Alaska Gold Rush Diary

The two allowed themselves plenty of time, so when they arrived at Fairbanks Airport, there was still more than an hour before their flight took off.

After completing the formalities for their luggage and pet transport, the two found a breakfast restaurant and ordered breakfast.

"I still prefer Fairbanks. There are no restaurants open in Salcha at this time of day. I really don't understand why Bemon insists on staying in Salcha."

Edward took a sip of hot coffee, closed his eyes, and looked completely satisfied.

"Salcha has its advantages, at least it's much quieter than here," Zhou Xin said, glancing at the place where the argument was taking place not far away.

"Do you know how much this dress cost? A full two thousand US dollars!"

A male customer pointed at his suit, which was soaked with coffee, and started swearing.

The waitress opposite him kept her head down and apologized repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to. Please take it off, and I'll take it to be cleaned for you right away."

The waitress repeatedly bowed and apologized.

Zhou Xin was slightly taken aback. He vaguely felt that the waitress's voice was somewhat familiar, but she had her back to him and he couldn't see her face.

"Clean it? I just bought it yesterday, how are you going to clean it?" The male customer's voice was loud, and many people looked over there.

"Then... what do you suggest we do?" the waitress asked cautiously.

"Hmph! Of course, it's compensation. I still have the receipt. You pay me the original price, and I'll give you this dirty shirt!"

The waitress continued to bow and apologize, saying, "Sir, please forgive me. I will definitely clean your clothes until they look brand new."

The male customer persisted, demanding compensation from the waitress, and called the restaurant manager.

The restaurant manager, naturally unwilling to offend the customer, said to the waitress, "In that case, we can only ask you to compensate this gentleman for his losses."

The waitress shook her head repeatedly, her voice already trembling with tears: "But manager, I simply don't have that much money to compensate him!"

"That's going to be difficult. As you know, the restaurant won't lend you money, not even by deducting it from your next paycheck, because the boss won't allow it," the restaurant manager said helplessly.

"Then... what should we do?" The waitress was already panicked, looking helplessly at the exasperated male customer.

"That's your problem. I just need to see two thousand dollars. If that's not enough, you can borrow from a friend!" The male customer had no intention of letting her off the hook.

"I can't borrow any money; nobody will lend me any!"

The waitress could no longer hold back and began to sob softly.

Zhou Xin watched everything unfold from afar and couldn't help but sigh.

When the waitress turned to talk to the manager, he had already seen her profile clearly. It turned out to be his ex-girlfriend, Casey, who had abandoned him for Slant and then been abandoned by Slant.

The two met while camping outdoors and then got together.

Because they share common interests, the two have always had a good relationship.

Until Slant took a liking to the somewhat attractive Casey and launched a lavish spending spree to woo her, she quickly fell into his arms.

Zhou Xin was heartbroken for a while, and it took her a long time to recover.

At this moment, seeing his former lover being harassed, he had no intention of standing up for her.

He believed he owed her nothing, and that their relationship was already over; to him, she was nothing more than a stranger.

Moreover, two thousand dollars is enough to buy a used GPX6000 metal detector.

Although Zhou Xin himself did not need a detector, Edward did.

Even if Edward finds the buried gold spot by using his "golden scent," he still needs the help of a detector to dig out gold that might only be the size of a mung bean.

"Do you know anyone over there?" Although Edward seemed unreliable on the surface, he was actually very smart and immediately noticed something unusual in Zhou Xin's expression.

"I know them, but we're not close anymore."

He swallowed the last piece of bread with his coffee, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's wait inside."

Edward looked at him and said with a hint of amusement, "I can tell that you actually want to help her."

"If you say another word, I won't take you with me." Zhou Xin walked out of the restaurant without looking back.

Edward chuckled and quickly followed.

……

American airlines truly lived up to their reputation; the two arrived in Miami before noon.

The warm climate, sunny beaches, and palm trees gave the two the illusion of being in another world.

Seeing the scantily clad beauties on the street, Edward shouted, "Fuck Alaska, I love Miami!"

Zhou Xin handed all the luggage to Edward, then instructed Logan to follow Edward before taking him to the hotel.

He decided not to delay and went to find Zhang Jianing that afternoon.

Although he also loves the sunny beaches and the passionate, sexy women there, he understands that now is not the time to enjoy it.

To motivate himself, he even gave himself a mental suggestion: his "Golden Smell" ability could disappear at any moment.

This is not impossible, because he has no idea where his abilities come from.

It is perfectly reasonable for them to appear suddenly and then disappear just as suddenly.

Although he vaguely knew that this possibility was not high, because even after his nose was cut off, the former "Gold King" McDonald's ability did not disappear.

It wasn't until his nasal cavity was burned that he finally lost this ability.

"I need to act quickly; I can't waste a single moment making money!"

Now, all he wants is to become a ruthless gold-digging machine.

He ordered a meal at Burger King, quickly filled his stomach, and then took a taxi to Zhang Jianing's company.

In the United States, there is no lunch break, so he dialed the phone number he hadn't made in three years at one o'clock.

"Zhou Xin?"

Zhang Jianing's questioning voice came from the other end of the phone. She probably still had Zhou Xin's phone number, but wasn't sure if he was still the owner of the phone.

"That's right, do you remember me?"

Facing his former love, Zhou Xin found himself calmer than he had imagined.

"Oh, of course I remember. You were one of the few Chinese friends I had in the United States. It's a pity you went to Alaska later."

Hearing Zhang Jianing refer to herself as a friend, Zhou Xin felt a surge of emotion, but quickly regained her composure.

"It's a good thing you didn't change your number, otherwise it would have been much more difficult to find you."

"Are you still in Alaska? I've been wanting to go there for a while, but I haven't had the chance yet."

"I'm still in Alaska, but I'm downstairs at your place. Come out for a second, I need to talk to you about something."

"what?"

On the other end of the phone, Zhang Jianing first sounded surprised, then fell silent.
