Team Leader Li crouched in front of the newly extracted soil samples, looking completely crestfallen. His earlier fighting spirit had been extinguished in an instant, and the sense of loss was hard for him to accept.
The collection of soil samples from the mountain was not going well. Team Leader Li and his team had used Luoyang shovels to dig at seventy or eighty different spots, but they had all come up empty. No traces of gold were found in any of the extracted samples.
"Team Leader, come look at this!" At that moment, a survey team member came running down the mountain, clutching a chunk of rock. His face was flushed with excitement.
Under the sunlight, the ore in the team member's hands seemed to shimmer brilliantly. Team Leader Li, who had been looking dejected just a moment ago, immediately shot to his feet and took the rock from his subordinate's hands.
