Every day is one step closer to reality

Chapter 417 Digging for Diamonds

Feng Yi didn't have the worry that Mark had in his mind, and he showed that he was very reassured about the store.

This calm, calm and stable mood actually made the owner of the diamond shop more respectful.

The shop owner has seen many customers. He was selling diamonds when the mine here was not yet transformed. Until now, he has seen all kinds of customers.

Did Feng Yi buy many diamonds?

In the eyes of ordinary people, it is indeed a lot.

But the store manager, who has dealt with large quantities of diamonds, is still able to deal with it calmly.

If the customer shows special concern, turns over and over again, and repeatedly warns the customer, the store manager may not necessarily take the customer seriously.

However, for customers like Feng Yi, the store manager's attitude has improved a level.

Such customers either really don't take this thing seriously and can afford the loss. Either there is enough strength to suppress all the tricks and tricks, and you are not afraid of tricks.

No matter what kind, the store manager will treat it seriously.

Don’t just focus on immediate interests, take a long-term view! The road has to be widened!

He didn't bring any diamonds, and Feng Yi didn't take the side door, but went out directly from the main entrance. You have to take a detour to take the side entrance, but the main entrance is more convenient.

The store manager personally saw the customer off to the door and watched the mysterious guest walk away before returning to the store. Then he picked up the phone and asked someone to check the identity of the mysterious guest. It would be great if he could find out some information, but it would be okay if he couldn't.

Feng Yi, who had already left the store, continued to wander around under Mark's worried gaze, still thinking about tasting various local snacks.

Those messy food stalls are set up by nearby villagers. With more tourists, the villagers will certainly not miss this opportunity to increase their income.

"They only need to pay a certain fee to the mine, and then they can set up a stall here and the income is okay."

Mark introduced the situation here, and then watched Feng Yi eat all the way in surprise.

You must know that people traveling here from other countries may not be used to eating the food prepared by villagers from various villages. Even Mark himself can't accept it.

But Feng Yi accepted the appearance well.

Needless to say, common food, whether sweet, salty, fragrant or smelly, this employer is not picky at all.

Further forward, at the stall, round and plump insects were squirming in the coconut shell.

This is a delicacy favored by the aborigines. Well, in the eyes of the aborigines, it is a delicacy and can also provide rich protein.

Some of the tourists who stopped here were screaming, taking pictures, and others were eager to try it out.

In comparison, Feng Yi behaved calmly.

Mark asked diligently: "Boss, do you want to challenge them? Ignore their appearance, they taste pretty good!"

Feng Yi agreed: "Yeah, it's okay, like glutinous rice cakes. I've eaten it before."

After playing in the rainforest for so many days and consuming so much energy, of course he was not just a vegetarian.

Sometimes he would also refer to the recipes of animals there.

For example, a certain kind of palm tree is used to make sago, which can be eaten.

Another example is the bugs growing in this tree that you can eat.

There were too many tourists gathered around the stall in front of him, and there were also many people taking photos and videos. Feng Yi did not stop here and continued his eating and shopping trip.

Mark, who followed diligently, became more curious about Feng Yi: What kind of rich man is this employer? Don’t be picky about what you eat.

We didn’t wander around for too long, and we could enter the mine.

There were two tour groups at the front, wearing hats of different colors. The tour guide with the flag led the group in and loudly talked to the tourists about the various steps and precautions for digging and washing diamonds.

Visitors are in high spirits. Although I knew there was a high probability that I would come back empty-handed, I still couldn’t help but give it a try under the bright sun.

Feng Yi heard the group of tourists in front chatting excitedly:

"I checked, and found colored diamonds here before! But the quantity is very small, and now I can't find one for many days. Even if I find it, it is only a very small particle, which cannot be sold at a high price. Just outside the diamond shop, The smallest pieces are on the rough display counter.”

"Speaking of the diamond shop outside, I heard from the tour group next door that someone bought millions of rough diamonds in the shop outside at noon!"

"Go to the finished product store to buy rough stones? Why don't you go to another mining area that sells rough stones? Why are you buying pictures here? Where did you come from? Is this a fool?!"

Feng Yi walking behind them:...

He lowered his sunglasses, pretended not to hear, and continued walking inside.

Feng Yi's influence mainly exists on the Internet. Except for those who pay special attention to Feng Yi, most other people, whether domestic or foreign, mention Feng Yi and can only say that they may know such a person and know that the pictures posted on the Internet are generally of him. What, but in real life, the ability to identify him is much weaker. After all, he is not a top figure in the world.

At this time, Feng Yi was mingling among ordinary tourists and had no sense of presence at all.

The tourist in front of me complained for a while about the big mistake of buying rough diamonds at high prices, and then talked about diamonds.

"The diamond market is so crazy. Now factories can cultivate them in batches. Why are diamond rings so expensive? I heard they are cheap here before I came here. I also wanted to buy a diamond ring for my wife. When I went into the store and took a look, my heart ached!"

"How to play luxury goods, including certificates, design, cutting, etc., all require a premium, and not ordinary people can play it. In the luxury market, people play differently from us. However, rough stones are indeed far less valuable than before. Thinking about it this way, do you feel that your restless heart has calmed down?" said the person next to me.

"No, I feel even more restless! I want to take advantage of the fact that it can still fetch a high price and dig out more to sell. I don't know how many houses I can exchange for!"

The person who said this gradually looked dreamy.

The person next to him slapped him: "Wake up, stop dreaming, there aren't any. Where did you get some? We are just here to experience it. Just make a video and post it on WeChat to show off. Do you really expect to be able to dig it here?" To diamonds?”

Mark, who was following behind, heard this and nodded secretly.

That's right, you just come here to check in and experience it, keep a calm mind, and don't hold on to the illusion that you can really dig out diamonds.

Make a fortune from this? Thinking too much!

Feng Yi was already walking around the mine with tools in hand. He did not dig at first, but stood aside and watched the tour group people at work.

Mark and Cai Bin followed closely, but there was no use for them in the mine.

So, when their employer stopped, the two of them stayed not far away, chatting from time to time.

The two have different attitudes towards diamonds.

Cai Bin is not optimistic about the diamond market, nor does he think it is a big deal. It is all a market game.

But after all, the sponsor was here, and he couldn't express his opinions without scruples, so he sang softly: "Oh~ it's all bubbles, just a moment of fireworks~"

Mark laughed beside him: "Hey, don't say it in such a nonchalant tone, I don't believe you don't want to find diamonds."

Cai Bin immediately said: "Of course I think so! This thing can be exchanged for money. In some countries, some people once called them 'the easiest to carry cash'! But, can it be mined here?"

Mark shrugged and said the same thing: "You'll be lucky."

Over there, Feng Yi seemed to be watching other people dig diamonds, but in fact, he was sensing it inside the field.

Because they are so old, diamonds related to ancestors may be extremely rare here. It is not certain whether there are any stones left in this mine.

Even if there are, there are only a few diamond fragments, and their surface material is even thinner, making it difficult to detect unless they are close.

Therefore, if he wanted to look for diamond fragments that might exist here and were related to his ancestors, Feng Yi had to scan them place by place like a scanner.

Pretend to dig for a while, then change places and look again.

His behavior is similar to that of tourists in a tour group.

When they arrived at another place, Feng Yi was dressed up, and he heard people from the tour group talking not far away. There was a bit of resentment in the words, maybe because he had been in the sun for so long, had no harvest, was tired, and was a little moody. .

"Diamonds should only be used in industry! Didn't they say it in the news? The price of diamonds has plummeted to such an extent!"

Another person: "Brother, doesn't your girlfriend want to buy a diamond ring? Just tell her that the price of diamonds will drop when you buy them! To put it bluntly, isn't it just carbon that has been compressed under high temperature and pressure for a long time? It can be artificially synthesized in batches. The less valuable it is! Buy gold, gold is the scarce substance in the universe, it is truly long-lasting and will be passed down forever, and it is also a financial product!”

"Yes, diamonds are all bought by that company!"

"They are all consumption traps! IQ tax!"

"Gold is worth much more than diamonds! That's all diamonds say..."

The uncle in the tour group listened to them and couldn't help turning around:

"You two are almost done! Don't talk about gold and diamonds. How do you know that gold can't be synthesized in the future? I heard that gold can be synthesized in laboratories now, but the radiation is high and the cost is high. But in a few decades, who can say? How accurate? A hundred years ago, no one would have thought that diamonds could be artificially synthesized in large quantities!

"What's the point of buying something based solely on the material value? In this day and age, everything is hyped!

"The shabby figures that you two bought for several thousand yuan are worth nothing in my eyes! In ten or twenty years, the materials will deteriorate and they will become a pile of garbage!!!"

"Broken figure", "worth a shit", "a pile of rubbish"...

The two young men were immediately furious.

"How can you say that!"

"Do you know what it means to be lucky? Do you know what life and love are?"

"That's my emotional vehicle!"

"You are trampling on my spirit and soul!"

Faced with the anger of the two young people, the uncle rolled his eyes: "Prodigal stuff!"

The two young men's faces turned red and they wanted to continue arguing, but the sun made them dizzy. Looking around, his eyes fell on Feng Yi. One of them asked:

"Hey, brother, which country are you from? Can you understand me?"

Feng Yi nodded.

The man hurriedly asked: "Brother, do you play with figurines? Just figurines and models?"

Feng Yi thought of the ones in his collection and nodded: "Play."

The man nodded and said, "That's right. Isn't this normal? Why is this uncle still insulting people!"

Feng Yi said: "As long as you like it, the world is changing so fast, and you can't say what the collection value is."

After saying that, he quickly took his tools and ran to the next location, not to interfere with their discussion.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Feng Yi speeds up.

As Mark said, there are a lot of clutter here, and there are indeed many things that confuse the sight. Tourists kept shouting excitedly, and then sighed in disappointment.

The land here has been plowed back and forth N times. It is indeed unlikely that what Feng Yi is looking for exists here.

His eyes swept across the mine and then landed on the washing area.

There are a lot of people there, and most of the miners in the mining area are busy there.

Yes, the mine has been transformed, but the miners are still doing their original work, but the clients they serve have changed.

Tourists are concerned about the clothes and shoes they are wearing and do not want to stand in the water to search for diamonds, so they pay miners to do the work for them and let the miners help wash the mud and sand they dig.

Tourists stood nearby, took videos, and chatted with the miners looking for diamonds from time to time.

The process of panning for diamonds is actually very simple. Use a sieve to filter out the sediment in the water, and then look for diamonds among the remaining stones and other particles.

There is also a bucket-shaped pot-like tool that miners skillfully toss around in the water, constantly splashing water, and sifting out impurities. Denser stones will remain at the bottom. If there are diamonds, those miners will find them. .

Some miners were very passionate about their work. I don’t know whether it was because the tourists paid them too much or because they were deliberately showing off their skills.

The atmosphere in the washing area is much more lively than that of digging on land.

Some tourists did find diamonds, but they were very small, like grains of rice. Even if they were sold, they would not be worth the price.

But tourists who find diamonds are particularly excited. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat!

Even if it is only as big as a grain of rice, this is what he gains here!

That one even shouted very excitedly: "Never Air Force!"

Then it attracted the dissatisfied looks of several fishing players.

Damn it, labor and capital are still vacant!

And make a decision in mind, if you really can't find diamonds, just pick a few stones and go back!

The panning area was abuzz.

Feng Yi walked around and found nothing, but he did not intend to leave. Instead, he dug some soil nearby, went to the designated location to rent a screen for washing diamonds, then took off his shoes and rolled them up. trouser legs, holding the screen into the water, pretending to look for diamonds.

Shop in one place for a while, then change places and continue shopping.

On the surface, he was searching for diamonds, but in fact, Feng Yi focused most of his attention on the bottom of the water, sensing the substances in the water.

After searching through several sieves, my clothes were covered in mud stains.

Changing the place again, Feng Yi paused slightly when he got into the water.

Huh?

It seems that a little "signal" has been scanned, and there is a weak induction!

Feng Yi walked that way.

The closer you are to the source of the "signal", the stronger the perception.

The strength of this "signal" will not be a small particle.

Arriving above the "signal" source, Feng Yi used his feet to dig at the sand on the bottom of the water.

The covering layer is relatively thick and cannot be dug out for a while.

So Feng Yi used his feet to dig a few times, then pretended to use a sieve to sift the water.

Efficiency is a bit slow, but not noticeable.

About five minutes later, Feng Yi stumbled slightly, as if he was tripped by something in the water. His puzzled expression was on point, and then he leaned down and grabbed an object from the water, which almost pressed down on his entire palm.

There was a lot of mud and water on it, so the real thing couldn't be seen clearly.

"found it."
