Chapter 549
Translator: Timothy Editor: GlobeGlotter
This place was so cold! Ye Mo was at the middle-eastern part of Siberia . This was near the Arctic Ocean . Ye Mo looked at the big Amber Crater that looked like a dried up riverbed . The frozen earth was extra hard .
Construction workers were busying about as they seemed to be building some living houses or facilities . Ye Mo estimated that they were about to start digging this place .
Ye Mo used an Earth Travel Charm to go down but felt the charm get exhausted very quickly . The hardness of the earth here had far exceeded his expectations . And his spirit sense could only reach out a little more than 10 meters .
It would seem that diamonds weren't that easy to get, after all . 300 meters underground, Ye Mo already felt it was getting too hard . Even with Earth Travel Charms, he couldn't continue going down .
But before he had gone there, he had looked carefully at where and how diamonds were formed . He knew that there were some usually a few hundred meters within the digging site, but that was only a small amount . Diamonds were usually thousands or even tens of thousands of meters underground . Unless he cultivated to the golden core stage, he wouldn't be able to go down that deep .
Ye Mo searched for an entire day at a few hundred meters deep and used up more than half of his charms only to find 7 kg of diamond . Ye Mo was disappointed . After wasting another 100 charms, he left the diamond pit . This way wasn't working .
He had wasted that many charms only to find 7 kg of diamonds . The amount he invested wasn't equal to his return at all .
Perhaps this amount of diamond would be a huge fortune for others but to him, it was too little . The only thing he could feel happy about was that he had found one piece that was half a kilogram heavy .
Ye Mo found a quiet place and rested for a day . Using his spirit sense in such dense earth had made him feel very fatigued . Ye Mo recovered only after a whole day of resting .
Although there were supposedly large amounts of diamonds there, he had found very little the first day . He would find even less on the second day . Moreover, he used up a lot of charms which he had taken a whole month to make . He couldn't continue like this .
He had access to neither spirit beast blood, nor proper charm making materials . With his power, he could at most make low level charms . He could barely make level 2 charms if he got lucky, but there was still no use in that .
As Ye Mo stood in the cold Siberian air, he felt that the road he had chosen wasn't that easy .
If America didn't exist, creating Luo Yue would be so much easier .
'America?' Ye Mo suddenly laughed, 'Shouldn't they also have large amounts of gold deposits? Why don't I go take all I need from them . That'll be better than doing labor in this place . '
Thinking like that, Ye Mo really felt like laughing . He wondered how the US would react after finding out that their gold deposits had disappeared .
Since he couldn't find diamonds, he would go steal gold . After the gold was all taken, he would go take USD from the US banks . 'Since you guys want to wait for me to build Luo Yue for you and I'm short on money, it should be fine to go borrow some from you!'
. . .
Ye Mo soon found out from Xu Yuehua that the US had their gold stored in two locations she knew of . One place was 24 meters under solid bedrock in southern Manhattan . There was around 8 . 300 tons of gold stored there with a market worth of about 165 billion USD .
But from what Xu Yuehua said afterwards, this wasn't even where the US stored the bulk of their gold . It was at most 5% of their gold, while most of the gold there belonged to international banks and some other countries .
The US mainly stored their gold 50 km to the southwest of Kentucky, Louisiana . There was a US army base there, and this place was said to be the safest place in America . There was not only large amounts of gold deposited there, but also large amounts of confidential files and national treasures .
This base-fort was made of granite, steel rods and cement and took up an area of about 1 . 180 square meters . The gold vault door weighed about 20 or so tons . And the passwords to the door were kept by many different staff . One could only enter when all the passwords were entered at the same time . The walls outside were also reinforced with steel boards . The roof had of course received special reinforcement as well . There were patrol stations around the gold vault and stops on the road, with guards blocking anyone from coming too close .
There were also 23 . 000 troops and 300 tanks stationed nearby the area . The place had its own emergency power supply, water system and other facilities . It was protected very well and naturally any touristic visits were out of question .
"Isn't that very precise!" Ye Mo was very satisfied with Xu Yuehua's intelligence .
Ye Mo was sure that no matter how safe this base was, it couldn't be safer than the Black Sun Empire's gold vault . To Ye Mo, it would be much easier to break into the Manhattan gold vault than into the one in Kentucky, but he still decided to go to Kentucky .
There was not only gold there but also things important to the US there . This attracted Ye Mo . Furthermore, the gold in there truly belonged to the US .
. . . . .
Ye Mo was very careful when he approached the fort, since the US's radar and surveillance systems were very advanced . To him, the hard part was getting in and not bringing out the gold .
With his previous experience, Ye Mo turned invisible as soon as he arrived above American waters . As he started reaching the fort, he had still not been found .
Ye Mo stood in the distance . The fort looked like a square governmental building . It didn't seem all that peculiar . It was about 12 meters tall and 30 meters long and wide . But he could see the armored vehicles and soldiers' training base not far away .
Ye Mo didn't try to enter from the main door . He didn't feel like putting his invisibility to the test . Ever since finding out that his invisibilty under special lenses still revealed a faint shadow, he had become very careful .
He got off the highway and went next to the fort and then with the help of the Earth Travel Charm, he went into the earth as fast as possible .
