This had applied to Daze Mountain, where tons of wildlife scurry about, including tigers, leopards, wolves, wild boars, wild cats, and so on.

Though Luo Feng and his party had barely encountered any of these creatures, there was an ever-present danger of them appearing.

In regards to venomous snakes, however, Luo Feng and his party could rest easy. He was equipped with protective gear from head to toe, and thus, he had nothing to fear unless the snake had leaped up and bit directly at his face.

Revisiting a different matter, Luo Feng had finished scouring the 20-odd dots – all of which were medicinal herbs- that he had detected via his scans.

All together, they were worth around 100 thousand yuan.

Throughout the day, Luo Feng had activated his scanning ability twice, and the most expensive item that he had found from both scans was e, Feng Luo had scanned it twice. The most expensive item was a species of Dendrobium Officinale, which cost more than 200 thousand yuan.

“Host, it’s already late in the afternoon. Shouldn’t you head back down the mountain to rest?”

“There’s f*cking nothing on this mountain, it’s all worthless medicinal herbs!”

“The f*ck you mean there’s nothing? He got at least hundred of thousands’ worth of herbs, and you dare call it nothing? Just how rich are you?”

“Dawdle here any longer and it’s going to be dark soon. Host, are you perhaps planning on spending the night outdoors?”

“Haha, a late night livestream deep in the mountains. I’m actually kinda looking forward to it…”

“…”

After taking his meal, Luo Feng then stood up and addressed his viewers, “Stop making wild guesses, guys. We won’t be heading back down the mountain today. After all, going back and forth is quite a waste of time. I’ve only secured a month long permit to forage in this area, so every second counts!”

Luo Feng was in no hurry to unearth any valuable treasures.

It was a gargantuan mountain, after all.

How could he not find anything?

Even if he really were to come out empty-handed by the end of this excursion, there was nothing to fret about, he could just scan a different area.

Now that he had amassed such a large following, he had no need to use his Reputation Points sparingly.

He had checked his Reputation Points a day before, and he realized that he was already at 5 million.

It was enough to scan 10 whole times!

“Damn! Are you really going to spend the night in the mountains?”

“Od Luo is really unlucky today. He only managed to locate a few hundred thousand yuan’s worth of natural resources!”

“What’s the hurry? Just sit back and relax. Those of us who’ve been here since the beginning have already brought out our recliners and are chilling with watermelon and drinks in our hands!”

Another hour passed.

Luo Feng and his gang had gone even deeper into the mountains.

He had detected even more items with his scan during this time.

More Dendrobium Officinales, mandrakes, and various other precious floras have been found.

However, compared to the treasures that Luo Feng was used to finding, their values were considered to be rather low.

Along the way, Luo Feng had not found much use for his trusty Swallowtail Hoe and felt that it was just collecting rust.

However, not long after felt that sentiment, he reached a tree and detected a dot that indicated that there was a million yuan’s worth of treasures located there.

“Viewers, your host has finally found something of value! But…” Luo Feng that pointed at the tree before him and asked, “Do any of you recognize this tree?”

“No clue. The heck is it?”

“Could it be purple sandalwood?”

Luo Feng chuckled and answered, “What kind of purple sandalwood would this be hahaha! It’s clearly an aromatic fruit tree! However, since it’s a protected species, and since it’s still alive, I can’t take it back with me! Otherwise, the medicine that is produced from its parts are very valuable! Based on its size and girth, I reckon that it could fetch at least a million yuan!”

Luo Feng was surprised. This was the first time the system had marked a treasure that could only be seen, but not touched.

He had been scammed by the system!

“Dammit! What are you afraid of, host? Just cut it down and dig it out!”

“It’s a rare treasure that’s hard to come by! How can you just let it go to waste!”

“What are you scared of? You’re the Bank of Communications’ rising star! You have the backing of a state-backed company!”

Even though the tree was worth a million, as it was a living thing, he had no choice but to respect it.

After walking for about 800 meters, there found a few other dots.

However, they were all wild trees such as camphor trees, Chinese parasol trees, Chinese evergreen oaks, and golden-flower tea trees, which are classified as first or second-grade protected garbage.

This left Luo Feng speechless.

As for why Luo Feng had referred to them as garbage, it was because they had caused their own extinction.

After all, if they were not garbage, how would they have become endangered in the first place?

Just take the strong and resilient rats for example, they breed like rabbits, and as a result, they are not a protected species.

In nature, the species that were protected by humans are generally first-grade protected waste or second-grade disabled waste that cannot survive on their own.

It was already 7 o’clock.

The sky had turned completely dark.
