Finn Carter and his classmate Jared Miller co-founded a mineral company. Relying on his technical expertise, Finn located a gold mine worth tens of millions, but was betrayed by Jared and forced out of the company with only 1000 yuan. When his mother was seriously ill and he faced cold stares from relatives and friends, he awakened the Gold Prospecting System. From finding silver lodes on the Back Hill to discovering jade, Tungsten Deposit and gold mines, he staged a continuous comeback, founded Carter Mining Group, defeated powerful enemies including Jared Miller, Felix Shen and Hank Han, and assisted the police in cracking a smuggling network of leftover wartime supplies, completing his rise from a down-and-out miner to a mining tycoon.
