Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 1336 - 1180: Packed Up and Taken Away (2)

In short, everything is considered with safety in mind.

After stopping the motorcycle, he waved his hand and stored it into the System Space.

Afterward, he began to stride forward, moving straight towards the lake. As he walked, Lin Yi noticed the sand under his feet was getting darker.

He arrived at the actual lakeside, looking at the black crude oil before him, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel somewhat excited.

And truly, this was the first time in two lifetimes that Lin Yi saw real crude oil.

Before, he had only seen oil extraction machines on television, but had never seen actual crude oil like this. However, he dared not compare this substance to gasoline from future generations; he couldn’t relate the two, as gasoline was something he had seen, and it was vastly different from this black crude oil.

"There is really a lot here, but I wonder how deep this crude oil goes. Could it just be a surface layer?"

It’s no wonder Lin Yi was puzzled; after all, this wasn’t a real river or lake. If it were a true river, at least he could see the bottom.

That would allow him to estimate the water depth. But now, it’s different; here, everything is covered in pitch-black crude oil, wanting to see how deep it is beneath is simply a fool’s dream.

As for points of reference, they didn’t exist here at all.

The trees here were scarce, let alone the possibility of any trees existing amidst the crude oil, even if they did, they would have been devoured long ago.

But this naturally didn’t trouble Lin Yi. He picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it towards the center of the lake; immediately, he heard a splash. The stone fell into the black crude oil, but not even a hint of a ripple appeared, and it disappeared instantly with no further movement.

Clearly, this method didn’t work. The stone entering the crude oil wouldn’t react as it would in water; the crude oil’s density was simply too great.

So although this primitive method failed to estimate the depth here,

we must not forget, Lin Yi had a system. He casually extracted a long bamboo pole from the System Space, and with a thought, the bamboo pole went straight into the center of the lake, vertically.

This was not mere thought control over the bamboo pole; Lin Yi could make it appear anywhere he wished.

Just like that, Lin Yi chose to have the bamboo pole appear at the lake’s center, entering the forest among Lin Yi.

As for the pole’s length? Approximately three meters long, as he shifted his thoughts, the bamboo pole appeared over the crude oil, and then the whole bamboo pole submerged into the oil, disappearing completely.

Witnessing this, Lin Yi was quite excited; at least he could determine the oil’s depth was no less than three meters.

In this way, the huge oil field was bound to have a significant oil reserve.

No sooner said than done, he waved his hand, and immediately, the crude oil began to surge into his System Space continuously; in just a moment, nearly a hundred tons of crude oil had been collected.

And this wasn’t the end, virtually every five seconds, that much could be collected.

And Lin Yi’s intent did not falter; the crude oil kept pouring into his space, and soon, a large black oil ball formed within the space.

Within five minutes, the oil ball was as large as the water ball in the space.

Yes, the water ball was the one Lin Yi extracted from the reservoir earlier, and its water content was enormous, without exaggeration, it could supply everyone here with drink.

Now the oil ball matched the water ball’s size.

Additionally, the System Space was massive, allowing both balls to remain separate, never encountering or colliding with each other.

What’s more astonishing to Lin Yi was that the black and white balls existed separately in his System Space.

Each rotated on its own without a trace of oil mingling into the water ball.

Observing the increasing crude oil in his System Space, Lin Yi didn’t stop his manipulations, eager to see how much crude oil he could transport away, and just how large the System Space truly was.

Half an hour later, the oil ball had grown immensely, yet his rate of absorption remained unchanged.

Meanwhile, the lake’s oil level visibly dropped a lot.

In about half an hour, it had dropped more than a meter.

Some might ask why only so little dropped in so long,

but don’t forget, this place was very vast.

Especially the lake’s area was extremely extensive, making such a significant drop in only half an hour an extraordinary miracle.

Roughly estimated, Lin Yi’s oil income was at least tens of thousands of tons.

Moreover, despite collecting so much oil, there was still ample space in the System.

Even less than 1/10 had been utilized at the very least. All this while, Lin Yi hadn’t felt much change in the System Space’s contents, nor had the unclear boundaries been reached.

But since it was his first time loading so much, Lin Yi didn’t dare force more in; fearing overwhelming the System Space might lead to an unforeseen incident. That would be a real loss, causing Lin Yi to stop further absorption after collecting so much oil, and to assess the System’s status.

After checking, no anomalies were found, allowing Lin Yi to breathe a long sigh of relief, and also inquire the system if such an amount might impact the System Space.

The system responded with, "Unknown!"

This further diminished Lin Yi’s intention to continue, as the abundant oil already collected was enough for a single trip.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi focused his thoughts and spoke to the system:

"System, transport me back to modern society."

As Lin Yi’s words fell, the system promptly responded, and within moments, Lin Yi mysteriously vanished from the spot.

Meanwhile, on the hill, a figure had just run out, witnessing Li Yi’s disappearance. This sight struck him with intense fear.

He immediately knelt, frantically bowing towards Lin Yi’s vanished position.

This person was none other than the leader who had just gone back to inform the other villagers.

Originally, he deeply believed Lin Yi was a divine messenger sent from heaven, and that belief got confirmed even more now.

Hadn’t this person just disappeared before his eyes?

How could such a feat be achieved by ordinary folk?
