Live Streaming: Great Adventure in the Wilderness-Chapter 906 - 902

Within the dark recesses of the mining tunnel, where no ceiling could be seen, a Cheetah's claw clung to the edge of a rock platform. As it lowered its head to peer beneath it, a long shadow fell from its body.

Explorers in the mine pit held torches high, driving away the surrounding darkness. At the edge of the light circle, where light and dark intermingled, two decayed skeletons, withered to white bones, were revealed.

In front of the skeletons laid a leather pouch with its drawstring snapped, and a dozen broken diamonds slipped from the opening, sparkling with an exceptionally dazzling light under the illumination.

Perhaps the glare was too blinding as it caused people in the dark to squint.

At that moment, who knows how many viewers in front of their screens were rubbing their eyes, trying to discern if the scene before them was real or fake, actual or illusory.

Bi Fang stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and pinched the snapped drawstring to lift the entire pouch.

He noticed that although the pouch was only as big as a palm, it was not light in weight, clearly containing quite a few other things inside.

And it was precisely this move that caused several broken diamonds to fall from the mouth of the pouch into the dust. Even though they were covered by a thick layer of dust, the rays of light they scattered could still not be concealed.

Such a scene inevitably made even the worldly Bi Fang draw in a sharp breath.

Could the bag be full of diamonds?

It was not until this moment that the audience completely believed that the scene before them was actually happening on a corner of Earth!

[Oh my god, we're going to be rich!]

[Is there a big one? Tell me if there is.]

[It must be staged!]

[Coach, I'm reporting this, somebody is cheating!]

[Is it open just because it isn't closed?]

[Is it open just because it isn't opened?]

[Announce the location, quick! I want to pick diamonds too!]

[Were all these dug out from the mine?]

Bi Fang shook his head, "It's impossible that they were dug out like this. Natural diamonds don't take this shape."

Naturally mined diamonds could not be this dazzling. Even those with high purity, if they have the same shape as ordinary stones, their degree of refraction is limited.

This was also why diamond shapes are generally one of a few fixed types, with the number of facets and the angles being the same—to better reflect light and make the diamond glitter and gleam under a light source.

The diamonds that fell to the ground were almost all round, already cut and polished, certainly not something that could have come directly from the mine.

Diamonds can't naturally be shaped like this.

Bi Fang poured all the contents of the pouch into his palm, and as he observed them clearly, the viewers in front of the screens gasped once more.

The pouch actually dumped out a quantity of diamonds that couldn't be held in one hand, and they were remarkably large in size, with the largest diameters almost all exceeding five millimeters.

Even more astonishing was the uncut pink diamond among them.

This pink diamond was as large as Bi Fang's index finger!

[Pink diamond!!!!]

[That big?]

[That staging is kind of ridiculous.]

[Ridiculous your mom, can you stage one yourself?]

[Simple rudeness, extreme pleasure.]

[I'm about to explode, my scalp is tingling, is this really something that can be found while exploring?]

[Explosive!]

The news of the pink diamond drew in a vast crowd of onlookers, with the backstage messages coming in like a barrage.

Upon seeing the pink diamond, Bi Fang couldn't help but feel his brows twitch. He felt his veins swell suddenly, as blood surged wildly with every beat of his heart.

Carat is a unit of weight for diamonds, one carat being equivalent to 0.2 grams. This pink diamond, the size of an index finger, could conservatively be estimated at upwards of 25 carats...

Pink diamonds are extremely rare, and world-class pink diamonds are even rarer.

Though Bi Fang was not focused on gemology, his wide-ranging knowledge allowed him to remember that a diamond between 5 and 6 carats once sold for over a million Ugly Yuan at a Christie's auction, while those over 10 carats never went for less than twenty million Ugly Yuan.

However, all auctioned pieces were cut, and diamond cutting consumes a substantial amount of material. For example, the famous Steinmetz Pink diamond had an original weight of 132.5 carats but was left with only 59.6 carats after cutting, more than half lost.

The diamond he had now wasn't perfectly shaped; after cutting, it might yield fifteen or sixteen carats, but it was still quite astonishing.

Of course, the value of a diamond doesn't solely depend on size but also on color and clarity. Regarding this, Bi Fang was somewhat clueless. He didn't know what grade this particular diamond was, but its transparency told him it wasn't low.

The whole pink diamond had to be worth at least ten million Ugly Yuan.

Perhaps all the other diamonds in the bag added together might not even equal the value of the one in his hand.

Was his luck really this good?

The torch was still burning, making a soft crackling sound.

Bi Fang lifted his head to look at the light source glowing in the darkness and saw the Cheetah lying nearby. Then he lowered his head again, gazing at the two skeletons beside him, the most crucial being the bag of diamonds in his hand.

A fifty-meter-high platform, a diamond mine, a bag of high-quality diamonds, two skeletons dead for many years.

Fuck, he could brainstorm a half-hour drama from this alone!

"Please write a short story of at least eight hundred words within forty minutes, themed around two corpses, a bag of diamonds, and a mine pit."

"Blind guess, they're mutually assured destruction."

The news about Bi Fang finding pink diamonds quickly sparked heated discussion on Wolf Fang's platform. It nearly instantaneously drained all the traffic and spread beyond the circles, rippling outward.

It was estimated that it wouldn't take half an hour for this to top the trending headlines of various portals.

"For real? I heard the streamer found diamonds?"

"True indeed."

"Are you sure about the authenticity of that pink diamond?"

"Lord Mu has sent the streamer 10 yachts—witnesses share."

"Lin Chang has sent the streamer 10 spaceships—witnesses share."

"666, add another share for witnesses."

"I heard that the first pink diamond in South Africa was accidentally found by a kid."

"The Eureka diamond was discovered in 1866 by a fifteen-year-old named Daniel who thought it was a pretty stone until it caught his neighbor's attention. They thought it was a diamond and offered to buy it, but Daniel's family refused."

"Subsequently, the stone was taken to Cape Town by John Robert for certification, and it was finally verified as a diamond. It was named 'Eureka,' meaning 'I have found it.'"

Bi Fang's live broadcast room was always filled with people from various fields of expertise.

As soon as a question arose, someone would provide a highly professional answer.

Sometimes even Bi Fang himself felt like he was gaining knowledge, and his memory, like Nature, would function automatically, recording every bit of information without fail.

"Damn, why can't I ever find this, really sucks to be me."

"I'm grinding my teeth into dust."

"Luckier than stepping in dog shit."

Compared to the previous few passageways, the densely packed, hive-like collection of huge pits were truly where the diamonds had been mined.

But now, with a bag of high-quality diamonds in hand, there was no need to explore the numerous surrounding tunnels. This was the most valuable thing, incomparable to the miscellaneous stones.

Bi Fang poured the diamond back into the leather bag, collected all the scattered fragments from the ground into his hand, blew off the dust, and poured them into the bag as well.

Then, he took out a thin rope, tied the bag's opening, and kept it close to his side.

Though the elastic band had broken, the quality of the bag itself was still very good.

Bi Fang stood up, dusted off his knees, moved to the two skeletons, and smeared the remaining dust with the tip of his shoe, revealing a darker color on the rock beneath—a clear sign of dried bloodstains.

Seeing this, Bi Fang shook his head, wrapped the skeletons in their respective clothes, slung them on his back, and rubbed some lime on his hands, preparing to bring them out of the cave for burial.

No matter what had happened initially, the bag of diamonds was undeniably connected to these two individuals. Bringing them out for burial would at least do justice to the bag of diamonds.
