Jumping out of the car and looking at the familiar gravel, Li Du stomped his feet and roared, "Hah! Fire opal, I'm back! "
Godzilla waved his fist and then patted his chest with force. He then roared, "Hah! Hah! Hah! "
Ah Ow stretched her neck toward the sky. "Awoo! Awoo! "
Ah Meow also shouted, "Meow, meow!"
Raccoons were not good at roaring. Crispy Noodles looked at his companions in shock and then at Brother Wolf, who was also looking at him in shock.
After roaring, Brother Wolf was silent for a while, then walked toward Godzilla and asked in a low voice, "Buddy, why did you roar?"
He wanted to be part of the team. He was now on probation and hoped to become a permanent member as soon as possible to earn a million-dollar annual salary.
Godzilla said innocently, "I don't know."
Brother Wolf was speechless.
After staying in the national park a few times, Li Du found that he liked this kind of environment. The natural wilderness, the starry sky, and the Petrified Forest here were much more comfortable than the steel jungle in the city.
Of course, the harvest here was also better. After all, this was where he could make money faster.
Li Du waved his hand and Godzilla brought Brother Wolf to divide the land. He carried the rope and instructed Brother Wolf to cooperate with him.
Ivana, who was wearing a veil, followed behind her father like a little tail and followed him to work.
Li Du waved at her and said, "Hey, little girl, the terrain here is very messy. Be careful not to fall. You don't have to work, just stay here."
The little girl looked back at him as if she had seen a big bad wolf and walked faster.
Li Du whistled and Ah Meow, Ah Ow, and Crispy Noodles ran toward him and jumped on him to play.
This scene attracted Ivana. The three furry little ones had a fatal attraction to children.
When Godzilla and Brother Wolf marked an area, Li Du released the little bug and waved his hand. "Time to work, kids!"
The Petrified Forest National Park was located on an opal gemstone belt. For millions of years, there had been continuous crustal movements, causing the gemstones to overturn the surface.
These days, Li Du had been learning about the fire opal situation. Some areas in Mexico had richer gemstone deposits, but the locals and Native Americans had been mining, and the surface gemstones had been excavated.
Now in Mexico, to find fire opals, one had to dig mines and search for mineral veins underground. It was impossible to find gems on the surface like in the national park.
In fact, if not for the United States government and the Arizona state government's insistence on prohibiting the use of machinery to mine the mineral veins in the national park, the fire opals in the park would have been dug out long ago.
For decades, the National Park had been producing fire opals. From time to time, a premium fire opal would appear, so it was considered a steady stream.
However, after encountering Li Du, the fire opals here could no longer continue to flow. Using the little bug, Li Du could search for all the gemstones here and take away those that could be excavated by manpower.
It was not hard to imagine that, after Li Du had scavenged the area, the gem hunter industry would disappear. Because in the future, people would come here less and less if they did not find anything.
It was not Li Du's fault for being greedy. The Americans had plundered resources from all over the world without caring about the feelings of the people of the origin. They had even started wars.
Li Du was just taking away some gems, not stealing or robbing. Compared to the Americans who were waging wars all over the world and interfering in the internal affairs of other countries, he was considered a gentleman.
This time around, the little bug's ability had become even stronger. After the two enhancements at the kidnapping and the old goods market, the little bug's vision had become further and its flying speed had also become faster.
When they arrived at the National Park in the afternoon, Li Du immediately started to work. After an hour, the little bug had already searched nearly a quarter of the area, which was much more efficient than before.
Li Du worked quickly, feeling extremely satisfied.
In just an hour, he had found 24 pieces of fire opals that could be dug out. Of course, these were not all premium opals. Some of them were cloudy opals.
Only premium fire opals were valuable. The previous two times, Li Du had only searched for premium opals. If the color was not good or the size was too small, he would just give up and not waste the effort to search for them.
Now that the little bug's vision had become better and its vision had become sharper, it could find more fire opals. This way, even if they were cloudy opals, he was willing to dig them out.
A piece of premium opal was worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. While a cloudy opal was not as valuable, it could still be sold for a few thousand dollars.
After working for an hour, he marked the locations of the gemstones and came back to rest.
Godzilla asked, "Boss, what do you want to eat?"
Li Du said, "Give me some fruit and a bottle of soda."
Godzilla scratched his unkempt hair and said, "What are we eating tonight? I'll prepare, you cook. "
Li Du was depressed that he had forgotten about this problem. He should have brought Big Quinn along. Big Quinn's cooking skills were not bad.
He asked Brother Wolf, "Do you know how to cook?"
Brother Wolf raised his head and said calmly, "Yes."
Li Du asked, "What are you good at? Do you cook well?"
Brother Wolf continued to raise his head and said calmly, "I'm good at many things. It's not delicious, but it's edible."
Li Du felt helpless. He frowned and said, "Can you speak normally? Why are you raising your head? "
He hated it when people pretended to be cool in front of him. Brother Wolf was now putting on a pretentious act.
After hearing his words, Brother Wolf lowered his head and looked at him. "Someone is monitoring us from the air."
Li Du raised his head in surprise and asked, "What is it?"
Sure enough, there was a small black shadow in the air. He had noticed it before and thought it was a bird. The national park was the habitat of many wild birds.
Brother Wolf said, "It's a drone with a long-range surveillance camera. It can detect us from a height of 100 meters. Our movements are being monitored."
Li Du's heart tightened. "What? Are you sure? Can you see it clearly? "
Brother Wolf said, "I can see it clearly. I can deduce the rest."
Li Du was puzzled. "Who is monitoring us? The military? FBI？ The local police station? "
Brother Wolf said, "This is a civilian drone. It costs 1,000 dollars on the Amazon."
It was good to have a reliable bodyguard. Li Du had not realized that he was being monitored. Godzilla had not noticed it either.
Looking at the drone flying above his head, Li Du felt annoyed. It was not a good feeling to be monitored. Moreover, he did not know when he was being monitored and how many of his secrets had been discovered.
He thought of Owen's previous conversation about 'treasure hunting pets.' Indeed, he had created the illusion that Crispy Noodles could find fire opals. However, that was to fool Godzilla, Sophie, and the others. It had not been shown to the public.
Previously, he had been wondering who had spread the news. Now, the answer had appeared.
