"Chapter 3: Striking Gold — Gao Ju's Bewilderment "May the almighty God of Traversal bless us. May the Timespace Management Bureau approve our operation. Amen." Wen Desi murmured his improvised prayer, shouldered his assault pack, and stepped through the wormhole first. Xiao Zishan and Wang Luobin followed close behind. As an avid outdoor enthusiast, Wen Desi owned a complete array of camping and hiking gear—more than enough for any expedition. Yet for this journey, he had chosen sparingly: quick"
"Chapter 4: Striking Gold — The Australian Sea Merchants "Damn, that was like riding a roller coaster." Xiao Zishan's voice came out in a shaky whisper.
