Liu Di stole a glance at Friedrich, who was lying stiffly beside him.
Then he turned back without a trace.
If he wanted this guy to become diligent, he would probably need some stimulation.
He then looked at the vast mountains before him.
But how was he supposed to do that?
Was he really going to accompany him in panning for gold without end?
Magic Child said, "Based on the time when we acquired abilities last time, along with the distance we traveled through the River of Time, a preliminary estimate suggests that at least one of your abilities will arrive in twelve hours."
"Oh?"
Liu Di perked up at once. With an ability, things would be much easier.
I can turn these mountains upside down!
I can also use my abilities to subdue a bunch of underlings.
Or perhaps, if I regain the abilities of the Golden Ancient Kingdom...
Heh.
Then I'll soar straight to the top.
For some reason, Leip's pouting face surfaced in Liu Di's mind.
Uh.
He shuddered at once.
Little Leip, wait another twelve hours for your granduncle!
With a contingency plan in place, Liu Di relaxed slightly.
He set the iron basin in his hand aside and, rather interestedly, began rummaging through the mud and sand before him.
Though the weather was scorching, the river water was pleasantly cool, making him feel quite comfortable.
Suddenly.
His hand found a small stone in the mud that was painfully hard against his fingers.
He lifted it out of the water and held it before his eyes. It instantly gleamed with dazzling golden light.
Liu Di's eyes widened slightly.
Gold?
He found some already?
Liu Di suddenly grew excited. So this was what it felt like to pick up gold off the ground?!
"Heh."
Liu Di laughed
