The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 192 There is such a competition? (4000+)

As the clouds dispersed and the rain settled, Joanna was in Zhu Yu's arms, talking about her longing and family matters.

In her heart, Joanna was actually very grateful to Zhu Yu.

Because my father planned to get involved in a new business and couldn't borrow money, he was in a bad mood, and he would bring it home.

Some time ago, the atmosphere at home was very bad.Joanna didn't know how to help her parents.

She didn't tell Zhu Yu, but she didn't expect Zhu Yu to contact her father immediately after inquiring about it, and promised that she wouldn't treat herself badly because of it.

The two men who loved her the most cared about her so much, and Joanna felt a lot of happiness.

The next day, Joanna went to school reluctantly, and Zhu Yu received a call from George.

George left the Seven Axes bar yesterday, and received a thank you call from Heine that night.

Although Heine is still not sure whether there is anything he needs in the stack of documents, but George led the way and helped him find the person he was looking for this time. Thank you is a must.

George was very happy to be able to catch the line of Heine, and now the relationship with Zhu Yu had eased, and his status in the circle of treasure hunters in New York had risen a bit.

So George felt he needed to do something more.

For example, right now there is a gathering of treasure hunters, and he wants Zhu Yu to attend.

"Treasure Hunting Contest?" Zhu Yu was a little surprised, "Is there such an event in New York?"

"Yes." George explained with a smile, "It turns out that there are more such activities in Europe. Because there are more ancient castles with a long history, and it is easy to find some lost treasures in the ancient castles.

Later, a treasure hunter brought this activity here, and there are quite a few treasure hunters here. They thought this activity was pretty good, so they kept it. "

"When? Where?" Zhu Yu thought it would be good to feel it, so he asked.

"Tomorrow, at a manor on the outskirts of the city. It has some history there. Before the Civil War, it was the manor of a slave owner. It has changed hands several times since then. It is said that a treasure was found inside."

"Okay." Zhu Yu became interested, "Then I want to participate."

George sent Zhu Yu the address, told the time, and then hung up.

Zhu Yu's feelings towards George changed a bit, this old man - he's not so annoying.

He called Ran Jie in his car, and together they went to buy a metal detector.

This thing is the standard equipment of ordinary treasure hunters, Zhu Yu doesn't want to be a maverick.But at his own level, he can only cover it up.

"Going to treasure hunt tomorrow?" Ran Jie asked curiously, "Shall I go too?"

"Go, let's go together."

"Then I'll buy one too."

Neither of them bought expensive ones, ordinary ones around $[-].

Ran Jie took it and was eager to try it, Zhu Yu asked him to try it at the rented house, while he went back to the villa.

Cathy then reports:
"Someone sent an invitation letter to invite you, Mr. Zhu, to participate in the treasure hunting conference."

Zhu Yu was a little curious. His name actually entered the circle of treasure hunters. It seems that he is quite valued?
After receiving the invitation letter, seeing that the wording on it was more polite, and the time and place were suitable, Zhu Yu put it aside and planned to go there the next day.

The next day, I met Ran Jie and saw him fiddling with the metal detector with great interest, so I asked:
"How is it, have you used it?"

"It's over, I helped the owner find a knife that had been lost for many years in the rented yard yesterday."

Zhu Yu smiled, not bad, once you use it, you will gain something.

A metal detector is a bit like a minesweeper, with a disc on the bottom and a long oblique handle on the top. There is a display screen on the handle, which corresponds to different values ​​when detecting.

This metal detector is more user-friendly. The hand-held position is covered with a layer of artificial leather, which is more closely connected with the arm, and it is also convenient to hold with one hand.

The two drove to the destination and found that many people had gathered here.

Most of them are just like them, holding metal detectors and waiting to enter.

Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were also carrying backpacks, with a shovel in their left hand and a metal detector in their right hand, and walked to the door.

Zhu Yu showed the invitation letter, and the people guarding the door let him go immediately.

Most of the people gathered outside were amateur treasure hunters who came here for fame, but it was obvious that they would not be allowed in now.

"Why can they enter, but we can't enter?" Someone complained loudly.

"Because they have an invitation letter!" The gatekeeper explained, "They are official treasure hunters, approved treasure hunters, and they are completely different from you rookies!"

"I don't believe they are better than us!" Someone said angrily, "When I get inside, I want to see what they are capable of!"

Some people echoed, some people watched.Many people came here to join in the fun, and some people aspired to become famous here, finding treasures and becoming famous in the treasure hunting world at the same time.

George arrived 10 minutes later. He didn't see Zhu Yu, so he thought he hadn't arrived yet, so he called.

Zhu Yu answered the phone, and George said:
"Zhu, haven't you arrived yet? Contact me when you arrive. I have an invitation letter to take you in."

Zhu Yu didn't expect George to think this way, so he said:
"I got the invitation letter yesterday, and I have already entered the manor. Come in too, professional treasure hunters are ready to start."

George was very surprised when he heard that, he didn't expect the organizer to take the initiative to send Zhu Yu an invitation letter!

But it's okay to think about it.After all, although Zhu Yu debuted for a short time, these few things he did had great influence, and it was normal to attract the attention of treasure hunters.

He also walked in with the invitation letter.

There are already many people inside the manor, and the team of treasure hunters in New York is getting bigger and bigger.

Treasure hunters and treasure hunters used to be very mysterious words. In the past two years, thanks to the influence of short videos and the Internet, many treasure hunters have released videos, unveiling the veil of mystery in this industry and making treasure hunting popular.

Many people saw that it turned out to be quite simple, and it can be carried out with a metal detector!
The barrier to entry is very low!

Of course, most of those who entered this line were drowned.After all, there are few treasures, and if they are easy to find, where can they stay?
But the myth of getting rich overnight is spreading more and more, so there are still many people who want to enter this industry.

The area of ​​the manor is very large, and the central building is an old three-story building. According to the current organizer, this building was built during the Civil War. Although it was renovated later, the main body has not changed much.

Zhu Yu didn't quite believe it, but he could tell at a glance with the sky's eye that this building was no more than 100 years old.

"As those who hold the invitation letter, you have the special treatment to start the treasure hunt half an hour in advance. I hope you can gain something." The organizer, a tall white man, said to Zhu Yu and others.

At this time George walked in, the tall white man glanced at him, and laughed:
"Old George, you are too old to walk, and you are several minutes late! I think you should retire and go home. Staying in this industry will make others misunderstand that our treasure hunters are all grandpas!"

George retorted:

"Damn David the bear! Treasure hunters need a smart mind, not just a fat body like yours! The knowledge in my head is beyond yours!"

"Hehe! No matter how much knowledge you have, what's the use? You must still return empty-handed today!"

"You nonsense! I will definitely take away the treasure in this manor today!"

……

The two quarreled for a while, and George lost the battle and shut up resentfully.

David waved his hand as if he had won a big cock:
"Okay, let's act! Except for the main building and small building, you can search in other places. The person who harvests the most today will be awarded the honorary title of Treasure Hunter of Blackstone Manor!
If you don't want to be overtaken by the crowd outside, hurry up, guys in the back, don't wait for me to kick your ass!You are the new blood of New York treasure hunters!George!You can't do it anymore, why don't you just stay here and waste time!Ha ha ha ha! "

Behind them were the voices of David and George taunting each other, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie quickly went to the empty front yard, away from this noisy space.

Those who came in first had a tacit understanding and spread out, and there was no intention of getting together.

This place must have been searched for by others, but everyone knows in their hearts that no one will search every inch of land, so hunting for treasure here is a real "missing".

Zhu Yu just scanned briefly, then walked towards the southeast direction of the small building.

There are some big trees around the farmland here, which are slightly more recognizable. If there is a treasure, it is more likely to be hidden here.

Ran Jie was still quite excited, shaking the metal detector left and right, and said while using it:

"It feels similar to a mine detector."

"Have you ever used a mine detector?" Zhu Yu asked curiously.

"It's never been used," Ran Jie said while searching:

"I only learned mine clearance. I have only seen equipment for this kind of search, but I have never used it."

Then I heard the metal detector beeping.

"There is something!" Ran Jie was overjoyed, and immediately confirmed the position and depth, and then began to dig.

Zhu Yu smiled, he had already scanned it, and there was half a silver coin under it, although it was damaged, it was still a harvest.

It was only twenty or thirty centimeters deep, and Ran Jie quickly dug it out.

Looking at the black silver coins, Ran Jie curled his lips, feeling a little disgusted.

Zhu Yu smiled and took out a sealed bag from his backpack and handed it to him:
"Put it on, maybe later you will get this judgment harvest."

Ran Jie thought about it, so he put away the half silver coin.

Going forward, the two dug up horseshoes, half blades, belt buckles and other things one after another. The most valuable one was a short knife with a sheath.

Although the scabbard has rotted, the blade is still sharp and has no rust, so it is worth collecting.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind him.

The two turned their heads and saw a large group of people rushing in with metal detectors, and then quickly occupied the open space and started detecting.

After a while, there was a non-stop sound of "Didi".

In just 3 minutes, the entire manor was full of people, and an average of dozens of square meters had one person looking down.

Zhu Yu was speechless. This kind of treasure hunting competition is basically like fishing in a small pond, there is no skill at all.

More people are walking quickly to the depths of the manor, hoping to seize the opportunity and find the treasure first.

Ran Jie shook his head and said:
"If this goes on like this, what treasure is there to find? There is no more open space, so why not come here for an outing?"

Zhu Yu didn't agree, he continued to walk slowly while saying:
"How can it be that easy? Since the owner of the manor here can announce the venue, it means that they have searched before and found nothing.

So even if everyone comes, at most it just increases the possibility, but it is more likely that if there is a treasure, the things inside are hidden so deep that ordinary metal detectors can't find it at all! "

Ran Jie's eyes lit up when he heard this, that's the truth!

Zhu Yu continued:

"I was looking for a treasure in a manor before. At that time, many people were looking for it with metal detectors, but in fact, the place where the treasure is really buried has cleverly avoided the target point that everyone is used to.

In the end, I found the place where the treasure happened to be easily overlooked by everyone.In addition, this metal detector also has flaws. It is too deep and the environment is complicated.So, let's not lose heart. "

At this moment, a young man came over with a metal detector, circled around Zhu Yu and the others, saw the things in the sealed bag in Ran Jie's hand, sneered, turned and left.

After a while, the young man came over again, with a brass ring in his hand, flaunting it at Zhu Yu and Ran Jie, and then left a sentence:
"Professional treasure hunters are nothing more than that," he turned and left.

Seeing such childish behavior, Zhu Yu was speechless.

While searching, Ran Jie suddenly asked:
"Boss, is there really a treasure inside?"

Zhu Yu looked around and said:
"Should have. Yesterday, old George told me about the manor when he was participating in this treasure hunting competition. This manor has had several owners.

The original owner was a pirate-converted slave owner who operated here before the American Civil War..."

"Could it be that there are pirate treasures here?" Ran Jie's thoughts diverged and he guessed.

"No," Zhu Yu shook his head, "The first owner died of illness not long after living in this manor. The second owner was an officer during the civil war.

This officer had meritorious service in the civil war and married the daughter of a slave owner. His family property was quite rich, but he was later wiped out by a group of enemies, but it is said that those thieves dressed as enemies did not steal much treasure in the end.

Therefore, some people suspect that there are still treasures buried in this manor.Several subsequent owners of the manor were digging, but in the end there was no result. "

"So if there is a treasure, it must still be there."

After Zhu Yu finished speaking, his eyes fell on the big tree not far away.

There are many small trees around the big tree, and it is at the head of a farmland, forming a small forest.

Then he seemed to remember something, and turned his head to look at the small building that was said to be an old antique building.

Zhu Yu suddenly said to Ran Jie:

"That small building really has some history. Even if it wasn't built before the American Civil War, it should have been rebuilt on the original site."

Ran Jie asked suspiciously:

"How did you know?"

Zhu Yu smiled and said:

"You're about to find out."

As soon as he finished speaking, the naughty young man from before came over again with a metal detector, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things in the sealed bag in his hand.

He looked at the harvest in Zhu Yu and Ran Jie's hands again, and smiled contemptuously again.

Ran Jie is angry!
